WHY RK NitVF.B .HARRIKD.
I History of the IKoinatire In tbe <
of .fame* Hurhaiun.
from tbe MinneapolLtTribune.
A Minneapolis lady told me the other
day the true reason why Janies Buchanan,
tha fifteenth president of tbe United
btates, never married. She used to live
in Lancaster, Pju, and it was near this
city that President Buchanan lived
(whan jjAidfte) and died. 1 quota her

HlV know Mr. Buchanau
/ju'uttv- f . Father was one of his intis
mate frith Js and used to spend a good
deal of time, nearly all of bis Sunday
afternoons, at his country place, Wheat-
land, about a mile from l4tncaster. They
had a bond of sympathy between them—
both were Democrats. Why, he waa at
my sister’s wedding, and I remember the
expression on hie face and the twinkle in
him wjw »• he quoted tho oid saying to my
oldest sister: 'When a younger sister it
married first, the older has to sit on the
fence and await her turn. You must
dance in jour stocking feet tonight.'
"He waa a tall, fine-looking man, with
silver-white hair, generally dressed In
Mack broadcloth, black astin vest and
wore the old-fashioned high linen col
lars. One great peculiarity of his waa
carrying hie head on one bide. Thera
wm a man in Lancaster named for him—
.lamas Rnrhsnsn Frey—and in erde: to
look like him he carried hie head on tha
aide in the same way.
"He told my father about the love
affair. I’ve heard it dozens of timet, lie
arts Engaged to Miss Coleman of Lan
caster, and there, too, lived Miss Hose
Hoblev, also very much in love with
him and mortally jealous of Min Cole-
man.
"The court* of-true love was running
smoothly for the lover* until thU Mise

returned late one afternoon to tbe city,
and on his way home passed by where
Alias Uubley lived. She called ^im Into
the house. ^nd he ( wae there some few
minutes, then went directly home to get
his suppor. As frequently happens, some
Kossipy neighbors either* saw it, or Mise
Hubfey herself took pains to inform Mise
Coleman that Mr. Buchanan had called
at tbe other lady'* home first, although
, engaged to her. bhe resented it, and,
whin be went to call upon her that even
ing, declined to tee him. The next day
he went up to Philadelphia on an early
train, and with her father. Bhe went up
later in tbe day to go with tha two gen
tlemen to the theatre in the evening. She
did not appear as usual~not at all like
herself—and finally declined to go to the
theatre, or wen see Mr. Bucbauar. When
they returned to the hotel, after the
theatre, bt# was a corpse, anu waa

maid and suffered an awful fate, She
was standing before an open grate warm

clothing caught fire and she was burned
to death. Mr. Buchanan narer forgot
Miss Coleman. When be died he said ha
wanted to be buried in Woodward Hilt
cemetery, hscause when ahe was Bring

Adrian, Mich., Aug. 81.—The anti-
liquor, people of Palmyria are likely to
continue to rule in their little burgh,
even without n prohibitory law. I Ate
bunday nignt tha old hotel building
owned by P. C. DeJGraff wee blown sky

Nothing living was killed except some
rate, but today a saloon was to have been
cptued -br/e. Palmyria is a rural ham
let which ones had manufactories, a
bank, stores and hotels, and it gave prom
ise ot becoming the leading city of south
ern Michigan, but real aetata sharks
Uterallv killed it off, And Its trade came
to Adrian. Once in awhile a saloon has
bean started in the little village, but the
temperance people made groggery keep
ing unprofitable. During the lust four
weeks the protq'eets of a saloon in D*
Grad's old hovel building has excited the
town as nothing else could. Deep and
dark threats were made by. the "antis,"
but the "wets" became more determined
and called in the assistance of Adrian
brewer*. Tbe saloon became a fixed fact
a week ago, end today waa set for tha
opening. The "antit" suddenly ceased
their agitation, and it was believed that
tha opposition would bs felt no more.
The ruined building, however, is be
lieved to bo tho work of the temperance
people, although there is no clew to the
actual perpetrators of tha crime. The
sheriff of this county Is on a still bunt.

