ga Malicious IgnOramus."

GA Malicious IgnOramus."
The Augusta Chronicle says it
has located can ass" "a malicious
ignoramus," over at Aiken, S. c.,
10 the person of e. C. Williams,
q follower of such cattle as ingalls,,
Chandler ct i'd omne genus. We
publish what the Chronicle says i'll
order that such fellows as Williams
may be ventilated. Listen to the
Chronicle:
wMr. E. G. Williams, who writes
The Chronicle from the Highland
Park hotel, Aiken, is neither a
fair nor a wise man. 1t is very
evident from his letter that he did
not interpret correctly the editorial
in the Chronicle, which he under
takes to criticise. Nlr. Williams is
rude and offensive in his structures
and incorrect in his conclusions.
The Chronicle called attention to
the fact that a jury in this county
gave a verdict for 500 damages,
because a conductor on, the Char
lotte, Columbia and Augusta rail-
road struck colored passenger, who
accused him Of robbing the COM
pany. The Chronicle said nine
men out Of ten would have resent
ed the insult as the conductor did,
but because of the insult. The
conductor would have acted in the
same manner if the insult had come
from a white man. What the
Chronicle commented on was the
fact that a jury of white men ron~
dered verdict in favor of a negro
for 800, although the negro
was the offensive and wordy
aggressor. OF course, a conductor
has no right to strike passenger,
white nor black, except to defend
himself or his passengers, and thea
only when the lives of
either are endangered. This
was evidently the view
of the jury, and the Chronicle
dwelt upon the verdict as a most
striking proof Of the fact that juries
dispensed justice without regard to
race or color, and that the black
mans rights were protected by our
courts.
"Mr Williams evidently is both
ignorant and malicious. His seu>
timents prove that he is not compe-
tent to give advice to any class of
our people. We have no doubt
from his own statement that the
conductors, as a class, are men of
much more integrity than he with
his Pharisaism ever dared to be.
As to Southern white men, they
would scorn to take advantage of
the negroes as men OF his ilk
would do if in their place.
"Mr. Williams writes himself
down an ignorant ass and fanati,
cal idiot vhen he supposes there is
no "hope ior the colored man until
he begins to resist and shoot
back"
"This shows what purblind fa>
matte Williams is. His advice, if
followed, would lead to the ex-
termination of the negro. The
fool>killer should close up the
mouth of such men as Williams.
There are no hopes for the negroes,
except In the place and friendship
of the white people of the South,
and the negroes themselves
thoroughly UNDERSTANDING ,appreci,
ate the situation. Fortunately
the class represented by Mr.. Wills
Jams is not largein the North, and
while the mass of the people may
be misled, temporarily, they will
eventually understand the real con.

! sat by the FIRE one winters night
IN my room 30 cosy and warm and bright.
1T stormed, and the rain and sleet
.Gainst the windows fercely beat
by my side, my wife In her rocking chair,
she never looked more sweet. more fair,
though forty years of time had fed
Since the night when we were wed.
I thought OF trials Of life we had.
OF hopes and JOYS and feelings sad,
~ loves first kiss on the stairs
lstole from her. @unawares.S
into the past have sped those days.
But the love remains, and its rays
In my heart shine bright
As sit by the side OF my wife to-nigh
As branches grow out OF trees,
As foliage OF verdant leaves,
As buds ON twigs appear,
Az blossoms when fruit draws near,
And fruit that In sunlight CLEANS.
So the love tor my wife, ia purest streams,
Flowed out, like beautiful leaves,
And buds and blossoms and fruit on trees,
From Heaven, to us. revelation came,
A babe. No heritage of fame
From deeds of others could it claim.
Filled was my heart with joy of love-
Paternal, like dove, from skies above
Came our boy. Others shared our Joy
And love fraternal, without alloy,
Leav6d out like foliage on trees,
When sunshine SINNERS through the leaves.
Pure were the thoughts that stole,
Softly as shadows over my soul
A love had never known before,
Crossed the threshold of our door,
And knew that winters night,
My wife was my beacon light
Whose rays revealed that friendly shore
Where she and shall part no more.

Found a Giant,s Bones.

Cornelius Jones, a well-known and
wealthy landowner of Spencerville,
Allen County. in this city on business,
said
by the way, there was remarkable
discovery of prehistoric remains in our
section the other day. The instance
came under my own observation. Last
week had occasion to visit the farm
of J. Henly, about two miles west of
Kossuth, just across the border in
Auglaize County. Some workmen were
engaged in digging well, and had
descended to depth of thirty-two feet
when they struck gravel drift, from
which they exhumed gigantic skull
thirty-eight inches in circumference.
Further down the other bones of the
giant were found There can be no
doubt as to the kind of remains. The
thigh bone measured 3 feet 2 inches in
length, and the spinal column is four
feet two inches long. All the bones
were in an excellent state of preserva-
ton, and were probably those of pre-
historic warrior who was killed in bat
tie, as the skull seemed to have been
crushed with blunt instrument. The
whole skeleton measured eight feet
eleven and half inches in height, and
when clothed with flesh must have been
tremendously powerful man. A huge
stone axe weighing twenty-seven pounds
and flint spear head of seventeen
pounds weight were found with the
bones, and were, no doubt, swayed by
the giant with the greatest ease. A
copper medallion, engraved with several
strange characters, was also found with
the bones.
"This startling discovery proves the
Biblical assertion that there were giants
in those days. The scientific value Of
the discovery is also great, and may
lead to some interesting develop
ments. - Cincinnati Times Star.
