Sheriff Hurst of Thomas county
dreamed that the prisoners in the
jail were plotting to escape. An
investagation proved that his
dream was true, the prisoners be¬
ing provided with sharpened nails
with which to cut through the wall.
The sheriff had previously had a
similar dream and experience.
The last discovery was made Sat¬
urday.
A number of/gentlemen in and

A lady well known in Atlanta
was dressed to attend a grand
wedding which occurred at one of
the prominent churches, when, to
her dismay, she saw one of her
front teeth break off close to the
root. It was too late to seek a den
tist, and then there was no time to
have it fixed anyway; but she de
termined not to be kept at home
from the reception and ceremony.
Putting her woman’s wits together
which never fail in time of need,
she concluded to stick the tooth
.on until the morrow with beeswax,
and then seek a dentist. The idea
pleased her. It was a happy
thought. So fastening it on se
curely she proceeded to the church
and from the church to the recep
tion, which was being held at the
house. When she entered the
uiug room all thoughts of the
cident and the remedy vanished,
tmd it was not until she had drunk
a f „P of hot coffee <uHl-swdl.tr.
ea the tooth that she realized her
sad plight.

Cigarette Smoking. >
Cigarette smoking has become
so prevalent among our boys that
its deadly bane lias led some of
our legislatures to pass acts “pro¬
hibiting the sale of cigarettes or
tobacco in any of its forms to
minors.”
Dr. Hammond says: “Cigarettes
produce facial neuralgia, insom,
nia, nervous dyspepsia, sciatica
and an indisposition to mental ex¬
ertion.'’
Cigarettes are beginning to
overshadow all other branches of
the tobacco business, and our
most eminent physicians agree in
condemning cigarette smoking as
one of the most obstructive evils
that ever befell our youths, and
declare that its direct tendency
is a deterioration of the race.
Even females who call themselves
ladies habitually use cigarettes.
The New York Tribune asserts:
“The extent to which drugs are
used in cigarettes is appalling.”
—Philadelphia News.
When he was in the Senate of
the United States Benjamin Har¬
rison made several good speeches,
but the best thing he said while
a Senator was this: “One dollar
voted by the people of any school
district for the support of common
schools is worth S10 given out of
the treasury. It evinces an inter¬
est in education, and guarantees
a careful and intelligent supervis¬
ion. Only a local supervision will
bring these constituencies that
are now so backward in the race
of education abreast with other
states. In my judgment, there
could be no worse policy than to
throw in a single year into those
states $15,000,000 out of the
national treasury.” Senator Blair
will hardly have an overpowering
influence with the next adminis¬
tration. His educational bill lias
been dead for some time, but re¬
cent events have tightened the
screws in its coflin.
New York has discovered an
old manuscript of some kind
which it is attempting to foist on
the world as a copy of the decla¬
ration of independence. One of
these days some Gotham sharp
will turn up with the original Ten
Commandments. It seems to he
in the East river air.
More outrages by “white caps”
in Ohio are reported, showing
that the valiant Governor Fora¬
ker has not crushed them out as
completely as he boasted the other
day. He then said that he knew
them all; that “they were divided
into lodges, and the entire order
was under a general officer known
as a ‘colonel.’ There were nine
lodges in Ohio, with a member¬
ship of about 1,000, among whom
were many of the best citizens of
the communities in which they
were organized.’ That is a larger
number of ku-klux than even the
most unscrupulous, lying repub
fican ever cliargod upon Georgia
fn reconstruction times, Will
Governor Foraker invoke the Fed
eral constabulary or military to
aid him in suppressing this fresh
outbreak by Ohio s “best citizens ?
Trinity church in Atlanta has

The Covington Tragedy. m
There is considerable gossip
and some newspaper reports as to
what Mr. Samps Colien has said
about the Pitts House tragedy,
but whether he gave expression
to the words reported we know
not. The Solicitor General do
clines to state what Mr. Colien
said to him as to the guilt or
cenee of Mr. C. H. Echols. Wo
hope no newspaper will sit as
judge and jury on this case
after the courts have had an op
portunity to go into a full and
thorough investigation. Admit
ting that Mr. Samps Cohen has
“talked and what lie said is "very
damaging to Mr. Echols,” it
be time enough to take it as con
elusive evidence, when the same
is delivered on oath in a court of
justice. Mr. Echols is in jail and
if he is found guilty of this crime
will have to pay the fearful penal
ty with his life. Until he is given
a trial before the courts of his
country we think it unwise to give
publication to every rumor put in
circulation. However, anything
and everything which can throw
any true light on that unfortunate
and brutal tragedy should not he
withheld from the public or the
courts, who want direct and posi¬
tive evidence and* not testimony
founded on rumor or hearsay
without facts to sustain it.
An application for bail was
made by Mr. Echols’ attorneys, on
Monday, in Atlanta, before Judge
Harris, of the Coweta circuit.
Judge A. M. Speer, Col. J. F.
Rogers and Major J. M. Paco ap¬
peared for Echols. Col. Vt : S.
McHenry, Judge E. F. Edwards
and Solicitor General Womack
represented the state. No new
facts wore brought out during the
hearing.—The motion for bail
was not granted or denied when
we went to press.—Covington En¬
