in Georgia.

The COwardly Revenge OF Siahuerer
in Georgia.
DUBLIN, Ca, November 17.-Five men
are in jail here, charged with the MUIR
der of Captain David Williamson, one
of the most prominent lanters in this
State. Captain Williamson has beau
tiful wife. He heard that neighbor
named Jackson had made disparaglng
remarks about her to a number of per-
sons, offering himself as witness of the
truth of what lie said. Williamson called
upon the offender and challenged him
as to the truth of his statement. The
man broke down under the challenge,
whereupon at the muzzle of a shotgun
Captain Williamson marched the SLAM
derer to the presence of the woman
whose good name he had impugned, and
compelled him to humbly acknowledge
his SANDER. The Captain then tied
Jackson to tree, barred his back and
gave him fifty lashes in the most vigor-
Gus manner, after which he turned him
loose. Several days later the dead body
of Captain Williamson was found on the
public road, his body fairly riddled by
bullet hole. One of the men under ar
rest acknowledged that the murder OF
Captain Williamson was planned by
Jackson, who paid them for disposing OF
his enemy,

While all the burdens of the day,
The care and trouble, tell awayl
New purpose seemed to grow in me
To struggle for the victory,
And by the tireslde's happy light
l breathed silent prayer to-nigntl
l never guessed in times gone by
How much there was to fret and try
The sweetest temper all day long
Was 1t today when things went wrong,
che ked the hasty angry word.
Hearing the tones my childhood heard,
Seeing in memory the while
The vision of vanished smilel
The children, crowding at my side,
Need me and will not be denied
The home her presence made so bright
Needs me, and must be its light
The boys and girls too soon will go
From sheltering arms of love, know
May the sweet influence of home
Be theirs wherever they may roaml
Yes! it is little can do
Yet faith in God will bear me through
And give me wisdom to fulfill - .

Should find in me--bereft of her,

Whenever IDEAL industry has been touched
by the Wilson bill calamity vail has fol-
lowed Immediately 4 he most absurd howl
that has yet been heard was that of the Ken
lucky members of the House who declared
that the increase Of the revenue ta < on
whisky from 30 cents to 81 per gallon would
destroy the whisky interests OF their state
In view OF the fact, however, that the con-
sumers of the tineture of trouble paw the tax,
1t is difficult to understand in what way the
distillers will suffer. Ihe Kentucky deleGa-
tion should explain.

stand by the President.
From the Baltimore News tDen

1t is the President intention to execute
the commission entrusted to him and to his
party, fhe must encounter the i'll will and
opposition of self styled leaders, whose per-
sonal interests are damaged by the honest
performance OF party promises he cannot on
that account, be false TO his trust he is
doing the will Of the people, at the command
OF the people. He cannot listen 20 recalcitrant
democrats nor be governed by their selfish
and unpatriotic motives. They are in the
wrong. There is discord, We admit, and
harmony should be restored. The President
is IN harmony with the people. ais enemies
are not. Let them harmonic themselves
with the people. Then there Will be no
longer discord between them and the Presi-
dent.

Make the Improvement.

The city council is talking about
improving Gwinnett from Whitaker
street to the new water works The
improvement should be made at
once. The pavement should be of shell
or ofachert. A roadway thirty feet in
width would be plenty wide enough. That
would leave plenty of room for side
walk and wide grass plat on either
side. And quick growing trees should be
planted in the grass plats.
There is also talk of little park at the
water works. The park will be estab-
lished in time. What is wanted at once
is fiue driveway and good sidewalks to
the water works.
If Gwinnett should be improved, as
suggested, it would become a popular
promenade. Hundreds of people would
stroll out to the water works on pleasant
days.
Cannot the council find sufficient money
to do this workl The people never grum-
BILE at taxes for street improvements.
They grumble because so little street
paving is done
What about chertl Is the council not
satisfied that it is superior to shells for
street pavingl 1t is much cheaper. If
the council has not investigated the ebert
question, it ought to do so, because it is
important. Let us see what can be done
towards improving Gwinnett street to the
water works this spring. Have an esti-
mate made of the cost of the work, and
perhaps the necessary money can be
found

CURRENT COMMENT.
The Tariff in the Senate.

From the Baltimore Sun (Dem).
The tariff bill should be discussed and dealt
with as measure of tariff revision, upon its
own merits. The income tax bill as a meas
ure designed TO meet an anticipated falling
cf in the revenues derived from customs. in
the event that the tariff is redCced should be
allowed to stand or fall upon its merits. We

mistake in linking the two measures as one

resigning from his position. There is
also talk to the effect that Mrs. Dole,

not let him do anything of the kind. Mrs.
Dole is said to be very ambitious, a wo-

that her Sandy" shall be the first presi-
