Crisp For the Senate.
The following dispatch to the
Chattanooga Times relative to the
senatorial roe-* in Georgia, will be
of interest just now.
Atlanta, Feb. 29. —Judge Crisp’s
announcement of his candidacy
for the United Spates senate has
created a sensation in Georgia. It
same as a surprise, for a good
many people had persuaded them
selves that the ex-speaker had a
bout determined to temain in the
lower house.
Crisp’s announcement means
that ho will be the candidate for
the free silver men and will receive
the active assistance of all of the
silver forces in the party. I his
practically assures his nomination.
It is not believed here that Se
cretary Smith will b? a candidate]
and the announcement of Judge-
Crisp’s will keep Gov. Atkinson
from becoming an active candidate I
if he had any idea of doing so.
Today Secretary Smith and the
governor spent a couple of hours
in consultation, presumably over
the senatorship, but neither wib
say anything. It is believed that
’ the secretary would be glad to see
.Judge Crisp defeated and will cl o j
everything he can to bring about
. j that result. In order to do so,
j | however, he realizes the necessity
I of bringing out. some stronger can
! didate to represent the administra
j tion side than Fleming Dußignon,
, the only other av >wed candidate,
i and there is a renewal of the talk
I of Congressman Turner in c uinec
' i tion with the senatorship.
• | It has been generally understood
1 I that Capt. Turner would make the
• • race for congress and would not
1 | again enter the senatorial contest,
I but if urged to do so by the admin
istration people ho can hardly re-
Jfuse. His recent address before
j congress in which he represented
C the sound money idea in contra
il versy with Judge Crisp, scoa.s to
I make him the logical leader. He
Ii is ambitious to go to the senate.
Ho ran two years ago, but was de
feated by Senator Bacon who hud
a the advantage of a splendid organ-
■ ized local following, which went to
a him without regard to the finan-
■ cial question.
9 Secretary Smith and Capt. Tur
*' nor believe that the democrats of
b the state would vote for a sound
money candidate rather than a free
silver candidate, and the secretary
I is anxious that the test be made.
So the chances are that it will
II be the old fight of Turner against
I Crisp before very long.

The Rome Duel,
The street duel which occurred iu
K line a few days ago is greatly to be
deplored, especially as several inno
cent and inoffensive persons are suf
ferers from the reckless shooting.
There does not seem to have been
the least exc forth-: ti.'ii: i'. y. j i lj
ing by the account' published in the
papers. There was no reasonable or
just provocation for any such trouble.
It seems to have been brought on by a
lack of judgment, a senseless display
of temper, an i a reckless readiness to
engage in a deadly duel. In all such
cases, peaceable people should give
these shooters a wide berth, plenty of
iinmuninon and then let them go it.

Some Newspaper Don’ts.
1 Don’t discontinue a paper until
’ you have squared up with it.
1 Don’t abuse a paper unless you
' pay for it. Borrowers are the
greatest fault-finders a paper has
' to contend with.
Don’t expect a paper to abuse
' the town government for your es
pecial benefit.
Don’t abuse the paper if it uses
I space in priming something you
do not consider worth reading.
Those who read your part of the
paper may think it pure rot. A
paper is built to please many, not
one.
Don't take a paper out of the
. post office for five years and then
refuse to pay for it because you
never subscribed for it nohow.
This is plain thievery, pure and
simple. You could have refused
it f"ur years and eleven months
before.
Don’t get mad if your visitor’s
' name doesn’t appear in theperson
ial columns. Perhaps you did not
i tell the editor; he’s no mind read-
Don t stop a paper if your three
i column contribution is condensed
: into eight lines. The condenser
may have done you a great favor,
i Do not cuss the editor because
his opinions do not conform to
yours. If they did he might be at
a variance with some eight or ten
million other persons.
Don’t expect more of the paper
than you do for it. If you expect
the paper to speak well of you, you
must speak well of it. Some peo
ple say the paper has nothing in
if, the editor has no get-up, is too
old fogy and has no enterprise, and
yet if the paper would say haif
that much about them or their
business, even though it be true,
they would never take the paper
again and perhaps never speak to
the editor again. “Do unto the
paper as you would have it do unto ,
you.”
Some one wrote to the editor of
a country paper and asked him
how he would “break an ox? The
answered as follows : "If only one
ox. a good way would be to hoist
him by means of a chain, attached
to his tail, to the top of a forty
foot pole. Then hoist him by a
rope tied to his horns, to another
pole. Then descend on his back a
5-ton pile driver, and if that don't
break him let him start a country
paper and trust people for sub
scriptions. One of the two will

