Mr.. WADLEY, who dictates the
policy of the Georgia Central Rail
road, is a man to encourage success
full and rebuff failing projects. He
recognized the brotherhood of Lo-
connective Engineers and arbitrated
differences with them, but dis
charged members Of the Railroad
Telegraphers' Brotherhood when
they waited upon him as COM
mittee to request that he arbitrate
grievances they set forth. But the
engineers enjoy the prestige of sue
cess, while the telegraphers are in
that position when kick may keep
them down. And it may not. That
depends on the telegraphers them
selves.

THE wit who said he was sur
prised that Jay Gould did not capt.
talize the debt of nature and draw
interest on it permanently, instead of
paying off, seems to have misunder-
stood Jay. The life of the great
Spectator was full of surprises and
financial coups, the greatest of which
seems to have been his last. By his
death an impetus was given to the
demand for the securities he con-
trolled which is said to have in
creased his estate $20,O00,00O. Thus
his biggest speculation was really
when he quit the market.

The assassination of DR.. Gilmore,
of Glasscock county, on the streets of
Sparta, Monday, seems to have been
because he was a Peoples party man.
The member of the Legislature of
Hancock county made the assault,
and the county ordinary, the town
marshal and the representatives.
brother-in-law handled fire arms very
freely. The information to hand is
all from Democratic surces, and is
colored to suit. This ordinary is the
same ordinary who shot at Rev.
Doyle on election day. And doubt
less the bystanders were members of
the mob that would not permit the
legal representative of Mr.. Watson to
be present at the consolidation Of the
county vote.

Raising Watches.

One day Willie came running to his
mother with little round black thing in
his hand. He wanted to know what it
was
''It is Seed" said his mother. IF you
should plant it in the ground, before very
long it would begin to grow, and soon you
would have some lovely flowers"
IF you plant things, will they GROVE"
asked Willie.
YES" said his mother. She was very
busy just then and did not pay very much
attention to what he was saying.
The next day his mother missed her
watch. She looked for it everywhere. At
last she asked Willie if he had seen it.
"Oh, yes, MAMMA" he answered; cit is
all safe. l planted it in the garden, and
soon we will have lot of little watches. :"
Come at once and show me where you
planted it," said his mother
After some time they found it, 1t was
covered with damp earth and very nearly
spoiled.
For taking the watch without permission
Willie spent half an hour in the closet He
does not think raising watches is useful

GEORGIA NOTES.

1t is singular that of the several
homicides recently reported in Geor-
gia, Peoples party men should have
been killed, always by Democrats.
The grand juries in several coun-
ties have been quite active of late in
considering violations of the election
law. The Democrats have avoided
trouble in a number of counties by
sagacious revision Of the grand jury
lists, retaining only brethren of the
faith among the eligible.
The election in Augusta last week
was an eye-opener. There were two
candidates in four of the five wards,
and but one in the other. The
Chronicle made almost frantic ap-
peals to the Democrats to come out
strong and rebuke the insolent pee
wees, who had shown disposition
to contest the fourth and fifth wards.
The vote cast was 1893 for the city,
1926 being in the fourth and fifth
wards. At the November election
1900 votes were cast in the city of
Augusta. The city election polled a
moderately full vote, while the con-
gressional ballot-boxes were two
thirds filled with fraudulent tickets.
The following card from Captain
John M. Hays, of Richmond county,
is of peculiar interest when the No
vember election is remembered:
To the citizens of Richmond county:
[ have made door to door canvass Of
the colored registration list for the coun-
ty election. to be held January 3, 1898,
or at least of that part of it that was
made UP during the month of October,
and | find that at least One-half Of it is
fraudulent and in view of this fact, and
the frauds that were perpetrated at our
elections, generally, | feel unable and
unwilling to make the race for Sheriff
unless we can force primary or some
thing else that will place the election on
higher plane.
1t is in the power of the people to do
it, and unless it is done | would prefer
to not burden my friends with it, To
adopt the dirty methods necessary to
win it would necessitate a considerable
outlay of money, and would be compro-
missing to me and my friends.
If the people can stand it and suffer,
can but if the people do not want to
stand it, let them show their hands and l
will be with them. Respectfully,
JOHN NJ. HAYS.
