OF THE PRINCIPLE: “EQUAL RIGHTS TO ALL MEN AND SPECIAL
Conyers, Georgia, Saturday, August 29. 1891-
False and Fair.
The Sea throbs like an opal puls¬
ing with light. Pale clouds flock the
fa int green skj% sighs Life, and aloDg
the| shores the wastes aie afire with
the hearts of daisy wheels.
“I love you and I do not lovs you.
It is hard to forgive!” he says
moodily.
“It is for you to decide,” she rep¬
lies lightly, shaking the sand from
the folds of her gown. She rises,
and they saunter on together, yet
apart.
“If you cannot be faithful to me
now—how can yon then?” and the
roan's vexed eyes studied the sensi¬
tive face half hidden beneath its
scarlet gauze hat aDd blazing pop¬
pies.
“There need pe no ‘then’—if you
lik e,” the scarlet pouted lips make
answer.
“You would break our engage¬
ment?”
“Perhaps, It was a small crime
for you to makesogreat a fuss about.
You leave me for a week—I meet a
companionable man in the interval
—we grow a trifle chummy—”
A trifle chummy! he groans.
“Well, to chummy', if you like,
W e walk, we drive we swim together.
He vow. Finally we part. His
vacation is over. We have a beauti¬
ful scene—worthy of Balzac. He
begs a lock of hair. He wishes to
enshrine my memory. I have not
the slightest objection. Snip. It is
his. He disappears, mumbling and
kissing it. You retnrn. I tell you
all. You rage and spoil a beautiful
morning. ”
“You have destroyed my confiden¬
ce in you?” he mutters.
She tips her big bat slightly and
turveys him cautionsly from beneath
its flapping brim. She is fair to
look upon and she knows it. “I will
not tell him—next time,” she whis¬
pers to herself.
“I loved your subtle nature, I loved
your very perverseness, I loved your
very name,” he resumes. “I shall
probably continue to love you—
some; but .never again as before.
Yon have deceived me! A lock of
your hair—to that cad! The very
thought is madness! He possesses
a part of you —tine woman I am to
call my wite.”
“Why, no he dosn’t it!”
“You yourself said!”
“Said what?”
“That yon gave him a lock of your
hair—that day upon the sands—
these sands.” . ,
“You mistook me; I said a lock of
hair.” ■
< l Wby play with words.”
“But, love, look in my eyes. It
was only a lock of my switch.”
“ADgel! So you are not false!”
“Of course not—only my hair”
And the great sea loses its color,
foe sky waxes dim, awhile it takes
the whole long shore to hold such
rapture.
Mrs. Mary Hale, who lives about
one mile this side of Salem, died sud¬
denly at the campground Thurday
night. She was tenting and had just
returned to the tent from the night
service and was sitting down talking
when she expired The cause was
supposed to have been heart disease.
Her remains will be buried today at
Shiloh.
“Kansas alliance gone to pie¬
ces” is the news about every
three days. Kansas, however,
has 200,000 more alliancernen
than she did one year ago. How
is that for going to pieces.
WHERE HE WAS FIRST SEEN.
The coroner was satisfied that
some one was to blame. It might be
the railrord company, it might be
the engineer; it might be the conduc
tor; it might be the dead man. That
was what the coroner proposed to
find out, and being fully impressed
w^th the gravity of the occasion he
rose from his seat, struck an easy
attitude with one hand resting on
the table; and loosing at the engin¬
eer over the top of his glasses said
with some seventy
“You were running pretty fast?
The engineer it> the witness chair
didn’t seem to be at aH disturbed.
He crossed his legs, leaned back in
the chair and answered carelessly:
“We were making pretty fair time.
“Running faster than usual!
“Some. We were behind time.
“Making fifty miles an hour.
The engineer was cautious. He
the speed was limited when
running through certain towns on
road.
“We 1 ! I wasn’t keeping the time,
he said.
“Was the bell ringing and the whistle
sounding?”
“I suppose so. That was the fire¬
man’s business.
“Didn’t you hea r it?
“Oh, I wasn’t listening.
The coroiuer let that pass and
squared himself for a last attack.
‘’Did you see the man! he asked,
shooting a finger out in the dSection
of the engineer.
The engineer looked at the finger
a moment curiously and then blandly
asked: 7
“What man?
“The dead man, sir, the dead man
Don’t trifle.”
“Ob, yes, I saw him.
Now, sir, be careful what you say.
Take plenty of time to think. The
coroiuer was most impressive.
“When and where did you first see
him!
The engineer puHed bis mustache
thoughtfully for a moment.
“ You want me to be exact? he ask
ed. “I do.
“It’s pretty hard to estimate dis->
tance you know.
“Of course; but a great deal de¬
pends on it in this case. Do the best
you can.
The engineer pulled his mustache
a little more. Then he said;
“I won‘t be sure as to a foot one way
or other, but my best estimate would
be that when I first saw him he was
four and a half feet above the smoke¬
stack. “
The Macon Fair and Exposition
Company has received subscriptions
to the amount of $6000. An ad¬
ditional amount of $4000 is need
ed.
A London authority estimates for
Bradstreet’s the European wheat
shortage at between 281,000,000 and
320,000,000 bushels. The wheat
surplus in the United States and
Canada will probably reach 225,000,
000 bushels, and Europe will pay a
good price for it.
Old Hutch smilingly admits that
there is a good deal of truth in the
claim that his mind is not so clear as
it might be, and cites as a proof the
fact that he only made a million and
a halfout of the wheat deal, when he
ought to have come out with five
millions.
Senator and Mrs. Gordon left
Monday for New York. His
“health is not sufficient yet to
tackle the alliance elephant.
THE CONFEDERATE HOME.
The sober judgement of the peop'e
of Georgia will settle down to the
conviction that the defeat of the bill
to accept i be Confederate Horae as a
State institution.was the best dis¬
position that could be made of that
question. No one doubts that the
movement to establish this charitv
had a noble purpose, and the liberal
ity of those who contributed to the
purchaseofthe beautiful groundsand
the erection of a handsome and com
modions building, is worthy of all
commendation, but so far as the
Georgir veteran is concerned it has
all along been urged, and it must be
admitted now that the movement
was a mistake, The Georgia veteran
however lacking in means he may be
loves nis own home, however humble
that may be, and loves the compan
ionship of his neighbors. We have
never believed, and do not now, that
any considerable number would be
willing to become a charge on the
State, and quarter themselves in a
public charity institution. And
who shall say that it is not an hon
orabie pride becoming the men who
fought our battles in the purest and
most fearless patriotism, shirking no
danger, and baiting at no sacrifice?
These are not the men to ask, or ac¬
cept, public charity.
The State must discharge her
dnty to her old soldiers by such li
beral pensions as her purse will war
rant. The pension is not a charity,
but a debt owed the brave and faith
lul soldier by the State. Aa he
grows older, and less able to care for
himself, the debt grows larger. Let
Georgia see to it now and hereafter,
that she discharges this debt honest
ly, as well as gratefully, as it
matures each year, according to her
Ability to pay.
The acceptance of the Confederate
Home under the terms proposed,
might or might not have proved a
a good investment, for the State, as
to dollars and cents, but surely that
question was not one at all worthy
of consideration—Columbus En

