EDITORIAL SHORT STOPS. The New York Herald thinks that the best prayer a man can say on Sunday, is to pnt a half a dollar on the plate. The financial disease with which the country is suffering does not seem to be getting any better. A remedy for financial distemper would be in great demand. The chief difference between the stage dress and the society dress, says the Savannah Horning News, is that one is abbreviated at the top and the other at the bottom. Religions quarrels are always the bitterest quarrels. New York recorded five suicides in half a day last Friday. The uncoiling of snake stories by the editorial fraternity is next in or der. llooth is slowly passing away. Death seems to be only a question of a short time. If Gladstone can weather the storm a few more months, Ireland will have home rule. The battle royal for the possession of the poor old Central is on in good shape. It is said that Mr. Cleveland neyer wears gloves. The office seekers first made the discovery. Judge Colson has been made re ceiver of the stock of Mayer & Ull- roan, Brunswick. Mrs. U. S. Grant and Mrs. Jeff. Dayis will spend the summer at the same hotel on the Hudson river. The first death of the season from Cholera occurred at Hamburg on Saturday last. The Birmingham News thinks . that Baby Ruth's sucessor should be a presidential possibility. If there is any anti-administration party in Georgia they are keeping mighty quiet. , Mr9. Wm. Blaine is to be married again, this time to her physician. A good way to pay a doctors bill. Senator Colqnitl continues to im prove. He ought to be a very healthy man by this time. When the courts and lawyers get through with the Central, as a mat ter of curiosity, we would like to view the remains. There are 77,000 Itallians in the United States and 20,000 of them keep peanut stands and run the monkey and organ business. Hoke Smith seems in no way in clined to except the invitation exten ded him by the Atlanta Herald to re sign and come home. The Enquirer-Sun suggests the possibility of Col. Sam Spencer be ing called to the receivershp of the Central. Laziness is unquestionably sinful. The man who will not work when duty and opportunity both call him to it, will undoubtedly go to the devil. —Ex. The Brunswick failures have not dimmed the brightness of her two sprightly daily papers. When these papers go under there i9 then real cause for apprehension. There’s one good thing about it. Brunswick has plenty of water and light, and her enterprising citizens will soon be hustling for the hoe- cake agan. A mug-wump is now defined to be a man who loves his country better than be docs his party and himself better than anything else. The rumor of another bank failure at Brunswick reaches us just as we are going to press. We hope it is only rumor. The amount involved in the Cen tral Railroad suits and contests is about <50,000,000. The lawyers have struck it rich. Over 80,000 people attended the world’s fair last Sunday. The gov ernment does not approve such car ryings on. Mr. C. B. Lloyd president of the Brunswick state hank and who ban been in New York quite sick, return ed to Brunswick last night. Sam Jones called a Dallas editor “a bound” in one of his sermons there. There is such a thing as be ing too emphatic in Texas. —Ex. There is nothing that so increases a man’s desire to work in the garden as the discovery Jiat bis wife has misplaced the rake. The editors know n thing or two and will not rush into Chicago until the hotel men get rich and liberal, and sandwiches are reduced to forty cents each. Tom Watson is still determined to contest Black's election and will ap pear in Washington on the loth of June. If persistency is a virtue Tom has just one. A nine year old girl was recently killed near New York city, by being run over by a bicycle. . The bicycle is not altogether as harmless as its appearance would indicate. The melon acreage in the neighbor hood of Miegs, Pelham and Camilla on the S. F. & W. R. R. is about ,200. This is the largest acreage in one belt in the state. The press of the land has decided that it is wrong to lynch everybody, but the fear of lynching is the only thing that will have a tendency to prevent a certain crime. Colorado is going to cover the roof of its public building in Denver with a plaiting of silver. That solves the problem as to what we shall do with our surplus. All we want now is a house to cover. Justice Jackson shows a determin ation to bring the Central, railroad litigation, in all its branches and ramifications, to one ripe head and then lance it. This is just wbat is imperatively needed.—Enq.