“Aiming the incidents of active war
service, there arp no events more
thrilling and more exciting than the
charge, for In Its dash Is displayed the
boldness, the fury of the occasion.
We find an interesting article on
this subject in the last number of The
Century.
During our late war there existed a
marked difference between the yells of
the opposing armies and the fact has
been a pregnant source of comment.
The notes and tones peoullar to eaoh
of them were well defined, and led to
their designation as the “Yankee” and
thb “Rebel” yells. Southerners have
always been recognized as people
possessed of unfounded enthusiasm
and ardor. Their peculiarities of
birth, temperament and character,
coupled with the fact that they were
chiefly. an agricultural people in
habiting n broad expanse of country
but thinly settled, tended to Improve
their voices for high and prolonged
notes.
The “Yankee” yell lacked In vocal
brentli, pitch and resonance, from the
fact that the soldiery of the North was
drawn chiefly from densely settled
portions of the country, from eltles aud
towns.
It Is ante to say that many of them
had not elevated their vocal tones to
within anything like their full enpan-
Ity since their boyhood days.
The “Yankee" yell wns nailed by the
Federals n “oheer," and was intended
for the word “hurrah," though that
pronunciation wns never heard In
charge. It was “Iloo-ray! Hoo-ray I"
eto. The “Imo" littered with n low,
short tone, nml the “ray” yelled with
a long and high tone.
Rut the “rebel" yell possessed n dis
tinctive quality, penetrating and ter
rifying. It was often licnrd on the
field of battle nnd name forth spon
taneously, “Woh-who-ey! who-eyt
woh-how-cy I" The first syllable
“woh,” short nnd low, and the second
“who" with n very high nnd prolonged
note defleoting upon the third syllnble
“oj."
It enthused the “Rebels," but wns
usually terrifying to their enemies.
I.et us rejoice Hint war is wltl) us
only In memory, and that now there is
no need of giving vent to a yell either
North or South that is tended to en
courage man to take human life, even
If the taking of it seems justifiable.
PHotiRass or this south.
Hon. Carroll l). Wright, United
States Commissioner of Labor, on
Thursday evening of Inst week deliv
ered an address at Nashville, Tenn.,
on the Progress of the Southern States
from 1880 to 1890, In the course of
which he said:
“The Soutlierti States in 1880 pro
duced 1187,1101 net tons of pig Iroh, nnd
In .1800,1,800,000 tons wero produced.
Ill sleeltlie South has made much
progress. In 1880 the number of net
tons was 4,860, and 111 1890 184,026.
This Is a most encouraging outlook,
and bespuaks for the South a steel in
dustry 111 the future of whleli she will
be proud.
The largest ootton crop in the Soutli-
ern States prior to the war was in 1800,
wlien 4,609,770 bales were produoed.
In 1871 It was 4,862,817 bales. In 1891
the production reached 8,062,697 bales,
and 106,001 bales of the production
were consumed in Southern mills,
as against less than half that quantity
ten years before.
In I860 cotton seed oil mills orushed
1,007,200 tons, the product being worth
867,810,880 an Increase, in round num
bers, In ten years of 891,000,000. The
number of cotton mills fnorcased from
101 In 1880 to 884 in 1890, the number
of spindles from about, five hundred
thousand to nearly two million, and
the product from 816,860,182 to $61,-
109,870. »
Thk Oklahoma Tlmes-Journal calls
uttentimi to the fact that for the llrst
lime in the history of political Nation
al conventions ill the United States
the Republican National Convention
at Minneapolis will' contain a full-
blooded Indian, and that Indian will
be a delegate from Oklahoma. He is
“White Turkey," chief of the Shaw-
nees. 11c Is a full-blood, and during
the war assisted the Federal forces ill
every way In liis power nnd command
ed a uoraoanv of Indian soldiers.
Albany, Ga., March I j
Thk second annual report of Pasteur
Institute of New York has Just been
Issued, and furnishes some interesting
statistics with reference to hydropho
bia nnd Its treatment. During the
year just ended 674 persons applied
for treatment. In 461 of these cases it
was demonstrated that the animals at
tacking them were not mad, and the
patients were sent back. In 118 cases
the anti-hydrophobic treatment wns
applied, It having been proved that
the bites were from animals which
were mad. Out of this number only 8
died of hydrophobia. Durlngthe year
42 deaths from this cause wero report
ed, from various parts of the country,
of persons who had not taken the
treatment. Statistics show that from
26 to 40 per cent, qf_those who are bit.
ten die. Tinder the Pasteur treatment
only 8 out of 113 authentic oases died.
During the two years of Its existence
298 persons have been treated at the
-Institute.

