M
. SWELLDOM'S LATEST BREAK.
Two expert negrocake walk dancers,
Ada Walker and her husband, are be
iog lionized by the ultra fashionablee
of New York city. At a recentdinner
party, at which the performance of
this duskv couple was a leading feat
ure of the entertainment, one of the
swell aristocrate took the negro woman
jo his arms and waltzed with her
around the room, and the negro hus
band seized one of those dainty white
women and treated her to the same
hugging experience.
In the light of this nauseous event it
would appear that Colonel Watterson’s
excoriation of the metropolis’ four hun
dred is well deserved. New York
swelldom has on many previous occa
sions oversvepped the bounds of de
cency and self-resrect, but never has
it made such a wild play for disreputa
®le notoriety before. -Doubtless Ada
Walker and her husband now believe
themselves as good as the crowd which
entertained them, and in this conclu
sion they are eminently correct.
MILLIONAIRES IN THE SENATE.
There are twenty-six millionaires in
the United States senate—twenty-six
tooo many. When a man reaches this
stage of financial good fortune he feels
called upon to make a break for the
upper branch of congress, and he
usually gets there. Those in the
present sepate are Nelson W. Aldrich,
$5,000,000; Russell A. Alger, $20,000, -
000; Levi Ankeny, $10,000,000; Thomas
R. Bard, $2,000,000; William A. Clark,
$15,000,000; Chauncy M. Depew, $2,-
000,000; Jobn F. Dreyden, $2,500,000;
Stephen B. Elkins, $20,000,000; Marcus
A. Hanna, $10,000,000; John Kean, $5,-
©000,000; Thoras Kearos, $5,000,000;
Redfield Proctor, 810,000,000; Mathew
8. Quay, $2,000,000: Nathan B. Scott,
$4,000,000; George P. Wetmore, $2O,
000,000.
MEMORIAL DAY ON SUNDAY.
Memorial day, April 26th, comes on
Sunday this year, and the memorial
associations of Columbus and Ameri
- 18 have decided to have the usual
S'Jwrvices and ceremonies on that day.
No doubt the same course will be
adopted in some other places.
Heretofore considerable opposition
0 a Sunday observance of memorial
day has developed in some places, but
the general opinion seems to be that
the services are, or ought to be, quite
as solemn and impressive as those of
any burisal, and, therefore, there would
be no impropriety in holding them on
the Sabbath.
THE GEORGIA CHAUTAUQUA.
The fifteenth annual session of the
Georgia Chautauqua will be held at
Albany April 26 to May 3. Elaborate
preparations have been made for the
reception and entertainment of visit
ors, and & season of intellectual re
freshment and exhilaration is confi
dently promised those who attend.
The Chautauqua has gained for iwself
a widespread reputation, and at the
coming session the programme will be
an unusually attractive one. Attend
ance from south Georgia will probably
be the largest in the history of the in
stitution.
ANOTHER feud bhas found its way in
to the TJnited States senate. [he sen
ators of Arkansas are not on speaking
terms, and have been personal ene
mies for seventeen years. Senator
Berry declined to escort Senator-elect
Clark to the desk to be sworn in the
other day; and it is said Senator Clark
would have declined Senator Berry’s
escort if it had been made. All of
which shows that some senators are
not so big after all. They’re pretty
much like ordinary mortals.
THE special session of the United
States senate adjourned Thursday,
having completed the business for
which it was assembled by the presi
dent—the ratification of the Cuban
reciprocity and the canal treaties.
Senator Bacon succeeded 1n having an
important amendment to the former
treaty adopted, fixing a uniform reduc
tion of 30 per cent on American cotton
goods imported into Cuba.
AN Ohio paper having spoken pat’
ronizingly of Argentina as a ‘‘little
republic,”” the Hartford Courant po
litely educates it as follows: ‘‘There
are 41,000 square miles of Ohio; there
are 1,319,247 square miles of Argen
tina. That is to say, you could tuck
away 31 Ohios in the ‘little republic’
and then have considerably more than
room enough left for seven Connecti
cuts.”
A NEwW YORK lawyer is to get a fee
of $2,000,000 for unloading the Panama
canal upon this country. This inspires
some of us who would have taken the
job for one million, says the Macon
County Citizen. to wait and murmur
not—our time will come after awhile.
| Irissafe to say that the Houston
‘ county farmer who shipped a car load
Eof home-raised meat to Macon is not
i loaded down with mortgages and store
accounts. With plenty of meat and
j corn the farmer is the most independ
"ent man on the globe, and without
them he is at the mercy of the mer
‘cbanb and money lender.
THE desire for legislative appropria
tions to various movements—for in
stance, fairs and expositions—leads Ed
i-or Stovall of the Savannah Press,
himself a member of the legislatars,
to say: ‘‘By and by we shall need a
billion-dollar legislature to help outall
the appeals.”’
STATISTICS shcw the startling facts
that there are 60,000 young men in the
prisons of the different states undep
the {charge of crime, and that the
prosecution aad trial of our criminals
cost Bix hundred millions of dollars
every year. Is it true that the’ world
is growing better?
THERE is gall and gall, but the
quintesence of it is shown by the
bolters of the last two campaigns,
who are now assidiously talking of a
Bryan bolt. Itcan result in nothing
but to provoke a smile from sensible
peovle who have kept up with® pa.rt,y‘
affairs.
GOVERNOR TERRELL can turn out.
delegates with the ease and rapidity‘
that he can colonels. He is going to
add to his already enviable record onl
this line by appointing six hundred
to some sort of a convention that is to
be held in Atlanta.
THE Tifton Gazette has found it nec-1
essary to enlarge its size in order to
accommodate ItB growing business.‘
Editor Herring is making the Gazene‘
one of the best papers in the state. |
THE late congress cost the couutx'yl
$1,554,108,514.84. The Atlanta Journal I
thinks ‘‘the 84 cents was probably,
spent for the knock-out drops given]
the watch-dog of the treasury.” I
THE Sparta lshmaelite wants Sena
tor Bacon nowminated for vice-presi
dent. It is safe to say the senator
will not be a willing victim to such
, premature political death.
THE St. Louis Globe Democrat not,es‘
’ that preparatiog for the Worlds Fair
‘are progressing rapidly. The main
entrance has been located, and the
souvenir spoons are out.
THE people are very well satisfied
with the present way of electing
judges. A squeak from some politician
who is not, however, is occasionally
heard.
IT costs Unele Sam $£1,250,000 a vear
to run the weather bureau, notwith
‘stauding all the information which is
given gratis by the old inhabitants.
ALL classes are becoming infested
with the germ of strenuosity. Preach
er Williams puts those Savannah
judges on notice that he is built like a
| prize fighter.
It will be the duty of those six hun
dred delegates who are to be appointed
to attend a convention in Atlanta to
carry~full wallets and spend freely.
A WISCONSIN man has leased a
thousand acre farm to be used for rais

