DELIGHTED THE eEoRGIANs.

The Columbus (Ga) Evening Ledger
has the following editorial notice of Gov
ernor-elect Joseph F. Johnston and the
speech delivered by him In that city some
days ago:
Governor Johnston's address was one
of the most powerful and convincing ar
guments for free coinage that was ever
heard in Columbus. His style of oratory
is peculiar to the man. 1t is intensely
earnest, but there are incessant flashes
of wit and humor that delight his au-
dience and win repeated and thunderous
applause. Captain Johnston in his BUSH
ness way, for he is a practical business
man, took up the coinage question. and
one by one answered the arguments of
the republicans and their assistants, the
Palmerites. He referred to Mr. Cleve-
land and was loudly cheered when he
said that If he had left the democratic
party, let him go. His speech was not
confined to the national campaign. He
paid tribute to Governor Atkinson as a
courageous, honorable painstaking off,
cial. who dared to do right. and who
scorned to do wrong. His administra-
ton had been a glorious one. and the
citizens of Georgia owed it to the state.

DO NOT GROW ovER-ooNF1DENT.


1t is important that the leaders and
workers in the democratic party in Ala
bama do not allow themselves to become
over confident. Lethargy should never
be permitted to seize upon those whose
duty it to keep the democratic camp fires
burning.
Alabama is going for Bryan and Sew
all but the time to cease work in cam
paign is when the polls close Besides it
would be possible for the state to SO for
Bryan and Sewall and at the same time
permit the enemy to capture two or three
congressional districts. That is just what
they are trying to do in Alabama. No
effort to carry the state for Palmer and
Buckner or for Mckinley and Hobart is
being made, but the enemy is trying to
capture several of the congressional dis
tricts. There is complete fusion between
the gold standard Palmer and Buctner
advocates and the republicans SO far as
the fight for congressman is concerned
The retirement of Wilson in the Fourth
district should be sufficient proof of this
to any who were still doubtful. They
are trusting that the democrats will be-
come over-confident because of the walk
over Bryan will have and while in that
condition two or three men will be slipped
into congress to aid in tying the hands
of the president after he is elected Our
people must keep up the fight in dead
earnest. We want to carry every con-
gressional district in the state and we
want also to roll up such a majority for
Bryan and Sewall that those now fight
ing the party can see the utter hopeless
ness OF their cause and subside.
Don't get over-confident.

epoch in the history of their city, and

celebration of the anniversary of the
great fire and the Mckinley demonstra-
ton were combined, while the Bryan
demonstration was show of its own
and came at night, too. II half as many
people took part in the Bryan demon
stration as took part in the celebration
Of the anniversary of the fire and the
Mckinley demonstration together the
former taking place at night too, we don't
see anything in 1t to comfort the Nc
Kinleyites, especially when they all have
to admit that the enthusiasm was with
the Bryan people.

IN A FOG
Southern Passenger Train and Freight Col
lide-Engineer and Fireman Injured.

Yesterday morning as eastbound pas
senger train No. SO of the Southern rail-
way attempted to pass the crossing near
Sloss furnace the engine collided with an
engine attached to westbound freight
train. There was a dense fog at the time,
and it seems that the engineers of the
two trains misjudged the distance, caus-
ing the two engines to come together.
Mr.. John Lambert was in charge of the
passenger engine and Mr.. w. T. Cottrell
of the freight. The freight engine was
backing at the time, and was not badly
damaged, but the passenger engine was
considerably broken up.
Mr.. Lambert was badly scalded about
the body and limbs, and his fireman, a
negro named Davis. was scalded about
the face, and 1t isthought will lose one
eye.
MIR. lambert was taken to his home on
the Southside, and the man Davis to Hill
man infrmary.
Neither of them is thought to be fatally
injured.
The passenger train was delayed about
one hour while the engine and one car,
which were damaged, were replaced.
The blame has not been located.

A SINGULAR PHENOMENON.

Queer Sounds Issuing from Underground
on the Shores of the Red Sea.
A singular phenomenon occurs on
the borders of the Red sea at place
called Nakous, where the intermittent
underground sounds have been heard
for an unknown number of centuries.
It is situated at about half miles dis
lance from the shore, whence q long
reach of sand ascends rapidly to a
height Of almost three hundred feet
This reach is eighty feet wide and re-
sembles an amphitheater, being rallied
in by low rocks The sounds coming
up from the ground at this place occur
at intervals of about an hour. They
at first resemble a low murmur, but
before long there is heard a loud
knocking, somewhat like the strokes
of bell, and which, at the end Of FIVE
minutes, become so strong as to agitate
the sand. The explanation of this
curious phenomenon given by the
Arabs is that there is convent under
the ground, and these are the sounds
Of the bell which the monks ring for
prayers. So they call it Nakous,
which means bell. The Arabs affirm
that the noise so frightens their camels
when they hear it as to render them
furious. Scientists attribute the sounds
to suppressed volcanic action-prob-
ably to the bubbling of gas or vapors

Narrow Escape.

MIR. Wilson had read 50 much abour
the danger of certain much-talked-
about disease that he had done his best
to make Mrst' Wilson and their little
daughter Maud chew their grapes and
eject the seeds, instead Of swallowing
them according to the usual custom.
Maud found the new method little to
her taste, and her father had frequent
occasion to reprove her for not mind
ing his instructions One day the little
girl was under the weather, and her
mother thought 1t necessary to admin
lister dose Of medicine, in the shape
Of two small pellets These, after the
manner of thoughtful parents, she con-
cealed in spoonful of marmalade.
which she then offered to the unsus.

was startled to hear Maud exclaim:
