DO 10U REMEMBER? |
BY LYDIA F. HINMAN.
Do you remember, Paul.
The walks we used to take
Inevening’s twilight,calm and sweet
Through woodland mead, and
brake ?
The stars would watch oua steps,
The blooms nod by the way,
And birls would tiill their “‘good
night” songs,
As fell the shadows gray.
Do you forget that eve,
You took within your own
My hand, and told me of your love
Your eyes with worship shone ;
My heart was filled with joy,
When you pressed love's first kiss
Upon my lips. T wonder, Paul,
If you remember this.
Do you remember, Paul—
So far away to me
It seems—anc tender eve you led
Me over moor and lea
Unto a little cot
Within a quiet glen,
Tiat some sweet day would be
‘‘our own,”
And, oh, you kissed me then,
And pressed me to your heart.
You loved me, Paul, but yet—
It seemsso strange to me,so strange,
‘That men so sood forget.
O’er wood, and lea, and fen,
1 wandered, Paul, to~day,
Along the same old moss-lined paths
Our footsteps used to stray
So long ago. Within
The glen yet stands the home
That we called “ours” the eve we
stood
Withiun its tender gloam,
You sat beside the door,
And she sang sweet and low,
Just as I pictured we would 't
And sing, so long ago.
My child, vou give the draught
I asked, and praise her face;
But there was no familiar line
On my own, you could trace,
Aye, time will have Lis play ;
And he can change us ull;
An he changed all my future years
When he changed your ncart,Puul.
My home is beaut.wil,
And fitled with song and clee,
You live afor, within the cot
Once built for you and ine;
But with my loving ones
My cup is sweet—and yet
Sometimes, 1 think I'd like to know
If you, Paul, quite forzet.
HOW EDGER POE DIED,
I |
One of the Men Who was Drugged
With Him Tells the Story.
New York Star,
No American poet has attracted
more actention, living or dead, than
Edger A. Poe, Nine lives of him
have been written,yet about no cele
brated writer of moderu times has
it been so difficult to get the real |
facts of his life and death, Accord
ing to some of his biographies, he
mingled among men like a bewilder
ed angel, while others described him
as a yiping fierd or an Ishmaelite,
with his hand against everyone and
everyone’s against him. The time
and place of his birth were for
many years uncertain; even now
sor.e ot his biographers still differ
as to that matter. The place of
his burial wasat one time undecid
ed, but that was definitely settled
in 1875, when his remains were dis
covered in Westminister Church
yard, Baltimore, and a monument
‘seven feet six inches high erected
over his grave. The cause of his
‘ death and the circumstances attend
ing it have nor yet been definitely
determined, and everything that
throws any light on the subject will |
prove interesting to his many ad
mirers. l
A former Baltimorean, now livs
sng in San Fravcico, gives what
he claims to be a true account of
the poet’s last days and death- This |
is hia Story : “I war intimately ac
quainted with Edgar Allen Poe for
| years, Mucnh that has been said
! and writen in regard w his death is
| false, I 3 habitual resort i Bals
, timore was the Widow Mesgher's
| place, This was an oyster stand
and lguer bar ou the sty front,
i eorresponding in some respect with
- the coffee house ot San Francisen,
| It was frequented much by prin—
"ters, and ranked as a respectable
' place, where parties could enjoy a
DAWSON, GA., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1889,
game of cards or engage in social
conversation. « Poe wasa great fa— 1
vorite with the old woman. The
favorite seat of poet was just be-—-l
hind the stand, and he was just |
about as quiet and sociable as ani
oyster himselt. He went by the |
name of Bard, and when parties
came into the shop it was, ‘Bard,
come up and take a nip, or ‘Bard,
come up and take ahand in the
game.” Whenever the Widow Mea
gher met with an accident or idea
that tickled her fancy. Poe always
complied, writting a witty couplet,
and at times poems of some length.
These verses, quite as meritorionsas
some by which his name was immor- '
talized, were thus frittered into ob
scurity. It was in this littie shop, ‘
that Poe’s attention was called to
an advertisement in a Philadelphia
paper for a prize for the best story,
and it was there that he wrote his
tamous ‘Gold Bug,’” which carried
off the 100 prize.
