nate as to be there, will enjoy some of
tlie tlnest singing to be heard any

“Dr. W. A. Duncan left for* Boston

On Saturday he returned from the
South, and says that the Georgia Chau

ory in the history of t hat organization,
and the outlook for the future us ex
ceedingly roseate. Mr. Duncrtiv paid
a brief visit to New Orleans, and while
there delivered the opening address at
the Louisiana State Sunday-school,

The current issue of the Dawson
News publishes the memorial speech
of Col. E. R. Jones, delivered in that
city, and among other compiments
paid him we gather the following:
“If Col. Ed Jones is a fair sample of
Albany’s memorial orators the whole
State couldn’t do better than to draw
at sight on her for speeoh making
talent on the 28th of next April. » * »
Colonel Jones held the audienoe in a
masterly manner, and no signs of
weariness could be seen while he was
speaking. His oration glistened with
gems from beginning to end, and did
credit to one who honored humself as
the son of a gallant soldier.’’
Gradually the Hkrald’s subscrip,
tion list increases. We are very grate
ful to our friends for their many man
ifestations of their appreciation of
our efforts in publishing a newsy
paper. It now requires three carriers
to deliveg the Herald, but in a short
time another will have to be added.

No ONE would suspect tho great and
glorious Chicago Inter Ocean of such
sentiment as is expressed in the fol
lowing: “Secretary Hoke Smith is as
happy at coining catching phrases as
is President Cleveland, but neither of
the gentlemen seems to understand
the meaning of the good things they
utter. Here is Hoke Smith’s senti
ment in an autogranh album: “Public
offices should be createa and conducted
exclusively for the benefit of those
who do not fill them.” It is a good
sentiment, but, Secretary Smith goes
ahead just like bis fellows in the
Cabinet filling the offices on the old
Jeffersonian plan and expecting the
office-holders to hustle for the benefit
of the men who gave them their
place.”
Augusta, Ga., May 8.—The Evening
Herald, of this city, has caused a sen
sation hy publishing the following:
“Here is the true inwardness of the
$8,000,000 debenture suit vs. Central
railroad, which was to have come up
in the city court of Savannah to-day,
according to a financier of Augusta.
The suit was begun by the attorneys
of the Hollins committee with the un
derstanding that Mr. Comer would
consent to a judgment by default to
day. This collusion having transpired,
stockholders of the Central railroad
demanded that they be permitted to
defend this suit in tho name of the
Central. This Mr. Comer could not
refuse. But, to neutralize the effect
of stockholders intervening, the board
of direotors adopted a resolution at its
meeting on Wednesday that the at
torneys of the Central shall, in their
discretion, defend tins suit in such
manner as may best conserve the In
terests of the Central Railroad Com
pany. -.
WHAT 1IK SAYS.
“This gentleman, who Is familinr
with Central railroad matters, says:
‘Mr. Comer need not have hoped to
throw dust in the eyes of tho publio
by such a namby-pamby resolution.
Attorneys who hail already committed
themselves to allowing this $8,000,000
suit to go by default oould not be ex
pected to consider it to the interest of
tlie Central company to resist whne
they had beforehand approved.’ The
prediction was made by the financier
that, no judgment will be allowed to be
taken, as individual stockholders of
tho Central railroad have employed
able and lenrned counsel to protest
against this attempted outrage.
AN Ol’KN SECRET.
“It is an open secret, we are assured,
that tlie real object of this suit was
that, having obtained a $8,000,000
judgment against I lie Central in the
slate dotirts, I Ik-11 Hollins and Comer
hoped to do in tlie state courts what
they had failed to do in the United
3tat.es courts. As lias already been
announced Mr. Comer lias found that
Judge Speer whilst eager to do all in
his poweff tn legitimately protect the
true interestsof the Central stockhold
ers, could not hi 1 made to approve our
fare, newspaper bills, otc,Df a let of
pure and unadulterated promoters.
The tidyiop is given the Central stook-
holders tliiit they apply to 61 r. Comer
for an itemized uncoil nt of the hills of
the reorganization committee and
others. Wliilsl, the p/ibr slyckhotders,
are bereft of , jlity - . divideijijs; with*
their stuck down to T$2t), lifgii 'priced'
arid well paid attorneys have been ap
plying to Judge Speer to pay , their
street car fare, newspapers, dinners,
cab hire, and sUeh insignificant items.
WANTS AN ITEMIZED ORDER,
“‘Judge Speer, nil honor to'llim, wil
refuse to entertain J(r. Chnier’s appli
cation, though made under until. I(
Mr. Comer will send up itemized sta’e-
ments of the $7,000 order he applied to
his Honor Judge Spyer this;month to
approve and which he refused, I will
endeavor to have them published with
out charge to the Central.”’
Uulok Shouting.
“Have you any idea how fast a
man could shoot a pistol in tho bor
der days?" said J. W. Delany, a Mon
tana ranchman. "Tnko tho time when
Doc Hamilton, tho notorious hud
man of Colorado, killed Sheriff Har-
rity in Denver. Hamilton had been
wanted for several killings and was
dead shy. When he turned a corner,
he’d walk away round near tho edgo
of the pavement. Afrnid somebody
would get the drop on him if ho
turned too sharp, you know.
“One day he was iu a hurry, how
ever, and ran around a comer and
looked square into a Winchester
held by Harrity.
“‘Well, Doc, I’ve got you,’says
Harrity.
‘“You’ve got too strong a hand,
Harrity, and I can’t call you,’ says
Hamilton, taking it cool and easy as
you pleaso.
“ ‘Yes, full house, Doc. Guoss you
better travel on in front.’
"Hamilton was standing with his
umbrella on his hip, leaning on it.
He looked the Bheriff squaro in tho
eye. Mind you, tho rifle wasn’t four
feet from him nud levoled straight
for his head. Just ns Doc started
to move a runaway horsocamo down
the street. Involuntarily Harrity
glanced in that direction. Doc saw
his eyes waver for an instant, pulled
his gun—you soe he had his hand on
his hip—and shot Harrity stone dead
before he could pull tho triggor of
his rifle." —Washington Nows.
