Cleveland will tip Harrison’s ca noe and Morton’s too. Remember: Summerville must have a $5,000 brick college. Chattooga county can down the world and she must do it this fall at the Rome Exposition. A number of colored delegates to the ('hicago convention were rapped over the head by the police of Chi cago because they wanted to taken hand in a free light. The repub lican party pretend tn want the colored people to have equal show, but this don’t look like they are sin cere in their professions. Norwood, Gordon and Nicholls were the loading candidates for the congr ■■friolial nomination from the first Georgia district, but ncithernf them could secure the necessary two-thirds, and the convention finally compromised by nominating, on last Friday, Rufus E. Lester, the pres-’it mayor of Savannah. J. Watt Harris, Jr., was selected by primary election Thursday of last week, as Bartow county’s choice for senator from this district. He beat his opponent, Dr. Baker, by a handsome majority. Mr. Harris is a good man, and the News gladly places him in the best company by putting bis name underneath that of Cleveland and Thurman. We have recieved tire initial num ber of Belford’s Magazine, publish ed hy Belford, Clarke A Co, Chi cago, New York and San Francisco, ami edited by Donn Piatt. It is chuck full of choice reading matter from the pens of such writers as Thos. G. Shearman, Arthur W. Grundy, J. S. Moore, Julian Haw thorne, Henry George, Frank 11. Hurd, Ella Wheeler Wilcox, and other noted writers. It is Demo cratic to core, and the articles on ‘•Tariff Reform” and “Wool” are worth the close attention of every thinking man in the land. The Georgia Cracker says the most, redieulous thing that has hap pened in Georgia, the most langha !'!'■ piv-v of architecture in the wo;bt, is the State capitol building —the capitol over whose magnifi cence we have raved, over whose symmetrical beauty we have boast cd. ■ i fact we have lain awake at in?

One of Harri- j son s ancestor.-, being a good Air- I ginin ueinocrat, signed the Decla:a- J tion oi Independence, and his gran 11 pa was elected presid-nt in 1840. t The republican nominee has never ( led his party to victory, his only success being an election by a re publican legislature to the U.

Alorton j has been Governor of New X’oi-li, S Minister to France and is ricin a The Rome Exposition. Rome is to have an Exposition this fall. The necessary funds to i make it a success have already been secured. > Chattooga county cannot let this opportunity to show her vast and varied resources pass by without taking advantage of it. This county can easily lead the other counties of the Cherokee country if it will only try, and it will be suicidal not to make the necessary effort. The earlier it is begun the easier it will be to arrange for a proper display. It is to be hoped that tills matter will be given prompt attention, and that no effort will be spared to properly represent Chattooga coun ty at the Rome Exposition. ’Twas Ever Thus. A newspaper and newspaper edi tor that people don't criticise and sometimes abuse are poor concerns. The men that an editor sometimes feels it his duty to defend at the risk of making enemies of another class arc the first to show ingrati tude. The editor who expect to re ceive too much charity or gratitude will soon find out his mistake. It has been very truly said that if an editor makes a mistake in his paper all the world sees it and calls him a fool. When a private citizen makes a mistake nobody knows it except a few friends and they come around and ask the editor to keep it out of the paper. When a private citizen dies the editor is asked to write of his good qualities and keep the bad out. But when the editor dies the private citizen says: “Now that darned liar will get his deserts.” If your local paper happens to tread on your toes a little in the performance of its mission, don’t get your back up and abuse the ed itor, but stop and take a good breath and think for a season and see if you can’t remember some of the favors and kindness it has shown to you in the past. Then reflect that it may not be long before you want some favor again.—Athens Graphic. An “Orphan Sunday School.” Capt. A. B. S. Moseley attended the S. S. service of the Baptists church at Summerville last Sabbath and found only fifty or sixty per-1 sons present; out of a school having | 120 enrolled members. Usually the attendance is very good. On ac count of illness both superintend ents were absent, but Dr. Calhoun, who always does the right thing at the right time, acted as superin tendent and solicited Capt. Moseley to address the Sunday school in the i afternoon at 4 :30. Notwithstanding the hot weather a good congregation met to hear and heed the earnest and instruc tive words of wise admonition and kind reproof as they fell from the lips of the speaker who is a conse crated Sunday school worker. He read from Hosea iv : 6. The leading thoughts presented were our individual responsibility to God, to our children and to each other; the importance of having true knowledge of what to do, and how and when to do it; the neces sity of exercising will power in dis charging duties; the fatal conse quences of negligence and indiffer ence to duty and the rewards for the faithful—crowns with stars. Altogether, the lecture was full of love to God, love to men, women and children, and desire for the sal vation of souls, and promotion of Christ’s kingdom. May it be as “good seed” sown in rich soil from which an abundant harvest may be gathered. Capt. Moseley mentioned the fact that among so many children there were very few fathers and mothers present in Sunday school, and he made an earnest appeal to parents to attend “orphan Sunday schools.” Some time ago the suggestion was made in the Baptist school to organize two classes —one for fath ers and one for mothers. Will you give up the newspaper and the domestic cares for just one dav out of seven and come with your children and let us no longer have an “orphan Sunday school?” Remember the mouth of the Lord hath spoken these words: Seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

