A dim sunlight strikes us in the
balloon. Suddenly we realize we are
in bright sunshine again, with feecy
white clouds below us and q deep
blue sky above. Look at the shadow
OF the balloon on the clouds! See the
light prismatic colors like a halo
around the shadow OF the car. Here
we are all alone, in perfect silence, in
the depths OF great aby yss-massive
clouds towering up on all sides, a
snowy white mass below. But no
sign of esrth-no sign of anything
human. Not q sound, not sign of
life! What peace! What bliss Hor-

Well, we are falling, for see the bits
OF paper apparently ascending. And
We must take care, for the coldness
and dampness of this cloud will cause
the gas to contract, and we shall fall
rapidly. So get bag OF ballast ready,
for we are already in the darkness Of
the cloud. Now the gas bag shrinks
and writhes, and the loose folds rustic
together, and it gets darker. You
can feel the breeze blowing upward
against your face or hand held over
the edge of the car. Well, that's not
to be wondered at, for remember we
are falling. say 1000 feet minute,
which is the same thing as if we were
going along ten miles an hour sitting
in q dogcart. Not quite the same,
you say-you'd sooner be in the cart?
Well, perhaps if the horse were going
straight at wall, without the possi-
bility OF being able to stop him. you
would think otherwise. But look

Atlanta Constitution.
II never shall forget an incident
which occurred at the first fair ever
attended in Georgia" said a retired
Cincinnati meat dealer. at was at
Macon, and 1 think they called it a
State fair. At any rate it was big
thing for the town in those days. They
had some fine stock on exhibition, and
Pennsylvania had sent down about
20 OF the finest looking hogs you ever
saw. They were mostly Chester Whites,
and if 1 recollect right they were ex-
hibited by Thomas Wood, a great hog
and cattle fancier, of 20 or 30 years
ago. He it was who introduced that
famous breed of hogs, the Chester
White, and he made great deal OF
money out OF his fancy stock. He
was Friend-a Quaker, you know
who used the plain language and wore
a broad brimmed hat. He was a
smart old gentleman, honest and
prosperous. He cent his hogs from
State fair to State fair, and they took
so many prizes and blue ribbons that
each hog looked like boy who spent
all his money making a collection OF
badges.
"When the Macon judges made
their awards, they gave blue ribbons
very literally to the razor backs, but
not one OF the fat, sleek Pennsylvania
hogs got prize. The owner OF the
exhibit did not understand it, so he
hunted up one of the judges and said
in the language OF the Friends:
"'I know thee to be an honest man,
and l do not question thy fairness in
the award, and but to crafty my own
curiosity 1 would be glad to have
thee to tell me why thee gave all the
prizes to the native stock and what
fault thee found in miner
"My friend, the committee admired
your hogs greatly the judge replied.
They are certainly handsome, and
have no doubt that in our section they
are the best breed to raise, but they
are suited for this country. They are
SO short-legged and fat that niger
could catch them in two minutes.
What we require in hog in the south
is legs and wind. We give our prizes
for speed"

the mint on this point are worthless,
because it appears for his report for
1892 that he assumes that every dollar
put in circulation except where a
record was made of its expectation,
and that he has made no allowances
Tor the money that was carried over
the northern boundary and over the
southern boundary for "a years, nor
Tor the money carried back by Chinese
during that time, nor for gold coin
used in the arts and not reported dur
ing that time, nor for all that was lost,
nor for all that was carried across the
ocean in the pockets of our people
during all those years. Yet the di-
rector says in his report of 1891 that
during the Paris exposition the total
sum spent by our people abroad in one
year was over $9O0OO,OOO. Why does
Mr.. Carlisle use figures that he knows
are incorrect and are manifestly given
out only for the purpose of misleading
the American people on the question
as to the amount of money they have
in circulation?
Eleventh-A year ago Mr.. Cleve-
land sent for his former law partner
and close friend, and through him Mr..
Cleveland and Mr.. Carlisle together
made secret contract with another
friend, who was q former client of
Cleveland, by which that friend and
his associate spectators were unabled
to make nine or ten millions out of
the government in a few weeks on a
small bond transaction. And the
reason given for this extraordinary
and even criminal procedure was that
the spectators and sharks of Wall
street had agreed to protest the gov
ernment against the gold raids until
the following November.
That is, the weslthiest, the most
enterprising, most powerful. most in
dustrious and thrifty nation on the
globe paid tribute to q small band OF
spectators for protection. And when
the month of November arrived the
speculators withdrew their protection,
and then the government proceeded
to issue another hundred millions of
bonds. thus increasing the burdens of
our people. Now, Mr.. Carlisle might
have expatiated on this and pointed
out to the American people the lofty
character OF the statesmen involved
in these transactions; for, strange to
say, many of our intelligent people
are utterly unable to comprehend it.
While Mr.. Carlisle does not seem
to have been success in the capacity
OF bunco s.eerer among the laboring
men OF Chicago, there are many
points upon which he could be very
interesting, and I would suggest that
they bring him back and let him talk
about matters in which he is at home.

