UNCHRISTIAN NAMEs.-At the recent
commencement of Boston University,
there were Isl graduates from the diff
ferent schoOls-between 30 and 40 Of
them women. The catalogue Is aea-
demic in form. IL seems absurd to
Latinize the names of students. We
have become somewhat accustomed to
the pranks played with the names Of
boys, but the absurdity strikes the
reader with new force when girls
names become Latinized. GeOrgius and
Artturus are bad enough; PdtricUs is
not so common a form of Patrick. One
wonders il .SdDuIs is the Latin of Sam;
but Lud0uicd FIOrentid ChdnbertGyle
Filkins is quite overpOwering. Ger
fr1tda, Jessind, and other names Of that
class are made absurd by the scholastic
change, all the more so because they are
in company with Sara, Anna, and Mar
tha, plain names that require no change.
There seems to be no more reason In
giving a student a Latin name than
there would be in dressing him in a
toga; but If II adds, OF is supposed to
add, to the dignity Of the boys, the girls
must submit, for the sake of equal
rights and equal wrongs.

Tricks of Indian Servants,

Domestic servants in India OCCASION
ally display an amount of ingenuity in
dealing with their employers which
would notdiscredit their European breth-
rem. A Calcutta paper relates that knit
malgar in the employ Of a gentleman in
that city, having completed his month,
and feeling disincliued 10 remain i'm the
service Of his employer, probably be-
cause he had better engagement else
where, feigned illness and took leave
earlier than usual. The following morn
ing his employer was waited upon by
host of people, men and women, who
claimed relationship with the dead ser
want, attired themselves as if in mourn
ing, aud exhibiting the deepest emo
tion, announced, with tears in their
eyes, the death from cholera of the un-
fortunate man, at the same time beg
ging the master to pay up his dues, ."
which were urgently required TO defray
funeral expenses. The master, sympa-
thizing with their distress, paid up,n
and even offered to meet the charges at
tending the demise, when it was ascer-
tanned that the man reported "deadr
was in perfect health, in good spirits,
and employed elsewhere. The Tuse was
discovered by one of the native servants
observing a woman, relative Of the al
legged deceased, wearing her ornaments,
which, If his death had been a fact, she
would, according to native rites and
ceremonies, be prohibited from using.

The death Of Mrs. Sarah Helen Power
Whitman, an American poetess of some
celebrity, has been announced. The de-
mise occurred at her native place, Prov
idence, Rhode Island, where Mrs. Whit
man has resided since 1888. Her liter
ary career commenced nearly half
century ago. She will be best remem-
bered from her acquaintance with Edgar
Allen Poe, to whom it was understood
she was engaged to be married. But
Poe entered upon one of his unfortunate
drinking bouts, and the lady shrunk
from such an alliance. At that time
she was a widow, her husband, a LAWYER
of Boston, having died in 1893. Mrs
Whitman retained a lingering regard
for Poe, and in 1850 she published a de-
fense Of his character and genius in a
volume entitled Edgar Allen Poe and
his Critics" Her other best known
books are 'HOurs of Life aud Other Po-
ems" and FAIRY Ballads" published
10 1857. In the last named she was as
sisted by her sister, Annie Marsh
Power. Mrs. Whitman was born In
1909 and married in 1928.

MR.. STEPHENS.

A. II. STEPHENS, on the 4th of
July, delivered a speech at Craw,
fordville, bis home, from which we
make the following extract:
at is said that | in my letter to
DR.. Casey, dsfed the Democracy
that placed myself as a disorganiz
err against conventions, nominations,
etc. Now, said Mr.. Stephens, this
is all a great mistake. 10 my letter
to DR.. Casey, | said not one word
against nominating conventions; in
the main approved them. The
only dissent | made was on the con-
tipgency, expressly and implicitly
stated to be, that | should not be re
pudiated on account of my course
on the Potter resolution"
From this it will be seen, that Mr.
Stephens does not defy his party
On the contrary he has great love
and veneration for it, and approves
oe-eoness't ions and nomiRatieas.t r.
Here him again 10 another utterance
in another speech
81 would as soon think of insults
ing my mother, or my father, whose
memory 10 so dear to me, as soon as
| would think of insulting or saying
anything offensive to the Democrats
ic party"
How different is Mr.. Stephens
language from that of DIR. FELTON,,
who abuses the organized" democN
racy, defies his party, refuses to
have anything to do with nomi~
nations and conventions, and says
81 am for FELTON,, FELTON, is my plat>
form of principles, snd Felton's sue
cess is all | care for" MIR. Stepb
ems says no "neither socks nor de-
clines office" and further says that
sis the position every man who it
not selfish should hold" And that
is precisely the position that Judge
Lester occupies. He neither sought
the nomination or declines it, and
Mr.. Stephens and himself fight un-
der the same banner and occupy
the same platform, but DR. FELTON,
seeks the office aRd skirmishes
around on his own hook to gel 1t

AT DALTON.

