A Misleading Campaign.

There is much in the campaign that
has been started by Tom Watson to
cause the people of Georgia more than
ordinary concern.
To the casual observer it may seem
that his object in making circuit of the
state at this time is merely to advertise
Tom Watson, and again a little self-glo-
rification by passing as a martyr to a
lost cause.
If this idea should fasten itself upon
the minds of the people, serious mistake
will have been made.
Watson is far from being the harm
less blusterel that political wise-acres
would describe. He is f. rcible speaker,
bold and tireess political worker, a
shrewd calculating campaigner, and with
all man who delivers himself with the
earnestness and defends his position
with plausibility that is sure to breed
trouble.
He is shrewd and designing enough to
take advantage of every delay and mis-
take that is made by the next Congress,
and use these to bolster mp his own plat
form as representing the only relief
that has been offered the people in good
faith
His manner in addressing the negro is
at once ingenious and threatening
and, we think, means that Watson has a
political surprise to spring on the dem
ocracy Of Georgia.

Singing Mice.

1t is a tact that mice can and often do
sing. A writer in La Nature tells of two
singing mice which he observed fo1
several months. One mouse learned to
sing from canary, but the other was
taught by its companion. A correspond
ent of Forest and Stream, writing from
indianapolis, tells of his observation of a
singing mouse:
On Monday evening, as l sat reading
by the fire, heard what at first thought
was boy passing along the street, imi-
tating the MARBLE of canary bird. Pres
emily, however, l discovered that the
noise was not in the street, but in the
room where 1 was sitting, and further
that it was made by mouse.
The little FELLOW was evidently upon a
foraging expedition, and was, if one
might Judge from his song, as light
hearted as the canary whom he so per-
fectly initiated.
listened in wonder, and then proceed
ed to arouse nay family, who had retired,
telling them that l wanted them to hear
what they had never heard, and what
they might never have an opportunity of
hearing again.
The little fellow seemed very tame, and
for upward of an hour played around my
feet, and hi lie and seek under my chair,
and then, probably thinking that it was
time for serenaders to be in bed, van
ished.
l listened very attentively during the
whole time to see if the singing might be
;tributed to any disease of an asthmatic
nature, but the tones were as clear as
those of bird, and from the fact that
the song was intermittent, l cane to the
conclusion that mousey sang because
he wanted to and not because he could
not help it.

RoTTED OFF BY BEER.
Surprising Statement Made by Some Bell
vile Hospital Surgeons.

From the New York Recorder
This is not temperance treatise, but
it has bit of fact in it that the total OBJ
stainer may show to the beer-dtinker
whenever occasion offers. The attention
of the New York hospital surgeons has
been called to the big number of bar.ten-
ders that have lost several fingers from
both hands within the last few years.
The first case was that of an employe of
the Bowery Concert Hall. Three of the
fingers on the light hand and two on the
left were rotted away when he called at
Bellevue one day and begged the doctors
to explain the reason. He said his bust
ness was to draw beer for the thousands
who visited the garden nightly. The man
was in the best of health otherwise, and
it took the young doctors quite time to
arrive at any conclusion But they did
finally, and it nearly took the beer man S
breath away when they did.
your fingers have been rotted off, "
they said, ''by the beer which you han
uled."
Other cases of similar nature came
rapidly after this one, and to-day the
physicians estimate there is an army of
employees of saloons whose fingers are
being ruined by the same cause. The
acids and resin in the beer are said to be
responsible.
The mead bartender of a wellknown
downtown saloon says he knows num-
Der of cases where bee drawers have, in
addition to loosing several of the fingers
of both hands, lost the use of both mem
bers. "Beer will rot iron, l believe" he
added. II know, and every other barten-
der knows that it is impossible to keep a
good pair of shoes behind the bar. Beer
will rot leather as rapidly as acid will
eat into iron. If were a temperance
orator I'd ask what must beer do to
mem stomachs if it eats away mems
fingers and their shoe leather? L m here
to sell it, but won drink it, not much. -"

Turner for the Senate.

