The Georgia excursionists who went to Nassau found the ocean rough and nearly all of them were sea sick. They did not enjoy the trip over but when they g<(t on land they were soon all right again. The new disease known as appendecitis is getting to be very common. Deaths from this fatal disease are frequently reported But it seems strange that women do not have the disease. Cbl. li. L. Berner was a guest of the Georgia Press Association on its recent trip to Florida. This does not mean that the Colonel is cultivating the news paper men, but he just hap pened to be on the trip. The Comptroller General has decided that itinerant photo graph artists must pay a tax of SIO.OO in every county in which they ply their trade. This is right, and a protection to home photographers who pay tax .on their property and their license.

It is to be hoped she has gome assurance of a bet 4ft time in the world to come, DEATH OF DAN VOORHEEB, The people of the South will learn with deep regret that this able statesman and friend of the South died in Washington last Saturday morning. He was iO yerrs old, and had been in feeble health for two years. While his term ns Senator did not expire until the 4th of March, on account of his feeble icondition he took but little ac tive interest in the proceedings m the Senate for a year or two Senator Voorhees was one of the ablest men in the Senate and had been in public life forty years, ns Representative and Senator from Indiana. He first came into public no tice by his celebrated speech at Charlestown, Ya., when he de fended young Cook, who was an accomplice of old John Brown in the mid on Harper s Kerry. Perhaps no speech in a criminal case in half a centu ry attracted more attention than his patriotic pica for this boy who was led into the crime of treason and murder by tin wild old abolitionist, John Brown. But tie* eloquence of the “tall sycamore” availed but little before a Virginia jury and the young man bad to sub submit to the inexorable de mands of the law. The Senator endeared him self to the Southern people by his bold and manly stand for the constitutional rights of the Southern States during the days of reconstruction. Allen G, Thurman,Thomas Hendricks and Dan Voorhees were the great Democratic leaders who braved public sentiment at the National capitol, and for year after year met the fanatical leaders of the North, then in the Hindi of power, upon the floor of Congress and defeated many wild schemes that look ridiculous in this day, with the light of future thrown back on them. They all lived to see the tri umph of the principles for which they fought. Hendricks died Vice-President and Thur man and Voorhees passed away in a green old age, honored even by those who had de nounced them as traitors to the flag. Honor to their memory! Three grand men who illustra ted in their lives the nobility of American manhood. HOWELL Hon. Evan P. Howell, who has been editor-in-chief of the Atlanta Constitution for twenty years, lias sold out his interest in the paper to 11. T. Inman and retires from journalism. Howell, Estell, and Pat Walsh have been the leading editors of Georgia for years. Evan, as our people know hiuti is one of the astute politicians of the State and he bus man aged to keep tile Constitution in the front ranks as a great southern newspaper. His ex tensive acquaintance and large circle of personal friends in every section gave him excep tional advantages in keeping posted with current events and his paper had the knack of catching on to coming events that always made it interesting if somewhat sensational. It is reported that hereoieved a cool SIOO,OOO for liis interest in the great paper. Well, he retiris pretty well fixed and can afford to take a rest. Blit lie will he heard from again. Mark that! GIVE PROPER CREDII’. We have never stickled about our brethren of the press appro priating the editorials of the IIkk.U.D. We liavo been used to this for lo! these many years, hut we do insist that if they pro pose to give credit for the ar ticles taken bodily from our columns that they do so cor rectly. Our attention litis been called to a number of articles revisitly credited to other journals. Some times to one and at others to different papers. This is not exactly fair. All we ask is fair pi»y- __ Knoxville, Tenn., had a mil lion dollar tire last Wedru sday night. The flames swept through the business part of the city. The hotel Knox was de stroyed. This is a large hotel and there were many guest, who hurriedly ran from the burning building. In the confusion many were injured. Some of the guests jlimited from the fifth story only to find certain death. The tiremau rescu 'd a I number by taking them down ladders. It is staled that Id people lost their lives. FREE SILVER DEMOCRACY SWEEPS THE FIELD. The Republicans are not only startled imt have nearly jumped out of their boots at the tidings that come from the West in the