Italian section bands in Kentucky
ate buzzard and died. Crow is a very
common dish among politicians, but
seems to be the limit in the diet line.
Dollar dinners are getting mighty
popular these days, as a banquet for
public men. The hotels seem to give
cut rates for large crowds.
And now Fairbanks denies that

■for Presidential honors. Most every
body else has. Why not make it
unanimous?
Rice throwing proved disastrous to
the preacher at a New Jersey wed
ding, when an old shoe laden with the
cereal hit the parson in the eye. The
recipient of the blow was probably
ready to inquire “who threw that
brick?”
On a charge of manslaughter a
Christian Scientist couple were fined
SIOO in a Pennsylvania court recently
as a result of the death of their son
without medical attendance. Chris

Savannah is all worked up over the
question of corporal punishment in
schools. Every issue of their daily

Since his recent “bouncing” from
the directorate of a New York bank
by the New York Clearing House, C.

on his own accord in his steamship

Within twenty-four hours after
Bryan reached New York for his tour
of speech making in the Empire state
things began to happen in a very
alarming style. Whether the pres
ence of Bryan had anything to do
with the matter, or whether it was
the long absence of the Nebraskan
which made such conditions possible,
is an unanswerable question.
GEORGIA JINGLES
Whether the “tiger” will growl at
Mr. Bryan's approach remains to be
seen.—Columbus Ledger.
No. The Lion will he down with
the Tiger and all will be peace in
New York.
Japan is propressive. The Mikado’s
government has sent a nuyn to Switz
erland to study hotel-kteping.—Al

The .Taps evidently want to get wise
o all kinds of graft.
Savannah and Waycross have a re
gular hawk and buzzard fight over the
Atlantic car shops.—Moultrie Obser
ver.
And the rest of the state does not
■ar a wheel which gets it.
Senator Clay may run for the sen
ate again, but if he does, when the
race is ended his name will me Mud.
—Augusta Herald.
How very inaccurate in the matter
of geography. Mr. Mudd is trying to
represent Maryland in the United
States senate. Georgia is generally
satisfied with Senator Clay, even ;
hough the Augusta Herald has a j
lore toe.
Still, it is well to remember that the
gentleman who discovered the Missis
sippi River was named Ferdinand and
not Theodore.—Newnan News.
It would require a long memory to
be sure that the trip was ever made
before. But it is a safe bet that the
“only Theodore” had more Committees
of Welcome than his predecessor.
THE KING IS ON HIS THRONE.
“Only a gamblers' panic” is the ver- J
diet on the financial troubles which |
have wrought havoc with a number of j
banking institutions in New York the {
past w eek. And the rest of the coun- j
try is getting mighty tired of such !
events, which, though their influence |
is very much on the w r ane, affect in
some measure confidence elsewhere.
Once upon a time the people were
fooled into the belief that the sun of
prosperity rose and set in Wall
street, which was as the gamblers
aforesaid wished it. The wider the
belief, the more money Wall street
w r as able to draw into its net from
the rest of the country.
A few years ago a distrubance like
the present one would have precipi
tated a panic over the whole coun
try: Its principal effect now is to
cause banks In other cities to proceed
very cautiously until the storm blows
over in New York.
“I hear of no trouble among the
banks and trust companies outside of
New York,” says Comptroller of the
Currency Ridgely.
The present situation brings out in
bold relief the very, very large share
which the South plays in the nation's
prosperity. Its crop of cotton is the
magnet which draws millions upon
millions of foreign money to this
country, and turns an otherwise un
favorable trade balance into a big
surplus.
With a good cotton crop in the
South, which lias practically a mono
poly of the staple—its hard to bring
about a real financial crisis. And
this year the crop is satisfactory and
the price good. The golden wealth
lias just begun to flow into this
country in exchange for the South’s
product and its a bad time for engi
neering disaster.
So it comes about that the South
has no ganger of financial troubles,
and this assurance also puts the rest
of the country on notice that there’s
nothing doing in the disaster line,
notwithstanding the nipping of “high
financiers” in New York.
Cotton is King, and the King is on
his throne. The country is safe.'
SUMTER TEACHERS
IN ANNUAL SESSION
Programme Arranged Eor

Price.
A number of questions of interest
were brought before the meeting
which aroused considerable discussion
Mr. J. T.Price made the point that
the step between Bacon’s and Went
worth’s arithmetics was too great.
At present there is no intermediary
book. In the discussion which follow
ed those who spoke agreed with Mr.
Price. It was also suggested that
Bacon's arithmetic was not suitable
for the primary grades.
A. J. Clark, W. J. Dowd and Miss
Clara Knowles were named as a

the next monthly meeting of the
teachers.
This committee brought in as its

BRIDGE WHIST IS MUCH
ENJOYED BY THE CLUB.
Occasion on Eriday Delight
ful One.
The Church Street Bridge Club, the
first of the numerous clubs to open for
the season, held its first meeting at
the residence of Mrs. Henry B. Allen,
on Church street, Friday afternoon.
This pretty home was made most
attractive by waving palms and ferns,
and beautiful cut flowers, and for sev
eral hours the handsomely gowned
participants played with zest this
favorite amusement of feminine Amer-
icus.
The prize, a handsome book, was
won by Mrs. Allen Hill. Refreshing
ices were served during the evening.
Many new names were added to the
list of the membership of last season,
and many dreary winter days will he
| made merry by the club.
Those present were: Mesdames
George Duncan, Glenn Dodson, W. A.
Allison, Henry Bagiev, O. A. Arm
strong, Barlow Council, Allen Hill,
Sam Clegg, Dejvitte Pickett, Ceorge