-Sun. The law only allows the hangman ten dollars for each job. In view of the fact that the lynchers are about to break up the hangman’s business, it is suggested that his fee be in creased. Negroes who go north to be made much of and asked to play the piano, do not remain long. They don’t un derstand their northern friends, and their so called northern friends don’t understand them. Sister Lease’s demand for woman’s rights in Kansas seems to have been granted in full. One held up a man in regular desperado style in that State the other day and relieved him of all the valuables on his person. Attorney-General Olney has pro nounced against the Sunday opening of the World’s Fair, and if an at tempt is made next Sabbath, as threatened, the Federal Court will interfere. This is a wonderful country. Johnstown, Pa., which was practi cally swept away by the floods three or four years ago, is now more pros perous than ever, and has a popula tion of 36,000. There has been no new entries in the senatorial race during the last few days, hut then we must remem ber that there are a number of week ly papers on the outskirts who have not been heard from. The Augusta News thinks that the cannon shot that echoed around the world would’nt be a drop in the buck et as compared with the noise that would travel up and down the coun try, should Mr. Cleveland kiss the Infanta. Yon rarely' ever find a Chinaman in jail or applying for a government office “That’s what’s the matter with Hannah ?” be refuses to become a typical citizen. A Louisans woman is roaming around the country, claiming to be a prophetess. And it is said she has quite a following of men, who said a woman had no right in this country? The Globe claims to have saved the county of Decatur S2,000 in the past few week. We’ll bet its more than the Globe pockets for its own use in the next few years. One of Dr. Talmage’s elders says the reserrection will occur within this decade. He says, I myself, ex pect to be among the living when the trumpet calls, and to witness the reserrection of the saints. During the last year the board of foreign missions of the Northern Presbyterian church expended over $900,000 upon the heathen in foreign lands, and only $50,200 in the home department. Missionary work as well as charity should begin at home. Men may come and men may go, but the Dr. Briggs case goes on for ever. It’s the biggest, mustiest, warmiest uncracked American chest nut. It deserves to be hit with a sledge-hammer. Turn Dr. Briggs out or turn him in, but for Heaven’s sake give the world a rest.—Ex. Macon can, and probably will, ship the steamer Mascot to Hawkins- ville by rail. Ship her down, gen tlemen. The Ocmulgee is navigable from Ilawkinsville to Brunswick at all seasons of the year. Come down, and Hawkinsville will join you in a grand “summer excursion.”—Dis patch. “The sum and substance of most of the bank failures being daily re ported is that speculators got control of some of the banks and manipulated them for their own personal interests instead of for the interest of the stock holders, and the result proved disas trous.”—Brunswick Times. Sure to be so neighbor. There is too much flunkeyism crop ping out in America. Let one of the scious of royalty of Europe put foots on our shores and at once snobdom becomes wild with delight and the great dailies teem with the most min ute details of the movements of the “anointed.” Bosh! Give us a rest 1—Ocala Capitol. The Wild and Wooly West prom ises to carry off the championship for lynching and violence. The brutal affair at Corunna, Michigan, two lynchings and the shooting of a law yer in court in Indiana last week, make up a record that is pretty hard to beat. The “barbarous South” cannot parrallel that. — Enquirer- Sun. AMONG OUR EXCHANGES. Fernandina is preparing to celebrate the 4th of July in grand style. The Florida melon in small numbers has reached Charleston. Mr. L. P. Roberts of New Port, R. I-, has leased the Mitchell House at Thcmas- ville. The Hotel St. Simons opened yester day under the management of Jack Clancy. Atlanta is to have a new Episcopal Cathedral that will cost half a million dollars. The Times says Judge Sweat is rush ing things through in superior court, and the end of the docket is in sight. An Ice trust has been formed in Sa vannah. This is a poor way to keep the nently A fortune awaits the man who will in vent a double back-action reflector, for use in barrooms, in which one can see his wife or best girl approaching at such distance as will give him time to “scat ter” before discovered.