THE NEWDS.
DAWSON, GA.
e
It is said that the title of coloael goes
begging in Virginia now. A respecta
able man won’t pick it up in the road.
The governor of Georgia has no mpre
influence in obtaining national legisla
tion than any the rest of us. Then why
so much demagogic discussion on that
line?
Harry Hill, Atlanta’s own festive Har.
ry, has been captured in Chicago again,
po dGoubt to the dismay of some of the
high-flyers in the modern society of our
capital city.
Staid old Macon surprises the country
with a sensation. Rabbi Farber has
been forging notes on the banks. His
congregation paid the notes and asked
for his resignation.
A “blind tiger” was unearthed the
other day in the basement of a church at
Starkesville, Miss,, and several jugs of
mountain dew were dug out directly
from beneath the pulpit. ;
Lewis Redwine, the ultra fashionable
dude and defaulting bank eashier of At
[anta, has been been carried to the gov
ernment penitentiary, where he will,
very likely, wear stipes instead of a full
dress suit for six years.
The Atkinson idea seems to be that
“‘the old soldier racket’’ is played out,
but some how or other the people have
an undying admiration for the men who
fanned the bullets out of their faces dur
ing the times that tried men’s souls.—
Savannah Press.
The Barnesville Gazette says it was
charged upon Mr. Atkinson that he was
in the famous combination in the legisla
gure in 1892, There is every reason to
believe that charge, and the people will
be slow to take hold of him in the gu
bernatorial contest.
The smallest taxpayer in Whitfleld
county lives at Hilton. He pays 5 cents
tax, and goes up to Dalton every year to
pay it. He owns a lot valued at 35, and
really his state and county tax is less
than 5 cents, but as 5 cents is the least
amonnt he could pay, he always pays his
taxes cheerfully. .
The Dalton Argus remarks that if we
could jus: get rid of congress, state leg
islatures, politics and politicians for a
few years (say ten or twenty) what a
prosperous pecple we would be! The
loafers would have to go to work, and
the people’s mbney would not be squan
dered on lazy good-for-naughts,
The Viiginia legislature has passed a
bill to relieve a Baltimore drummer
from the payment of a rine of $l,OOO im
posed on him by the county court of
Grayson county for having measies with
in ‘he county limits. The fine was
imposed under a law to punish persons
who carry into or spread a contagious
disease in the state. The drummer
claims he found the disease there. .
LIQUOR WITH A HISTORY. :
Some days since some hands on Mr. J.
P. Rockmore’s place, near Logansville. in
moving a decayed trunk of a large tiee,
made an interesting find. Imbedded in
the leaves and mcld was a flask partly
filled with a liquid which was found to
be whisky. The print of the leaves was
stamped upon the glass bottle, and the
cork was covered with earth mold.
The peculiar kind of flask led to in
quiry about the probable length of time
the bottle of whisky had lain in its hid
ing place.
An old citizen was positive that no
flasks of that description had been sold
at Logansville since the war, and the
time-corroded hottle seems to bear out
the reasonableness of the opinion that
the whisky had been under the log some |
thirty years. !
Wouldn’t an old toper enjoy that
bottle of rare old spirits?
A SHOT AT THE OLD SOLDIER.
The Hon. W. Y» Atkinson, who is a‘
candidate for governor of Georgia, has
issued an address to the people-of that
state, in which he says that the demand
for his candidacy comes from all classes
of people, but chiefly from those whe
are actuated less by sentimental impulse
than by a desire for practical and help
ful legislation; from those who, though
frugal and industrious, are struggling
under the burdep of financial depression,
and believe that it 1s in the power of the
government to bring relief by the relief
of those political reforms to which the
democracy stands committed.”
Wa do not know what the latter clause
of this rather formidable sentence means,
probably Mr. Atkinson himself could not
tell—but there is at least one sentiment
in his manifesto which should be, an
doubtless will be, repudiated by the peo
ple of Georgia. The ‘‘demand” for Mr.
