PERSON AL.

Senator Cockrel of Missouri is known
to be man of democratic tastes. A
short while ago he surprised the employees
IN the Senate folding room by appearing
among them, taking off his coat and help
ing to get a quantity of documents ready
for the mail.
The Kaiser's literary abilities are
shown by the following written by him
in the autograph album of an English
woman during his recent visit to the
Queen
From far-off Germany I come,
Forsaking arms and roll of drum,
For faces fair as thine and these
And turn my mind to thoughts of peace"
The mantle of Sir Boyle Roche has de-
scended upon M. de Blowitz. In the Times
not long ago he achieved a bull which
rivals the famous Sir, I smell a rat;
see it in the air; but I will nip it in the
bud. A passage from the Liberte prompt
ed M. de Blowitz to this surprising piece
of natural history: Il quote this because
the Liberte Is one of those amphibious
journals that, waiting 10 see which way
the wind blows, sometimes unexpectedly
turn the scale" The whole performance
is so unexpected that it deserves the Sc
rious attention of science.
-Each OF me three swords presented by
the Kaiser to his three eldest sons in 1897
bore an inscription, such as Thy strength
belongs to the Fatherland. To my dear
son Wilhelm, Christmas, 1897 Wihel-
mus The other side bore the following
admonition: Trust in God and bear thy
self bravely, that thy fair name and honor
may be maintained; for he who trusts to
God from the bottom of his heart will
never be defeated on the field of battle"
Fearless and true was inscribed on
another weapon. and on a third Never
draw this sword without a reason, and
never return it into its sheath until honor
is satisfied which was the Kaiser's rem
dering of motto very popular once upon
a time on Toledo blades, which ran: do
not draw me without reason; do not
sheathe me without honor

stephens as an Orator.

Alexander H. Stephens was the great
est natural orator the world has ever pro-
duced, and his like will never appear
again." says Col. john II. Seals in the
January issue of the Sunny South His
power before a jury was so great that
long before his death he refused to take
cases on the prosecuting side" Col
Seals graphically tells of an instance at
Greensboro, Ga, when Stephens vouu-
teered to defend poor country girl
charged by her stepfather with having
broken the Seventh Commandment. In a
n-minutes' speech without having in
troduced any testimony. and in face of
the strongest proven case ever presented
to jury, he made speech which so over
came judge and jury and the immense au-
dence present, that not a dry eye was to
be found within reach of his voice The
Judge was so visiby overcome that for
some mements he could not charge the
jury, and the girl was acquitted without
the jury ever having left the box.

Harrison,s Most Famous Case.

ut is doubtful" said an Indianapolis
lawyer the other day. according to the
Philadelphia Post whether Gen. Harri-
son recalls a certain case which he tried
out in Indiana that was more remarka-
BILE in its way than the session of the
Venezuela arbitration, OF the four coun-
sci only one had ever been heard of out
side of his own state, and the Judge had
merely a local reputation. Yet within
twelve years one of the quartette had been
elected Vice President of the United
States, another one President, still an
other United States senator, and the Judge
had risen TO the circuit bench and had
filled two posts in President Cleveland s
cabinet
1T was "a political case and each party
chose its most famous representative to
represent it. Mr. Harrison aided the
United States district attorney, and Sena-
tor David Turpie and Vice President
Thomas A. Hendricks appeared for the
Democrats. The judge was Walter Q.
Gresham who had been appointed district
attorney for Indiana less than nine years
before"

Corder, according to the New York Tri-
bune, Jokes are, of course, being perpe-
trated. Thursday 1 was sitting with a
group of men, one of whom was known
10 be rampantly pro-Boer. Another of the
group turned to him with the remark: I
see the English are in Ladysmith.' Where
did you hear that? asked the Boer sympa-
thizer. 1 don't believe It,. 'Why?' was the
reply, ITS in all the afternoon papers and
in the morning papers as we'll That is
not true was the hot retort, for I read
them carefully and saw not a word of it. >
Well, it is So, returned the other. And
I'll bet you the drinks it is. The offer was
taken, whereupon the one who had pre-
cipitated the discussion drew a paper from
his pocket and pointing to a paragraph
therein calmly wanted to know If the other
denied that Gen. White and the English
garrison were in Ladysmith. The drinks
were ordered and paid for by the adherent
of the Beers, but not, it must be con-
fessed. with enthusiasm or without re-
marks about tricks, unfairness and kin

FACTS HEARING on FACTORIES.

