How Puss Regards Man.

The cat was 8 solitary roamer, whose
companions were the trees of its native
forests. Tt found home in the hollow
trunks and safety among the branches.
How do we know that the cats ances-
tors were dweliers in the forest? Because
every kitten takes to a tree as readily as
duck to water. Also because nearly
all forest dwellers are mottled in color,
so that they may not be conspicuous
among the light and shadows beneath
the trees. While was considering v hat
was the probable view held By cats
about human beings, it wGs suggested
by one ingenious friend thGt probably
they regard man as kind of locomo-
tive tree, pleasant to rub against, the
lower limbs Of which afford comfort
able seat, and from whose upper branch
es occasionally drop It'd bits OF mutton
aud luscious fruits, We may laugh at
the theory, but it has quite resleeta-
BILE string of facts behind it to back it
up. If the Kanskas argued from the
pig to the horse, why should the cat not
pass from the familiar tree to tae un-
familiar organism called man?
The cat. in spite of the domestic char
scter it has acquired, is in reality the
least tame of our animal servants. AS
far as its duties are concerned man has
taught it practically nothing. Its meth
DDS OF pursuing rate, mice, and birds
are all entirely Its own. 1t is indeed
rather a wild animal which has taken
up its residence in our houses for it's
own purposes than a servant or a slave.

MANAGEMENT OF FULTOX's JAIL
1t May BE Put In the Hands of the
County Commissioners.

Atlanta, Ca. Oct. 2.-Attorney General
Terrell to-day rendered an opinion when
settles a question that has been causing
a good deal of trouble of local nature
in Fulton county.
At the last session of the legislature, a
bill was introduced by Representative
Brannan, and passed providing that the
management of the county Jail should,
after ratification of the act, be taken out
of the hands of the sheriff and placed in
the hands of the county commissioners.
The bin, however, did not provide who
should make the provision for submitting
the question to a vote of the people.
Ordinary Calhoun did not think it was
his duty. but consulted the secretary Of
state who submitted the question to the
attorney general to-day His opinion was
that the ordinary should attend to the
matter, and consequently the matter will
be passed upon at the election
next Wednesday. The advocates of a
change claim that the sheriff has made
great sums of money out of feeding the
prisoners. that this should not be allow
ed, but the Jail management be made
strictly an official matter

ATKINSON CAPTURES ATLANTA
TEN THOUSAND VOTERS OUT TO
HEAR HIM SPEAK.

The Meeting the Closing Rally of
the Democratic Campaign in Full
ton COunty-Many of the Most
Prominent Citizens of Atlanta on
the StaEe-The Governor Makes a
FOrcibIe Presentation of the Issues
of the state Campaign.
Atlanta, Ga, oct Gov. Atkinson
closed his campaign in Fulton county to-
night by addressing an audience Of near
ly 10000 people at the Moody tabernacle.
The speaking was under the auspices Of
the Young Mems Democratic League, and
was attended for the most part by active
and sympathetic parusans. Many of the
most prominent citizens occupied seats on
the platform around the governor, who
was given a great ovation.
Gov. Atkinson was preceded by Hon. n
j. Hammond, who. after making a telling
campaign speech himself, presented the
party candidate and champion.
The governor made a forcible speech, de-
voted largely to state issues and the re-
cord of his opponent, Seab Wright for po-
litlcal and business ineompetency and in
consistency. He handed the populist cam
dldate without gloves, bringing forth the
records of the grand jury of his own coun-
ty, which criticized him severely when
he was chairman of the board of county
commissioners. to prove his utter undtness
for the high office of governor, The gov
ernor also showed that Mr.. Wright had
espoused almost every political ''Wil o.
the Wisp" that was ever heard of in this
state.
Gov. Atkinson also took up the Duncan
circular, which, however, did not need any
defense or explanation here in Atlanta, be-
cause the public was already familiar with
the case and unqualifedly endorsed the
governors action. He showed that he had
nothing to do with the manner in which
the circular was worded, which was new
er intended to be construed in an objec-
tionable sense.
He also demonstrated that he had done
everything in his power as governor to
have a law passed that would amelorate
the condition of miSdemeanor conVicts, and
Is on record as having taken up this mat
ter among the first things he did after
going into office. The populists in the
We're opposed, however, to the

possible to better the condition of the
Gov. Atkinson declared that the demo-
Gratis were in favor of fair and honest
elections, and the election next week
would be fair and honest at every pre-
cinct where the democratic managers
could make ii so. He referred to the pas
sage of the general registration law as a
proof of this desire to purify the ballot.
The demonstration tonight puts Fulton
safely in the Atkinson column by
q greater majority than two years ago.

Waycross, Ca, Oct. 2.-Echoes from the

timber is greater than was at first stated.
Pine forests within five miles of Way
cross, in the direction of Brunswick, were
partially wrecked. The lumber and tur-

considerably. Their timber was almost
totally ruined. D. c. Layton, who lives
near Folkston, says that the damage to

mated, but when all the facts shall have
been learned, it will be seen that the DUN

are told by persons who had narrow
