PLANS OF THE VETERANS.
The Efi1ngham Association to Meet at
Springfield To-Day

me EInngham Association to Meet at
Springfield To-Day.
The Confederate Veterans Association of
Efiingham county will meet at Springfield
this morning, and it is said will take action
against the Atlanta plan of having one asso-
citation control all the local veterans asso-
Citations Of the state.
The Confederate Veterans Association Of
this city will meet next Tuesday night, and
the members ara awaiting with some anx-
lety the action Of the Dillingham; associa-
tlon, with view to indorsing its action, If
1t should take issue with the Atlanta plan.
A member of the local organization said
last night that he had understood that the
Eliingham veterans will take action on the
matter looking TO population of the
proposition that the Atlanta association
shall vote its full membership and the
other associations OF tho state shall be en-
titled to only three delegate votes each
The old ''vetn said that the fact that the
constitution of the Atlanta association
makes Atlanta the place of holding the
annual meetings or conventions, shows that
Atlanta has acied with more haste than
judgment In the matter.
1t is believed that the Savannah associa-
ton viii follow in the footsteps of the
Eflngham association if the latter should
pass resolutions of a condemnatory
character.
member of the Savannah association
said that there are now about dozen local
Confederate Veterans Associations in the
state, and soon every county will have an
organization. The sentiment, he said, is
unanimous for a state organization, which
shall be composed of delegates from all the
organized societies of the state, and that
annual meetings shall DO held, not at any
one city, but they shall alternate, so that
such cities as Savannah, Augusta, Macon,
Rome, Brunsw wick and other places NAV
have the benefit Of the state gatherings,
which will be reunions of the veterans,
which all the cities of the state will delight
to honor and entertain.

SMITHS TASTY FLIGHT.

He Left Suddenly When He Found MT
 Jones Was in Earnest.
 Atlantians are not through talking about the Calhoun Williamson duel yet, says the Constitution.
 ''It recalls to mind a sensational duel that occurred in Atlanta a few years ago." re- marked Captain George B. Forbes. "Not many outsiders knew of the affair at the time, but those who did know of it were highly amused. It wouldn't be fair to give the names of the duelsts, so I'll call ono Jones and the other Smith. They were both society young men, and when Smith imagined that Jones had insulted him he called in a friend, who recommended the code as the only remedy. Smith was not particularly pleased with the advice of his friend, but finally challenged Jones, on the assurance of his (Smith's) friend that the thing was to be arranged so that there would be no bloodshcd. The friend of the challenged party was let into the secret, and he induced Jones to accept. The duel was to take place outside the city limits, and pistols were the weapons. Smith knew that they were to be loaded with blank cartridges, but Jones did not. That's where the fun was supposed to come in. The men were placed in position, at ten paces, and while the seconds were foolng with the pistols, the surgeons, who Were also in the Joke, spread their instruments on the ground, to sort O tickle the nerves of the duelists. ''Finally all was ready, and the second asked:
 "'Are you ready, gentlemen2 One--' "But before he could say two Jones ex- claimed:
 "'Hold on a moment, ain't used to this pistol, and I'll just my own.' "Wlth this he threw the gun loaded with blanks to the ground, jerking another from his pocket.
 "'This one never fails-I'm ready "Just at this moment there was rustic on the spot where Smith had stood, and q streak of white and black was seen rush ing across the field like the wind. Smith 1 left hls coat, hat and every thing else, and never stopped running until he got upstairs l in his room at home.
 ''We all agreed to keep the thing quiet, 1 but it was such good one on Smith and ] the rest of us that it gradually leaked out l among the intimate friends of the prin- cipals."

 do not propose to go to the newspapers with the question of veracity raised between the dis. tinguished Southern Senator and myself, or to discuss the subject, which, in point of fact, concerns no one except the two parties to the conversation. 1 understand that the Senator's place of residence is not at Columbia, and that he is not entitled to the Senatorial courtesy that would be accorded him if he lived al that city. As he desires to be heard in con nection with these cases and commits. sions have been issued, have telegraphed him that they will be held to allow him the oppor. tunity of saying anything on the subject that he desires. I shall not lose my temper, even though we have very bad weather, but shall endeavor to conduct the Postoffice business at the old stand as usual, serving Democrats and Republicans alike with exact fairness.

THEIR TRIP ENDED Pan-American Delegates Re.
 turn to Washington.
A WONDERFUL RAILROAD RIDE
Their Special Train Drawn by Ono Looo'
 motive Six Thousand Miles.

The Delegates Arrive at the Capital on
 the Engineer-Mr. wanamaker Says He
 VIII Not Lose Ais Temper With Wade
 Hampton.
 WASHINGTON. Nov. 14.-The great tour of the Three Americas dele. gates through part of the United its special train drew into tho Balti. moro and Potomac Railroad station at GAO, and the promise of it's managers that the same engineer who opened the throttle on the same spot forty-one days ago should shut of the steam of engine 1o5s at the conclusion of the tour, was fulfilled.
 From the inception of the idea 1t had been agreed that the same cars should be used throughout the entire tour. They were the finest examples of the Pullman Company's production, and were fitted up as living Qusrters for the party. Steam heat and electric ligh t were used, and in ordor that the supply of heat and light should never fail, 8 locomotive fitted up for furnishing these useful commodities was neces- sary. Many roads wore traverssd where the motive power was not equal to this demand, and she only certain precau- tion against failure was the employ ment of one locomotive for the entire service. Such a thing has never been heard of before in the railway exper- fence of the country.
 The locomotive and the entire train have traversed every oot of the bs95 miles, and came to full stop in the station last night on the minute of the schedule apparently as fresh and as pow erful as whom 1t started out on the morning of October 5. The achievement is signal event in railroad affairs
 The members of the party soon found their way to the front entrance of the depot, where carriages were waiting, and they were at once driven to their rooms. The party, as it passed the big locomotive on it's way out of the station, paused long enough to call Engineer Hart from his engine, snd to give him three hearty cheers. Afterwards the members shook hands with Hart and bade him good bye.