MArZONI, THE WIZARD
AND HIS GREAT TRICKS
Escapes Erom Straight
Jacket in Full View.
“I’ve got a pair of new handcuffs
for that Mr. Matzoni,” said Chief of
Police Feagin yesterday. “He’ll have
the time of his life getting them off
his wrists. In fact I have my doubts
about him getting th§m off at all.”
Matzoni will appear at Glover's Op
era House Tuesday night and ex
pects to maintain his title as hand
cuff king and jail breaker.
One of his best acts is to release
himself in the presence of the aud
ience from a straight jacket. After
being tightly fastened in the straight
jacket he works his way out in full
view of the audience. At one place
where Matzoni played, three or four
days, a local man claimed that he
could do the trick. He was fastened
up and for three hours tried to get
out. Some of the fastenings were
then loosened, and he was still un
able to extricate himself.
His ability to “break jail” is the
marvel of the watchers. Locked in
a cell and handcuffed he is able to
break out without leaving a trace as
to the methods he used. He escaped
from a cell at Valdosta, August 17,
from a cell at Albany on Sept. 26,
and from a cell at Blakely on Oct. 10.
At "Boston, Mass., he was nailed up
in a box, after which iron bands
were fastened both ways around the
box. The cabinet was kept open so
that it could be seen that there was
no confederate, even if such an indi
vidual could have opened the bffx.
The box was placed in the cabinet
which was surrounded by the wat
chers. In a little while he emerged
safe and sound.
Besides the feats referred to, Mat
zoni has a number of slight of hand
performances which mystify the on
lookers.
Reports from places he has visited
are most flattering and everything he
started out to do was accomplished.
The programme Tuesday night will
be one of his best. His deeds are
past human comprehension. v
PROHIBITION GETS
START IN EAST
DOVER, DEL., October 26. (Spe
j cial) —The wave of prohibition which
| during the past year has swept a
; large section of South with surpris
j ing results is gaining a good start
j in the East. On the day of the gen
! eral election next week, Delaware vot
i ers for the first time will have the
j right of franchise to determine whe
i ther the second smallest State
\ in the Union shall enter the column
j of “dry” States. The vote will go by
J districts and the prohibitionists are j
j, confident of success in the rural dis- ;
I tricts and also believe they have a |
good chance of winning in the cities.

at the theater last night were much
pleased. The experiences of the fam- :

views were also shown. Large crowds
atended as usual.
IS PRESENT TROUBLE
DUE TO ROOSEVELT
New York Politicians Will
□ Debate Question.
NEW YORK, October 26. —(Special)
—Senator P. H. McCarren and Chair
man Timothy L. Woodruff, leaders
respectively of the Democratic and
Republican forces in this borough,
have challenged each other to joint
debate. The subject to be discussed
will be framed up as follows:
“Resolved, That Theodore Roose
velt and his administration are res
ponsible for the present disturbance
in the financial world.”
It is hard to say who is the challen
ging party. Each of the leaders was
anxious to get at the other on a lec
ture platform this morning, and
challenges were flying thick and fast.
This is the way the thing developed:
“Senator McCarren has raised an
issue,” said Woodruff, who saw an
opportunity to enliven a very dull lo
cal campaign by bringing the Presi-
dent into it. “I take his statement
as an attack upon the policy of the
President and of Gov. Hughes, both
of whom are engaged in the work of
stopping abuses in high circles, which
abuses when uncovered have brought
embarrassment to certain individuals.
We take up the issue and will wage
this campaign on it if the senator
wants to.”
“That suits me,” said Senator Mc-
Carren, when he heard what Wood
ruff had said.
Ahd so the debate was arranged.
The time will be decided upon later
FEAST OF THE SEASON
SPREAD AT CAFE
When twenty-four invitations were
extended yesterday to twenty-four cit
izens, who could appreciate fully the
finest dish the menu of Georgia af
fords, to assemble at McLeod’s case
at 4 o’clock, there were just two doz
en instantaneous acceptances, and not
an absentee. Again was Capt. W. R.
Paschal the genial host of the occa
sion, while a whole dozen fat and
savory possums formed the piece-de
resistance. The large platters, each
holding two deliciously barbecued
marsupials, were fringed with baked
potatoes, while etceteras completed
the tempting menu. The occasion was
wholly informal, th eguests by una
nimous vote declining to hear speech
es from a half dozen lawyers present,
preferring rather the J!east of pos
sum to uncorked oratory .Capt. Pas
chal is an enthusiastic possum hun
ter, as well as the best road builder in
Georgia, and is never more pleased
than when thus sharing the fruits of
the chase with his friends. Si Haw
kins, who can give a French chef
cards and spades on cooking, direct
ed the preparation of the dinner and
thus added other laurels to his fes
tooned brow. Forty pounds of pos
sum was thus served, and Capt. Pas
chal was again voted a host royal and
promised a seat in Congress whenever
he would quit work and accept it.

BLACK HOST IS HERE
AND FILL UP CITY
The five passenger trains arriving
in Americus during the noon hours
yesterday brought at least fifteen hun
dred negroes here from country vil
lages and nearby towns. Streets lead
ing up from both the Central and
Seaboard depots literally swarmed
with the out-of-towners, while from
the country districts came other
thousands by wagon. The hand ap
pendage of every other pilgrim was
a cheap carpet hag valise or paste
board suit case, from quart to gallon
size and not a few of the black buy
ers were soon busy in the booze
booths. Butt it was an orderly crowd,
and while many may have bought the
oil of joy, others bought drygoods,
shoes and groceries and all were
very well behaved.
