POLITICAL SAWS.
A PrOverb Singer Makes Few Interest
ing and Truthful Remarks.

ing and Truthful Remarks.
While men are talking politics through
out the country the following collection
of wise political saws from the pen of
the proverb singer of the Boston Trans
cript will BE- found useful as help to
conversation. 1t doubtless took con-
siderable amount of careful research to
make the collection, and as they are
concise and to the point the gentlemen
who are passing wise will no doubt be
delighted to have them at hand. The
Transcript man begins by saying that
there are mad bulls in all political fields
and the sagacious statesman knows that
the safest place is on the fence, though
while there he knows that he can never
get anywhere. Continuing, the writer
says the race is not always to the swift,
nor the battle to the strong. Let not
your heart exult because you have Sc
cured the nomination, for, verify, he who
is first at the caucus may be last at the
polls. The wise political speaker deals
in empty words rather than argument,
for argument may be met by argument,
but language without sense no sensible
man attempts to answer. Betting is a
FOOLS argument; therefore, never bet on
an election, unless You would prove the
truth Of the old adage, ga fool for luck. p"
Do not think that because candi-
didate is forever reaching for your hand
to shake it that he will not shake you
altogether after election. wOrmy and
decaying apple is oftentimes und on
healthy tree. 1t does not follow be-
cause platform is sound that the
man who stands upon it is not rotten
to the core. A stitch in time saves nine.
A vote at the primary is oftentimes
worth dozen votes a. the polls. The
man who always votes with his party be-
longs to party above reproach, or its
party has at least one fool in its mem
bership. When a candidate PIRATES un-
duly of the wrongs of the laborer it indi.
Gates that the laborer is worthy of his
', (the cand;date's) hire. When a candi-
date boastfdlly avows that he never sells
his principles it may be that he has nc
principles to put upon the market. 1t is
wise candidate who has no knowledge
as to how the money disbursed in his fa-
vor is expended. Never vote for a mar
you do not know. This is easily avoid
ed by taking care to know the man 1ol
whom you vote. Growing is pleasan
pastime, and it is judioious to indulge
in it before election; after election you
may have no desire to crow.

SOUTH GEORGIA SENSATION.
A Young Man Arrives at Home Gagged and
With His Hands Bound.

Lake Park has been excited over the
sudden disappearance of the depot agent
and express agent, Lucien Mlley. Miley
left there Tuesday night and, in compa-
ny with parties from Valdosta, went up
on the train to that city, he intending to
visit his parents at Hahira. Nothing was
seen of him after the train arrived at
ValdOsta. The conductor looked for
him at Hahira and, though the young
man had transportation to that station,
he was not on the train when it stopped
there. The matter created good deal
of comment at Lake Park and the inter-
est deepened when the railroad and ex-
press officials began investigating the af-
fairs of the Office. They were found to
be in good shape, and no reason could be
assigned for the action of the young
mans disappearance.
However, it is learned that he arrived
at his fathers home, six miles above
Hahira, two days later. His hands were
said 20 be tied behind him and a stick
i'll his mouth, tied around his head with
strings, made complete gag. He stat
ed that be remembered nothing that has
happened since Tuesday night, and he
can give no explanation of the predica-
ment in which he appeared. Parties
from the neighborhood say that his face
and mouth are badly swollen, showing
that the gag had been on him for some
time and that he suffered much there
from.

A special from Nashville tells as f l.

At noon Joint political discussion be-
tween Judge James Griggs and Mr.. John
Sibley was the attraction. The speakers
both had many hackers in the audience,
and the discussion was full of interest.
Judge Griggs was the fir t speaker and
went into an exhaustive discussion of
the money question, and made an able
and effective plea for the democratic
party. Judge Griggs was followed by
his populist opponent, who riddled t
democratic party for stealing the popu-
list platform, as he charged. He sal q
that Grover Cleveland had been con-
sistent democrat during all of his term
in office, and stated that Hon. H. G.
Turner all the other big men Of the par
ty had been pushed aside by the small
politicians who were trying to ride into
Office on a wave of enthusiasm which the
populists started in their fight for the
party.
Both speakers were in good humor,
and both were applauded for good
points made by each. A cloud Of dust

in the evening, and behind that team