A GILANCE THROUGH GEORGIA.
—Mpr. Frank Summerour, one of the
largest and most prosperous fruit
growers of north Georgia, whose fruit
crop usually brings him $50,000, has
sold his prospect for a peach crop 0 a
citizen of Dalton for $5.00 |
—A¢t an election held in Smithville}

assured.
—The Jaskson Argus thinks if the

—A Quitman firm had an order a few
days ago for 100 pounds of home raised

two hams, which weighed 113 pounds,
with plenty more of the same sort left.

North Georyians Going West.
From the Marietta Journal.
On last Wednesday night there were
ninety persons, men, women and chil
dren, who came over the A. K. & N.
railroad from Union county, Ga.,
North Carolina and Tennessee en route
to Oklanoma, Texas, Indian Territory
and Missouri. They boarded the
northbound passenger of the W. & A.,
and had trunks and valises enough to
fill a coach. Some of them were leay
ing unsold farms to try their fortunes
in the west. The restless tide of
humanity comes and goes. The ‘‘good
ly lana,” the happy time, is justahead.

Dr. Talmage’s Church Is Scene of a Wed
ding Which Stirs Up the Congregation.
The members of the First Presby
'herian church of Washington, formerly
presided over by the Rev. . Dewitt
‘Talmage, are very much exercised
over the marriage there last week of a
necrc and white woman.
The parties to the ceremony, which
took plaee in the rector’s study and
was pertormed by Rev. Dr. Donald C.
McLeod, are Henry Thomas, colored,
and Elizabeth I. Lundgrew, a Swede,
both of Baltimore.
The only witness to the ceremony
was the janitor.
| When seen and asked about
It,he matter, which is provoking
a great deal of talk in the aristoratic
congregation of the church, Dr. Mec-
Leod said that he was sorry he had
performed the ceremopy, as he had no
idea it would have occasioned so much
gossip. The negro, he added, was al
most white. \
There is no law in the District of
Columbia against miscegenation.
| Advice from a Colored Farmer.
From the Miller County Liberal.
An influential colored man among
his race spoke in the court house here
Saturday. He bears the name of D.
Moses and lives in-Early county, where
he runs fourteen plows.
He advised the members of his racel
to keep their contracts better, and to
educate their hands before educating
their minds.
He reminded his hearers of the fact
that the best white people of the south
are always willing to show worthy
negroes favors.
The talk was well received, and was
along the right line. |
Troubles of Tax Dodgers.
From the Philadelphia North American.
One of New York's millionaire tax
dodgers eseaped this year by swearing
to residence in San Francisco. I.ast
vear the same person dodged San
Francisco’s tax collector by swearing
to residencein New York. Birds have
their nests and foxes their holes, but
the tax-hunted millionaire has not
where to lay his head.
*“One Like Washington.”
From the Ft. Gaines Sentinel.
The Sentinel heartily seconds the
motion of the Macon Telegraph for a
southern man for president. What's
the matter with Jim Griggs for the
man? He would make us a president
what is a president—one like Wash
iigton or Jackson.
Beware of Ointments for Catarrh That
Contain Mercury,
as mercury will surely destroy the sense of
smell and eompletely derange the whole system
when entering it through the mucous surfaces.
Such artickes should never be used except on pre=
scriptions from reputable physicians, as the dames
agze they do is ten fold to the good you ean DOSSi=
bly derive from them. Hall's Catarrh Cure, man~
ufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.. Toledo.O.,
contains no mercury and is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and mucous surs
faces of the system. In buying Hall's Catarrh
Cure be sure you get the genuine. It is takep
internally and made in Toledo, 0., by F. J. Che
ney & Co. Testimonials free.
Sold by D.ruguisxs. Price 752 per bottle,