Atkinson’s candidacy comes ‘“‘from all
classes of people, but chiefly from those
who are actuated less by sentimental
impulse than by a desire for practical,
helpful legislation.” As we understand
it this is a shot at Gen. Clement A. Ev
ans, who fought for Georgia during the
war and who has proved true to Georgia
since the war and who is running for
governor. The fact that he was a gal
lant soldier should not, in our opinion,
‘disqualify Gen. Evans for the office, but
this is evidently the key on which Mr.
Atkinson has pitched his campaign. We
do not think it will prove to be a winning
card in Georgia.—Charleston News and
Courier,
The News and Courier seems to have
sized up the situation correctly. Geor
gia is not a swate where the valiant ser
vices nf the old soldiers can be used as
an effective argument against their po
litical preferment. They are still allow
ed an equal showing with those who
have never smelled gunpowder. When
Mr. Atkinson observed that the demand
for his candidacy came from ‘‘all classes
of people,” he could not have meant the
old soldiers and those who are ifrue to
the traditions of the war. Had Mr At
kinson stated that the demand for his
candicacy came from the political slate
making contingent he might have come
nearer the mark,
. LIMITED MATRIMONY.
An interesting, yetextremely ridicu
lous, question has found its way into the
California courts. The poblems to be
solved in all seriousness by the court are
these: ‘‘ls a contract of marriage stip
ulated to expire at the end of six months
or a year a valid document? If the doc
ument be valid, is the limitation good?
Does the limitation invalidate the con
tract? Can the relation of the contract
ing parties be Jaid aside at the end of
the prescribed time? Would a child,
born after the limit had expired, and
were the contract not renewed, be a le
gitimate child?”’
It seems impossible that in this day
such a question should be seriously
raised, but as a matter of fact there has
developed among the California lawyers
some difference of opinion on the sub
ject.
Some six months ago Edward M. Elk
us and Lillie Mabnen, of San Francisc),
entered into a contract ‘‘to be married
for a pefiod of six months.” A few
days ago' they again repaired to a nota
ry’s office and caused a.second contract
to be drawn up for another six months.
The young couple maintain that they
| have the advice of good lawyers that the
icuntract is good. The situation is such
a novel one that several reputable law-
Iyers have persuaded the young people to
| permit the question to be submitted to a
{court of adjudication. Just how to get
'this before the court is the question.
; It can hardly be accomplished by di-
Evm'ce proceedings, and neither could it
;}w acegmplished by criminal process.
' Lawyers, however, declare that they
'will find a way of bringing the matter to
‘judicial’ notice in order that che ridicu
lous proposition may be setilelat once.
| Some of the best lawyers are employed
'in the matter. Many prominent citizens
~declare that it is aguinst pubiic policy
for such a question to be dignified by a
~doubt for any leagth of time. *On the
‘other hand, there are a few lawyers who
‘corsert to maintain the strict legality of
the terms of the limited contract,

A BRIGAND IN POLITICS.
Tha Notorious Tiburzi Voted For by Ane
archists of Rome.
We hear so much in this country of polit
ical brigandage, piracy and corruption that
it ought not to surprise us to read that in
the supplementary elections held recently
for members of the Ttalian chamber of depu
ties a number of anarchists in someof the
districts of Rome voted for Tiburzi, the
brigand, who has been hunted by the king’s

soldiers for years and has a price of $2,000
‘set on his head. The police arrested several
‘anarchists for distributing pamphlets in
favor of Tiburzi. ;
- Dominico Tiburzi is one of the three re
maining Italian brigandsof note, the others
being Ansuini and Fioravanti. Tiburzi was
a cowherd at Cellere. In 1872, when 25
years of age, for a highway robbery, extor
tion and murder, he was condemned to
penal servitude for life. In January, 1874,
he escaped from the salt mines of Corneto
Tarquina and has since eluded all efforts
to capture him. Between Civita Vecchia
and Grosseto, in the solitudes of the mac
chia, he has lived for 20 years, defying the
rewards offered by the authorities.
