What Oup Reporters See, Hear and Think—A Little of Everything. A Letter to Uncle Edmund Kennedy. Bkag, Ga., August 25. Dear Uncle Edmund: Since noticing your card in the Times asking the support of the public, I felt it a duty to writo a few lines which will give you tho sentiments of every democrat in »ur district —tho 48th—and which is &aid to be one of the strongholds of the party of which you are one of the candidates. Now, Uncle Edmund, we are not going to vote fqr you for the sim¬ ple reason that you are a-straddle of the fence and seeking the sup¬ port of both parties. No; we could not vote for you if we be¬ longed to your little gang, because you strayed from your cap’n. Wo notice your card in two papers whose political views afe as far apart as you will be from tho tax collector’s office after the first Wednesday in October. You seem to want the pleasure of rep¬ resenting both parties, but such is impossible in Bulloch county. Some of your friends are claim¬ ing you to be such a good old man, as a reason why they want you elected, and are trying to catch democratic votes with that ture. Now, Uncle Edmund, we believe you are a right good man but one thing we are certain of and that is you are in a mighty sorry party and, of course, have got awful sorry company to asso crate with. Yes, they say he is a good old man, but we wish to say that Paul McElveen is the best man and we are going to elect him regardless of the many good things your friends may say of you. Uncle Edmund, we are not fight¬ ing you as a man and shall never do so, but we are fighting that third party to which you and shall always do so. It is quite true that you have one or two angels among you who are willing to do anything not becom iug to a trueeitizen who is looking to the future welfare and happi ness of their children not so much that they want to add any glory to your name or put a few nickels in your pocket, but merely to spite a party whom they will never conquer— the grandest orgamza tion on God’s green earth. Now, in conclusion, we ask you to consider carefully whore you are at and eee if you don’t think that you are iu the wrong place; then go home and talk to your wife about it, for I know sbe thinks you are in the wrong place, and take her advice for she is a good woman and repent and be saved before it is too late. Yours truly, Democrat Voter. —-• populists Coming Back Home. “lion. James R. Hogan, popu¬ list nominee for governor, ad¬ dressed a small crowd of people at Stillmore Tuesday.” “Hon. Geo. 1. Harwich, demo cratic candidate for representative, was on our streets Wednesday, No better man for this able posi tion could have been selected t lan Mr. Barwick, and he predicts an overwhelming democratic victory We clip the above two locals from the Swaiusboro News, organ of the populist party iu Emanuel county, Now when a populist acknowledges that their paper cubernatorial candidate had a email crowd of bearers yon may of certainty that he had know a and exceedingly slim turn out, an in such high terms then to speak stsssSs course that will be the wisest thing for them to do, and we con gratulate the News on its good judgment in leading the procession Without Opposition. It may be regarded as prac¬ tically settled that Col. Rufus E. Lester will be re-elected to Congress without opposition. The desire to oppose him may exist among a few, but the candidate is not to be found. Capt. M. J. Doyle stated yes¬ terday that the search had been unsuccessful. “You see,” said the captain “there are four necessary qual ifications. The man must be willing to be sacrificed; he must have some money or some friends who hav* money; he, or they, must be willing to put it up; and last, but not least, he must be a man who would make a fairly good run. The man who combines these qualities has hid out in the woods somewhere, and I am afraid we wont be able to find him until after the election.”