FIRELIGHT FANCIES.
L Hiking out of the window of j
the train as it rounded the curve I
at the famous Altoona Pass. I
caught a glimpse of a lonely grave
beside the track. This grave has
something of a history but the si
lent sleeper within has not, for on ;
the plain marble at the head of
the grave is the one word: “Un
known.” It seems that after the
historic struggle between Johnston
and Sheruian in the “March to the
Sea” was over, this grave was found
beside the track. No one knew
whether it was a Federal or Con
federate here taking his last long
sleep, but it was a soldier who died
in battle; of that there was no
doubt, and bis grave was worthy
the care of those who honor a brave
man, whether he wore the gray or
the blue. When the lessees of the
I Western & Atlantic took charge of
i the road, many years ago, the sec
tion hands were instructed to keep
the grave in order. A plain mar
| ble slab was put at the head, and
I ever and anon, as occasion de
; mands, the mound is rounded up
' and kept in order, and here in the
shadow of the Altoona Hills, the
' “unknown” soldier sleeps peace
fully. What a world ol pathos
I there is in the word “unknown!”
In the struggle of hot fight, or do
, ing picket duty in the lone hours
j of night, some man had mot death.
I After the horrid crush of battle
the armies had moved onward, but
he was left —dead ; some mother’s
son, somebody’s darling. In some
home in the far north, or perhaps
in a vine clad cottage in the sunny
I south, some mother waited long
and watched wearily for the return
of her soldier boy. Night after
night she prayed for his safety,
and day by day the fading old eyes
looked out for his home coming.
And it is easy to believe that as
the years rolled by and no message
came of the missing one, that the
light of hope faded slowly, and her
eyes grew dim with unspeakable
i sorrow. Ah ! she could not see
the humble mound among the
I north Georgia hills, cared for by
| stranger hands ; she could not know
I how he met death —or when—or
j where. She only knew at last that
!he was dead, and that she would
see him no more. That was all.
And here, “after life’s fitful fe
ver” he sleeps well. For
“Hushed is the noise of the conflict
done,
The clamor of the captains—the re
treat—”
* .. *
Self confidence is a great thing
if it happens to be combined with
that desirable quality that Joe
Brown designated as judg-ment.
Self confidence ought never to de
generate into self conceit. It ought
not to cause a man to do anything
ridiculous. It ought not to cause
him to be “bull headed,” for
haven’t we all heard of the little
i yearling, who under the inspiring
influence of the first warm days of
spring, decided to cut a shine and
thus immortalize himself? We
have heard how he got in the cen
ter of the railroad track, and paw
ied the gravel, and bowed his back
I bravely to meet the oncoming
' lightningexpress. Now that year
ling didn’t lack pluck. He had
sand—lots of it, but he had no
judg-ment, and so become to grief.
That reminds us of the man who
was drowned at the deluge, after
tip toeing around as long as he
could on the summit of Mount
Ararat. It is reported that just
before going under he shouted to
Noah, as the Ark floated by, that
he didn’t believe it was going to bo
much of a shower, after all. That
was another case of mistaken judg
ment. And so it goes.