Tiburzi does not rob; he does not steal;
he does not harm any one. He levies taxes
after his own fashion. The wealthy of the
neizhboring districts pay him every month
a fixed contribution—money, wine, bread,
weapons and tobacco. In recompense he
guarantees the safety both of their lives
and of their property. In short, he acts as
a public guardian for them. The relations
between the bricand and the people are of
a most friendly description. The poor,
when destitute of food, come to Tiburzi.
He also gives them coin, with which he is
always well provided. The rich land own
ers pay most willingly the tax which brings
them an entire security for their rural
property.
But woe to the spy! Sooner or later the
hand of the brigand strikes him, and an
atrocions vengeance rouses the authorities
and convinces the unbelievers of the exist
ence of the legendary brigand. In this way
Tiburzi lives, In these 18 years of hiding
from justice Tiburzi had several compan
ions; but, less skillful or less fortunate than
he, they have all perished. The last were
Domenico Biagini and Luciano Fioravanti.
In 1889 the three together were surprised by
the carhineersy a sharp fight ensued; Bia
gini fell dead. The other two succeeded in
escaping, vowing vengeance.
They believed the spy was a certain Ra
phael Gabrielli, and a year later he was
murdered by Tiburzt and Fioravanti in the
presence of 50 persons.
Failingto catch the archbrigand, the gov
ernment last summer arrested and impris
oned 250 persons, including mayors, priests
and minor offieials, as his abettors. They
were tried and sentenced to short terms of
imprisonment and fines.

| JAPANESE CLANSMEN.
Sons Who Died to Avenge Their Fathers.
| The Forty-seven Ronins.
No crusader cf the west, no viking
of the ncrth, cherished a higher ideal
of loyalty and chivalry than the clans
’ men of old Japan; no Corsican more
ruthlessly handed down a feud from
generation to generation or exacted from
son and brother the execution of a
! sterner vendetta. The Satsuma men of
| today triumph in the fact that their
own gwords have avenged in this gen
eration the defeat inflicted on their fore
fathers in the year 1,600 by the Todu
gawa clan.
Legend and drama recount every day
to eager ears tho stories of sons who
died to avenge their fathers, clansmen
that they might slay the foemen who
had caused the death of their lord. The
tavorite heroes, who hold in popular
estimation the place assigned by us to
Robin Hood and his men, are the 47 rob
ins, a name given to men who have
lost their clanship.
Their lord was obliged to commit
hara kiri, or judicial suicide, for hav
ing within royal precincts drawn his
| sword on anoble who had insulted him,
‘ and these stanch vassals devoted them
l selves to the destruction of the insult
er, knowing assuredly that, having slain
’ him, they would be equally condemned
| to take their own lives.
| Still may be seen fresh incense sticks
burning before the graves of their lead
" er and his young son and visiting cards
| stuck into the little tablets above them
" as tokens of the respect in which they
are held by those who know their story
~and deplore their doom.
| Mr. Black records that at a review
of British troops in 1864 at Yokohama
a great daimio was watching with in
terest the maneuvers of their regiments
and baiteries of artillery stationed there.
' At the conclusion he was asked to al
low the escort of his retainers who had
accompanied him to go through their
drill and tactics, to which he readily
consented.
Turning to Sir Rutherford Alcock,
who was inspecting the troops, he proud
ly said:
“My retinue is small, and their tac
tics are not worthy of notice after what
| we have seen, but there is not one man
. among them who, it I say die, will not
- unhesitatingly sacrifice {is life at my
t command.’’—Nineteenth Century.
| Butler and Father Ryan.
When General Butler was in com
mand at New Orleans during the rebel
lion, he was informed that Father Ryan,
priest and poet, had been expressing
rebellious sentiments and had said he
would even refuse to hold funeral serv
ices for a dead Yankee. General Butler
sent for him in haste and began round
ly scolding him for expressing such
un-Christian and rebellious sentiments.
“‘General,”’ the wily priest answered,
‘‘you have been misinformed. I would
be pleased to conduct funeral services
for all the Yankee officers and men in
New Orleans.”’—San Francisco Argo
naut.
Wherein They Were Alike.
““My money bought those horses,”’
gaid the millionaire wife to her impe
eunious husband as the family turnout
drove up to the steps.
*“Yes; it bought me too.’’—Newport
