Hencoon win Historx.

There isn't a more faithful being on
earth,'' said a Georgia business man to
a Washington Star Reporter, than one
of our Georgia darlxeys; neither is there
one more superstitiouss nor yet again is
there one who loves better the products
of the hencoop. And Gainesville isn't any
different from any one of hundred
Southern towns. When I was down there
two weeks ago a customer of mine, who
had a fancy for chickens and who had
always had more or less trouble in mann
tanning ownership of them, told me he
had remedy, and asked me to go around
with him and see it. I wanted him to tell
me what it was, but he insisted on my see
ing it first, so l went along with him, and
in few minutes was standing in his back
yard before what was the oldest chicken
coop I ever saw. 1t was constructed of
large timbers and there were a dozen
places in les walls where a hand could
be run in and everything cleaned out
within reach. Then there was no fasten-
ing TO the door, nor was there any kind
of protection to the fowls. / couldn't I'M
derstand how such an inviting snap could
be of any use to the owner, and said as
much.
THE charm is in the timber said he.
ono said I.
"'Fact. lust the same said he. You
don't see it on the outside, and you don't
know it, but the darkies around here do,
and they won't come within a hundred
yards of that coop if they can help it,
don't care how full of chickens it is.
Cause why? 1t is built of the timbers
of a gallows on which a man was hung
about three months ago in another coun-
ty. 1t cost me something extra to get 1t,
but it has more than paid for itself since
| have had it, and l am in the market now
TO buv all the secondhand scaffolds in
Georgia If you run across a sheriff any
place with one for sale let me know by
next mail won't you, please?'
TT was true BILL concluded the trav-
cling man, for 1 saw darkey tried on
1t, and he refused a big silver dollar to go
down TO the coop to get chicken for
breakfast"

The convict approached the Zebra, says
the Criterion.
''NTy friend" said he, as we are fellows
of the same stripe, think we might form
some sort of a coalition"
How do your stripes rum" asked the
Zebra, suspiciously.
"Alas! They dontr' answered the con-
Wet. 'GThey are fast colors-the result
of fast life-but what has that to do with
it?"
Let me tell you little story" said
the Zebra, softly.

on the same grounds-pardon, 1 mean
lines-as you suggested to me, with the I'll
ger.
lone day, shortly after, the tiger broke
out into wild praise of my uncle's coat.
"Ah!' he exclaimed what grace of
curve! What a be.wildering beauty of de-
sign! It is just the kind of an interior
decoration that have wanted for some
time
"WenY said the convict after long
pause
That's ALL" replied the Zebra, both of
my story, and my uncle-Good-day! and
away he skipped.

EngIand,s I,riendIy words.

The strained relations between our coun-
try and Spain afford the English news
papers an opportunity to show that the
sympathies of the English people are with
us. Their columns are full of expressions
of good viii and friendship. There is no
good ground for doubling the genuineness
OF these expressions, except that England
sees troublous times ahead, and would
like strong friend and ally. 1t would be
unkind however, 10 say that England S
professions of friendship are moi disinter-
ested-that she Is supremacy selfish, and
would much rather strike us a blow than
extend us an assisting hand if We should
need assistance-because there Is no doubt
that she feels much more kindly towards
the United States than towards any Latin
country When Mr.. Cleveland suggested
a treaty between the two countries, pro-
vlding for the settlement of all the differ
ences they might have by arbitration, the
British government promptly assented.
Such a treaty would now be in existence
if the Senate had not rejected it.
While, however, the knowledge that
England would be our friend if we should
have war with Spain is very gratifying,
1t is hardly probable that our government
would enter into any engagements with
that of Great Britain which would make
us a party 10 complications which might
arise in Europe. The United States have
nothing 10 gain by becoming mixed up in
European politics or wars.
The opinion Is quite firmly held by some
of the shrewdest observers that Great
Britain is much nearer war with the three
great continental powers than the United
States are with Spain. Their differences
in respect to China are gradually ap-
preaching a critical stage. The whole
world hopes, of course that war between
them will be averted, but if it should
come, it would be a gigantic struggle. The
United States would have nothing to gain
by being mixed up in it, and there isn't
a reason why we should become mixed up
in it, We do not need Englands help in
dealing with Spain, nor the help of any
other nation. Therefore, while we appre-
ciate England's good will at this time it
won't be sufficient to drag us into Euro
pean complications.