Trouble Crowe out of tbe Danunct*

jecting tha Confederate Ilomc,
Atlanta, Sept. 2.—In the Confederate
Home squabble in the house there were
some pretty severe thing* said about
the preachers who took part in the arte
sian well meeting. One of the members
^ho had something to eay on that line
"a* Mr. Harris of Catoosa. He was par
ticularly animated in bis references to
Kev. bam Small.
Today Mr, Harris received a letter from
Mr. SmalL This ie not a literal copy of
it but very nearly verbatim ot literatim:
"Mr. ilarrieof Catoosa.— Deer Sir: 1
hawo been absent from the city sad the
mate and upon my return my wife
showed me the report of Friday’* pro
ceedings in which you sutnuanUaliy
chargod that I was tbe leader of the mob
in aud to the capitol, 1 state most em
phatically that this ie absolutely false and
ask of you that you explicitly so state in
tho same pretence where your former
statement was made. This is the only
satisfaction I domand, leaving it to your
sense of honor to do me this justice,
Yours Truly,
"8am W. Small.”
The Telegraph correspondent saw
Mr. Small at the Markham tonight and
asked If he had received any reply from
Mr. Harris, "Yes,” said Mr. Small, "I
calved a letter from him in which he
eays that all he said waa to ask Hill of
Meriwether, who made some allusion to
in his speech, whether it was Sam
Small or Small Bam, and that several
members had answered that it waa Small
Ham. He said h* bad denounced all
who took part in the meeting at tbe ar
tesian well and had called them a gang,
but had uot said that I led that gaug to
tbe capitol."
"What action will 'you take in the
matter ?* was asked.
1 will have a card in tomorrow's Con
stitution, in which 1 will eay that he is a
coward, and shows it in not having
either the courage or the honor to give
the satisfaction I demand. If ha made
such a statement In heat or passion, aud
now boldly and deliberately refuses to
correct his error, then ho is a liar and
beneath me."
"Will you follow the matter any fur
ther?’
No, I have said all I have to say. He
is simply a fool and docs not know what
honor demanded in this instance."

Tbe Representative* of Coweta
County Indorsed by the People.
Newnan, Sept. 2.—[Special.]—One of
the largest and most enthusiastic public
meetings ever held in Newnan took place
last night at the court house, to hear
from Messrs. Atkinson and Whatley,
Coweta's representatives, in explanation
of their vote against the accantanoa of
the Soldiers' Home. The meeting was
called by the friends of these gentlemen,
who felt that their action in voting
against tha bill, and their attitude as to
tbe Confederate veterans of Georgia had
been grossly and persistently misrepre
sented by tbe people and newspapers of
Atlanta. The meeting was composed of
the beet and most prominent people of
the town and community, ladies and
ministers of the gospel, merchants,
Lumers, physicians and lawyers, many
of whom wore the gray and followed the
fortunes of the lost cause from Manassas
to Appomattox.
JURY EfCI'I.AlX THEMSELVES,
Strong speeches war* made by Messrs.
Atkinson and Whatley of our county,
and also by Messrs. Hill of Meriwether,
Davis of Bu»ke, and Sibley of Cobb; giv
ing their reasons for having voted with
the "ninety-three and the nigger." They
were cheered enthusiastically almost
from tho beginning to end of tha meet
ing, and it was perfectly evident from
the first that tha sentiment of tua audi
ence was entirely with them.
After the speaking the following reso
lutions were offered by Col. O. H. Car-
mical, and seconded by Dr. A. U North,
than whom no men truer to Southern
tradition! live:
RESOLUTIONS.
Resolved, That we, citizens and ex-
Confederate veterane, heartily indorse
t!is actios cf cur represents:! vss, Ilona.
W. Y. Atkinson and 8, L. Whatley, in
vo'ing to reject the proposition to accept
the Confederate Soldiers’ Home building
and endow and maintain it a state insti
tution, believing that tha money requir
ed for this purpose can be more wisely
end profitably expended in paying pen
sions directly to that class of indigent
and dependent ex-Conf*dernte* which
the home is designed to benefit.
Resolved, Ti;ut we are satisfied the
plan proposed by those in charge of the
Confederate Home is impracticable, and
are well convinced that the course pur
sued by our representatives on this ques
tion will receive the hearty and unquali
fied approval of the old soldiers and citiv
tens generally.
ltaeolved. That the thanks of this
meeting are due; and hereby tendered,
Messrs. Atkinson and Whatley for their
fidelity and courage in carrying out *Ue
wishes of their constituents in tha face
of tho perverted sentiment an ! the un
seemly bitterness which characterise the
opposition to tbe majority when the
measure waa befora tha house (or con
sideration.
OPPOSED TBE RESOLUTIONS,
Cob V. H. Brewster moved that pert of
the resolutions indorsing the action of
out representatives be stricken, lie war
requested to advance to the front and
present hie aide of the question. This he
did iu a most pathetic and itnpaeaioned
app al in behalf of the home, but to no
purpose^
lie was followed by Judge Alvan U
Freeman, who spoke briefly, but elo-
quar'.ly, for the resolution*. The amend
ment was put and lost by an overwhelm
ing majority. The resolutions were then
carried by an equally overwhelming
majority.
Tints ended a meeting which for fa
unae inuroet has rarely been equalled
in Newnan. ^

