A DYING TRAMP’S FAREWELL. I
He Sends a Pathetic Message to Ills
Mother.
Jesup, Ga., Jan. 8—Two white men,
presumably tramp, John Sullivan, of
Richmond, Va., and Thomas Clarke, of
Salisbury, N. C., arrived here to-night
on train No. 12, at t o’clock. The for
mer is shot in the abdomen. His state
ment is that he called at a large white
house at Patterson, on the left of the
road going south, and asked for some
thing to eat, and that a man shot him.
Sullitan is 30 years old, and his attend
ing physician, Dr. \V. C. Ea»on, reports
him in a dangerous condition, and docs
not think he will live twenty-four hours.
Being asked if he realized his condition,
and if he had any message he wished to
send any friends he gaye the following:
Mrs. C. O. Sullivan, 114 North Twen
tieth street, Richmond, A”a.: My Dear
Mother—The advice you have so often
given me God knows I would now willing
ly take it if I could. I was shot this af
ternoon while in the act of asking for
something to eat. May God bless you
all is my last prayer. Affectionately,
John.
The Value of Advertising.
A Wealthy man endeavored to show
That fortune comes to those who advertise
A poor man said: “’Twas money thrown
away/’
And seemed the other's logic to dispise.
They argued long, till each to his own view
Unknowing, had the other one converted
The rich man hastened to withdraw bis ads,
The poor man rushed to have an ad
inserted.
A year or more is it, I trow,
Since those two men thus argued and
conversed.
Oae rich, one poor, they still exist to day—
But Fortune their positions has reversed
Yankee Blade.
The tariff bill U safe in the House,
but the Senate will endeavor to give
it a black eye.
And now it is feared that absente-

into disgrace.

to the dehate on the tariff.

If there are any other democrats be

That there are a number of other gen
tlemen in the state who would make
good and efficient governors, there can
be no doubt, and of these there are quite
a number who would be preferred by
many to either of tho gentlemen men
tioned. There has been little modesty
displayed in the matter so far and we
see no occasion for it now The ambi
tion to be governor is laudable and hon
orable and the time has arrived when
the friends of aspirants should bring them
j to the front. We insist, that if for no

GIRLS LURED TO THEIR RUIN.
A Shoe Shop at Tampa Proves to be the
Den of a Demon.
Tampa, Fla., Jan. 8.—About eight
months ago an old man by the name of
Fraser, about G5 years of age, came here
and put up a shoe shop on Polk street.
Nobody seemed to know or care any
thing about him. But in the last few
hours an outrageous scandal, more
worthy of the work of demons in the
dark ages than of the civilization of tho
nineteenth century, has been sprung
upon the people of Tampa. At first he
rented a small shop, but soon leased a
lot and built a little shop of his own, ran
a partition through, and rented part of it
out to other parties. Thereby hangs a
tale. It was suspected that he was in
veigling young girls into his shop by
giving them presents, and then assault
ing them. These suspicions caused him
to be put under espionage, with the re
sult that he was caught yesterday after
noon. The names of the little girls are
Clinton, Tindaulf, Taylor and Thompson.
Some of them are respectably connected.
Fraser was arrested and there was strong
talk of lynching him. The girls range
in age from 8 to 13 years. The case will
come np for a hearing at once.
There are 68,806 postofllcerlTr the
United States, but they are not yet
all filed by democratic postmasters.
However, they may be before Cleve
land’s term as president expires.

Hon. Ben £. Russell will be a candi

the 2nd district. He Should be re

The income tax is the most equita
ble and just of all the taxes levid
and is very popular with the masses,
irrespective of party lines.
A “blind tiger” was unearthed the

