The Survival of the Fittest.
WAYNESBORO, GA„ DEC. 22, 1900
There is nothing like the accura
cy with which a foreign bankrupt
duke or count locates the American
multi-million heiress.
Smith Clayton’s prose poem on
the “Lion of Lucerne”is worth com
mitting to memory. Wonder what
Mark Twain will say of it.
Mayor Woodward is to be pitied
He is doubtless in the hopeless
grasp of dypsomania. or be is dead
to the honor due from him to the
city of Atlanta
The creditors of Boni Castellane
in Paris are after the wife’s millions
for the sum of 20,000,000 francs
debts due them by the aforesaid
Boni. They have sued the trustees
that hold Gould money for her to
force payment on the ground that
she can own nothingafter marriage;
that “her’n’s his’n.”
Georgia has refused to disfran
chise the negro, but the Philadel
phia Press is under the impression
that this state has done so and in
spite of the history of the Hardwick
bill hurls satire at us for disfranchis
ing him. Well, to tell the plain
truth it is better to be a disfranchis
ed negro in Georgia than a disfran
chised Democrat in Philadelphia,
where one has no rights politically
that a Republican ever respects.
HAZING IS COWARDLY.
The hsziDg of youDg Booz at
West Foint, which caused his death
as it is said hy his parents, bring-
about an investigation by a com
mittee appointed by congress. Thu
usual cowardice of the act is very
clearly developed. A number of
hurly toughs calling themselves
gentiemen take a young man whom
they can abuse easily and act the
savage towards him. He dies after
wards. They deny killing him at
tho they treated him with cruelty
enough to kill him. There is yet to
be found an instance in which one
hazer goes by himself to do tho
hazing. This would be showing
courage.
THE LAST CHRISTMAS OF THIS CEN
TURY.
A few days more and tne last
Cnristmas of the 19th century will
come and then go troopiDg into the
eternal past along with its 1900 re
currences of the same event. It will
die and be forgotten, save where it
is impressed hy events that history
will record with sadness or with
more than ordinary pleasure con
ditions that make indellibie impres
sions on the heart of individuals or
nations.
The last hundred years it is com
puted have crowded into it (he
greatest strides ever made by man
in human progress. This is a ques
tion which the present age deems
endebatable. But it is hardly possi
ble to pass it without asking, how?
Has humanity shuffled off less of
its objectionable humanity and the
hearts of mankind grown more to
ward the golden rule than in any
previous century of years? The
true test hinges there and Christian
ity Is involved in the discussion.
Has the remembered and adored
life of the humble Nazarene lessen
ed the selfish part of humanity for
the good of humanity; and has its
advancement toward perfection of
heart made a milienial possibili
ty? There is a terrifi? argument
hurled at (he assumpiiou th?.t man
kind at heart better than it ever
was, and that is, the century ends In
a blaze of war and in blood, while
the mighty destroys the weak and
defenceless beings that God made
The destroyers and tyrants are
the Christian nations of earth.
Who can sit down to his Christ
mas dinner, the las* to be enjoyed n
this century »nd say the world is
Ailed with good wili toward all
mankind ?
Can the ereat queen of England
go to the royal feast of Christmas
ending the century, with no pnngs
of conscience when she remembers
, (hat Lord Kitchener is burning and
1 destroying the homes of the
! poor and defenseless Boers? Is it
! possible that she has an argument
; that pacifies her conscience and
eases her heart that all of this is
right and that it is Christianity ?
Think of the condition of the peo
ple of the South-African republic
in this hour of the holy Nativity!
Its little children, its women, its old
and defenseless ones with nothing
but death and desolation around
everywhere! Is there no cry from
the great heart of humanity agains
the suffering inflicted and this im-
measureable wrong? Here is the
test. There is none. The nations
of the earth nurturing Christianity
are dumb.
But come nearer home. What
of the guns that are daily at work
in the Philippines brutally destroy
ing human beings who ask only to
be let alone, but whom a great rt -
public has doomed to ruthless de
struction because they ask it.
The question is still, How has
it made sttrides? It has made them
in implements particularly imple
ments of destruction that the erue 1
human heart may glory in.
Yes,there have been many things
discovered and invented to tickle
the pride and arrogance of man, but
not one to soften the heart towards
each fellow being and make Chris
tianity the great intended boon that
was bequeathed from the cross on
C.valry.
Is this pessimism or a simple re
ply to the question, How? Has
science done ought to tone down
the asperites of our existence on
earth. May be it has in some cases
a few only.
The plagues rages and sicknes-
and death is always near ana man’,
days are the same in the land, no:
yet lengthened beyond the three
score years and ten
The means of enjoyment may he
multiplied but at last the presence
of the demon sin is ever with u-\
But let us hope that in any event we
are freer to combat wroDg and have
firmer grasp on moral conditions
with less of theory.
e Nashville
Bis Show.
The Nashville American has the
j following words of praise for the
GreOr^ia. ! J° hn Robinson’s big circus, which
exhibits in Waynesboro on Monday
| December 24 h,
“Another ideal circus to-day. Not
; only was the small boy in his ele
ment, but the old as well as the
young turned out and participated
| in the fun. The circus gave two
performances, in the afternoon and
! night, and the big tent was crowded
on both occasions.
“John Robinson’s Circus is one of
the best aggregations that has yet
showed in Nashville. The street
parade yesterday morning wa3 wit
nessed by thousands and pronounc
ed hy all good Early in the after
noon, the crowd began a western
course, and by the time the show
opened everybody and the dog was
there.
“Along PluDket avenue leading
to the show ground the venders of
fried fish, strawberry lemonade and
bananas held forth. They all were
given some patronage. Near the
big show the speilers of the side
shows in sonorous and stducliye
tones told of the tattooed man, the
snake charmer, fat lady, and other
drawing features on the inside.
“After entering the main tent the
menagerie was first. It was com
plete as to the varied and wonder
ful species of animal life. AM ot
I he beasts you read about were on
exhibition.
“However it was the show proper
that was deserving of especial men
tion. The performance was begun
with the spectacular. “Solomon
and Queen of Sheba.” In the bal
let fifty woman took part, and pre
sented a most acceptable feature.
After the grand pageant the regular
perlormance began in each of the
three rings. The clowns were on
hand and kept the crowd in a spirit
of jolly good humor.
“In the rings were the usual bare-
back riding, trained pigs, ponies
and a herd of Hagenback’s trainee 1
eiephants. There was leaping, thril
ling feats of mid-air artists; wire
walking, Japanese specialists, and
in fact, every feature which is sup
posed to constitute a first-class cir
cus. The Roman Hippodrome fol
lowed, with the exciting chariot and
horse racing.
“Of course, (here was a concert
after the show, in which a numbei
of vaudeville artists were introduc
ed and entertained the crowd. The
circus in ail of its parts was excel
lent and, as a whole, justly merited
the large patronage given by Nash
ville citizens.”
Among the tens of thousands who
have used Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy for colds, and la grippe
during the past few years, to our
knowledge, not a single case has re
sulted in pneumonia. Thos. Whit
field & Co., 240 Wabash aveuue.Cni-
cago, one of the most prominent re
tail druggist in that city, in speak
ing of this says: “We recommend
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy for
!a grippe in many cases, as it not
only gives prompt and complete re
covery, hut also counteracts any
tendency of la grippe to result in
pneumonia.” For sale by H B mc