—Ocala Capitol. The Florida legislature is devoting much time to the cultivation of pecans. Pecans are a good thing in their place but the discussions in regard to their cultivation should not interfere with the proverbially frequent “recesses for re freshment” by the Florida legislature. The following brave words from the Times show how the cat is jumping in Brunswick: “There is no such word as failure in Brunswick’s lexicon. We may suspend, but there is no power of iuan great enough to keep us down perma- for any length of time. All the European merchants “re gret exceedingly” that circumstances “over which they have no control,” will prevent them attending the worlds fair at Chicago. We thought the merchants controlled the circum stances. The Democrats of the country, says the Columbus Enquirer-Sun, will please take notice that the Repub licans are already planning for the campaign of 1896, It is well enough to keep an eye on the g. o. p., for it is not only desperate, but likewise devilish sly. We believe that Mr. Carlisle is the first Secretary of the Treasury who ever accomplished the difficult feat of entertaining the president of the Civil Service Reform League with oue baud and cutting off the heads of five offensive partisans with the other—Washington Post. The Philadelphia Record says: “Hereafter it will be required of a physician in Pennsylvania, as it is of a man who wants to establish a saloon, that he shall show whether or not he has the prerequisite qualifica tion for the business he undertakes. If the law providing for medical ex aminations shall be strictly enforced it will work a gradual and highly desirable reformation.” A slanderous story to the effect that the people of some parts of Kentucky were suffering the most direful poverty is refuted by the Beattyville Enterprise, which says: During the last tide about 300 rafts past Beattyville. Each raft carried at least three men. It would be safe to say that two out of every three men bad a pistol valued at, say, <10. This would make 600 pistols, repre senting <6,000 in firearms owned by the inhabitants of what are common ly called the pauper counties of Kentucky. —Ex. The Philadelphia Record pertinent ly remarks that as there were two lynching scrapes in Indiana last week, and the carnival of lawlessness was brought to an awful close on Saturday by the shooting and in stant death of a prominent attorney who wa^ murdered in the court house at Danville in front of the judge’s bench, let us bear no more of the sectional blather about the work of mobs in the South until we can pluck the beam out of the eyes of our Northern people. For years past, North and South, there has been an increasing tendency to crimes of violence and a corresponding over lenience and delay in the administra tion of justice. Mob law is a born twin with milk-and-water law. average citizen cool. Peaches^of the Alexander variety are being shipped from Fort Valley. They readily bring $5 per crate in New York. Editor Price, of the Telegraph, has been taking in Cumberland during the past week. McIntosh, of the Albany Herald, has a setter dog that conies to a point every time he meets a man named Bird. When Atlanta cannot furnish a fresh suicide, there must be a scarcity powder or poison.—Albany Herald. A grand military ball was given by the Brunswick Riflemen last night in that charming city. Mr. Jacob L. Beach has been ap pointed temporary receiver of the Bruns wick Brewing Co. The top crust of Atlanta society has certainly turned out some rum custom ers lately.—Eatonton Messenger. A terrific hail storm struck Bainbridge yesterday and much damage has been done in the county. The Repuhlican editors are systemat ically boycotting the Indiana lynchings while the Macon egg continues to com mand honorable mention.—Macon News. The estimated income of the city of Rome for 1898 is $103,100. Of this amount $24,000 will be expended on water works. The G’uthbert Liberal says qthe coun try must have more money or bust.” Let’s have the money then and let some other country bust. As a caption for its local column, the Brunswick Times puts it this way. City news boiled and parboiled. Well it does begin to look a little that way. The editor of the Ocala Capitol says hens eggs down that way are as large as goose eggs. The atmosphere of Florida has a peculiar effect on some people. Judge Lyon, one of the most conspic uous and able members of the Georgia bar, died at his home in Macon on the 25th inst. Sam Dunlap of Gainesville has been appointed marshal for the northern dis trict of Georgia, and will relieve Mr. Buck. Decatur county is all right. The Democrat says: “Blackberries are ripen ing. Some of our blackberry farmers ex pect to make three hales to the ox.” Hundreds of excursionists