Statesboro, Ga., June 22, 1899.
It is said that McKinley used to
smoke ten $1.50-cigars every day
—$15. Pretty fair wages for a
common man!
Those bandits out west who held
up a train last week and only
secured $5 in cash, and were after¬
wards captured, have probably de¬
cided that honesty is the best pol¬
icy. If it had been $5,000 they
stole, they might have cleared
themselves, but a lawyer wont no¬
tice them for $5.
The Omaha World-Herald starts
the collection of a national dem¬
ocratic campaign fund with the
declaration that practically all the
money is arrayed on the republi¬
can side. If this is true, it is a
mistake to tell it for the people
always have a weakness for going
where the money is, and the an¬
nouncement might hurt us.
Atlanta is keeping up her rec¬
ord for sensations. The latest is
the appointment of a committee
from the board of ccuncilmen to
investigate the immoral conduct
of the new mayor. There seemB
to be a plain open-and-shut case’
against him, and it is said that he
agreed to sign a confession and
promised to do better it the coun
vm —-M accept it.
A reporter for the News recent¬
ly interviewed Col, Lester on polit¬
ical questions The Colonel re¬
fuses to predict which will bo the
leading issue cf the next campaign,
free silver or expansion, but re¬
marks that “it is not worth while
to say as much about silver as
was done the last time. It was
unnecessary then, for that matter.”
Now, Colonel, den't talk too much
ahout the comiug issues, for you
don’t know what may be popular
next year, and you must be ou the
big side, you know.
Some of the papers are intimat¬
ing that Bryan is getting tangled
up on the Philippine question and
has changed position lately. Well,
you couldn’t expect him to “guard
his p’s and q’s” constantly on that
question—even a smart man is
liable to “get off his kerzip” on
that—but tackle him on finances
and he never slips nor varies. That
is one question he is master of, and
it really makes little difference
whether a man is consistent on
any others so he has something
well iu hand to dazzle the public
with.
Speaking of romantic elope¬
ments, one is reported in the papers
of a recently married young man
who became infatuated with a
young lady writer of sweetly-flow¬
ing verses. She wrote under a
pom de plume, and the young
man addressed her in care of the
publication in which the verses
appeared, congratulating her ou
her poetic ability. She thanked
Jiim for his kind words and a cor
raspondence ensued. Be it re¬
membered that he was a married
man, but he loved the fair young
stranger so well that he proposed
an elopement. The lady met him
at the appointed time and they
took the first outgoing train. Im¬
agine, then, his chagrin when,
after going forty fair miles to the
nearest town, the young poet
lifted the veil which had Concealed
her face and he beheld—his wife!
He has never eloped since.
A boat flothen-io«Law.
Gov. Bob Taylor, of Tennessee,
is writer. one fhe” iTet'S
there.” He takes up any subject
and brings something interesting
out of it, and along with his wit
ticisms he invariably rings in some
hard hunks of sense.
One of his latest subjects is
mothers-in-laws, which he handles
iu his usual clear style. That is,
he handles the subject, but when
it comes to the real live article of
a mother-in-law it may be dif¬
ferent—sbe may do the handling
instead. He he has
had great charity for the mistakes
of Adam, because he had no moth¬
er-in-law to curb him. If she had
been there, the forbidden fruit
would not have been eaten. All
the world would now be paradise;
the women would still be dressing
in sunshine, and the men would
still be clad iu climate. All the
ills we now endure are the fruits
of sin; all siu is the outgrowth of
the first transgression, and the
first transgression was committed
because there was no mother-in
law in Eden to forbid it. Satan
would have kept his distance if
Adam had been a son-in-law; and
even after man had fallen, the
Lord saw that he was prone to fall
still lower, and so he provided the
third person, singular, and named
her “mother-in-law,” to be his
guardian angel and watch him by
day and night.
“It has been the habit of mali¬
cious man from time immemorial
to speak disrespectfully of the
dear old spectacled angels, and to
refer to them as the embodiment
of tyranny and the personification
of terror.
*
“I once heard of a man who
said that his principal possessions
in fcui* were au a pp e tite and
a mother-in-law, and that lie had
never been able to satisfy either.
“I ba/e frequently heard it said
of sad and subdued-looking men,
as i have passed along iu life, that
they were suffering with a bad
case of mother-in-law.
. “All this abuse and all these
vicious attacks on the mothers of
our wives are mean and contempt¬
ible, and a direct reflection upon
our wives themslves. The sweetest
and purest and best woman I ever
saw, except my mother and my
wife, is my mother-in-law. Her
life has been a sacrifice to the
happiness and comfort cf her chil¬
dren, and so it is with most moth
ers-m-law. In nine cases out of
ten it could be appropriately and
truthfully said that she is suffer¬
ing from a bad case of son-in-law.
It a man is unkind, or even neglect¬
ful to his wife, he is pretty sure to
hear from his motber-in-law; that
is right. If he fails to provide for
his family she has a right to look
at him over the tops of her specta¬
cles and make the king’s English
crack like a cowhide around his
ears; if he wantonly spends his
evenings away from his own fire
side and comes home with snakes
in his boots, she has a right to
“stick her nose iu his business”
and her fist in his face, and it is
her divine right to “law down the
law” to him.
“1 he mother-in-law is the con
servator of peace, and not a dis
turber, as many bad men would
make it appear. She is the God
dese of Liberty enlightening the
little world within the four walls
of home; she is the Minerva of
the hearthstone; Jove is enthroned
upon her brow, and the Furies
sleep in tier eyes. Woe betide the
son-in-law who transgresses the
law of Jove! for then the righteous
Furies wake and leap like forLed
lightnings into the face of the
transgressor, and he is left in the
condition of the man who went
out west. News came back to his
dead.” The :
“Your son 19
old man telegraphed immediately,
“Send me hie remains;” and re
who does ^ his
“But to the man
faithful duty to his family, his
country and Ins God, the mo.her
in-law is a “thing of beauty and a
j 0 y forever.” She nurses his chil
dren and cares for them ; she stays
with them at night while he and
it is wife are at the party, she
nurses him when lie i 9 sick and
makes him swallow his medicine
one one time, time and ana cuts cuts off on all au iuum eommu
nication with the OUt-lde world

