J^NOI A SOUTHERN SIAN.
— DO t a Southern man in the Cab-
, President RooseTelt?
' nur first opportunity will you
■ this way recognize the South
C mponent part of the common
c0 “” „ra of good feeling is manifest in
.jation. Not in fifty years have
” r , y ljues so interlapped. McKin-
lev's'last speech was a free trade argu-
, i Expansion is an accomplished
-jlie standard is here to stay.
rte government’s colonial policy and
£n ,ncial policy are settled.
tensive reciprocity, the Bepnbli-
' ,. ay of coming around to free
trade, will leave little chance for a fight
between the parties on the old battle-
ia d of the tariff. The people of the
country are busy and want a truce
from politics.
great questions remain, to be sure,to
b e solved — the trust question and the
, me tax question among them-but
t b e Government’s policy is fixed for
nearly four years and for the nonce
there is a lull in the fighting. Mr.
Roosevelt has pledged himself to carry
0 , Jt this policy, which is now fixed,
“without variance.” There are South
ern Democrats who in the main are m
harmony with it. Is there any reason,
theu. why a Southern Democrat should
cot in good faith accept a position in
Roosevelt’s Cabinet and enjoy his ut
most confidence?
TURKISH BRIGANDS
WANT BIG RANSOM
Demand 25,000 Pounds For
Miss Stone’s Return.
A CAPTURED MISSIONARY
At Coustautiaople the Opinion is Ex
pressed That the Bulgaro-Mucedo*
nlan Committee Was Concerned in
tile Abduction.
Constantinople, Sept. 37.—The Rev.
Mr. Haskell, a missionary at Samakov,
Bulgaria, has received a letter from
Mi?s Helen S. Stone, the American mis
sionary who was carried off by brigauds
Sept. 5, in the district of Djuajabala.
It does not reveal the whereabouts of
Miss Stone, but says she is in good
health and nas been .well treated by the
brigands, and especially in the earlier
stages of tne abduction. Latterly, in
consequence of tne vigorous pursuit of
Turkisu troops, sne had been subjected
to privations.
Miss Stone adds that the brigands de
mand a ransom of SI5.000 Turkish
pounds. Tne opinion is expressed in
Constantinople tnat tne Bulgaro-Mace
donian committee was actively con
cerned in the abduction of the mission
ary.
BURGLARS AT MAYSVILLE.
ATLANTA GETS A TOUCH.
The Athens Banner says: “Atlanta
s getting big enough to feel the power
>f gigantic money combinations. For
ears the people of that city have wit-
ie8 sed a terntlc struggle between con-
licting street railroad interests and now
hose interests have all combined in
me big syndicate worth over twelve
uillion dollars, which will proceed to
;ive the Gate City a sample of mo-
iopoly.
“All of which leads us to say that
he lay is at hand when Georgia must
ake active steps to keep corporate
lower within just bounds. A corpora-
ion has its rights, but it will bear
ratehing as sure as you live. The
ights of a corporation should be re
jected, but the law should be strong
inough to keep the corporation strict-
y within those rights.”
The Times-Recorder freely agrees
with The Banner and takes this op-
>ortunity to say that insult has been
itided to injury in this instance, for
hat special Atlanta corporate monop-
ily has been instrumental in eleoting
fames G. Woodward, a well known
irnnken debauche, alderman of the
:ity. Doubtless the Rapid Transit
tailway Co. will vote him throughout
lis term of office.
They Kiild Many Mores^uuil Make
Tln-ir Escape.
Maysville, Ga., Sept. 27.—A gang
of burglars has raided the town, carry
ing off quire a lot of loot, consisting of
pistols, cartridges and other hardware,
pants, shoes, drygoods, clothing *-and
such small amounts of cash as they
could secure by rilling the cash drawers
in each place they entered.
They provided themselves with fools
by forcing their way into the black
smith and carriage shop M Girrara &
McElroy, and then proceeded to burg
larize the principal business houses of
the town by opening the front doors and
carrying away such goods as they want
ed.’ Some eight or ten stores were
robbed, and an attempt was made upou
the postoffice, but the burglars seem to
have bfecome alarmed, and, leaving their
tools on the front steps of the Atkins
baqk, got away. No arrests have been
made so far.
ENGLAND'S WAR CHEST.
No Autumnal Mission of Parliament
For Replenishing Same.
New York, Sept. 27.—Discussing the
South African situation, the London
correspondent of The Tribune says:
"Three ministers attended the king’s
council yesterday, but it was a formal
function and offered no justification for
the rnmors that there would be an au
tumnal session of parliament for re
plenishing the war chest.
"Mr. Chamberlain remained for some
time with the king after the council,
and without doubt was closely ques
tioned respecting the situation in South
Africa
"Campaign expenses have been pro
vided for until the end of January, and
there is nothing to indicate anv inten
tion on the part of the military authori
ties to dispatch reinforcements on a
largo scale. ”
The lawyers who defended Czolgosz
were experienced and competent, and
their reputation is such that it was not
necessary for them to resort to petty-
fying to gain notoriety. Thus the re
sult: speedy justice meted out to the
President’s slayer.
GEN. MILES IN FAVOR.
Washington special to the Chi-
Tribune says:
n the selection of Col. Whitney as
aid to the President gossips
ad the department buildings see
evidence of a protective shaking
it army headquarters, which may
sensational results. As every
tnows, there has been a long and
r fend between Lieut. Gen. Miles
Adjt. Gen. Corbin. When Col.
levelt signed the round robin at
iago advising that the army he im-
iately taken away from the city
. Gen. Corbin was rather pro-
iced in his* criticisms, and later on
: on record as being opposed to
ting a medal of honor to Col
iovelf.
t has been supposed, therefore,
President ltooseveit would nat
ly ally himself with Gen. Miles
ar than with Gen. Corbin. This
ry seems to lie borne out by tho
^nation of Col Whitney as special
i) the President.”