are flocking to Brunswick. It is a mistaken idea that the beautiful old city is stuck in the mud. If a seventeen-year-old youth kills himself because of his love for a fifteen year-old girl, society is rid of one very bad member at least—Albany Herald. Cards are out for the marriage to-mor- night, of Mr. John Lewis of Quit- man to Miss Rosalie McCall of the same place. The Herald tenders congratula tions. Ed Hambrick, a young man 23 years of age, committed suicide at his father’s residence, at Sargents, near Carrollton, Wednesday morning about 9 o’clock by shooting himself with a pistol. The Waycross Herald is a hustler. When Paris Perham can’t make a live newspaper there is no use for anybody else to try. Success to the bright Way- cross daily.—Bainbridge Democrat. T. A. King has probably the oldest violin in Carroll county. According to the stamp upon it, it was made in 1713, at Cremen, Italy, by the celebrated maker, Antonius Stradivarins. The Atlanta Herald is responsible for this bit of consolation: ,“When the Chinese retaliate with an exclusion act and ship our missionaries back home we can send them to North Georgia to teach the little moonshiners how to read and. write.” have already wiped the dust raised by the recent cyclone out of our eyes and are at work.” • Perham is informed that the fisli in the ’Pilco are biting at a lively rate.”— Free Press.

The basement of the Mormon temple is divided into several apartments, the larger one being 57 by 35 feet, contain ing a baptismal font. The floor is tiled with marble, polished to the highest de gree of perfection, while the ceiling is of a sky-blue tint. The font is of bronze and like that in the temple at Jerusalem rests on the backs of twelve oxen, also of bronze which stand with their faces to the east, west, north and south. Grand and impressive as this apartment is it is mediocre when compared with some of those on the upper floors. Om ni particular is deserving of special mention.

Editors Waycross Herad—Dear Sirs : Since writing yeu last week I have j Jacks* been somewhat perplexed over a study in which the relative positions of farm ing and science are deeply involved, and have decided to sketch some of the fair est thoughts, in a general way, deemed worthy of public mention, chiefly be cause of an undercurrent in the great turpid stream of human events which ripen and yield to the magic touch of intelligence, and are at last appropria ted and hobby ridden by so-called scien tific fanners whose chief business in life lies in a superb ability to give advice and borrow money. There can be no question, however, as to the advanced spirit of the age in which we live. That we are accustomed to directing the course of human events and enjoying to the fullest extent, the privilege of having everything our own way. But it has occurred to me that possibly there may be a point beyond which it may not be safe for experimen tal science to experiment. The graceful experiment of shooting a man under the Atlantic ocean to Europe through a pneumatic tube in five hours may be all right if the passage is not attended with too much friction. But those fellows up North who propose to tone down and manipulate the force of Niagara falls are going to tackle a big job. There are some visible distinctions between science and experiment worthy not only of lat ter day sanction, but which will forge its way into the conceptions and practicable operations of schemes as they crop out in elements of thought at variance with the laws of nature. Now, the Professor of Krupp institute, just over the creek, has been reading - :ne light article on the theory of ;br':’.'.. ::g the forces of the great Niagara fa! I.a, and converting the grand old chasm i:: to a brilliant reservoir for the collection and maintainance of a sufficient force of electricity to supply the world from some convenient point in New York city, and has requested me to deliver' a lecture to his graduating class on the science Of transposition in volved in such an undertaking. Now, Mr. Editor, you understand my position; some pebple want to say Bill Krupp has been caught out, sat upon, or something of that sort. But I expect to forestall them in this matter, and go on record without a bobble. Please send me all the literature possible bearing on the subject, and state plainly if in your opin ion, it will be necessary to inject any mathematics. Bill Krupp. such profusion that the sight would drive a dealer in this product insaue with envy. To be permitted to look upon the magnificent work for an hour is said to be worth a year of one’s life and a trip peross the world.