Horace Greedy as an orator.
From Harper's magazine.


Mr.. Greeley was not an orator In any
scholastic sense. lie had poor and some-
what squeaky voice; he knew nothing Of
gestures, and he could not take an ora
tors pose, which adds such emphasis some
times TO the matter and argument to be set
forth. Not all his years Of practice on the
platform and on public occasions ever
changed his habits and methods as a
speaker, and he ended as poorly equipped
In the respects named for the vocation as
when he began. But he had one prime
quality, without which all the others are
exploited in vain. He invariably had some
thing TO say, and he said Il In such clear
and wholesome English, with such SINGER
ity, that he was an orator In spite of all
the rules.
To state il briefly, of all the eminent
speakers / have introduced and more than
once-there was not one who gave better
satisfaction, different and notable as they
were, than Horace Greeley. As a conse-
quence, he came to me oftenest, and wore
The best. We might or might not agree
with some of his peculiar premises, as
when he says, THE moment a drop of al
cohol Is received into the human stomach,
that moment the stomach recognizes a
deadly enemy" but he set his audience
thinking. and illuminated his theme.

Congressman Jim GrIggs Pays a Tri-
butte to Georgia EdiBIes.
From The Athens Banner

From the Athens Banner.
In the course of his remarks on the cot
ton mill situation, Congressman Jim
Griggs, of Georgia, after making power
full argument in favor of the South as a
manufacturing center had the following
to say;
'Why. Mr.. Speaker, the average SOUTH
erner would not feed his worst enemy on
the cold bread and beans which are the
staple food of the New England working
man.
"A distinguished southerner has said
that Mason's and Dixons line Is a line OF
honor, dividing the land Of cold bread from
that of hot biscuit He is right, and both
sides of the line may say the same thing
with equal force and sincerity. In many
of the factory towns of the South an fact
in ell outsides the larger cities, choice beef,
mutton and pork can be bought the year
round at from to 10 cents pound, chick
ems at from 10 to 20 cents o piece and eggs
at from Sb TO Is cents a dozen. Contrast
these prices with your beef and mutton at
from y to rs cents a pound, chickens at
from 30 to 40 cents piece and eggs at
from 80 to 40 cents a dozen. why, except
for q few months in the year vegetab les
are unknown in New Finland, and they
are luXures at oil times. In the south
vegetables are necessities and the gardens

high or low. In them grows everything
that can appease hunger or crafty the
palate. Lower standard OF living In the
south, Mr.. Speaker! / would not exchange
the dinner to which many factory folks
in Georgia are sitting today, while adj
dress this house. for any dinner that the
skill and ingenuity of the chief Of Wash
ington chefs could devise. A dinner of
hog jowl and sweet Georgia collards, or
bacon and tender spring turnip greens,
fried chicken and brown gravy, with the
inseparable accompaniment of sugar
yams, smoking corn pones and cold but
termilk Is better than all the baked beans
and corned beef and cider that can be
spread on every table in New England
All Mr.. Speaker. gentlemen from New
England should extend their acquaintance
among southern people and southern
gardens"
The speech made fine impression and
Mr.. Griggs was warmly congra tulated
upon its conclusion.