“Poe had been shiftiag for many
sears between Baltimore, Philadel
pera aud New York. He had been
away from Baltimore for three or
four mouths, when he turned up
one evennimg at the Widow Meas
gher's. I was there when he came
in, He privately told me that he
had becn to Richmond, and was on
his way North to get ready for his
wedding. It was drink all around
and repeat until the crowd was pret
ty full. It wasghe night before ele
ction, and four of us, including Poe,
started up: We had not gone half
a dozen squares when we were nab~
bod for voters to *cook”’ It was the
practice in those days to seize p(!fl
ple, whether drunk or sober. lock
them up until the polls were opened, :
ard then march them around to
every preceint, where they \\'erc;
made to vote the ticket of the party
that contiolled the ‘coop’ Our coop
was in the rear of an engine house
on Culver strect. It was part of
the ganie te stupify the prisoners
with drugged liquor. Well, the
next duy we were voted at thirty
ane difierent places, and over and
over, it heing as much as a man's
life was worth to rebel. Poe tvus
50 badly drugged that, after he was
carried on two or three different
rounds, the gang said it was no use
to vote a dead man any longer, so
they shoved him into a cab and sent
him toa hospital to get him out of
the way.
“The commonly saccepted story
that Poe died from eflects of dissipa
tion is all bosh, It was nothing of
the kind. e died from laudanum
or some other poison that was fore
ed upon him in the coop. He was
in a dying condition when being
voted around the city. The story
told by Griswold of Poe's having
been on a week’s spree and being
picked up on the street, is false, 1
saw him shoved into the cab myself,
and he told me he had just arrived
in the city.”
The above narrative will form
ao interesting chapter of the life
aud death ot the puet, whose life
was a romance and whose death was
a tragedy. The aceount ot Poe's
fast days agrees in several respects
with the account which the late
Cheit Justice Nelson Poe ot Baltie
more give the undersigned. Itis
painful to think a man ot Poe’swon
derful genius would, after a life of
fntolerable misery dieiu the wretch
ed manner above described. Bnt
it must be ndmitted that the author
of “The Raven” was éoopql and
dragged to death by political
thougats,
A new andge is heing practiced
by tramps in soliciting aid to get
home or begging for food or lodg
ing. It is ealled the “scald vitrol
game,’ and the beggar tramp exhib

truth is the wrists are not sealded,
Some chemien) preparation is appli

THE ALLIANCE EXPLAINS.
The Official Organ of the Alliance
* Talks of the Jackson Business.
The last issueof the Southern
Alliance fully explains the cause
which led to the resignation of Pres
ident Robert H Jackson, of the
State Alliance.
In a Jong letter to the editor of
the Alliance, Mr. Jackson quotes
this paragraph from a previous
copy of the Alliance: |
‘Take for example the county
which pays no stock into the ex
change. This county will have all
the rights of voting on business per
taining to the exchange that couns
ties have which have paid in their
full amount as assessed under the
schedule of ability.” :
Replying to this, Mr. Jackson
Bays:
‘Now, if the above was true you
would be right, but we are not
working on the assessment plan,
The original T'exas plan was an ass
sessment, but we changed that plan
and made it a Sub-Alliance plan,
so that all could be interested aund
benefitted.
Mr. Jackson illustrated his point
in this way :
Now ror an example, if Pinewood
sub alliance has one hundred mems
bers, and only one member can
pay our pro rata share, still the
lodge represented in the exchange,
and all of its members, ninety-nine
poor and one rich member, share
alike in the benefits of the exchange.
