simccaeor to the late Col/Reuben Jones
In the State Senate. !
The Democrats of Baker county, In
mass-meeting assembled, nominated
Col. Fleming at Newton yesterday.
Tills being Baker’s time, under the
rotation system, to name the Senator
from the Ninth district, the other two
counties of the district, ICalhouu anil
Karly, will, of course, rally to the sup
port of Col. Fleming, and the election
of the latter Is a foregone conclusion.
Governor B. F. Hudspeth, of New

who would he named by Baker as Col.
Jones’ successor in the Seitule, hut lie
Is Clerk of the Buperlor Court of
Baker county, and decided that he
would not give up this poBitfon, which
he has held undisputed for many years,
for a short term in the Senate.
But a better man than Col. Flem
ing could not have keen named,
and, although lint a politician,
he will make a good Senator. He
is a gentlemnn of the old school, and
enjoys the confidence and esteem of
all who know him.

Women Noted for Intellectual Power
Who Aro Hopelessly Plain.
Ono of tho puzzling tilings difficult
of solution in life is tho persistency
of divorce botweon brains nnd
benuty. Whilo it by no means fol
lows that a homely woman is always
brnir.y, or a pretty ono invnriably
devoid of intelligence, still it is tmo
that of all women noted for power
ful intellect few have been other
wise than hopolossly plain. Mine.
De Stool, the intellectual prodigy of
hor day, before whose wit oven the
great Napoleon quailed, and of
whom he said, “She has shafts
which would hit a man if he were
sonted on a rainbow,” was totally
without feminine grace snvo only
tho charm of a low, melodious voice.
Ono famous word portrait describes
her as a "priestess of Apollo, with
dark eyes illumined by genius, and
marked features oxpressiye'of a des
tiny superior to that of post wom
en,” which is of course only an orna
mental way of Baying that she was
not fajr. -
George Eliot’s biographers seldom
attempt personal description, and'
shirk the issue by saying that she
had "large, massive, homely fea
tures,!’’ whioh were at rate intervals
softened by a smile of mint beauty.
Her head wns colossal ana masculine,
her hair coarse, brown and bushy,
her brow high and full, hut her body
was frail and delicate.. And this
powerful woman, whoso writings
have influenced all modern thought,
wns given over to tho woman's weak
ness of shedding tears incessantly. It
is hard to reconcile the fact with her
other characteristics, and it, like her
Becond marriage, aro things her ad
mirers like to forget. Luiiy Mary
Montnguo, she of tho oxquisite let
ters, wns a most untidy and slovenly

marry ono.
Margaret Fuller was quite the re
verse of pretty, save for her grace
ful carringo, though her ndmirers
were given to rnpsodizing about her

A desire for distinction is n weak
ness common to Immunity. In many
discs the desire is so excessive that
if fame is not to lie had notoriety is
weleome. A ludicrous instance is
furnished by Captain J. C. Powell,
formerly i u charge of the Florida
convict camp. He had gone to a cer
tain town nftoru hutch of prisoners,
•anil wont to the court house to find
the deputy sheriff.
“He iH on the street," said tlio
county clerk, "and is sure to lie some
where between such and such places.
You can't possihfy miss him.”
"But i don’t know the gentleman,’'
said tho captain. “How am l goiug
to identify him?"
“Well, I’ll tell you," replied the
clerk. "Just.go ahead until you see
tho ugliest man you ever laid yonr
eyes on. That's Eminger. There is
only one of him in the United States."
Captain Powell walked down tho
street and began scrutinizing the
possersby. in a few minutes he saw
a man so phenomenally ugly that he
whs “petrified with ustonisliment.”
“I hesitated no longer,"ho says,
"but approached the man and. ad
dressed him by name. He at once
replied, and asked in some surprise
how I know him. 1 explained, and
he burst into a henrty laugh.
" T pride myself,' he said, ‘on be

States, and am delighted to know
that you recognized me so readily.’

Kith and Kin.
“Kith u’d kin" hus become a
phrase vaguely applied to express re
lationship: hut "kith" him nothing
to do with kinship. “Kith" means
"kent folk." It comes from "ken,"
which is tiie same as our word "can"
—to know. When one can do a
thing, ono knows how to do it. Evi
dently our ancestors tielieved that
knowledge is poweri The old word
for known was ':kytk," as the old
word for unknown was “unkyth,”
or uncouth. "Uncouth"—strange,
unfamiliar, unusual, unknown—lias
preserved much of its.early meaning
in Scotland. Burns uses "uncos" in
the sense of news. Tlio "unco guid"
are tho strangely, marvelously good.
"Kith." then, meant kent folk, peo
ple with whom oue was familiar.
The bent folk nre the folk we love,
and love and familiarity developed
out of the word "kith" the curious
vocable "kyththle." which in court;
of time underwent considerable pho
netic and orthographic changes, but

word “cuddle."—Good Words.
Tiik Chicago Inter Ocean takes it
mighty hard. The one thing it can’t
get over is that Illinois went for Cleve-y
land and reform by a majority that
was surprising even to the most san
guine Democrats.
Thb Ohio triumvirate, MoKinley,
Sherman and Foster, has met with in
ternal dissensions. According to
agreement it seems that Sherman wns
to resign the Senntorship in Foster’s fa
vor, in case Foster got left in the cabi
net with the coming administration.
As it is Democratic, he is of course,
not in it. But now shrewd John Sher
man refuses to resign and denies that
he ever had suoh intentions, and
course Charley is mad. John will
probably retain his seat in the Senate,
which will result in the dissolution of
the triumvirate.
