The Survival of the Fittest WAYNESBORO, GA., OCTOBER 20. 1901 And yet Mrs. Roosevelt wouldn’t have a nigger to clean up tbeWbife House. This is not a dead town because it has returned to dust; but its here, dead sure. j Putting civilization into the Fill- ; pinos hypodermically with Krag- Jorgensen rifles is not a success ; But don’t say anything abaut it for ! fear the entente cordial between Teddy and Booker might be strain- I ed. Admiral Schley’s popularity is a 1 right outside the railing of the court if it isn’t unanimous inside. They say Japan is going to fight Russia. Little Jap thinks she has found a man of her size at last. The odeur a'Afrique did not de ter our Lon Livingston a little bit when he last entered the White House. Sampsou got quite an ovation up at Yale this week. So did Booker Washington and ihe other white fellows of Booker’s color. “After all there is very little dif ference between the qualities of a perfect gentleman and those of a perfect lady,” says Max O’Rell. Pat Crowe insists that he did not kidnap young Cudahy, wants a trial and will surrender to the law if the reward of $50,000 is withdrawn, They have drags to drag from the sea off Alaska the gold dust in (he sand below. It seems that the Pa cific ocean hasn’t enough water to lay the duat. We shall have Admiral Schley at the helm soon and we shall then see if Hanna and Lemley can wreck him as well as be wrecked the Spaniard. Some officers of the navy in the Schley court of inquiry have testi fied that Admiral Schley was very nervous. It may be said their tes timony did not go far enough as they have omitted saying how nerv ous they were themselves. The fact that Mr. Hardwick of the house Introduced a bill to make drunkenness in public places a mis demeanor does not interlere neces sarily with his position as a local op’ionist. His bill is a good one and ought to be a law’. Anyone pa tronizing a blind tiger ought to be punished a3 severely as the tiger, especially if he gets drunk. The Georgia Railroad Bank build ing now in process of erection, ac cording to the design,will be a mag nificent structure. This famous banking institution is pe'haps the greatest in the South. It is strong and conservative backed by enor- mous capital, directed by men of fi nancial ability and integrity and it ha3 the full confidence of the public Augusta is justly proud of this fa mous old bank The message of Governor Candler is an able, sensible state paper. His suggestions for retrenchments are about all that is left us practically to reduce taxation. The poor of the state cannot stand the present rates long. It should be remembered that high taxes effect the values of prop erty seriously. Only the greatest, prosperity can set off high rates, and a collapse from a bad crop year would he certain disaster. The great-granddaughter of Benj. Franklin died in Philadelphia last week, aged 80 years. She was Mrs. I'. O. Giliespie, and a very prominent lady. Where is the 30 cent historian, McClay, any how; we just want to find out if he parts his hair in the middle on a salary of two dollars and a half a day. Above all other people, the New Englander is remarkable for trying to reform those who are farthest aw 7 ay from them whether they need reforming or not. We are reminded of a blessing of civilization at hand when she leg islature convenes, viz, u;>trammei- ed free speech and an unlimited constitutional right to paragraph. The ancient depot shack in At lanta is still doing busines at tho old slush puddle. Chacun asongout, as Teddy would say to critics af ter Booker had left his uiahogany. If Georgia should turn out to pun ish her tax dodgers properly, some very “prominent citizens” would soon he discussing in the courts of the state a very serious proposition. Mayor Van Wyck, they say, pre dicts for Tammany 70.000 majority. Can’t believe he is such a fool as to make a prediction so far in front of the election. Many things may turn up to defeat a candidate least ex pected; fo*’ instance, the three Rs of Burohard, “Rum, Romanism and Rebellion,” defeated Blain. Tam many has a hot fight before it, such a one as elected Strong mayor of New York to the great dismay of that powerful political organization. In the course of a year 30,000 peo ple went up into the loPy dome of our capital in Atlanta to take in the magnificent view. It has been stop ped by the governor for prudential reasons. Some of the iron j nuts of the railing around the dome were loosened by some mean creature which rendered it dangerous to careless sight seers. There have been vandals always to spoil the pleasures o; others. It will of course be repaired bat the legislature will have to direct the repairs. It should be remembered that Georgia was the first free state and first prohibition state in the United States if not in the world and Mts- sachusetts the first to traffic m slaves and rum. Our very swell officers cf the navy are said to be so tyrannical that more sailors-deserted in time of peace than during vvat’s dangers. It is now a fact that we have more war ships than we can man. Buffalo Bill’s show put in shadow King John the other night in Au gusta, and Shakespeare was left. ‘Every man to hi3 taste,” as Roose velt said w’hen h9 invited Booker to dinner in the White House. We are getting a little wearied wailing to hear the rush for Book er’s company at the socials and oth er functions up North. 