A tongue may inflict a deeper wound than a sword. ______ Every man in his lifetime needs to thank his faults. Another richmond in the presidential field—G 11 H;rid Miles. Nothing is so regular as the happen ing Of the unexpected. Phillips, the great Chicago grain plun¬ ger, is now dead broke. One should give a gleam of happiness whenever it is possible. Kissing is said to be responsible for a good deal of heart trouble. True patriotism does not depend on t lie size of one’s country. Better one enemy that you are sure 0 f than a dozen doubtful friends, “A fool praises himself, bnt a wis0 man turns tlie job over to a friend." Gorman succeed Wellington in the United States Senate from Maryland. The Bank of Butler, at Ihitler. Ga. was robbed of #2.000 last Monday night at 2 o'clock. New Mexico anil Arizona territories arc now asking to be admitted into the union as states. Capt. Edward D. Smytho has been named as postmaster of Augusta to suc¬ ceed W. H. Stallings. Governor Candler says lie will not be a candidate for any office until he fin¬ ishes his present term of governor. The political gossips are still about Allen Candler anil Hoke Smith in connection with the race for senator. Schley has received more m in way ol cups, medals and other gilts rout I le American people than the prize money amounts to. !he Macon News says: Senator Han nr is not so many ai the - Itoosmelt pie counter.

General Fitzhugh Lee is preparing to Start oil n lecture tour of the Southern states, his subject being • -Peace undWnr in the United States and Cuba." He lias also made fifteen engagements with various’ ehnutauquu.s next summer. An A'.noric.m orator hart promised to make a speech at Vermont, but was uu nble to reach the place, as heavy rains had destroyed a section of the railroad. Accordingly lie wired: “Can not come: wash out on the line." The reply came: “Come any way. Borrow a shirt.’"—Ex. Senator Hoar, with eloquence submits this question to the senate: “Is it right to crush a struggling nation?” He de mauds an investigation of the conduct of the war in tlie Philippine, and says the Filipinos have the-only, republic ever founded in the Orient. He wants Otis and Chaffee summoned to testify before the senate. The Daughters of the Confederacy in Kentucky are going to ask the law-mak <>rs of that Ktato to }>n«.s n law biNiliibit ing the playing of “Uncle ToinLs Cabin" in that state. We think ourselve that is time_tl:at such rot as that play is .should be stopjied here iu the south. ROTATION IN OFFICE. “I Have Hut one lamp by which my feet are graded; and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judg¬ . the .. future . , , but . by . the ,, past, . said .. mg Patrick Henry the apostle of American liberty. Words as true at the dawning of the twentieth century as in the clos ing years of the eighteenth. If only men of experience could fathom the depths of England’s policies with the American colonies and see what snbmis sion on their pert would bring,—“chains and slavery,”—surely only men of expe¬ rience can forecast the exigencies of es tabUsheA governments, and devise and execute the modus operaudi of success at home and abroad. Statesmen of long experience, if incited by commendable ambitions, are more valuable to the state ami country at any time, ami especially when great problems are to be solved, and landmarks must be set, than youth, 1 however promising, or age without ex ; perience, however wise in lore or sub i tile in theory. The- victor of the long | and lmrdfought campaign commands the I veneration of the men in the line, com piling the submission of cabals and fac¬ Gom, 1111,1 enforcing obedience and res j peet- from friend and foe. The legisla¬ tor, state or national, rendering the greatest services to state or nation, the people collectively and individually, is usually tho veteran, whose tenure of office has been the longest, and whose knowledge of affairs is inevitably the most extensive, the most useful and available. With pride, we of the South refer to ante-bellum statesmen, and comparing them to in n c.f ibis day, with a shadow j nf regret, pronounce our sires incompar able. But remember, voter, in the days which were, many tilings were, done bet¬ ter than now. A congressman in those blays, if hezmst and fairly efficient iu Ids first t erm, was returned term after term, until more experience better qualified him to perform the duties of a national councillor than any man, whose constit nents allowed hut a term or two. We believe that oursysteni of electing state officials is harmful and iteruicions, senate. Not a man will be returned to the next who served ill the present sell ate. True some of the num who made some reputation in the bowse will go to the senate, but this .will deprive the counties sending those men to the senate of their service in the house, compelling the sending of a new man, young and inexperienced, flighty and unsafe, may j he, to the house, and certainly to a place which his predecessor, generally speak ing, could have filled hotter than he. Not a great number, probably, will he re-elected to the bouse who were there* the last term, and certainly a great mu j uy of them ought not to he returned. | | The inordinate and unbounded thirst for office and political honors will cause the j “rota ter” t 0 enter the arena with . fil . rc ,., u . ss im d loquacity, sometimes call j ( , (1 “olcquouce,” “for the prosperity of tJie state,” “to maintain the established j Democratic custom' and usage of rota f j on j u ollloa,"-^-rotate the “ins” out, , ;m d rotate the “outs" iu, “or 1 verily j bpj| e y e ty-ranv and corruption wifi bs conn* established and rampant in every official station within the gilt of the j X .,to the detriment and misfortune n f freedom and liberty, sic semper tyiun ,, phiribns ninim. et cetera." “my feliuw ei>uuirvini'ij, save yourselves by rotating lie' in."

Profane men have no moral right to join the company of their fellow beings, yet many of them assume that they have, and always plunge into their com¬ pany. We can’t blame'people who are iii tire habit of picking their company to avoid such foul-mouthed men, and in so doing make a protest against the vulgar habit. Taking the name of God in vain is sac riligious and a violation of His law. On the streets of our own city men are daily in the habit of cursing—and without re¬ gard to our ladies and children. They engage in telling their smutty yams in the presence of our little hoys apparent ly without knowing or caring what of feet their fonl-moutlxs are having on their young lives. It should he stopped. A Runaway Marriage. On Tuesday morning last the office of Ordinay Page was the scene of a roman¬ tic runaway marriage. Mr. O. W. Tan¬ ner and Miss Neva Avant being the con¬ tracting parties. They entered the ordi¬ nary’s office and asked for a marriage license, but before issuing them Judge Page questioned them as to the young lady’sage, as she only looked to be about “sweet sixteen,” hut they both stated that she was over eighteen and the li¬ cense were issued. Dr. T. L. Harris was present and performed the ceremony for them making them man and wife. We wish them success through life and trust their troubles will all be little ones. Furnishing Liquor to Minors. A well known young man of this place has been indicted in the city court for furnishing liquor to a number of minors. It appears that a few of the institute hoys got thirsty a few days since, and one of their number procured the man to make an order for a little booze, wliicli lie did. The stuff was fortli coming, and it was not long before the ............................ The president of the institute, Prof, i C. the stuff, and at once proceeded to vestigate the origin of the jag. Asa rt . S ult of his investigations the man was indicted for furnishing the booze to the boys, they being minors. r p], e gentleman,’we learn, does not deny ordering for one of the party of boys a gallon of whiskey, hut claims that he did it not knowing what was to be done with the liquor, or who were the parties who wanted it. He claims that the boy for whom he ordered was in the habit of drinking whiskey, and j no objection would be interposed by his parents, and that he did not do it with j,ny intention of injuring any one. I it is very unfortunate for all partit s j ooncerued, but the law should bo eu forced even in this particular case, i much for an example as for any other reason. Men should lie taught that minors are not to he accommodated in any such manner and led astray by such influences. Important Insurance Case. Col. A. F.
