SHORT EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS Cranks are multiplying in this coun try at a fearful rate. It is said that there are eight thous and destitute people in upper Michi gan. The Constitution thinks General Evans has the inside track for gov ernor. Indiana and Illinois were consider ably shaken up by an earthquake day before yesterday. The President's Hawaiian message will strike Congress to-day. The country is anxious to see it. Governor Jones of Alabama is be ing threatened by cranks. The thing seems to he getting pretty close home. The fanners iu the northern part of the State are emigrating in droves to Texas. They had better come to Ware county. v A statement is soon to be sent out giving the amouut of money contrib uted 1 to the relief of Brunswick and its disposition. Dr. Win. S. Law ton 7 of Savannah, died on the 17th iost. He was one of the most highly respected citizens of the Forest City. All the property belonging to the Americas Investment Company is soon to be sold under decree of t e court to pay the holders of their bonds. The Democrats propose to admit three new states 'at this session. ^ . They are Utah, Arizona nud New ^’Mexico. And they arc all reason ably safe as being democratic. It is to be hoped that Congress will soon be through with the Hawaiian matter, so that it may go ahead with •the measures which the interests of •the country demand should be acted On at once. It is now thought that the Brazil ian insergeants, under Mello, will win. Mello says he will sue the ^United States for allowing two war •hips to be fitted out. in this country 'for the Urazilliao government. Under the Wilson bill a person is toot allowed but $250 of weariog ap- $earel when returning from abroad. All above that he is to pay a duty. This is pretty hard on the actors, Tauderbilts and editors, who make frequent visits to Europe. The Emperor William has recently given the Berlin people another proof of his wonderful versatility. He went out the other day and shot 385 hares in two bonrs, and the next day conducted an ochcstra. The emperor rpaints, sings, writes poetry, preaches oteers a ship, fences, shoots, plays music and runs the government all With eqnal neatness and ability. With some few* years mole of ex perience he will be competent to run .a newspaper. iFrank Crenshaw, a 9on of ex-Col- lector T. C. Crenshaw, killed Charles Jett, near Lawrenceville, Thursday afternoon. Crenshaw is a Govern ment guager and Jett runs a licensed distillery, and the difficulty giew out of an effort of Crenskrw to discharge bis duty, which made Jett angry and induced him to make a threatening demonstration toward Crenshaw. Crenshaw left at once to consult with his father. The famous Iun at Anniston is to be closed as a hotel and will be con verted into a school for the Sonthern <Feraale University, whose buildings Were destroyed at Birmingham last week. At the time of the fire the mnivereitv had twenty-three boarding (pupils. The Inn will afford ample tecomodations for school purposes «ad room for the boarders. The session of the university will open at the Ion on the first Monday In January. The income tax seems determined to come in. It is understood that this is to be Hawaiian week in Congress. Jacksonville with a population of twenty thousand, has four daily papers. Burglars and small thieves are becoming as epidemic as the grip in Savannah. McKinley is evidently trying to convince himself that the republican party is not dead. The multiplicity of tramps would indicate that there is something radi cally wrong in the country. The Governor of Florida has been knocked out by the prize fighters. Or it looks that way, certainly. Is it not better to put a slight tax on the rich man’s income thau to raise the price of a poor man’s sugar. Over two hundred and fiftv appli cations for retail liquor license have been made to the city council of Savannah. W. K. Vanderbilt is said to have a powerful weakness for a quiet game of poker, which he plays only with men who can afford to lose the money without feeling it. A spiritualist convention will he held at Winter Park. Fla., beginning January 14th 1894. The prospects are that a very large attendance of spiritualists will be on band. The democratic Bostou Globe thinks it strange that overcoats should de made so unusually long this season, when everything is so unusually short. That is strange, sure enough. The poverty of Chicago is sail lo be appalling. Thousands of home less men are sleeping on stone floors and thousands more have nothing lo eat, and yet the banks have more money than ever. A few protectionists iu congress who were elected as democrats at tempted to organize a democratic re volt on protection lines, but met with such a cold shoulder on all sides that they didn’t know where they were at. If Corbett aud Mitchell really de sire to meet where the best man can win, they should join rival football teams ard then “do each other” with out offence to the law and to the de lectation of the people.