iOLID SOUTH. OHN R MADDOX. Editor. iATURDAY - - AUG 14, 1886. A Western poet begins a verse with “here let me lie,” just as if any¬ body could stop him while his license holds good. The New York Sun has discovered that President Cleveland is a big man, but that he has uncommonly small and elegant feet. “All's well that ends well.” He has a good six ed and very level head. A man in Dallas, Tex., shot at a stray feline that was caterwauling under his house. The ball glnnced from the cat, which was not serious •y injured, passed up through the iood and killed a friend of the shoot ir,who was visiting him. The people of Charlestown, Indi <na, don't stand any nonsense from iquor dealers. Under the pressure rought by a Law and Order club he saloons at Charlestown were clos¬ 'd some months ago. Friday Hatnil on Hanger opened a saloon, and dis dayed a modest sign over his door, ike this:” The Road to Hell!” .’bis created great excitement, and >11 day groups of angry citizens Hood on the street corners discussing he situation, and threatened trouble f the dj v * was not closed. Friday night Hanger was the recipient of a letter written with red ink. and •igned “Vigilance Committee,” or lering him to immediately discon¬ tinue the sale of liquor and forever remain away from Charlestown. Ha took the advice of the vigilants and haa disappeared. Boys who want to run away from home and be tramps should take warning at the experience of Frank Alien, of Lamar, Missouri. Frank was fourteen year old, had a rich father, a good home, some nice sis¬ ters and a kind stepmother. But home was too tame for Frank and a year ago he ran away with a tramp named George Hubbard, who told him he could make lots of money in the south. Frank came to the sun ny south, lived the life of a tramp, picked cotton nt times, and was a very accomplished kept sort of a vaga¬ bond. Hubbard the finances in hand, nnd is still keeping them. When lie got tired of the hoy, he let him go. Later Frank was robbed by auother “friend” and soon was taken sick at Memphis. He grew so had off that he expected to die. Then he had some one a rite to his father. The father went at once to Mem¬ phis and took the re|>entant prodi gal home. The New York Sun says: “It is Bow generally admitted by Republi cans that Air. Tilden was elected President. Ten years have produced a striking change in the feeliDg of all but the bitterest and most wrong headed of his opponents. The sense of justice of the American people was not appealed to in vain, and Mr. Tilden had the satisfaction in the last years of his life of knowing that the party which committed and pio fited by the crime, had ceased for the most part to deny or palliate eagerly it. Those who remember how and generally it was defended by the Republicans nine years age will un¬ derstand the change. To Air. Til den this changed attitude of the Re¬ publicans might seem like a tardy apology for a crime beyond apology and forgiveness. But no more strik¬ ing than the respect and honor which MrTilden’s political opponents services, show is for his character and his the deep and miserable general contempt has fallen into which the man who got by fraud the office to which Mr. Tilden was elected. For Hayes, even in {ris own party, there is no respect. The outcast of politics, he has no friends in any, and is regard¬ ed by all with the contempt which bis career and his qualities doserve.” An exchange gives the following good advice to seekers of true cul¬ ture: “Culture, dear boy, has come to be a cant term, and no end of nonsense and platitude has been written and talked about it since the day when Emerson made it the theme of Boston discussion. What you mean is cultivation. You want to know what is necessary to make you a cultivated man. Everything with¬ in the range of knowledge, of thought and of taste is necessary. All good books will help you to the end, and some which are not good books may assist yon in the way of comparison. Association with cultivated people and conversation with them are in¬ dispensable aids. The taste to dis¬ criminate the good from the bad in all art is essential. Social refine¬ ment is requisite. But nobody can know it all You can only learn a very little, but what you learn you learn thorough¬ ly. Be careful to read the books of the masters of the literary art, so that you will be insensibly affected by their style until you come at last to distinguish and prefer and require the superior sort. If you go to hear music, see to it that it is the music of the fereat artists, aud take pains to look at good pictures, for gradual¬ ly you will find yourself learning to **'joy