CONTRARY 10 THE CONSTITUTION
How 1t Has Been Fastened
on a Newspaper.

In the far west not much
respect is paid to titles.
Neally every man IS a "Col-

1t is so little thought of
that many men prefer to be
called plain John Smith, Til
Ford, 10 Simon.
But titles are sometimes con-
ferred by accident, and become
really good handle to catch
hold of. In that case the peo-
pie catch on and use the handle
right freely aid properly.
A CURIOUS CASE.
A stack of letters is received
at this office in every mail and
while many of them are printed
in large letters "The One Cent

great variety Of ways Of writ

"THE GREAT ONE CENT

Atlanta's Great Day.

ATLANTA, (Ga.l Oct. 3d. No balm
Ter sun ever shone over this particu-
lar portion of Southland than that
which dawned en- this morning, Pres
ident's Day at the Cotton States and
International Exposition. Thousands
of visitors landed in the city yester-
day, and swelled the throngs on the
streets to immense proportions.
In accordance with carefully laid
plans of the Exposition managers, the
exercises to day were all concentrated
within the Exposition grounds.
The Presidential party spent the
morning quietly at the Adagon. AT
II o'clock they were driven rapidly to
the Exposition grounds without any
parade whatever, but inside the gates
the military were already gathered.
Captain j. +. Burke of the Gate City
Guards acted as Marshal. He had in
line the Fifth Regiment Of U. S.
Regulars, commanded by Colonel w.
l.. Kellogg. the Fourth Virginia Regl-
ment, the Virginia Military Institute
Cadets First and Second Companies,
the Governors Foot Guards of Con
neticut, Grimes Battery OF Richmond
and the Asheville Light Infantry.
The troops were reviewed by the
President from Il stand III front Of the
Government Building. After the re-
view the President was introduced by
President Collier, of the Exposition
Company, vino referred to him as Il
mau entrusted with the duty of wip.
ing out the sectional issues and lines.
President Cleveland's appearance
at the front Of the stand was signal
for an outburst of applause from the
multitude.
Mr.. Cleveland said what he saw be.
fore him was the Outgrowth of an
other expression in this Inauguration
OF American soil over century ago
when new nation was exhibited to
the world. He dwelt upon the i'm
support ald protection Of our Govern.
ment In conclusion he suggested
"as the most important lesson taught
by the occasion, the absolute neces-
sity to our national health and well
fare, and consequently to our individ
ual happiness as citizens, OF Il careful
discrimination in orr support of pol
itics and i'll our advocacy of political
doctrines, between those which have
prominent the public welfare and
those which simply seem to serve the
selfish or sectional interests, if we are
to enjoy the blessings our Govern
ment was framed fairly and Justly to
bestow. We shall secure them in
due time, by cuItivating spirit
abroad of ambition and of honor and
insisting upon such conduct as will.