From the WaycrOsS Herald.
The Herald nails the name of Henry G..
Turner, of Brooks, to it's masthead to-
day as its candidate for u nited States
Senator, and proposes to use every legit-
innate means in it's power TO secure his
election. We claim TINT under the cir
cumstances the announcement is not ILL
timed or premature. Other candidates
have been announced, and it is not all
impossible that their followers are try
ing to get the "cinck'' on certain coun-
ties. Let it be understood throughout
the length and breadth of the state, that
Turner will be in the race. south Geor-
gia now presents the name of one who is
the peer of any man in the country,
north or south. Many of the best men
in north Georgia have signified their de-
sire to do south Georgia justice. The
opportunity will now be presented them
and we do not fear the result.

A New way to stop Drinking.


From the Albany News and Advertiser.
There lived in Albany a man named
Domby, who was habitual drunkard.
1t was just all he could do to make "both
ends meet in the way of a livelihood. He
made promise after promise, until his
wife and friends lost confidence in him.
He was a good hearted, mail fellOw-well
met" sort of man, whom every body
liked. Returning home one day, he enter
ed the sitting room. His wife was super
intending the dinner, while has son,
their only child, was playing on the floor.
His wife heard him when he ebt cred, and
stepped across the hallway into the room
She noticed that 10 his hand he held an
inch auger, and she asked him what he
was going to do with it He deigned to
reply, but in the middle of the room he
bored hole through the floor, and then
turning to his wife he said: "When that
hole grows up I'll take another drink,
but not before" His wife was overcome
with joy, threw her arms around his
neck, and pointing to their son, she re-
marked: ''Thank God for his saker' He
remained true to his promise, while his
wife took care that the hole was kept
free from all distractions. He died hon
ored and loved by the community.

HOW THE WORLD WILL END.
ii VIII Nor Be an Accidental But a Natural
Death.

According to all probability, notwith-
standing all the circumstances which
threaten it our planet will die, not of an
accident, but natural death. That death
will be the consequence of the extinction
of the sun in 100000 years or more
perhaps thirty-Ince its condensation at
a relatively moderate rate will give it,
CD one hand, 1900, 900 years of exist
ence, while on the O.her hand, the inevi-
table fall Of meteors into the sun may
double this number, says L'Astronomie.
Even if you suppose the duration of
the sun to be prolonged to 10000, 900
years, it is still incontestable that the
radiatiOnS from the sun cools it, and that
the temperature of all DO lies tends to an
equilibrium. Then the earth and all
other planets of our system will cease to
be the abode of life. They will be erased
from the great book and will revolve,
black cemeteries, around an extinguish-
ed sun.
Will these planets continue to exist
then? Yes, probably, in the case of Jupi-
ter, and perhaps Saturn No, beyond a
doubt for the smaller bodies, as the
earth, Venus, Mars, Mercury and the
moon. Already the moon appears to
have preceded US toward the final desert.
Mars is much further advanced than the
earth toward the same destiny.

A south Georgia Wizard.

A gentleman who recently made a tour
of Libety county for the purpose Of be-
coming acquainted with the characteris-
ties 0 the negroes there, tells strange
story.
re learned from negro that a woman
had been ''conjured, and was acting in
a strange manner, and that the MAN who
had put her under the spell was then do
ing business in the neighborhOod.
The stranger had curiosity to see
him, and, guided by boy, he discover
ed the wizard in his den-a small cabin
in the woods at nightfall.
When the black wizard saw him he
began all manner of lamentations and
contortions, going so far as to take live
snake from a box and whirl it Kissing in
to the air, until its body was spinning
around like cartwheel. He evidently
thought to brighten the stranger away,
but the latter was too curious to leave
just then.
~ came" he said, ito have frog re-
moved from my head" and 50 saying he
laid silver dollar on the bench near by.
That won the wizard, and he babe the
gentleman lie down on the ground. Then
when his patient was stretched out at
full length he whipped out trusty ra-
zor and sprinkled salt on the blade.
The man on the grass saw and trem-
bled.
Then the wizard made circle around
him, pronouncing strange words the
while and stopped, put his knees upon
the patients breast, and glared into his
eyes, razor in hand.
That was too much. The man on the
ground sprang to his feet and made a
bee line for the big road, the boy scream
ing at his heels.

ers In mine," said the late patient, "that
razor was too formidable"
