I f ALBANV WEEKLY HERALD: SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1892. A GOOD INSTITUTION. TUB AID AND LOAN SOCIETY OF the ainim industrial COLIiEOE. Or*;i\uiz*llsn Bffecled Eni Nlghl—The Object* of the Mecietr—II I. n Couulr Orgnnlentlen add <• lYon-SeclnrlnM. The Mutual Aid and Loan Sooiety for the Girl’s Industrial College, met last night and organized with forty- one members. Mrs. W. L. Davis was eleoteil Presi dent, and Mr. T. M. Ticknor Secretary and Treasurer. The plans and objects of the organi zation were discussed at length and in detail, and the object is to aid girls desirous of taking a college course, but who have not the means at their -command, to take the course afforded by the State Female Industrial School at Mllledgevllle. This aid will be ex tended by loans on the part of the So ciety to such girls, who will return the money afterwards, making easy pay ments at stated periods. The cost of sending these pupils will be somewhere in the neighbor hood of $160 per pupil each year, and the Society is desirous of sending two girls at least, entering them at the opening of the coming oollege term. Membership fees are $1.00 per year or $10 will pay for a life membership. About $70 was raised last night among those present, several of them sub scribing for life membership. A com mittee was then appointed to canvass the city and county to solicit members for the Society, and to take subscrip tions to aid in tlie work. There are a good many young girls In the city and county who arc desir ous of takihg a collegiate course, but they are debarred from so doing by the lack of having the means ready and at hand. So there will be a good many applicants for the aid thus afforded. They are to be duly examined, and their papers sent to the principal of the college who will decide which are suitable to admission, thus making the selection entirely impartial. Everyone will at once realize the worthiness of the object which the Sooiety lins at heart. It will be of lasting benefit to the city and county, as every icommunlty is bettered to a certain extent by the increase of well educated people among them. In one sense It will be a charity, but the girls will not look upon it as such, as they will be required to return the money used, as they are able, and it will then be used in tlie education of -bthers. The Sooiety will hold an important meeting next Friday night, and all who desire to join as well ns the mem bers, are requested to be present at the Baptist church. Tlie Sooiety Is general and non-sec tarian in Its nature, and Its field ex tends over the entire county. Cane mills and kettles—all sizes, at 35-ilt N. F. Tift & Co. HE WENT TO THE FESTIVAL And Auctioned Off the Prellr Girls, Taking Kisses For Toll. Col. Reuben Jones, of Baker, is in town to-day. And so is Col. C. B. Wooten. The two gentlemen met in front of Gilbert’s drug store, and a Herald scribe chanced to be in ear-shot of them, and heard what passed. The meeting was a very cordial one, and that courtliness of manner so characteristic of both gentlemen was brought into full play. Col. Jones first asked about Col. Wooten’s health, and was then called upon to make answer to a polite in quiry aboutthestate of Ills own health. “Well, sir," said the Baker county Colonel, as he squinted one eye and stepped baok n little so ns to give him self ample room for gesticulation, “my health has been very good; in fact, I have never enjoyed betler health in my life than I have this summer, until last Thursday night, when they had a festival down at Newton, and sent for me to go down there nnd auction off the girls for them. You know we’ve got lots of pretty girls in Baker, nnd the scheme was to auction some of them off to the young men, and when they called on me to be auctioneer they told me I might kiss every girl I sold. [Ahem!) Well, sir, I got-ready to go, and the funny part of it was that Mrs. Jones, after she found out what tlie contract was between the committee nnd myself, took a notion that she wanted to go to the festival, too. And, sir, that old woman rode to Newton, five miles and a‘half, nnd back home at half past 12 o’clock at night, will, f went through with the whole thing, and the next morn ing I got up about half sick, and I haven't been feeling well since. It was a little too much fur a man of my age.” “llow many girls did you kiss, Colonel?” asked a bystander. “Well, that had nothing to do with my being sick. Besides, I’m not obliged to tell you fellows everything I know; my wife says I talk too muon anyhow.” Tint situation In Alabama looks seri ous.

