When the czar was a child he was ct-red
for almost constantly by an English nurse,
who taught him the Anglo-Saxon tongue,
and for wh< m he felt the deepest affection.

winter palace. When she was stricken with
her last illness, a few years ago. tie c.ar
and bls brother called upon tier often, and
after her d»ath they lifted her into her
coffin with their own hands. Ker funeral
was held at a little English chapel on the
Neva, and the czar himself followed the
hearso on foot to the church and sat in one
of its pews during the services.

Alexander HI. of Russia has been called
-the moujik czar " because he has favored
tn every way the peasantry of his land.
Tn almost every act of his reign he has
protected this class, which he considered the
wards of his throne, and in return he has
received the love and loyalty us these
people for the “little father.”

"Czar Alexander's death was a pious, de

Fume days ago the czar had already felt

czar died.
“At 3 o’clock the czar’s pulse increased
and his eye- became brighter. A quarter of
an hour later he let full his head and de
livered h’s soul to the rraee of the Almighty,
b- qtieatl.ing to his people the blessings of

talkl, president cf the Poli --h National Alli
ance of America and the people's pariy
nominee in the ninth senatorial district, who,
as president of the alliance, represents
about 2SO societies in the United States,
referred to the death of the czar as a re
lief to the people of Russia and Poland anil
to humanity in general. H - considered ttiat
now was an opportune time for the new I
ruler of Russia to turn aside the hatred i
of millions of Russians and Polanders by I
Lin rating the unfortunate victims of pain- '
leal oppn-ssion from their living tombs in j
Siberia, it may not be Christian-like, he '
said, to gloat over the death of an* ono, ‘
but millions of men cannot help but rejoice j
at tiie death of this despot. As one who was !
the cause of sending thousands of human j
b- ings to a. fate worse than death in that ;
hell upon ( arth- Siberia—every lover of j
freedom all the world over must rejoice at ,
his death. It may be that his death means ■
only a chango from one dr-spot to another, I
but every such change must be in the dhec- I
tion of loosening the chains that bear so •

BILL ARPS LETTER,
JN WHICH nr. WRITES ABOUT PRES-
ItYiERIAXISM AXll POLITICS.
He Calls Upon tho Governor to Pay His
Itospeote, b-it Finds a Large Crowd
Ahead of Him
These Presbyterians are a progressive
people. They are conies. Solomon says,
"The conies are but a feeble folk, yet they
make their houses in the rocks." Presi
dent Harrison was a Presbyterian and so
were most of the members of his cabinet.
President Cleveland is a Presbyterian and
so are most all of his cabinet. And now
comes Governor Atkinson, another Pres
byterian, though his enemies say he is
nothing but a Presbyterian sinner. Well,
1 had rather be a Presbyterian sinner than
a populist saint. My wife is not as loyal
to the faith as I am, for she was raised
a Methodist and like Lot’s wife looks back
that way yet. She was a grand daughter
of old Hines Holt, who was a Methodist
and nothing but her loyalty to me ever got
her into my church, fine believes in fall
ing from grace, but has never fallen. I
don’t believe in it, but am fulling most all
the time ever and anon. She believes that
anybody whose name is Hines or Holt is a
little better than anybody named Smith or
Jones or Brown, and so when Judge Hines
came out as a candidate for governor she
was for him because of his name, and
wanted me to write him a letter and find
out the kinship, but I dident. If he was to
call at our house now she would claim kin
and have two chickens killed and make
him stay to dinner. She has one boy named
Hines and another named Holt. She claims
kin with all tiie Holts in the country and
the UuTquitts and TurverW and Ben Hill,
because they descended from the old Holt
stock.
Not long ago I told her that another one
of her eminent kinsmen was dead. "Who?”
.said she very earnestly. “Your great uncle,
Joe Holt,” said I. “Who was he,” said she.
“Why, don’t yen know Judge Joe Holt, of
Kentucky, Mr. Lincoln’s attorney general—
the great man who prosecuted poor Mrs.
Surratt and had her hung.”
That was mean in me, but I try to get
even sometimes, for there’s nobody on my
side to brag of. She has a family tree
which tells how her grandfather. Hines
Holt, descended from Sir Charles Holt, at
old bach, who left an estate of Jlc i.imi'i.OiO
to be divided among his brother’s children
or descendants, one ot whom she is.
That was more than one hundred years
ago. and it has been in the bank of England
ever since, drawing interest, and tiie bank
is just a waiting for the heirs to come over
and get the money, and my wife is just us
proud of it as if she had it. Her share is
about S2OO, and she would have to move to
England to get it, and pay a lawyer half of
the legacy, but still she is proud that a Holt
could die and leave u $100,000.01X1.
This reminds me of my gold lot up in tne
mountains. 1 have owned it for forty years,
and never got a dollar out of it, but it has
got ood’es of gold away down in its bowels,
where the yankees couldent find it. It Is
the only thing they dident find ami carry
off. It is a good thing for the family to
brag of. and say they have got a gold lot,
ami so I am just letting it stay there for
the next war.
But 1 was ruminating about Governor
Atkinson —how lie ever got elected, being as
how he was a Presbyterian, and there are
only about 300 voters of that church in the
whole state. Joe Brown had 60.000 Baptist
voters to help elect him and they did it.
Governor Colquitt had 50.9'JV Methodist vot
ers to vote for him and they did it, but Mr.
Atkinson had to depend upon the sinners
mainly and they stoou up to him. Tm re
v, re more of them than we though. Poor
man-poor victim—poor prisoner. 1 felt sor
ry for him yesterday. 1 started in to see
ban and pay my 1 resbyter:un respects, but