—Pensacola News, The lower bouse of congress has passed the bill admitting Arizona to statehood aud it will now go to the senate. New Mexico will soon fol low suit and Oklahoma will then be the only territory left out of the union. There is much gossip in Washing ton‘as to who will be Cleveland's political legatee. Secretary Morton is now said to be the favorite. If he were from a northern state it would be Secretary Smith, the brainy executive of the interior department. We seldom or never hear of a wo man crank or lunatic rushing around and killing people. If a woman does commit a crime of this kind she generally has a clearly defined mo tive. Despite the male opinion to the contrary, women are mncli better balanced than men are.—Exchange. Conference Ministers Preach Strong Sermons at Dawson. Dawson, Ga., Dec. 17.—-This has been a great day in Dawson. Bishop Galloway preached the ordina tion sermon at 11 o’clock a. m. to a crowded house, and afterwards ordained a large class of deacons. The Bishop was at his best, or if not that good enough for the most exacting taste. He is an eminent preacher. Tbe masssve- nesa of bis thought, the elegance of his dissertation, the terse and startling ut terance of unexpected truths, make him easily one of the foremost preachers of the day. The sermon was a masterpiece of pulpit oratory, and it moved and lift ed the multitude. Its delivery recalled the days of the pulpit giants. At the same hour Dr. W. A. Candler preached at the Baptist church. This strong and masterful speaker stood be fore a large audience and preached a val uable sermon. Something must be se riously the matter if Watson Candler doesn’t prove his call to the miuistry when he preaches. THE ORDINATION SERMON. At 3 o’clock p. m. Dr. J. O. Branch preached the ordination sermon, and a class of elders-elect were ordained. Al{ who had heard this gifted gentleman were prepared to expect something ele gant and strong, and they were not dis appointed. The house was crowded, and so were the sentences that fell iu order from the lips of the elegant speaker. Dr. W. J. Harrison will preach at the Baptist church to-night. Tffiit means a great treat to all who mayvgo. Memorial services will be held to-night in honor of Rev. John M. Marshall and R. B. Lester and of Mrs. J. Blakley Smith and Mrs. \V. C. Lovett. It will be a touching occasion. The conference will adjourn at noon to-morrow. Dr. Mercer, of Georgetown, a lay dele gate, died suddenly thi3 morning. He was a noble spirit and is much lamented. Fnmily Names. Limer comes from lime burner. — Chandler was once a candlemaker. Pointer and Poynter had fathers who made lace. Tanner comes from the name of a leather dresser. Skinner’s great-great - grandfather dealt in hides. Inman and Taverner formerly enter tained travelers. Buffler, as a family name descends from Bcaufleur. Payne, Paine and the like are con tractions of Pagan. Seamer aud Seymour are the descen dants of tailors. Croker and Crocker ha.l lathers who made earthenware. Stammer and Studdard are relics of phisical infirmity. Viner, Vinter and Winter were once keepers of a vineyard. Plainer and Plummer prepared feath ers for ornamenting birds. Pear, Pearman, Perrerand Perryman once kept pear orchards. A POWER BEHIND THE THRONE. Secretary Lamonl’s Influence With the President Tery Great. Washington, Dec. 17.—“I would rather have Dan Lamont’s influence in a matter before the president or congress than that of all the other seven mem bers of the cabinet combined.” This is what a sharp democratic member of congress said yesterday after a visit to the war department. He continued: “Dan Lamont is not only secretary of war—he is President Cleveland’ vate secretary as much as he was during the first administration. Mr. Thurber, the de jure secretary, is a very nice little man, but he doesn’t know anything about what is'going on. Mr. Cleveland never tells him anything—except that he is receiving callers, or is busy and does not want to be disturbed.” What the congressman says is so. When Mr. Cleveland has any business to be attended to in New York or else where he sends for Secretary Lamont, and “Little Dan” comes and goes. Mr. Lamont