A zealous republcan wrote to
Carl Sehurz, who is now in Europe,
asking his support in this campaign.
This noble German-American, not
only refused to assist the republi¬
cans, but sent back a most excellent
defense of the democratic platform.
In fiie letter is found the following
paragraph: “In fact the protective
tariff and the trust are children of
the same parentage; the trust is the
younger brother of the tariff. The
springing up of trusts has put upon
the tariff question a new face. The
trust is extortion undisguised. It
bluntly bids the people ‘stand and
deliver.’ The efforts to obscure the
relationship between trust and pro
tective tariff will not succeed long,
if they succeed at all. No free and
spirited people will long endure
such combinations when their na¬
ture has once been understood.”

Why 1 Joe’ Left Georgia
Dr. Ilaygood on Oct. 9th contrib
uted this to the press: “A lady rel
ative in our family had a letter the
other day from the mountains.
She had lived in Fannin and the
letter was from that county. She
said to me : “Cousin Joe’s going to
Texas.” “For what?’ said I.
“Schools. Say’s he’s too poor to
educate his children, Texas has
good free schools and Georgia has
not.”
That settles it with Joe. Who
blames him? I doubt not Georgia
loses thousands of her stalwart sons
every year, just as she loses Cousin
Joe this winter. We can’t build the
state into an “empire” with ‘ three
months” public schools. We are
very much behind the age and very
wasteful of our school money. We
spend just enough to spoil private
schools, but not enough to make
good public shools. Your narrow,
ignorant, conceited, one-horse legis¬
lator calls it “economy.” barks -n
the role of watch-dog of the treasure
in order to secure more office from
an ignorant constituency.
But w y ho can blame him for oppo¬
sing a thoroughgoing public school
system? When his constituents
become fairly well educated he
will return to the legislature no
more. And ignorant as he is, he
has sense enough to know that his
people must be kept in ignorance.
Good luck to “Cousin Joe,” Tex¬
as will give his children good pub¬
lic schools through the whole
school year. Georgia gives poor
ones for three months.
The Courier-Journal strikes Beb
by this side lick :—“Bob Ingersoll
is not going to retire from tne Re¬
publican party because he has been
kicked by its cowardly managers.
He will never abandon a party that
taxes Bibles.

The Marriage Bells
Ghime out Merrily and Echo Sack
Cheerful Greetings.
“Happy they, the happiest of their kind.
Whom gentler stars unite, and in one fate
Their hearts, their fortunes, and their be
ings blend.”
Thursday night last recorded pos¬
sibly the happiegt and most fash¬
ionable event of the season. Jt
combined in a word the beauty, ele¬
gance, grace and charms of poetry.
The marriage bells chimed their
sweetest strains and an unbroken
stream of melody rolled forth. Un¬
der ciicumstances the most favora¬
ble and pleasing the destinies of
‘‘two minds with a single thought
and two hearts that beat as one”
plighted their union and pledged
their undying devotion to each
other.
Before night the Methodist church was
profusely decorated, and the mingling of
the shades and colors, the linking of
beauties and vines, gave the inside an
appearance two beautiful for description
The energies, art, tact and skill of Miss
Alice Lawson, assisted by Mrs, Dr Ros
rer, Mrs. A. M, Helms and Miss Kittie
Winbuin were heavily taxed to produce
such a scene of indiscribable loveliness
and beauty. Whither the eye turned it
rested, and feasted upon glories born
either of nature or of art.
Precisely at 8 o’clock the party ap
deared at the church and Mrs Davis, at
the organ, trilled the wedding march
With steady tread the bridal party took
position in front of the pulpit, Dr. Pierce
then in his usual diunified and impress¬
ive style joined Miss Fannie Pierce in
marriage to Mr. Charley Cain. The cer¬
emony over they went immediately to
their boarding hotiRe at Mr. Green Jones’.
The bride was handsomely attired in white
morie silk combined with white albatross made
with train; the bridal veil being looped back
with three whits ostrich tips.
The attendants were Miss Minnie Pierce at¬
tired in pink albatross with Frank Smith,
Miss Emma Reagin in nite‘green albatross
with C. B. Hudson.
Miss Cora Guinn in cream aloatross with
Will McKnight.
Miss Lula Willingham in light blue albatross
with Charlie Reagin. *
The ushers were Col. J. C. Barton, J. S. Dan¬
iel), W. E. McCalla, H. Y. McCord.
The little fairies that so gracefully opened
the flood gates were Bertha Danieil attired in
light blue albatross combined with lace; Sadie
Tuoker in pink albatross and lace.
In the language of a tender poet we express
our hearty congratulations in this beautiful
and appropriate stanza;
“All golden thonghts, all wealth of days.
Truth, friendship, lovo, surround you;
So may you smile till life be closed.
And angel bands have crowned you.”

Grand Old Emory*
Emory college opened Wednes¬
day Oct, 10th with a large attend
ance of students and entered upon
the fifty-second year of its existence
under very favorable auspices.
The new president, Dr. W. A. Cand¬
ler, and Mr. J. W. Roberts, the finan¬
cial agent of the college, have
worked zealously and faithfully in
behalf of the institution for the
past three months, and the laige
increase oi new students (of whom
there are about one hundred) is
proof of the fact that their work
was well done.
During the period mentioned Mr
Roberts has raised about twenty
thousand dollars for the loan and
endowment fund, and thereby se¬
cured educational facilities for a
number of young men who would
otherwise perhaps have been de¬
bar! ed the privilege of an education
