lie me Citizen. The Survival of the Fittest. WAYNESBORO, GA„ JULY 13, ISO!. How about sunspols; been any lately ? has there Did anybody ever take Hon. C. Depew seriously ? Quere Kaiser Wilhelm instructs his son to look up to no one but “Me und Gott.” Theieporthas escaped confine ment that the famous senator from Pennsylvania is a very taking fel low. Are the wars still over in the Philippines and South Africa? Havn’t heard of anybody’s moving them. Senators Tillman and McLaurin are still manoeuvring for positions in the battle that is ahead for the demagog-ridden state of South Car olina. If Gen. Daniel E. Sickles and Count Von Waldersee could bo tethered together two of the most harmless old blatherskites would bo companions that the world could furnish. Dawes, one of the Republican “old guard” has resigned, which it is said never happens, except in death. Those who are surprised at this will please haul in their aston ishment. The controller of the cur rency only resigns to go home and get a betUr job-he is promised the senaforship from Illinois Charbon, a terrible cattle disease, is killing hundreds of cattle in some parts of Mississippi. It ought to he carefully watched. The fearful malady spreads rspidly and few cattle escape that come in contact with it. It is the duty of every state to quarantine severely against it, and destroy by burning if possible bodies that are dead from charbon It does uot confine itself to cows Horses, muies and hogs fall by it and when man comes too much in contact with it he takes it ana death is almost as certain as bubonic plague. No remedy has yet been discovered to arrest its ravages. There is not a nation on earth where jingoism is complained of more than in England, but the com plaint resembles pretty much the devil inveighing against sin. It is ail jingo. Well, the truth must be told; he invaded England with a well cur ried race horse and won the Derby. That settles it. Pierre Lorrillaro’ died a great man, without holding up a train or endowing a Scotch university. It Is rumored that Chili is forti fying the straights of Magellan.This will cause a lot of talk with that bumptious strip of land along the Pacific coast of South America. In this conversazione many nations will take a part. The last hot spell seems to have broken all records in the number of deaths from sunstroke. There has been also an unprecedented number of thunder storms which after all may be a kind of safety valve in changing temperatures. If one is disposed to take the trouble to look, the planet Jupiter with his moons are seen early in the evening in the East. The moons of this resplendent star are not vis ible to the naked eye but may be found easily with an opera or field glass. GEORGIA'S GIFT TO HER. VETERANS. The Soldier’s Home so far proves a great blessing to the old veteran, who in his last days, unable to maintain himself, finds a safe re treat and comforts to relieve hie wants as he moves along toward the sunset of life. It is sad to think how many of the brave, suffering old fellows have been denied these blessings and have closed their eyes in suffering and want in the last ten years while the Home,built for their happiness, was denied them and was passing on to decay. There are now about 55 occupants and others are coming in constantly. Every applicant should eet a form from the ordinary, which has been furnished, and strictly comply with its requirements. It will save time, trouble aDd postage. H1LLIS HAPPENINGS. REDUCED RATES. A COLLISION. Ihere is no denying the fact that American inventive genius is with out a stopping place. A Western yankee has recently contrived very simple machine to keep the ashes from falling off one’s cigar Now the country editors, after hav ing lighted his 50-cent Havanna with a twenty-doliar gold certifi cate, can loll in his luxurious chair and awake to find the flavor still unimpaired, the ashes in place hold ing the fire, all at the same time. After reconstruction days had passed and Georgia had come to her own In the defeat of the Bul lock gang of scoundrels that threat ened to wreck law and order and bankrupt the state, all things went on swimmingly for a while. But corruption seemed to stick and fi nally the legislature of 1878 and 1879 c'eared the atmosphere by im peaching those who had turned rob bers. Since that day Georgia has lead the Union in the cleanness of its administrations. All rascality was retired and honesty took the reins in hand. It is discovered since the death of onePierreLorillard that a great man has died. He was not found to be great because he was r 1ways “up to snuff;” nor did he claim over Samp son that he destroyed the Spanish fleet at Santiago bay; nor ever said he wrote "Beautiful Snow,” “All Quiet Along the Potomac,” or any such, wanting putative fatherhood. The papers have been full of his greatness this last week; yet he did not break the bank at Monte Cario, nor the Seventh National, of New York City. He could not have been great bydy ; ng rich and mak ing himself infamous, according to Carnegie; yet he was a great Araer ican deceased. On The Wadley & Mt. Vernon Railway One Mile From Adrian The Passenger Engine Was Completely Destroyed by a Switch Engine Carelessly Handled— No One Seriously Injured. Adrian, Ga., July 10th, 1901.