A fabric that changes color under
various conditions of the weather has
just been produced.
No practical use of the new inven.
ton has yet been made, except a few
sample neckties which the inventor
has distributed among his friends
The fabric OF which these neckties are
made, resembles q coarse linen. When
the weather is warm and fair the
color is dark blue. In cold weather it
changes to purple. The approach Of
rain is heralded by pink, and snow
causes the necktie to become start
ling green.
The invention marks a new era in
fashions. Shirts, trousers, gowns and
other articles OF dress can be made of
the material. The invention is vet in
its infancy. When it has been devel-
oped to greater extent the woman of
fashion can array herself in a blue
gown in the morning; by noon it will
turn to mauve; the afternoon will
find it pink, and the evening some
other color.

FALSE REPORTS.
Pump Factory and Cotton Factory Are
Not COercIng Their Employees.

Pump Factory and Cotton Factory Are
Not Coercing Their Employees.
The report was in circulation this
week that the workmen at the Pump
Factory and the Cotton Factory,
had been given to understand that
they must join the Mckinley Club,
or sign their names to some such
or otherwise pledge
to vote against Bryan
and free silver, or else prepare to
make room for men who would.
The HERALD, through ready to
denounce such wanton interference
with the political rights of others;
though more than willing to defend
labor against any such tyranical
abuse of the power Of capital, was
slow to believe that any such effort
had been or would be made by either
of these corporations.
Not wishing to do any one an in
Justice, therefore, we proceeded to
Investigate. We called upon an en-
ploye of the Pump Factory and one
in a position to know, and quiet,
though determined Bryan man, by
the-way, and asked him concern
ing the report. He assured us there
was no truth in it. The hands, some
of them at least, if not all of them,
have been sent some sound money"
literature, and have, to some extent,
been talked to-" but no threats or
intimation of loss of work or other
trouble has been suggested directly
or indirectly. On account of hard
times, dull markets, etc, this facto-
ry is not running to hardly third
of its capacity, and in consequence
is working only few men.
We also interviewed Mr.. j. P.
Street, President of the Cotton Fac
tory. He said there was no truth or
foundation for the report; that they
never mixed politics and business
that the hands would of course vote
as they pleased, without interior
ence or fear of molestation.
The HERALD does not believe in
campaigns of abuse or misrepresen-
tation. We think it nothing but fail
to say in behalf of these corporations,
that in our opinion, they are not
using any undue influence to vote
their hands. We think it also fair
to say, in behalf of the employees
that their bosses could not vote
them if they tried. Labor in the
South has some manhood left yet
The grinding process of the golc
standard has not gone far enough
quite, for white men in the South tC
cover before a plutocratic tyrant ant
vote as they are told. The Soutt
don't raise that sort of men. They
might be starved into submission
they might sell their birthright fol
food for their families; what NIGH
be in the future if the gold-bugs
were allowed to continue their grind
ing and starving process we know
not; but at present the labor of tn
South works for its wages and vote
as it pleases.

Tho People win Rightly Judge,

The State Executive Committee have
relegated to the people the Whitthorne
Cox matter, appointing October 10th as
the day for holding direct primary
election, that gentleman receiving the
largest vote at said primary TO be de-
clared the nominee of the Democratic
party. 1t behooves Democrats to turn
out in force on that day and register
their votes for the man of their choice.
The Press, as in the August primary,
will be found advocating the cause OF
the peoples candidate, Hon. VIM. j.
Whitthorne We believe Whitthorne to
be the best man of the two, and that his
selection would be of greater advantage
to the interests of Democracy than
would be that OF his opponent. Mr..
Whitthorne has proven himself eff
cient and honest in every public station
he has been called upon to fill. His
home county of Maury is enthusiast
cally for him, for they know him and
delight to do him honor.
Though but scarcely known in Dick.
son county until his telling speech at
Charlotte at the July term of court
from that day on his followers were le'
gion, and to-day, we believe, he Is en-
phatically the choice of the Democracy
of this county. Mr.. Whitthorne is a
man of very limited means, and in SUB
hitting his side of the controversy tC
the State Executive Committee, he was
impressed with the hope that that trib
unal would declare either himself OF
Mr.. Cox the nominee and end the strug
gle, thus saving both parties the neces
sary and legitimate expenses of another
canvass. The committee in their wis
dom failed to give realization to tina
hope, and the matter is now pending be
fore the people.
The Press believes the people will
rightly Judge between the two aspi
rants on the 18th of October, and we eX
