afternoon at mill pond near town. He was
standing upon a Shiny rock when his foot
slipped, precipitating him backwards. In fall
ing his head struck a rock cutting q deep
cussion of the brain. Willie was a bright boy
and the pet of the household. Much sympa-
thy is expressed for the stricken family, which
is one of the most prominent in town. He will
be buried tomorrow at the family burying
ground in Dawson, Ga.

The Two Letters.

AS with President Cleveland's letter
of acceptance SO with Gen. HarrisOn's,
both are applauded or condemned on
strict party lines. Out of a large num-
Der of democratic, republican and in
dependent papers that have comment
ed on the letters we have failed to find
a single exception to the rule-to the
democratic and independent Cleveland
editor the presidents letter is model
of originality, scholarship and sound
sense; Gen. Harrison's a conglomera-
ton of commonplace remarks. To the
republican editor Gen. Harrison's is
one of the most remarkably able and
convincing of state papers, and Cleve-
lands letter a patchwork of dwelling
platitudes.
Now here is a country opinion. Both
letters are fair opponents of the posi-
lions maintained by the two great par
ties on the questions at issue, and each
fairly represents the opinions of the
two standard bearers. Better evil
dence could not be desired to prove
that the former statement is true than
the fact that each has succeeded in alb
solutely satisfying the innermost long
ings of the partisan followers of each.
AS regards the scholarship of the two
documents, where editors of equal at
tainments in this direction disagree
ordinary mOrtals may safely assume
that both are good enough for average
Americans.

The yellow fever scOurge has gone
from bad to worse in the plague strick-

The number of fever cases has passed
1000 and the deaths are approaching
the second hundred including some of
the leading citizens of Jacksonville.
Weather is wet and unpromising and
inasmuch as there is little hope of a
frost in Florida before the middle or last
of October the outlook for the next few
weeks is anything but hopeful.

If Editor Gibbs knew how he LAGER
ates our feelings every time he has an
attack of the CaledOnian he wouldn't

Three months ago when we approved
of Gen. HarrisOn's nomination Editor
Gibbs read us back into the party
simply because we could support Har-

whether we wanted to be welcomed
back or not. Now indications point to
the possibility of the Caledonian's be-

we have even got our toes warm at the

White Wings Four Feet Deep.

Several hundred thousand years ago,
according to the works of COniucius and
the tenets of the established Chinese re
ligion, a certain kindly disposed and ex'
tremely powerful dragon becoming wearied
of paradise came down on an exploring
trip to China and was obliged, through a
number of unexpected complications, to
remain there. BY several manifestations
of his power he convinced the Cinnamon
Of the surrounding country that he was
not a person to be idly toyed with. So,
after lie had devoured Number of their
friends and fond relatives, they awoke TO
that fact and Immediately elevated the
dragon to the position of divinity. Sub
scription papers were at once circulated,
and within a remarkably short space OF
time the Celestial visitor was established
in the divinity business with q house and
a retinue of priests of his own. Through
the influence which he exercised in local
politics and national government the
dragon soon came to be worshiped by all
China his picture finally being selected to
grace the flag of the country.
The other day the holiday in honor Of
his arrival began The Chinese call it the
Wo Yueh Dan Wo-the English for it is
not known. 1t is the fifth day Of the
fifth moon, the thirteenth day OF the four.
teenth month and number Of other
things too numerous TO mention. The
principal Chinese business houses and the
restaurants shut down and nearly all OF
the Celestial collar beautiiiers shut up
their shops and took holiday. Mott
street was filed with the throngs OF
sportive revclers. The Joss had such
stream of callers that lis reception room
was crowded to the doors, and a number
of his worshipers were Obliged 10 go out
on the sidewalk and do their worshipine
via the front windows. The festivities
continued until late hour, the most at.
tractivc point being the band who marched
all around and scattered the White wings
all over the neighborhood and stacked
them up four feet deep.-Ncw York

Fashionable Revival of Coral Jewelry.

There lately appeared on promenade in

Inquiry proved that she wore them on a
wager, and that they were the property
of her mother, cast aside years before.
1t was noted, with some surprise, that
they became her admirably, despite their
old fashioned air, and the incident has
given rise to discussion in the charmed
circle upon the ACCESSIBILITY CT crusade
IN favor of the revival of coral. It is not
so many years since it held a high place
and furnished prominent industry in
France. The Empress Eugene, when she
set the fashion for the world, was ex-
tremely partial to ornaments of this sort.
The Russian ladies of today wear it
great deal, and among the Orientals both
sexes affect it, The artistic effect pos

Mr.. Ribton Turner speaks from long
experience Of the begging community
and Of the present condition Of things:
he says with truth: supporters Of mis-
sions to the heather may learn from the
evidence quoted IN these pages that it is
not necessary to send TO Africa to meet
with the objects Of their benevolent zeal.
He exists in rank luxuriance at their own
doors. No foreign heather can compare
with him in his utter disregard Of re-
ligion. in his obsccnity Of language and
in his utter brutality and filthiness OF life
and action. He is now daily discharged
from the workhouse and from the
foul dens in which he lodges, utterly
friendless. utterly uncared for and left TO
pursue the broad path to evil, without
being offered the slightest encouragement
to a contrary course. Surely here is a
fine field for missionary effort. To re-
claim such savages would be work Of
mercy to them, and Of kindness to So
cietv."

Turner, "a source of human suffering, or
a passing calamity Of any magnitude,
which these rascals do not endeavor to

by kind people with the best intentions
to the most worthless and undeserving
rogues. were devoted intelligently to the
benefit of those who are far poorer, and
are honestly bearing their burdens in the
terrible struggle for honorable existence,
what untold blessings it would scatter
through the land. What mass of
fainting humanity it would comfort and

hope, more potent than strong wine, to
