6 TALK OF THE GOVERNORSHIP. (.ENTLEHCN WHO ARE WFATIOAEI) FOR THE >EXT TERR. Hoko Smith.

Aug 23.—The race for the guberna r<el liomu a lion swo years hence seems ties in and to b- ;un far in advance of the elcv.-on. In epiie (f'this, .*.nd the absence of one < f : s uppos* and candi date- i ; Europe, th re no end of taik among he politic ars, \\:o arc* trying to measure the strength of :hc* men in the race size up the winner and trim their sails accordingly. Pope Brown his gone to Hawkinsville for ten day a and there, ao or ing to his friends, the formal • nnounc ment of his candidacy, which is now in preparation, will he in order. The reason for his an nouncement at this time is that he thinks, so it is said, the public has mis understood h s ar p.ance of a position :>n the Railroad Commission. Hereby hangs a tale. For some time it has been understood among poli-ician* that Mr. Brown would be in the race for Governor, when the term of the present incumbent expires, but when he accepted from Gov. Candler an appointment as Ituilroad (' mmisssion er. a great many people construed that act as a retirement from the guberna torial rac . Some went so far as to hint that there was an unde s andirg to that effect between the Governor and Mr. Bri wn. Asa matter of fact, the tender of the office to Mr. Brown was unconditional, 3nd Information comes as straight as the crow fliea, that when the tender was made, Mr. Brown accepted with the stipulation that he should have the right to resign the office of Railroad Commissioner two years hence, if he desired, to make, the race for the governorship. To this the Governor made no objection, saying that he tendered the* appointment f o Mr. Brown solely because he thought him a proper man for the position. On that statement the offer was accepted and Mr. Brown Inhume the successor of Col. L. N. Trammell. i'iibli<* Misunderstood. But the public did not know of this and a great many people thought Mr. Brown had been side-tracked in favor of some body. Some went so far as to say he had got out of the way for Clark Howell. This is so far from the fact that Mr. Brown is, if anything, more directly op posed to Mr. Howell than to any other candidate. But this misunderstanding of Mr action by the public has made it necessary-, in the opinion of his friends, for Mr. Brown to take the people into his confidence and tell them Just what he Is driving at. That In brief, is the gubernatorial chair. Charles Howell Will Han. Equally straight comes the information that Hon. Clark Howell will be in the race. A gentleman who has been closely associated with him for years made the statement a few days ago that Mr. How ell would undoubtedly run for Governor two years hence. The fact is that Mr. Howell has been lay-lng plans for the race several y-ears. His nomination for state senator from this district was followed by the commit ment of a majority of the Senate to his election as president of that body-. He was speaker of tile House ten years ago and that gave him a wide acquaintance with politicians. Tq be president of the Senate will be anew point of vantage. At present Mr. Howell is atxsent in Eu rope on his bridal trip, and wise politi cians say this trip will not only be pleas ant, but decidedly convenient from a po litical standpoint. It is a great relief to a man running a two-year race to be out of touch with his fool friends for n good long time—and every politician has fool friends. Another candidate for Governor is the Hon. Joseph Terrell,- attorney general of the state. Mr. Terrell belongs to the Meriwether school of politicians, played marbles with Warner Hill, and went to school with Gov. Atkinson. All of them ■went to school to that old Nestor, Will iam T. Revill. Mr. Terrell was the trusted adviser of Gov. Atkinson and along with librarian Jim Brown, was almost always consulted on important occasions. But. Mr. Terrell is different from Gov. Atkinson in many respects. He is more of a diplomatist. Gov. Atkinson was a great political chess player, but Mr. Terrell is good at other things! He is one of the boys and knows them by name. As Sam Jones says, when he does not know their names, he knows their number. Mr. Terrell was spoken of for Governor two years ago and had the matter under consideration, but decided to stay out of the race. This time, it is said, he is in it to stay, hut he has made no formal an nouncement. He has friends all over the state among people who have been about the Capitol and the Legislature and is well-known as a lawyer. Hoke Smith file n t ionctl. One of the incidents that make men prick their ears is the recent mention of Hoke Smith's name in connection! with the gubernatorial race. Rev. J. T. Gibson, who is running a newspaper at Cedartown, In the last Issue nominated Mr. Smith for Governor, and said he was head and shoul ders above the small politicians and would beat them ail hands down. This seems to have been done without consulting Mr. Smith, for he is an ardent supporter of Pope Brown, but the reader can’t help thinking what a merry-go round it would be if Hoke Smith and Clark Howell and Pope Brown and Joe Ferrell were all in the race together. A* a matter of fact, it is understood that Mr. Smith wishes to stick to law practice until he has aceumulaled a bar rel, which he is doing at the rate of $25,- 000 to $50,000 a year, and will confine his outside diversions to educational work and speeches to Ihe farmers.. Some think there are vistas of senatorial dignity looming up In the distance before Mr. Smith, but at present his friends think that he Is in no immediate danger of an attack of iiolltical fever. He confines himself to saving the state by the devel opment of its resources, and if he ever saves it any other way it will be a long time hence. A BBAIt’S ItIiVENGE.

