SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1893. SHORT EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS Cotton went up 8110 n bale day before yesterday. The loss of life in the recent Gnlf storm is estimated at 3,000. Tbc Senate is a deliberative body. Very deliberate we should say. Govenor Tillman is having aliard time trying to enforce his dispensary law. Reports are still coming in con cerning the disastrous storm on the Gnlf const. Count Ferdinand DoLesseps is dying at his country house at La- Chcsnaye.. The people of Bolivia should honor Minister Taylor with a watermelon festival on bis arrival. The American boat Vigilant, won the great contest over the British cutler Vakyrie by three minutes. And now the rumor comes that small-pox has broken out in Indiana. This is indeed a great country. The big yacht race set for yester day in New York was declared off on account of a shortness of wind. It is take place to-day. Northern travel is beginning to come Southward. The Northern crop is a good one to have scattered through the country. Sarah Bertibardt was at Rio dur ing the late bombardment. She liked the show bat couldn’t stand the . fireworks. She returned to Paris. .The populists have not yet decided how they will vote on the federal election bill. The matter will be considered in a conference on Sat urday. We hope they will vote right'. Tlie American people arc Josing thousands of dollars every minute by reason of the fact that they failed to send the kind of men to the United States Senate that they thought they were sending.—Macon News. In reality, there is perhaps no one of our national passions so bard to subdue as pride. Disguise it, strug gle with it, stifle it, mortify it as much as you please, it is still alive, and will every now and then peep out and show itself. Pride goeth before a fall. Despite the fact that the cotton crop of the South is goiug forward, the reserves of the New York banks are steadily increasing. There is no rubbing out nor way of getting around the fact that the New York banks are in the saddle, and control the finances of this country.—Albany Herald, Mr. Bryan, the “young man elo quent'’ from Nebraska, overreached himself when he went to that State and attempted to rebuke the nation al administration and have his own extreme silver views adopted by the Nebraska Democratic convention. To use a homely expression, the con vention sat down on yonng Mr. Bryan bad. When Mr. Cleveland's second daughter was born, says the Brook lyn Citizen, it was generally stated to be the first presidential baby born in the White House; but antiquarian research has discovered that Presi dent John Quincy Adams has a child (afterward christened Mary Lonisa Adams) who was born in the presi dential mansion on December S, 1828, It is estimated that about CO,000 Russian Jews came into the United States since the first of Jaunary and that the number who have come dur ing the last three years is not less than 200,000. Witii this accession the Israelites of the United States number about a million. There arc still five or six millions of them in ! Bussia, and many' of them will come ! to the United States. Mrs. ttyrus W. Field has gone into the millinery business. Savannah is sure to have a lynch ing if the negrp rapist Walker is caught and he is sate to be caugbt. The anniversary of Mr. Parnell’s death was celebrated on tlic nigbt of tbe Clh iust. It is expected that tbe big yacbt race will come off to-day, provided tbe wind blows. It is now quite certain that over two thousand lives were lost in the late storm on tbe gulf. Tbc cotton crop of South Carolina is very short but there is nn ample supply of dispensary whisky. It is claimed that frost has killed the vines on the gonrd farm of edi tor Pruett, of the Albany Advertiser. Thieves got into the Russian - sec tion of the manufacturing building at tbc world’s fair recently, and stoic 810,000 worth of furs. Constant application to pleasure takes away from tbe enloyment, or rather tarns it into the nature of a very burdensome and laborious busi ness. And now comes the terrible ac count of tbe outraging of a nineteen year old white girl within forty feet of tbe courthouse in Savannah by a ne gro brute. Savannah Press: Col. Atkinson seems to realize that Georgia bad so many saviors last year that tbe title has become too common to influence 'votes with. An amphibious bicycle is tbe latest English invention. It is said that a rider can make considerable headway on tbe water by using this new fan, gled machine. Mr. Cleveland says exactly what be means, and sticks to it. That is the kind of president to have. The people respect his opinions and have faith in his word. There are 181 life-saving stations on the Atlautic coast, and when fully equipped they give employment to 1.290 men. They are fully manned for work from Sept. 1, to April 30, At last accounts Mr. Cleveland was still in the democratic party, notwithstanding the fact that he is daily read out of it - and by papcis claiming to be expondents of demo cracy.