them alone. And so in all ninge eeek the best and reject the poor Md commonplace.” PUT IT TOGETHER. Rev. T. DeWitt Talmagc says: “Gather up the money that the working classes have spent for rum during the last thirty years, and I will build for every workingman a bouse and lay out for him a garden, and clothe his sons in broadcloth and dress his daughters in silks, and stand at his front door a span of prancing sorrels or bays, and secure him a 1 i f e policy of life insurance so that the present home may be well maintained after he is dead. The most persistent, most overpowering enemy to the working classes is intoxicating li quor. It’s the anarchist of the een turies, it has boycotted and is now boycotting the body and mind and soul of Amerienn labor. It is to it a worse foe than monopoly and worse than associated capital. It annually swindles industry out of a large per centage of its earnings. It holds out its blasting solicita¬ tions to the mechanic or operative on bis way to work, and at the noon spell and on his way home at even¬ tide, or Saturday, when the wnges are paid, it snatches a large part of the money that might come to the family and sacrifices it lor whisky.” She had a lovely foot, and her vis¬ itors were admiring it. They were ladies, of course. A man who is not a shoemaker dare not mention such a thing unless they are alone in a dim corner of the drawingroom where no¬ body can everhear. “What a beautiful foot you have, dear!” “Yes. Pa says when made.” we go Europe he’ll have a bust of it An exchange says: “Weeds grow up all over the sidewalk. A hen set¬ ting in the midst of the weeds. That’s a dry town.” Alcn lying around loose; midnight brawls; pis¬ tol shooting; swelled heads; black eyes; wife beating;children begging for bread. That’s a wet town. The early origin of the habit of forming good resolutions is shown in the fact that every time Eve changed her dress she turned over a new leaf. President Cleveland has signed the oleomargarine hill that passed by congress, This bill places a rev¬ enue tax on oleomargarine and other substitutes for butter, and requires all such to be so labeled. Air. Ferdinand l’hinizy,of Athens, Ga., is worth near two million dol¬ lars. His income is $19,000 a month. He is as plain as an old shoe. In White county Monday Deputy Collector J. R. Ware seized a still, cap and worm, and 1,200 gallons of beer and mash, supposed to be the property of the Aloore hoys. Special Revenue Agent Colquitt seized a still, cap nnd worm, and a quantity of mash, three milles from Big SLanty, supposed to belong to Ben Slell. No arrests were made in either case. Bobby' enme into the house sob bing and told his mother that Tom¬ my White had kicked him. “Well, Tommy White is a very bad boy,” said Bobby’s mother, giving him a large him piece of cake. you?” “You didn t kick back, did “No,” re¬ plied Bobby, between bites, “I kick¬ ed him first.” An Indiana dispatch notices that the monument fund for Mr. Hen¬ dricks does not grow: “The fund thus far collected has not reached $15,000. There is no probability of the fuud reaching the $100,000 at first contemplated from popular sub¬ scriptions. The fund is going through the same experience that at tended the Morton monument fund The people are not greatly given to building monuments to dead men, however great they may be supposed to be.” A little boy was asked recently if he knew where the wicked finally went to. He answered, “They prac¬ tice law here awhile and then go to the legislature." It was a painful operation for that boy to sit down for a few days. The Congressional Record for the session just closed contains nearly ten stock thousand cyclone. pages—enough wind to a It is found at Washington that the most inefficient clerks have the most political influence. Yes, and the further and mortifying fact has been established that these clerks are republicans, and are kept in office by democratic congressmen. Tramps in some prrts of Colorado are flogged and ordered to “skip out.” The tramps never speak in high terms ofColorado hospitality. They will probably boycott the state. Glasscock county has bolted the nomination of John S. Davidson, for State Senator. The other counties want rotation while Richmond is dis[>osed to ask the lion’s share. Willis Hudson, for the murder of Marion MiUirons in August, 1885, in Clay county this state, was hanged at Fort Gaines last Friday. His half sister, Isabella Roney, is now serving a life sentence in the peni¬ tentiary for complicity in the same crime. A crank is said to be a man who continually thinks, talks and writes upon the only subject be does not understand.
