The clamor of the city hall
called the council together again
special session last evening,
Mayor Stewart, Aldermen
Morris, Patrick, Word, Newton
Moore responded. They found
a bid for electric lights had
made, and it was at once read,
follows:
To Griffin, Ga., Sept. 17th, 1889.
the Hon. Mayor and Council
the city of Griffin, Ga.:
We beg to offer the following bid
for supply lighting with your thirty streets: We will
tric lights, yon nominally (30) arc

but not outside of the present city

forty dollars, and the same propor¬
tionate rental for each additional
light turned furnished the oitj. hundred Light to days bo

from date. Very respectfully,
Griffin Light and Water Co.,
By W. A. Robinson, Manager.
Mr. Robinson explained that the
lights would be put up as soon as
possible, probably by a local
pany. They would probably be
Thomson-Houston lights, but the
company wanted the choice of selec¬
tion. If left to him, he would of
course put op the T.-H. By “nomi¬
nal” 2,000 candle power, he meant
as close to 2,000 as could be obtain¬
ed—some might be 2,500, and some
possibly only 1,900.
Dr. Moore moved to accept the bid
if it was made by the T.-H,
pany, and let it go into immediate
effect. He was seconded by Mr. New¬
ton and thirded by Mr. Word.
Mr. Patrick stated that under no
circumstances wonld he vote for
Brush lights. Mr. Newton said that
he also had been “Brushed’ enough.
Mr. Robinson desired that the
make of the lights be left unstipula¬
ted, as as it it would wouia leave ieaye him nun in in a a
attitude. If {he local company
through, the T.-H. Co. would them¬
selves put in lights under the
contract.
Mr. Word moved to add to
contract that “T.-H. or other
tric light apparatus satisfactory to
council be used to carry ont the
tract.” The bid was then accepted
with this proviso, no one
against it.
It was moved by Mr. Deane
the existing committee make and
sign a contract in accordance

ried, and it was arranged that
committee meet at the office of

Some persons have a vague idea that be¬
fore the white man arrived this great conti¬
nent was Inhabited only by male savages
that daubed themselves with paint and stuck
feathers in their hair—a most erroneous be¬
lief.
That the ancient Americans were mathe¬
maticians, astronomers, architects, artists, is
proved by what still remains of their re¬
markable work. Nor are we justified in
asserting that they were ignorant of sdaaoes
which we of late years investigate. Should
any of our cities bo abandoned today, after a
few centuries only parts of the strongest
structures would remain to mark that rite of
civilization. Archaeologists of those coming
times might then say2 “ Yes, those people left
big buildings, but they were, of course, half
savage, and knew nothing about the things
we understand.” How mistaken those future
wiseacres would tie In their opinion of lis!
How mistaken we may be in judging of those
who have preceded «s! History teaches that
nations are like Individuals, gradually ad¬
vancing to maturity, and then failing into
decay.
The people of Central America were un¬
doubtedly on their downward course When
the Spaniards commenced war against them
nearly 400 years ago; but in no respect Ware
they savages, less so, indeed, in many things
than the ruthless iu voders.
Palenque, Qpirigua, Guatemala, Mexico
and other places were ail once thickly inhab¬
ited by people about whan very little is
known; the ruins of their tong deserted cities
study them. c
There is no richer field of antiquities than
Yucatan, that sunny peninsula wboss sbores
are careered by the warm waves of the Mexi¬
can gulf and the Caribbean sea. The Span¬
ish conquerors found that the people there
had books of their own. In no other part of
America bad they found such marked evi¬
dence of culture, and their UAbULUSOiUttni/ astonishment was
peat Nevertheless, the European prie$ts
burned all the volumes they y could lay hands
on, maintaining that as they ay contained contained noth¬
ing concerning the holy Catholic religion
they ought to bo done away with. Such de¬
struction of works containing an account of
historical events and scientific knowledge—
as the Spanish historians themselves tell us
they did—was a terrible and irreparable loss.
Milton has well said: “He who kills * man,
kills a reasonable creature; but he who de¬
stroys a good book, kills reason itself.” .
It is not known how, or by whom, preserved bat four
of those American books were
from the flames and found their way to Eu¬
rope; these still exist, and as'Dr. Le Plon-
geon has found a key to the hieroglyphs in
which they are written, their contents will
some day be made known to the public. .
Yucatan was the great center of the Maya
nation, though its people spread over tbefsce
of the earth, which is the reason why we find
that word Maya in all parts of the wold,
and always signifying power in one form or
another. The peninsula, with an area, of
nearly 75,000 square miles, Is strewn with old
cities. At the time of the conquest these

Yet it is no disparagement to the accomplish¬

net a few reporters working on the Now

as difficult as that which made Mr. Raymond
regarded who «s have tbs ablest reporter of his time,
and performed feats that would
lit Mr. Raymond's early time have been re¬

reporters have set out to do and have done
called for the aid of talents, patience, cour¬
age and a keen knowledge of human nature
such as, used to any profession, would have
made the possessor of these qualities a leader

It was thought a wonderful feat when Mr.
Raymond wrote out a report ot a speech of
Daniel Webster Which, when printed, took
up seme ten columns of bis paper, and so no
doubt It was. Today it would paw unno¬

Some years ago, abont one hour before one

had been a murder in Connecticut, with sus¬

who was just leaving the office to get his

the astonished operator
“It can’t ke dona”.
“Why not!”
“Every one U gone but myself."
“Where does toe nearest operator live!"
“Very Ukeiy you will find two to the hotel
just below taking JtMr midnight lunch-”
They were found, and some money offered
them. The three operators out the special
into thirds and began sending simultaneously.
By half past 2 the special was to toe type. It
had required a journey of 150 miles after
dark, besides the overcoming of the other
difficulties mentioned, to get it, but it was
obtained.
The anecdotes descriptive of the tact of re¬
porters in good address are numerous One
of the best describes the method taken by a
reporter to hoodwink President Cleveland
and a committee which had him in charge.
It was on the occasion of Mr. Cleveland’*
visit to New York to review the parade of
the Grand Army and veterans of the war, in
the spring of last It was the desire of all
reporters assigned to the work uf reporting
this event to get as near President Cleveland
as possible whim he stood upon the reviewing
stand in front of the Fifth Avenue hotel. The
committee bad reserved a place for the re¬
porters some distance sway upon a stand.
One of the reporters, however, edged his way
to a place near the steps, by which & the presi¬
dent was to mount to the stead assumed
an air of authority, and in a brisk voieegave
commands which were obeyed by tos func¬
tionaries who stood near.
Attest the carriage in which the president
was approached. The president dismounted
and began to ascend the step* The reporter,
with bis hat in one hand and with the otter
extended, greeted the president as be stepped
upon the platform:
“Good morning, Mr. President Permit me
to escort you to your place."
The president, thinking that he was one at
the committee, acknowledged bis greeting
and permitted himself to be tad to the place
be waa to occupy, and than for a moment
stood before the vast throng chatting rto t the
reporter. A moment later Secretaries Fatr-
child and Whitney came up the stops, and
these the reporter also greeted and was in
turn greeted by them. That be took bis
place besido them and directly behind the
president, and the review began. It was all
dime with exquisite of tact and review address, revealed and the
reporter’s account the the
advantage be had obtained.
He discovered himself to Secretary Whit,
ney, however, because he could not ooutro!

president waa directly before them. The day
was hot, and it was the season of the advent