—Morning News, Mr Doyle speaks here words of wisdom and it would be well for every populist and republi¬ can candidate in this section to ponder over these words carefully and act accordingly. Candidate Hogan. Candidate Hogan, who eojoys the unique distinction of being the Populist candidate for gov¬ ernor of Georgia, addressed the people of Effingham last night in the town of Guyton. The Sa vaunah Press gives a synopsis 0 f his remarks this afternoon, ft was not a strong speech and yet it was not a bad speech, If there was nothing new or particularly earnest in it, there was nothing vicious or particu larly abusive in it. Mr. Hogan jg * quiet, good easy man who has represented the county of Lincoln in the house for sev eral terms. He has served with credit, if not with distinction. He bears, so far as we know, a good name in his neighborhood but it was not necessary to listen to Mr. Hogan to realize that he will never be governor 0 f Georgia. He is spending these hot days and nights threshing over old straw. Three times have the people of Georgia passed upon these issues and repudiated them entirely. The Populist party brings nothing n ew. It offers no partial scheme of relief. It has abandoned, 0 ne by one, the various planks 0 f its platform, and Candidate Hogan now comes before the people with the obsolete plea for prohibition on one side and the general claim of oppo sition ou the other. It is nec¬ essary, says Mr. Hogan, to hav® an opposition of some sort in Georgia, therefore we tender you th.e Populist party. This is very vague and specieus. Prohibition is not a state issue and never will be. It has been turned over to local option and the people are thoroughly well sat¬ isfied with that disposition of it. As Colonel Candler said, in a letter to Mr. Hogan, prohib itiou is no more an issue in this campaign than the question of infant baptism. This matter wa« thoroughly canvassed by Mr. Seaborn Wright. Canvassed with all eloquence and earnestness of a new crusade, and a tre¬ mendous verdict was registered in opposition to it then. The people have seen no reason for changing their opinion now. If the Populist have only the merit of being an opposition party they are entitled to all the oredit and all the fun they can get out of this distinction, They are simply “agin the government.” Very well, let-it g° at that aud the frivolous mission of Candidate Hogan and his followers will soon be exposed.

A little boy who Is quite well ao Riwicted with .. tho . man who . keeps . a grocery on North State street happened to be in there the other day when the grocer was veighing out sugar. The white, glistening stuff appealed to the little fellow’s sweet tooth and he asked for a lump of sugar. The grocer laughed “The idea!" he said. “You mustn’t eat it. It will rot your teeth." "Why?” asked the boy. He had been told such things many times before, and many times before had he asked "why,” but never had he received a satisfactory answer. “Oh,” replied will the grocer v ’iy. "because it All sweet break the enamel on your teeth and rot them.” Then the boy arose in the might of his injured pride. “I don’t see,” said he, “how that can ba Sweet things ought not hurt any more than sour things, or bitter things or not so much, in fact. ” And the little chap was right. But he didn’t know it, nor the grocer didn’t know it. Consequently, it is just as well to enlighten them and at the same time correct tbe generally prevailing erroneous impression. Sugar and other sweet things in themselves do not hurt tho teeth—that is, it is not the equality of sweetness that is injurious, but the fine, sandy particles that abound even in the most highly refined sugar. These scratch against the teeth and break the enamel, but the innocent sweetness gets the oredit for all the damage.—Chicago Record An Admiral’s Orandson. One of Admiral Sampson’s married daughters, tho wife of Lieutenant Roy Smith, lives in Norwich, and bas a Small American of her own at the pub lio school, says the New York Mail and Express. The first time they sang “The Star Spangled Banner” in his room, the patriotic youngster rose to his feet, and there he stood reverently and resolutely till the song was over. That’s tbe naval rule, to stand un¬ covered when tbe great national anthem is sung or played. grandfather, With a naval father and he followed the laws of the service. It was rather an unusual proceeding, and his playmates undertook to guy the little patriot about it, but be stood hii ground like a hero. Tbe incident reached tbe ears of tbe local school board, and the order at onoe Went out that all scholars of Norwich must stand whilo the national hymn ii sang. __ What Puzzled Him.

