The Survival of the Fittest.
WAYNESBORO. OA.. AUGUST 24,1901.
Clara Morris writes aS well slie
acta. What more flattering to ht-i
literary skill could be said!
The elevator in the Washington
monument ascends 498 feet. The
monument is yet about 40 feet high
er.
The LaGrange Graphic think?
Col. Estill can not hold a candle to
Joe Terrell in the gubernatorial
race.
The inhabitants of the United
States and Great Britain consume
more sugar than any other people
per capita.
When the courts do their duty
and punish crime at once the peo
p!e do not in the South resort to the
savagery of lynch law.
Sampson has gotten leave to go
to England for the double purpose
perhaps of being among “gentle
men” and to be able to prove anoth
er alibi. Mr. Dooiy says Sampson
lias them.
The great strike of north
ern labor has not materially effest
ed the South. So far, so good. The
manufacturers of the South will be
wise to keep the status ot labor
when the North cannot compete.
Actual experiment has demon
strated that the bite of mosquitoes
will communicate diseases of mala
rial types. Yellow' fever wa9 actu
ally contracted from the bite of a
mosquito outside of yellow fever
district and the man died ol vomito
negro.
In 30 years the steam railway en
gines of the Baldwin Locomotive
Works have increased from 12 tons
to over 100 tons weight. This is a
fair index of the constantly increas
ing demand for power to move the
commerce of the world.On the ocean
the increase of power to move the
immense vessels ot to-day has kept
pace with the locomotive power cf
the shore.
Uncle Sam has his weather eye
on South American land. If Vene
zuela knocks the chip off his shoul
der off goes a slice of her territory
to pay for the insult. If Columbia
gets Oom Sam’s aid against Vene
zuela off goes a slice of its dirt to
pay for that. Sam may as wmll have
it as the mongrel bandits that are
forever quareling over it; no mat
ter if by force of arms.
The great strorm of last week
was destructive both of life and
property. After it came fairly in
land for nine days it poured inces
sant rains along ibe mountain dis
tricts of Georgia, Tennessee and
North Carolina, swelling streams
and destroying the railway beds
Crops have everywhere it touched
been more or less injured. Along
the Gulf coast the damage to ship
ping was tremendous.
Poor old man Kruger! His faith
is sublime! With ail the odfls that
are in favor of the British he still
believes that God will interfere in
behalf of his people and that heay-
en will give (hem justice in the end
On the other hand the British are
like Napoleon, trusting in the heav
iest battalions and (.he greatest
number of cannon, forgetting that
Providence ever meddles with the
affairs of men-
Max O’Rell who seems to be the
champion of the real woman is not
one for the new’ woman. Of the
latter he says:
“The Anglo-Saxon new woman is
the most ridiculous production of
modern times, and destined to be
the most ghastly failure of the cen
tury. She Is^gt excellence the wo
man with a grievance and self-lab
eled the greatest nuisance of mod
ern society. She wants to retain all
the privileges of her sex, and secure
besides all those of a man; she
wants to be a man and remain a
wcman. She will fall to become a
man, but she may succeed in ceas
ing to be a woman.”
A row has arisin in very religious
Brooklyn, N. Y., in a very quiet and
respectable neighborhood of that
very charitable and proper city be
cause a negro, w’ell behaved and
quite respectable,rented a house ad
joining some of these tony white
folks. The pater familias of ti e
colored family proposes to hold on
till his term of rent expires a year
hence, and the landlord Is nearly
destracted on account of his unfor
tunate “break” in Brooklyn propri
ety. It is well enough to let our
negro folks of the South know that
they occupy tw’o places in the breast
of the average northern philanthro
pist, admiration at a distance but
disgust when close by.
M. CAMBON'S ERRORS.
The idea oi M. Gambon,of France,
that labor and capital will not war
In this country because all capital
ists sprang from the laboring class
is simple nonsense. The only things
that prevent violence and actual
war now are the law and th9 army.
And why? The answer is plain.
Capital once in the ascendant is ty
rannical, unreasonably exacting
a: d always grasping for power.