—Times. Five thousand new bills have been introduced in congress and nine hun dred aud thirty-five in the Senate since being called into extraordinary session in August. This is a small matter with the nnmbcr of lulls pre sented in Wayeross. Mr. L. Sterne a prominent- citizen of Aibany, died on the 3rd inst. I»ec county Florida lias gone dry by a big majority. The Hebrews, of Tampa Fla., will erect a $2o,000 synagogue. Lake Park h'otes. Lake Park, Ga., Oct. 11, ’93. Since my last letter, I have received several requests for a fuller description of this section. Lake Tart is situated oil theG. S. & F. K. R., thirteen miles south of Valdosta, and is quite a flourishing town. The town site is as prettily located as the greatest lover of natural scenery could wish, a large lake on the southwest af fording a lovely view of quite an expanse of rippling water, on the south and in the town is a lake of probably thirty teres, and within a distance of two miles from center, to circumference there are, I am told, twenty-five lakes, and others at a greater distance. The Lake Park Investment and Im provement Company has been doin; quite an extensive business in their line. The laying out of the town site into streets, selling lots, etc. etc., have been small matters for this company to do, for it being composed, as I am informed of progressive southern men, and Jiving in the county too, has spent money liberally to build up every industry, etc., which might help the community. This com pany duplicated the funds raised to build a large'.High School building. By the way, the principal of the Lake Park High School is a South Carolina gentleman, who several years ago, taught the Waresboro school, yclept Cleveland Institute. This school is flourishing tills ycarlo an unusual extent. Misses Clarkic Green and Alice Clayton, two most estimable young ladies assistants, with Mrs. T. F. Stephens engaged for public tenn. There are a few choice lots here which the company has reserved for hotel pur poses; and my friends you should simply come down sometime and take a view of Ocean Pond on one aide of the hill, on which the lots are situated, and then on the other side at the lovely town.

Albany, Ga., Oct. 7.(—Special.)— Some days ago there appeared in the editorial prragraphs ot the News and Advertiser, of this city, several para graphs reflecting on Col. Jake Dart, of Brunswick, and his connection with the relief committee of the city. In this afternoon’s Herald, under the head of “Advertisement,” Col. Dart pays his re spect to the author of the News and Ad vertiser’s paragraphs, wto was supposed to be Editor Pruett, in the following caustic manner: Brunswick, Ga., Oct. 5.—Tbe News and Advertiser, representing as it claims a moral vineyard, proceeds to criticise the committee of relief having amongst? its members one J. E. Dart. It may be true that I am not as perfect as he who cast the first stone, yet I have never nor can I ever, attack a man who* is trying to do his duty in the hour ofhis people’s distress nor have I ever taken advantage of a shotgun quarantine to vent my per sonal spite. The relief committee will continue their work regardless of such critics whom no inducements could force to spend one week"m our unfortu nate scourged city. So much for the de fence of the relief committee. Now to matters personal. The author of said article, be be editor or correspondent, has taken advantage of circumstances to attack me personally without cause and at a time when I am utterly helpless. As frost may come and I may escape the fever, having never had it, and my ad dress will continue to be Brunswick, Ga., I hereby publicly denounce tbe author of the article in the Albany News and Advertiser of Sept. 27th, as a low-bred coward and scoundrel, a man devoid of honor or principle who has the courage to strike a defenceless man but not one upon equal footing. A brave man will understand this language—a dastardly coward will continue' to abuse under cover. Respectfully, “J. E. Dart.” The Editor’s Reply. From advance proof your correspond ent is enabled to send topiglit Editor Pruett’s reply to Col. Jake Dart’s denun ciatory article. After quoting Col. Dart’s article, Editor Pruett will follows: Now, in reply to the above villanous attack, we can find nothing in our vocabulary' of words more applicable to this man Dart-than the old and true saving that ‘the hit dog hollers.’ In this instance the pupx>y set up a pitiable whine and endeavors to show that our criticism is unjust and hurled at a poor and defenceless man. It is not our purpose to do this man Dart an injustice. We would not harm a hair in his righteous head (?) but we reiterate that he is well known in Albany, and our people are surprised that he should have become a leader in Brunswick. Furthermore, the editor of this paper desires to say that he is responsible for paragraphs that have touched this man Dart in such a tender spot, raid as a man capable for looking out for himself, he hurls the foul language and base insinuations back into the teeth of the villainous scoundrel who saw fit to pen them. In turn and in kind, we denounce him as a scoundrel, a villain and a puppy of the deepest dye, wholly devoid of every principle that goes to make the true man. The cloak of quaran tine and a detention camp need not deter him from seeking satisfaction he seem ingly so much craves. The brave man seeking revenge stops at no obstacle to accomplish what-he deems right and just. As a matter ot information to this man Dart, we beg to remind him that we live in Albany and board at the same place, and when Yellow Jack has gone into the past and Jack Frost has come upon his mission of mercy, if not before, we can be found in Albany ready and willing to bear the consequences of what ever he may do and say. “T.