Bo many Congressmen are having tp

Tna Brooks county Alliance has re
solved Itself into the Third Party, but
two of the siib-Allianoes refused to
renounce their Demooracy, and dis
banded.
Thk bid that Judge Atkinson made
for the Alliance vote in his letter an
nouncing his candidacy for Congtess
is beginning to recoil on him. And It
ought to. '
Thkiik will be very few peaches In
Southwest Georgia this year, and the

Thk water-works election—the third

Tiiihd Partyism may seem to flour
ish fora time In certain localities and
counties III Georgia, but It will .never
reach the proportions of a real political
party In the Empire Sjate of the South.
So littik is ever said nhout"Vioe-
Presidcnt Morton that half the people
of the country have forgotten who the
Vice-President Is. Nobody seems to
be booming Mr. Morton for a second

Sin. A. J. Fi.kktwood, one of the
most successful melon growers Ilf this
part of the State, in formed the Hkrald
this morning that his first planting of
melons had come up benutifully, and
lie had n stand that was as qegrly
perfeot as conlil be.
Upon the prmplple of “giving the
devil Ills due,” Col. Leonidas Livings
ton Is entitled to oredit for making
a mighty good Demooratlo speech and
knocking the bottom out of the Third
Party at Conyers on last Saturday.
Now It Is rumored that Col. Living
ston is going to stump tlie.Statg for
Governor Northen’s re-eleotiou. I Col.
Livingston Is one of your politicians
who never lets his right hand know
what his left hand is doing, and of
whom it cannot be told to-da.v what he
is going to do to-morrow.
Thk crop bulletin. Issued by the
United States weather service Satur
day nfternonn gives a most encour
aging repertof the condition of the
fruit crop for 1892. “The fruit crop Is
promising,” says the Acting Director
In Ills Saturday’s report. So (lie Geor
gia peach crop will, in spile of tlie
frosts, be a success.
Thk Savannah News scores a good
point in the following: “The South
had a bitter experience with political
adventurers during reconstruction
days. Then the ignorant Negro was
used as a cat’s paw. Now, other ad
venturers are trying to use honest
and intelligent white farmers, and
the wonder of it is that some Georgia
farmers appear willingto be uspd.”
TitKltcorgln Democracy is in a bad way. It’s
afraid of tbe Alliance and of Itself. One tiling
seems pretty sum The most turbulent Hill
State in the South is beginning to as* itself:
“Have I bitten off more than I can masticate?”
Meanwhile Cleveland is making headway* and
brother m bidden bowure of brother if tho latter
hold au Alliance vote.—Chicago Inter Oocan.
If the Inter Oeenn knows as little
about the political sentiment of. tlie
other Southern States as it seems to
know about how Georgia stands on
the Presidential candidates, it may aa
well prepare Itself for some surprises.
Georgia hasn’t “bitten off 1 ’its .Presi
dential quid yet, and those papers and
politicians who have pledged the
State to Hill may find that they can’t
deliver the goods. But the Inter
Ocean need not lie looking in this
direction for any comfort for the Re*
publican party. The‘Democratic nom
inee for President will receive Geor
gia's electoral vote.
