Tin* News hopes Hoke will enter the gubernatorial con test. This newspaper despises a dull time; and itknows that there will be no dull, listless days in Georgia politics next year if Hoke Smith runs lor governor. Likewise,this is the season when notices of “local legislation” dot the columns of Georgia newspa pers. And now Mayor Weaver has the "gang" in Philadelphia licked to a j standstill.

The lion. Col. Sydney ('. Tapp, ol Atlanta, "riz” up in the Consti tution, recently, to remark that lie had “fit, bled and died’’ for “reform” in Georgia politics. That last seems to be what is ailing sweet Sydney. The "reformers” evidently regard him as a political dead duck. The Atlanta Const it ill ion is st i enuotisly engaged in “busting” mine very mild-mannered, lady like local trusts.

Now comes Smith Clayton, who savs that if Syd. runs tor governor, lie (Clay ton) w ill become a candidate and will skin Tapp on every one of those aforesaid stumps. Iloys,get The News is not tied to any of the “brethering" who are scram bling for preferment, in State poli tics. It is in a position to act with absolute freedom and to give its support to candidates whom it believes will serve the people wise ly and with fidelity. The Nows editor has never been an appli cant at the pie counter in Georgia politics—and never expects to be. Therefore, lie has no personal in terest in t ho election of governor and other State offi dais; and the welfare of the people is t lie only consideration that will weigh with his alignment in St a t «• polit ms. As has been stated before in the News, this paper's columns are open to any person who has any thing of importance to say to the people of Coweta County ; and it, is a matter of indifference to the News as to whether or not it can indorse what is said. The News does not expect every person to see things from its point of view, and has no ipnirrc) with honest men who differ with it about mat ters of principle nr of public pol icy The News despises ] itt IclieSH, narrowness and prejudice; and jealousy and spitel'plneRs are not among it s characterist ics. There fore, tile News will not lie govern ed. iii accepting articles for pub lication, by the fact of whether or not such articles are to appear, or have previously appeared, in any ot.ln r newspaper published in Cow eta County.

The actual cutting of the stone Is il most dilllcult process and requires great expert skill. In ease a full sized model Is made the sculptor sends It to a professional innrlde cutter, who roughly shapes the block. The general shape Is often given to the block be fore it leaves the marble yard to save the extra freight. Tlie rough carving Is then done by the marble cutter, who so shapes the block as to give It the general outline of the flgure to be re produced. lie drills a series of holes la the block, the depth of each of which corresponds to an external point of the statue supposed to hV Inclosed in the stone. After a sufficient number of these holes have been made in the stone be removes the entire perforated portion, and what remains gives the broad lines of the statue.

When the wise and witty Sir Thom as More was beheaded bis bead was stuck on a pole on London bridge, where it was exposed for fourteen days, much to the grief of liis daugh ter, Margaret Hoper, who resolved to secure it. “One day,” says Aubrey, “as she was passing under the bridge, look ing at her father's head, she exclaim ed: 'That head has lain many a time in my lap. Would to (5od it would fall into my lap as 1 pass under!’ She had her wish, and it did fall into her lap." Probably she bad bribed one of Ihe keepers of the bridge to throw it over Just as the boat approached, and the exclamation was Intended to avert the suspicion of the boatmen. At all i events, she got possession of It and preserved It with great care in a lenden casket until her death, and it Is now Inclosed in a niche in the wall of her tomb iu St. Duustan's church, Canter bury.—Notes and Queries.
