H. A. Scomp, the Professor in
the Greek chair at Emory College,
expressed his intention of visiting
Europe during the summer. As
soon as I heard of this I deter¬
mined to try to be one of the
Professor's party. True, it gave
little time for preparation; but
this would be more than counter¬
balanced by the companionship
°f Dr. Scomp, who is at all times
and palaces a perfect reservoir of
that kind of information which
a traveler enjoys. Be it said also

CONYERS, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1889.
at Conyers had been brought to a
close a little earlier than usual, to
keep me from having to leave be¬
fore the end of the term. A very
few days of preparation, and one
for telling good bye to relatives
and friends passed by, and then
came the 2nd of July, the day of
our departure, According to
previous arrangements I joined
Dr. Scomp on the noon train
towards Atlanta. By the middle
of the afternoon, having bought
tickets for the Richmond and
Danville route to New York, wo
were fast gliding along the Atlan¬
ta and Charlotte Air Line road.
We were swiftly passing away
from familiar scenes to those less
and less familiar. It was a pas¬
sage from the old to the new, it
was a moving out fora few months
from among things that we had
grown tired of seeing to a contem¬
plation of things which we had
long wished to behold.
We passed through Charlotte,
N. C., Danville and Richmond
Va., and on to Washington D. C.,
without any delay except for
change and connection of trains.
We arrived at Washington late in
the evening of the 3rd of July,
peril apis about 9 o’clock. Having
been some 30 hours on board the
cars, I had grown tired, and de¬
cided to rest that night in our
national capital, and go on next
day to New York. Being worn
out with travel, the change was
quite refreshing, though I suffer¬
ed more with heat than any other
night of my life, except the next
spent in New York.
Dr. Scomp having some impor
tant business with the State Line
Steam Ship Co., with whom he
had been negotiating for our pias
sage across the Atlantic, passed
on without stopping, and arrived
at New York about day next
morning. It being the fourth of
July, ho was disappointed, and
his going early did not pirevent
the disappointment.
Though many business houses
were open, that of the Steam Shipi
Co. was closed all day.
The morning of the fourth at
Washington I arose early, about
sun rise, and while waiting for
breakfast took a leisurely walk to
the capiital, than which few build
mgs of the world are grander of
more truly beautiful. I had the
pleasure of walking around it,
but being closed at that hour, I
could not enter.
After breakfast, about 8 o clock,
I went to the carshed, where I
waited for the Philadelphia train.
While there I was shown the spot
where President Garfield was
shot by that crank, Charles
Guiteau.
“All aboard for New York and
Philadelphia” was shouted by the
clear-voiced flagman, and soon J

S flat him do, and to that of
the book-keeper, but we found no
one whom we wished to see. I
then told the hackman to take me
to a hotel, which he did. I sup¬
pose we had driven in all three
miles. When I asked him his
charges, he said three dollars. I
replied that I should pay no such
charges, I asked how he made it
so much, adding that he must
have charged a great deal more
for the last part of the drive than
the first. He said yes, that the
first was under a special contract,
and that for the remainder of the
time lie had charged their regular
hack rates. I asked the hotel
proprietor about it, and he told
me it was too much, but said they
were allowed to charge that much.
I saw that I had been caught, and
after revolving the matter in my
mind for a moment, 1 decided to
pay it and let the rascal go. True
I had paid too much, but I had
learned the rule which every trav¬
eler must learn sooner or later,
namely, to “contract before you
ride.”
The night was exceedingly
warm, and I naturally felt a little
lonely. This was my first night
in the great city, and though there
was a friend near by, it would
seem almost an impossibility to
find him until next day. Howev¬
er, the night after awhile passed
away, and it being reported that
breakfast would.be a little late, I
walked to the office of the Steam¬
ship Co. where Dr. Scomp had
promised to meet me the day be¬
fore, and then return before
breakfast.
By this time I began to feel al¬
most acquainted with the city,
and my loneliness had compiletely
passed off, Dr. Scomp was not at
the office; hut he had been there,
and had left word that he would
be there again at a spiecifled hour
that morning.
Breakfast over, and
paid, with valise in hand I start¬
ed on foot—for I was not in a very
good humor with the liackmen—
to hunt Dr. Scomp. I found him
at the office. And I verily be¬
lieve he was gladder to see the
young man at that time than ever
before or since. Possibly lie was
afraid that the young man that
had been placed in his charge
two days before, had strayed away
and gotton lost. I had not been
lost, by any means; but somehow
was gladder to see the Doctor
then, though always glad to see
him, than at any other time in my
life. A word or two of explana¬
tion from each, and all was un
derstood.
Our steamer was to sail that af
ternoon; and we had so many
things to arrange, such as getting
choice berths, making our bank
deposits, obtaining our certificates
of the same, or “bills of credit as
we called them, arranging for
steamer comforts. etc. -that we

a good part of “the glorious

An old gentleman who was for
many years a member of the
Georgia legislature was in the
gallery of the House the other
day, when a friend asked him
what lie thought of that body.
“Well,” he said, “I guess it is

said of the legislature when I
was first a member in ’44, and

The Constitution settles the
race problem in the following
truthful statement: “Whenever
you find a colored man hard at
work and contented, you will find
a friend of peace and order and
ono earnest for harmony between
the races. Whenever you find a
negro who does not work; but
stands around with a big stick
under his arm and a cheap cigar
in his month, you find a firebrand
that seeks to kindle the flames of
any strife, for it is only in strife
that he can prosper."

The editor of the New York
Commercial Advertiser asked Mr.
Cleveland the other day what he
thought of the pdatforms adopted
and the candidates nominated by
recent democratic state c onven
tians. Mr. Cleveland said: “I
am very much pdeased, as every
other true democrat should be,
both with the utterances of the
conventions on national questions
and with the nominees. The
and the candidates stand
for sturdy democracy and for
honest, wholesome * tariff reform;
and they indicate that the Dem¬
ocratic party is in no mood for
time-serving, hand to mouth eva¬
sion. The democracy, believing
in certain principles, and satisfied
that the triumph of these pn'inci
pdes involves the prosperity and
well-being of the people boldy
announces them in full reliance
on the sober thought and the in¬
telligence of our countrymen.
Here is found the very essence of
democratic faith. This undaunted
courage, not born of expediency,
and this devotion to the people’s
cause, manifested not only in the
action of party organizations in
certain states, but in democratic
utterances all over the land is
sufficient to make us proud of
our party.

with deep regret by thousands in
Georgia. The voterans who

his skillful teaching and the ex¬
ample of his manly, Christian life,
the friends who knew him in
pleasant social life unite in de¬
ploring the loss of a good and
useful man. His health has been
failing for a year or two and his
death was not unexpected. He
had suffered for a considerable
time from cancer of the stomach
and knew that he must die soon.
Gen. Hill had a notable career.

he will inevitably sink to his true
