The most enthusiastic followers
OF the art of floral arrangements in
Japan, we are told, are priests,
philosophers and men of rank who
have retired from public life. 1t
has always been regarded as o fl
ting occupation for learned aud
literary men, and not at all as an
effeminate accomplishment, al
though ladies of the aristocracy
practice it as they do the osher
arts. Some of the virtues which
are said to spring from an habitual
practice of this charming art are
"the religious spirit, self-denial,
gentleness and forgetfulness of
cares"

THE row IN ALABAHA.

The election troubles in Alabama are by
no means ended. Counties and precincts
which the Kolb people claimed have
been given to Jones on Irregularities and
Kolb has published a card in which he
says:
l have been fairly and honestly elected
by over forty thousand majority, and the
people of my native State recognize the
fact and will see that justice is accorded
by placing me at the head of our State
government for the next two years.
There is a movement on foot to advise
the Ko1bites to refuse the payment Of
taxes to the Jones administration. The
bitterest feeling prevails and serious
trouble may follow.
Jones' majority has beed fixed at
about nine thousand.

The STATE CONVENTION.

The State conventon-the old relia-
bic, Simon pure Democratic conven-
tion-met in Atlanta last Wednesday
and nominated for state house officers
gentlemen of high character and rugged
honesty-men who have before served
acceptably in positions of honor and
trust.
The convention represented the politi-
cal party which rescuep the State from
Republican corruption and negro domi-
nation. 1t stands for intelligence and
progress and everything that goes to
make PEG lie great. Its governors and
state house officers have shed glory on
the name of Georgia, made her taxes
low and saved ler credit. In every posi-
lion Of honor and trust there is found an
official of the very highest character and
of unspotted reputation.
1t is hard TO realize that men who
have lived in this State all their lives,
and whose fortunes are SO wrapped up
in the general prosperity, should have
organized a politicrl party to overthrow
the grand old Democratic party, but
they have done SO, and the movement
will claim the attention of the leaders
until the Third party ceases to exist
and the guns can again be trained on
the common enemy-the Republican par
ty and its policy of negro rule.

IT will be well for the Democrats of
Georgia to consider that the Third par
ty people of Georgia are their brethren.
Georgians are noted for two character
istic traits. They are amenaple to rea-
son and full of manly instincts. If man
goes into the third party so blinded with
prejudice that he dare not trust himself
to listen to argument, then he is indeed
degenerate and without courage, but
there are ouly few Georgians who are
steeled against logic and who are with
out courage of conviction when once
convinced Let Democratic argument
be free from vituperation.

HOME OWNERS.

There are 100000 families in the
United States, and of this number near
ly two-thirds own their homes.
Anarchists and lawlesS men who came
here from Europe to stir up strife do not
understand our conditions. They come
from countries where the land is owned
by few persons, and where the masses
are not home owners.
Now this makes a big difference Ev-
cry home owner is to this extent a CAPT
talist. He is interested in protecting the
rights Of property, and in preserving
law and order He can never have any
sympathy with anarchy because he
would lose more than he would gain by
a social upheavai.
The American home is our great bull
wark against disorder. 1t is planted ev-
rywhere, Band whether it is stately
mansion in the city,a little cottage in the
village, or a log cabin in the wilderness.
or nesting in some nook on the noun
tainside, it is alive with the hum of in
dustry and the laughter of children.
There is a family of God-fearing people
in it, with an old-fashioned Bible, and
out Of that home go the men and women
who build up the republic and shape its
public opinion.
That is the cornerstone of our socie-
ty,land there is no archway, no lawless-
ness, no wicked purpose lurking in its
shadow.
God bless the American home!
1t will yet purify our politics and re-
store the reign of justice through tri-
nmphant Democracy. 1t is the hostage
we have given to peace, and its sweet
ness and light win conquer every evil
that stands in the way OF our peace and
prosperity.

DfSGR4CEFUL POLITICS.

A few days ago, near Williamson, S,
c., Major E. B. Murray, one of the mosE
prominent men in the State and candN
date for delegate to the State convention
on the Conservative ticket, was set up
on by a mob of Tillmanites, and saved
his life only by fight.
This was at a public speaking, and
Major Murrays only otfense was a de-
sire to speak, which he had a perfect
right to do.
Never in the history of the State have
scenes so disgraceful characterized po-
litical campaign as have been enacted in
this.
Men are drunk with rowdyism and VIC
violence, and lawlessness follows the
progress of the campaign in every coun-
ty.
What has come over the people? There
was time when South Carolina was
the pride of the American union. 1t
was the center of learning, of refine
ment, gentility, and intellectual achieve
ment.
TO be a South Caroinian vas pass
port to the best circles everywhere The
name was a synonym for gentleman, and
an open seasame to every door.
Her statesmen, her soldiers, her ora
tors her men ofletters, her brilliant and
noble Womanhood, were themes fol
praise and admiration the world over.
But hers is a faded glory These
things in the aggregate have passed
away and it is rather the iso-
lated exception now that attracts no
tice.
The immediate cause for this condi-
ton will be found in the present leader
ship. Major Murray well sa d: II dc
not blame these deluded men who at
tackled me; for them 1 have nothing but
pity. What can you expect of them
when the man whom ,they have elected
Governor violates the sanctity of his
oath OF Office, confesses that under some
circumstances he would lead a lynchino
party, aud disgraces his office with fou
speech and blackguardism at meetings.
Another Tillman leader advised al
his followers to knock down any mar
who approached them to talk conserva.
tive politics. 1t is sad indeed to see
snch state of affairs in state with smell
proud and glorious record.

A Happy Sundy.

habit of so passing this day when once
formed, would make us happy in it, and
a source of happiness to offers. 1t would

ferent kind from, and of higher sort
than, the bread-and-butte, hunt of a