The legislative contest in Ware county is between the wet and dry men. Prohibition is the leading issue. The New York Tribune says that the millionaires of the country are rloh enough to buy all the real estate be tween the Potomac and the Gulf. It is to be hoped that H011. Henry G. Turner will sec his way clear to tackle Weaver when he comes through this section. He could handle the South-hater beautifully.

Speaking of majorities, why not make it 76,000? If the Sam road will run a special train from Albany to Cordele on the day that Tom Watson and Speaker Crisp meet in joint debate in the latter city—it is to be on the 20th inst., we believe—it will be well patronized. A number of Albany people want to go. There is no limit to the cheek of the Republican campaign orators nor to the effrontery of the average protec tive tariff organ. They actually at tempt to quote the fathers of the coun try in favor of the present system of tariff robbery. What would Hamilton, Jefferson or Madison have said of tariff tax of 100 per cent on flannels, blankets and the woolen cloth ing of women and children? During the times of these states men the average duties on im ports never rose above 20 per cent., and it is a wanton insult to their mem ories to claim them es advocates of the worst system of tariff spoliation the world has ever known.

New York Is still safe from the dreaded cholera attack. As yet ho now oases have reported at • quarantine Cholera is increasing in Western Rurope, while it is abating further east. »*• Governor Northen will make a tour of the State during the campaign and will speak at several important points. The following are Governor Nortlien’s appointments to speak up to date: Dalton, September 8. Bnlnbrldge, September 18. Statesboro, September 16.

Said lie: It is important for us to know nnd keep ever in mind that tlie State knows no such person as an outlaw. No man, however winked he may be, or however condemned for crime, ever gets altogether beyond the protection of the law. »*# Chairman Atkinson, of the State Democratic Committee, wrote to Chairman Irwin of the People’s Party Committee asking that a Committee be appointed to confer with one from the Democratic party In regard to having a joint debate between Weaver and Field nnd some of the Demooratlo orators. Irwin replied that Weaver would be glad to meet Cleveland, and Field would be glad to meet Stevenson in the State, Of oourse Cleveland and Stevenson cannot come to the State at this time. So there will be no joint debate with the Third Party lights. This is the way the Third Party does things. They want whole hog or none, and they will get none. *** iTon. H. H. Knight, Democratic can didate for Representative from Ber rien county, is making an active can vass of every dlstriot in the county, nnd the chanceB for his election are said to be bright. Watson called time on Black nt Sparta the other day just as the Major was about to score a telling point on him. The Major’s time was out, how ever, and ho cheerfully consented to stop. Everybody will wait eagerly for the next debate to hear the re mainder of the point whioh seemed to strike home. •** . Tlie quarantine at New York is pinying havoo with foreign tourists wlio have oome over to visit this coun try In infeoted ships, as well as with many Americans who are just return ing from their foreign tours. If there Is the slightest infection about the ship it is detained at quarantine for twenty days, which is quite a serious interference with business. The com mercial trade of New York has been seriously interfered with, as hundreds of merchants who generally go to New York, are, through fear, seeking other markets. The World and Herald are being denounced for publishing sensa tional cholera reports. Several new deaths have been reported on the ves sels held at the quarantine station. It seems that the trouble in the Ten nessee mining regions is by no means over yet. The miners have recovered from their first fear and they are still on a strike. None of them will go to work, and they are now making fre quent attacks on the company of sol diers located there. They have fired into the camp on several occasions, and everything seems to point to the fact that there will be another outbreak yet before the matter is settled. *** Hon. Henry G. Turner is in great demand everywhere during the pres ent campaign. He is wanted to meet and answer Weaver who will speak in Georgia during the present month Weaver will be In Albany on the 21st, and the people here hope Mr. Turner will, for the sake of his old district, come up and answer the Soutli-liater’g remarks. While Weaver could not have muuh effect in this section, we believe a speech from Turner would do the people good and counterbalance every Third Party tendency that is liable to break out. #*# Hon. f?eab Wright, of Rome, has sent in his formal letter declining the Third Party nomination. He says Be is a Democrat and always will be, However in his