The American Yacht. Columbia.

The American yacht, Columbia,
was the winner in its contest with the
British yacht, Shamrock, for the in
ternational cup, having been victo-
rious in the first three trials-in one
of them by the breaking of a mast on
the Shamrock. This is the eleventh
time English yachtsmen have tried
and failed to capture the cup. 1t is
an expensive business, too, if reports
be true, as it is said the contests cost
100000. Sir Thomas Upton, the
owner of the Shamrock. is out nearly
a million dollars, but he says he will
return in 1901 for another trial. He
made a host of friends about New
York by his gentlemanly bearing
during the season the contest was on.

Col. Bryan spent some days trying
TO bring democrats together in Ken
lucky on the Goebel ticket, and while
he doubtless accomplished much good
on that line, Kentucky is still doubt
full State because of the extent of the
revolt against the manner in which
Goebel secured his nomination. Mr..
Bryan is right in saying it is better
to elect Goebel than to permit the re-
publicans to carry the State. The
Southern States ought to be CONTROL
ed by her most intelligent classes, re-
CARELESS of their views on the fnan-
cial question, and this is the view
Col. Bryan should have presented TO
Kentuckians, instead of harplng on
his "16 to /" silver issue. After the
election in 1900 the South will awak
en- to the fact that it can do better by
leaving that issue severely alone, or
else take up the practical one of coin =
ing silver dollars at their commercial
value. If the silver mine owners
had pressed their interests on this
line, they would be much NEARER free
silver coinage than they are, and had
they had the faith they professed to
have in the value of the government
stamp they would have urged coin
age at the commercial ratio.

AMENITIES IN KENTUCKY.
Duel of Vituperation Between Promi~
nent Politicians.

A Duel of vituperation Between Promi-
nent Politicians.
Warm politics are not unusual in
Kentucky, but it appears that the po-
liIcal cauldron is now boiling and siZ-
zling with an almost unprecedented
fury.
Factions of the same party inyarla-
bly fight each other with a ferocity
which they do not display toward the
common enemy.
The regular and the boiling Ken
lucky democrats fire ten shots at each
other for every one that they send at
the enemy. AS the principles upon
who hthey claim to be divided are
largely personal, they are giving one
of the most glaring exhibitions of per-
sonal vltuperation that was ever wit
messed in American politics. All the
epithets of abuse, contempt and hatred
which are familiar to warning pOliti-
cIans are made to do full duty. and the
irate Kentuckians are trying their
tongues on invention in this line.
Up to date the deadliest duel of vitu
peration of the many that are in prog
ress in Kentucky is that between Gu
bernatorial Candidate GOebel and eX-
Congressman w. e. Owens.
After Owens announced with cOnsid-
cradle flourish that he would not sup
port G0ebel, the latter denounced Ow-
ems in very bitter speech. One of its
many personal illusions to Owens was
this:
"Whle at Frankfort | did what |
could to make it felony to run faro
bank or roulette table and other gam
bling devices, and thereby interfered
with Owens regular business"
In reply to this and references to
himself, which were even more cOmpli-
mentary, Owens devoted an hour be-
fore a large audience to an attempt to
show that Goebel was an exponent of
various species of corruption and VII
lainy. concluding with the triumphant
exclamation: 81 have convicted him
of lying, robbery and murder"
Abiding to the claim that Goebel is
a moral man because he has never
drunk whiskey, played cards or bet Oh
horse races, Owens said that for such a
moral leper as Goebel to do either Of
these things was to rise toward the
plane of decency and virtue.
Up to date Owens seems to nave the
better of this contest of villification
though GoebeIs admirers assert that
he has just begun on Owens.

JUDGE SEABROOK'S VIEWS.
why q Change of Venue Was Granted In
| the Cases:of thesDelegsls.

Judge Seabrook has granted change
of venue in the cases of the Delagals at
Darien. He has done so on the ground
that he is opposed to trying any issue
where human life is involved in court
house the shadow of which rests upon
the military.
This is the old>fashioned democratic
view. The original idea was that the
sheriff was the king of his county; that
the posse comtatus was his sufficient re-
source in case of local disorder; that his
command was to be obeyed,I under pen
alty. by every citizen; that he was some
thing more than mere server OF wrlts
that he was in his own person the repre-
sentative of the majesty of the law, and
the most important and Impressive ON
cial parsonage in the county. In these
modern days the sheriff is too lightly re-
garded. The people lack education as
to the relation of the shrievalty to the
county government. They forgot that
the state is made up of counties, the
county being a unit of our political or
ganization. To be the sheriff of the coun
ty in to be the official most directly
charged with the preservation of public
peace and order. He should be able, ex-
cept under the most exceptional circum-
stances, to control, through the agency
of the posse comitatus, the unruly ele-
ments of his bailiwick. Whenever he
finds that the people refuse to respond
to his call it is apparent that the people
themselves are not thoroughly appreci~
alive OF their own power or OF the males
ty of the sheriff himself, as the chief
agent of the law,
Judge Seabrook evidently wants to get
back to the old lines, and his granting of
the change Of venue for the reasons be
sets forth will start many persons to
thinking. News.

