GRAND MASTER ROBERTSON
(By Telegraph to the Herald.)
Paris, Feb. 8.—The promote of a
reconciliation between the Count and
Countesa are leaa bright since yes
terday, owing to developments that
hare occurred in that time. Careful
investigations which have been con
ducted on behalf of the Countess have
brought to light many additional facta
in regard to Count Ben;, which had
not been inspected. Vhcai revela*
tlons related particularly to vast debts
which Boni has been ontric.ing, hop
ing he would be al.e to make his
wife pay them. One Item alone is In
the shape of jewelry bills which, it
Is said, the Count had contracted to
the amount of 6,500,000 francs. The
Countess now refuses to pay this bill,
as well an many others of a like na
ture. She says she will pay all legiti
mate bills after she has secured separ
ation, but will pay nothing before this.

A governor with a largely devel
oped bump of rugged honesty and less
of political shrewdness is what la
needed—Col. J. H. Estill Is just about
that.—Fitzgerald People.
Mrs. Nansen, the wife of the ex

was a zoologist, her mother a slater of

A Little 8ermon on Graft
Our national awakening to honesty
ought to make us honest ourselves,
but it won’t. When we have driven *
all the grafters out of the country and
fumigated after them, we shall Btill
live, personally, lives of fraud. You
don’t believe It? Walk along any
shopping street any morning and see.
-Tihe first yon moot Will be * clerk
hurrying to his work, with ten min
utes to be half an boar late In. What
is he but a grafter?
'The second will be the young head
of a new family, his eyes glued on
stock quotations, and his thoughts fix
ed on the "market,” where he will
gamble away the clothes and food and
credit that belong to his young wife
and little babies. Wbat is he but a
grafter?
The third will be a delivery boy
slipping bis hand into a basket of ap
ples. What is he but a grafter?
The fourth will he a young lady, the |
soul of grace and the very spirit of
beauty, who has left the breakfast
dishes for her mother to do in order
that she may look over the Christmas
things. What is she but a grafter?
The fifth may be almost anybody—a
merchant, a jobber, a contractor, a
newsboy, a professional man, perhaps,
even a clergyman; ana If he would
open the secret chambers of his heart
to see we might ask of every
one: What is he but a grafter?
We are all sinners and we are all
grafters In some degree. On Sunday
mornings, then, while we walk to
church with a prayer In our hearts for
the wrongdoer of every class, let
of the young man if he had secured
the marriage license and after receiv
ing the answer that he had not, he
kindly informed him that he wonld
have to wait until this morning to se
cure a license. The young people
spent the night at the Phoenix Hotel
and decided to go on to Savannah to
be married this morning. There
apparently no .objection to the mar
riage, as the mother of the young la
dy was along and went on with them
to Savapnab today. <A

I see ln the Waycross Journal u
proposlton to have a barbecuo here on,
the 15th, the day that Hon. Hoko
Smith is invited to spoak here, and in
vite all other candidates for governor
or senator to be here and speak on
that day. This, Mr. Editor, is a pol
itical trick to get up a barbecue for
Hoke Smith, as any thinking man
can see that the crowd would be cred
ited to Hoke Smith. He would do
all the speaking. Now I am not tak
ing any very extensive part in tho
political fight that Is going on for-
governor, but I have sense enough to.
see where the people are sought to bo-
humbugged In this barbecue business,
and 1 ask all Estill men to stand by
their colors and not be Induced to
contribute to the Hoke Smith barbe
cue under any other name. *Now*
Hoke Smith has agreed to come hero
on that day, and fils followers are safe,
ln making n proposition like tluit. bat
the other candidates have a right to.
be consulted as well as Hoke Smith,
and It might not suit them to como
on that day, and after the people h/ivo
contributed their money to got up tho
barbecue It would* he too Into to re
call It.

and what I say I want the whole peo

I cast my lot with the South Geor
gia people 25 yearn ago, and I will bo
with them In whatever pertains to.
their best Interest as long as 1 stay
with them, and 1 am with them in-try
ing to elect a South Georgia man- for

portunity, and if they act wisely