One day an old female bear was giving her cub a boost to get him up on a flat car for a little outing when he slipped and fell under the cruel wheels, his young life being crushed out instant ly. The old mother bear, she took It real hard and did some ugly growling as she passed by the engine. “The incident faded from my mind very soon. A couple of days after that we came along to Haskin's and had to take the siding for a passenger train. The hoys of the crew- and my fireman thought they would go up in tlte w-oods about a quarter of a mile and get some good spring water, as we had a few minutes to wait before the first-class train came along. They left me all alone with the train. "The running gear of the engine on the left-hand side, forward under the boiler, had been working badly, so I thought I'd look things over. I took my long-necked oil can and, lighting my torch, got off the engine and went forward to look over the troublesome gear. 1 found that a link hanger needed attention, necessitating my getting down flat on my belly under the engine with my legs projecting over the rails. I had been at work in this po sition for some minutes when I felt a strong tugging at my left trousers leg. 'lt's the boys back from the spring,’ I thought to myself, ‘and they're trying to get gny with me. I'll just pay no at tention to them whatever.’ "I kepi right on at my chores, but the hoys kept right on fooling with my legs. Finally my temper got the better of me and I shouted angrily: “ 'Harry, by jiminetty, if that's you I'll come out there and kick you so hard that you won't be able to sit down for a week.’ Harry was my fireman's name. "The only answer I got was a low growl. I will admit that I got frightened, although such a thing is unusual with me. Nevertheless, having finished my work. I began to hack out from under the engine, keeping my torch and oil can in my hands. "Well, you could have knocked me over with a feather, for when I got out so's I could see, the first -thing my eyes lit on was that old she bear, sitting on her haunches waiting for me to come out. She was ugly, too, and growling. The look on her face seemed to sav: 'You are the cause of the death of my offspring. If you'd been more careful it wouldn't have happened. I'm here to settle with you.' "When 1 got out she made several move ments toward me,,but I kept her at a comfortable distance by waving my torch in her face. She was getting bolder all the while, however, and I knew I would have to devise some scheme to get on the engine, as I didn't wont to try an argu ment in close quarters with her, because n hear in all ugly mood as she was is not a thing to be sneezed at. “So I set my wits to work. Glancing around T saw that I was nearer to the pilot of (fie engine than I was to the step on the side of the tank, and if I could reach the pilot before the bear dkl I could get to the cab via the running board along the side of the boiler and laugh at Mrs. Bear. '*l decided to try for it, and, making a feint lunge at my animal friend with the torch to get her further from me, I dusted for the Pilot. 'I rtached it before she did, hut Just as I was drawing my leg up the bear grabbed it with both her fore paws. I tried to break away from her hold, but it was useless. Turning, 1 saw her jnws wide open within easy reach of my arm, and something superhuman seemed to tell me what to do. I stuck the torch in iter wide open mouth. With the other hand I brought my oil can into play and poured the oil from the can on the lighted torch In the bear's wide open mouth. The effect was very disastrous for the bear. The inflammable oil took fire going down her throat, and exploding almost blew her head off, killing her in stantly. "The boys got back shortly after that, but they wouldn't believe my story until 1 showed them the bear's carcass." BUFFALOES 1% STOCK V \BIS.