Last Saturday FELTON, and Lester
had tussle ut Dalton; very large
crowd present, Lester. getting the
conclusion and according TO reports,
used FELTON, up badly. FELTON, apollo
gised to Lester for the unjust assault
he made upon him at Cartersville,
he reviewed his record and when he
closed not single cheer greeted him.
But as soon as Lester stepped upon
the platform, yell after yell, cheer
after cheer, greeted the one armed
hero. Out siders asked for room
inside, they WANTED to hear that
Speech" and Lester looked pleasing
ly upon the surging mass, and said :;
"Close up, boys; close up!' This
old familiar army sound put in mo-
ton another round Of applause. Les
ter proceeded and made telling
speech, carrying the audience by
storm. FELTON, took the stand for
the last time, and we give the Allan
ia Constitutions version of it, as fol-
lows:
"About the time Judge Lester en-
tered the army. fellow citizens" DR..
FELTON, begun, 81 entered the largest
hospital in the state" He got no
further. The crowd booted, laugh
ed, laughed and yelled, as only moun~
tain boys can yell, and what Dr. Fell
ton did in that hospital will forever
remain mystery so far as that audi,
ence is concerned. Cries OF "hospltal
at !" "no chance there to get your
arm shot off ~ greeted him upon ev.
cry side, and 10 the uProar the good
doctor managed to escape from the
hospital and get back upon his con,
gressional record, and he exhausted
his twenty minutes in an appeal to
the people to do him justice.
There can be no sort OF doubt that
three, fourths Of those who heard the
discussions, whatever may have been
their feelings before, went away
from the hall Lester men.

Report says the Rev. Z. A.
Kendrick, who was tried in Column
bus for seduction, has written to some
friends who stood by him in his hour
of trial, CONTRASTING fully his guilt both
in Columbus and CINCINNATI. The lets
ter was read to the church in Colum-
bus, and the brethren whe RECEIVED
it confessed that they had been de,
ceived in their past action in regard
to Kendrick, and begged to set them
selves right in the matter. This &C
ton has served to harmonize and
strengthen the church, as the breth
rem referred to had defended their
accused and deposed pastor with rare
zeal and fidelity, believing him an
innocent nap.

From the Atlanta Constitution
of Saturday we learn that Mr.. VIM
H. Pickett, of Hapeville, near At
lanta, was very severely injured on
Saturday. he had been digging a
we'll, and after completing the dig
gipg he began to wall in the well
With ROCK. While engaged in this
work a bucket filed With brick,
which was being lowered into the
we'll by means of a MINDLESS, became
detached from the rope and fell dis
lance of twenty feet, striking him on
the head and cutting two painful
gashes, from which gushed forth a
perfect streaAo Of blood The woun-
ded man ise' badly injured, bat II is

IunGI LEsrERis SPEECH.

According to brief announcement,
Judge Geo. N. Lester, made rous
Jog speech at the Court House, last
Tuesday night. The commodious
building was literally jammed and
packed 50 large was the attendance,
and many had to stand during the
entire speech. The ladies were out
in force and welcomed with approx
ing smiles "Cobb's favorite" son.
And for one hour and half Judge
Lester with bis soul-stirring words,
pathetic pleadings, humorous illus|
trations and forcible truths, swayed
that vast audience from smiles ia
tears, from deafening applause to
the greatest enthusiasm. The peo-
ple's hearts went out to him. We
cannot at this time give an outline
Of bis speech-to be appreciated II
must be heard. As he will talk
with the people this week in various
portions Of the county, we leave fol-
him to present it to them from his
own lips. Wien Judge Lester had
finished, there went up a shout for
Col. Waddell, who responded and for
q short while made the court house
ring with manly cloquence in behalf
of the one>armed hero and patriot
He spoke of Lester as Lester could
not speak Of himself, and they were
words apt and weighty. He was
frequently greeted with applause.
Cobb county is rallying to he'
worthy son, and on the 9TH day oil
November will give him such ma
jority as will make glad his heart. -
Some Of the strongest supporters DR.
FELTON, had 10 Marietta, are now fol
Lester. We hear Of changes daily
and thus the good work goes brave
ly on.

