Some of the newspapers are
commenting on the great increase
m the crime of murder in the last
decade and speculating as to the
probable causes therefor. In our
judgment there is one reason that
will account for a very large per
centage of the homicides of recent
years and that is the habit, so
prevalent throughout this country,
of carrying concealed pistols. Very
few.men realize the extent to
which this evil practice is carried
and it is not confined to the lower
classes, commonly denominated
rowdies and bullies, by any moans.
Hut is common among those who
ought to bo the last to set such a
bad example.

Mrs. Nobles and Gus Famb’es,
the negro, were both sentenced at
Jeffersonville last Wednesday to
bo hanged August 7. It was di
rected, however that Mrs. Nobles
should bo hanged first. It is said
that a bill of exceptions will be
filed and the case bo carried to the
supreme court. At long intervals,
women commit very grave crimes,
but these infractions of the law
are so seldom that it does seem
like life imprisonment would be
sufficient in this ease, especially
when there is grave doubt as to
the woman’s sanity. Perhaps it
is all a matter of sentiment but
we are opposed to the hanging of
women. The thought is horrible.
Two months ago the leading
Democrats of the country, as well
as the rank and file of the partv.
were thoroughly disheartened and
and disorganized and had very
little if any hope, of success in the
November election. Recently the
sentiment in this regard has
changed very greatly, and there is
really some reason to believe that
if no mistake is made at Chicago a
Democratic president will succeed
Gr ver Cleveland in the White
house. Os course the question of
success er defeat cannot be deter
mined now, in view of the present
unsettled condition of public sen
timent, but most men will agree
that th«> prospects for Democratic
success are much brighter now
tnan a short time ago.
ThroiiQh Varied Fields.
On Board a Middle Georgia
Train.
There are two passengers on the
train besides myself. They do not i
seem to know each other and con
sequently there is no chatter to
divert one from meditative fancies.
Then too, the speed of the train
accommodates itself to my train
of thoughts, which lingers leisure
ly through the woods and fields
outside my window. Here is a
swamp whose luxuriance of beau
tiful foliage fascinates me until J
peer into the dim, shadowy bow
ers of varying green, almost ex
pecting to see elfin sprites slipping
through them. But there is noth
ing visible to mo in the way of
spirits of the wood except the
birds, which flash through the fo
liage, and the water snakes, whose
sinuous curvings ripple the surface
of the sluggish pools.
These slippery barriers of slimy
swamp mud and twisted vines
have excluded men from the
haunts of these wild woodland
creatures, and this swampy glade
is as primeval and virginal as was
the earth before man came to it.
Hero is life as bouyant and strong
as my own, that knows nothing
but to live its brief day joyously;
that is not “sicklied o’er with the
pale cast of th night.” Why should
I crush that sinuous serpent out
there? It is a form to hold life
and am I any more? It has gain
ed dignity in my eyes, from the
magnificent solitude and silence
in which it lives and it is free, free
as the wind that blow’s where it
listeth. Am I that? Can I live
my own life as freely and truly a
mong my world of men and wo
men as this serpent does among
its fellows?
There is a dull brown stream
that does not seem to move at all,
so sluggish it is. Its thick water
absorbs the brilliant light of the
sun without giving backoneray to
brighten thoslmdowy swamp. The
poison oak loans over it caressing
ly, the flowers glowing on its sur
face in reflected blotches of dull
red. It is unclean and unlovely,
seeming a travesty upon ‘‘tho wa
ters of life,” the clear springs and
sparkling brooks. But have I spo
ken unwisely of it? Have I, in
deed, boon unable to soe that it
might be a stream of hidden life
as woll as one of seeming death?
There tucked snugly in tho bend
of its arm, as it wore, is a bod of
gorgeous lilies! Fair lilies,
crowning the dull stream with
white radiance and breathing so-th
exquisite perfume, the essence and
expression of their souls. Fair
lilies, whose virginal snow and
hearts of gold typify tho lives that
angels live. This is tho way tho
sullen stream gives back the sun
light to tho eyes of men. Without
its mud and dull surface the lily
could not be. So, we often see
dull, sluggish human lives that
seemingly absorb all the sunlight
of God without Hashing back one
answering ray, yet within their
clay may lie those soul-germs of
beauty that, in due time, will blos
som into heaven’s own asphodels.
