CLEVELAND, COLQUITT AND REFORM.
Delegate* Selected Yesterday to the Atlanta

tlons Adopted at JPnlrburn
and Other Points.
Faibbcrs, May 1 —[Special]—The
Be.nocratt< of Campbell county met in
mass meeting here to-day. The meeting
■was called to order by Col. L. S. Boon,

mittee, and on motion of M. P. Harvey,

chairman, and Mr. K. A. Nisbet, of the
Fairhurn News, was elected secretary. On
motion of J. T. Colightly, the following
delegate.were elected: T. J. Bullard, K.

ing resolutions were unanimously adopted
by a rising vote.
Resolved, That with a view to the is
sues which are before the country and
Congress, the Democrats of Campbell
county, now in convention assembled, do
hereby endorse the administration of
President Cleveland and also declare that
his tariff reform message to the Fiftieth'
Congress lias our emphatic and unquali

Senator A. H. Colquitt in ably and boldly
defending the Democratic administration
in its efforts to bring about a revision of
the present unjust and iniquitous high
tariff system inaugurated by the Republi
can party during its long lease of power
sustains, in our opinion, the already
well earned reputation of that dis
tinguished Georgian. _ In his
recent speech on the tariff he showed
clearly and indisputably to the country at
large that he is the friend of the working
man and the farmer.
Resolved, That we refer with pleasure
and pride to the prominent stand which
our immediate representative in Congress,

out tariff reformers, and that they are

mise men or measures.

parties lately. The last one occurred this
week, and was in honor of Dr. C. T. Woot-
ten, who has been on a two anil a half
years’ tour through the West, visittng all
the cities of momentous importance. It
was a delightful affair; music, water and
moonlight seem naturally made for each
other. It is marvelous how much real
pleasure can be gotten out of the mixture
at a certain period of existence; it rivals
in attractiveness even that other famed
compound of lemon, sugar and ‘‘guess
what!"

ATHENS.
Vain hit art to Dl*cover the Alleged
Atheistic Sicivity.
Athens, 5Iay 3.—[Special]—Your cor
respondent lias read, with much regret, the
article appearing in Saturday’s Constitu
tion, headed, “Atheism in Athens,” and,
being a lover of law, order and morality,
feels it bis duty to correct tbe gross mis
representations. The Con-tituliun’s re
porter had tho braxen audacity to state
that there were professional men, mer
chants and even colhge students and
ladies in the organizition. Wlmt, in the
name of lleaven, can he mean? What a
great insult to the fair name of Alliens!
Who can be such an enemy to the ciiy, and
especially tbe university, as to give rise to
such reports? Diligent search Inis been
made, not only by year correspondent, but
by all tbe correspondents of the diflereut
papers through the S ale, and a so by toe
wide awake reporters of the At cn* pa pars,
and not a trace of the “Atheistic Society”
enn Ik- found. I heard a man state to-day
that ho wauld givo any man n liberal
reward who would prove that such a soci
ety existed, and who weald tell the names
o( the members composing it.
I have inquired i.f ii whom I have met
since the report came out, with a view of
finding out the truth of the affair, and
every person whom 1 have consulted de
clared he hnd no knowledge of anything
of the sort
The gentleman who has been so previous
in his so-called news doubtless lie ml of
tbe “I’liil sophic Society,” which lias licen
established among the students, and lias
gotten tho words ‘'philosophic” and ‘‘athe
istic” mixed up: or, perhaps, he has bean!
of a “lawn tennis” club composed of stu
dents and their lady friends. These are
the only clubs which I think (here cun be
any doubt about his understanding.