An EnOch Arden Story.

Millers Station, near Franklin, Pa. ,
has an Euoch Arden romance, In 1862
Flatt Hodges went west, and after an
absence of 81 years was not heard OF
until few days ago, when he appeared
at the Hodges home in Cambridge an
aged, decrepid and poor man.
When Hodges left home he had a
family, was in the prime of life and went
west TO seek fortune. For seven years
he wrote to his family occasionally, then
the correspondence ceased.
Mrs. Hodges secured divorce and
married man named Swift. Swift died
only recently.
A few months ago Hodges was Fseized
with desire to return to his family.
Fl was then in Mexico and worked his
passage to New Orleans. From that
point he walked home. The old home
stead was occupied by his sister, and he
ex perienced considerable trouble In es-
tablishing his identity. He finally did
so, however, and his wife was sent for.
She could scarcely wait until she COM
pleted her journey and fell into the
arms of her former husband.

DRINK.

The business world recognizes that no
man who drinks is as good as he would
be if he never drank Time was when
in certain lines Of business it was con-
sidered necessary to drink. Quite the
contrary is the case now. Even saloon
men prefer barkeepers who do not drink
the liquids they sell. All the fairy tales
about the great things people do when
under the influence Of liquor have been
exploded. The orator who must be in
toxicated in order to make a speech is no
longer here and he has never been here.
The lawyer who cannot plead case or
cite an authority without spending the
night before in barroom has gone to
visit the pale glimpses Of the moon, and
he has always been gone. The writer
who produces great poem or great es-
say while maudlin removed from this
planet before the command ''let there be
light" was given. The b0okkeeper,
clerk, mechanic, salesman, artisan, old
or young, is not at his best while he is
under the influence of liquor, and he is
not as valuable to himself, his employer
or society In the race of life the tenn
perate man has the best of it: the drink
ing man is handicapped. Great things
have been done while the brain was eX-
cited by stimulants, but greater things
would have been done had there been no
artificial stimulation. The sober man is
al ways an improvement on the drunken
man. Memphis Commercials

THE COTTON CROP.
The Prospects Are the GlOOmiest Ever
Known.

Known.
The New Orleans Times,Democrat
says:
sin this issue of the Times-Democrat
will be found our monthly report on
the condition of the cotton crop. With
one possible exception, the story IS the
gloomiest we have ever been called up
on to tell.
"Texas appears to have met with a
great disaster in the form of drouth
and heat that was fatal to sappy
plant The rains of the last forty
eight hours have not amounted to very
much, and their effect is very problems
atlcal.
Sin Arkansas the same conditions
have prevailed. This state has recent
ly had some good rains, but the effect
of the moisture remains to be seen.
"In Louisiana the condition is fair
but very spotted, and the same remark
applies to Mississippi.
"In Alabama the status seems to be
very favorable on the whole, and fairly
good results may be expected.
I'm Georgia and the CarOlinas the
outlook is gloomy enough, and very
moderate yield is indicated.
sit is hardly necessary to say that
the Times Democrat makes no estimate
of the cotton crop. We simply gather
the information at great expense for
the benefit of the trade. OF course we
guarantee the good faith of our cores
pondents as we'll as their intelligence
without reserve.
at is perfectly plain that somebody
is horribly wrong about this crop.

the error be discovered without de-

Mr.. John Drewry Of Cuthbert, who
runs model dairy farm, has jast made
fortunate business streak. He has
made a contract with the Ocean Steam
ship Co. of Savannah for $50 pounds of
his Jersey butter per week. At present
his dairy farm cannot produce that
much. He has, however, made ar
engagements to add more stock to the
farm and to secure a German family
to take charge of it's affairs. Before
this contract was made the dairy farm
brought in a good income, which
brings home the truth that there are
other things TO raise besides cotton
