Did you ever ask a man the time

you ever receive an answer before the
man pulled his watch out again and

The New York star informs ns that
it is the custom of a certain wealthy
family of that burg to apply a novel
test to new acquaintances. Tliey
seat the stranger m a rocking chair
and sit about to watch him or her.
If the visitor rocks the verdict is giv¬
en against him and he is thenceforth
cut off from the calling Bat of the
family. If he or she sits quietly and
does not away to and fro the case is
considered as being decidedly in his
or her favor. Rocking chars, not be¬
ing English, are necessarily unfash¬
ionable in Angiomaniacal Gotham,
but it occurs to plain American folk
that they were made for the very use
that is tabooed by these representa¬
tives of the elite. H not, why not?

A writer gossips of sotae White
Sulphur bells of note. Retells espe¬
cially of the Virginia girls who have
reigned for more than one season—a
difficult feat and one performed by a
few exceptionally beautiful and witty
women. For beauty akme counts
for Kttie. Many a woman as beanti-
tel as Yeans ever dared dream herself
has failed miserably as a belle be¬
cause of her lack of brains. Men ad-
mire women who can talk to them on
other subjects than men and dreftt,
and vour inane beauties have little
show against their less beautiful, but
more brilliant rivals. And when
beauty and wit are combined—then
look for broken hearts. ^ , ,
With the opening of toe eeaeon the
question 6 f a day at home comes up
and many of the social leaders who
have not done so before will adopt
the sensible custom this winter of be-
ing at home one day in the week.
When; i a few society people first com¬
menced to do fins, tile custom was
greatly ridiculed by the majority,
but a social law based on politeness
and common sense must hold its
ground ultimately. The demands
upon fashionable woman’s time in
the gay season are such that visiting

to social life. Who wants to see
company every day? The pleasant¬
est of visitors are often an interrup¬
tion to urgent duties. But when one
sets a day for seeing people, she puts
on her prettiest house gown, her
house in order, and looks forward
with idfehands tojan easy .chatty day.
In appointing these days it would be

A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
A Little Boy Shoots HU Infant Broth¬
er’s Head Off.
Woodbury, Ga., September L 6 .
[Special.]—Our little town was
thrown into a fever of
Sunday evening about 3:30
by the report of a shot gon. It
ing Sunday evening of course
ed the attention of every one in
ing of the report. The report was
the house of E. J. Stanford and
arriving there we beheld the
horrible sight we ever saw.
Stanford, about 8 years old,
playing with the gun not knowing
was loaded and the gun waa
ly discharged, the entire load enter¬
ing the right side of little Frank
Stanford’s mouth and blowing
side of bis face and head off, and also
the right shoulder. Death was in¬
stantaneous. Little Frank was
brother to Knox and two and a
years eld. Knox was also injured
from the discharge of the gun. His
lips were split open. He couldn't tell
how the accident happened. Banks
Young had been out shooting bats a
day or two before and a shell became
fastened in the gun and be carried
tbe gun to house loaded and it was
this shell that was fired and killed
little Frank. Knox is almost heart¬
broken at tbe idea of having taken
bis brother’s life. We extend to tbe
bereaved family aud relatives our
heartfelt sympathy in their misfor
tune. Tbe remains were taken to
Waveriy Hall for interment.

BELKNAP DOWN AND OCT.
The General Manger of the Central
Railway Beeigna.
A Savannah special to the Macon
Telegraph says: General Manager
M. 8 . Belknap of the Central railroad
. .. . become manager
of a sew bank in the (Sty of Mexico.
This resignation will take effect Oct.
1st. The rumor of bis retirement
from the Central caused a good deal
of surprise when it became known
this afternoon.
Maj. Belknap will leave Nov. 1, for
Metrico. The bank erf which he is
director and of which he is to be gen¬
eral manager and cashier, has just
been organized with a capital stock
of $ 5 , 000 , 000 , and is known as the
International and Mortgage Bank
of Mexico. H. B. Hollins ft Co., of
New York; E. W. Clarke ft Co., of
Philadelphia; Robert Colgate, of
New York; Wm. C. Matthewson
Co., of London, Eng., and Martin
ft Co., of Mexico, are the representa¬
tives of the syndicate which controls
the bank.
The resignation of Maj. Belknap
will be a general surprise in railroad
circles, as it was unexpected. Mr.
Belknap was looked upon as one of
ablest railroad men in the South.
His resignation will be acted upon
at the October meeting of the direc¬
tors. There is some gossip in con¬
nection with Cecil Gabbett as his sue-
rawer,

Superintendent T. J. Kimbrough
and Horticulturist Gustave Speth, of
the Experimental Farm, were in tbe
city yesterday and paid the News
and Sun office a very pleasant call
leaving an. advertisement for the
building of two cottages, which will
be fonnd elsewhere.
Not much work can be done as yet
at the farm, until the crop is taken
off; bat some land has been cleared
and some wheat and rye sown,
new ram is also in contemplation.
Director R. J. Redding, who has
jost returned from the Ohio excursion,
was expected yesterday, but foiled to
come. He will probably arrive to¬
day. He will take np his abode at
the farm as soon as dwelling room
can be made for him.
Fatal Disaster on tbe Central ■
A freight train leaving Atlanta a
little after nine o'clock on Monday
night was derailed when nearing East
Point by a tie placed across the
track. Engineer John Jordan and
Fireman Bob Martin, of Macon, and
Flagman B. M. Parker, of Atlanta,
were killed. Several cars were brok¬
en and several caught fire, making a
bad wreck, which detained yesterday
morning’s down passenger about
three hours.
