A Distinguished Horse Fancier.

ITS a well-known fact in Texas" re-
marked a gentleman from that state at
the Hoffman house, according to the New
York Sun, that Buck Kilgore, eX-con-
gresham, now Judge, used to own the
worst horse in his county, and he never
owned but one at a time, simply because
two horses of such quality couldn't be
found in the entire state. As an illustra-
ton of the case. let me tell you a story.
There being no objection, the gentle
ut seems" he said. that fellow had
been caught with horse in the county
adjoining Judge KilgOres county which
he could not satisfactorily account for.
The more he tried TO explain matters the
deeper into the hole he went, until the
captors concluded the best way to settle
the difficulty was TO hang the man and
await developments. A very few minutes
after this determination the funeral cor
tege approached the nearest tree, with the
man on the stolen horse to make it more
impressive. The arrangements for the
final scene We're completed and the leader
was about to hit the horse with his whip
TO drive him from beneath the culprit
who was attached to the limb of the tree
by rope, when couple of men rode by
and stopped to see the performance. They
knew the leader of the party and he in
vited them to take hand.
Why" exclaimed one of them, that
Buck Kilgore's horse. Where did you
come across it?'
That's the boss the thief STOLE replied
the leader land we thought we'd let him
have his last ride on 1t. And he began TO
look the animal over. Are you sure it.
Bucks?" he asked after his Investigation.
''Of course. Would anybody else have
that kind of hoss?'
WELL admitted the leader, 81 reckon
you're right, since come to look at 1t.
You see, we was thinking more about the
moral side of the case than at the boss. "
''Then he turned to his followers.
Boys" he said. this boss is Buck Kill
cores. You all know what we think of a
man in Texas that will steal boss, and
you all know what we think of the kind of
bosses that Buck Kilgore owns. Now, in
the name of justice, l ask you If we ought
to hang this MANI"
mo, Stree Bobp' yelled the crowd.
what ought we to do with him? l say
we ought to take uD q collection and give
thesfeller money enough and time enough
to ride the boss clean out of the state. All
in favor of that motion say Aye" And
the motion passed with vociferous unan-
unity"

The Campaign I'm the Tenth.

Afajcr Black Is not boasting or Dragging
or appealing to passion or prejudice in the
campaign he is making in the Tenth dis
trict for reelection to congress. He and
his friends are. however. doing a great
deal of quiet and effective work. Their
purpose is TO get out the full democratic
vote They have been quite successful
In the matter of registration. much more
successful than they had reason TO ex-
peet in view Of the fact that the election
is a special one, and there is reason for
saying that they will not be disappointed
in the number of ballots cast.
Maj. Black is regarded as a man of
high character and first class ability, and
that is one Of the chief reasons why there
Is so much interest in his canvas. We
are not prepared to speak Of the demo-
Gratis Of other counties of the Tenth dis
trict. but we feel pretty certain that the
majority OF the democrats of Richmond
county favor sound money. They are not.
therefore. in harmony with Maj. Black
on the silver question. They much pre-
fer Maj. Black to Mr.. Watson, however.
and they will vote for MIN notwithstand-
ing the fact that he is an avowed friend
to the free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer.
We have no doubt that Maj. Black will
be reelected. His re-eiecuon will be
heavy blow to the populist party. 1t will
show that that party, especially in the
Tenth district. readily lent itself to the
work of abusing and viilifying Maj.
Black and the Democratic party without
reason. simply because its candidate was
beaten. Maj. Black Resigned in order
70 let the populists prove, if they could,
that he was elected by fraud. The popu-
lists will fail to elect Mr.. Watson. and
hence will fail TO prove their charges
against Maj. Black and the Democratic
party. That state of affairs will disgust
the better element of the populist with
populist methods and lead them to
leave the populist party.

September sunshine.