In this way by the transaction of
their business, making the exchange
the exchange of the Farmer’s Allis
ance of Georgia and every member
having the same privilege. Speak
ing the same things, bound togeth
er under the same charter rights,
co operating together. |
Now, Mr. Editor, according to
vour expression none will share the
benefitz of the exchange oxvoptt
those who pry in their money. An|
exchurge orginized! a nonopoly to.
benefit a fow; ercated to he:efit nhc{
. v |
rich and dowa the many. Now, I‘
say, let the working of the ex+
change be so constructed as to ben-!
efit every member of the order, und‘
if we do not, then, in my opinion, |
it will fall of its own weight. I‘
know that we have talent and mon
ey enough to establish just what we ‘
need. All that is mecessary is to
identify our people aund let them
see that it is to their interest, and |
then we will have no trouble about
the money. Please do away with
the idea of assessment and subs!i
tute subsalliance, and when every
sub-alliance takes an interest we
will have avery member interested
instead of the few, and then the
grand mission of the order will
work like a charm. I will never
be content till we have a working
exchange, and that, too, for the
benefit of every man, woman and
child in the state,
This seems to be Mr. Jackson’s
ultimatum.
In the rame issne the Southern
Alliance comes back at Mr, Jack
son editerially in this spiey style:
President Jackson does not obs
ject to the establishment of astate
exchange, so he saysin his previcus
letter, &ut he dues object to the plan
upon which the Georgin exchangze
it is to be conducted: We like the
])lun because it is a plan that exact
y #uits the people who pay in the
funds to run the institution A plan
that is agreeable to the people who
own an enterprise isalways agreea
ble to us. Ib other words,we never
put our judgment against that of an
entire state, say they aro all wrong
ond weareright. Modesty if noths
mg else, would forbid. ~Now we
would like to ask the question,how
many men Alliancemen, we mean
‘object to the plan? Every one is
pleased with the plan so tar as we
know. We have heard of noobs
jections to the j)lan from any one
except Brother Juckson. W e subs
mitted the plan to C, W. ¥ acune,
pregident of the National Alliance,
and he pronounced it the best plan
he had seen. In factit is a good
plan, a plan wrought out by the
| talent of Georgia’s tarmers, and in
| the face of all this Brother Juckson
feels that the people ought to fit up
l an oflice in Atlanta and have him
buy guano for them,theylpaying nim
five cents ll{)ie('f‘, etz. Probably
this explains hus dislike for the plan
‘adoptcd by the state alliance. It
does not let President Jackson run
the machinery,hence the whole plan
is a failure. Now, Brother Jeuck
son, you ought to be liberal; like
ourselves, and tell the good people
you wish no position in the exs
crange and have no ax to grind,
‘Then sore disappointmpet will not
prey upon your mind.
In the same issue of the Alhans
ce, following the letter and the ed
itorial, is the resigoation of Mr.
Jackson and its aceeptance by the
judiciary committee of the I"armers’
Aliiance of Georgia.
A Pat Story.
Philadelphia Times.]
The day after the national elec
tion Senator Blackburn and Rep
resentative Allen of Mississippi—a
man who is described by the Ken
tucky Senator as the wittiest and
loneliest looking man he has ever
met—were together in the capitol
building when they were approach
ed by young Editor Hearst, who
excitedly showed them a telegram
from his father, the California Sens<
ator. The message ran in this
WaY:
“As bore as there is a God in
heaven Grover Cleveland has car
ried California.”
At that time it was well known
that New York state had been car
ried by Harrison, and it made no
earthly difference what the voters
of California had determined their
verdict should be. Allen read the
telegram, and then handing it back
to the San Francisco editor, and
said to him solemnly :
‘Young man,your tather’s words re
mind us of an acquaintance of mine
who went out to Colorado and was
thrown from a bronco pony and
killed, ¥is companions sent this
telegraphic message to his widow :
“Jim has been thrown by a bron
coand his neck, both legs and one
arm are broken.”
Several hours later he sent the
widow this additional telegraphic

arm was not broken.” 2
Doing Good, |
St. Louis Globe-Democrat. ]
‘There,’ said a neighbor, point—
ing to a village carpenter, ‘there is
a man who has done more good, 1
really believe, in this community
than any other person who ever
livedin it. He cannot talk very
much in publie, and he does not
try. He is not worth §2,000, and
it is very little he can put down on
subseription papers. But a new
family never moves into the village
that he does not find it out and
give them a neighborly welcome
and offer them some service.
