In their abuse of Uryan and derision
of the "free silver fallacy” these fellows

Yanoe, Colquitt, Daniel and Mills, were
in the saddle. Hat in 1894 we lost house

And why ? Wore all the other Demo
crats—Democrats of the "old guard,”
suoh os wo have named—wrong and
Olevclaud right? What happened that
year, and wlmt was It that caused the
Democmtlo party to lose control of the
national Congress? It cannot be said
that It was "1(1 to 1.” That was a later
issue. It was Cleveland. And how did
ha do it? By going book on his party
and on himself, or his first administra
tion, as wall. And he did it by over
throwing tho old doctrine thnt "coin”
meant gold and silver—either or both—
and ordormg thnt paper money should
be redeemed in gold. Ho gave away
the option whioh the government had
previously held of passing either gold or
silver coin over tho oounter; opened the
Pandora's box and let the treasury be

Old leaders begged for him to stand
where ho stood during his first term,
hold the option and protect the treasury
from raid. But he went ahoad and
thns established the gold standard amid
a paulo, and prolonged thnt panlo ThlB

WBY RAPISTS ARB LYNCHED.
Yesterday's dispatches gave particu
lars of the lynching at Bmlthviile,
Tenn., of Charley Davis,’ charged with
criminal assault. Davis's victim was
Miss Kate Hues, and the crime was
committed on last Sunday evening.
There are some interesting and un
usual facta in cotraeotloa with thiiotse
that are worthy of special notice. Im
mediately after the crime was make
known, Davis was arrested by the local
authorities and plaoed in the oonnty
jail. Excitement ran high in the com
munity, bat on the assurance that the
prisoner wonld be given an immediate
trial at a special term of eonrt, mob
violenoe was averted. True- to the
promise made, the clronlt judge con
vened court yesterday morning for the
trial of the case, but five days having
elapsed since the crime was committed.
The prosecution presented Its evidence
to the jury and madeaolearcaseagainst
the prisoner. Without hope of saving
their client's neck by breaking down
the state's evidence. Davis's attorneys
proceeded to assail the oharaoter of the
yoaag lady who was the victim of the
assault, charging that she wus not a
woman of nnsnlllcd virtue prior to the
time when the alleged crime was com
mitted.
On tho moment that it became dear
that this would bo the Hue of defense
adopted, tho prisoner's fate was sealed.
Before the attorneys for the ilefeudnnt
could fairly begin the Introduction of
thoir testimony, (hero was a rush for
the prisoner, (jniokiy he was seized
and torn away from the officers by de
termined men. Ill the slash with the
mob several ollloers were wonnded, but
the prisoner wus harried from the conn,
house and qnlokly put to death.
This is not the first oaso of tho kind
on record, bnt none serves to oetter il
lustrate the spirit thnt snlmates the
average Southern mob. It is not a spirit
of vengeance so mncli as tt Is a determ
ination not to allow the woman who has
been made a rapist's victim to be placed
on tho witness stand in a eonrt room to
give evidence, every word of which
tears at the very tendrils of her heart
and overwhelms her with a sense of her
unalterable humiliation—cither this or
nu nssanlt on her reputation by lawyers
with a rapist to defeud nnd a fee to
earn.
As long us such conditions prevuil,
just so long will men who commit crim
inal ussault be lynched.
Ever since thu mosquito became
known as the distributing agent of the
germs of malaria, yellow fover uud ty
phoid, he has been discussed in u very
learned manner in books and magazines
In mi aitiole on yellow fever, contrib
uted to the Popular Science Monthly by
Surgeon General Sternberg, he contends
that It has been clearly demonstrated
that yellow fever may be communicated
to parsons by mosquitoes; that it oannot
bo communicated by coutaot of healthy
persons with siok ones, or with the
olotlilng and belouglugs o.' sick persons.
Dr. Sternberg declares that the experi
ments to establish this fact, were exten
sive and conclusive, and if be is to be
accepted as an authority they prove
that all the care taken and all the ex
pense inenrred to disinfect ships and
thoir cargoes coming l'roni ports where
yellow fever Iiub prevailed, or was sus
pected, have beeu utterly useless, since
nobody iiossibly could take yellow fever
from saoli a source, howover mnoli he
might be exposed to it. It does not follow
that quarantine is unnecessary against
yellow fever, lie says, since a patient
sulfering from it may, on bis arrival, bn
bit by a mosquito which may afterwards
bite another person ; bat the disinfect
ing of ships nnd goods is snpcrtluons.
It is not yet proved that the mosquito is
the only propagator of yellow fever,
bnt the evidence is strong that the dis
ease is communicated ouly by an inter
mediate host, and that the mosquito is
the principal oulprit.

