The Man Who Had an Object in Life.

He was born of poor but otherwise un-
Objectionable parents, who impressed upon
his mind while it was yet in plastic and
doughty state the Importance of having an
object in life.
He was a studious boy He began wear
ing spectacles at AZ early age, and never
wasted any OF the precious hours in playing
bull pen, humble peg, Skinny or any of the
rude games that thOughtless boys delight
in. and his teacher at school was ac-
customed to point him out to the other
children as a model.
In consequence of which the other chill
dren ali hated him and said he was molly
coddle and a sweet little gosling with a
glass eye.
But he was q truly good boy He did not
mind what they said He smiled at them
with a gentle. winning smile, and went on
being good. He did not chew gum and re-
fused to associate with boys who chewed
tobacco on the sly or played hockey.
As he grew to manhood he cast about
him for an object in lie.
He found one.
Henceforth he devoted his energies to
him.
IL was uOC ElGuCS AG SOlAnb L ne puA-
suit of wealth for its own sake was de-
grading in his eyes, and whatever of world
" prosperity came TO him was made sub
servient to his one great object in life.
He pursued not the elusive phantom of
fame. The filthy cesspool of politics had
no charms for him, and the empty honors
that await the man who enters the army
Or navy did not tempt him.
Neither did be waste his powers in the
futile search for perpetual motion.
The ephemeral joys of the actor, the
professional ball player or billiard expert
awaited naught as enticements to lead him
from the path he had marked out for him
self
Step by step as the years rolled away he
drew nearer and nearer to the goal of his
ambition and his heart swelled with proud
satisfaction.
And he died at the age of sixty-three,
leaving TO posterity. as the result of a life
devoted TO the pursuit of one great object,

Senator Jones Very Hopeful.

Senator James X. Jones was briefly
interviewed by the Telegraph Satur-
day last. lie had just returned from
Washington, and we were anxious to
obtain his views on the political situa-
ton for the benefit of the Telegraph's
readers. Senator Jones is an extreme
" conservative man and never over
sanguine in his forecasts of political
events. Hence the news he brings
back from the East and the rosy view
he takes of the outlook are full of en-
enlargement and hope to the Demo-
cratic heart. Col. Jones met and con-
versed with many prominent party
workers, all of whom were of the
opinion that Mr.. Cleveland's prospects
were exceedingly bright. The cam
paign is progressing favorably, and
Democrats are united, confident and
aggressive. The factional differences
in New York have been smoothed over
and the adherents of the houses of
Hill and Cleveland are rivaling each
other in loyalty to the Democratic
nominees and earnest work for their
success. Col. Jones says the outlook
in the Northwest is highly encourag-
ing. The party managers are conf
dent of carrying Wisconsin and Iowa,
while the chances are about evenly
balanced in Illinois, Michigan, Mime
sofa and Nebraska. - Washington

The Confederate Monument Erected
by the Ladies at Greenville, 8. @.

GREENvILLE, 5. c., September 81
The Confederate monument erected
by the Ladies' Confederate Memorial
Association was unveiled to-day in the
presence of several thousand people.
The event was made public holiday.
The monument is erected at the head
of Main street, which overlooks the
city. The shaft is of marble, resting
on granite base surmounted by the
statute of a Confederate soldier, the
whole being thirty feet high. Gov.
Mauldin, who presided, introduced
Judge j. S. Cothran as the orator of
the day Judge Cothran paid tribute
to Gen. Capers, a Confederate veteran,
for his heroic performance during the
war and then paused a moment. AT
a signal from the chairman, the cords
were pulled and the canvas dropped
from the statue. For moment there
was silence, then followed the wild
rebel yell from 800 veteran thoats. An
order was given by the colonel COM
handing and the regiment fired sa-
lutte. AS the smoke rolled up from
the guns, large Confederate flag shot
across the street on suspended wire
and Just above the statue. Another
wild yell was given when the vast
throng stood gazing at the conquered
banner.
The ceremonies closed with the
benediction by DR.. Mundy.

cloudburst at Brunswick, Ga.

A special from Brunswick, Ga,
dated Sept. 9th, says; Brunswick
was visited this morning by cloud
burst and terrific storm that damaged
$4,000 worth of property, filed New
Castle, Mansfield, Union, Oglethorpe
and Grant streets with water four
feet deep, penned the citizens in their
homes and stores and threatened to
inundate the entire block of three
story brick houses. Rain fell in such
torrents, the sky was so dark and the
wind SO strong and driving that every
store was closed. Two street cars
attempted to get back to the stables,
but floated off the track, the drivers
cutting the mules off and saving them
selves as best they could. The rail-
road tracks were washed up in the
city and cars overturned. The fire
department headquarters is under
water and every public office cut of
from approach. In the residence por-
ton Of the city water covered the
ground foot deep. Families could
not leave home, and the water poured
through many residences like river.

Five thousand people gathered on
the bluff last night to listen to Cow
Elect Fishback of Arkansas. The
grand stand for the fall display was
crowded to its utmost, and stand had
been erected for the speaker and dis
tinguished guests. 1t was handsomely
decorated with flags and bunting and
a band was in attendance. For half
an hour before the speaking the vast
crowd was entertained with good mu-
sic. His speech was the
plainest most comprehensive and
forcible argument that has
been listened to in Memphis for
number of months. No flights of
oratary distinguished his remarks.
No silver speech eraanated from him;
but for good old-fashioned Jeffersonian

WEAVER EXPOSED.

Hon. w. II. Atkinson, chairman of
the Democratic executive committee
of Georgia, is out in reply to a pub
lished address against Weaver and va
rious special kilograms which have
been sent.out from Georgia by Mrs.
Lease, saying that they do great in
jury not only to Democrats, but to
the people of the State. He says:
According to his own admission,
Gen. Weaver received respectful
hearing at Waycross and Columbus.
At Albany his speech was listened to
by several hundred people, and no eff
fort whatever was made to prevent
him from speaking. A prominent ne
gro at that place at the conclusion of
Weaver's speech took the stand to re-
flute what he said, and bitterly attack
ed Weaver and the Third party. Wea-
yer was so indignant that the negro
should attempt to answer him that he
Immediately left the platform.
"The only possible foundation for
the greatly exaggerated egg story
spread by General Weaver and Mrs.
Lease is that small boy in the open
air audience at Macon threw an egg,
and he was promptly arrested and
punished for II. AS to Mrs. Leases
statements that "the disgraceful scenes
at Macon were repeated twice in the
presence of the Governor at the State
Capitol" Mr.. Atkinson says Gen.
Weaver and Mrs. Lease did not appear
as advertised at Atlanta. They would
not 60 up to the Capitol where q large
crowd was assembled to hear them
Gov Northen himself hearing Weaver
would not speak, claiming he would
not be listened to, went to insure hin
a hearing and meeting, and guaran
teed that he would be respectfully lis
tened to. called on the chairman o.
the executive committee of the People'l
party Of the State early in the evening
to extend this guarantee, and he tolt
me that Gen. Weaver had made W
his mind no. to speak. His claim o
persecution is but an overworked Of
fort to pose martyr. His statements
deliberately misrepresents the people
Of Georgia, and are cunningly devised
for campaign purposes. lie did no
want to speak in Atlanta, and woult
have had just as fair show in Georgia