He is on the lookout to give
strangers a seat in his pew at
church. He is always ready to
watch with a sick neighbor and
look after his affairs for him, I
believe he and his wife keep house
plants in winter mainly that they
may be able to sgend bouquets to
friends and invalids, He finds
time for a pleasant word to every
child he meets, and you'll always
see them climbing into his one
horse wagon when he has no other
load. He has a genius for helping
folks, and it does me good to meet
him in the streets.’
Bird Civil Engineering.
A New York paper speaks of a
couple of orioles that have built a
nest in a treeat Central Park. In
order that no animal able to climb
a tree might reach their nest, theyl
built at the extreme end of a light
branch. When the work was half
done they saw that the little house
was bending the branch so far to
ward the earth that when full of
young ones it would be too near
the ground. They sat on the branch
studying their house for a time,and
then flew off in search of a string.
They found gome twine in the park,
and with it wunited the two elastic
boughs to a branch overhead, res
suming their nest building afier the
string had been firmly woven—
There were brains in that engiceers

"The South Moves,
A newspaper correspondent’.dfi“
seribing the decay of the whaling
industry in such towns as New
Bedford, remarks that altbough
the old whaling vessels are rotting
at their docks, the Wamsutta mills,
a few blocks away, aie rattling
along with surprising liveliness,
showing that for what seems to be
lost, something 1s won, or, rather
that something more modern and
profitable has taken its place.
The correspondent proceeds to
moralize somewhat over this condi
tion of affairs, and concludes by
saying that in spite of _the old es
tablished property, the Wamsutta
mills, ‘I find myself sleeping.exg
ry itight Wigler a blanket which
says on the margin: “Columbus,
Georgia.”
This seems to strike the corress
pondent as something extremely
odd, and yet he does not comment
on it unpleasantly. To put souths
ern blankets on northern bead
steads is quitea feat, all things cor
sidered, aud yet this is not the only
feat the south is performing ot late.
It is doing a great many. things
that do not zome to the ears of the
publie through the newspapers. Tt
is true that something has been
gaid in print about the way that
coarse southern goods arve pushing
the eastern goods out of the mark
ets, but nothing approaching the
truth has been told. The infors
mation the newspapers give
is merely a hint—an inkling—of
the facts,
The trath is, the south is making
bigger strides in the way of indus
trial development than has ever
betcre been made by any section
on the face of the earth in the same
length of time; and it is now going
nhead with the intention of beatiny
its owa record.
While the politiciars have beemr
snarling and disputing, the south
has been at work, and all that New
England is Josing day by day the
south is gaining and .uaking the
most of. ""he gain in population
has not been conspicuously large,
perhaps, bat the the population we
already have here has found abund

Light on the Hawes Tragedy
Tho Birmingham Ages Herald
yesterday morning published to the
world the most important evidence
in the Hawes case that has ever been
made publish. A special detective
und a reporter from a fuint clue
have followed 1800 :niles and cap=
tured an eye witness,or at least one
who knows an eye witness to the
tragedy. The veryimportant wit«
ness is a nephew of Fannie Bryant,
the negro woman, and claims that
his brother Robert saw Hawes and
their aunt, Fannie Bryaot, kill
Hewes' wife. Whether the prise
oner is the brother wanted or the
other brother iz not known, but ows
ing to the Age~-Herald the case rests
no longer on circumstantial evidens
ce. There was an eye witness and
it now remains with proper author~
ities to produce him.
During the excitement that attends
ed the Hawes tragedy the Age-
Herald conducted itsels in such a
manner as to merit general admirs
ation, and it is hardly probable that
the story it published yesterday was
seusational. If the story is true
a 8 narrated, the Age-Herald has
done much toward clearing up the
mystery which surrounds one of the
“most horrible tragedies ever records

How little we are apt to appreciate that whidhy
we possess. The hardy wood-sawyer envies the
wealth of his employer. The rich man eavies the
health aad strength of his poor neigibor,
“Our mind and our time we employ
Ini longing for what we have not,*
Unmindful of what we enjoy.”
Fow mtch better if all exerted themselves o ob»
tain their heart’s longing. If poor i purse seek t
gain wealth by industrious and frugal habits, I
poor in health seek to use those remedies which ase
