He viii Not Run.

From the Cedartown Standard.
Hon. Fleming duignon of Savannah,
chairman of the State Democratic Com
mittee, has made the announcement that
he will not be a candidate for United
States senator against Senator Bacon
There have been many newspaper sug-
gestions and limitations about his prob
able candidacy, but his positive statement
sets at rest all doubt as to his attitude
in the senatorial contest.
This action of Col GuBignon in refus-
ing to enter the race is highly commend
able TO that gentleman. His entry into the
senatorial contest would have precipitat-
ed heated campaign in Georgia when
there should be the best of harmony
Il is known that strong pressure was
brought to bear on this distinguished
Democrat TO induce him to oppose Sena-
tor Bacon, and his fiattering assurances
of support would have turned the heads
of most men. While he would have been
a formidable opponent, this brilliant Geor-
gian preferred harmony iu|the Democrat
ic party to the possibility of senator
ship at the end of a state campaign tina
would have done the party no good.
Elem duBignon is all right. The state
IS not yet through with his able and val
liable services and the future holds out
to him just as tempting and important
political promotion as many of his zeal
Gus friends now see in the senatorial
plum.

Various Ways In Which Proposals
Were Made in 100 Love Stories.
Some one with a weakness for sta.
tistics has waded through 100 stand
ard love stories and tabulated the var
ious ways in which lovers behave
in popping the question. In 100 cases
where the proposal was accepted no
less than 67 gentlemen kissed the
lady and began "all of a sudden"
Eighty-one declared they could not
live without her, while seventy-two
held the girls hand and thirty-six
took her in their arms.
Twenty-six lovers sat down to put
the question, four fidgeted about with
their handkerchiefs-w three af-
terward required to wipe away the
tears of joy; three stood on one foot.
and the same number "reclined on
the grass" only four thought it ne
cessary to go down on both knees. but
twice as many knelt on one. In thir.
ty-two cases kissing took place. Only
four kissed the girl on the cheek, but
ten saluted the fair ones curls! Three
kissed her eyes, two her hands, one
the top of her head, one her nose
(by mistake), and one her shawl.

something was coming and sank into

and no less than eleven clasped their
arms around his neck. The eyes of
seventy-two were full of love. seven
had eyes moist and limpid. and the
optics of two were dry. Forty-eight
wept aloud and six shed silent tears
of joy.

One Of Them Tells Why His Vocs-
ton Is No Perennial Picnic.
A hundred members Of the Massa-
chusetts Ice Dealers Association met
and dined at the Hotel Bellevue the
other day, it being their second an
nual affair of this nature. The Presi-
dent Of the association, the Hon. will
lam M. Eaton of Quincy, presided.
Speaking Of the ice business, Elmer
H. Bright Of Boston. Secretary and
Treasurer of the association, said
The ice men differ in business
from almost any other line Their ac-
quaintance with one another has been
limited so last year we resolved that
II would be a benefit TO all to meet
once a year and discuss the ice situ-
alton. l do not believe there is any
business done where the amount of
money invested is so large and the
profit so comparatively small as it is
In ours. The prices Of iron. lumber,
horses, and all the material that goes
to make up an ice plant, have had
considerable advance. but the price
of ice has not advanced a cent. There
are a number of men in the business
who are in very good circumstances,
but you will find that they are all men
well along in years, who made their
money years ago, when profit was
greater Conditions since then have
changed materially. The large Gus
toners had their ice boxes on the
floors of their stores or places; now
they are so high up that where in
former years one man could do the
work 1t takes two now, and in a great
many cases more This, of course,
all means very considerable increase
in cost of putting out ice, and labor
in our business is one of the greatest
problems that we have to deal with.
THE public, as a class, is very in
considerate. I do not know that It
intends to be but suppose It is
through thoughtlessness. II the peo-
pie would stop and think that they,
like their neighbors, want a much
larger quantity of ice on hot mornings
in summer, particularly Saturday and
Monday, and that for this reason it
takes so much longer to deliver the
ice, | think they would be reasonable
and not feel abused at a little waiting.
we are able to load on wagons
only about one-half of the ice that the
icehouse holds; in some places not
over 40 per cent. Our teams, starting
out very early in the morning and not
getting in in hot weather until very
late at night, make 1t a hard business
to follow and handle. The ice man
has plenty to do in the very hottest
and the very coolest weather. On the
whole, it is not a business Offering
untold inducements to men to go into
it."-Boston Transcript.

choice and high-priced of our native

twenty-five years ago walnut was
extensively used in the manufacture
of fine furniture and finishings in this
country, but manufacturers adroitly
drew attention to the beauty of darkly
stained quartered oak, and the use of
the rarer wood has greatly declined.
But all this time the search for the
fine black walnut logs has gone on
systematically though quietly, the
trade attracting little attention.
though the volume of lumber handled
has been large.
The great source of supply has been
the central portions of the Mississippi
valley. The walnut is at home in the