It has always been so and human
ity li<is not changed in republics
any more'than in aristocratic com
munities holding and grasping al
ways for nowe». Capital once in the
ascendant seeks to creat«- caste and j
dividing lines in social standing,
which the laboring class does not j
faiI to observe and resent. But ihe|
fact is M, Gambon neglects to com
prelumd that the capitalists of this
country in nineteen cases out of
twenty are not from the laboring
elites. Let him name ten million
aires of the United States who made
their millions by honest toil. In
stead he will find the sharper, the
unscrupulous robber through vil
lainous speculation, the batik theif,
railroad wrecker, and the conscienc
es oppressor of the poor and help
less laborer. From these too evi
dent truths have sprung labor - un
ions and which go far to justify
communism almost as much in the
United States as in Russia.
The conditions of European gov
ernments are so different from ours
that no foreigner understands us
and his theories about us half the
time are vagaries and merely spec
ulative.
KILLED BY A GEORGIA R. R.
NIGHT EXPRESS.
WHY?
It is the subject of legitimate in
quiry why this government of the
Republican party has not made
Germany give up (he Ladrones and
Caroline islands gotten from Spam
surreptitiously after we had whip
ped her out of all her Pacific ocean
territory ?
* Now if we had a right to Guam,
whicli we took willy-nilly, we had
a complete right to the Ladrones
near by. It may be suggested from
appearances that our Uncle Samuel
considered the weight of metal and
the efficiency of the army of the im
perial William.
Prudence is sometimes as valuable
a commodity with nations as with
individuals, and the diplomatic con
duct of the Republican party to
wards Germany in these little mat
ters enables the aforesaid Sam to
crow immensely over the conquest
of Spain without perhaps imperil
ing his reputation for courage.
IS EX-sECRETARY CHANDLER ONE
OF LONG’S FETS.
Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans
wrote a book w’hich has indirectly
been advertised lately in a rather
peculiar way, Iu this book he iu-
cidently alluded to one former sec
retary of the navy, Wm. E. Chan
dler, as an insect. Tnis aforesaid
secretary who had been retired
from his place as such 10 years ago,
being made very angry by Evans’
terms (which fitted him exactly,)ap
plied to the secretary of the navy
for arraignment of Evans as an of
fender. Evans was publicly rebuk
ed for his words and now 7 , we sup
pose Evans’ book will sell belter
than ever which was already popu
lar. So the “insect” has not re&iiy
done him any harm. Now if he will
put in another chapter and call
Gideon Wells a striped iizzard no
doubt the sale of his book will
equal “The Crisis” on a new boom.
TUBERCULOSIS FROM COWS.
Dr. Koch, of Germany, is now one
of the most celebrated men of the
present day. Outside of his noble
efforts to suppress the spread of con
sumption and find a cure for it. He
has lately brought himself into
prominent notice by disputing (be
theory that tuberculosis can be com
municated with human beings from
drinking the milk of cows effected
with the disease, or eating beef of
the same. From his own observa
tions he forms his opinions.' He
has discovered through microscopi
cal experiments that the germ, or
microbe of the diseaoe of the cow is
not the same as that of human be
ing and cannot be communicated
to man. His views are accepted by
many scientists and disputed by
many. Some have so'much confi
dence in Dr. Koch’s judgment, how
ever, that one or two disciples have
voluniered to drink the mi'k to
show that he is correct.
TO SAMPSON AND MACLAY.
If Sampson or Maclay had half
the courage of Schley’s little finger
of his left hand they would resent
some of the fearful insults hurled at
them through journalistic satire It
was easy enough for them to cal!
schley a coward because they en
joyed personal security and impuu
ify from Schley’s resentment, as
his position tied his hand; but they
exhibit a contemptible picture to
the world, now that they are called
cowards and teapot heroes with not
a straw between them and their ac
cusers. should say that Samp
son and his billingsgate historian,
Maclay, ought to fight or leave the
country.

EUGENE LAMBETH’S
AN1) BOTH LEGS
BROKEN.
EIMJPIS.
Left for Augusta on an Excursion Traip
Monday and Killed Monday Night
Was Thought to Have Been
Some One Else.
YOUNG MAN FALLS FROM
TRAIN AND DIES FROM EFFECTS.
