severely executed and where detectives are expected to watch a whole county apiece.
 Already the governor has been required to use a cash register, and even his friends regard this as an indication that the state treasurer will have to sit up nights when business is good and watch the governor.
 Ten cases of apolhnaris were received here yesterday. and it was noticed that when opened they did not pop. There has been an era of good feeling ever since. Northern and southern guests have shaken hands and even hugged each other in some instances while talking over the late war.
 Some said they were glad of it. One South Carolinian said it turned out just as he knew it would from the start. "Oh, mo-" said a man from Massachu- setts, trying to. sit on the mantelpiece, "the north could have been whipped 40 times in so many weeks if the south had read the papers, and am sorry it was not done, for we never had such fun be- fore the war as we are having now"
 We were wrong from the start said the southern man. We should have taken the niggers back to where we got them and paid Africa $50 per month for their time. I saw that all the while. Then there would have been an era of good feeling. like an era of good feel ing, don't you?'
 Yes" said the Massachusetts man, ''and we might have had it 40 years ago if could have had my way. My theory was for the abolitionists to buy out the slaves and take them north. where we would treat them so well that they would gradually die off of gout. But, no; noth- ing would do but fight, fight, fight. hate to fight, and 1 hate to see people | fight just because the politicians need | the excitement. Don't you? You fought because the brass mounted orators with alligator lungs told you there was a principle involved, and so did we, when in fact there wasn't blamed principle in the whole business. It was just suf- fer and die and make the papers spicy for four years and then take all the next 90 years to pay for it."
 That's my idea. You see how few eras of good feeling we have had in the last B years! Well, my idea would be to have one every night. No north, no south. no cast. no west: just have eraS of good feeling on Thursdays and Fridays anyhow. and Oftener if possible. Who was benefited by the war? Why, nobody but people who escaped the draft and spoke pieces at home. I'm man $ years old, and I can safely say that though l was q soldier and slept in my clothes as long as they lasted and ate field corn most of the time, there was not a moment when 1 would not have gladly gone to some quiet place with 8 northern man like you and opened al era of good feeling with him."
 That's it exactly. The war is over and who's got the nigger? You have He entities you to a whole lot of con gressmen and lets you pick out the con gressmen. How much are we ahead or the war? We have 80 middle aged single women to one man where we ought tc have homes and taxpayers. You've go the niggers to feed, clOthe and execute and we have most of our best men buried in your cotton fields. That's the result of the war. Who brought on the war Show me the man, and I'll show you { man who did not enlist. He remained at home and cussed because the paper in their lists of dead did not print thu names of his wife's relatives correctly Here's to Tillman. In this pure elemen we pledge fidelity to our era of goot feeling. I'll bet a dollar TillmaI brought on the war, if we could get a the facts"
 "Yes, Tillman would bring on a wa

 when it arrived, but he couldn't. He i
 the kind of man to bring on a war ant
 let some other man fight it. If we coul'
 have got fanatics like him into Vicksbur

 War is only a good thing for sutler and bad women.
 "I say, dog on the war"
 That's 1t. Dog on the war. Fac town has got nice soldiers monumer
