To The Atlanta Constitution,
(By “Dixie Boy.' N. C )
Who brings us news from over the sea,
From Linus unknown to you and mo.
From Italy's plain and Grecian land.
From Russia cold and England grand?
The Atlanta Constitution.
Who tells us of the Cuban war.
Os heroes slain and battle sear.
Os Sampson bold and Dewey brave,
Os all who ride the ocean wave?
It is The Constitution.
Who told us of bold Hobson’s feat.
Whose name so eagerly we greet,
<’f how he sank th. Merrimac.
Escaped from death and will get back.
Os Bagley brave with name on high,
For Cuba's cause our first to die?
The grand old Constitution.
Who tells ns of our union great.
<>f all Its worth in church and state,
< f Dixi’-’s land of sun and shower,
Os northern wealth and pomp and power?
The wise old Constitution
W!:o pleads our cause when we're op
p a seed,
Whet tbltv l come and we’re distress! d.
When lords of wealth would tramp us
\nd crush ns 'ne.nth oppression’s frown.
Our dear <d.l Constitution.
Who bring , for cheer the songs of glee,
Fr *n Stanton’s pen to you and mo,
I'. 'i Arp’s grave thoughts all mixed with
To calm and help us every one,
T'n> Junin: page with ..’I its store
Os joy and gladness evermore?

My sister and 1 had always Roon very

Dear Junior; I’erhaps some of you w -tild
enjoy hearing of a visit made to Watson-
Salem, X. C , not long since. It. is caljed
the twin city because the two are to
gether, with the, exception of a very large
coffee pot that separates them. When
you come to this, on Main street, you
know then you are either going into Wins
ton or Salem. I was always glad when it
happened to be Salem, not that the streets
THE WEEKKV CONSTITUTION: ATLANTA, GA., MONDAT, JULT IS, 1898.
were smoother or tile hoii-a-s finer, but
I nature seems to have shown more of her
' beauty in Salem, for one of the first things
I to attract your attention will bo the lovely
yards and shaded streets. In a few days
of my leaving I was carried out to tile
Fourteen Springs, which is about four
miles from 1 iie place. Why it is called
Fourteen Springs is because there are
fourteen different mineral springs all near
together. As you near there you are first
captivated by the picturesque situation,
for on each side can be seen a rising peak,
and in between the ,- you will find th< se
springs. As you enter the grounds you
see two aisles, one is meant to walk up
and the other one back. On both sides
of these, aisles ar.- seven of the springs,
while in between these rim a rippling
stream. Coirespondence solicited.

THE DUCK’S VICTORY.
<)n.r~Tipon a time the birds all met to
g' tin-r for th'- purpose of choosing a king
to reign over them.
' 1 should be the king,” said t'he owl,
"because men have always called me the
bird of wisdom. Being the wisest, I would
rule best."
“Humph!” s.ild tlie eagle, “you might
make a night king, but you would not be
worth anything in daylight, for you can't
sic when flu- sun s'hines. Now, 1 sould be
king, for men call me the king of birds,
and I'lrey know best. Besides, I can whip
all other birds, and could protect my sub
jects letter Hi.m anyone else."
"Pshaw!” ■ cd tlie bee-martin, “I can
whip the <-;igle any day in the week. Men
call me the king bird, and 1 have a natural
crown on my head, therefore, 1 should be
king.”
'Wliat a lit:!i; braggart," said the buz
zaid. “He < an’t whip anything, Imt can
worry large lords while ta-y are flying,
though tie ; afraid lo com" in reacli of
their bills or claw,-. I should be king, for
I can fly longer and see farther than any
other liird, so I could tty ov< r my kingdom
and tn- looking after my people almost all
Hie time.”
“11.1 ba- 1 mi!” laugli"<l Hi" patrot “Tlie
buzzard lia s mi::hty .higii and pats un lots
of airs, imt just give him a. ch ine" and he
will soon f"is,"t his pi-ople and stuff him
self with all tlie dead hogs and dogs that
he can find. Now, I should bo king, for I
can talk like a. man.”
“So can we,” said (he starling and the
magpie, and then all th < liirds bi ::an to
talk at once, and ther never was such
.'battering, :■■■) ■ liming, sere"i'.hlng, quack
ing and chirping heard in the world be

