Gen. Phil Cook happened to a very
painful accident at his home place in
Lee county, one day last week. He
was leading a Texas pony with his
arm slipped through the bridle reins,
when the horse became frightened at
something, and jerking back, broke
the general’s arm. This accident
prevented the general from attending
the reoent reunion of the Fourth
Georgia regiment.
J. P. Copeland of Henry county is
an old confederate veteran, who lost
his good right arm on the blood
stained plains of Virginia. After the
war he began life, like all confeder
ates, poor and penniless. By supe
rior tact and a determination to
carve a fortune out of the debris of a
wnr-wasted country, he set to work
and in twenty years has added a cool
$1,000 to each of those years.

At Gainesville Wednesday the J. G

moved into their new quarters. Thei

When the delegation of Georgia
farmers arrived in Cincinnati they
were taken in charge for a while by
Gov. Foraker, who led the way
to au exhibit, at the Ohio state fair,
of so-called confederate relics. Among
these was a picture intended to
convey an impression of the hard
ships at Andersonville prison. It was
painted from imagination by a bloody
shirt republican, and that is all that
needs to be suid about it, except that
it has been used in several campaigns
to stir up bitter feelings against the
seuth. Gov. Foraker felt rather
sheepish when he was asked what the
picture was intended to represent
and the significant smiles of the Geor
gians when answered, were not ca^
culated to decrease his embarrass

“It’s mighty easy for General
Wolseley to talk from across the ooean
about what General Lee ought to have
done at Fredericksburg or about what
he ought not to have done at Gettys

So spoke Plunkett, as he threw his
paper on the porch floor and lifted his
feet on the banisters.
"The circumstances at Fredericks

stances at Gettysburg wore unother

“General Wolseloy wasn't at Fred

The Duelists.
There has been no duel between
Messrs. Patterson and Huff. Wo are
glad of this. These gentlemen went
out of the state to fight a duel, intend
ing to violate the law of Alabama.
The only reason that they did not
fight, is because they could not find
each other.
If the facts are as stated—that they
went to fight a duel in another state
which makes duelling a crime—then
the Legislature of Georgia should be
heard from by expressing its emphat
ic condemnation.
What a shame for two honorable
gentlemen, influenced by passion and
resentment, to deliberately agree to vi
olate the laws of another state which
they had Bworn to support in their
own. And these two gentlemen are
members of the Georgia Legislature.
What a bad example to the young
men of the state. Whither are we
drifting. No good man will ever
think any the less of his neighbor or
friend because he declines to fight a
'duel. On the contrary, he will com
mend him for his sensible determina
tion and law-abiding conduct.—Au

“Them yaukees were well dressed,
and well fed, aud I might say, well
whiskied. The confederates who fit
them were naked, starved and bare
footed. When the fight was over
the yankees wero stripped of every
vestige of wearing apparel and their
nude bodies lay exposed upon the
snow oovered field of battle.
“These are facts.
“Not only this, but while Long-
street was so successful in front of
Frederlcsburg, Jackson had er terrible
tusBil down the river. Some of his
men throwed rocks to hold er railroad
cut and if ever you seed yankees

“Lee’s army was in no condition to
oross that river and follow up his vic
tory.
At Gettysburg the whole yankee
nation were stirred up. The confed
erates were on their ground at their
doors. I don’t know so much erbout
that place, but I know they fit and
fit mighty hard. The old soldiers
said there was er difference in invad
ing and being invaded.
“I love General Lee—I love his
memory. I love to hear the name
of Jackson, but, it makes me mad

There were several things that had
had a tendency to create more or
less trouble among the brethren.
•’irst came the question of calling an
xtra session of Congress. That took
up several hours and the debate at
times became somewhat sharp, not
to say angry, but Messrs Wlndom and
Tracy, who have from the first op
posed calling an extra session, finally
succeeded iu getting tho question
decided iu their favor. So that mat
ter is settled. There will be no extra
session of Congress. The country
should be thankful. But here aro
two little matters that were not set-
led: tho rumpus between Secretary
Noble and Commissioner Tanner over
the question of who runs the Pen
sion office, (It is thought by those
best informed that a final settlement
of this matter will create either a
vacancy In the cabinet or in the Pen
sion office) and the ridiculous farce
being enacted iu Behrings Sea under
the orders of tho Treasury depart
ment whereby crews of one man
aro placed on vessels captured for
illegally taking seals. No one ob
jects to the seizure and confisca
tion of these vessels, that is only
carrying out the law, but the idea is
spreading around that tho Treasury
department does not wish to hold the
the vessels or it would see that a
proper prize crew was put on the cap
tured vessels. One of Secretary Win-
dom’s colleagues asked same very
pointed questions about these seizures
and many still more pointed ques
tions about these sellers, and many
still more pointed are likely to be
asked by inquisitive Congressmen
next winter.

Among the appointments made by
President Harrison Saturday was a
son of Olive Logan, the widely known
newspaper correspondent, to be con
sul at Bristol, England. He was credi
ted to Texas but as a matter of fact he
lived ubroad nearly all his life. He
owes his appointment entirely to the
influence of his talented mother.
The democratic employes of the
House were not displeased to learn
that there would be no extra session.
It means a couple of months salary to

Washington is the healthiest city

tics of the District of Columbia Health
