Sidney Tapp is still writing

announcement. Siduey is a great
hum orest.
Dr. Nunnally, of Newtian, an*
nounced that the pressure of his
friends were so strong that he had

local paper at Newuau came to our
desk last week stating that Dr.
Nunnally’s announcement came as
a complete surprise to his home
people.

VALEDICTORY.
Seven years ago on tbe 19th of
January of this year, I sent out
the first ii.sue of the Enterprise
after its purchase of Mrs. S. W.
Hawkins. During that time I have
never given the columns of the
paper to the advocacy of any prin¬
cipal or policy which I did not
conscientiously believe to be right.
In that length of tune I have
seen Covington grow by leaps and
bounds aud believe her to fie one of
the best towns in Georgia, commer
cially and intellectually. In sev*
ding my connection with the
newspaper business, I still expect
to make Covington my home, and
within the next few months to eu*
ter another line of work.
Prizing, as I do the friendship
of the people of this sectiou, thank¬
ing those who have stood by the
Enterprise m days past and with
the kindest and best wishes for
the prosperity of all the people, I
bid my friends and patrons an af¬
fectionate farewell.

A Perfect Example.
A lawyer whose mouth was

Quoth tho lawyer: t i < A non-possi

the corner of Broadway and Thir
ty-fourth street, New’ York City
where three car lines converge,
when a seedy-looking individual
apparently from the country, ap

“I want to go to the Brooklyn

plex.ty at the cars rushiug iu six
different directions.
“Very well,” said Goodwin, se
verely, “you can go this time but
never ask me again.”

Major C. H. McGregor states that
be will submit his candidacy for
Congress in opposition to Hon. T.
W. Hardwick to any white prima

which it is called. He styles him¬
self a “Reconstructed Democratic
Rebel,’’ a term which will cause
much hair-splitting by self-cousti
tuted commentators, but which,
with its contezty makes it nlain
that the Major does not intend to
stickle . , on words _ and thereby . . , let
his opponent force him out ot the

Albany Herald: Tom Watson
has written another letter to the
Atlanta Journal, and it makes in
teresting reading. Audit does
another thing—it gives us all to
understand that Tom Watson ex¬
pects to take an active part iu the
pending State campaign. He an¬
nounces that he intends to address
the people of Atlanta at no distant
day. And there is an intimation
that he may renew allegiauce to
the Democratic parry, as witness
this extract from this letter:
“Where this Hoke Smith cam¬
paign may carry him or me, I can¬
not say, but I promise it shall be,
so far as I can steer, toward the
principles of Democrasy as taught
me by Jefferson, by Jackson and
by Alex Stephens.
The State Capital of New’ York,
at Albany, has beeu in course of
construction twenty-six years, and
the work has cost more than $24,
000,000. In appearance it is one
of the tine3t capitals iu the United
States, excepting, of course, that
| il ‘ L Washington. But notwith¬
standing the time and the
expended on the building, tlie re
port is that it is iu danger of fall
iug down. A Tunes special from
Albany ... quoting . such emmecut
autboi lties as AOlliam Barclay
Parsons and Daniel E. Moran,
says such structural weakness have
been developed at the foundation
of the central dome as to threaten
Die integrit y of the whole building,
The grand staircase iu the rotunda
has been ordered boarded up and
the main passenger elevators stop

letters displayed at each. The
mam entrance to ll.e lobby lias
likewise been ordered closed and a
danger sign displaeyd. Several of
the great pillars of the rotunda
have cracked, and there are other
indications of faulty construction.
All of this, it would seem, presn
ges the developement of a graft
scaudal iu connection with the
building, unless one is barred by
the statute of limitations.