Charleston. 8. G, ttvpt. l.—The N«w»
and Courier will print totoorrow it# an
nual review of trade and commerce of
Charles:in. In summarizing the facta
contained in the review, the News and
Courier will aay:
"The financi.il condition ot the city !i
stronger today than It wn* a year ago.
There have been no largo failure*. In
deed, there have been none worth count
ing among uuainesi men. The banka
have done a thriving business. Tbe con
dition of trade in every department has
been most encouraging. New railroad
lines tributary to Charleston have been
built. Railroads have gone to the water,
and our ship* at last are coming in from
all parte of the world.
During tbe past year there waa a small
decrease in the value of trad# of tbe port
in rice, turpentine, rosin and lumber,
but the cotton trade of the port, not-
witnotanding the very low pricer which
prevailed, was $!)3,o00 in excess of
the cotton trade of the previous year.
There waa nu increase of $T<Q,000 in
crudo phoRphate, an increase of $4^3,230
in cotton goods, an increase of I'/JO.OOO
in fruits aud vegetables, an increase of
$20S,C21 in the value of manufactured
products of the city and an increase ot
$5,020,000 in the wholesale and retail
trade of the city. Tha total business of
the city for the year just closed showed
a net increase of $1,703,500 ovor the trade
of 1869-80. The total trade of the city
for the yoar 1800-91 wa* 198,654,003, as
compared with $80,619,717 in 18^9-lKA
Fivu years ago tue trade of* Charleston
amounted 'o 106,910.055. It will bv re
membered that five years ago, on Mon
day night last, the very foundations of
th*» city were shaken and millions of dol
lars worth of property were laid in ruin*.
But at the end of five year; of iuielligont
effort and conservative business method,
the city haa removed every trace of the
earthquake and shows a gain of $31,006,-
166 in its trade and commerce. This ie a
record of which any city might well be
proud. With n banking capital of $14.-
850,000 the city is doing a safe, steady
and Increasing business of $100,000.000 a
year. There is absolutely no limit to the
|K>«sibilitie*of such a people and euch n
city. There is no cause anywhere for
despondency. Charleston is stronger to
day in its 'financial position than any
Southern city. With railroads running
to the water, with deep water coming on
tbe bar, with new and most desirable
railroad connections, with a territory
which is naturally tributary to the city,
with ships coming in from all the world,
the time is near when Charleston’s annual
commerce will count far more than
$100,000,000.

JUSTICE IF NOT LAW.

From tbo Chicago Tribune.
The Western police justice admitted
that he didn't know much about law. but
he thought be knew aa much about jus