Here is a field, bare and unlove
ly under tho blazing sun. The
shrivelled cotton plants dimly blot
its gray expanse. It has none of
the prosperous beauty of the large
Southern plantation. And there,
framed in most appropriately by
that sordid landscape, is a woman
laborer. Hoe in hand, she stands
at rest for a moment, watching
wistfully the passing train. Her
face has the wooden expression of
a dumb animal. I see in her eyes
a world of suffering, a grind of
helploss, hopeless toil that shall
never end until tho rusty wheels
of life grow choked with dust and
cease to turn. Her dress of coarse
cotton has faded into the general
gray of the field, and her very face,
dull, apathetic, reflects the gray
soil. ?he has already become a
part of that soil, the living embod
iment of its barren hopelessness.
She is dead and buried in it while
still alive.
Rut the train moves on in twi
light shadows now. and finally
threads its way through the streets
,of an old Southern city. I catch
passing glimpses here and there
of old houses of stucco
with fluted columns. Some • are
yellow, others gray, but all are
stained by time and seem to shrink
back among the trees as though ‘
avoiding the bustle and glare of a
generation and time so different
from the days of their ante helium
splendor. And now the train stops
and I gladly exchange my stuffy.
dusty quarters for the open air.
Here are broad avenues with rows
of splendid elms and water oaks
through which the electric lights
gleam, suggesting a truly enchant
ing combination of the charms of
both city and country. And now
we reach the open country. Jhe
shadows, velvety gray, lie dreaming
on the broad stubble fields and the
fireflies weave threads of g°ld
through the dark mesh of vine and
leafy wood. There are giant trees,
like old Merlin, over whose ha e
greenness some subtle enchantress
has thrown a spell woven of de
feated dreams. Dreams of human
love and ambition turn to ashes,
but ashes have no power to bind,
so those dreams are turned to gray
moss, and from its clinging em
brace tho trees will never bo free.
This country about Augusta is
replete with historic interest. A
century and a half ago, when
Georgia was a struggling little
colony beset by Spaniards, Indians
swamp fevers and such plagues,
■ this was the center of her life and
prosperity. I wondered as we
■ wont along if the ghosts of those
■ dead years did not still linger in
tho woods and fields on either side.
But truly those years have be-
! queathed a m re generous legacy
of prosperity and progress to us of
today than is found in mere ghost-
I ly reminiscences. Only about the
deep foundation stones still linger
> those shadows of the past ; of flesh
that gave freely of its sweat and
■ blood to building the mighty fa
’ brie of today; all tho petty trage
‘ dies of every day life that are weld
led into the mass and shape of
? Time.
There is a dusky clump of trees
’ over there that mark the place of
an early Dutch settlement. A
1 story is told today of a. Christmas
■ frolic there that ended in tragedy.
A number of sturdy young Dutch
' mon were playing at being Indians
’ and were carrying on a mimic war
fare, their old blunderbuss guns
being charged with powder and pa
’ per wads. Suddenly two brothers
came face to face at the corner of
the house and one fired upon the
other at such close range that tho
1 charge penetrated to the heart,
’ killing him instantly. Over there
on a bluff, just opposite the ferry
f landing and over looking the Sa
vannah river is the site of a garri
son which was manned in those
1 old days by EngH<j noblemen.
The host i e Indians slibt at them
1 from ambush and killed numbers
of them as they showed themselves
1 incautiously, probably becoming
so excited over their game of nine
pins that they f orget to be careful.
Finally they killed or frightened
away all of the Indians except one.
This bold warrior waged intrepid
warfare upon them from his cun
ning hiding places, worrying them
as a gad fly does a horse.
But at last they trapped him
and tormented him cruelly accord
ing to the most approved and im
proved Indian methods of doing it.
Ho showed them, however, that if
he could inflict torture he could
bear it also, and he smiled at them,
while his flesh sizzled and the
smoke of his horrid torment
wreathed about his face. Finally
he told them if they would unloose
him he would show them how to
torture a man. They did so and
he seized an iron bar, red hot from
the fire, and held it against his
arm, smiling all tho while. His
, captors were filled with amazement
and while they stared at him, open-
I mouthed, he sprang forward, fell
ing them, right and left, with the
* bar. Thus breaking through their
circle he disappeared in the forest
with a shout of triumph and deris
ion on his lips. Tonight as I hear
the story I look fearfully into the
dim woods, almost expecting to
see that horrid torture-fire light
ing up the circle of eager faces and
gleaming on that grim captive,
whose heart of iron, sinews of steel
and liquid fire for blood, feared
neither man, devil or death. But
there is only the light of the fire
flies, and instead of that echoing
shout of triumph the plaintive cry
of the whippoorwill fell softly
through the silence.