Mail)' people believe that the spirits of departed loved ones com municate with and exercise influ ence upon those left behind. They think that by signs aii;l dreams the wishes of the departed are made known. Whether this is true or not no one can tell. It is not the pur pose of this article to argue the matter, but to relate the strange experience of a man who is a firm believer in spiritual manifestations. Perhaps you. dear i“adci‘, would believe as he does if you had had his experience. The gentleman whose story we relate has been at work on the C. R. & C. railroad. While with him recently conver sation turned upon the mysteries of the future, and he volunteered to relate to us a Startling experience of Ills on condition that in case we ever mentioned it we would not let his name be known, and this we readily promised. His story, as near as we can relate it, is as fol lows : HIS NARRATIVE. Last year 1 made a contract to supervise the work on a railroad in Michigan. That road was to be constructed from Kalamazoo to Detroit, and as it was most conve nient for me to do so I resolved to fix my headquarters at the former place. Accordingly 1 went to Kal amazoo and secured lodging with Mrs. O'Gorman, a widow lady, who was keeping a boarding house. My landlady was a charming woman ■ and from the start showed me spe cial attention, which I am bound to say was shown bj’ me to her also: Attention from a charming woman, it does not matter if she is a wid ow, llatters any man who is on the bright side of forty and unmaried, and I was no exception. My work —that of inspector—kept me busy about half the time. The balance was my own, and I spent a great deal of it in the society of the charming widow. We frequently drove together, and I generally spent the evenings with her in her: nicely furnished parlor. Mrs. O’Gorman was not an edu-1 cated lady, but in the course of sev eral years spent in caring for her self and mingling withall classes of people she had acquired a freedom ■ and ease in society which placed her i on an equal footing with those who j ordinarily would he expected to show to better advantage. She Was frank and unassuming; had a per fect figure, a soft voice, and beauti ful eyes and hair, the latter very abundant. To cut a long story short, I had not known Mrs. O’Gorman long un til I loved her, and resolved to make her my wife. 1 believe there are not many men who care to make known the way in which they pro pose. I shall not do so, but only say my hopes were confirmed by the widow. She would be my wife. When I asked her she told me so and I was happy. The next day after this I started ' to the scene of my labors with a I light heart. It was only a few! hundred yards to the place where 1 I took the train and I reached there before the train was ready to start. I I stood on the platform a few min- ■ utes, and then, catching hold of the railing, started to climb into the car. Just as I was in the act of doing this I received a blow on my forehead which knocked mo loose and flat on my back. I sprang to my feet and looked around to see who had thus attacked me. Noone was in sight. I had seen no one at the time I received the blow, and now on looking around in every di rection I could see no one. I was dumbfounded; I had no enemies, and had the pain caused by the blow not been felt I would have come to the conclusion that I was dreaming. But on placing my hand upon my head I could feel a bump and it was painful. I had been knocked down, but by whom and how I could not tell. I made up my mind to say nothing just then. Apparently no one had observed my mishap and I would watch and if it was repeated I would undoubtedly see the perpe trator and punish him for treating me so. That evening I again had the pleasure of Mrs. O’Gorman’s com pany and the following morning at precisely the same place and in the same manner I was again knocked down. This was a harder blow than the first one. There was no one in sight. I felt this time just before receiving the blow a. chilly sensation I had never experienced before. When a man is knocked down in broad dr-vlight, and when no one is near enough to strike, it is calcula ted to upset him in more ways Than one. Jt did w>, hut there w:!S no help for it; so I got on train andp went to my accustomed work. 11 That night I did not sec my in- ; tended wife, nor did J for the next two days; and during this time I w» d not attacked by my mysterious as- ; sailant. The following Sunday ev ening, however, I saw Mrs. O’Gor man, and Monday morning while en tering the train I felt that awful, ■ chilly sensation and the next mo mont felt a violent blow upon my head which ftddted rile flat its a dour, it made me exceedingly angry and I arose and glared around and set my teeth firmly together, resolved to stop this kind of thing if possible. While standing in this position, not knowing whether to go forward or not, I again felt the chilly sensation, followed by another blow, the hard iest oile yet, which sent me sprawl ing to the ground again. Both blows were delivered at the same spot on my forehead and it was not long until a large Knot made its appear ance at the place where I had been .’