WHY NOT TO SOUTH AFRICA?
BeIIicOse BritOn of Omaha May Find
Excitement There.

A Morning News editorial of yesterday
contained a passing reference to the chal-
lenge issued to Congressman Lester by a
funny gentleman OUT in Omaha. The
challenge was based upon some animal
versions upon British conduct in South
Africa, from the pen of Mr. T. B. Hodges,
in letter addressed to Col. Lester.
In speaking of the matter yesterday,
Maj G. NJ. Ryals suggested that it might
be wise for this bellicose inhabitant of
the Western city, who is overcome by an
insensate craving for the blood of Mr.
Hodges. or Of some substitute who SYM
pathizes with him, to so to South Africa
and enlist in the British army. While
he might not have an opportunity TO get
at the Identical man for whom he would
be looking and longing, he could easily
find some thousand Beers, who would be
pleased and glad to crafty his propensity
to fight.
Mr.. Ryals thinks it pity that so much
fighting spirit should be wasted in a chal-
lenge sent to Col. Lester. who will GER
tainly have the good sense 10 refuse it,
when it could be put TO good purpose by
Gen, Roberts, Gen. Butler or any other
of the British commanders in the Trans
vaal.

WARNING REPUBLICAN FACTIONS.
Rev. II. j. Butler Denies the State
ments of Rev. styles.

=
Rev. p. j. Butler of Walthourville, LIB
erty county, sends the Morning News a
card, In which he denies the statements
attributed to him by Rev. w. II. Styles,
in a recent communicated 10 the Morning
News. He denies that he told Rev. Styles
that he was not against him, and that if
there was no fight there would be no
money.
Buffers card, in effect. declares that he
is not personally opposed to Col Deveaux,
but that he is with the Doyle and Deegal
faction, and will do all he can 20 help 1t
TO win. He also wishes il understood
that his support comes from his pulpit and
not from politics.
The rival Republican District Conven-
tons viii be held next week. That of the
Deiegal faction Is 10 be held at Morse S
Hal, on Gwinnett street a o'clock Tues
day night. and that of the Deveaux fac
ton Tuesday afternoon al the Harris
Street Hall.
Delegal, who brought in Buffers card,
said that each convention win go ahead
and elect delegates TO the State and Ma
lonal Convention, ignoring the existence
of the other convention. The delegates
elected by his faction were recognized by
the National Convention four years ago,
he said, and he expects the same luck this

the Gate City.


The account received by Vice President
John NJ. Egan of the Ocean Steamship
Company by wire yesterday morning of
the running aground of the Gate City, near
Moriches. Long Island, the night before
Corresponded with that sent out by the
Associated Press. The story as Mr. Egan
got it was as he read it in the Morning
News.
Mr.. Egsn was wired that Superintend-
ent p. D. LeFevre of the steamship com
pany was on his way to the scene OF the
accident from New York, seventy mile >
distant. Superintendent LeF'evre, he said
would take any action the interests Of the
company might warrant on his arrival. 1t
is possible, Mr.. Egan explained, that it
may. be deemed necessary by the SUPER
intendent 40 tighten the vessel, in which
event it will be done.
The ship was reported as resting lightly
in the sand. and Mr.. Egan hoped it might
be possible TO draw her off withoul I'M
loading. She received her annual over
hauling not long since, and il is believed
she win be stanch and whole after she is

No cause other than fog occurred to Mr.

the fogs are in that section.

THE FACTIONS CAN'T AGREE.
NO SOLUTION OF PRIMARY QUEST
ION YET IN SIGHT.

/ Messrs. Osborne, Cam and Dixon,
Representins the Citizens Club,
Addressed a Communication TO MIR.
Hartridge, to which He Responded
in kind-Citizens Club Leaders
Suggested a COnfere1ce of the Fac
lions, Mr.. HartridGe RejOined That
Arrangements of That Character
Might Well BE Left to the Discre-
tion of the Executive Committee of
the Party.
The difference between the two wings
of the Democratic party in this city and
county seem to be no nearer adjustment,
| even in matters apparently immaterial,
than they have been in the past. Both
factions say they want primary, but
how, when or where they have not been
able to agree.
Some time ago, at caucus of the Citi-
zens Club resolutions were adopted in ref
erence 90 the acoming primary election.
Since that time some correspondence has
passed between representatives. of the
rival factions, which is of public inter
est. The correspondence was given to a
Morning News reporter last night by
member of the Liberal Club, in the alb
sence in Atlanta of Mr.. Walter C. Hart
ridge, to whom the first letter had been
addressed. So far as he knew the senti-
ments expressed in the letter of Mr., Hart
ridge to the representatives of the Cit-
zens Club expressed the views of his po-
Htical associates. The correspondence,
though, speaks for itself The first letter
was from Messrs Osborne, Cam and
Dixon to Mr. Hartridge. 1t reads;
Savannah, Ga, Feb. 5, 19OO.-Hon. Wal
ter C. Hartridge, Chairman City: Dear
sir-At a representative caucus held on
the 3Oth inst (sic), the following resolu-
tons were unanimously passed:
Resolved, That we favor the PROPOSE
ton advocated by the newspapers of the
city proposing fair primary elections for
i the election of all Democratic candidates
/ for office.
Resolved further, That a committee of
| three be adopted to confer with the chair
man of the opposing caucus with a view
| to agree on the terms of fair primary
election and recommending the same to
| the County Executive Committee for
adoption.
In pursuance thereof the undersigned
were appointed to confer with you. We
will be pleased to meet you at any time.
I'VE suggest that this communication be
referred 10 the next caucus of your party
| leaders, and that a similar committee from
your side be appointed for conference upon
the question of the coming primary cleo
ton. Respectfully,

preceded by Mrs. J. w. Roberts, a
friend of the bride, and George Now

mony was performed by the BRIDES
pastor, DR.. A. r. Cooke. Immediately
after the ceremony the bridal party
drove to the home of the groom, where

the beautiful presents which were
showered upon her. May their life be
cloudless and happy.

Nature makes all things beautiful
in their time.' Every one of life's sea-
sons, when life moves on Natures g
lines, has its own charm and beauty.
Many women dread that period when
they must experience change of life.
They fear that face and form may
suffer by the change, and that they
may fail to please those whom they
love. The value Of DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription in this crisis of
woman's life lies in the fact that it as
sists Nature. Its use preserves the
balance and buoyancy of the mind and
sustains the physical powers. Many
women have expressed their gratitude
for the help and comfort given by Fa-
vorite Prescription in this trying Pc
riod. Its benefits are not passing but
permanent and conduce to metal hap
piness as well as physical strength.