A rather good story is to d on
Sam Knox, of Teloga. It seems
that three or four weeks ago, Mr.
Knox had retired one night, pre
sumably after a hard day’s labor.
Before he went to sleep some one
came to the window of his room
and began trying to raise it. Mr.
Knox made no move for some lit
tle time but in the meantime the
thief was persistent in his efforts
to get in. Mr. Knox finally whis
pered to his wife to know where
his pistol was. She didn't know.
Then he decided to make a run for
his shotgun which was in a rack
ever the door. As is pretty gene
alh known Mr. Knox is rather a
small man and could not reach 1
the gun without getting on a chair.
Ihis he did, and laid hold on his
•weepins,” but m the excitement
)i the movement, the chair over
urnea. and Knox, gun and chair '
ill came dc-wa in a wild clatter. '
In the meantime the would be;
t thief-on the cutside suspected from
J the “rucus” on the inside that all
I was not well, and beat a hasty re
treat, and when Mr. Knox got to
the door, ho was gone. Mr. Knox
now sleeps, if he sleeps at all, with
a Gatling gun under his pillow and ■
'swears he will shoot the next son
of a night hawk that tries to raise
bis window.
Two Stories.
Three very young children who
were supposed to be in bed attrac
ted the attention of their mama
by the noise they were making.
Upon inquiring into the cause of
the disturbance she was greatly a
mazed to find the little ones para
ding around the nursery with large I
straw hats on their heads and oth
erwise entirely devoid of clothing..
‘•What are you doing?” she ex-;
claimed in consternation.
; “We’s playin’ Dardon of Edin,”
1 ; said one. ‘‘Yes, and I’m Adam,”
j said the oldest boy.” “And I’s
Eve,” chimed in the little girl.
■ And then in a most important tone
j the third little voice chirped up
“And I am the Lord Dod, walkin' j
I I in the tool of the day.”
And here’s another one that is i
’' not bad :
“There is no use opposing a love
I affair, not even when the actors i
5 play into your own hands, says the I
• New York Herald. I know what
’ I’m saying. I've had the expo ri
jence with two —the young and the
old man. My first experience was
with a young man who didn’t know
3 1 his mind, and asked me what he
' i had belter do, and I, like a father,
” I told him he’d better not marry the
1 girl he was courting. He went
1 right off and married her.
’! An old man from the - couutrv
s
came into th« car where I was
’ j reading my morning paper and sat
b ; down at my side. “Beg your par
-0 I don, sir,” he said. “Did you ever
0 court a grass widder?”
1 I “Oh, yes,” 1 said. “I’ve courted
0 a dozen or more. Why 1”
0 “Did you ever marry one?”
0 “Yes.”
“Waller, p’r’haps yer kin give a
' chap a point or two?”
r “Oh, certainly, all t'he points
, you want.”
1 “Are they any different from
other women?”
“Say old fellow, I’ve c urced all
sorts of women, both married and
I unmarried, and they are all just
alike. They do all the courting
and generally propose before you
have courted them a week.”
r “Waller, what’s yer opin’n?”
i “It is this: ‘The man who mar
j ries one is a jackas.’”
The o.d fellow scratched his head
-for a moment and after he had got
t his idea racked in the right spot,
;he said: “Waller, haiu’t I as
j much constitutionally right to be
. a jackass s yer have? Waller, I
guess, ana I’m gain’ ’cept her pro
posal by wire. Write it out for
II me, won’t yer?”
Why Not Bloodhounds?
‘ | One of the most faithful and ef
’ fective allies the Chattanooga po
' lice have in suppressing crime is
| Policeman Phipp’s famous dog,
Jude. This is particularly true of
crimes committed in the suburbs
and in the surrounding country.
'By the aid of this sagacious and
well trained brute many desperate
criminals have been run down and
caught who otherwise would have
made their escape. If this dog I
could have been gotten on the
ground in two or three hours after
the assault was committed on Miss
Jones, near Rock Spring last Thurs
day, the white scoundrel would
have been caught beyond a doubt, j
As it was after a nine hours delay, i
. the man was trailed a distance of |
many miles, and not until he had
reached a railroad and boarded a
train, did the faithful dog give up
the chase.
There ought to be a pair of well
trained hounds at every county
' site in the state. The cost of keep
ing them would be comparatively
small, and the mere fact of there j
being such well trained allies at '
the service of the Sheriff would do '
more than any other one tiling to
deter and prevent crime on the j
part of these roving tramps.

WAR WITH 8P kIN?
It Looks That Wai II the House
Resolution Passas.
The Washing Adi correspondent
of the Atlanta J >urm;l sends that
paper the follow, qgd spatch, which
is of especial iut-.’roPt just now in
view of the brutal policy adopted
by Weyler in con ducting the war
with Cuba.
If congress shall, recognize Cuban
belligerency, as not’ seems proba
ble, it may prove ke a war with
Spain. Following is the dispatch.
Washington, IVb. 27.—The res
olution adopted i>y the housecom
mittee on foreign affairs with re
gard to Cuba reported to the house
today is even nitre Tad
the senate expression, and its pas
sage ui th concn rceaee by’ the sen
ate will mean either war with
Spain Cuban or both .
The senate lias agreed to take a
final vote on the Oiban resolution
at 4 o’clock tomorrow. Mr. Sher
man will close the debate.'
Either the resolution reported
by the committee on foreign rela
tions or the Cameron amendment
will pass; then by the end of nevt
week the house will, in all proba
bility have passed its resolution.
After the conference committee
of the two homes have agreed, the
matter will be in the president’s
hands.
Just what course the administra
tion will pursue .8 problematic but
the best opinion inclines to the
belief that the executive will noti
fy Spain that the war must cease
and give further notice that the
United States will, exercise its un
doubted right of intervention in
behalf of American property rights.
Naturally this bring things
to a crisis and the next result will
bo war with Spain or the achieve
ment of Cuban independence.
The strict enforcement of the
neutrality laws and the carrying
out of al 1 treaty obligations with
Spain by officers of this adminis
tration will make the action of the
president meet the approval of not
on'y tho American people but of
all the other civilized nations as
well.
Spain has now been given more
than a year to put down this re
bellion and has signally failed and
the time for recognition has arriv
ed.

Death Was_Preferable
To Prostration After the Grip
Hood’s Sarsaparilla Built Up and
Cave Perfect Health.
R w
B’. IZ. Williams
This is a well-known merchant at Key
West, Florida. His account oi his condi
tion after tho grip, and how it was cured,
should be read by all:
“ I had the grip twice, which came near
ending my existence on the earth, and left
me in a condition to which
Death was Prefqrable
About five months back I started to take
Hood’s Sarsaparilla. I felt the good effects
from the first bottle and by the time I had
taken three bottles I was 50 per cent, a
better man physically than before. I am
now full of ambition and feci that had I
Hood’s Cures
not taken Rood’s Sarsaparilla I should
now be dead and buried. I am thankful
to Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which has been
instrumental of so much good to me as
to thousands of others of our fellow men.”
W. H. Williams, 8., Key West, Florida.