The day of the blossom is over, the clema-
It's twines it's wreath;
The lace-fioWer waves in the meadow the
corn is ripe in the sheath;
Sweet in the cir is the scent of the vine,
the orchard bends with its load;
Armies with banners in serried ranks
march upon every road;
Golden-rod, sumac and aster are guarding
each Way-side pass,
And the honeyed watt of the aftermath
drifts from the springing grass.
Lazily homeward wings the bee when his
spoils are gathered in:
The tree-toad hides in the shadowy wood;
the lilies that toll nor spin,
That listen all night to the cr1cketS and
sway in the mOonlit dew.
Stand taper and tall in the sunshine the
beautiful long day through.
Fair is the royal September, and rich is
the wine out-poured
In these hours of blithe fulfiillment at Ma
lures bounteouS board;
For the hour of the blossom is over, the
hour of the bud in blow,
And here is the crown of summer, ere
vet it's her time to 60
With the lace<f1ower white on the meadow,
the clematis twining its wreath
Purple the grape in the cluster, and ripen-
ed the corn in the sheath.

Col. Haines, Rcsignation.

The announcement that Col. H. S.
Haines' connection with the Plant system
had ceased, caused no surprise. 1t was pub
lished before he made his recent trip to
Europe that he had rendered his resigna-
ton His reasons for resignlng are I'M
knownsto the public.
The Setter part of Col. Haines' life work
has been done on the Plant system. I'm
der his direction the Savannah, Florida
and Western railway and other roads of
that system have become a magnificent
property. 1t is largely due to his ability
as a railroad manager and his fidelity to
his trust that the system is in such SPLEEN
did physical condition, so well equipped
and so sound financially.
Col Haines has always been friend to
Savannah, and whatever he could do, con-
sistent with his duty TO the Plant system.
to advance her prosperity, he did.
Col. Haines has earned a period of rest,
but 1t would not be like him to remain
idle, and there is no danger of his being
idle from necessity. Few men in the rail-
road world have so good reputation for
ability and worth as he. Being in a posi-
ton to choose, he will hardly be an appli-
cant for any position.

Notwithstanding the gold reserve has.
during several days recently, been below
the 500, 100000 limit" there is not, and
has not been. the slightest uneasiness
manifested in business or financial circles
For all practical purposes the reserve has
been as effective as if it had stood five
time as many millions above the mark
as it was below the mark. The reason
is that there is absolute confidence in the
administration that it will preserve the
parity of the dollars and the credit of the
nation.

Merely a Matter of once.
From the Birmingham Age-Herald Deml

Senator Pugh did not attend the free
silver conference in Washington, yet it
was near at hand, and that was the oc-
casion for him TO give the free oliver men
the benefit of his experience and informa-
ton. But he comes a long way through
the heat and dust to attend little gath
ering of free silver men in his own state;
The inference is inevitable; the senator
really does not believe that the free coin
age of silver would benefit the country,
and only cares for the success of the
cause as it affects his political aspirations.
How many other politicians are at heart
sound money men and yet advocate free
coinage from a selfish motive?

Carlisle as a "POssibiIity."
From Columbus (Ga) Enquirer-Sun Dem)

The opposition to the suggestion of
Hon. John G.. Carlisle AS the next dem
ocratic nominee for President comes ex-
clusively from anti-administration or
gans. Some of them claim that he is not
the Carlisle the people used to know and
admire, and that several millions fail to
recognize him now as the same. We do
not mind admitting the change. The fact
is Mr.. Carlisle is bigger and broader
statesman than he ever was before. and
he has a greater hold on the people. This
is not pleasing to the free silver, anti
Administration ORGANS, but 1t is true.

An Atlanta Exposition concession
aire paid 5000 for the privi-
lege of selling chewing gum on
the grounds-so an Atlanta paper says.
hence it must be correct-and is now adj
vertising for cashiers to handle the nick
els and pennies he anticipates taking in.
It will be necessary to sell 6O.OO0 packages
Of gum, or 100000 chews, to pay for the
concession. Calculating that the conces-
sion viii cost about 10 per cent. of the
value Of the gross business, it will be
seen that the concessionaire estimates that
not less than 100000 wads Of gum win be
mastieated during the few short weeks
Of the show.
