PROHIBITIONS AND GUERRY.
The Situation Recalls a War Story Told by
General Israelite.’ Wright
From the Sparta
A. R. Wright, a gallant Confed-
erate general, used to tell with
great gusto about one of his com¬
mand who, in the earl}’’ days of
the war, was in a constant state
of indignation at the inactivity of
camp life. He didn’t enlist to
drill and loaf in camp life. He
enlisted to fight. Well, there
came a time to fight, and when
the firing had been going on for
some little time General Wright
concluded to ride over to the corn-
pany of his fire-eating friend and
see him perform. Rut before get¬
ting there he met the fierce man
of blood Hying to the rear.
“How is tins, my friend,” asked
the general, “I thought you were
hungry for a fight?”
“So I was,” replied the terror-
stricken soldier, “but I want you
to understand that I’m no d-- t l
glutton.”
Here in Georgia, for years past,
there have been prohibitionists,
so-called, who have been
mg the air with indignant objur-
gations because they couldn’t get
a democratic prohibitionist to
vote for for governor. They were
just spoiling for a fight against
the cohorts of the liquor traffic,
under the leadership of a man
w r ho had never turned his back ou
the party.
Now that they have found such
a leader in Dupont Guerry it
be interesting to watch them in
the roll of Ranse Wright’s
eater. Attempting to arrest their
enthusiastic charge to the
option thickets in the rear, while
they were really hungry for
battle to begin, they have script¬
ural injunctions in favor of draw¬
ing the lines against the intemper¬
ate extreme of state prohibition.
It is well enough for all those
who battle for the right, in this
world, to know that the greatest
of all obstacles to the triumph of
every good cause is the faithless-
ness of its nominal defenders.

New York, Aug. 26.—Dr. A. H.
Doty, discussing the death in
Havana of Miss Clara Maas, reit¬
erated his recently expressed
opinion that the results achieved
fully warranted the
that are being carried on in Cuba,
“We must not look simply at
the deaths of the three persons in
Havana,” said Dr. Doty, “but we
must consider also the incalcuable
number of lives that will be saved
by this absolute proof that mos-
quitoes carry yellow fever. This

GROWERS WILL HOLD STAPLE
Cotton Must Reach Ten Cents a Pound Be-
fore They Will Sell.
An Atlanta special says: At a
meeting of the Cotton Growers’
Protective Association, held in
the Kimball House here today, it
was decided that cotton men
should hold their cotton until it
reaches 10 cents a pound. The
Georgia Cotton Growers decided
on ^ hl8 8cheme toda y »»d will
work to have it adopted in all the
cotton states.

and several members were present

P ound was a fair price for tho
staple, and a full meeting of the
association will be called within
a ^ ovv days, at which all the cot-
^on growers will be asked to
pledge themselves to hold their

effort will be made to organize

A Curious Experiment.
The following is a curious and
interesting experiment: Take a
piece of cardboard about five
inches square, roll it into a tube,
with one end just large enough to
fit around the eye, and the other
end a trifle smaller. Hold the
tube between the thumb and fin¬
ger of the right hand—do not
grasp it with the whole hand. Put
the large end close against- the
right eye, and with the left hand
hold the book close against the
side of tho tube. Keep both eyes
open, and there will appear to bo
a hole through the hook and ob-
jects seen as through the hole m-
stead of through the tube. The
right eye sees through the tube
and the left eye sees the book,
and the two appearances are so
confounded that it is impossible
to separate them. The left hand
may be held against the tube in¬
stead of the book, and the hole
will seem to be through the hand.