— (Special to The Citizen.) - Yester day afternoon as the passenger train on the Wadley & Mt. Vernon road had crossed the Ohoopy river, which is in one mile of here, was going to the river for water. The engines meet at this point very often, but, on this occasion as the Wadley & sit. Vernon train neared the river, it blew for signals as usual, but getting no answer, pre sumed the track clear, but as soon as it had crossed. Math Dukes, the engineer on the vVadley & Mt. Ver non, saw the yard engine coming at a high rate of speed. He (Dukes) at once, shut off steam and reversed his lever, and biew for signals again but Johnson, engineer on the other engine paid no attention, until lie was in about fifty yards of the oth er, then he shut off the steam and leaped from his engine. Both en gines were torn to pieces, some flat cars badly damaged, but fortunate ly no one was seriously hurt. The passengers were saved by several flat cars being between the engine and coaches. Johnston was discharged and will be prosecuted for using his en gine carelessly. looking The interrogative conversation and the shake, tremolo song con tinue to occupy places in polite so ciety. Rather curious growths. "We confess to feeling in sympa thy with old Dan Emmett, the au thor of the popular ‘D xie,’ when he says: •“I can not believe that Dixie,’ my dear old ‘Dixie,’ is lost. I believe it will survive the present revolution In southern sentiment and mean again to the South what it did in days gone by -nh u o it thrilled the ‘boys in gra>’ in victory and cheer ed them in defeat. “ ‘But if my dear old song is dying, I hope it will survive myself, its aged composer, for lam slowly but surely passing away. I hope that ‘Dixie’ will live in the hearts of the southern people long after ‘Uncle Dan’ is dead and forgotten.’ “ ‘Dixie’ will stir generations yet unbornA tlanta Constitution. Lawtonville. Correspondence Citizen. July 11th,—Crops are somewhat better. Mrs. Martha Perry returned to Waynesboro last Tuesday after vis iting friends at this place.

Mr. Ed. Lovett, who has been trying farm life here for several months, left last week tor his home in Dublin. After spending several days with homefolks, he expects to go to Emory College, where he will take a summer course in oratory, which will be followed by a law course, very probably, at the Uni versity of Georg'a. Mr. Lovett made many friends while here, who were loath to give him up; but beiDg a bright and ambitious young man, we are not surprised that he seeks less gloomier, but not “green er” spheres than the “bay fields” of Burke and Screven. Hon. W. J. Herrington spent the first of the week in Augusta. He made a statistical report to the Agri cultural Department last week, in which he reported the condition and prospects of the general crop in this section at 50%. Mr. Herring ton being a large and successful farmer it will be interesting, yet discouraging, to note his estimate. Mr. G. M. Chandler celebrated his fitiy-fifth anniversary Monday. There were several members of the immediate family present. After partaking of a most bouutiful repast and rehearsing many pleasant re membrances of “old timep,” each, upon departing extended best wish es for many happy returns. Mrs. Jno J. Chandler, of Sa r dis,is visiting her mother. Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Lovett com plimented several of their friends with an ‘‘outing” at Mill Haven,last week.

Miss Josie Parnell leaves Sunday to resume her school duties at Hab ersham. Dr. and Mrs. Frank Mims are happy over the arrival at their home of a young doctor, of few days experience. To the former we extend congratulations and i compliment the profession upon its recent acquisition. Atticus Herrington is home for vacation, after a years’ stay at Em ory College. He acquitted himself most creditably, having secured a speakers’ place and won a scholar ship for ensuing year, which is a high compliment for one so young, though not a surprise to those who know him. Rev. S. B. Adams, of Sylvania, filled Rev. McCullogh’s appoint ment at Brick church Sunday, the latter having been away on a visit to relatives in Atlanta. Our telephone system is not yet in operation. There is another long delay, in progress of work, on ac count of ’phones not having arrived We do not know the cause, but sup pose our president has used some more of that chirograpby, which so easy to misinterpret. Sometime ago he ordered insulators and re ceived a barrel of cow chains. In stead of ’phones, possibly a “carload of kine-”has been received and plac ed on refused list. Yet, we are con fideut, and unwilling yet to consign the line to our list of “jokes,” com posed of the oil mill and railroad. Dr. Byron Daniel expects to take a post graduate course at Columbia University, New York, this fall “provided .” Another interesting estimate of the condition of crops in this sec tion gained from the oral advertise ment of one of our heretofore sue cessful farmers which runs Southern Railway Announces Reduced Rates As Followers.
