ght Jerald and ^dcertiscij. Newnan, Ga., Friday, April 13,1888. A GOOD MAN. Sudden Death of Rev. C. W. Smith, of Wesleyan Female College. Mncnri Te'egraph, 6»h Inst- T)r. C. W. Smith, of Wesleyan Fe male College, is dead. For some time past he had been com plaining of not feeling well, but he did not think it any way serious and con tinued his duties in college. Yesterday morning he heard his recitations as us ual, and s( emed to the young ladies to be in the best spirits. After the recitations ho accompanied one of the young ladies to the union depot to see her aboard the train, and shortly after ten o’clock left the depot. The reporter met him as he was leaving the depot and he appeared to be in his usual health, though at the time he was not feeling well and returned to fl’.e college in a hack, after transacting some business in town. On his return to the college he went, to his apartments and laid down. SliorMv after one o’clock he get. un and walked across the room, and fell in a swoon. His wife ran out of the room and gave the alarm. Dr. W. C. Bass, president of the college, was at dinner, and he ran at once to Dr. Smith’s apartment, followed by a couple of servants. He was found to be uncon scious and was taken up and placed upon the bed. There he gasped once, and all was over. Physicians had been sent for and Drs. McHatton, Moore, Etheridge, and others, reached the college as quickly as possible, but too late. The news soon spread over the col lege and the young ladies wore grief- stricken. He was dearly beloved by all of them, and the shock was so sudden and so terrible that they could scarcely believe that tye who had been in his ac customed place only a few hours before was then a lifeless corpse in the build ing. Like a Hash the news went over the city, and wherever it went a gloom was cast. He was known and loved by all of Macon, and in a short time the peo ple in every quarter of the city had heard it and were sorrowing. Dr. Smith was sixty-tive years of age, and was born in Gretyie county. It was in Greensboro that he first taught school. He graduated with high hon ors at Emory College, and almost from that time he began his work in the ministry. It was in Greensboro that the friendship between Dr. Bass and himself began, and which lasted until his death. Both taught school in the Academy at that place. In 1S62, he left there and took the position of Pro fessor of Mathematics in Wesleyan, and was followed by Dr. Bass. For thirty- six years they were associated together at Wesleyan. At the time of his death he was professor of mathematics and secretary. Dr. Smith had no enemies. He was in every sense a good man, and a deeper scholar than the world thought him. Dr. Bass, who knew him better, per haps, than any living man, spoke yes terday of his scholarly attainments, and said he was one of the profoundest theologians he ever knew’. He was more like a father than a teacher to the pupils of Wesleyan, and they loved and venerated him. It was to him they went for advice and comfort. The thousands of women throughout the South w(io have gone out into the world from under the shadows of the grand old college, their alma mater, will read the news of the death of Dr. Smith with sincere regret. There is no one that does not cherish the recollec tion of his kind words, liis patience and liis love. Dr. Smith leaves a wife, formerly Miss Lundy, and several children. His sons, Mr. G. W. Smith, clerk of the county commissioners; Mr. Lucien W. Smith, salesman for a Cincinnati house; Mr. Howard M. Smith, with R. F. Law- ton, and Mr. Cosby W. Smith, with Payne & Willingham, are well known business men, and their many friends share doubly in the great grief of this community in the loss of so good.so pure and so true a citizen. The funeral has been arranged for this afternoon at half past three o’clock, from Mulberry street church. The board of trustees and the pupils will meet at the college at three o’clock, and proceed from there to the church. The resident members of the board of trustees will meet at the ollice of N II. L. Jewett at ten o’clock. the figure for which he was sold is the largest sum ever paid for a three-year- old stallion in America. He was pur chased from Senator Stockbridge by horsemen in Frankfort, Ky. Senator Stockbridge’8 colleague, Senator Pal mer, who is also a lover of fine stock, sent an agent recently to Arabia to pur chase five full-blooded Arabian mares | which he desired to cross with Perch e- ! ron horses in order to get a new breed. | The agent, who has reached Damascus, notified Senator Palmer that he has re- ceived information that the Sultan has just issued a finnan that no more horses shall be taken out of the country. The agent will not give up yet, howev er, as he still hopes for success bj means of American gold. Senatoi I al- mer thinks that if any such firman was issued by the Sultan it was brought out in anticipation of war. The Warlike Prince. "graph. Frederick William Victor Albert, the -w German Crown Prince and Prince eral peace of Europe, as far as in him lay, and above all to avert the horrors of war from united Germany. The Prince’s recent public utterances, through which a high-throbbing vein of martial ardor has distinctly run, justify the impression generally entertained by his fellow-countrymen that he will be found ready, on any emergency, to vindicate the Fatherland’s dignity and honor by an appeal to the sword, and that he will be inclined to take a war like rather than a pacific view of any difficulties in which Germany, under his leadership, may become involved with her immediate neighbors. Senator Stockbridge’s Farm. New York Sun. Senator Stockbridge is the owner of a very fine farm, just one mile outside t he city of Kalamazoo, in which histor ic town he has liis home. On this farm he has some valuable horses, most of them being fast stock. Senator Stock- bridge purchased a colt one year ago Condon r new of Prussia, is a young man of great mental ability and strongly marked in dividuality. Despite his youth and the necessary self-effacement which is an inborn obligation of all the subordi nate members of the House of Ilolien- zollern, including the. heir apparent to the throne, during the lifetime of the reigning sovereign of Prussia, Prince William, since he attained his majority ten years ago, has impressed himself upon the minds of the leading German statesmen and