AIRING CLOTHING.-When taken
off at night, each article of cloth
ing should be hung where it will
air. Especially should this be the
case with outside garments, such
as coats, dresses, skirts etc, which
cannot be subjected to washing

any other way thrown in a care
less heap on the floor, when not
convenient to change, ought to be
carefully turned and hung on a
chair. This will divest them OF
the cold, clammy feeling common
to hose which have been worn foI
several days. No garment should
ever be taken off and put away il
the closet without being first hung
for short time where a good stiff
breeze will blow through it.
If these rules were followed
and if the occupants of crowded
stores and street-cars were, as a
contemporary truly says, more

Col. and Mrs. W. w. Gordon's Trip to
the British Isles.
Col. aud Mrs. w. W. Gordon are home
again after an absence Of over two months,
spent in England and Scotland and at the
north. Mrs. Gordon's health was very
much improved by her trip, and Col. Cor
don is looking much stouter. Immediately
upon the close of the cavalry encampment
In July Col. and Mrs. Gordon left Savan-
nah They spent some time in Canada and
left for England from Quebec,
taking the northern route, going out
the mouth of the st. Lawrence, skirting far
to the northward and passing around the
north of Ireland. The trip was an ex-
ceedingly pleasant one, the weather being
all that could be desired. Col and Mrs.
Gordon did not visit the continent at all,
spending their time with friends in Eng
land and Scotland.
Col Gordon said yesterday that the effects
OF the Barring failure are still felt In Eng
land. He found the cotton men
and the manufacturers exceedingly
gloomy when he first reached there, but the
prospects appeared much brighter before he
left.
Col. Gordon does not think the talk of
trouble in the English manufacturing
districts will amount to anything serious or
that the price of cotton will be affected by
IL. He regards the lateness of the present
cotton crop as exceedingly fortunate, as it
has caused the manufacturers 60 see the
necessity Of replehishing their stocks and
has advanced the price by fully cent. II it
becomes evident, as the appearances indir
| cate, that the crop is a very short
one Col. Gordon thinks a further
| increase likely. The foreign manufacturers
has been fooled 30 badly for the last two
seasons. however, that they are slow to be-
lieve the reports Of the crop sent out from
this country.
Col. and Mrs. Gordon spent some time
with friends In New York before returning
to Savannah. Col. Gordon said that he
| found politics very quiet, and less interest
| displayed than in any previous campaign.
| The democrats all seemed satisfied, however
that Cleveland will carry the state. The
campaign has been turned over to Tam
many, and that organization seems to be
generally relied on TO carry the state for
| democracy. Except around the
political headquarters, however, very
! little interest seemed to be
taken in politics by either party in New
| York. Great weight is placed by conser-
vative men, Col. Gordon said Ia the fact
| that number Of former republican states
now have the Australian ballot system and
| the workingmen can cast their ballots az
they prefer without being compelled to vote
| according to the dictation of their en-
! ployers. Altogether Col. Gordon thinks
| Cleyeland's chances for election are good.

The intrepid w6lker had undertaken to
beat all previous records, aud this he most
effectually did, for his time is nearly seven
minutes less than that of any walker who
has performed similar feat The cable on
which the athlete walked was $40 feet long.
The banks are 245 feet high at the place
where the cable was stretched, and the cable
sagged about twenty-five feet In the middle.
Calverloy used 20-foot pine balancing
pole. He was dressed in sky-blue tights,
with pale pink trunks, collar and cuffs
trimmed with silver, and buckskin shoes
He is a decidedly good-looking young fell

THE TOWN OF ROGERS

The little town Of Rogers, where the en-
thusiastic democrats assembled, is situated
on the Central railroad, IN Burke county,
eishty-six miles from Savannah. It is q
delightful spot, surrounded by thriving
farms, which are owned by enterprising,
well-to-do planters.
At the station is the steam gin, store
houses and warehouses of Mr. W. o. Wad-
ley. Surrounding the station are artificial
lakes, containing beautiful fish. The water
Is furnished from an artesian well, which
pours forth an enormous supply of clear,
cool and healthful mineral water. In tho
center of one OF the lakes is a bath house
fitted for the convenience and use of Mr..
Wadley's family. A lovely little park,
filled with choice shrubbery and flowers is
between two of these lakes. The general
surroundings are attractive and speak
for the enterprise of Mr.. Wadley, who is a
gentleman of unusual qualifications, energy
and big-heartedness. As Col Lester re-
marked yesterday: "Wadley is a trump"
