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.

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. 'HE WAYNESBORO OIL MILLS IN THE AUGUSTA DISTRICT. Mr. James Dawson Is Manager of ilie' Augusta District-Six Mills in This Dis- J . I trid. It will be news to oar citizens to iearn that the two til mills here have been assigned to the Augusta district cf the Southern Cotton Oil Company.

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. August 23.-The little son of Mr. R L Lovett, who has been quite sick, is improving. Mr. Richard L.

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.
