THE ATKINSON AND CLAY LETTERS
A Few of the Many Press Comments Upon
| Them.
The Atlanta Commercial remarks
that the late published letters from
Governor Atkinson and Mr. Clay,
chaiwwan of the state executive com
mittee, relating to the expression of
the people on the senatorial choice,
coming as they did, simultaneously,
“‘deserve more than passing notice.”
If Governor Atkinson and Chairman
Clay have been reading the newspapers
during the past week it has no doubt
appeared to them that their etters are
getting something more than ‘‘pass
ing notice.”” In passing, the news
paper throng seem to be noticing
them ‘‘gwine and coming.’”’—lbany
Herald.
Some have seen fit to criticies The
Herald’s stand upon the recent action ‘
'of Governor Atkinson and Chairman ‘
Clay,regarding the senatorial primary,
!saying by so doing we only furthered
‘the plans of the silverites. Now we
personally never favored the June pri
maries, but when the people were all
satisfied with them we dropped the
matter and only took it up again when
we saw what we believed, and still be
lieve, to be a deliberate plan to knife
Mr. Crisp. The Herald does not pro
pose to support, even by silence, any
underhanded and stabbing-in-the-back
schemes, no matter in whose interest
they are originated.—Americus Herald.
The Commercial is heartily sick of
guazy political schemes that are being
worked at the expense of the people,
whether they apply to senatorial or
other matters. We call upon the peo
ple to put their Ilisapproval upon this
late move on the part of the governor
and his friends. The people want
none of their advice, just now especial
ly, since Mr. Clay acquiesced in the ac
tion of the state committee leaving this
matter to the people.—Atlanta Com
mercial,
Gov. Atkinson, Chairman Clay and
Candidate dußignon are opposed to
voteing for senator on the 6th of June.
The vote is too early for dußignon’s
chances to defeat Crisp, and he thinks
delay would be beneficial to his ambi
tion for the senatorship. Gov. Atkinson
is a darkhorse senatoril candidate, and
hopes delay will put the plum within
his reach. Clay hankers after the
governorship. So the hopes of these
three are encireled by a wheel within
a wheel.—Perry Home Journal. :
Mr. Atkinson’s senatorial boom was
nothing less than a bomb laid for Mr.
Crisp—but the boys of the press have
stepped on the fuse.—Macon News.
AN ABLE ARGUMENT.
The Thief Did Not Believe In Equal Divi
sion When Revolvers Came In.
He bhad both bands in the air and
was looking into the barrel of a zevoly
ér, but he retained his presence of
mind. ;
‘I presume,”’ he said, ‘‘that you be
lieve in an equal distribution of proper
ty. 2
*“That’s wot,”” replied the highway
man as he began going through the vic
tim’s pockets.
‘I supposed so. That’s usnally the
way with men of your class, but you ar
gue from false premises. You try to
justify your actions’’—
““*Shut up!”’
““Oh, I'm not going to give you a lec
tare on your evil ways. In fact, I may
say that I am willing to accept your
theory of life temporarily.’’
““Well, shell out, then.”’
“Certainly, certainly, anything 1
have. But am Ito understand that yon
ingist ufion operating upon that theory:"’
The highwayman nodded, and the
victim deposited a bunch of keys, an
old silver watch and two nickels on the
{encepost beside which he was stand
ng. :
‘ 9‘That’s all I have,”’ hé Baid.
The highwayman gave an exclama
tion of disgust and pushed all the arti
cles off on to the sidewalk.
‘I ain’t robbin paupers,”’ he said.
““Of course not,’’ replied the victim
cheerily, ‘‘but this isn’t robbery, you
know. It’s the theory of equal division
of property. You get half of that stuff,
and I'll just take one of those handsoma
revolvers that you have. That’s fair
and right in line with your’’—
But the highwayman declined, and
he did it very roughly too.
‘“And yet,’’ said the victim as he put
the silver watch back in his pocket, “‘he
was the one who upheld the theory. It
only shows that these idealists don't
live up to their teachings when it comws
down to the stern realities of life.’’=—

HANDWRITING REVERSED,
The Peculiar Symptoms of a Massachusetts
Postmaster,
Drs. Richards and Gordon, of Quincy,
held a consultation Thursday over the
case of Postmaster Charles F. Wilde,
of Wallaston, which has been puzzling
the public during the past week, Afier
a careful diagnosis of the case, the phy
sicians decided that he was suffering
from congestion of the base of the brain,
and that the disease had been developing
during quite a long period. One pecul
iarity of his mental condition has been a
change in his method of writing. To
stead of wniting from left to right, as he
has previously been accustomed to do,
he has, since his sickness, when attempt
ing to write, reversed the style, and has
written backhanded, or from #gigat to
left. Thursday he wrote his name in
his ordinary manner, however, which {s
considered a striking sign of improve
ment of his condition by his physicians
and friends,--Boston Herald.

| FOR PROFIT AND PLEASURE,
Plant trees. Their shade is grateful to
man and beast; their beauty pleases the
the eye; the wind, sighing through ‘the
branches soothing to the soul. These
’ aesthetic advantages are cause enough
for planting trees, but for wood and tim
‘ber, and as conservers of water, trees
‘have great practical vaiue: Too many a
farm and village home is bleak and un
comfortable merely for want of a few
trees and a bit of shrubbery, and the
‘good wife makes pathetic efforts to have
it attractive by growing a few strug
gling flowers. Now, itjrequires only a
little effort at this season to change all
this; trees, shrubs and plants are cheap
or.can be propagated from the woods.
Send for the seed and nursery catalogues
of our advertisers, buy a few seeds and
plants, make a good garden for flowers,
small fruits and vegetables. Then let
come what xTy, you will have pleas
ure, health @And profit from this spot
at least. Every home with a bit of land
about it can be made *‘a thing of beauty
and a joy forever.” .