soldiers in such soit as to obtain from them a discreet hut unanimous recognition as a man of strong will, high ambitions, and con siderable intellectual power, in all probability destined to play a con spicuous part in the great historical drama of which continental Europe is the appointed stage. By Prussian Generals of undisputed authority in military matters, this Prince of eight-and-twenty is frankly acknowledged to be an accomplished officer, thoroughly versed in the art of war, and accurately acquainted with every detail of drill, discipline and or ganization, in connection with all branches of the service to which he has belonged throughout the past eighteen years, which qualify a man to take the command of a mighty army in the field, and to lead it to victory. Prince William, unlike his gifted father—a warrior and chief of warriors rather by the incumbencies of birth and position than by vocation—is a soldier by in stinct and predilection, enthusiasti cally devoted to the profession of arms, which he has studied with rare assidui ty and perseverance, and thoroughly confident of his own capacity to achieve splendid successes with the magnificent machine which, in the course of nature, must one day be committed to his su preme management and direction. He has made himself intimately acquainted with every corps—we might confidently say with every regiment—of his grand father’s army; has served and passed examinations of efficiency in cavalry, artillery, engineer, and infantry regi ments, as well as in the general staff; and is without doubt at the present moment the most popular officer in the Prussian army, with the rank and file no less than with the officers’ corps, lie has for some years past made no se cret of his eager desire to reap an abundant crop of laurels on the field of glory; and soldiers of light and leading, liis senior in age and rank, and instruc tors in warlike science, have not been wanting to encourage liis military am bition by the assurance that he has in herited the strategical genius, coup cVcF.il, and quick sound judgment of his illustrious ancestor, Frederick the Great. Conscious, however, that his high mission in life is not exclusively one of conquest, Prince William has devoted a great portion of liis time during the past decade to qualifying himself for the able fulfillment of a sovereign’s multifarious duties. He lias acquired no mean proficiency in jurisprudence, practical science, and r olitical economy; is well grounded in mathematics, and has bestowed extraordinary pains in making himself master of the French and English languages. He is a ready, fluent, and vigorous speaker, terse in diction and impressive in delivery. When he quitted the University of Bonn, at which lie was in almost con tinuous residence for eighteen months, he abstained throughout a period of more than half a year from the military duties to which liis inclination prompted him to revert, and plunged into the routine of the Prussian civil service, with the result that he speedily be came an adept in the practical work of State administration, central and I provincial. During this phase of his! preparation for the rule lie paid fre-! quent visits to the Imperial Chancellor, i whose political disciple, he undoubtedly ■ is, according to his own unreserved j avowal, and into whose confidence lie ! is believed to have been far more inti-j mately admitted than was ever the case : Our Ministers to the Black Republic. New York Graphic. It may seem a strange thing to say in this era of strife for official place that the Administration lias found consider able difficulty in keeping a position filled that pays a salary of $5,000 per annum. It is very true, however. Of course, the location of the official resi dence is not the most attractive in the world, for it is on the coast of Africa; hut living is cheap, the exactions of society not too stringent, and the du ties of the place merely nominal. It has a high and long official title, for the occupant is called the Minister Res ident to the Republic of Liberia, and a thrifty man might save three-fourths of his salary and come back after four years of liis service was over with sev eral thousand dollars in his clothes. That is, lie could do so if lie would live that long. The position and salary are relics of the Republican regime. There never was any reason in the world for est ablish- ing the place except for the purpose of coddling the black voters of this coun try, and furnishing an office for some ambitious black politician. Under the present Administration there were half a hundred applicants for the office be fore Mr. Cleveland was a week in the White House. The Rev. Moses Hop kins, of North Carolina, was seemingly the best indorsed among them all and he was appointed to the place. He was a Republican, and the people who did not know the secret of his success rais ed a row when they saw liis name sent into the Senate. But Senators Vance and Ransom were very happy. “Mose” Hopkins was a full-blooded negro preacher, who was a very strong card in the political contests of the old North State, and a whooper-up of the negroes from away back. He was a thoroughly educated and respectable man, of bright ability, and had been for many years a sharp thorn in the Democratic party of North Carolina, and they wanted him* out of the State in some way or other, and they expect ed when he got out he would remain out. He did so, for after about a year’s residence oil the coast be d,id what most strangers who go there do—he died. The next man who went out as our representative was a Kansas politician of the colored persuasion named Tay lor. He was a sort of half barber, half lawyer, and of course lie had not been there long before he was quarreling with the local authorities, for that was the only resource he had to keep liis blood from stagnation. But when the fever season came wandering up the coast the Kansas man feared the fate of his predecessor, and hurried back to America. When he reached New York he stayed a couple of weeks at the Hoff man House, and the story he told of the condition, morals and mode of life amid the negroes of the much beprais- ed Liberian Republic ought to be print ed, if any one dared undertake the task, for private circulation among the members of Concress when the next bill is presented to provide for a $5,000 salary for a minister to that delightful spot.
