JUDGE GRIGG's RESOLUTION.
From the Valdosta Times.

From the Valdosta Times.
The democratic position at this time
would have been strengthened if the
resolution of Congressman Griggs had
been adopted without the other. This
declaration of policy gives the demo
cratic POSITION as clearly and forcibly
as it need be put as long as Aguinado
and his followers are firing upon our
flag. The Griggs resolution has the
right ring to it, and it Is fortunate
tina it was offered and accepted in the
democratic caucus.
From the Macon Telegraph.
The Telegraph desires to Commend
Congressman Griggs' resolution adopt
ed by the democratic caucus. 1t was
timely and on the right line.

When the events OF the day were over and

Miss Wordsworth as Cousin Harriet's
guest.
Everything Is pleasant at Orchard Knob,

his own bravery 1t was story that thrilled
every one, and when he closed with a splen-
did peFolation which was, in face, an apos-
trophe to the American flag, the enthusiasm
Of the crowd was unbounded.
As lie settled back in The chair he heard
the master of ceremonies announce that
Miss Wordsw orth from the west would
sing the Star Spangled Banner"
Capt. Cnevers started at She name and
leaned forward as tall, regal-looking girl
advanced from one end OF the platform and
stood before the people. He could not see
her face, for it was sligatly turned away,
and then he settled back as her musical voice
began the national anthem.
The crowd seemed to Stand spellbound.
Such singing was q revelation &c every one
who listened; never before had the words of
Keys immortal anthem thrilled them as un-
der the spell Of that young girls voice. The
very binds which had been twittering in the
shade-trees paid tribute to her with silence,
and no one stirred until the last word had
died upon her lips.
Then a tumultuous cheer burst forth and
as she turned away, blushing beneath her
wonderful triumph, Capt. Chevers started
to his feet.
'Tracy-Miss Wordsworth" he ex-
claimed. "Whst a fool / am, anyhow" he
continued. soto voce. "'Tis another
Tracy"
But the tail girl had turned, and she and
the hero of Manila stood face to face.

The occupants Of the platform were now

Cousin Harriet. You won't be criticised
and. besides, they want to hear from one Of

"Heroes, hddlesticks! Is every man q

"And they've got an interesting pro-
gramme, captain" said Jackson at this juno
ture. Judge Somers is to do the spread

Capt. Chevers appealed to Harriet, but
that young lady, who had great deal of
confidence in her soldier cousin, urged him
to accept the invitation extended through
jackson, and at last in sheer desperation he
agreed to do so.
Presently the programme committee
waited on him officially, and he permitted
himself to be escorted to the speakers
stand. This was an elaborateiy decorated
affair and overlooked the pretty little pub
lie square for which Hampton wasfamous.
The young captain was given an ovation as
he walked to the seat assigned him. and be

ing the proceedings from the carriage.
There's no danger Of Harold's disgracing
the family name; that's something he never
did, and he used to be good at impromptu
speeches, too," she remarked to jackson,
who had taken his station alongside the car
riage for the purpose of conversing with her.
Judge Somers made rambling, but in
tensely patriotic, address to which the large
audience listened with manifest impatience,
for all knew that Capt. Chevers, just home
from Manila, would have something to say
and living hero is better than dead lion
at any time.
by and by the mayor of the village rose
and said, as he waved his hand toward the
captain:
Ladies and Gentlemen We have with
us to-day one Of the heroes of the late war
with Spain, a gallant citizen whom you all
know, a soldier who fought under the BAN
ners of Dewey and who was the first to plant
Old Glory upon the ramparts Of the enemy.
We love to honor our heroes and this one,
whom Hampton is proud to call her own
because his boyhood days were spent in
this vicinity, we greet with double well

and gentlemen; Capt. Harold Chevers, the
hero of Manilal"
The applause that scared skyward would
have called bushes to the cheek of an ad-
miral, and the captains face crimsoned as
he arose, which was a signal for more cheer
ing.

Have you heard Of the Sundown sea, love,
With its blue and golden skies,
Where the ripples play the livelong day
And the summer never dies?
There are wealth and health for you, love;
There are health and wealth for me;
There is all that's best in the golden west
On the shores Of the Shutdown sea-

For there like a river it flows
On the sunny breeze through the orange trees,
The breath Of the blood red rose.
Go get the old light in your eye, love.
Meath the shade Of the pepper tree
You know where; there's enough and to spare
On the shores of the Sundown sea-
There's q tear on every thorn. love.
OF the storm SCARED locust; there
Are dripping leaves and icy caves;
There's q wall on the weeping air.
There's song in the frozen rill, love,
But it's lost to You and me;
There's a smothered cry in the rain swept sky.
Then away to the Shutdown sea.
The luster is gone from your hair, love;
Your cheeks are thin and pale;
Your dark eye turns and your spirit yearns
For glimpse of the sunset trail.

And you II sing new song to me.
And we'l grow young as We journey along

let it lie where il had 6uttered. Presently
from the village just beyond the hills came
the echoes of a cannoD's boom and his face
for a moment lighted up as he remembered
that it was the nations holiday, and he
thought of the Fourths the years had carried
out TO sea.
The door behind him opened SO softly that
he did not hear it, nor the footsteps which
came, gaxelle-1ike, to bis chair. When he
looked mp it was to gaze into the face Of a
fair girl whose hand had fallen Eighty upon
his sleeve.
"You remember you asked about Tracy
yesterday" said the young maid.
"Ob, yes-Tracy Wordsworth" said the
captain. II had forgotten almost"
Did the young girl believe the captain?
She seemed to smile and for a moment her
gaze wandered frcm him.

"Ah%
"The last one l got from her, l believe.
She mentions you in it,"
The captain grew interested.