MR. CARNEGIE’S PLANS.
New York Pastor Talks of the Great
Philanthropist.
New York, Sept. 28.—Home from
Scotland after spending the summer as
the guest of Andrew Carnegie at Skibo
castle, the Rev. D. S. Mackay, pastor of
the Fifth Avenue Collegiate church, in
an interview, told of the development
of Mr. Carnegie’s philanthropic plans,
of his intention to return to the United
States in November and Mrs. Carnegie’s
co-operatiun with her husband in dis-
rnsing the great Carnegie fortune.
[r. Mackay said:
“Mr. Carnegie is a very busy man.
His latest benefaction was to provide
the churches of Scotland with organs.
So far his secretary told me there had
been provisions for 350 organ.*, costing
from $1,500 to $3,000, so that nearly
$1,000,000 must have been expended in
this way. Mrs. Carnegie is fond of
music, and although nis munificence
threatens the popularity of the bagpipe,
1 believe the organs will do much to
soften the austerity of the church ser
vice.
“Mrs. Carnegie has entered heart and
soul into her husband’s plans. Mr. and
Mrs. Carnegie and their daughter Mar
garet will return to New York on the
steamship St. Louis early, in November.
Their New Yerk home will not be ready
for occupancy by that time, but they
have decided to come, anyway, and
there will be no change in their plans.
“Mr. Carnegie’s only reference to
business matters whilq I was with him
related to the strike of the steelworkers.
He said he could have prevented the
strike if he had been in Pittsburg to
confer with the men.”

Sues Alabama Midland.
Montgomery, Ala., Sept. 20.—A suit
has been filed in the Montgomery city
court by Dan McManus against the Al
abama Midland railroad for $10,000
damages. The plaiptiff alleges that on
March 10, 1901, he was a passenger on a
train of the defendant corporation, and
that when at Ansley he alighted from
the train to get something to eat He
avers that he was re-entering the train,
and while on the rear platform the en
gine gave a sudden jerk, throwing the
plaintiff to the steps. He caught hold
of the railing, but his strength failed
and he fell under the wheels. The car
passed over his limb and crushed it so
badly that amputation was necessary.
• Rebel Against Resolutions.
New York, Sept. 23. — The World
says: Columbia university students are
rebelling against the resolutions in re
gard to hazing they were made to sign
by the faculty last spring. During the
week the various classes have met and
decided to place stringent rules over tire
freshman body, because of the curtail-
ment of the upper classmen privilege!
President Seth Low, in nn effort to fore
stall a repetition of last season’s occur
rences, has addressed a not. to each of
tho undergraduate body, in wbioh ho
calls attention to the spirit of tho reso
lution they signed and asks their con
tinued co-operation.

Hodge, telegraph operator at this place,
