Hurry along with that filter, the people are tired of chewing mud. What Alabama democracy did to populism and republicanism “was a plenty.” Sampson will have SIOO,OOO of yery Schley money to squan der on his Delilah. !LL J. , 11 ■ 1,1 "FTT” The Hogan harmony campaign is making it unanimous for the plowboy of Pigeon Roos'. Shafter has not yet had the yellow fever —but then Shafter has not yet been at the front. Hobson is having everything his own way in Atlanta—and Miles is in the same fix in Porto Rico. Let’s send the Pigeon Roost plowboy to Peachtree with an old time Georgia democratic majority of 80,000. Second avenue will soon be •pen to public travel again, and in her new dress of chert will be a daisy thoroughfare. Col. John S. Candler is as fine a colonel as he is a judge •nd that’s saying as much as any man need to want. There is no brighter daily in the state than Col. Mclntosh’s Albany Herald —the great expo nent of “Hog and Hominy” for old Georgia. Peace negotiations drag slow ly along. It takes time to work up a “political” war and it takes time to shape a “political” war to the end desired. Aguinaldo wants the Philip pines and as he has shown a wonderful capacity for doing up the Spaniards, why, lets clear th® track and turn him loose on the main line. Broad street should be paved with “victimized” brick—after all the streets in the city have been put into a passable condi tion and after a filter has been provided for the city water sys tem. —————— Candidate Hogan, in crossing a swolen branch in Troup coun ty last Friday, was washed out of his buggy and carried under a drift of logs. He was prompt ly rescued by some evil-minded Democrats who did not propose to see the Democratic landslide of October cheated out of its ad vertised prey. THE HERO OF SANTIAGO’ It is stated circumstantially thbt the distinctive “hero of San tiago’* is Gen. Joseph Wheeler, who was born in Augusta. But (or bini.eothe story goes, General Shafter, who was aboard ship during the critical period of the fight, might have listened to im portunities for ordering a retreat. Officers begged Wheeler to retire tbe command, but he refused and sent a dispatch to bhafter urging him to turn a deaf ear to ary ad vice looking to abandonment of the contest. Had General Beauregard, who was sick in the rear at the battle of Shiloh, refused to order a re treat from ihe river bank where Bragg had the Federal army cor nered, Grant and his entire force would have been captured. The late Colonel Schaller told the writ er that General Bragg, when he leceived Beauregard’s order, was so indignant that he broke his sword and sullenly obeyed a fatal command. All honor to Joe Wheeler, the ex-Confederate, for his undaunted fiimnesa. Honor to Shafter for re fusing to issue an order for retreat Some of those days the bronze statue of General Wheeler, as he stood firm and unflinching at San tiago, will adorn the city of Wash ington. —Augusta Chronicle. “What Georgia needs,” said Vice President Egan of tbe Cen tral railroad the other day, in speaking of tbe peach crop, “is evaporators and canning indus tries. There is a mint of money in both ventures, as this is the coming peach section of the en tire country.” —-J'J LJAL P To be classed as a millionaire in the United States a man must be worth at least $1,000,- 000; in England he must have five times as much, or $5,000,- 000; in Germany, 1,000,000 marks, or $250,000.

On one occasion of obedience to his wife Bismark remarked : “It is surprising what a man will do to enjoy peace in his own house after having had a thorough taste of war.” Os himself and his relation* with Frederick William, Bismarck once said: “The king regarded me as a kind of egg out of which he might be able some day to hatch a minister. It waa a long time be fore my poor mother could be per ■uaded that in hatching me she had not produced a goose.” At a banquet given by the En* gliah ambassador in Berlin Bis marck, speaking of peace and war. remarked: “Why, after all Attila was a gaeater man than your John Bright He left a greater name in hi«tory. The duke of Wellington will te known in history as a great warrior and nut as a pacific states man.” Bismarck was showing a friend rcundhis house some time ago, and as he laughingly pointed to the ponderous and forbidding iron •afe iu his wife’s bedroom he said: “You see, my wife acts as my cashier and let mo tell you that a man who trusts his wife with his financial interests has discovered an infallible way to save money.” After the day on which Bis marck was shot at (May 7, I 860) by Karl Blind, his wife said; “It I were in heaven and saw the vil lain standing on the top of a lad der leading down to hell I would have no hesitation iu giving him a push.” “Hush, my dear,” repl : ed Bis marck, “you would not be in heaven yourself with such thoughts as those,”—New York World.