.mitten. As Usual no one was near me, but several persons saw me fall both times, and they hastened to ray assistance under the impression that 1 had been attacked by sud deii sickness. When! explained to them how it was they laughed, but when I showed them the knot on my head and solemnly protested that I had been knocked down, their laugh ter changed to wonder; 1 did not go on the works that day, but went to bed, for I was stif- I sering very much from the effect of the blows I had received. During my confinement I did not see Mrs. O’Gorman. When I got tip again, however; 1 saw her; but did not tell her of my mysterious foe. She Was very kind to me that evening and I was feeling much better and enter tained hopes as I left her that I would no longer be attacked as I had been. This was a vain hope, for after leaving her and while opening the door to ray own room I again felt the peculiar sensation before described and following it d violent blow, which had the usual eiiect to : knock me down. I arose very an i gry and made for the door, intent 'on facing my assailant, but was again struck and knocked down netoSs the threshold of my room. II again got up, but this time I did not lush in; I investigated slowly I and cautiously, but with the result | that I found no one anywhere. To cut it long story short; this thing went on for some time. I was violently knocked down a number of times, and in thinking about it I found that these mysterious at tacks were always made just after I had been in the company of my intended wife. I could not sec Mrs. O’Gorman without a recurrence of the assaults following. They were made generally at a time when I was alone, and I divulged nothing regarding them, because if I had people would have laughed at me and have called me a crank or v >ted ime crazy. I therefore resolved to ' solve the mystery by myself. I One evening after I had spent a pleasant hour with Mrs. O’Gorm'in 1 arose to go. 1 was holding the lady,s hand and bidding her a kind j and affectionate farewell when I ! Mt the chilly sensation I had learn icd to dread. I knew what was com ing and I had not long to wait. It , was a terrible hard blow and it j knocked me down. I arose, much • chagrined to be thus treated : by my unknown foe in the presence of While looking at her ; 1 was again struck, and this time it J was a very hard blow, knocking me ten feet against the wall where ■ I fell down in a heap like a dish- • rag. Mrs. O’Gorman came to my : ' assistance, helped me to arise and ! to a chair, for I was nearly done for •: this, time, sure. 1 looked at the ■ I lady to see what she thought of my ’ | mishap, and saw she was not sur ; j prised. She looked sad ; and ape , culiar expression was on her face, ; but there was no indication of sur prise. Presently she said : > “How long has this been going on?” I “For quite a while,” I answered. “The first time I was assaulted in f this manner was the morning fol lowing our engagement.” “You never mentioned it,” she • said. t ' “No. I did not mention it because ■ I thought I would be called a crank. I 1 have been assaulted scores of i ■ times and the attacks always fol lowed interviews with you. 1 have 3 endeavored to ferret the matter out, i but have failed. Can you help me . to unravel it? I see you are sur i prised!” = “No: lam not surprised. Go to -1 your room and I will write to you i i telling you the secret. It will force > us to part. Go!” she said, and I obeyed her, wondering more than ever. That evening I received the fol- i lowing letter: D-W Mr in order to irinke | you understand I will have to test you the circumstances attending the death of nit’ husband. Mr. O'Gor man was a prize fighter and consid ered in his day one of the best that I entered the ring. Ho was a little , wild and given to drink; but he was i alti dt’s devoted to llie, itnd never' gave me any just cause of coni- | plaint, aside from his profession. I and I married him knowing that.’ Many times we promised each other that whichever of us survived, the other would remain faithful, and would not marry again. On his death bed he made me renew this promise whldh 1 Vras willing enough to do. He told me he believed that people after death could return to those they loved and protect them and he said I must keep my prom ise or he would return and visit his I wrath upon any one who might, if 1 should so far forget iffy self as to be unfaithful to my promise, win my love. I considered this kind of talk the raving of a sick man, but since J have learned it was not. You are the second man who lids sought my love, won it and been punished bv niv prize lighting husband. I saw the other man who loved me knocked down just as you were,and hence J was not surprised at your being attacked, though I hoped you might lie allowed to be my husband for I love you ; and then it is very sad at my age to have to look for ward to a lonely future, without any one to love tnli. But it must be so, for Mr. o’Gol‘man is relentless; and j he will continue to knock you down . so long as you make love tome. He would strike you so hard—for he I can strike very hard, so all the men who ever fought him say—that he would kill you were you to marry me, for that is the threat he made. You must leave—l cannot allow you to be punished on my account; and so good bye. Bridget O’Gorman. That was her letter. It explained ! the mysterious attacks upon myself and while I loved the lady very much indeed, I was of the opinion that. I had better follow her advice and leave. 1 felt that I could not contend with the departed Mr. O’- Gorman for the lady's love, for he had every advantage of me. I do not think I am a coward, but 1 could not stand Mr. O’Gorman’s terrible blows, nor would you be willing to either if you had felt them as I have. I did not see Mrs. O’Gor- I man any mtire. 1 wrote her a note bidding her goodbye, and seeing the advertisement of Mr. Williamson in the Chattooga News asking for bids on the C. R. & C. railroad, I • came here in order to get complete ly clear of former associations. I . have had no attacks since the day I left. I know many people will not , believe this tale, yet it is true, every word of it. You are the only man to whom I have related ray strange experience, and if you relate it to . others please do not reveal my name. REMARKS.
