OF COIIR8EI (THE BREAKFAST TABLE America* Freight Rate* Are Not Rxcelled In Southwest Georgia. The Macon Telegraph of yesterday contained the following: Col. S. H. .Hawkins, president of the Savannah, Americus and Montgomery Railway and Steamboat Company, says Americus Is enjoying a 27} per cent, lower rate (all rail route) on all Eastern freights than she was prior to ber water connection through his road at Abbe ville. In addition to this the water line is working 10 per cent, under the above figures, which really makes a reduction of 35 per cent, on all Eastern freights. And on just this ground we claim that Americus as a market presents unex celled advantages either to the jobber or retail buyer. It is a well-known fact that the city contains more and better business bouses tbaD any town of its size in the state, and there never existed a liver or more wide-awake sot of mer chants than those doing business witlilD its limits. They have ample capital upon which to run In first-class style and they don’t fail to do so. The re markably small number of assignments recorded in Americus during recent years is an indisputable testimony as to Its excellence as a commercial centre.

A Half-Witted Negro Steele a Beby and Trie* to Sell It. Perhaps the most curious case of theft on record came to the attention of the police in this city yesterday. Ben Jones, a balf-Witted son of Julia Davis, colored, stole a negro baby about two years old and carried it around the streets offering to sell it for the small sum of one dollar. He approached many persons in the endeavor to dis pose of the child, which he claimed to be his own. Someone notified Chief of Police Lingo of the fact and he Imme diately dispatched Officer Wheeler to se cure the infant and return It to ita mother. This was done even before the mother had discovered the fact that her child was missing. . ISN’T IT TIME For the Executive Committee to Begin Operations? Isn’t ft time that the City Democratic Executive Committee should be making some preparations for the election to take place some time next month?

The Fat Men’s Club. “The Fat Hen’s Club” presented at tbe ypera bouse last nlgbt was an enter tainment of fnn and laughter all tbe way through, and tbe repeated en cores with which they were, greeted were only a deserving recognition of tbe excellence of the performers, though, in consequence, the time of closing was prolonged to a late hour. The farce has little or no plot, yet le a series of lndlorous and laughable spe cialties which cannot fall to please. During the second act many novel and pleasing features, vocal, dancing and acrobatic, were Introduced with marked success. ’ J. C.

Things Not Generally Known. It is the large proportion of heated rays which causes the unpleasant sensa tion to delicate eyes, experienced after reading, writing or sewing for a consid erable period by the light of a kerosene lamp. The evil Is always much greater In any kind of artificial light than In the com paratively cool light of day. Robbed, ss this often Is, of the greater portion of its seventy per cent, of heated rays by moist atmosphere and repeated reflections. If, therefore, we wish to protect tbe eye against tbe heated rays, we must pass the light through a substance which cute off thefrays to the greatest possible extent. It Is of this substance that the “Diamond Spectacles" are composed. The superiority of the diamond may be summed up as follows: 1. They are ground with the most pre cise scientific accuracy. 2. The temperature of the diamond fusion being lower than tbe atmosphere and the materials preventing the concen tratlon of tbe heated rays are kept cool, and weakness and disease are pre vented. How vital, therefore, it is that In pre paring to use spectacles only .the best and those approved by scientific author ity ahould be selected. ■ ■ The perfect fitting article raaly be pro- cured by application at Thompson A Anderson's-, Hotel Windsor Jewelers Wholesale to the trade—my prices will make you buy., 1. . -- -■ E.D.

As a poet, whatever comparisons may bo made with liis predecessors or con temporaries. at home or abroad, what ever just criticisms may be recorded, we believe it will be found at the end that a large part of Lowell’s verse has passed into literature, there to remain. The originality, vitality. Intensity and beauty of the best of it are self evident Al though a true, spontaneous poet, bis life bad other strong interests and engross ing occupations, and the volume of his verse does not equal that of others whose carters have extended beside his own: bis Impression as a poet upon his time has not equaled that of others. It may. indeed, be said that if as strongly poetic in nature as they, he would have been dominated as exclu sively as were they by tbe poetio mood. However this may be, the quality of Us genius, as shown in his-best work, was. vourget . we believe, quite as fine as tbat of any ]• > poet writing English in bis day. Bo one can read Ua last volume of verse without being impressed anew by the vigor, variety and spontaneous charac ter of Lowell’s poetio gift Even Us literary faults are of inch a nature as to testify to tbe keenness of his thought and the abnndance of bis intellectual equlpmenL—Century.