Mr. Adrian Low Falls From the TybeeSpe
cial Near Guyton Last Sunday;
—A Saa Affair.
The followiug account of the kil
ling is taken from the Chronicle of
the 20Lh inst. “Last night, at Whe-
less, the night express, Engineer W.
C. Vaughao, Conductor C. D. Bailey,
ran over and killed a man, whose
identity could not be established.
“Deceased was about 45 or 50
years of age, medium build, sandy
mustache,
“He had just passed Wheless.
There was a side track and he prob
ably thought he was on it. The en
gineer says the man ran right into
the train.
‘ Nobody could identify him. He
was cut on the left side of the face,
the left eye out, legs and his body
were broken. He died in fifteen
minutes. The body was picked out
of the ditch and left with the track
man.
“The was nothing on his person
but a knife, a key and some tobacco.
He had tbe appearance of being
a mechanic. The man never spoke
or moved.”
The above account gives all the
details obtainable of the sad and
tragic deaili of Mr. Eugene Lam
beth, of Waynesboro, for it proved
to be him.
He seldom ever left the city, but
concluded to go on the excursion
which passed here Monday to visit
relatives in Augusta That was the
last heard of him until the news of
his death was telephoned to his fa
ther Thursday afternoon by Mr. R
Noble Berrien, Jr., who was in Au
fusta.
The body lay from Tuesday morn
ing until Thursday in an undertak
er’s establishment awaiting identifi
cation,
A remarkable feature of the sad
affair, is that (he remains were
identified by many persons in Au
gusta as that of Raymond Ready, a
citizen of that city, who is absent
from the city and cannot be ac
counted for. Ready’s mother, sister
and brother were sent for and on
close examination declared it w’as
not him. Tbe two men resembled
each other so closely that Ready’s
friends declared it was he.
W, M. Wright, colored —a former
school teacher of this county—was
the first person to identify the body
as Mr. Lambeth’s. He met and in
formed Mr. Berrien, who was in the
city, and together they viewed and
identified the corpse,
The grief stricken father w’as no
tified and went to Augusta on the
5:25 train Thursday afternoon and
brought the remains home tor
burial.
Mr. Lambeth was knou’n to every
citizen of this county, having lived
here all his life. He was at one
time night watchman of this city,
and was Dight watchman at Wil
kins & Jones’ oil mill up to the time
of his unfortunate end. he filled his
positions to tho satisfaction of his
employers and was respected by all
who knew' him.
The deceased was about 41 years
of age and was the only child of
Capt, Amos P. Lambeth. His fa
ther is a prominent Mason and a
mo9t worthy citizen, who has the
heartfelt sympathy of every citizen
of Waynesboro in the sad bereave
ment and loneliness in his old age,
as this was the last member of his
immediate family.
The interment took place in the
old cemetery yesterday morning at
11 o’clock. Rev. F. A. Branch, pas
tor of the Methodist church, con
ducted the funeral services —the de
ceased having long been - a member
of that church.

Killed By tbe Central.
Millen, Ga ,Ai:g.22d. — {Special.)
—Mr. Adrian Low, a young man,
of near this place, fell from the Cen
tral Railroad’s Tybee special from
Augusta, which was on its way
back, last Sunday night. He fell off
near Guyton and was picked up by
the Tybee train to Macon and left
here where he could receive medi
cal attention. The train was run
ning at a high rate of speed and it
is supposed that while on the plat
form he lost his balance and fell
from the swiftly moving cars.
When picked up he was uncon
scious and remained so until his
death Tuesday night. His skull
was fractured and his right should
er and arm were broken.
This w’as a very sad accident as
was the only support of a widowed
mother.

THE PENGUIN.
The very peculiar bird called the
penguin can exist only in the cold
regions of theNorth aodSouth poles.
He measures nearly four feet high
at the South pole where it grows t/>
its greatest known stature. The
largest one9 called Emperor Pen
guins were discovered recently in
South sea explorations. It weighs 88
founds being extremely corpulent.
In its home it knows no other ani
mal and fears no one. It lives in
great solitude. At the North pole
years ago it was exterminated for
food and the recent discovery of it
in the Antarctic regions is almost
as important as the late finding of
the South magnetic pole.