letter he says of the Democratic platform, “the man who oalls.tlie Chicago combination of slush and imbecility a Deinooratio platform, is wilfully and pitifully blind.” ne then goes on to set forth the platform upon whioh he is going to run as a Democrat, and just as the Herald predicted it Is a hybrid, but the hopeless part about it is that it contains mighty little Democratic doo- trine. Omitting the sub-treasury plank he might ns well have accepted the Third Party platform at onoe. Ills principles nre almost identical with those of the Third Party. »*» The Athens Banner says that Wat son Is a grand stand player, who makes some pretty oatahes occasionally, but always muffs the ball or strikes out at critical points. He has now challenged the different Congressmen to joint debate, stipulating, of course, that he slinll have the advantage of opening nnd closing in each case. Tills is a grand stand play, but just watoh him saw out when he tries to get a Con gressional bnse hit. The second of tho debates between Watson nnd Black comes off to-day nt Sparta. Despite Watson’s advantage in having the opening and closing speeches, the Major will get the best of the dismission as he has done on all other occasions where he has met the Third Party demagogue. *** After asserting that the President’s letter accepting renomlnatlon will dwell mainly upon tariff, reciprocity anil finance, those who pretend to speak for General Harrison in Wash ington say that “the Federnl eleotion question will not be avoided in the let ter.” They hasten to add, however: “Nor will it be given too great promi nence, in view of tho faot that this campaign relates not so much to that question as to the questions of tariff and finance.” •*# Mr. Harrison’s acceptance of the Re publican nomination Is a wonderfully skillful and clever campaign docu ment. There Is nothing ferocious or inttmldatihg about ft to the opponents of the party he represents, but he states in mild, yet foroible words, that he advooates every inch of the Minne apolis platform. Tnrlff, reoiproolty nnd the force bill are the leading fea tures of his message, and the unwary and careless reader would find noth ing in it to cause alarm. But, under neath the whole, there lurks that dog ged Republican persistence to tax the people to the verge of starvation for the protection of the millionaires, to anohora force bill upon an unsus- peotfng people, and, In spite of all, to rule or ruin. •** Deaths are occurring every day on board the ship at quarantine off New York, but, fortunately, no case of chol era has yet struok the city. No per- son is allowed to communicate with those on board the infected vessels, and it now looks as if we were going to esoape the dread soourge altogether. •*# John Mlbley, of Cobb county, says the Third Party in the Seventh shall not support Wright or any other man for OongresB who doesn’t stand squarely on the Third Party platform, even though he has to run himself. There are many humorous features about John’s politics, and he is known to make the wildest statements without the slightest foundation. He got worsted the other daY in a joint de bate with Joe James at Douglasvllle, but the chances are that the Third Party will put him out for Congress in the Seventh to oppose Wright and Maddox. Rev. James B Cranflil, the prohibi tion candidate for Vice-President, is booked for a political tour of the State during this month. Close on to him comes Weaver, the Third Party candi date, to ask for votes from the people he has so grossly slandered. What has Georgia done that she should deserve all this punishment in so brief a space? Yet, if all accounts be true, we must peacefully submit to the inevitable, #% We are confident that the entire Georgia Democracy will indorse the suggestion that Hon. Henry G. Turner shall meet Gen. Weav.er on the stump in this state. Few men in public life are so well equipped as Mr. Turner to discuss the issues of tlie-day. He has been in Con gress for twelve years and is recog nized as one of the ablest leaders in that body.—Journal. #*#. In Fulton county’s primary, yester day, Messrs. Porter King, Harvey Johnson and E. W. Martin were nom inated as representatives to the State Legislature. Mr. R. A. Broyles, the laboring men’s candidate, was defeat ed. A strong ticket has been nomi nated and they will do good service for tlie county and for the State. **• Mr. Sam Small, Georgia’s evangelist, was shot night before last at Hazelton, Indiana, where he was conducting a prohibition meeting. The wound was a slight one, however, being only a flesh abrasion in the leg, Much ex citement was stirred up by the shoot ing, the oause for which was not gen erally known. OLD TIME FUNERALS. WHEN LEADVILLE DID THE "PROPER THING” FOR DEAD MEN. When "Texas Jack" Was Burled the Whole Town Turned Out—There Wse a Braes Band, n Chorus from uu Opens Company and n Long Pruossston, To one who passes along the streets of Leadville now there is juBt one feature