he has to read scores of letters from th dr

i. ve so many friends that I would: nt know

would m..ke them draw straws, for then I
wouldent make seven of tliem my enemies
The governor is not hide-bound. He hasn’t
shown a:.y sign yet that m ne but original
Atkinson men need apply. I was glad that
he reappointed my life long friend Jim \\ ar
ren, who has now been in the executive
office twenty-three years, the faithful, ef
ficient, trusted secretary of twelve admln
: i rations. Always a gentleman, always
kind and considerate, always diligent In
business, he grows old gracefully, and his
habits and manners are ever the same. He
•-.as an Evans man and it was a graceful
thing for Governor Atkinson to do to retain
him. As Mr. Warren's college mate and
life long friend. I feel like thanking tne
governor for it, ami will so in person
when 1 get opportunity. That he will make
a good governor and show no bitter par
tisanshlp we need hav no fear. His past
record as a statesman is a guaranty for a
progressive administration. How pros! he
telt at the presence of those 25U girls who
• •'imo so far to grace hh- Inauguration! They
knew who founded their industrial college
and come to show their gratitude. It w.ts a
scene n< ver to be forgotten.
We s«-e that some of otir big farmer:-' mi l
anrieuiturnl ofllcials at Macon have
boon resolving again about holding cutton
lor a higher price. They resolved that
same thing several years ago and fixed
the price at 12 cents, but cotton kept on
going down ail the same and nobody
heeded the resolve. If a man is able to
hold ind h’s judgment tells him lo hold
he will do so withoir: the resolution. But
:f be is poor and in debt for advances he
can’t h ■’ I and so the resolution is of no
■ ood anywhere. Better resolve that the
K< w York merchants bo requested to in
dulge the Atlanta merchants and the At
lant:: merchants indulge the Cartersville
merchants so that they can indulge the
farmers and enable them to hold their
cotton until next spring. We don’t know
how it is elsewhere, but the crop in Bar
tow is 50 per cent greater than it was last
year and the small farmers are
selling and paying their debts. Our
town is lively and the farmers are
not dispirited. The man who planted
for ten bales will make fifteen, and that
helps out a good deal. Then his other crops
are so abundant and bring such a good
price that he is not discouraged about his
prospects. These Macon resolutions don’t
tit our people—we hive all got to learn
economy, especially these who are not
farmers. Now producers are having the
hardest time. I am sorry to say I am one
of them. We are trying to put on the
brakes at my house, but it is hard to tea h
an old dog new tricks, ftomctiines I rip
around and tell the cook she uses too much
I butter and too much lard and too much
, caff e, and my wife she hears me and
I smiles. Aunt Ann generally tolls mv wife
when things :r-c out and ray wife tells me,
but of lite she makes Aunt Ann tell me
' ami the oh! woman don’t like to do it, for
she r.-.ys "he look so surprised—look sorter
i like his feelin’s is hurt.” 1 started to
town this morning and she came
slippin’ up to the front door behind me.
“Wants two or three nutmegs, sir, to fix
; up slice potato pie, sir. She say com
p'ny cornin’ for dinner, str.” “All right.
Aunt Ann, I'll bring the nutmegs,” an<l
I moved on a little. “And she say I must
tell you de rice is out.” “Well, i’ll
send up some rice,” and I took another
step forward. “And I haln’t got nary ’tu
tor to make de pie wid.” “Lord help ns.”
said 1. “and nuiry air.” she continued.
“And, and—” “And what,” said I. “Dare I
is jes' enough coffee for supper but none '
for breakfast, sir. She tele me tell you.”
And she ran back laughing how she begun
on de nutmegs and finished up wid coffee—
and my wife was listening and laughing,
too. Every time I try to be serious or
get despeiate they put up some joke on me.
Had to buy a hat for one of the girls
yesterday. She is just obliged to have
a hat my wife said. Wanted a black felt
hat with a black bird and ’eathers, but
no plumes, and wanted a little bonier of
bluett- around the brim—just enough to
show she wasn't in mourning. So ’ went
tnto a milliners on Whitehall and meekly
♦ old my Instructions, abom the
bluette, which >ny folks said was Fr jich
and meant a little blue. Th- head woman
smiled and a blaok-eyed maiden giggled
when T said bluette. “What’s the m it
ter.” sit’d tdie. “Then I reckon it Is blu
etty,” said 1, and they laughed more re<’k-
less. "No,” said she, it is blu-a Lke
bouquet, which is bokay, you know. Os
course, I dident presume to argue the ques
tion for I am no Frenchman, but I m not
satisfied and my folks are not either. They
say the word ends in e like croquette, an
article of food. If I am to be run over
and made fun of by these pretty women
in the stores Tin going to quit trading
for my folks. city folks take me
for an old populist, I reckon, and they
talk about me after I have gone. If there
Is any thing I do hate it is to be talked
about after I leave. Sometimes I stay
twice as long as I want to for fear of it.
We used to have a club in Rome that was
organized to talk about people and scarify
’em and one of the rules was to talk about
every member after he left the room. Dr.
Miller was chairman and the chief scarifier
and ho never left the room until all the
others had departed. We had lots of fun
but that was before the war. when we had
time to have fun. Since the war there
hasent been much genuine old-fashioned
fun, and I'm afraid there never will be
again. BILL ARP.

Reorganization °f the Georgia Central.
It is announced that the plans for the
reorganization of the Georgia Central are
ready for operation and it is thought that
tl.e road will soon undergo the change that
has been so long in contemplation. The
property is to pass into the hands of the
Southern railway by virtue of the holdings
the Southern will have in the bonds of the
Central. The Central will be thus under
the control of the Southern without being
a part or parcel of it.
