OUR HOLIDAY CARNIVAL

In this day of fairs and carnivals, the
city that fails to invite the people Of its
surrounding country TO some entertain
ment of the kind, shows lack of pub
lie spirit and good fellowship, and de-
prives itself of the Incalculable benefit
to be derived from such an occasion.
The Times-Recorder thinks the associ-
alton has been particularly fortunate in
their selection Of dates-Dec. oath to
Goth, inst.--for the business of the year
will be practically disposed of, and
there will be nothing to prevent the
people from coming, or our people
from giving them proper entertain
ment. Christmas week is the usual
wishing season IN Georgia, and we ex-
pect the largest crowd that has ever
been within our borders.
The merchants and the people gen.
orally have begun to decorate, and al
ready the city presents a holiday APP
pearance with its futtering flags and
folds of waving bunting. In few
days the streets will present a gorgeous
spectacle the great Ferris wheel, mer-
ry-go-' rounds, the miniature railway,
tents shows and every attraction that
can add to the gaiety of the week will
be IN place, the magnificent bands OF
music will be in their respective Ioca-
ton, aud everything Will be ready to
open m a blaze of glory on the follow
ing Monday morning.
The contest for queen has fairly
opened, but it is impossible at this
early day to pick the winner. The
young ladies who have been nominated
are running close together, and each
one has her friends who will work for
her success until the polls are closed.
Any one of the young ladies would
make a lovely queen, and the carnival
association, which has no favorite, car
only promise a cordial greeting and alb
solute loyalty to the bright eyes au6
rosy cheeks that win the golden crown
Tt is to hoped that the merchants viii
join IN the queens parade, for it is de
sired to make this feature as attractive
and elaborate as possible. 1t can be
done with little expense, with materia
and talent right here at home, anG
there is no reason why every enterprise
in our city should not be represented
by a float that will do honor to the
queen and her loyal subjects.
The Governor, state house officers
and other public men will be with ut
on Friday, which is Military Day, t.
review the Fourth Georgia Regiment
one of the best in the state service.
Everything points to happy weeI
with our people, and we trust that ev
eryone will be able to lay aside care ant
wind up the old year and the old cen
fury with peace in their breasts and 10,
IN their hearts.

that it is not wise to despise the day of
small things. In 1910 JIG. Birney, the
first anti-slavery candidate for Presi-
dent, had only-7, O59 votes IN the entire
Union, and it was more a matter of
reproach then to be called an abolition
ist than it is to-day to be called a So
cialist. For governor in Massachusetts,
the Socialist vote rose to %, GA, being
the largest vote cast in that State for
third party for many years, and the
strongest Socialist demonstration made
IN any State in the Union. That il
should be made under circumstances
the most favorable for industrial con-
tentment might seem to indicate that
this is a force to be reckoned with here
after in politics.

The exhibition of naturalness. with the
genulneneSs OF the people engaged in 1t,
appeal to all classes, conditions and ages
as no ordinary show has done or ever
can do.
After the season of Buffalo Bill ev-
eryone realizes that the end of the big
entertainments has come. The present
Wild West retains all the popular fea-
lures that make it an original and dis
unct1Ve exhibition, including the famous
charge up San Juan Hill, which viii be
produced on even more elaborate
scale than last year. This one great
dramatic battle scene could easily draw
crowded houses for six months in New
York, for nothing nearly so realistic has
ever been seen in any public exhibition,
and then. too, it has the added interest
OF employing in the representation hun
dreds OF the actual participants in the
lighting around ntiago-men who by
their couragS, dash, fearlessness and
skill in craftsmanship and manoeuvers
brought so much glory to the American
nag and compelled the world at large to

The Irish Piper and Fiddler.

Century.1
The Irish peasant is passionately fond of
music Even the untutored playing of the
town fife and drum band will send him
into ecstacies. But, unhappily there is
little, or no developed musical capacity,
The harper was extinct as far back as the
DAYS of our grandfathers. But before the
famine of 1s47-that awful calamity which
completely revolutionized the social life of
lreland-eyery. countryside had its Con

cracked instrument, and plays badly. The

members of a family, and in these cases

Is an unr1valed wealth of glorious music

airs which have come down through the

You VIII hear them when the old grand

she is dancing the child upon her knee;

dance where, no instrumental music be-
ing available, the. jigs and reels are

cherished national possessions our
ancient music been mainly preserved;
rural Ireland-as this shows-we may per-
haps look to the Feis Ceoil, or yearly mu-
Irish equivalent of the Mod of the Scot

homely strains of the bagpipes and fiddle

HAS A SIXTY DOLLAR NOTE

[FrOm the Spokane Chroniclel
Spokane has the only $50 paper bill in
United States currency known to be in
existence.
1t was issued at the first session of the
Continental congress in 1878. and carries
with IL all the crudity of that age 1t
IS peculiar document, being a piece of
greenish paper of much the same mater
ial as the present paper money except
that it is heavier. In shape it is almost
square, with dimensions of about four
by three and half inches.
On one side of the bill is written the
receipt, which is as follows:
This bill entities the bearer to receive
so Spanish milled dollars for value re-
ceived in gold or silver, according to q
resolution passed by congress at Phila-
delphia, September 26, ITS
On the back of the bill is drawn bow
with a set arrow Along the margin the
value or the bill is again printed, and at
one side the words Printed, Hall & Sell
ers, 177S.' At the bottom of the face is
the signature of some one in authority
The letters have so faded out that it is
almost impossible to follow the charac
ters. Some have imagined they could
trace the signature of George Washing
ton upon those lines, but others could
not imagine what authority he had to
distribute money at that date
This rare bill is the property of Otto
Fiechti of the Fiechti Quartet of the
Occur d'Alene. 1t was presented to him
at the Charleston earthquake in 1886 for
the saving OF an IrlShmanS life. The
open hearted act of the big German
toward his hereditary enemy so over
came the man from Erin's Isle that he
gave him the only article of value he
possessed.
Mr.. Fieehtf was desirous of ascertain
Ing the true value of the bill, and in 1898
sent it to Washington, where it was
kept for six months while the treasury
department investigated the issuance of
the bill. 1t was adjudged legal, as the
issue of $50 bills at that time was known
to have been made, though this is the
only one which has not been returned to
the treasury department. The piece of
money has considerable value outside
of the amount upon its face. The Spo-
kane man now in possession of the relic
has refused an offer of 81, 900 for it, and
says no price could induce him to part
with 1t.

ATTACK JURORS.
Afidavits Filed in the Jim Howard
Case.

Frankfort, KY. Sept, es.-Adidtional
affidavits were fled by the defense and
counter affiidavits by the prosecution in
the motion for a new trial of James
Howard who was found guilty Wednes-
day of the murder of William Goebel.
All of the affidavits filed by the defense
except one, attack jurors, who sat in the
case. One is signed by the defendant
and alleges that the jury was not kept
together on one occasion as the law re-
quires.
John w. Roy. law clerk to Appellate
Judge White, made an affidavit which
was filed by the prosecution, in which
he says on the morning of the assassi-
nation he met B. L. Guffey, son of
Judge Guffey, and a prominent young
Republican; that the latter said to him:
"Goebel will not be governor. He will be
killed before the joint assembly meets"
The affidavit says he responded that
this would create riot and that Taylor
would certainly be killed if that should
happen, to which Guffey responded:
mo, they will not kill Taylor. That has
been provided against"
Judge Cantrill will pass on the mo-
ton for a new trial at 1870.