3 > far they seem to be a little backward in com Ing forward to endorse the presi dent’s move in that direction. Only one reported to this date. Don't Get Thin Get fat; get nice and plump ; there is safety in plumpness. Summer has tried your food-works; winter is coming to try your breath-mill. Fall is the time to brace yourself. But weather is tricky; look out! Look out for colds espec ially. Scott’s Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil is the subtlest of helps. It is food, the easiest food in the world; it is more than food, it helps you digest your food, and get more nutri ment from it. Don’t get thin, there is safety in plumpness. Man woman and child. . If you have not tried It, send for free satr.ple its agreeable taste will surprise you. SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists, 409 Pearl Street, New York. 50c. and $1.00; all druggist. DEATH OF HON. GEO. T. BARNES Augusta has within a few days lost two noble citizens Hon. Geo. T. Barnes and Asbury Hull, E-q.,a loss to her as well as tno state, deep<y denloreti by all. As they were hon ors to Georgia they had always received confidence and honor at the hands of the people. George T. Barnes lived to the age of 68 years in his own community and those who knew him best loved him most. He was a statesman, a scholar, and a gentleman He il lustrated the true South in his gen eral character and in h;s death not onlyGeorgia loses hut the South suf fers a loss that cannot be replaced of its kind. - Besides being a representative citizen in state politics, fo*- years in the national assembly he was an important representative figure for our great state. In him ihe white race of the nation had a champion, the black race a protector and the red man an earnest friend. The meanness of politics never entered into his conduct and hi9 whole life was upon the noblest plan of honest purpose and elevated character. Among the people of hi3 commun- iiy his affable nature, gentle man ners and noble bearing will be missed for years. NANCY HART FOREVER. All those who expect to figure in history had better have the facts taken down by a sworn stenograph er, put on proper record aud the seal of the clerk attached Mr. Smith has just knocked Nancy Hart’s fame crooked, aitho we feliows all along (he hundred and twenty years since the alledged feat of capturing the tones took place, have steadily taken the myth—according to Smith—to be undisputed facts. However as people continue to believe that Shakeepear wrote Shakespear’s plays, in spite of Igna- tious Donnally’s cryptograms, we shall stick to Nancy and believe she did point the gun at the tories, say damn and order them not to eat her victuals while she continued to hold them prisoners till help came. Whal’d to become of Molly Pitcher and the woman who sewed together the first American flag for George Washington, if this kind of skepticism is- permitted. No sirs, we are up against it with a robust protest and will take what Joei Chandler Harris says about Nancy without any salt, even to that jail delivery business here in Burke when the cruel war was over. Hert’d to Naucy’d fame as we got it and may she rest in eternal peace. THE ACCIDENT. In the Roosevelt—Booker Wash ington incident it is observable that such ilk asjthe Fortacres, the Ohio political saints and saintesses, give applause for the impulsive, fooli.-h act of the accident in the White House. There are of course a lot o! New England cranks, male and female, who will think the presi dent is wonderful because of h : s me lodramatic feat of daring to dine a negro in the White House, While it humiliates the South it endorses the much obscured doctrine of negroph- olism. In the South we had about concluded that the rough-rider and his hat had quit posing to the grand stand. How bitterly are those, who thought we had a real American president, disappointed is the mis fit now iu the White House. Well, wo are not exactly back where we started, but we have started back wards. One does not know what will come next. We are surprised that any negro of sense should endorse Roosevelt’s social equality act. Booker Wash ington is a fool for accepting and a bigger one for trying to excuse h!s position. He has now disappointed his best friends of the South; for his littleness finds a counterpart in the character of the negro race gener ally—aspiriDg to place that can on ly revolutionise the country by force and do what is abhored by the white race before it can reach it. He is now seen in a far different light, and it is high'y probable he will get a great many cold shoulders where he met warm encouragement be fore. . There was a great “’sperience meeting” up at Yale college Wed nesday last. Roosevelt did not fur nish, all the experience as Booker Washington was still in evidence, and Geo. Washington, our late friend, quite overshadowed. Herndon. Correspondence Citizen. Oct. 24.-Mr. R. F. Jones, of Bain- bridge, is^in town this week. A. P. Wiggins ha9 been quite sick for several days.

CHARGED WITH SMUGGLING. Warrants Have Been Issued Against Fourteen Persons at Montreal. ! New York, Ocr. 23.—On charges of | being implicated in the wholesale smug- ! gling of sealskins in to the United States, warrants have been issued in Vermont j for 14 persons now in Montreal, says ; The World’s Montreal correspondent, j Tnese skins, it is alleged, were smug gled in by a baegagemaster of the Cen tral Vermont railroad.

The special agent of the United States treasury has detained at Rouse’s point, on the United States border, a shipment of coon tails and mink waste, which he declares are undervalued. These furs were shipped by the Russian Fur com pany of Montreal. The members of the company deny the charge and say that, ; if necessary, they will go to Washing- | ton to demand their rights. “AN EYE FOR AN EYE," ETC.| Boer Leaders Iloid Council of War at : The Hague. New York, Oct. 22.—The Vienna j correspondent of the London Times and ! the New York Times quotes the Pester j Lloyd, which says it learns from The j Hague that Mr. Kruger, Dr. Leyds and j Messrs. Wessels, Woimarens and Fisher j have held a council of war at Villa j Caracasa to consider what answer is to j be made by the Boers to the executions ! in South Africa. There is said to be no doubt among | the Boer leaders that the diplomatic protests are inadequate. All present at the meeting except Mr. Kruger, savs the report, advised immediate reprisals, that for every Boer executed a captured British officer be shot. Mr. Kruger op posed this on the ground that he did not wish to give the campaign the charac ter of a war between savages, although it had already become a war of extermi nation.
