Football In Afrh a.

Englishmen are proverbial for taking
their games with them into whatever
part Of the world they go. Golf, as we
know, is played in the shadow of the
pyramids and in the very heart Of the
Himalayas. but football in the middle
of darkest Africa is something of an in
novation. Yet football is rapidly be-
coming popular on the shores of Lake
Nyassa, and at Kotakota, which few
years ago was notorious as the greatest
depot for slaves on the western shore G.
the lake, mixed teams of black and
white meet every Saturday with as
much regularity as do our home tearns,
though the local cbronicler omits to say
whether Rugby or Association has won
the suffrage3 of the Nyassa teams. One
startling feature of the game is that the
black players decline to hamper them,
selves with boots and find apparently
no Inconvenience in playing with bare
feet.-London Cor. Manchester Guard

A CODE OF SIGNALS.
Complete System Has Been Adopted by
French WheeImen.

French WheeImen.
Bicyclists who indulge in club runs
or who travel in small parties along
country roads may profit from an idea
which has been introduced i'll the bicy-
Gle clubs of France. In that country the.
whistle is much preferred to the bell as
a means of alarm and for club runs
or use when more than two cyclists go
touring The wheelman has established
a perfect code of signals, in which he
uses short and long sounds on his whis-
tie. Some of these signals are:
Ordinary alarm, three short notes
Halt, one long drawn note.
Come ahead, " Or Follow me-" two
long notes.
Where are your" or 1--WE are here, :"
three half long notes.
Turn to the right. . one long drawn
note, one short.
Turn to the left, one long drawn
note, two short.
Look outl There's danger ahead, ;"
ten sharp notes in quick succession.
Call for help, three short and one
long note several times in succession.
The signals are now pretty we'll un-
derstood among the clubs. 1t might
benefit American cyclists to take the
matter up and introduce a similar code
of signals in this country. Washington

Colonel Buck Is Undecided as to a State

An Atlanta special says Col. A. f.

executive committee, has pot yet deter
mined to call astate convention of his
parry. The authority to do so was vest
ed in him by the committee at its recent
meeting in Macon and he has had the
matter under advertisement since that
time.
The trouble about putting oat state
ticket in Colonel Bucks mind appe ars
to be to get the right kind of men to go
upon it.
"Whst's the use,' he said today, ''of
putting out a ticket unless we can have
men upon it who will impress the people
with the fact that they are competent to
fill the offices if they are elected"

A mn QUE SUGGESTION.

The Philadelphia Inquirer suggests
that ex-President Harrison be made
senator at large with the privilege of
occupying that Office for life.
Ex-President Harrison, however, is
not to be the only recipient of this
marked honor, should the suggestion
of the Inquirer meet with legislative
adoption.
Every chief executive who has pre-
sided over the destinies of the nation
is likewise to be treated in this pater-
nal manner, and as soon as he retires
from the chair of state he will find
snug seat awaiting him in the senate
rial chamber.
Without commenting at length on
this unique suggestion of the Inquirer,
it is sufficient to observe that such an
office al the one proposed is not in
keeping with the spirit of our institu-
lions, and furthermore that Mr.. Har-
rison is amply able to provide for the
wants of his family without legislative
assistance.
CAMILLA threw open her doors last
Wednesday and seemed to be glad to
see Jim Griggs and the rest Of the peo-
pie. 1t is a charming little town, and
we fell in love with it-Bill Spence and
all. Our only regret was in not clasping
the palm of Sam Fielder, he of
the Clarion and our boyhood friend.
The. young man must have taken to the
woods that day during the invasion of
we silver cranks, as a vigorous search
for him proved fruitless. A visit
to the dispensary even failed to reveal
the dear fellow.
CAPTAIN JOHNsToN's majority in
Alabama was $4,000, and once more
the stentorian voice of Captain
Rube Kolb is heard crying fraud.
Apparently Mr.. Kolb does not
think the people Of Alabama
could be induced to vote against the
populist-republican alliance except by
fraud. That view of it would show
that Mr.. Kolb is not at all trammeled
by modesty.
MUsTAPHA BEY, man with only two
or three thousand wives, will be the
representative of the Turkish govern
ment in this country after March 4th
next. 1t is not thought that he will
bring his whole family with him.
WHEN 1t comes to getting there this
fall don't leave the democrats of Ter
rell county out. They are made of the
get there variety, and get there every
time.
JUDGE jim Brown, of Canton, has
gone over to the republicans. Well,
they won't take any prizes with him at
beauty show.
The governor would strike popular
chord if he would couple good roads
with his demand for state control of
the convicts.
II is to be hoped that in Georgia
no statesman will be escorted out of
town this season in a shower of eggs.

IT looks like the light will go out on
Moses in the fourth district.

dermined by INDECENT ulcers and open
