AN OLD-TIME POLITICIAN.
(Report for Glass B, by j. Id

Cicero is the character par excellence of
Roman antiquity. Not as a statesman. orator.
scholar or philosopher. but as a typical repre-
sentative of the genus politician. Viewed as
such. we see that evolution, whatever its inu-
ence may have effected in other types, has in
this. failed of improvements rather has the type
degenerated; for the present day prototype has
less brain though greater stomach capacity, less
love of man and country and greater love of self.
In other respects the type is identical. All means
for your own end. was the motto then as it is
to-day. Praise and cenSure. generosity and self

The editor was present at the Chautaliqua
meeting of last Sunday. during which was dis
cussed and voted on. the question Of dropping
religious subjects and any text books bearing
on such. from the course of studies. The maker
of the motion seems to have been misunderstood
its discussion. but wished the classes to put
themselves on record pro and con. His motion
was clearly outvoted. and wisely. Discussion is
the winnOwing machine of the intelligent man:
by it he shakes the chaff to the top ard blows
the grain free for mental food. 1t is the pillow
turning up the earth TO expose the nutrient to
the action of wind and sun. Truth alone can
stand the search light of discussion and the more
you search the more plain becomes the divine
principle that dominates creation. Man was
given the knowledge of good and evil; it is his
tanning mill and those who keep anything from
It's action are only melting the innate obstinacy
of the animal to seek for that which is denied
him. In candy or cake shops there are no muz-
lies on the employees. for the simple reason that
they quickly get cloyed with the unwhOlesOme
diet and regret it. SO with mans mind; he can

lection. Christ never courted discussion but he
met it at every turn with his simple, plain. broad
rule of humanity before which all Sophistries
were swept away.

DROPPED OUT OF SIGHT.
Col. R. ]. Davant's Little Grandson,
Randolph West, Missing.

Randolph West, the little 9-year-old
grandson Of Col. r. J. Davant, mysteri-
ously disappeared about o'clock last
night, and, Notwithstanding a thorough
search has been made, he had not been
found up TO o'clock this morning.
The lad is the son of MIR. J. G. West of
Atlanta, and has been spending some
time with islgrandfather, Col Davant,
at Guyton. Col. Davant has brought
the boy down to the city with him sew
eral times. Yesterday morning young Ran
dolph came down with his grandfather
and spent the day at Col. Davant's Office
on Bay street, and in going around the
city with his uncle, r. j. Davant, Jr He
seemed greatly interested in the ships
and boats along the wharves and spent a
good deal of his time there, but was
specially instructed not to go near the
edge of the wharves.
The boy was in Col. Davant's Office
about D As o'clock. Mr. r. j. Davant, Jr.,
went out about that time, and after at
tending to some business strolled down to
the Central depot TO take the train for
Guyton. There he found his father,
but young Randolph was not with him.
1t seems that the boy had strOlled out
few minutes after Mr.. Davant left the
office. His grandfather supposed that he
had gone with his uncle and so took no
notice of his absence. Mr.. Davant re-
turned to the Office to look for the boy,
and not finding him there Immediately
instituted an active search. He went to
the wharf below the office and other
places where the boy had been during
the day, but no trace could be found of
him.
The police were notified last night and
the services of Detectives Hanleyand Bos-
sell were engaged. The police de-
tail which went out at y o'clock
was notified to keep a lookout for the
boy. Notwithstanding the thorough
search, not trace was found of him.
Col. Davant and his son are greatly
distressed and will make every eff
1t is possible that the boy might
have walked off the wharf into the
water, as he seemed very fond of going on
the wharves, but this is not very likely,
as there were a number of men at work
upon the Ethel, the Alpha and the other
boats along the wharf at the time and
he could hardly have gone overheard
without their seeing him.
The missing boy had on straw hat
with the brim twisted up behind and
down in front, a plain white waist, dark
blue pantaloons, black stockings and
laced shoes. Not being acquainted with
the city it would be very easy matter
for him to get lost, but as he is an intelli-
gent little fellow it would seem
that he would be able to give sufficient
Information of himself to some one who
would take him to his friends or to the
police headquarters at least.
Up to 2:30 o'clock this.morning, after an
active and thorough search all the night,
no information had been obtained that
would give the slightest clew to his
whereabouts.

a SUIT FOR COMMISSIONS.
The Result of Third Party's Sale of
Piano for Music House.

There was a somewhat unusual case on
trial before Justice Elsinger yesterday
Mr.. NJ. p. Brannan, as plaintiff, claimed
a commission of $50 from the Ludden &
Bates Southern Music House for the sale
of piano.
1t appears that Mr. Brannan agreed
to sell a piano for the company on the
percentage allowed by it. The commits
sion was 10 per cent, as stated by Mr..
Murphy. A few days after the agree
ment Mr.. Brannan brought Mr.
Harvey to the music house
salesrooms and there Mr.. Har-
vey inspected the stock of pianos He had
not completely made up his mind as to
the purchase up to that time, and said he
would call again.
When Mr.. Harvey next came in he pur-
chased a $500 instrument, but Mr. Bran
non was not present at the time of the
sale. Upon learning of the sale he put in
his claim for $50, ten per cent. commission
on the piano. Mr.. Murphy refused to pay
this claim, explainingthat the custom of
the house was to pay commissions to par
ties who did the selling and were present
with the purchaser at the time the pur-
chase was made.
Mr.. w. M. Haywood, who appeared for
Brannen, commended that the custom as
stated by Mr.. Murphy should have been
expressed in writing and he therefore
asLed Judgment for his client. The re-
quest for judgment was granted.