Creduloua Darkles Open a Jew's Grave In
Search of Trensure.
Athens, Ga., May 1.—[Special.]—Last
week Mr. 5Iarks, a Jew, died here and was
buried in the Athens cemetery. A report
gr-t out arnoug the darkies of tbe city that
whenever a Jew died every other Jew
ot the place would deposit $20 in

ran down to the grave, but the thieves hnd

the lid of the coffin was unscrewed and
taken oil, but the sheet that
wrapped tlie body was untouched. Evi
dently the thieves were some credulous
people seeking the money that was supposed
to.be buried with the corpse.
A Matter of Uuslncss.
From the Boston Courier.
Judge—It appears from tbe evidence
that you swindled this man out of $23.30.
Prisoner—I admit it, your Honor, but 1
beg to call your Honor’s attention to the
fact that it was simpiy in the way of busi
ness.
J.—In the way of business?
P.—Yes, your Honor. We have formed
a swindling trust.
J.—A swindling trust?
P.—Yes, your Honor, I will explain to
you. Formerly we used to swindle a man
out of $500. Now we swindle ten men out
of $50 apiece. Our profits are the same,
but we relieve the individual and distrib
ute the burden, putting it lightly upon tbe
shoulders of ten, instead of heavily upon
one.
J.—I perceive.
P.—So, you see, by forming a “swindling
trust," we'are really benefactors to our
fellow man; the many come to tho rescue
of tbe one. It is harder work, of course,
to find ten men with $50 than one with
$500, but we have the satisfaction oi know
ing that we have put the burden of the
one upon the many. 51oreover, we have
broken up all other combinations of
swindlers, and tlie community is safe
from everyone excepting ourselves. I
therefore ask vnnr honor to took over the
matter in a kusiness light. We are a
trust, and as such, we look not for inter
ference, but protection from the law.
J.—Of course if you call yourselves a
trust—
P.—We arc, vour honor.
J.—Organized for the benefit—
i r.-Oi the individual, your Honor.
-1 J.—Yes, and as you arc the individual
find society is the many—six months in
tho House of Girrection. Mr. Clerk, call
the next case.

N ew Orleans, 5Iay 2.—E. L. Martin, pub-
lialier of the New Mi-sissippian, sends the

“Tlio Faded Coat of Gray.’*
From tho Grccnesboro Herald.
The Coat which was used on 5Iemorial
Day to illustrate the fine recitation of 5(rs.
Oton is the property of Capt. J. 51. Storey,
one of our merchant citizens, and a captain
in the Guifederate army. Cant. Storev
went first into the army in the Eighteenth
Georgia, of Jackson county, and afterward
in the Forty-third. He served in both the
Eastern and Western armies, and was
wounded in several battles. The coat,
which is the subject of these notes, bears
tht ’indalible evidences of the Captain’s
intrepidity and devotion. Upon the left
collar is the scar of a bullet. Through
the left sleeve, at the forearm, arc two
bullet holes, indicating the entrance and
exit of another bullet. On the eamesleeve,
below the elbow, are two other bullet
holes, where still another messenger came
and went. This lust missile pasjed through
the Captain’s arm. The left breast of the
garment, however, contains by far the
most suggestive memento. Here a bullet
entered, and, barely escaping Cateain
Storey’s heart, passed entirely through his
body and emerged at his back, to the left
of the spinal column. A trilling deflection
from it* Hue would have made it a mortal
wound. Altogether, this relic of the war
is om of the most interesting extant, and
to tbe soldier who wore it wliile it was a
veritable mark for death it must have a
value fur beyond compute.
Rumors of Cnblnst Clmngrs.
Special Dlzpatch lo tbe Boston Advertiser.
Washington, April 27.—There has
been a great deal of Supremo Court and
cabinet change talk in the air to-day. One
story was tlmt the reason which seemed to
make Mr. Phelps so strong with the Presi
dent was that Mr. Bayard had spoken very
eloquently in his favor. Another story,
given out by a member of the House, is
that, whiie President Cleveland hoa not
definitely decided u|h>ii the mnn for the
VIcant chief justiceship, 5fr. Bayard ad
mitted to him very candidly that he was
seriously considering leaving the cabinet
and going before his people for re-election
to the Senate. This has been suggested to
Mr. Cleveland,and lie has the appointment
of 5Ir. Phelps to succeed 5Ir. Bayard un-
ilef.consideration now.

“Well, have you got any calico?"
“No, ma’m.”
"Any meat?”
“No, ma’m.”
“Jewsharps?”
