When it pulled 'jju aKCordele, all the coaches were lore Jillerf to their utmost capacity, passengers were standing in the aisles and on the platforms. Be tween four hundred and fifty and four hundred and sixty people were on hoard. The people of Cordele were at the union station to meet the train and the excursionists were received with open arms. The excursion was the most suc cessful ever run by the A. it B. and a neat sum was netted for the company. The crowd was very orderly, not a quarrel or a case of drunkenness was reported. Everyone was good natured and seemed satisfied with i the trip. Mr. H. C. McFadden, * general freight and passenger agent of the road, personally con ducted the excursion, and its suc cess is largely due to his elTurts. His private secretary, Mr. D. K. Ream assisted Conductor Smith in the sale aud collection of tick ets. The only hitch was the delay on the return trip. The train was compelled to moVe slowly between Cordele and Fitzgerald on account of the new track, and inferior water frcilitics.

The mare turned Wilson’s cor ner at full speed, threw the buggy across the street into a vacant lot, and she scampered on toward the court house. A nurse with a baby was about to cross the street opposite Mai* bm’s, the mare run directly for them. It appeared that they would be killed or badly hurt.

English tolls the fol- lowing fish story, the very best one that ImB come to light IliiB spring: “A friend and I were out fish ing mi t lie Sat 11 la river the other day,” said he, "and my friend had out a trout line with a star head minnow for a bail. Tho little fel low was playing temptingly on the top of the water when till at once a ten pound trout struck him. A trout's mouth, you know, is very large and when he strikes, his gills are distended, and ns he grabbed up tho minnow, and was about to dose his big mouth the little fellow darted out through the trout's gills carrying .the hook with him. "The big fish's mate which was following close behind him 11 ml equally ns large as the first, saw the minnow as lie came through the gills of the fp t trout und so liu darted for tho bait and suc ceeded in swallowing minnow, hook mid all. “Of course, the line was through the mouth and gills of the first, trout ami he was even more secure than No. 2, so my friend played the pair for a few minutes und landed thorn both. "Tho two trout weighed nearly twenty pounds and I ate some of them for dinner," said Mr. En glish, us he wtlked away, leaving thu crowd to wonder at his admir able imagination.

DOUGLAS SCHOOL CLOSES TO-DAY Prof. Gull I 'ms Has Had a Successful Tear Is Doing Great Good In Coffee. Brof. J. M. Guilliams, principal of the South Georgia Normal school at. Douglas was In the city yesterday. His commencement exercises close with Gen. J. 11. Gor don's lecture “The Last Day of the Confederacy,” this afternoon. Rev. Mr. Oxford preached the commencement sermon Sunday. The exercises this year are very interesting and u large crowd is in sttendunce. Brof. tiiiilliiims bus been very successful, und the people aro much pleased with the work thul he has accomplished. lie has been u power for educa tion amt moral training in Coll'eo county und his school is becoming widely popular. "Anything, Lord." We do not luke stock in the practice of some enthusiastic friends of ull the candidates of declaring Hie candidate not of our choice to lie a rascal, a truiior, u hypocrite mid the like. We be lieve that every one of tho three candidates is uu honest mail and, if uleclud, would make thu best governor that under tho circum- Btuuccs lie would be able to make. All things considered, however, it is our firm belief that Mr. Guerry is much thu best equipped man of the throe. ft did not impress us as nt ull becoming in a man who had pub licly avowed his distaste for and his disapproval of "personalities” to publicly attribute to ono of his opponents the characteristies of the cuttle fish, but since ho has seen lit to do so, wo will venture to statu that, besides entertaining different views in regard to some public questions, our main objec tion to Mr. Terrell is, that he i» too much liko the jelly fish—he line to lie “kicked"jtotjj/Uiy time* to get iinythingC'Cift br Ihim. He depends too much on the ties of friendship and his winning per sonality rather than milking clear, specific, emphatic declaration of his belief in thu merits of issues upon the miiiisgcimmt of which depends much to the people of tho state. A limn who relies on a long and carefully planned “still hunt," must he afraid of the people, and a man who so judiciously hunts the big side is not a safe man tez depend upon when evils threuten the state aifil when tho actiou of the governor cun have such im portant liouring upon tho settle ment of questions of public policy. While there is much in Mr. Terrell’s personality to udmire, his conduct in this campaign bus savorod too much of the spirit of “anything, Lord, just so you will let me be govornor.”—Moultrie News. HOLDS III’ A CONGRESSMAN, “At the end of the campaign,** writes Champ Clark, Missouri’s brilliant congressman, “from overwork, nervous tension, loss of sleep and constant apeaking I had about utterly collapsed.
