1T REPENTS.

The Charlotte IN. C.)'Observer, one
of the few southern papers which sup
ported Mr.. Mckinley in 1896, an
nounces that it will not do SO this year
Its reason is given as follows:
1.-THE president and his party are
against us and our people. We can
have no part nor lot with party
which denounces our people as rebels;
which chooses negroes and scuryy
white men as officers over us; which
conducts the government for the bene-
fit of its favorites; which has the long
rec ord that the republican party has
OF unrepented-of extravagances. crimes
and scandals-scandais involving the
expenditure of public money: crimes
against popular liberty"
These remarks of the Observer are
commended to the careful attention OF
those southern white men who, having
always heretofore voted the democrat
ic ticket, now think it the thing to say,
eve are going to vote for Mckinley"

GEORGIA GLEANINGS.

-The,gloomiest conditions are said
to exist in Coffee county. The crops
are totally ruined. In the winter and
spring mules, guano, and farm sup
plies were readily bought by the far

to the crops that not one-third Of the

have practically abandoned their

THE TROUBLE IN CHINA.

The reports from China are eXtreme=
ly confusing. The last dispatch
throws doubt upon all the alleged news
that came before it. We do not know
to what extent the missionaries have
suffered. nor the conditions of the le-
cations IN Pekin. We do know that
there have been battles and destruc-
tion of property, and the armies of the
allied forces are concentrating for d
march on the Chinese capital: but
there are so many false stories in cir
culation, so much misinformation. so
many contradictory letters and tele-
grams, tina: there is no such thing as
forming an accurate judgment at this
distance. The situation at present is
pretty we'll described in a dispatch
sent out from Washington by the AS
ISOLATED Press, which is as follows:
THE Pekin mystery has not yet
been cleared up. No word of an au-
thentie character has come from tle
Chinese capital in weeks. The fate OF
the Americans there is unknown.
The reports and rumOrs from China
are Enthusiastically and conflicting, and
it is idle 20 speculate on the course of
events until something definite is
heard from the foreigners direct. OBJ
servatiOn has shown that Chinese
news is wholly unreliable and exagger-
ated. Nothing from the great empire
is certain except the uncertainty of
news.
SHANGHAI is the breeding spot of
the countless rumors regarding the
massacre of foreigners in Pekin, and
of the Boxer outrages. The reports
are conflicting 10 the point OF absurd
ity. The alleged massacre is said TO
have occurred on June Both. Then
came reports that the legations We're
safe as late as July 4th. All foreign
ers have been reported dead, and then
afterwards came the report that the
German minister was the only victim.
The Chinese government has permit
ted no news of the ministers to escape
the censor. In view of this state of
affairs it is we'll for the public to wait
for more definite advices from Pekin
before allowing themselves to be
alarmed All may be true, but the
chances are that they are not. The
average Chinese story is made up OF
unthruths, and the true conditions in
PekiH may not be known until foreign
troops take the city and open up com
munication with the outside world"

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.

From the Albany Herald
Some of the members of the GeOr-
gia delegation to the national demo
cratic convention who failed to stand
up to the rack when the final test
came on the silver question may have
cause to regret it. 1t was species of
political trimming. a yielding of prin-
ciple to expediency, which the people
of Georgia may not approve, or even
condone; for the people of this state
have never occupied a doubtful posi-
ton on the silver question. They have
stood for the free and unlimited coin
age of silver at the ratio Of l6 to l with
gold every time the issue has been
made. They have turned down some
mighty good men for their failure to
measure up to the full standard of Or
thodoxy on this question, and may do
it again"

An Incident or Two.

The fellow "who had forgotten all
about it" walked up to the group OF
five, each of whom putfed Havana,
and made known his wants-not d.
rectly of course, but so plainly that he
could not be misunderstood.
"Just slipped my mind-this Sunday
closing and prohibitory ordinance bus
ines" he said. "Clear forgot to sup
ply myself last night-won't do it
again"
The smokers seemed to take pity,
for each produced cigar from his
inner pocket. But the poor fellow
didn't take one. Strange, you say.
Not at all. Each of those who offered
him smoke said:
"The last have, but you are well
come to it,"
''The men 'who hadn't forgotten"
were all very very polite, but then
you see, 1.-THE fellow who wanted a
smoke" was the fifteenth who had a2-
preached them in the last half hour.
Jones is liberal fellow. He is also
thoughtful one. Saturday night saw
him supplied with cigars for himself
and his friends-yes, his friends; for
he is very considerate of them, or at
| least he was. This. however, is the
way in which Jones made the prepare
tion for the Sabbath. He bought nine
| straight ive-centers and the same
number of three-fers-the former for
| himself and the latter for his friends,
who were sure to remember his liher-
atty on the morrow.
Sunday morning he transferred the
''three-fers" to his left inner coat pock-
ct and the better ones to his right,
left the coat on his chair and went out
on the veranda to read his paper.
Now, Mrs. Jones is as thoughtful a
woman as her husband is man. So
when she discovered the rip in Jones'
coat, although her conscience hurt her
for doing the work on the Sabbath,
| she nevertheless sought to mend it. In
doing this the contents of the inner
| pockets were spilled, but they were
picked up by Mrs. Jones and put where,
she thought, they belonged-two' five
centers'' and seven "three-fers' in the
right pocket and the remainder in the
| left.
One of Jones friends joined him on
| the way up town, and naturally that
friend had forgotten all about it,"
And Jones reached into his left pocket
and gave his friend a smoke. He, too
took one, but from his right pocket.
Jones is little near-sighted.
"a pretty 5ile smoke, he thought
but he pulled on.
When he went home to dinner he
had given away the nine cigars in his
left pocket, and had smoked several
from the supply in the other, each of
which he had pronounced vile.
! Now if Mrs. Jones is thoughtful she
also likes for others to be thoughtful.
SO when her husband failed to men
ton the mended rip in his coat she
took occasion to do so. 81 noticed it
looks better" he said. why did you
have so many cigars in your pockets,
John, dear?" she asked him. "Why, |
counted eighteen when | picked them
up from off the floor this morning when
[ dropped them from your coat"
"You dropped them." Jones didn't
notice how harshly he spoke.
"That accounts for it," he muttered
under his breath.
Jones has decided that if his friends
want cigars on the Sabbath they will
i have to depend on themselves as far
as he is concerned.

THE ridiculous yarn that plot TO
assassinate President McKialey had
heen discovered and thwarted by the
republican managers was for campaign
purposes only. Its rather remarka-
bic that such a plot should have been
1hwarted and the only parties inform
ed Of it were the campaign managers.
1t would seem that if Mr.. Mckinley
life were threatened the police, and
above all the secret service, would be
informed of the plot and steps taken to
avert the danger. The fact that Chief
Wilkie of the secret service knew
nothing Of the alleged plot until he
read it in the papers is taken as sui
fcient evidence that none existed.
