AN OLD SWORD.

Is this county there is a sword which
was picked up near Pine mountain, not
very far from Kennesaw. The sword has
on it the name of Brigadier General Angus
tus Wilhsh, T. S A., and was made at st.
Louis. Probably ii was lost in the battle
of Kennesaw in 1864 The letters are very
easily deciphered except those in Willish,
which may read Willett or Willis A party
from Chattanooga gathering up war relies
near New Hope battlefield, offered FIVE
dollars for the sword, which is in the pos.
session of a farmer near Lost mountain.
a good many war relics are among the
country people near these battlefelds, such
as bayonets, shells, sabres, swords and some
old muskets and pistols.

THE STATE ROAD.

We must confess that we read Mr..
Joseph NJ. Browns letter in Sun
days Constitution with good deal
Of qualification. MIR. B., as traffic
manager Of the W. & A. II. R., has
demonstrated that he is "chip of
the old block" in sound judgment
and forethought. He gives hope
full view of the future CT the Wa A.
r. r. He says the government will
have finished opening up Muscle
Shoals this year, making the Ten
nessee river navigable from Chatta-
nooga to the Ohio river, giving
steamboat transportation to st.
Louis, Evansville and other western
places, virtually placing the State
Road in position to command and
carry freight cheaper than compe-
titive railroad lines, in that the
State Road lessees could put on the
Tennessee river at Chattanooga a
line of steamboats,, which, in carry
ing freight to and fro, need not
charge more than enough to pay
actual expenses. The State Road
could depend altogether upon it's
profits in carrying this freight over
its own line, thus reducing the
rate so low as to make it unap-
proachable by rival roads the re-
suit of which would boom every
Touring mill, mine and manufactur-
ing industry in North Georgia, even
to the marble interest, while Allan
ia, Rome, Macon, Augusta, Mont
gomery and other points would also
be benefciaries of such arrange
ment to large degree. The open
ing and making navigable Muscle
Shoals will render it impossible Tor
Otner competing roads to lOcailze
the State Road, but force a gener-
Gus policy in giving the State Road
a liberal share of freights, as any
other course would cause the State
Road to put on the Tennessee river
steamboat line, and rival roads
would be the sufferers. In view of
these facts so forcibly outlined by
Mr.. Brown: the State Road looms
up as valuable piece of property
and ought to be released for $780,
900 per month. The old reliable
W. & A. r r., cannot be "bottled
up" very easily.

WHAT 1T DOES.

Whisky unlocks the doors that
lead to the poor-house, penitentiary
and the grave; unfastens the gates
of sorrow, the windows of want, the
doors of death; opens the way into
jail up the scaffold through the
trap; it unlocks the heart of the
wife to let in regret, the heart of
the mother to let in sorrow, the
heart of the child to let in shame :;
it lets loose rivers of tears, ages of
sadness, generations of woe; locks
up good intentions, words of prom
Use, deeds of duty; it locks the
child out in the streets, the wife in
the howell, the father in ruin; it
locks up goodness and unlocks sin
locks up health and unlocks sick
ness; locks up JOY and unlocks
misery locks up smiles and unlocks
tears locks up plenty and unlocks
want locks up usefulness and un-
locks idleness; locks up happy
heart and unlocks melancholy
locks up contentment and unlocks
care; locks up heaven and unlocks
hell.

NO GUSH OR APOLOGIES.

