It is said that down in the southern
“hemisphere it is now midsummer, and
they are having a dose of it. Australia
is sufferihg under conditions of torriduy
which are intolerable. In different parts
of that continent the temperature in the
sun runs from 110 to 150. People are
dying of heat and vegetation is burning
up. And this is the third year of such
abnoimal summer tempeiature at the an¬
tipodes.
Forty or 50 burglaries in the locality of
Paducah, Ivy., lately have aroused the
people. Stringent idlers ordinance and
a curfew law have been adopted by the
city council, and put in force. A strong
vigilance committee also went to work,
and eight negroes and three white men
were caught and all whipped, two
verely, and forced to leaved on parting
trains. One negro in his haste to depart,
fell from a moving train and was injured
but he was thrown on and carried away,
The committee proposes to clear the
town before disbanding. There is great
fear, particularly among negroes.
Ship and Tom Wood, well known and
well connected young men living near
Vienna, were found ou the road from
Sevdle to Richmond, the former with ap¬
parently a mortal wound through his
body, lying unconscious near a buggy
that had been wrecked in an apparently
runaway of the horse that they had been
driving, and the latter dead in the buggy,
with gunshot wound in the side of his
of his head. Mystery surrounds the af¬
fair. Many believe that Tom shot
brother and then himself, while others
claim that on another occasion when
they had visited Seville they had a diffi¬
culty theie and threats to get even with
them had been made. And for this
son there are grounds 16 belive that
were ambushed.
BUCHANAN, HARALSON COUNTY, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 10. 1808.
THE "WAR" SPIRIT.
Certain newspapers and the cones
pondents thereof arc for war—bloody
war, war to the knife—right or wrong.
They show distinct evidences of hysteric
over the fact that their bloodt.hiistv ed¬
itorials and beII com* spirt <>t their medic
tion departments have faihd to move
presiden McKinley, congress and the
re at- body ot American people f )•< »m the
position they assumed from the moment
the Maine was destroyed, viz. that n<
action would betaken or was just died
until the full facts in connection with the
destruction of the battleship wa re km*
Wll.
The presumption is that even t lio>o
w *'° an ‘ ,nost anxious for war— right or
wrong would prefer, till things being
equal, for us to have right on our side.
Of course these fiery souls who never
smell< d gunpowder ami never will except
on Christinas and the Fourth f .July
will demand war if right cannot he found,
but they are making themselves ridicul
ous when they, failing to precipitate im¬
mediate hostilities,charges the president
and his administration and those who
believe tlieir course to be the dignified
and the proper one with cowardice
with ‘Truckling to W ill Street.”
The extreme activity of tire army and
navy, the doubling of orders at the arms
and ordnance factories, the rushing ot
work on the coast defenses on both sides
of the country, do not indicate any cow
ardice or “truckling to wall street.”
Neither do tlmse^ war— like prepara
! lions indicate that war is neec«,.- oily Ru¬
minent.
They all go to show that the president
will take no step until he knows the
facts. That he wants to be shore he is
'ighr when he goes ahead, And most im
P 01 'Bmr of all when he “goes ahead” ho
to be shure lie has something to
go with.
This is the consistent and thecourago
ous course. It is the one vvhic is in line
wlth American precedent and American
Umractar.
Nations are like individuals in that
those who are always anxious to pick a
quarrel are not always anxious to carry
it to its logical conclusion.—Atlanta

Friday evening of last week Mrs. F.
had the misfortune to step
» nlsl f »». Btickinn
, a hoard, receiving a very painful
wound, the nail penetrating and pas.- ing
the ball of the foot.
Mr. J. W. Ridgcly, one of our oldest
and most esteemed citizens, met with se
lions misfortune Sunday night. About
o’clock his near neighbor, Mrs. \V.
T. King, saw him in his backyard, with
a lanternTn his hand, going toward lbs
house. lie appeared to stoop and set
the lantern down just as Mrs. King went
into her own bouse,and as his appearance
in his yard at such an from was not un¬
usual, Mis. King thought no more of the
incident and she and Mr. King retired
for the night; but the latter, on going out
of doors the next morning, saw Mr.
Ridgeley lying by his back door steps.
Going over to where he was. Mr. King
found him conscious, hut unable to help
hithself or to speak. He was taken into
the house and given proper attention, Dr.
McCurdy being summoned.
It seems that Mr. Ridgcly suffered a
stroke of paralysis and fell to the ground
at the point where Mrs. King saw him
setting his light down; at.d that he man¬
aged to crawl to Ids bar k door, but was
uuable to get into the house, and so lav
"»< i" Ike cold all u, S l,t. The tempera
ture was about at the freezing point, Mr.
Ridgeley , , was warmly , dressed. , As to the
paralysis, 1 J ’ he has grown n uo worse, ’
last night it seemed that he would have
pneumonia as the result of Ids exposure
to the cold.
Did you get a sample of throw Dr. Tichenoi ’s
Antiseptic? If so, don’t it away. It
is too good to be wasted. You’ll need it
when you hurt yourself or somebody
shoots yon just to see you jump.