A Canary story.

The rapid increase in the number of
"columbarians'' in this country and a gen
eral interest in birds of all kinds are re-
sponsible for the fad started 10y young
swell whose bachelor quarters overlook
Central Park on the east, says the New
York Press. A semi-oetagonal oriel, sup
ported on corbels, was fitted up for an
aviary and stocked with fifty birds which
he purchased of a Greenwich street deal
er. There were the plain yellow cana
ries the brown, the striped, the mottled
those crossed with the thrush and those
that We're half linnet. All were turned
loose in the oriel, but they did nothing hut
fight all day long and squeak at night
The bachelor appealed to the dealer
Look here, my friend" he said, ~
bought those birds expecting to have sing
ing world without end, and not one of
them has warbled a note What are you
going to do about it?'' The dealer was
not phazed. Pair EN- off and put 'em
in cages" he said, seeing a chance to
sell twenty-five brass wire coops. THAT
sounds like common sense" assented our
friend, "but the trouble is in mating them.
How do you tell a male canary from a
female?" "Oh, that's easy. Get a lot of
fishin worms and throw EN- in the room.
and the females the female worms
The innocent Went back to his oriel with
a smile Of serene confidence and sent has
valet for the worms. Suddenly 1t occur
red to him that he might haYe trouble in
determining the sex of the worms, an
without awaiting his mans return he drove
down to the dealers for information on the
subject. Drawing this high authority
away from an old maid who wanted to
buy a monkey, he whispered: Say, cid
man, that mating proposition is all right,
and l believe you know Your business, but
there is one thing more that 1 want TO
know; how am I to distinguish the male
from the female worms?"
The dealer looked at him In amazement,
and elevating his chin, remarked, with a
supercilious air: my dear sir, you must
excuse me; this is not worm store The
bachelor still has his canaries and his Ca
cary aviary in the oriel, and he also still
has his doubts.

'Convicts at work on Buckhalter canal.
IS; convicts at work on the county farm,
II; convicts at work on Dale avenue, 60;
convicts at work on Savannah drainage
o." This is the very pungent reply receiv-
ed by Health Officer LeHardy from the
County Commissioners when he made in
quiry with regard to how many convicts
We're at work on the drainage around the
city, in the interest Of the public health.
one-third of the convict force is at work
in PARKWAY BuckhaIter swamp, while 'O''
is at work to prevent sickness in the city
during the approaching summer and fall.
The people of Savannah pay nearly all of
the taxes Of the county. How much Is this
Buckhalter business costing the taxpayers
of Savannah? The annual statement of
the Board of County Commissioners sub
mitted at the recent annual meeting, show
ed thatthe convict establishment cost dur
ing the previous twelve months 81, SIS. 80.
1t is not costing less now, One-third of
the total cost is going into Buckhalter
swamp at the rate of $1O526.46 a year. This
is the cash. cost, and does not include the
worth of the labor of the convicts, which,
at so cents day, would amount TO $3.50
per diem Thus it appears that the policy
Of the County Commissioners may be sum-
med up, Thousands of dollars for Buck
halter, but not cent for the protection of
Savannah.

A school Census Suggestion.

1t has been suggested, and the sugges-
ton is good one, that when the school
census is taken in this city an effort be
made to find out whether the homes of
many of the children are not in other
counties than this. There is an impress
sion that children are sent to this city for
the purpose of enjoying the benefits of our
public schools-some coming from nearby
counties and others from South Carolina
They reside while here with friends of
their respective families and secure en-
trance into the schools on the credit of
these friends.
This impression may be a wholly erro.
neous one. If il is, it ought to be correct
ed. If it isn't, steps should be taken at
once to keep out of the schools all chill
dren who have no right to be there The
school Accommodations are not now as am.
pie as they ought to be In fact, some of
the schools are quite crowded. There is
no more room in the schools than is need
ed for the children of people who are
bona fde residents here.
1t is also said that there are families in
the city who live here for nine months
of the year for The purpose of having their
children attend the public schools. They
do not claim this city as their residence
and do not intend TO make it their perma-
nent home. 1t is a question whether their
children should have the privilege of at
tending the public schools, especially if
they do not pay taxes in this county
There are counties in this state which
do not levy a school tax. They depend
wholly upon the state for the schools
they have, which are rather poor affairs.
Il is from such counties as these that chill
dren are sent to the towns and cities
where there are good public schools If
these children were denied the privilege of
the city schools the chances are that there
would be much better schools in their
! home counties. Anyway, there is no good
reason why the progressive counties
should bear the burden of educating chill
! dren from non-progressive ones. Let the
school census show if children whose
homes are in other counties or other
states are pupils in our schools.