is a singular phase of human

There is nothing new in the talk
of a growing distrust in Mr. Cleve
land’s policies. Shortly after bis
famous letter to the Cooper Union
Meeting it was strongly urged that
be had forever rained himself in his
political prospects. Yet we . have
lived to see time vindicate the cor
rectness of his theories, and to see
him indorsed by the most tremendous
majority ever given a political party.
And all this, too, in less than two
years after the promulgation of .his
famous silver letter. It will be just
so again.
i.arted with a Bible and Broke the
Bank,
“The most peculiar use I ever saw
made of a Bible,’’said Will T. Fry, “was
in Cincinnati.” A gambling house there
was conducted by a man named De-
Bardeleban. One night an agent who
sold Bibles for a living sat down at the
table and lost steadily until he was broke.
The only thing pawnable in his posses
sion was his sample Bible, snd the deal
er let him have $1 on it. The agents
luck changed at once; he played all
night and all the next day, and by 3
o’clock in tbe afternoon the Bible and
the furniture constituted tbe sole assets
of that gambling room.—St. Louis Globe
Democrat.
Held Up a Train in Georgia.
Atlanta, January, 8.—The express
authorities have received report of an
attempt to rob the express car on the
Rome, Carroltop and Columbus railroad,
Saturday night, in Harralson county, at
Felton station. Three men entered the
car and covered the several railroad men
pith their guns, As a precaution valua
bles are not sent out on night trains^md
the losfe is light.
Mr, Turner For the Senate.
That there is a very widespread dis
position in favor of Hon. H. G. Turner
for the United States Senate is daily
manifested by open expression in his fa
vor from all parts of tbe State.
From every standard by which the
capacities of men are rated, by every
interest which localities are involved in
politics, the counties of the Eleventh
district may be counted for Mr. Turner.
While Mr.Turner has not formally-an
nounced himself as a candidate, it is now
apparent that his friends arc pushing his
name to the front 1 i •
At present, therefore, it simply be
comes a matter in which the people are
interested in deciding their choice for
representatives in tbe next Legislature.
There are several prominent candidates
before the people, and the people can
only express a choice by having the
legislative candidates express them
selves.—Brunswick Times-Adrertiser.
comes nearer being a joy fore
anything earihly.
The old-time nigger is the happiest of
all living creatures, and he is essentially
a part of southern life. The new-fan
gled nigger is an innovation, and not an
innocuous acquisition, either. He is out
of place and puts on airs. There is
nothing better calculated to perturb
Hades in a community than a stylish
coon. He gives one an impulse to make
an application of a board to the seat of
his trousers. But the old time nigger is
difierent. His clothes are full of patches
and he don’t care a straw who knows it.
He is polite, jolly, good natured and
knows how to pick a banjo, keep time
witli his feet, drink gin, dance a jig at
any time of the day or night, and knows
more odds and ends and snatches of
songs than were ever written, can sing
them all in the same monotonous air
through a life time. He delights to
jumble a lot of syllables together and
belch them out in a lumj, which he has
an idea means something, and he will
take the most reckless chances on its op
positeness. He has more quaint ways of
dialect and he can laugh harder at
nothing than any other person whatever.
We all like the old time nigger. He is
a part of our society and we would’nt
under any circumstances do without
him.
Reading and Athletic Club Organized.

That Poor Crazy Woman. .
It now transpires that the poor crazy
woman, mention of whom was made in
these columns some days since, was put
on the train at Savannah and sent to

on a Savannah hound train Saturday,
and she was returned to that city,

A Safe Leader.
The Atlanta Journal has proven it
self a fair exponent of democratic A>rin
ciples and a safe leader of the party in
Georgia. Its authority as the party or
gan is fast being recognized -and it
quite safe to quote the Journal on all
questions pertaining to party principles
and party polity. It is fortonatejudeed
for the organized democracy of the state
that we have such a paper to rely upon
when the dark waters of dissension and
discord seem almost ready to over whelm
us. We are pinning our political faith
to the Atlrnta Journal.
Comlitiou of the South.
The Chattanooga Tradesman, in it
new year issue, gives a very interestiu.
review of the industrial situation in th
south for the week ending the 1st iust.
A very gratifying increase in the, num
her of newly established industries in
dicates that public confidence is being
gradualy restored. It seems to be gen
erally admitted that the Imanufacturing
and business interests of the south will
revive at once as soon as a definite set
tlement of the tariff question is arrived
at, and that the southern states were
never in better condition to take ndvan-
vantage of a settled condition of affairs.
The southern banks are iu good financial
condition and able to meet all reasonable
demands.
Thirty-nine new industries have been
established or incorporated during the
past week, together with eight enlarge
ments of mapufactories, * and eight im
portant new buildings. /

Thaddeus Stevens’ Wit.
When Thaddeus Stevens had taken
to his bed for the last time, a visitor told
him he was looking well. “Oh, John,”
was the quick reply, “it is not my apper-
ance but my disappearance that troubles
me!” One day a member of the house of
representatives who was noted for his
uncertain course on all questions, and
who confessed that he never investigated
a point under discussion without finding
himself a nentral, asked for leave of ab
sence. “Mr. Speaker,!’ said* Stevens, “I
do not rise to object, but to suggest that
the honorable member need not ask this
favor for he can easily pair off with him
self!”—San Francisco Argonant.