Mr.. W. J. Kincaid. one of the leading
cotton mill men of Griffin. in fact of the
state, throws out some suggestions in a
! letter in the Constitution of Atlanta, bear
| ing upon the factory situation in this
| state which are well worth careful consid-
Grafton. Mr. Kincaids remarks are based
! upon a question as to why there is 50
many more cotton mills being built in
! the Carolinas than in this state; why
Northern capital goes TO those states and
to Alabama, instead of coming 10 Geor-
gia.
According TO Mr.. Kincaid, the Legisla-
! lures of the Carolinas do not continually
keep capital seeking investments in fac
tories alarmed by threats of high taxa
ton and legislation calculated to autago-
nize the relations between employers and
employees He states it as fact that the
tax rate is higher in this state than in
either North Carolina or South Carolina.
The question of taxation is one that capt.
talists carefully consider before establish
ing an industrial plant requiring the in
Veament of a large amount of money. The
tax laws of Georgia do not permit of any
exemption of mill property from taxation,
and the tax rate is high, because of the
large amount appropriated for schools ana
pensions. Mr.. Kincaid might also have
said the rate is increased considerably by
the expenses of an annual session of the
Legislature Pretty nearly every state in
the Union has only one session in two
years. Georgia statesmen, however seem
to be of the opinion that The people are so
anxious for new laws that a session every
year is necessary. II the Legislature held
biennial sessions instead of annual ses-
'sions. there would not only be a saving
to the state of more than $4,000 year,
less and harmful legislation
The sentiment of the state approves the
giving of pensions to those deserving them,
but there is a belief that many persons
are receiving the bounty of the state who
are in receipt of good incomes. This is a
matter that should be looked into and cor
rected. The pension burden has become a
very serious one, and it is all the while
becoming heavier. There is no good rea-
son why in this state there should be so
much more iberallty in granting pensions
IMAM III SOME OF the Otnef SOutne1n states.
1t is true that we have felt a sort OF
pride in the fact that this state gave as
much in pensions as all the other states
which were in the Confederacy, but it
seems that this generosity threatens TO
injure the state by keeping away indus
trial enterprises that are alarmed by high
rates of taxation.
We call attention TO this letter of Mr.
Kincaid's more for the purpose of impress
ing upon our municipal government than
for any other the necessity of cutting
down municipal expenses, so that it will
be possible to lower the rate of taxation.
We are agitating the question of facto-
ries. The lower our tax rate the more
inviting will our city be to those who are
seeking favorable factory sites. Instead
of increasing the number of officials and
increasing salaries. there ought all the
time to be a pressure in the direction of
lower taxes.

when a Little Child Moved IngersoII.

When a Little Child Moved lngersOu.
Where a man of brains and kindly
thought met little child and was con-
quered by sweet babyhood and trusting
faith is best told by William Wordsworth
Goodrich, an architect of this ci1y, says
a Baltimore dispatch In the New York
Press He never tires of telling the story,
and his bearers never weary of listening.
1T was on the 18th Of January 1885 he
said, when I occupied a berth in "a Pull
man car coming from Chicago opposite
that occupied by Robert G. Ingersoll. In
the next lower berth TO his was a woman
and her babe. The young wife, who was
on her way to New York, had her berth
made up early. She had prepared the
baby for bed, and as she sat on the edge
of the berth the baby at her knees, she
taught the baby its evening prayer Now
l lay me down to Sleep
The child lisped the prayer as only a
baby can. AS the words I pray the Lord
my soul to take were uttered, who should
be standing with folded arms in a very
revereut attitude in the aisle beside the
bowed form-none other than Col. Inger-
soll
God bless mamma, God bless papa,
God bless everybody the mother spoke,
and the baby lisped.
AT the final Amen Col. Ingersoll
clasped the baby in his arms and kissed
the child on the forehead reverently, say
ing God bless everybody BY this time
all of the car occupants were onlookers.
The great Ingersoll held the wee little
baby, cooling in his arms, and he was
talking to it, Finally he laid the child in
the berth, saying. Good night. little one;
good night. Quick as a flash the baby
said bod bless 90
"Ingersolrs answer was Yes, yes; God
bless Voui "

Jeers Changed to Cheers.

The appreciation which the American
people manifest toward those who show
personal bravery in the face of great odds
reminds me of President Johuson's act of
valor in this city soon after the Civil
war; said citizen, according to the
Cleveland Leader. ''The President was
making a speech from The balcony of the
Kennard House, and the corner streets
were crowded with people. many Of whom
jeered the chief executive, for at that time
the anti-Southern feeling was bitter. Fin
ally a brick was hurled at the President.
who deliberately took off his coat and said
10 the bowling mob:
Fellow countrymen. II any of you
would like to see me personally here
l am"
Then the jeers changed to cheers, and
the President continued his address, a
highly respected individual!