Southern Republicans Shy.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The Suothern Republican members of Congress are shy about naming their candidate for Speaker. Those who are here, and those who have visited Washington in the last month or so, seem to be mys- terious in their actions. It is said that plan is being canvassed among the nineteen representatives from the Southern States to form a pool to hold of and finally cast their vote for can didste to be selected. The plan is not yet matured, but no doutt, if it is ac- complished, the man who can move this "so1id South" will carry off the prize. Nineteen votes at the end of a campaign such as is ahead of the Speakership D can- didates are not to be sighted, for they will elect the man who is fortunate enough to secure them.

POLITICAL PREJUDICE.

IN his address before the Catholic con gress Daniel Dougherty said, "The high est honors of the republic are denied us by the prejudice that has all the force of constitutional enactment" Where upon the mugwump New York Times of Tuesday in column editorial justities the fact complained of. Late in the same day the committee of twelve made an address to President Harrison filled with expressions of loyalty which the president in his reply gratefully re- cognized as the truth concerning the ten million Catholics of the nation. The ad- dress and reply ought to be sufficient to lead the Times to see that it did worse than commit a blunder. It is guilty of crime in seeking to keep alive the dying embers of political prejudice.
 Its attempt to prove that a Catholic, if elected president, would be disloyal to the nation, savers of the day when Know-nothingism was rampant, when convents in New England were burned, and the archbishop of Philadel- phia owed the saving of his life to an Episcopal clergyman.
 Catholics have been members of the cabinet, of the United States supreme court, governors of states and of the highest state courts, and the resolutions of this lay congress were presented by a member of the supreme court of New York. Has the Times any evidence that any Catholic in any of these exalted sta tions sought to betray his country ? Does the Times recall any such traitor in our ranks in the war for the union ! It was John Carroll, afterwards arch bishop, who went to Canada on mis- sion for the Continental congress, who presented in behalf of Catholics an ad- dress to President Washington, and who authorized the ''prayer for the authori- ties'' used for century in Catholic churches. It was Phil Sheridan who was one of the three receiving the high est honors for services in the late war.
 Why does not the Times advocate that no Catholic shall be eligible to any inn portant position in the gift of the peo- pie? Simply because that would be ex- posing the utter ridiculousness of the position assumed in regard to the presi- dency.

BACHELOR LUXURY.
Cozy Quarters Occupied by One of Now
 York's Single Gentlemen.

IO1y quarters OCCup1eu Dy On0 O1 NOW
 York's Single Gcntlemen.
 A bachelor apartment m one of our up town flats, says the Art Age, is gotten up with much taste. The little hall is entered through a double door of oak, with stained glass panels and aueiQue bronze hinges and lock. A lamp of hammered iron-work hangs from the ceiling, which with the walls are blue-gray in tone. An old oaken settle and a carved table stand on the opposite sides and the walls are lined with proof engrav- ings, appropriately framed.
 As one enters the drawing-room the eye wanders from tho heavy portieres, which resemble old Florentine tapestry, to the cushions of old-gold plush on the long, low divan, the French plaques, the delft jars and the Italian bronzeS. The fireplace Is almost hidden by the spread peacock's tail mounted on a little gilt stand, and on the mantel-shelf are majolica jars and Sevres candlesticks. Ybe wall hangings are of white and gold canvas winch, while the owner laughs ahsut their cheapness, are certainly very effective, and the great shade of red Chinese silk which robs the prosaic gas chandelier of its natural ugl- ness, is a home invention. It bathes the whole room in roseate tints and lights up the banjos, lutes and mandolins which are suspended over the doors, the quaint Italian figures on brackets and the dark velvet plaques on the canvas walls.
 The piano is draped with white and pink Roman brocatelle and covered with sheets of music. Above the piano hangs two beau tiful pastel heads of Roman peasant wom- en. The perfume of roses and the aroma of cigar smoke struggle for supremacy in this delightful room, which opens into a library beyond. Low bookcases line the walls, which are covered with terra cotta cartridge paper. On the cherry wood man. tel are silver candlalebra standing on either side of a quaint old silver clock. On the ceiling, which is modelling of creams and light blues, are stenciled very minute de- signs in different tints, relieved with gold to produce light effects. The furniture of this room is of cherry, upholsteredi in maroon l and pale blue.
 The dining-room is furnished in antique oak and cherry. The wall is of a buff tint, with bronze and gold stenciling. Six feet l of wainscoting, composed of cherry and | antique oak panels, surround the room, and l in keeping with the wainscoting is a hand l some cherry sideboard, tlanked by antique | oak chairs, upholstered in bronze green | leather. The curtains are of old tapestry l and quaint old-time look reigns in this room.