tors become too numerous and

and briinstome.

“My advice to every bachelor is
to get mother-in-law; . . , and i to

hears the sweet voices of welcome
there. The laughter and song of
little children, blood of his blood
and flesh of his flesh have never
been tangled with his life. He is
a living disappointment, and his

Wanted—Men With Backbone,
A little book'ei issued by the
New York Central railroad
fallen fallen into our hands. In
it there is a story entitled “A Mes¬
sage to Garcia,” which is taken as
as cue for the delivery ol some
wholesome gospel truth to young
men dependent upon their labor
for a likelihood. '
When war broke out between
the United States and Spain there
was great need to communicate
with Gen. Garcia, of the Cuban
forces. He was away in the moun¬
tain fastness of Cuba—no one
knew where. To get at him was a
well-nigh impossible undertaking,
and required a man of nerve and
shrewdness to do it. Some one
told the President, “There’s a fel¬
low by the name of Rowan who
will find him for you, if anybody
can,” Rowan was called in and
the mission explained to him. He
took the letter, sealed it iii an oil
skin pouch, strapped it over his
heart and iu four days landed by
night off th ? coast of Cuba in an
open boat and disappearjd in the
jungle. Ill three weeks he came
out on the other side of the island,
having traversed a hostile country
on foot aud delivered his letter to
Garcia,
When Rowan took the letter for
Garcia, he never asked “Where is
he at?” He went to find him.
The writer of the booklet referred
to, adds “there is a man whose
form should be cast iu deathless
oronze and the statue placed in
every college of the laud. It is
not oook-ieprmng young men need,
nor instructions about this and
that, but a stiffening of the veyte
bree which will danse them to be
loyal to a trust, to act promptly,
concentrate their energies-—do the
thing!
“One hears much maudlin sym-
pathy expressed for the down
trodden laborers and the homeless
wanderers searching for honest,
ilTel
plover who grows old before his
time in a vain attempt to find help
like Rowan — who goes ahead like
he meant to accomplish, his task.