is’the smartest man in the cabi net and this Mr. Cleveland knows. It is wonderful the affection which exists between these two men. There i * be tween them as wide a difference in ap pearance and temperament as it would be possible to find between two men. Lamont is confiding and conpanionable, while the president seems to be suspi cious and hermit like. Mr. Cleveland is so queer in his likes and dislikes and so indifferent as to the friendship of the men with whom he comes in contact that he seems to fairly revel in the affec tion he has for Lamont. “Dan” is about the only man the President ever confides in and the men of congress are beginning to realize tills fact. NORFOLK’S PENSION FRAUDS. Mrs. Eugenia Etheridge Acquitted of V Yiolatiug the Laws, Norfolk, Vju, Dec. 16.—The United States jury to-day acquitted Mrs. Eugenia Etheridge of the charge of violating the {tension laws. This was the most im portant case upon the docket, owing to the high social stauding of the prisoner, she being one of the .first ladies in the county. It is now believed that she c-mnot be convicted of any oithe charges Ready for Notice. Washington, Dec 27.—Cha.rman Wilson, of the ways and means commit tee, spent to-day as he has spent all his spare time for the-past week, working on the majority report of the tariff bill. The report will be laid before the democratic members of the committee at Mr. Wil son’s house to-morrow night. If the report meets the appropriation of Mr. Wilson’s conferees, it will be presented to the full committee. Tuesday morn ing. The report will not be as volumin ous as that which accompanied the Mills bill or the McKinley bill of more recent date. It will outline the changes that have been made in the more important of the customs schedules, stating the Teasons therefor and'* the anticipated effect of the changes. The remaining data at hand will be held in reserve, to be incorporated in the chairman’s speech which, following the usual custom, will be the first speech delivered on either side after the bill is taken up in the House. The opening speech on the republican side will be made by Representative Burrows, of Michigan. Ex-Speaker Reed will close the de bate for theprepublicans, and Represen tative Brcckenbridge, of Arkansas, will probably perform a similar service for the democratic majority. Will Not Mix. One of the many statesmen in the South Carolina legislature exclaimed a few days ago, in the course of a fiery oration, that there were some people who wanted to read out of the Democratic party all who stand on the Ocala platform. We cannot imagine a sillier remark than that. IIow is a man who stands on the Ocala platform to be read out of tbe Democratic party ? He is out of it already and placed himself out of it when he got on the Ocala platform. The Democratic platform is as far from Ocalaism as it is from the principles of the Re publican party. A more nonsensical or mischievous political scheme has CHRISTMAS BELLS. St Nick Surprised and onr places iu Selling Good Timos, Because of the Good Things you can buy with a little money. SEE US TO-DAY. Brad Watson & Co. seldom been formulated in this coun try than that which is known as the Ocala platform. It is the essence of government paternalism, and is strongly impregnated with socialism. There is an irreconcileable conflict between Democracy and Ocalaism. Any citizen can take his choice be tween the two, but he cannot be both a Democrat and an Ocalaite any more than he can be both a Democrat and a Republican.—Journal. HARRISON GRAHAM. He Escaped a Day or Two Ago and Has Been Recaptnred. Blackshear, Ga., Dec 16.—Harrison Graham, the convict whose escape from Offerman convict camp was reported in to-day’s Morning News, has been re captured. When Re escaped he went to Jasper Raulerson’s, about nine miles from the camp, and there stole a horse from T. J. Raulcrson, Jr. As soon as the horse was missed Mr. Raulerson and Mr. Harvey followed his trail, and as the negro did not know the roads, and made poor progress, they pursued him so closely that he abandoned bis horse and attempted to escape on foot, but Raulerson and Harvey overtook him as he was trying to get the ferrymen to pat him across the Satilla river at Strickland’s ferry, and covering him with their rifles, forced him to surren der. He had a pocket knife which he offered to the ferryman to carry him across the river, and a cold chisel, was brought here to-day and turned over to W. S. McMillan, city marshal, who will carry him to the comp to-night Y0UMANS& GERBER dealers ix DUMPS. IfSTPEB, JEWELRY. SILVE-RW7VRE, Etc.