in particular which serves os a mark of comparison of tlie Leadville of today with the mining camp of thirteen years ago. Leadville now is respoctable, staid and os solemn as a mining city can be, but it isn’t the solemnity in the abstract which strikos one now. It is a specific solemnity which concerns itself with funerals. To one who has lived in the past, when every funeral was an occasion for as much celebration ns a circus, the quiet and sedate cortego moving along Chest nut street today is something not td he considered. It is too gloomy to suit the old timer; but, ulusl the old timer is no moro. In 1870 the town was wild. Every body carried a "gun”—not in his pooket, mind you, only tho natural horn fool did, und lie rarely lived to ropent of it. The weapon was stuck in ids belt right handy for immediate action. As a con sequence rarely a day passed wlthont a violent death. Added to this the work of pneumonia kept the gravedigger over in tho valley nt work night and day. This may sound like exaggeration, but it isn’t. The twinkling lights in the valley presented a growsoue appearance at night and more so when their purpose was known. They lit the gravediggers at work. Pneumonia was a fearful enemy. Men were strong, fearless, healthy In tho morning, and when even ing camo with it woe the physician and the next day tho undertaker. No ac commodations fit to he called such were obtainable, and men after days of hard work in the minos wore obliged to sleep in that frosted atmosphere wherever they could. Bov. T. J. Mackey was the moat pop ular clergyman In town at that time. He was loved by the good people and respected, almost venerated, by the gamblors and the miners, which doesn’t imply that miners were not in them selves reputable people. Whenever a miner or a sporting man or woman died it was Parson Mackey who was called in. There was one day In particular when the parson held four funerals, and that was the record. Four was fre quently eqnaled, but it Btood as the top notch for one clergyman. Mr. Maokey, who was an Episcopnl clergyman, held services In the Tabor opera house. Fifty dollere a day was the rent, and tho collection never fell short. It was necessary to close the doors then long before the time for tho beginning of tho service to keep back the crowdB. This four funeral day spoken of was the day on which J. B. Omoliundro, known all over the world as "Texas Jack," was bnrled. Leadville nover did funerals by halves. A brass hand was a regular thing. No funeral was held wlthont one. The hand attending upon Jack woe made up ot fifty pieces, being a combination of several. Fay Templeton’s oporu com pany was playing an engagement iu Leadville then, and Fay ugroed to sup ply her company to act as choir. The colfiu was set upon the stage loaded with flowers, and flowers were rarer than mines in Leadville, and Rev, Mackev appeared in his regimontals m chaplain of the Tabor Light Guards to preach tho funeral sermon. As he pro ceeded, whenever he made an illusion to any good quality in Jack the congre gation applauded as vociferously us though they were approving a fine feature of a play. There was no dis order—these people meant it all. They wept at the preacher’s words und stamp ed their feet in approval of his hope for Jack's chances over there. Before the services Mr. Mackoy had been waited upon by the Tabor Light Guards. They recited to him the fact that all the senior officers bat the ohap- lain were absent from the city, and told him that as he was ranking officer of tho day he mast don his regimentals and lead the company. At first he de murred vigorously, hut finally, equipped with blue and gold and a sword that know not its place and the propriety of keeping it, lie marohed upon the stage to help Jack along. When tho services were over he found they bad provided a horse for him to lead the column. The preacher wasn’t the most remark able horseman in the world, hut he vyos game, and he mounted and started away. Directly the band struck up the “Dead March in Saul” the preacher and his steed became almost as prominent as the corpse—or they would hare been elsewhere than in Leadville. Here everything went. The dominie waltsed to the graveyard on his fiery charger— actually waltzed, hut nobody noticed that. That was a regular thing, or at least not a striking innovation. At Omohundro’s funeral, as at all fnnerals in Leadville, work of all kinds was suspended. Men and women thronged upon the sidewalks—packed them. One could really have walked on the heads of the people and nobody would have noticed it. In those days the undertaker took great pride in the turning out. RJding in the carriage with the preacher he would look hack lov ingly and say: "Ah, now, this Is a fnneral that is a funeral. This is something like. Look at the crowds, parson, and we've got seven more pieces in the band than at tended the Swede that MeCloskey buried yesterday.”—Cor. Omaha World-Herald. Wisdom aa the Uulf-Mhell Peck.