—C. M. in Harper’s Weekly. Humor or Napoleon I. (treat men have often been deficient the sense ot humor. This was mark edly the case with Na|H>icon I, whose sense of humor, if he possessed it, was of a grim sort. It is recorded, however, that he had a certain sympathy with a pun, and several of his minor appoint ments were actually made because the appointees’ names seemed to indicate their fitness for the place. He made M. Bigot, for instance, his minister of pub lic worship at one time, and when he was looking about for a governor of the pages in the imperial palace he could think of no one so appropriate for the place as General Gardanne, whose name, in French, signifies a keeper of don keys. When he came to make Marshal Vic tor Beau-Soleil a duke, it struck Napo leon that the opportunity was an excel lent one to make a sort of reverse or “back action” pun on the marshal’s name. Beau-Soleil signifies “beautiful sunshine,” so the emperor created the man the Due de Bellune—which was very much as if he had made him the Duke Fine Moon.—Youth’s Companion. Peaches and Cream. Mrs. Edwin Gould, who is only in her nineteenth year, is a tall, handsome bru nette of graceful carriage. Miss Wannamaker is heiress to at least $2,000,000. She is so pretty that she would be a catch if she hadn’t a cent. Mrs. Charles Carroll, of New Yoik made an arctic voyege around the world, •as part of her wedding voyage in 1891. Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson is a port ly, gray haired woman, who was a grand mother when she married her second husband. Lady Evans, wife of the ex-mayor of London, was a housemaid at the Oaks hotel, Seven Oaks, England, prior, to her marriage. *The wife of Mark Twain is a hand some demiblond with wavy brown hair. She is forty years old, but she doesn’t look it She inherited a fortune. Miss Florenbe L. Stephens, of Venita, in the Cherokee nation, is a pretty and accomplished full blooded Indian girl who is now in Boston completing her musical education. “What the Metroplis would like to have definitely settled is' whether or not the Plant system has scooped the Flor ida Central and Peninsular system-of rail roads, and - if the scoop has been made when the fact will be made public ?’— Metropolis. We are not exactly in con dition to settle the question for the Metropolis just now, but there is one thing we can say, if the Plant system does make the scoop referred to the peo ple will not be injured. Very Pleasant. “We are dead sure that no man in Georgia, not immediately identified with ThomaSville and her grafting interests, rejoices, more in the prosperity of this place, than Editor Perham. Thomas ville has a warm place in her heart yet for the young man who shouldered his musket in 1861 and went to the front from Thomasville. She has never lost sight of her son.”—Thomasville Times. Under any circumstances, such a notice as the above would be pleasant, but coming as it does from the home of our boyhood and after an absence of more than a quarter of a century, makes it doubly so. Full well we know that we are not forgotten. With such friends as we have always had in Thomasville to .remember us life is indeed worth living. A London periodical states that five hundred thousand acres of land in India are devoted to opium culture; that eight thousand chests of the drug are annually consumed in that country, and that nine teen thousand chests are sold in China every year. . Not an Enemy in the World. Mrs. Hicks—“Mrs. Dix declares thdt you called her husband a natural born fool.” Hicks—“I didn’t say anything of the sort; I simply said he hadn’t an enemy in the world.” Mrs. Hicks—“Well what do you call that?”—Browning, King & co.’s Month ly- The man who wipes his nose on his sleeve, picks his teeth with a fork, squirts tobacco juice on the cook stove hearth, rides to mill with corn in one end of a sack and a stone in the other, drives to market with hickory bark lines, deposits his money in his last winter sock, insists on paying his tax with coon skins and wild honey, fastens his suspenders with wooden pegs and wears “possum belly” pants, is the same rooster who has no use for home papers, and his brother is the fellow who tries to do business in town without a line of advertisement— Ex. They were walking about the grand court of honor at the world’s fair gazing at the-colossal figure of the genius of the republic, when the bride with the peachblow cheeks appealed to the hap py husband: “George, dear,” whispered the shrinking creature, “why does she hold up her hand?” George thought a moment: “She is not a native,” he re plied soulfully, and Chicago compels all visitors to do that”—New York Sun.