aj r< d that the bird should be chosen

. 11, t n-n, all t.:' bird:;, little anil b'g,

a:;d up higher in dhigtier, as long as tli' y

DAY VERY UNCOMFORTABLE
Coal Wagons Sidetracked the Ice Carts
- —There Is Hot Weather j
Coming, Though.
Last Tuesday was a cold d 'V Joly, ;
ami cV'ti more uncomfortable 'ban tlie I
proverbial cold day in August which
It.is as yet bem experienced only in the
vivid imagination of Hie weather propliets. ,
The da' was cold, raw, mean and alto
gether out of time and place. Along with '
t <-.,1d w. .Uli* I’ and nest ami mud • un- .
tires and overcoats, and Hie city stepped |
from summer, wi ll its flowers -md bird- ,
song, to a December day—diet rless and ,
gloomy. '
“Is it cold today, or have I just a chill:”
ask'd an early riser Tuesday morning of ,
bis companion on tlie trolley ear. Others
asked Hie same question win n they started
from home into the city. As Hu- day pio
gr.-.-’.l the W'-a'mi grew worse, and Dst
even .i'g few ventured out on t :ie streets.
The rain turned into a heavy mist of fog
and dampness; the. streets were wet ami
slii'p.-ry, ami the cold air a- -' a veritable
(.'"umago touch of nasty weather.
The weather reminded every one of tlie
fail months, and Hie sleep-r of tin- A .-..’1 .
AVinkle type, suddenly awaken'd in tl'-'
middle of the day. would have con d d
himself transported to a. t.me near tin- end
of Indian suntmer. The birds r-i used
to sing. doubtless feeling Hut th-ir
season of mirt'h had be-n unreasonably di:
tanecd by tin cold sp'-11, and the i'"st ol
nature appeared to stand still as thom-ih
waiting for something unexpected, and
brooding ov. r t'he early de.-.ix of sinnim r. t
'Ph.-re wa.-. no need of alarm, though, to Hie
birds and flowers, and had they consulted
tlie weather man they would liave lotind
that the)'" are several hot days to come,
amt Hie coot spell of Tuesday Was only
Hi.- manifestation of a bad temper on Hie

asv.'iv, amt tin- one ot' Tin slay' is exp am
ed by the prevailenee of a. storm in south
ern l-lorida. These storms have i 'end. in-v
to draw Hu- atmosp'iiei <■ in from all direc
md all the bn ezes of different tem
peratures, coming as they do in su- ii eases
from the tropics and the pole alike, eon
v<-rge at tlie storm center. Tin- storm .en
ter Tuesday being in Florida, the cold
wind from Hu- north rushing in. passed ov- i
Atlanta and gave Hie city an appear.m..
almost of wintei. The breeze was aided
tl’;.- time l y in unusually low t-mperature
in the ice banks off New England, giving
Atlanta for one. a genuine touch of
glacial temtierature.
Torrid Weather in Florida.
I’oin.s in Florida sotitlt of the storm
center were presented with a torpid blast
from tlie tropics at tlie same time Hie cold
wave struck Atlanta, and w itli alt tlie
objections to cold wwi.hi-r tliere are few
people w'ho w mid have liked to exchange
witli the unfortunate Floridians.
Heavy rains prevailed throughout Florida ,
and south Georgia Tuesday, and AA’ay-
wrens have spent almost all of their time
in file fence corners, or running along th*-
rails, or in the wood and brush piles, or
under the eaves of houses, kc-ping them
selves where Hie eagle." never get a ehaneo
to hit them with their wings any more.
Well, the birds said that Hi- wren had
not won fairly, and that they did not want
a king who was always hiding umi< r
fence rails, woodpiles anil eaves of houses.
The next plan they uloptd was tills: that
in tho evening, all th" birds should meet
on the edge of tile forest, on its eastern
side, roost ther* all night, and the one who
should first see daylight the next morn
ing and tell the other birds about it, should
be the king. Then all tlie birds flew oh' ! >
the edge of the forest and roosted in th"
trees or on Hie ground, with their faces
turned toward the e.isf, each <-n- deter
mined to wak" first in the morning.
j Now the duck knew that Hi buzzard

and all the birds will think I saw it first."
Wi 11, the duck soon vw-nt List ash ep