After my journey's end I find
myself in a wide upper chamber of
a breezy old house—a place “rich
in legends and lore." lam ready
to woo, or be wooed, by the drowsy
god of sleep but all outside my
window lies the dim, rich world of
field and wood, dreaming in the
moonlight as under an enchanter’s
spell, and I do so love it that 1 can
■ hardly give myself over to the dull
unconsciousness of sleep. Inside
my room the white curtains flutter
in the breeze and the candle's sil
ver flame jumps and quivers, fling
ing fitful shafts of light into the
shado.vy corners . I wonder who;
has slept here before : what beauty, .
radiant and warm from tripping
the minuet or waltz in the wide
hall downstairs, stood before this :
mirror as she disentangled the
withered roses from her hair and |
pondered over words of whispered
love and stolen pressure of dainty
fingers? What roses of life have
budded and bloomed here; what
secret tears have faded them?
hopes and fears have been
sheltered by these walls, and have
been finally blotted out by sleep
sleep so like unto death ! At last
I sleep myself and dream of dim
ghosts who come and look upon I
the little alien, who asks them:
“Why was I born unto the neces-1
sity of life and death ; why must |
I live to what end I know not, and '
sleep at last to wake 1 know not 1
when or where?” Surely it was ‘
pure foolishness, but a wise one of j
old hath said: “We are such stuff I
as dreams are made of.” E. C.

Political Notes.
At the Ohio Democratic con
vention, held in Columbus last
• Wednesday, of the 673 delegates,
1 513 voted for the resolution favor
’ i ing the free coinage of silver, and
1 j the delegates to the Chicago con
vention were instructed so to vote.
In the last three weeks the sil
ver sentiment has developed ra
[. pidly in Indiana, and at tho con
vention held in Irdianapolis last
Wednesday tho silver men carried
everything before them. The del
p ogates to the national Democratic
convention are instructed to fight
for silver until the last ditch is
reached.
In Texas, last Wednesday, two
s conventions were held, one com
.l posed of gold standard men, and
51 the other of those favoring silver.
.; The convention declared strongly
s j in favor of the coinage of silver at
fl 16 to 1, and opposed the retire
ament and cancellation of green
. I backs. The gold men will send a
, Icontesting delegation to Chicago.

Dr. Selman Dead.
Dr. J. L. Selman, city physician
of Chattanooga, died at his homo
in that city Tuesday evening of
last week after a very brief illness.
His death was caused by acute
stomach trouble, the exact nature
(of which his physicians seem at a
j loss to determine.
Dr. Selman had only recently
returned from a month's visit to
the Indian territory where he had
( been to rest and recuperate. He
: returned home much improved in
health and his sudden death was
| a great surprise to his friends. He
w>sas >n of the late Dr. W. L.
> Sol man, of Crystal Springs, Floyd
county, and was 36 years of age.
He had been a resident of Chatta-
' nooga for about ten years. Before
■ removing to Chattanooga ho mar
! ried a Miss Hall, of Pond Spring,
! Walker county, who has been dead
several years. The remains were
interred Friday at Pond Spring
beside the wife of the deceased.
Dig down to the cause of your
sickness, if you want to get well
and stay well. Most likely it’s in
digestion. The irritating poisons
of fermenting, putrid food, left in
the stomach by indigestion, cause
headache, neuralgia, nervousness,
dizziness, stomachache, nausea, ir
ritability, and all the other well
known symptoms of indigestion.
They also cause many painsand
disorders which are often laid to
other causes and hence are not
easily cured. But as soon as the
poisons are removed, all these
symptoms and disorders disappear,
because there is nothing left to
cause them. Nothing succeeds in
this like Shaker Digestive Cordial,
because it prevents the undigested
food from fermenting in the sto
mach and helps the stomach to
digest its food.