COTTON IS LATE,
Usnolly the "first bale” of the season’s
cotton crop has been marketed in Al
bany before this time, bnt this year the
season has been backward and the cot
ton is going to be anywhere from two
weeks to a month late.
The Savannah News says that the re
ports that reach that oity from the ooun-
try are to the effect that both the upland
and the sea Island cotton crops are some
what backward this season, so that the
first bales arc not apt to get in for some
little time. The sea island crop is un
derstood to be from two to throe weeks
late in most sections of Georgia.
An exhaustive inquiry has just been
made by the Houston Post as'to the con
dition of the crop in Texas, whioh stands
at the front as the greatest of cotton-
producing states. Conditions there uru
strongly reflected in the entire cotton
world, because of the large prodnottnn
of the state. From the reporis received
| by the Post it seems that tho recent
| drought stories were grently exagger
ated, and that the crop has not snlTored
there uve gloomy reports, but the glow
ing ones seem to be in the majority.
Tho Texa* crop will move about the
snme time as usual, if there are no gen
eral ruins in the next few dnys, ns tho
dry weather will have the effect of re-
' gaining some of the time lost in the
spring when planting was delayed.
1KIKII POTATOES.
From what we read in the news
papers, It seems that the country is
threatened with an Irish potato famine.
A shortage of potatoes is reported from
New York, Boston, Philadelphia and
Chicago, and the reoent great drought
has largely diminished the prospective
supply. A year ago potatoes were sell
ing for it 25 a barrel; now the price is
j(4, with the prospect for a still farther
! ndvupce to 85 or more.
Here in Southwest Georgia n Becond
'or fall crop of potatoes can be grown,
auil, in view of the general shortage ".e-
i ported, it might be well for nur truck-
I men uud farmers generally to pliint for
n fall o'rop.
A hud woman ta a vory dangerous
tiling to aociety nnd cun work more
mischief in a community tlinn can lie
' stirred iip by half a dozen men in the
same length of time. A case in point is
I furnished by a diHpatoh from Chat
tanooga, Tenn. The community was
j startled a few days ago bv the report
| that Mrs. Mary Burkett of Sherman
| Heights, a suburb of Chattanooga, had
j iieou assaulted and robbed by u negro
near Blowing Springs, Ga., and loft un
conscious for three dnyB. A negro
tramp named Cartersou was arrested
near Blowing Springe and carried be
fore Mrs. Barkett, who claimed to posi
tively identify him as her assailant.
On Saturday Sheriff Bush started an in
vestigation which developed that th4
Bnrkett woman hod faked tho whole
story of assault and robbery. From
the offloers and crew of the steamer
Joe Wheeler it woe learned that
the Barkett woman and a man named
i Usrey took passage on the bont on the
Saturday previous, registering as man
and wife. They went to Kingston,
ITeun., and on Tuesday the Burkett,
woman returned home, putting np n
' tale of assault and robbery to mollify
| her husband. Sheriff Bash telegraphed
to the officers at LaFayette, Ga , where
■ the uogro was taken to jail, to protect
him at all hazards, us a lynching hud
been threatened.
The stories thnt were sent abroad al
legtug that Mrs. Kroger, the wi.e of the
’ self-exited president of the Soath Afri
can republic, was cruelly treated by the
British at Pretoriu, appear to have beeu
without foundation. It appears that
from the time Pretoria fell into the
hands of the British and Mrs. Kroger,
who had been left to her fate by her
bnsbond, became, theoretically speak
ing, a prisoner, she was given an allow
ance of (1,250 a month by the British
government, and famished with a horse
and carriage, while the wife of former
President Steyn, of the Orange Free
State, is allowed (500 a month and given
the use of a horse and carriage. The
Utter, in a letter to a relative in Boot-
land, say* she “never lived so well in
her life,” which ia doubtless true.
Those who hjtve gone off to the moon
tains are writing to their friends at