tbe big brute was brought in, and ha

with a bandage over one eye, a cut on her
cheek and a big bruise on her neck ad
mitted that her husband did strike her,
but said that he was always good to her
whan he was sober, which wasn't often.
"But I don't want him fined, judge,"
she said, earnestly. "Just make him
promise not to do it again.”
The justice looked over soma old law
books, hemmed and hawed a little, and
then said, with all due dignity:
"The court cannot find that the law
adequately provides for a case of this
description. As my friend, Blacketone,
oare said, there are cases in which tbe
presiding judge must lay legal lore aside
and trust to bis own discretion and com
mon sense."
The justice left the bench and ap
proached the prisoner,
"Prisoner at the bar,” he said, "if you
were guilty of larceny this court would
floe you $2Q, but it ie the understanding
of tbe court from the evidence that you
•truck your wife;"
The prisoner staggered up against a
table as the justice's fiat landed on his
left sy*.
"if you were just drunk and disorderly.’'
continued the justtoe, "this court would
send yoa up for ten deye, but two wit
nesses swear that they ai.w you hit
your wife with your clenched fist."
The prisoner landed in a heap on the
floor and lay there whining.
"If you had thrown a rock through
somebody’s window," contiuued the
justice, "this court would make It $10
and costa, but there is incontrovertible
evidence that you kicked your wife/’
The priaouer yelled so that he could be
heard four blocks as the justioo’a boot
landed on hie rfi's.
Then the justice ascended ths bench
again and after brushing the toe of his
boot with his handkerchief solemnly
said:
It is the finding of this court In full
wh o n assembled, after fully studying
the law in the case and looking up the
rulings of tbe supreme court and the
new circuit court of* appeals, that thor*
is only one way to punish a wife-beater
without punishing the wife, Tbe pris
oner is discharged And, madam,’’ to
the wife "if he ever does it again bring
him here and I'll discharge him again."
Then, aa a thought flashed across his
mind, Le cadet' out:
"Are there any more wife-boaters io
the prisoners’ box? I’d like to dbpoae of
all such cases before taking up the minor
crimes of arson, horse stealing, highwav
robbery, etc.”
FOIICK AT A KINSING REF..
A North Carotin* Husband Who
Si noil I'p for Ills Fretijr Wife.
Washington Fo«t,
Back in ths North Caroling mountains
tha student of customs may atill find
material for research. The most uuique
are the kissing gamer, which still cling
to the soil. A lot of big-limbed, power
ful young men and apple-cheeked, tuxoui
girls gather and select one of their
number as master of cervmonios. He
takes his station in the center of the
room, while the rest pair off and parade
around him. Suddenly one young
woman will throw up her handsaudsay:
,"I am a-pinln.
The master of ceremonies takes up and
the following dialogue and interlocution
takes place:
"Miss Arabella Jana Apthrop aava
•he's a-pinin’. What is Mias Arabella
Jane Apthrop a-pinin fur?”
"I’m a-pinin’ fur a aweet kisa."
"Miss Arabella Jane Apthrop says iba's
a-pinin fur a sweat kisa. Who ie Miss
Arabella Jane Apthrop a-pinin’ fur a
sweet kiss frum?"
"I’m a-pintn’ fur a very sweet kisa
from Mr. Hugh Waddle.” (Blushes, con
vulsive giggles and confusion on tho
part of Mms Arabella Jane Apthrop at
this forced confession.) Mr. Hugh Wad
dle walks up manfully and relieves the
fair Arabella's "pinin'" by a smack
which sounds like a 8-year-old steer
drawing his hoof out of the mud.
lhcn a young man will ha taken with
a suuden and unaccountable "pinin'"
which, after the usual exchange of ques
tions r.nd volunteered information, re
veals tha name of ths maiden who causes
the "gnawin'" and "plnio."’ Bhe coyly
retreats outdoors, only to be chased,
overtaken, captured and forcibly com
pelled to relieve her captor’e distress,
At one of these entertainments, which
It was the narrator's fortune to attend,
there was a remarkably beautiful young
woman who bad been married about a
month. Her husband was present, a
huge, beetle browed, black eyed young
mountaineer, with a fist like a ham. Tha
boys fought shy of the bride for fear of
incurring tbe angor of tbe hulking
epouae. The game went on for some
time, when symptoms of irritation de
veloped in the giant Striding to tha
middlo of the room, he eaid:
"My wife ex pooty, 'n ez nice *n aweet
ez any gynrl hyar. You une hes knowed
her all ner life. This game's been a-goin'
on half an hour an' nobody haa pined for
her onceL Ef aome one don’t pine fur
her pooty soon thar will be trouble,”
Bhe was the belle of the ball after that.
Everybody pined for her.

