The Chicago packing-ho uses
seem to need the muck rake: also
a few muck shovels.
When a dark horse turns green
it is a sign that there is something
the matter with it.
Arkansaw ? s State Democratic
Convention seems to be imitating
the late convention in Tennessee.
Frenchmen say they want no
more of our meat. All right; let
’em stick to frogs and snails and
worms and horse meat.
Jn these perilous days of tainted
money and tainted meat, impure
food and adulterated drink it is al-
most dangerous to be safe. It is
distressing to know too much.
Demagogues who know' nothing
of the merits of the question have
been hurraing for the rate bill, but
when it is proposed to cut off their
passes they strenuously object.
The anti-pass amendment to the
rate bill is causing protests to be
forwarded to Washington. Those
who have been carrying passes for
years will be loth to give them up.
If it is not one sensation it is an
other. Exposures tread upon
each other’s heels, so fast they
follow. The meat-packers’ scan
dal now has the center of the stage.
One cannot sidestep the fair At
lantan who fain would attach man
to her possessions. One is going
all the way to the Philippines to
harpoon the soldier boy of her
choice.
In the meantime your Uncle
Willie Bryan is about to glide into
the limelight as a presidential
bubble. Billious Bill cannot be
downed by a few little silver-plat
ed defeats.
And now they charge Teddy
with Extravagance because he
keeps a little squad of forty police
men on duty about the White
House, and at the Government’s
expense, of course.
An Atlanta man who was bitten
by a copperhead rashed into a sa
loon and drank so much liquor he
could hear it slosh when he walked.
He killed the snake poison, but he
is now in the hospital.
The Senator who has taken pos
session of Depew’s seat did not do
S 3 without permission. Is the
Senate to know the venerable and
withered Peach no more? His term
does not expire until 1911.
Hon. John H. Bankhead, who
was recently defeated by Captain
Hobson for the congressional nom
ination in the Sixth Alabama dis
trict, has announced his candi
dacy for the senatorial succession.
In an address delivered on Dec
oration Day, Mr. John W. Frasier
commander of a Philadelphia
Grand Army Post, declared that a
school history of the United States
should be written in such fair and
impartial manner that it w T ould be
entirely acceptable to both the
North and South. He favored
such a work because he was confi
dent it would result in a complete
extinguishment of the smoulder
ing embers of sectional feeling.

BRINSON AS A RAILWAY BUILDER
The Common Carrier prints an
interesting sketch of Mr. George
M. Brinson, president of the new
Brinson Railway,which is now un
der course of construction between
Savannah and Athens. It follows:
‘‘George started years and years
ago with a little saw mill and a
mile or so of logging road, I do
not suppose anybody ever worked
harder or conducted as much bu
siness without capital as he did.
Certainly nobody in these parts
had as many judgments and close
calls, but George always managed
to back the sheriff off the right of
way.
“He kept buying all the land
that ‘jined’ him and ten or fifteen
years ago had upwards of 20,000
acres in one body. He decided to
build a town and he called it
Still—more. That was his policy
—still more land, still more road.
He started the town and other
people came along and helped him
to build it.
Then he pushed his road south
to Collins, on the Seaboard.
‘ k He had planned to build it to
Brunswick on the coast and on the
northern end to Greenville, on the
Southern railw r ay in South Caro
lina. George Brinson can build
more road with less money than
any man in America —bar none.
“It used to be said of Ed Ma
chen that he could build a road
with no other resources than an
empty cracker box and a right of
way. Brinson could dispense with
the cracker box. He neither made
cuts nor fills, but just laid the ties
and rails up hill and down, taking
the ground as he found it.”
TOO PROMINENT FOREPAYMENT
Editor Vaughn of Milledgeyille
like many other too trusting ed
itors, has been the victim of such
misplaced confidence at the hands
of “prominent” citizens w hom he
favored and who consider them
selves “too prominent” to be asked
for the money they owe. But Kd
, itor Vaugnn is going to turn over
a new leaf, and it will behoove
, every other editor in Georgia to
. do the same thing. Banks demand
payment from “prominent” citi
zens; why then should not the
newspaper? A man who relies up
i on his “prominence” to escape
payment of his honest debts is the
one who will bear watching and
. who should be made to pay.
Prominence shorn of honesty is
hypocricy indeed, and the dead
beat who, under the guise of his
| “prominence” (and some here are
prominent) should be dunned
without hesitation wherever found.
Let the public see whether or not
s the clothes he wears and the food
» he eats is ever paid for. Too many,
right here in Americus, owe for
i their paper, their clothes and even
the food that sustains them, and
without the remotest idea of ever
paying for either. Let everybody
dun these “prominent” gents.

MONEY OR ICE WATER HEALS
i Six years ago an Ohio woman
was knocked down by a street car.
From the day of the accident until
last Thursday she had never
walked a step. The accident par
alyzed her lower limbs, according
to the testimony of experts. She
was carried about in an invalid’s
chair, and had to be lifted as occa
sion required. She sued the rail
way company for damages, and
after long litigation received the
sum of SIO,OOO in settlement for
her claim. Shortly after she got
her money she had a vision, in the
midst of which she was told to
take an ice cold bath and to sway
her bodjr from side to side. She
folio wed directions and was speed
ily and completely cured, so that
she could dance at a party. Her
neighbors regard her restoration
to perfect health as a miracle.
They indignantly spurn the idea
that the SIO,OOO payment had any
thing to do with it.
«ie find Been There.
The clergyman was holding a chil
dren’s service at a continental resort.
During the lesson he had occasion to
catechise his hearers on the *parablo
of the unjust steward. “What is a
steward?” he asked. A little boy, who
bad arrived from England a few days
before, held up bis hand. “He is the
man, sir,” he replied, with a reminis
cent look on his face, "who brings you
a basin.”—London Globe.

The Publisher's
Claims Sustained
United States Court of Claims
The Publishers of Webster’s International
Dictionary allege that it “is, in fact,the popu
lar Unabridged thoroughly re-edited in every
detail, and vastly enriched in every part, with
the purpose of adapting it to meet the larger
and severer requirements of another genera
tion.”
We are of the opinion that this allegation
most clearly and accurately describes the
work that has been accomplished and the
result that has been reached. The Dictionary,
as it now stands, has been thoroughly re
edited in every detail, has been corrected in
every part, and is admirably adapted to meet
the larger and severer requirements of a
generation which demands more of popular
philological knowledge than any generation
that the world hasever contained.
It is perhaps needless to add that we refer
to the dictionary in our judicial work as of
the highest authority in accuracy of defini
tion; and that in the future as in the past it
will be the souree.of constant reference.