SNEAKING MEAN.
Mr. Editor: I want to say a few
words in refference to this dog poisn*
ing businesss. I had the misfortune
of losing a good and obedient dog the
other day, and one that was never
known tp. prowl around and molest
nobody. The poisr-ng of him came
veiy near proving serious to an entire
farady of people. The madeious and
cowardly scamp scattered the poisned
beef so promiscuously over the
yard that the chickens got hold of it
and I was just in the act of killing one
to eat when all of a sudden it began to
flounce and flutter as if having fits
aud soon died. This was caused from
the eating of the poisned beef.
Half of the dogs that are poisned
is not done from a fear of hydropho¬
bia, but with an intent to gratify that
mean and cowP v cHy want to do some
one a personal injuiy. No one but
the most infamous character would
be guilty of poisn ; ng a dog in such a
maimer. Near ly eveiy case of hydro¬
phobia that you hear of oiigiuat.es
from the poisning of dogs by thEse
vile aud dirty scoundrels There is
no punishment to severe for they
that are gu’Uy of snefd' : ng abound and
poisirng dogs ; n peoples,s yards.

Work.
A loafer! The very worst name
that can be applied to a young man.
And it is the most inexcusable thing
in the world, too.
You must work in this weld if you
expect to keep up with the procession.
Whether you handle a pick or boe,
clerk or book-keeper, farm or merchan¬
dise, digging ditches or editing a pa
per, and so on into every vocation of
life, you must work.
Look around you aud you will see
what has been accomplished by those
who have worked and are still work-,
ing. You will find that the men who
are best able to live the rest of their
lives without work are the ones who
have worked the hardest.
Don’t be afaaid of killing yourself
with work. It is beyond your power
to do that. Men cannot work so hard
aa that on the sunny side of thirty.
They die sometime, but it’s because
they quit work at 6 p. m. and , don't
go home until 2 a. m. It’s the inter¬
val that kills. Work gives an appe¬
tite for meals; it lends solidity to your
slumbers; it gives the appreciation of
a holiday.
There are youug men that do not
.
work, but the world is not proud of
them. It does not even know their
names; it simply speake of them as old
So and So’s boys. Nobody likes them;
nobody hates them; the great, busy
world doesn’t eveB know that they are
here. So find out what to be and do,
take off your coat and make a dust in
the world. The busier you are the
less deviltry you will be apt to get
into, the sweeter ' il! be your sleep,
the brighter and happier your holidays
and the better satisfied will the world
be with you.—Fort Valley Enterprise.
The Columbus Enquirer Sun is at
it agara. It says: “The Atlanta
coirespondents of some of the North¬
ern papers seem to be in some igno¬
rance of the attitude of Senator Gor
don towa v ds the A bianco, and the
reports sent out by them last week
about the demand made on the Sena¬
tor for bis views on the Ocala plat¬
form were misleading. These repoits
seek to convey the impression that he
shirked the issue, and was afraid to
speak out to the Alliance on the sub.
jectof the Oca la platform. The facts
do not sustain these reports.General
Gordon has never been in the habit
of shirking. At a recent most critical
period ’o bis political career, unsolici¬
ted, he gave the Alliance a free and
frank, and fell expression of bis views
on the Abiauoe demands, when he
knew that tf, would bring down on
him a great dee! of bitter opposition.
He fought our, bis caud'daey for the
United States Senate on that 1: ne and
won a great Victory.'’ The Eoqivrei
Sun knows veiy well that Gordon be¬
longs to the eUianee and being a mem
ber of that organization the conven¬
tion [had a light to know where he
stood on the demands. Gordon waspn
the convention when the resolution was
passed and he d>d sir * k his plain duty
when he rememed sfiieni when he wrs
asked to speak. It is true that at
one tone Gordon d ; d sit dowo on the

he didn’t say it. Before Ins election
