VIA NICARAGUA CANAL.
Facts Wherein May BE Found the
Basis Of Democratic Opposition
to the Proposed Great Water Way. ;.

In spite of the impetus recently given to
geographical study, 1t ls probable that ten
out Of twelve well-read persons will estimate
the distance between Liverpool and San
Francisco and. via Cape Horn, to be at least
one thousand miles longer than from New
YORK to the same port OF the Golden Gate |;
but IL is actually $50 miles shorter 1.-The two
routes being respectively 1880 and 1880
miles long. The greatest surprise, however
is to find that New Orleans Is further away
than either Of the two cities, being l5,O52
miles from San Francisco. When the
Nicaragua canal is opened this Southern city
will be only 4.047 miles from her Western
slater; New York will be q distance of 4,946
miles and Liverpool 1854 miles. The econo.
my to the shipping in terests OF England and
America alone would pay for the canal twice
over in q short time, to say nothing OF the
advantage to commerce OF reaching mark cts
hitherto inaccessible.-Frank Leslie's Popu.

KING SOLOMON.
The Father of All the Masons.

Mount Carmel little girl caught the fever
from attending high school com mencement
and wrote the following essay:
King Solomon was man who lived ever so
many years ago. and In the country that he
governed he was the whole push. He was an
awful nice man and one day two women came
TO him, each holding onto the leg OF baby,
and nearly pulling 1t In two, and both claim
ing 1t. King Solomon wasn't feeling right
good and he said: "Why couldn't the brat
have been twins and stopped this bother?"
And he called for his sword, and was going to
chop the kid In two, and give each OF them a
piece OF II, when the one who was the real
mother. said: "Stop, Solomon; stay thy
hand. Let the old hag have u. If cant have
whole baby don't want any" Then Sol,
omon told her TO take the baby and go home
and wash Its face, for he knew 1t was hers
and he told the other woman to 20 chase her
self. King solomon built Solomon's Temple,
and was the father of all the Masons. He had
700 wives and 300 lady friends. and that Is
why there are 30 many Masons In the world.
My papa says that King Solomon was warm
mem Der, and l think he was hot stuff. That's
all l know about King Solomon.

tiOn.
Deputy Sheriff Nance went to Atlanta
Monday night with a requisition from the
Governor of South Carolina upon the Gov.
ernor OF Georgia, for the surrender Of r: A.
Williams, the gentleman who Is wanted In
this county because of his recent connection
with some emigration business at Calhoun
Falls.
Deputy Sheriff Nance returned from At
lanta yesterday evening over the Seaboard.
About fifty boys OF all sorts and conditions
were at the station, quietly awaiting the ar.
rival of the train. When the cars stopped
every door was watched. Soon somebody
seeing the Deputy Sheriff come out on the
platform of q coach, cried out: Here he is.''
There was q sudden and rapid movement in
the direction Of the voice, but there was
much disappointmenta at not seeing Mr.. VIII.
liams.
The Governor OF Georgia thought Deputy
Sheriff Napce's papers were defective, and
the prisoner was not surrendered.
Mr.. Nance will make another effort to per-
feet his papers,
The public may be prepared for dsap.
pointment, II 1t la expected that Williams
will be punished. He is reported to be rich
and 1t Is said that the law Is unconstitutional al
We are not able TO speak advisedly as to the
law, but we believe that the temperance o!
Williams at Calhoun Falls would be "uncon.
| stitutional" as far as that particular individ
ual Is concerned.

LIGHT DRAUGHT SHIPS

New York, March GA special from Wash
The necessity OF suppressing flibustering
expeditions is the cause Of Admiral Dewey
asking that the department send him more
vessels of light drought.
On account OF the number Of Philippine e
islands, the natives are unable TO transport
from the Asiatic coast large quantity OF
munitions OF war in small schooners. Ad-

The authorities were glad TO hear that
General Lawton would arrive at Manila
about March 10 as he will then be put IN
control of the military operations thus giving
General Otis an opportunity to aid in the
Philippine commission as we'll as take care
Of the many questions constantly arising.
