SOCIAL SALAD
PLEASANTLY REPORTED FOR
SUNDAY’S CALL.
A moment’s pause for longing and for
dreaming,
A moment’s looking backward on the
way;
To kiss my hand to long-past turrets
Rleaming,
To stand and think of life of yesterday!
• A little time to dream of sunlit hours
Spent where white towers rise against
the sky;
To tread again that path of too sweet
flowers,
To hear again her greeting and good
bye! .
What is there, say you, in that" far-off
■ . city '
Os past living and past loving left,
Wrapped in its golden haze to stir, my
pity
And call the bitter sigh of the bereft?
The memory of a touch warm, trusting,
< clinging,
The memory of that touch grown coM
as ice?
A voice hushed that was pure as wild
bird’s singing?
A. love whose bright flame burned in
sacrifice?
Only a grave? Life of today will teach
me •
Its stream fleets fast for sorrow and
regret,
Beyond this turn its sweeping wave will
reach me,
I must go with it, as we all go! Yet—
A moment’s pausing for longing and for
dreaming,
A moment’s looking backward on the
way, ~
To kiss my hand to long-past turrets
gleaming,
' To stand and think of life yesterday!

The dance given by tbe Griffin. Ge
rman Glob at Reeves* Hall Monday
evening in honor of the visiting young

attended. Tbe german fras danced to

" and.teautiful figures.

A northern lady whose home is now
in Griffin, was debating recently
whether she would go home for the
summer months, or spend them at
some Georgia resort, or remain in the
city. “I do not like your southern
summer resorts," she said. One does
exactly at them what one has been
doing all tbe winter—dancing, play
ing cards and dressing. Now, at
home, we go in for golfing, cycling,
and all kinds of outdoor sports, and it
is so restful. Shirtwaists and abort
skirts are tbe only things worn and
we simply live, out doors. A protest
urged in favor of Tallulah Falls, Na
cocbee Valley, or other charming
spots in the Plus Ridge might con
vince nortbeners that even at south
ern resorts one goes in foi outdoor life
and sports also. The fresh air of Tal
lulah the delightful- tramps through
chasms or over mountains, or a stay
in Nacocbee’a restful vales, far from
the world’s noise and bustle, gives one
no chance for the thought of such
things as cards, dancing and dressing.
But it takes all sorts of people to make
up the worli, and card players will
ptay cards, dressers will dress, and
dancers will daoce, whether near
"Greenland’s icy mountains,” or “In-
I dia’s coral strands."

A BLOODY RECORD.
An Epidemic of Crime Spreads Over
the Country-
The latter half of the current month
will go into tbe records as a particular
ly bloody period in the state of Geor
gia. There have been more men
killed in this state during the past two
weeks than the United States navy
lost during tbe whole time of tbe war.
Tbe average has been nearly one a
day, and tbe newspaper reports each
day have contained items telling of
crimes of violence resulting io death
or serious injury. Tbe bloody period
began on Aug. 15, when one man out
the throat of another in a -.ourt room
in Atlanta. Tbe next day tbe dead
body of an inoffensive German citisen
was found on the streets in this city,
Tbe day' following a bootblack was
stabbed to death in Atlanta, and on
the same day a negro was waylaid and
shot near Sylvania. These crimes
have been followed in succession by a
murder in tbe military camp at Au
gusta, a lynching in Brooks county,
the double murder of Mrs. McGairah
and her son in Sumter county, tbe
Smith-Godwin murder in Lowndes
county, and two other shooting affairs
io the same county on the same day *,
the stabbing of one brother by another
it Gdum, the shooting of .js preacher
st Smiley, and tbe killing of a Demo
cratic leader at Cusseta. This record
does not take into account various
minor difficulties involving pistols,
knives and clubs.
Georgia, however, has not been alone
in this unfortunate business of killing.
The epidemic of crimes of violence
seems to have spread over a consider
able part ol tbe country. Arkansas
has been similarly afflicted, and so has
Mississippi and California, and New
York aad other Northern states have
not been exempt.
What has been the cause of the epi
demic? Certain scientists who have
made a study of criminology say that
the weather has a great deal to do
with murder and suicide; that many
of the most atrocious crimes have
been committed in the summer season
when the sun’s hot beams and the
humidity produce nervous irritability.
Animals go mad in summer, they say,
hence it is a reasonable deduction that
man goes mad also, and in his beat
madness takes different form in differ
ent parte of the country. In tbe
North, for instance, several of the re
cent deaths have been occasioned by
poisbn. In one case poisoned oandy
was shipped through the mails from
San Francisco to a woman in Dela
ware, and in New York in two or
three cases poisons have been admin
istered, or tbe attempt made to ad
minister them, in various forms. The
would be assassins adopt tbe method
of Borgias, those most detestable of
murderers
Tbe law, however takes no account
of the alleged mid-summer madness
which the scientific!men talk about,
and it is to be hopyr that tbe machin
ery of tbe law into motion
at once in Georgia for the purpose of
wiping out as far as may be possible
tbe red blot of tbe bloody closing half
of August.—Savannah News.
O To Cleanse The System
Effectually yet gently, when costive or
bilious, or when the blood is impure or
sluggish, to permanently overcome habi
tual constipation, to awaken the kidneys
and liver to a healthy activity, without
irritating or weakning them, to dispel
headaches, colds, or fevers, use Syrup o
Figs.
