THE PROHIBITION CAMPAIGN.

The indications are that the prohibit
tion campaign in this county is
going to be a very quiet affair
in comparison with the usual
contests of this sort. At pres
ent there is not much enthusiasm
manifested on either sic 9, though some
quiet work is being done.
From expressions heard on the
streets Saturday from prominent citi-
zens of all sections of the county
the antis will WIN by good majority
unless there is revolution of senti-
ment. Many of those heard to express
themselves are strong prOhlbitiOnlsts
and opponents of the saloon, but they
are satisfied with the operations of the
dispensary, which has vastly improved
morals aid decreased the con-
sumption of whiskey. They prefer the
sale of whIskey under the regulations
of the dispensary to blind tigers, the
jug trade and their attendant evils.
After trial of nearly a year the
people are convinced that the
dispensary is the best solution Of the
whiskey question, and will record
themselves accordingly on the day Of
the election,

EX-GOVERNOR ATKINSON takes turn

THE Macon News fears that the able
bodied financiers and statesm en- who
have gone off to themselves and evolv-
ed plan of retrenchment in the ad-
ministration of state affairs, and adopt
ed pass word aud trade mark, ETC.,
have overlooked few things in their
eagerness to get Whack at the
munifcent salaries of state house
porters and other public officials who
are managing to live within their
incomes. The News suggests shat a
few dollars could be turned into the
treasury by having Commissioner
Glenn to teach night school, Attor-
ney General Terrell to take in a few
law cases, Agricultural Commissioner
Stevens to run farm and other state
officials to devote their spare time to
business in the line of their profess
sions. This is a cue to reformers
Blalock and Swift that they should
appreciate.

Laarned Pig In 1915.

In 1915 the royal news at Charing Gross were standing and on the actual site now occupied by Nelson s column 6 long wooden shed was placed, and in 1t was the skeleton of a, whale of great dimensions. Through it the writer walked from end to end.
 Opposite stood, as now they stand, spring gardens, where in old times the beaus and bellies of the court of Charles II disported themselves. There in a house was located "the learned pig"
 Bystanders desirous of seeing it's per formance stood in a circle, and within @ smaller one playing cards were appar- ently indiscriminately thrown down. Onlookers, possibly confederates, named a particular card, and the pig trotted round and placed his snout on the nam- ed card without an error.
 From that exhibition, the writer, in the same house Che thinks), was taken and introduced to "the Hottentot. Ve- nus, an ebony damsel clad ill gauzy garments of the most f1imsy kind, who displayed her figure by proudly trav ersing and circling round the room in which she gave her receptions.
 Issuing thence, the WI ter was taken to the horse guards parade to see the cannon used by the French as a mortar during the siege of Cadiz, 1872. It was on 8 carriage ina horizontal position, and the writer, lifted by his father, was thrust inside the muzzle, and. strug- gling somewhat, was, with little diff ficulty, extracted from his confined po- sition.-London Sketch.

The Girls Flushed Too,

Visitors at the Worlds fair of 1898 will recall the Indian exhibit or en- campment on the shore of the south pond. One. of the tents or wigwams was occupied by an athletic and fine looking but somewhat taciturn specimen of young Indian manhood as his own particular home, and while 1t was open at all proper hours for the inspection of visitors he resented any approach to i'm pertinent curiosity.
 A bevy of young women dropped into his tent one day before his usual hour for opening it and found him sewing a rent in 6 blanket. : rSs Es
 "See how he blushes, exclaimed one of the visitors. We have caught him doing squaw's work. " =a#
 ,"Why, that's his natural color," gig gled another. t'He always blushes.''

 "I was with Commodore Dewey when he was the executive officer of the Colo rado, ," said financier, "and remem- Der one incident which shows the man. ner of man he is. We had a fine crew, some of them as powerful men as ever saw. Four or five of them went ashore one day and came back fighting drunk.
 "Three of them were men who would singly have been more than a match in strength for John L. Sullivan. The or der was given to put them in irons, and 1t was found impossible to carry out the order, for the men were dangerous Dewey was notified of the situation. He was writing letter in his room at the time.
 "He went to the place where these giants were and he told them to come out and submit to the irons They did not stir. Then Dewey said quietly to an orderly, Bring me my revolvers,' and when he had his pistols he again called upon the men to come out, but they did not move. Then he said, T am going to count three. If you are not out here with your hands held up on the third count, you won't come out of that place alive
 "He counted one, then he cooked the revolvers, and he counted two. We all expected to hear the report, for we knew that Dewey meant what he said. The men knew it too. They stepped out just in time to save their lives and held up their hands, and they had been partial ly sobered by their fright and the moral effect of Dewey's glance.
 "One of them said afterward that when he saw Dewey's eyes he knew that he would either be dead Jackie in moment or he would have to yield, and when the irons were put upon him he was as sober as he ever was in his life. Dewey went back to his room and finished the letter he was writing. '- Philadelphia Press.

The Queens Four Leaved Clover.

An amusing story of Queen Hortense, daughter of the Empress Josephine and wife of Louis Bonaparte, king of Hol- land, has lately been told After her ex- ile from Holland the ex-queen sojourn- ed for time in modest habitation near Constance in Switzerland.
 As her health was broken down by her troubles her physicians prescribed 8 visit to the mountains of Appenzell, and the ex-queen, accompanied only by reader or female companion and two or three servants, went to a rustic neighborhood in the hills. There she and her companion found nothing bet ter to do than hunt for four leaved clo- yer and became quite excited in the search.
 ''To lend the matter interest, " the queen wrote in a letter which has been brought to light, i've would assume that each discovery of @ four leaved clo- yer had some prophetic significance. The next one, if found so and so, meant that we should return to France; an other meant that I was to receive let ter the next day from my son Louis, and so on. In this innocent pastime we found positively the only excitement that was open to us in the place. "But soon it was noised abroad among the children of the neighborhood that we were continually hunting four leaved clover, and consequently, these children argued. we must want it very much. Then all the children and some of the grown people were out hunting four leaved clover, and soon great punches of it were brought to us, fol l which we had to show ourselves very grateful.
 "In another day our only resource fo, amusement was gone, for these kind but superserviceable people had strip. ped the neighborhood for mile around | of all its four leaved clover.
