(MOrgantOn Herald.)

Col. Tate took suddenly i'll at the Al
pine Cotton Mills Monday evening from
acute indigestion. He was taken to his
home and has since been confined to his
bed. although his condition was improved
yesterday evening. He was exceedingly
sick Monday night and his condition caus-
ed great anxiety on the part of his fam
lily and friends. His physician was with
him almost the entire night. He is now
thought to be out of danger and we
hope to see him out again soon.

A Triunlyirate.

A preacher came at newspaper man in this way: You editors dare not tell the truth. If you did, you could not live; your newspaper would be failure" The editor re- piled: You are right: and the minister who will at all times and under all circumstance tell the whole truth about his members, alive or dead, will not occupy his pulpit more than one Sunday, and then he will find it necessary to leave town in @ hurry. The press and the pulpit go hand in hand with whitewash brushes and pleasant words, magnifying little virtues into big ones. The pulpit, the pen and the gravestone are the great saint-making triumyirate. /" And the great minister went away look ing very thoughtful, while the editor turned to his work and told about the surpassing beauty of the bride, while, ID fact, she was homely as q hedge fence.

ELSEWHERE in thIs issue we pub fish a letter from Mayer-elect Bell to the GRAPHIC. in which he outlines the policy of his administration, which will be inaugurated tomorrow night. His letter has the right ring about it and indicates an energetic. progressive and business-like admin istration of city affairs. It will be observed that Mr. Bell declares un- qualifiedly for a new City Hall and city jail, two public improvements of which the city stands in sore need. The present City Hall Qf it can be so called) is very unsightly and is entirely out of harmony and keeping with our majestic court house, magnificent Merrill Institute and other public buildings. It will, therefore, be a source of gratitica- tion to all our citizens to know that g new City Hall, of credit to the city and in keeping with its sur roundings, is an early possibility. It will furnish work for our mechan- ics and artisans, adorn the city and serve a great public need. In all his efforts at public improvements, Mayor Bell will have the hearty CO operation and support of the GRAPHIC.