recent elections. “From Ohio andjlllinoiscomes the glad tidings that' Hip De mocracy lias swept the field and the Republican majority of last fall wiped out. Carter Harri son, the regular Democratic candidate for mayor in Chicago, got more votes than all his op ponents —Republicans, gold bugs, independents. His plu rality was 77,760, and his ma jority over all 2,222. And the Democrats will have a majority of eight in the city council. I)i Ohio the tide is turned and Hanna feels that with all his money and masterful man ipulations the scuatorship is about t«> slip from him and go to John R. McLean, the veteran editor, who can spend money if necessary. He came very near being run for Vice-President with Brvan and would have been nominated but for the fact that tile convention desired au Eastern man. The free silver men are mak ing the issue sharply in every election and in the next presi dential election will swoe p tl |e I count rv. WAR INEVITABLE. The long looked for war be tween Greece and Turkey has actually begun. The groat European powers that under took to maintain an armed peace by threatening to inter fere to prevent the Greeks from attacking the Turks in Crete, seems to have failed in their efforts, and a Grecian army has crossed the frontier and begun hostilities. This will bring an open declaration of war from the l’orte, who claims to have tried to maintain the peace. The result of this invasion will, it. is feared, precipitate a general war. While the gov ernments of England. France, Fcssia and Italy hold up the cause of Turkey,it is well known that the people of those conn tries sympathize with the Greeks and will readily aid them in the struggle, and it may cause a general war vet. The world is against Turkey. Iler barbarous slaughter of the Christians for the lust year in Asia lias stirred up an enmity from the iicasnnts to the nobil ity, and the power of govern ment to restrain the people will be tried to its fullest extent. Popular sentiment cannot al ways be restrained by govern ment in England, Franco, or in this country. The report that Gen’l Rivera had been shot by order of a drum-head court martial turns out to he a mistake. Gen’l. Woyler is not disposed to hang or shoot just now. It might c implicate matters. He is held as a prisoner of war and can In put in their filthy dungeons where he will soon die and this will give no excuse for interven tion by our government. Since McKinley was inaugu rated the Spaniards have not felt as safe as they did while (fluey managed the foreign of fice at Washington. John Sherman comes of fighting stivk and might feel disposed to send a war ship or two to watch tint Spaniards.

THE RISING WATERS. The streams in the West con tinue to rise and great appre hension is felt in New Orleans for the safety of the city. The immense body of water corning down cannot find outlet suffi cient and tin# strong levees that form the only protection to the city are in danger. Thousands of men are employed piling sand bags on the levees to strenghen them. All along up the river as high as Cairo the danger is great. The state and city authorities and tlie people are working night and day to prevent other breaks. These levees have to be guarded day and night to prevent their being blown op by men from the opposite side of the river. The whole coun. try is under water. People have had to flee from their homos and drive their stock to the ridges. Many of them without other shelter are living in tents provided bys the state. No record has been kept of number drowned or the loss of stock, out they have been very heavy. Thousands of people suddenly run out from their homes by the breaking of a levee were not able to carry provisions with them and are in a starving condition. Relief boats are constantly being sent out to rescue and feed the peo ple who are cut off. HOMICIDE IN MACON. Charles Reid, an employee of the Macon Telegraph, shot and instantly killed W. L. Halstead in Macon last Wednesday. Reid’s wife had gone to a cir cus where Halstead sold tickets for reserved seats, and she stat ed to her husband that Halstead insulted her as she left the show by asking permission to visit li"r that night. Who hunted Dp her husband and told him of the insult, and he procured a shot gun. In company with his wife and a friend, they went to the show and Mrs. Reid pointed out Halstead as the man who had insulted hfr. Without saying a word to Halstead, Reid raised liis shot gun and put the whole loan in to liis victim’s breast. He simp ly turned and fell and died in a few minutes. Reid was arrested and locked up and is still in jail waiting the action of the grand jury. It is believed that Reid’s wife and the man who went with him will all be indicted for the murder. Halstead’s wife lives at Clark ston, in DeKalb county, and the reipaii.s of her husband were sent there for burial. Halstead canto to Georgia last year, and had been con nected with