From the Philadelphia Times Dem).

If the United States should be com
PEELED TO undertake a war for the deliv-
GRANGE of Cuba it would doubtless be
necessary TO employ volunteers, but the
regulars would form at least the nucleus
of an army of occupation and il would
make great deal of difference whether
the regular army had 5000 or only $1,000
fighting men. From the latter number
scattered all over the continent on the
coast on the Northern and Southern from
tiers and in the Indian country, not many
could be spared. If the ranks were filed
to the maximum, a very respectable force
would be available in case of war.

Politicians Against the People.

The Louisiana constitutional convention
is having a great deal of trouble in its
efforts to agree upon suffrage qualifca-
tons. White supremacy is aimed at. but
it is not so easy TO secure it, and, at the
same time, satisfy the politicians. Soon
after the convention met it was prac-
tically agreed that the Mississippi and
the South Carolina plan for keeping negro
votes out of the ballot box was not hon
est-that 1t permitted of wholesale fraud
because of the provision which permits
the registrars to register, as voters, per-
sons not having the qualifications required
by their respective constitutions. That
provision is that persons who cannot read
shall be registered if they understand any
section of the state constitution which the
registrars may read to them. 1t can he
readily seen that under that provision the
registrars have the power to say who
among those who canot read shall have the
privilege of voting. They can shut out the
nliterate from registration or admit them,
just as they please. They can admins
ter the suffrage law fairly or they C;n
practice fraud to such an extent as to
control an election in the interest of the
party or faction to which they owe their
appointments.
1t is said that thus far in Mississippi and
South Carolina the plan has not been pro-
ductive of much complaint, but it doesn't
follow that it will not be the source of
trouble and very great trouble. The
time is pretty certain to come when the
whites will divide, and trouble will arise
when one faction of the whites undertakes
to use the plan against the other. 1t can
not be said that the plan is a success UNI
til it has been tried under such circum-
stances,
The press and the people In Louisiana
are greatly opposed to the plan. They
don't want any chance for fraud. They are
calling for fair and square educational
and property qualifications. They say
that a man who can read and has a GER
tain amount of property, should be permit
ted to vote, and not otherwise. They are
against granting to registrars authority to
say who of the illiterates shall or shall
not be registered.
But here Is where the politicians oppose
the press and the people. There are thou
sands of illiterate foreigners in Louisiana
who are ready to vote as the politicians
dictate, and the politicians want them reg
istered. They could not be registered if
the educational and property qualiica-
tons should be strictly adhered to- Hence
the politicians are demanding that either
the understanding plan of Mississippi
and South Carolina shall be adopted, or
else some other plan shall be provided
whereby the illiterate whites, particularly
the llhterate foreigners, shall have the
privilege of voting.
The constitutional convention has been
trying for month TO find some such
plan. The only one they have hit upon
has been pronounced unconstitutional, ard
hence it looks as if the politicians would
finally force the convention to adopt the
understanding" plan of Mississippi aid
South Carolina.

The administration agents abroad are
said to be looking out sharply for an oppor-
tunity to purchase torpedo boat destroyers.
The United states have no vessels of that
class The craft are larger than torpedo
boats. but smaller than cruisers. They are
heavily protected, and have very high
speed As their name indicates, their bust
ness Is to send the pesuferous nttle torpedo
boat to the bottom before it has an oppor-
tun!ty to get in its work upon the large
ships. The destroyers. from their strength
and speed, and the further fact that they
carry torpedoes themselves, are regarded
by naval people as more dangerous than
the torpedo boats, and hardly less to be
feared than battleships.

hundreds of women. men and children so

spectacle of natures awakening from the