R1prcun1Ne TESTERS WOUNDS

RIDICULING LESTEh6 WoOND0'
In the heated discussion at Car
tersvillc, last Thursday, the writer
and other persons of Marietta, were
present, and heard DR.. FELTON, ridi
cule Judge Testers empty sleeve,
vehemently accusing him OF "specu>
latihg on his wounds, trading upon
his scars, and holding the stump OF
his arm up and asking he be re-
warded with an office" We were
glad to see that such unfeeling and
uusy mpathetic sentiments and unjus-
tifiable denunciation, we're not en-
dorsed by those Of his friends pres
ent. The burst Of passion fell still
born and invoked nothing but muir,
murs of Indignation. DIR. FELTON,
certainly made serious mistake
when be thought he could bring Les
ter's one arm into contempt. The
people cannot Sympathise with such
an ungrateful remark. Judge Les
ter lost his arm fighting in defense
of his invaded county, while FELTON,
saved his arm by remaining at home
in the rear. That empty sleeve
carries no dishonor with it. 1t is
fragrant with deeds Of heroism and
daring. The people of the sunny
South when they see a one>armed
hero of the "lost cause" feel like
lifting their hats in reverence as he
passes, but DR.. FELTON, hurls epithets
of ridicue and derision. The Grip
pled Confederate soldier is 10 the
way of his political promotion, and
he feels no love for his wounds and
self sacrifices. What old soldier OF
"Dixie's land" will join in scorn aud
ridicule of the "empty sleeve" by
voting for FELTON, against Lester =
Will you say at the ballot box the
9Th of November that his empty
sleeve is badge of honor, or one
Cor FELTON, 70 hold up to public con-
tempt and fun -makiDgY To con-
denim Lester because he cannot app
pear before an audience with two
arms, is to condemn the cause he
lost his arm in, and to throw res
proach upon the dead heroes whose
mounds we meet annually to decor
ate with fragrant flowers. 1t will
not be consistent to strew flowers
upon the graves of our dead soldiers,
and ignore aud insult the living
cripples. The dead cannot be ben>
Gifted, the living can. Rally, then,
and let DR.. FELTON, see, that if he
does not appreciate the "empty
sleeve" you do.

HONESTY.

Lester not honest Why, Doctor
you cant make the people of Cobb
county believe it, Let us tell you a
little incident. Poverty stricken as
Lester has been since the war, he
voluntarily paid a prominent mer-
chant of Marietta, Whose name we
will give to any one who wants it,
the sum of Twelve Hundred Dol
lars in cash, on an old war debt, on
note out of date, and no law to col
lect it. This merchant says the pay
ment of that money at that partlcu-
lar time saved him from ruin. That
one act will do to put against all OF
Felton's charges. This prominent
merchant, in both campaigns, has
been an ardent supporter OF FELTON,,
10. tie t;...r he is for honest George
N. Lester, who he believes will be
elected.

CHANGES TACTICS.

Dr. Felton, at bis owa home, back
ed bv his friends, last Thursday, &C
cused Judge Lester of dishonesty,
attacked his personal character, ard
attempted to drive him from The
field the first day. 1t seemed to
have been an "underholt" on Lester,
where he would have but fifteen
inmates to reply to Felton's two
hours speech of false accusstions.--
But Judge Lester met these SLAM
ders, like he met the enemy on the
hattle field. face to face, bravely and
undaunted, and 10 language scorch
ing aud whitening, he "nipped the
thing in the bud" Curses, like
chickens come home to roost, and in
shis particular it is true, for FELTON,
is suffering badly from the rebound
and public opinion condemns him.
Even Gen. Woiford told FELTON, that
he had hurt himself badly and that
he was making charges that
were unfounded and raising issues
that did not exist, and that if he con-
f;,,ad !, he ssould ha a heat man.
FELTON, pro6ted by thiO advice and at
Dalton last Saturday, he changed
tactics and confined himself to his
record, half apologizing, thereby ad
hitting that he had wronged his OPP
ponent. From present indications,
Lester Rill win the race.