When the Georgia Press Asso-
citation was entertained in Kansas
City by the Commercial Club, week
before last, President Irwin, of the
club, in his welcome address, al
luded to a former visit of Georgians
and said he desired to emphasize
the fact that it was not expected
or desired that Georgia or the
South should through their present
or any other delegation apologize
for the part they took in the late
civil war or for their present
political sentlments-that sectional
ism was blotted out, and we were
one people.
These brave words were met in
spirit of manliness by Col. J. II.
Estell, President of the Association,
tree from gush, but in eloquent
words that commanded respect and
elected applause from that cultured
and intelligent assembly. He said:
"Mr. President, thank you for the manly words
you have expressed. l am glad, sir, that you re-
ferred to former visit of citizens OF Georgia to
your city. thank you for reviying to us what
our colleagues then said to you
Loyal or not loyal, call it what you may,
We are American citizens and are back to stay.
N ara nftf van aDf
devoted to one common flag We have no apolo-
gies to offer. The troubles which commenced Is
years ago upon the borders of Kansas were settled
at Appomattox and settled, thank God forever
Applause. There is no issue now that can come
between the North and South or of the East and
West. This is an indivisble union of States, and
the states OF the South are gust as devoted and
loyal TO the stars and stripes any in the West or
East. There Is no hatred in the South to the SOL
der OF the North. He fought for what he deemed
right, the soldier in the South did the same thing.
Inc sword settled the question, and why should it
notsbe permitted to remain settled? | tell you
between the men who fought those terrific battles
the question Is settled and there is no pickering
between these brave and heroic men. The people
OF the South sacrificed all they had II is lost and
gone and they are not mourning, but up and do
ing honestly endeavoIing to make living and
build up thicr waste places. Yesterday you spread
flowers on the graves of your dead The South al
so scatters flowers on the graves of her dead They
TOO, were brave men, and no one will dispute ii.
But II IS not OF those sad and trying times wish
TO speak. Let the past rest and let the bitterness
IT engendcred sleep in'oblivion rApplauscl. II is
the present and the future that the people OF the
south are thinking and working for We, who are
your guests, are deeply interested in the material
interest of Georgia. We have come out here to see
how it is that you people are so prosperous. We
want to learn how ii is that you take the oil OF the
COTTON seed OF Georgia and make fine leaf lard out
OF it, Laughter al
1t pleased US to hear such patriot
ic sentiments from MIR. Irwin, pres
ident of the Kansas City CONNER
cial Club, and we feel that every
Georgian will endorse Col. Estill's
manly reply.

The Song of the Chewing Gum.
Ne,r York SIM


An incident of the recent gum chewing
match in Minneapolis affords a striking
illustration of the uncertainty of human
events. The contest was for lady am
ateurs only, and none of the participants
had records. There were no favorites
before the send-off until it became known
that q girl from Kalamazoo was to COM
pete. She at once became the prime fav-
orite, aud all the others were in the field.
Persons who make business of back
ing their Judgment as to the outcome Of
incomplete event, become experts III
detecting indications and weighing prob
abilities. In this instance they reasoned
as one man that nobody hailing from an
other locality could chew gum with girl
from Kalamazoo. The process by
which they reached this conclusion
viii be readily understood by all who
have seriously contemplated young
woman in the act of extracting maxi
mum of satisfaction through mastication
without assimilation. Remove the am
pie and enduring quid from between her
pearly molars, put voice in its place, let
her go right on with all the motions of
gum chewing, and what wOuld be the
result? 'KalamaZoo-K alamaZoo-ka la-
mazoo, until she stopped. Stitch-stltch-
stitch is not more plainly the song OF the
shirt than KalamaZoo-Kalama kaia-
maZoo is the murmur of the gum cheWer.
This may not be true in the case of list
less indentation or surreptitious fondling
Of the yielding gum; but the girl who
chews boldly and with the determination
of getting all the enjoyment that
the process misunderstanding with
~ 70
static pause, and the lateral grind
goes through the motions of saying Kali
amazoo with each completed effort.
The circumstance naturally brought to-
gether as hackers of the Michigan girl all
who make IT a rule to base their ventures
on reasonable grounds, and all who are
wont TO indulge their superstition in re-
spect to cOincidents, mascots, fetiches
and things which cannot be regarded as
having any substantial bearing upon the
subject in question.
The contest began and the Kalamazoo
girl fully justified the expectations of her
hackers All the labial, faucal, lingual
and larynegeal muscles brought into ac
ton in pronouncing Kalamazoo and III
chewing gum were admirably developed.
Her confident admirers watched her from
the distance while hour after hour
she seemed to say, "Kalama-
zoo, Kalamazoo, Kalamazoo, with
the accent on the zoo. "She made mag
nificent time, - says chronicler of the
interesting contest, "and turned into
the home stretch with the race well in
hand - But-here comes in the lesson
of the uncertainty of human events, and
it needs no reinforcement in the way of
comment suddenly her jaw became set
from partial paralysis, and she was
obliged to fall out of the contest. -