Why they den t talk in B tongne Of their own BY THOMAS A. M’GREGC PRISONER IN ARMS.' Ohanolta sat on the rose covered poroh listening, but with inattentive ears, to tho marching and conn termarching of tho militia which was drilling in the block below. The troops wore hourly expecting a call to active service in tho war with Spain, but Chancita was not thinking of war, but of love. Tonight Manuel would come for his answer, and she had decided at last to give him her promise. Tho reproachful eyes of Tom Reilley haunted her, and "her qouscieuue remon¬ strated, but Chancita shrugged hor shoulders in disdain. It is truo she had encouraged Tom, had oven gone so far as to contemplato with pleasure the his possibilities of the three rooms over grocery, for the homemakiug instinct was strong in Chancita, but Tom was so hopelessly slow, unresponsive and as awkward as a schoolboy when she was kind, and when she openly scoffed at him ho had never a word to say in re¬ ply, but stood looking at her with a pained, uncomprehending look. Now, Manuel— the hot thought yood mshed of la to her cheeks at the fiesta and tbe moonlight walk in the park. She thrilled at the memory of the way Manuel’s arm had stolen around her and.his dark head bent over hers until his mustache brushed her cheek. She had resented the kiss with a blow, and then Manuel, seizing her hands, had kissed her again and again till she lay trembling and subdued in bis arms, But Ohancita’s thoughts were inter¬ rupted by Lupo Valencia, who came running down the street with a shawl thrown over hor head, Spanish fashion. "Chancita," she exclaimed breath¬ lessly, as soou as she was within speak¬ ing distance, “Mra La Spada has been arrested. She wrote a letter to the Span¬ ish premier"— "What folly I" interrupted Chancita, “Mrs. scratch Lqg$pn< her :1a with cannot so much and, as name , a pon, as for writing a letter"— "But ’tis truo. I was there when they took her. She cautioned me to say nothing, for 'twas Manuel who wrote it, and she would not betray him.” "And what then I Can we no longer write to Spain without arrest?" “Ob, the letter was opened at the poatoffleo. It urged the Spaniards to attack Santa Barbara; told how there was only one Gatling gun on tho coast south of San Francisco, and that all the troops were to be called away, leaving t»a defenseless. ” "The traitor,” exclaimed Qhangita, springing up. "The double dyed traitor. To enjoy the good things of a country and then—a stab in the back.” "Manuel hoped great things from the Spaniards—perhaps even a rancho In Cuba." "It was a regular Judas trick." Lupb ■ shrugged her shoulders and Slipped away, saying- b’Wqll, there was 00 harm done. I just come over «/ tell you ,tho news." "Mother," called Chancita through the open door, “if Manuel comes tell him he will find me near San Marco watching the drill." Manuel did not follow Chancita. He felt that be had received bis answer, and turned away with an angry light in his eyes and a enrse on his lips. His family was in too great disfavor for him to care to mingle in a crowd of loyal citizens. Reilley, although recruit, Toro a new was winning tho approbation of the officers hy his military bearing and the skill with which ho executed the ma¬ neuvers of the drill, but his heart was heavy, for to him enlisting had meant more than the mere facing of danger. It meant relinquishing the last hope of winning the beautiful Spanish girl whom lie loved. Suddenly he looked up and met Chancita’s gaze. Surely there was no anger there. Admiration shone in her eyes, and there was a wistful look in the drooping corners of her scarlet lips. Never had he seen her face so soft and tender. Forgetful of military disci¬ pline, Tom would have left the rankB and gone to her but for the sharp repri¬ mand of the captain, which recalled him to his duty. However, the drill was soon over, and Chancita, womanwiso, lingered. Walking home under the shadowy trees Tom carried his first assault against the Spanish. Never was an at¬ tack more sudden or a surrender mors complete What was said is a secret be¬ tween them and tbe stars, but Chancita found herself a prisoner within the bar¬ ricade of his arnia “And the banns shall bo published next Sunday," declared Tom triumph¬ antly. •"Why such haste?” “That I may have a wife to look after my interests at home,” said Tom, gazing tenderly at tbe sweet face rest¬ ing against his shoulder. And Chancita, smiling contentedly back at him, consented. —Boston Post, True Love In Kansas. In Kansas matrimony extends from the cradle to the grave.