From Daily Telegraph. September A
The wheel* have been pat in motion
and all (ho machinery of the Macon
Georgia Fair and Exposition is at work.
It is runniug under full time and will
continue eo uutil the 26th day of October,
when tbe result of this fifty-six days ot
untiring zeal and effort will be offered the
rsL will it be? Ask today each com*
raittee having in enargv the different
feature* of gaie week and they will tell
you that their department, at least, will
I e a success and will surpass anything
yet witnessed in Macon.
Were it said tha trades' display would
be the grandest feature of the week, the
races, with a purse of $5,000, would be
forgotteu.
Were it said the raoea would he the
chief attraction, justice would not have
been dona the great prize drill, in which
will be entered companies from every
section of the state, and some of tbe Bo
ost companies in the South.
COL. WILEY AT WORK.
CoL C. M. Wiley, v/lio le chairman of
the committee having this work la
charge, lias already perfected his plane,
and gone to work in earnest.
"Yea," be said, when seen by the
Telegraph yesttrday, "fifteen hundred
dollars will be ample to bring the largest
body ut military together eve- seen in
Macon. 1 have just been figuring on
the cost, and liavo about got it arranged
to my satisfaction, end ant pleased with
the result. We will offer one of the
i est prizes yet offered in a maiden drill,
and propo-e to make tbit the chief fea
ture of the drill.
"We will have enough left tooffei
other good prizee, and rl'.osether
will give a military exhibition
worth going hundreds of miles
to see. You oan just say we are alive
n our department and will turn up with
:>ur heads aa high au the balance of
them."
Capt. Hardeman, who wna at that
time conferring with the colonel on tho
drill confirmed all thi*.
Colonel Wiley saye the military of the
etate bad beet go to work at once, aa
those who enter tha drill will have to do
some good work to win.
Every company commander in the
state contemplating entering the dril.
should write to Colonel Wiley at once
and he will receive all neres*ary infor
mation und in. kept from time to time
posted on the workings of this depart
ment.
Capt. RofT Sims says he is heart and
eoul with tue drill and will do all he can
to make it a grand succrae.
Every other military man in Macon,
officer* and privates, h »ve directed their
attention io the driii and each one will
devot • a portion of his time to any work
at which he can t c rsod.
AN ADDIilONAL PURSE.
There has been some telk of tha five
companies of the s tty raising an addi
tional purse, and aomelhing may develop
from ir.
It is believed enough military will be
here to mako the dress parades surpass
anything ever witneessd in Georgia since
the days of *61.
VAN AND HIA MOVE.
And the Trades Display !
To see Chairman Van with his "move
on” would make one believe the Trader
Display was already a mile long. And
•o it is. Chairman Van thinks he hat
enough floats already in sight to make a
E roctsslon of this length end I elievea he
aa three or four miles of reserve to
draw on.
At any rate, he and hie committee have
not let the grasa grow under their feet
since Monday night, and have already
accomplished wonders.
They hava issued a circular letter ad
dressed to the merchants of Mucon, call
ing upon them to enter a float and sug
gesting to them the benefits to be derived.
Beside* this step they have talked floats!
floats! floats! to everyone they could see
until the president says they think they
will soon be floating in'smooiher water.
The committee proposes to have every
float completed this year et laast forty-
eight hours before tbe float procession
moves off. There shall be no more delay
at the last hour than there will have been
throughout this whole rapid planning
and carrying out of a great enterprise.
It is proposed to communicate with a
competent decorator end deelgntr at
onca and by securing tor him tome hun
dred or more fine floats to build, bring
him to Macon to stay until the oommand
"disband" U given on tbe day of tha
Trades' Display.
A NOVEL FEATURE.
There is the moat novel feature to be a
part of Macon’s trade's display aver
planned for a similar affair. ,
Macon proposes to show to the people
who visit her on that day a sample of her
prosperous, progressiva and intelligent
negroea. They will be induced to occupy
a certain portion of tha line with their
own devices, from the old plantation
cabin with the old "black mammy" and
"Uncle Remua,” to exhibits from tha
large establishments conducted by col
ored people in Macon, their secret socie
ties and beneficiary orJera together with
a body of tha most intelligent and
respectable class of their race in tbe
state.
Tha committee intends todv every
thing in grand stylo whan th^ trade’s
diapUy is commenced, and to that end
will devise special coitumes for ths out
riders or marshals of the d .y for this
occasion.
Historical floats and all manner of
devices telling of the growth end pros
perity of Macon will be planned and
paid for out of that $1,000 appropriated
lor the purpose.
Everyone said last year's trade’s dis
play wae the best ever seen in Georgia.
Watch the next.
the Firework*.
Thl* committee l»ai also charge of the
fireworks displny and will make so
equally great »uccts« of it. They have
already begun uegotUtions with an East
ern hour* for providing a display and
think they will be fully aula to produce
something rarely if overseen in Oeorgia.

committee and president of the Trotter’a
association, is hard at work. This morn
ing he will prepare hi* list of races, and
already n number of good hnr«,.« *re

The racing wt 1 be the best aver seen in
Macon, and the beat stables in Georgia
will be represented on the track, which
will be in the best order. The stables
will all h* tut in good shape; and the
company propose* that hotara coming to
