why Not Grow whiskers.

The friends of Mr.. James F. Buckner,
secretary of the board of trade, are qui-
city chuckling over an incident that is
said to have occurred during his recent
trip to Atlanta, says the Louisville Cour-
ier-Journal. Mr. Buckner is known to his
intimate friends as Colonel" and when
he was at Atlanta his associates delight
ed to introduce him as "Col. Buckner of
Kentucky" Although he is not youthful
in appearance Mr.. Buckner wears his age
very gracefully, and IT was a source of
much comment among the Georgians to
whom he was introduced as to how so
young a man could have seen service in
the late war much less rise to the rank
of colonel. Finally one of the southern
ers could stand it no longer, and when a
suitable opportunity was presented he
asked Mr.. Buckner:
Colonel to which army did you be-
long
ITO the American army" responded
Mr.. Buckner, with becoming gravity.
The Georgian was nonplused for a mo-
ment. but at last said:
But, colonel, you must remember that
both of the armies of the late war were
composed of Americans. There was no
American army engaged in the late war -
Perhaps not in the late war" respond
ed Mr.. Buckner. sweetly, but was there
no American army engaged in the revo-
lutiOnary WARP"

The Parsons speculation.

The craze for speculation in South AZ
rican gold mining stocks which has had
possession of England for several months
has developed some amusing features. It
is related in the SUMS cablegrams from
London that a country parson wrote 10
MIR Barney Barnato, who is reported to
have accumulated a fabulous fortune in
specializing in South African mining
shares, that he had been financially ruin
ed by investing his savings in Mr.. Barna-
to's bank. The parsons letter was as
follows: MY aim has always been in
vestment, not speculation. When your
bank came out regarded it's shares as an
investment, and purchased 400 of them at
GA, sinking my little all in them, and a
good deal more. They have now fallen to
-, and l am undone. 1 cannot face my
parish as a bankrupt. and what am 1 do?
1 throw myself upon your mercy"
The parsons pitiful letter touched Mr.
Barnato's tender heart. He could not
sleep we'll for thinking of the poor par
therefore and in order to have a good
deed placed to his account in the great
judgment book he notified the parson that
he would buy back his shares at the price
paid for them. The parsons morality
was much like the heather Chinese's as
the sequel shows. When he received Mr..
Barnatos kindly offer he at once wired to
his brokers in London as follows: Buy
400 shares of Barnato's bank stock at -
per share and send them to Mr.. Barnato
who viii give you "a per share for them"
Although this parson lived in the coun-
try, and appeared to be without guile, re
was not above practicing deception to in
crease his little hoard against rainy
day. Perhaps he thought there was no
wrong in relieving the man of many mil
lions of a fraction of his surplus wealth
by means he could not justify by any
text in the good book from which he drew
lessons on Sundays for the benefit of his
congregation.

The Safest of Risks.

After moving large stock of goods into
a building in the wholesale district the
owners learned that they could set no in
surance says the Chicago Record.
The building was on the BLACK list" of
the insurance companies, because one of
the tenants had already burned out four
times under suspicious circumstances and
apparently, with pecuniary profit to him
self
1t was, therefore, impossible for this
tenant to get insurance from any COM
pany, and the boycott went so far as to
include any building that harbored him or
his stock of goods.
The business concern that had moved
into the "blacklisted" building was much
disturbed. The head of the firm went to an
insurance agent and said: Il wish you
could arrange it in some way to insure our
stock"
I'm sorry" replied the agent; but the
companies have no confidence in that man
on the floor above"
He can't get insurance, eh?'
Not a dents worth. They're onto him
all along the line"
well, do you think there's any danger
of fire in that building as long as he's
not insured?'
well, should say not. I never thought
of that before"
The firm received it's policy at once.

The prospect that the present congress
viii guarantee 100000 of the Mica
rauga canal bonds is not promising. The
commission appointed by the President
last April to investigate and report upon
the feasibility and expense of construc-
ton of the canal has made its report,
which. as stated in our dispatches yester-
day. is not favorable.
When the bill was introduced into con-
gress to get the Endorsement Of the gov
eminent on Sl0aO0o.00o of the canal bonds
it was very generally understood that
the cost of constructing the canal would
not exceed that sum. In fact. the esti-
mate of the Nicaragua Canal Company
was that the canal could be constructed
for about S7oo0QOOo.
Mr.. CIeveland's commission reports
that it would cost at least $I3l. 2S93 to
construct the canal 1t also reports that
1t is doubtful whether the canal is
feasible project, and recommends that
$500 he appropriated for a thorough
survey OF the whole route. 1t would take,
the commission says. year and a half
to make the survey. The chances arc
that it would take two years.
1t is not probable that congress would
indorse 500, 10000 worth of bonds without
being pretty certain. that the canal
is feasible undertaking and
without knowing quite definitely the cost
OF construction. 1t would be folly to
guarantee SlOOO00.OO0 of the canal COM
pany's bonds, with an almost absolute
certainty that the canal could not be
constructed for that sum- and with
doubt as to whether the undertaking is
practicable one. If the government
should guarantee bonds under such cir
cumstances. it would do so with the I'M
derstanding that it might lose the whole
amount, or might have to guarantee $50
OOo.oO or $1CO,OOOOoO more bonds.
That such a canal would be extremely
advantageous to the commerce of this
country, and in fact to the whole world.
there isn't a shadow Of a doubt The
character and Importance of these ad-
vantages have been pointed out frequent
ly. But the government is not going into
the Nicaragua canal project without first
being certain as to its cost and without
being fully satisfied as to whether or not
it is feasible.
A week or so ago # was announced
that the canal company had received from
London offers of all the money needed
for the work. 1t may have received offers
of that kind, but the country will believe
it has only when the terms of the alleged
contract are made known. 1t is more
than likely that the story of the London
offers was set ahoat for the purpose of
influencing congress to take hold of the
construction of the canal. If that was
the purpose, it will fail. Congress will
not act in the matter without first being
sure of what it is doing The Panama
canal failure is too recent to expect that
the building of the Nicaragua canal will
be undertaken by this country, or by
capitalists, without definite information
as to its cost Of construction and feast
bility.