T'atlietlo Record of a Disappolntoil Searcher for Klondike- Gold. From the St. Paul (Minn.) Pioneer Press. James Weyhrich, a farmer living near Tyndall, S. D., has just received the intel ligence of the death of his brother Henry on Jan. 1C at a point 500 miles northwest of Dawson, under conditions that are par ticularly sad. Henry Weyhrich was a mo torman in the employ of the Los Angeles Street Railway Company. He caught the Klondike fever 1n 1898, and in company with A1 Dominy started to seek his for tune. The chief information which Mr. Weyhrich has regarding the death of his brother is found in a diary whi-'h the lat ter kept until the second- day before his death, when he became so weak from hunger that he could-no longer record the course of events. Dominy was with Weyh rich when he died, and by a mere chance was able to get sufficient food to enable him to reach civilization again, and to send the diary and other messages of the dead man to Ms brother. Weyhricb was one of the “Sunny South" party, which left Los Angeles for the Klondike two and a half years ago. They took the Edmonton route, which carried them along the Pease river, by Fort Gra ham and Sylvester Post. Other members all turned back before long, but We-yh rtch and Dominy kept on. They found a little gold, but it was too fine. At last winter caught them and. unable to travel further or go back they built a cabin at the lower end of McPherson lake, on the Yessecoo river, about 500 miles from Fort I-aird. They knew they had not provis ions enough to last the winter through, but rested easy in the hope of getting plenty of game. Last New- Year’s Day the two snow besieged prospectors had a pathetic little celebration in their cabin. They knew by that time there w-as small chance of either one seeing another New Year's Day. Weyhrich told of it in his diary. Soon, however, he had run out of writing paper and tlie record of that fateful winter was written across the pages of his little Bi ble. On Jan. 6 Weyhridh writes: "Too weak to go hunting. Cooked spoonful of rice, one of flour, one of vegetable, one leg of squirrel." On Jan. 7: “Very cold. I chopped wood. Mr. Dominy rested so as to save his strength for moose to-morrow. 1 feel the Lord has saved our souls, though our bodies perish by starvation or freezing. Our situation is very desperate. Living on two meals of thin soup.” On Jan. 8 he wrote: "We are eating the buds of willows to stay the gnawing pangs of hunger. Ate one little white weasel for breakfast. Our soup keeps getting thinner every day. We are get ting weaker fast and cannot hold out many more days. If relief does not come in some shape we must perish." On Jan. 9 he entered: “Starving to death One spoonful of evaporated vegetables and one of rice and one of flour per man per day. and doing hard work at that. The weather is cold, about 30 or 40 beiow zero, and a fine snow, with wind from the north daily, which cuts through a person. We can hardly keep warm on the wood that I can cut during the day time.” On Jan. 11 he wrote: "Flour all gone. No sign of moose or other gome. Not even a bird. We are living on one spoon ful of vegetables and- the tips of wil lows." For the five days following this entry Weyhrich was evidently too weak to write. Each day he merely entered the date and name. "Camp Winter Quit ters." The sad record l closes as follows: "Tuesday, Jan. 16, 1900.—W’tnter Quar ters: Henry A. Weyhrich, Lis Angeles, Cal. A. L. Dominy. Very cold. About three inches of snow fell last night. I hove given tip all hopes of living. Ms legs so weak and thin can't support my body. | am a skeleton." It chanced that Weyhrich’* dying mes sage was written across the following verses in the Acts: "And now behold Igo bound in spirit into Jerusalem, not know ing the things that shall befall me there. Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth In every city, saving that bonds and affec tions abide with me." Two days after Weyhrich went to his death with the utmost cheerfulness. He and Dominy rang songs all morning until the end came. Dominy buried his friend and lived four months alone in the camp. Two days af ter Weyhrlch's death . moose was slam. This saved Domlny's life. When he re gain'd strength by food he made a ter rible Jotirnev across the snow to civili zation. Weyhrich left, besides hi* bro ther. a sister in I/Os Angeles, CLOCK* \T THE CAPITAL. *l* Hundred of Tlte in In the Treas ury Department. From the Chicago Record. There are 6(81 clocks In the Treasury De partment. an.l a man name) Fleming Is paid $45 a month fur winding them snd keeping them In repair. This duty Is let annually to th* lowest bidder, snd the , net has be n reduced fr .m $75 in *4'- s month by rivalry la-tween Mr. FI-ining '•fid uuuUntr cloviunsJtcr, wig* aiMUied Ilie Job for two or three years through pcliti oal influence during the last Cleveland ad ministration. Mr. Fleming had looked after the clocks in the Treasury at a r-alary of $75 a month as long as anybody could r< member, until he considered that privilege a ve&tfd right, and when it was taken away from him by Secertary Carlisle he was very uneasy, and finally underbid his rival and offered to do it for S6O a month. The con tract was given him. and the next year the other man underbid him and got the job for SSO a month. Next time Fleming came in with an offer of $4 a month, which was really lower than _ anybody could afford to make. l>ecause it requires nearly all his lime to l eiform the duties, particularly as many _>f the clocks are getting old and constantly need repairs. In the other departments the messengers of the different bureau** look after th° clocks, except the large ones that are connected by wire with the Naval Ob servatory and accurateiy mark the sun time. j The clocks of the White House are look ed after by one of the local jewelry mer chants, who sends a man every week 'o wind them and see that they ire in order. It is a curious fact that only orn of the twenty-five or thirty clc* k.* in the While House is of American manufacture, and that is a big gilt affair which st nds on > )• mantle in the Green Room, and was purchased while James Monroe w s Pres ident. 1. e most interesting < lock in t e White House is in the Blue Parlor. it vv s made of alabaster and French gilt bronze for Napoleon Bonaparte, and was pres> nr ed to Gen. Washington by Marquis de La fayette. It still keeps excellent time, and runs for a month without winding. In Mrs. McKinley’s -itting room is a French clock which has been running without reapir for over thirty-five years. It was purchased during the Lincoln ad ministration. We have no famous clocks in the United Stares like old "Tom'’ in the tower of the British House of Parliament, or that in the spire of the Cathedral at Strasburg. or the one in Sr. Petersburg, which is the most wonderful in the world.

At n certain hour of the day an angel appears, rolls away the stone, an image of the Savior steps out and a music box plays the Easter hymns of the Russian Church. NEWS FROM WAYCROSS.

They claim that the price quoted by the Kim berley syndicate in October, 1599, has not been changed—the prices had been raised nine times successively between that dale and July, 1898—but that grades which were glassed second and third have been ad vanced to first and second place at the price which Ihe genuine first and second sold for lief ore last month, and that these last ate now held and sold as "specials." Thus, while old prices are quoted, the syn dicate. It Is complained, has really ad vanced ihe price about 20 per cent Again, Ihe syndicate this year is said to have obliged the American dealers to like "lots" of Its own selection, so that tne man who buys HOO.tUO worlh of diamonds must lake among them $3n,000 wonh of stones, which he must, sell proportionately a' a loss In this country. The weekly shlp rnunts from tlie Cape are now coming in li. London at th*- rale of from 125C.0U0 to s3<.),o'jo worlh of rough stones It Is well known among expert* that the quality of the Brazil stones averages iugh*r than those found In Kimberley. Brazil never produced large quantities, through no fault of the natural supply so fir as is -known, but before the Kimberley strike was made at the very grass roots in 18n9 the demand for diamonds was noth ing like what It lias since grown to be, so that $1,000,000 then m. ant what five times or more would now.