the Atlanta Com mercial for some time. He afterwards went to Columbus, where he joined the show. CORRI I'TION EXPOSED. The Senatorial race in Ken tucky, that has kept that State stirred up for tho last year, is developing some startling sto ries of corruption. The reader will remember the long session of the Legislature a year ag » when the contest was on for U. S. Senator and the Demo crats wen*in the majority, and Joe Blackburn was a candidate to succeed himself, oppossd by Dr. Hunter. The Democrats then had it in their power to send a Democrat to the Senate, but Carlysle, Cleveland & Co., the leaders of the gold bug eh - incut of the country, deliber ately planned to defeat Black burn because he was a free silver man, and turn the State ovor.to the Republicans. The tight is again renewed for the vacant seat,and Hunter lacks only two or three votes of a majority. Determined to succeed, he lias attempted to bribe members to vote for him, and the caboodle has been in dicted by the grand jury. Kilt lire, developments will be rich, rare and racy. —— A MONUMENT AT LAST. Uon’l. Grant was recognized is the great military commaud r in the Kith rul army during 'i he war. And strange to say hat it is thirty years after the •lose of hostilities that a mon intent is to bo erected to bis iiemory. On the 27th of April the nonument will be unveiled in he presence of the President, lis cabinet and many of th« state Governors. Foreign o un tries are preparing to assist, in lie grand display, and several mtiniiH have ordered ships to , 'C present to take part in the AdVise*. COLLISION ON THE SOUTHERN, TWO PAHgRXOER TRAINS COLLIDE • NEAR CHARLOTTE. Two passenger trains on the Bout I crn Railroad collided near Hanwirg last Sunday. Ti e trains were the fast mail which left Atlanta at 11:50 Sunday night and the South bound passenger which left Richmond Sunday morning. The East-bound train con sisted of nine cars: two express cars were next to the engine, then came two postal cars and a baggage car, nbd following them the passenge r cars. The East-bound train was behind time and intended to take the siding at Hamburg. The other train had stopped at Concord to get wat *r and was behind in reaching Hamburg. The trains were running at full speed, and neither engineer realized the danger until they were coming tog. i her. Strange to say, none of the passenger cars left the' track, and the passengers were uniii jured except a severe shaking «P- The dead are: Will Donald son, (iromau; J. C. Benton, mail agent; .1. C. Kenney, en gineer, who will die; W. B. Tunslate, engineer, badly scald ed but may recover. Several others were badly injured. The- engines were torn into a mass of wreckage. The ••ell of one engine was thrown into a tree some distance away. The crash was heard for miles and sounded like a clap of thunder. THE DIVINE HEALERS. Recently we see a great many accounts of the healing of dis eases by the faith cure or in some mysterious way. The public is disposed to look on the extraordinary healing us humbug, but the fact remains that a number of chronic dis eases have been cured in some supernatural way. Deafness of years standing have been healed. The lame have been made to walk and throw away their crutches. Many wonderful cures are attested by reliable people. llow it is done—what influences are brought to b<>ar is a question that mystifies the public. They Macon Telegraph is cer tainly 0.-i a boom Its adver tising columns show that the home people appreciate its col umns. Its editori il and news columns show that it has taken on new life and is reaching out to the front ranks in Georgia journalism. General Morgan of Alabama, though quite au old man, seems to retain the life of youth, and liis terrible arraignment of the Spaniards in the Senate of the United States makes him the warm friend of every Cuban sympathiser from ocean to ocean. _ The Governor anti C.l*. Byrd have decided to let the children marry in proper form. The first marriage a'is considered illegal, l>nt the young people went, to Chattanooga last Sat unlay and were to ho re-married hy a regular minister in that city, and return home to begin life under more favorable aus pices. In these days ii is fashionable for enterprises t to go into the hands of retrieve ■The latest •idea is for a military company to ask that a remover be ap pointed. The Gate City guards of Atlanta, one of the oldest military organiz'd ions of the ci'y, Inis asked Judge Lumpkin to appoint a receiver for the Company.

He came near hav ing a serious accident at St. Augustine. After making a speech from the hotel piazza tlie crowd rushed up to shake hands with the speaker and the piazza fell, carrying down hun dreds of people some twenty te t. Among them was Mr. Bryan, who was considerably bruised but suffered noseiious damage. He took a trip on the Tlirei Friends, the famous block ade runner, but did not whip for Cuba. L-ino Off) • ,4T &.