TnImap,. T.lor,caI ProposItIon.

In the South Carolina constitutional
convention Senator Tinman proposed
that. as a remedy for the lynching evil.
every person engaged in lynching should
be fined 500 and remain in jail until the
fine was paid. Lynching IS murder, and
those who engage In lynchings are guilty
Of murder. the punishment for which is
death. Senator Tnlman proposed TO i'm
pose lighter punishment.
If no persons are identified as lynch
ers under the law as il is al present is it
likely any would be if the punishment for
engaging in Iynching were a heavy fine?
We do not think so.
1t would be a much better remedy for
the lynching evil to let the crime of lynch
ing remain as it is, namely. murder, and
enact law that a county in which lynch
ing occurs shall pay reward of $1,000.
or 5000. or even more for Information
leading to the arrest and conviction Of
persons who TAKE part in a lynching.
With such a law in force evidence TO con-
vict lynchers would be secured, in all
probability.
The legislature of this state should take
up this matter of lynching at once. We
have courts to enforce the law. There
is no condition of affairs in any county
that affords a justification of mob law.
Misguided or lawlessly inclined men
should not be permitted to injure the
state in order 10 carry out their crude
ideas of justice or to satisfy their desire
for Nengence

The Perdue Lynching.
From the Macon Telegraph Oem).

There has been no more wanton or bar
barous crime committed in Georgia, if
the circumstances are correctly stated in
the dispatches, and it will be a great mis-
fortune to the people of the state If the
men who committed it go unpublished.
We are sure the governor will do his duty
in the premises, but his powers are linn
tied. The people of the county in which
the lynching occurred are primarily re-
sponsble. They can catch the criminals
and punish them; nobody can do this in
spite of them. Lynchings have grown in
to be feared that they will not be pun
ished until they have become so numer-
acter of the state and of its people, or
until the law makes lynching so costly to
the counties and their officials that the
lynchers will have an active and intel
ested opposition The horrible tragedy
reported from Mt. Vernon will. we hope,
cause the legislature to take up the SUBJ
ject with a determination to do all it can
to put an end to lynchingS in this state.

Time to Call a Halt.
From the Macon News Deml.

The cowardly murder of Prof. Perdue
in Montgomery county on Friday night
last by a band of armed assasSins cannot
be dignified by being alluded to as a lynch
ing. 1t was nothing more nor less than
brutal, fiendish murder of a helpless
old man, and such punishment as is met
ed out to perpetrators of such crimes
would be none too severe for the Ipen
who participated therein. In heavens
name, let us put stop to such crimes.
Both to the crime with which Perdue was
charged and of which his assassins are
guilty. The parent or the husband who
takes the law in his own hands will be
justified by the law and by public sent-
ment in one case, but neither the law
nor public sentiment can countenance
the other. And for Georgia's sake, let us
make an example of the perpetrators of
this fearful crime There is no denying
the fact, as some one has already eX-
pressed it, that the principal obstacle TO
the development of the south is the dis
trust which outbreaks of lawlessness in
spire in those who might otherwise set
tie here. The commission of the worst
of these crimes within our own state
makes the duty of her chief executive i'm
perative. He should disregard all prece-
dent and all practice, if need be, in pun
iShing its perpetrators. He should call
out the armed force OF the state, If neces-
sins. He should stop at nothing that is
necessary to uphold the law and the dig
nifty of the state. 1t all depends upon
whether or not he has the backbone.
There is sufficient law to answer the de-
nands Of the case. His own people and
the people OF this and other countries are
watching him.

The holiday shopping may be said to be
fairly opened now. Purchases for Thanks
giving are being made, and by the time
Thanksgiving is over it will be time for
the making of Christmas selections. There
fore. now is a good time to remind Sa-
vannah purchasers that the merchants
of this city are showing particularly fun
and handsome stocks, which they are
selling at reasonable prices. There is not
a satisfactory reason that can be given
why the merchants of Savannah should
not supply the people of Savannah with
all of their holiday goods-and goods that
are not especially for the holidays. There
IS too much sending away for articles that
can be had right here at home, and for
probably less money. If the people who
are in the habit of sending away for their
purchases will just take the trouble to
investigate the stocks in the Savannah
stores. and compare the prices, we are
satisfied that there will be less sending
away for goods. During the next six
weeks # Will be an especially good time to
see what the local merchants have got.
and how cheaply they can afford 10 sell
their goods.

Staten Island ferry house the other day

that his leg had been bitten off by a shark

The convention has done wisely and
well in providing so rigorous penalties
for the officers and the community which
rest, and while in custody. The article is
defective, however, in that IL fails to pro-
vide for the payment of damages to the
family of a man who is lynched without
having been taken into custody by officers

mob is as numerous, we believe as. 20.

cases, rather than to deter them from
such action.
