DuB1GNoN NOT A CANDIDATE.

The temporary retirement Of Hon.
Fleming duBignon from active public
life removes one of the brainiest and
most distinguished southerners of the
decade from the political arena. 1t
is in all truth public calamity, that
this strong minded man should have to
succumb to physical disability at the
early age of48, and turn deaf ear to the
applause of his fellow man, wrap his
martial cloak around him, leave the
public rostrum and say to his friends,
81 can be with you no more" This
instance is pathetic, and all Georgia
will hear with sorrow that DIR. Charles
Dana, an eminent New York special
list, has advised Mr.. duBignon that he
must forever give up all hope of max
ing the race for Governor of Georgia
Had Mr. duBignon made the race, the
voice of the Times-Recorder would
have been lifted in behalf of his candi-
dacy, and every personal and profess
lonaI effort of it's editor would have
been put forth to land this brilliant
Georgian in the executive chair. For
there is not drawer, truer democrat in
all Georgia than Fleming G.duBignon,
and there is no office in the gift of this
commonwea lth big enough for him.

The papers report Major g. NJ.
Royals, of Savannah, as saying that he
would rather be president of the State
Agricultural Society than to be presi-
dent of the United States. Hon. Pope
Brown once said he would rather be
Railroad Commissioner than to be
Governor of Georgia. Now the gen
tlemen from Pulaski seems to have
changed his mind, so "mout it be"
with the gentleman from Chatham.

ONE PROPHEsY THAT FAILED

The one criticism of the Porto Rican
decision is that it holds Congress to be
a bigger man than the Constitution
the created superior to the creator
But, as that Brooklyn congressman of
convivial memory once observed,
"What's the Constitution between
friends?" It is we'll to remark, how
ever, that this historic compact has
survived all of its critics IN the past,
and is likely to resist the assaults of
the future.
In 1927 Daniel Webster made the
following prediction to a Philadelphia
friend:
''Sir, " said the god-like Senator, eff
Gen. Jackson is elected the govern
ment of our country will be over
thrown, the judiciary will be destroy
ed. Justice johnson will be made
Chief Justice in the room of Marshall,
and in half an hour Justice Washing
ton and Justice Story will resign A
majority will then be left with Mr..
Johnson, and every constitutional de-
cision heretofore made will be revised. :"
About the only thing he intimated
which did take place was the election
of Jackson, and as far as heard from
both the country and the Constitution
retain their respective positions.

NEGRO DULLES.

The decent negroes of this communi-
1ty should themselves take some action
against these DULLES who disgrace the
race. Where, for example, an excursion
train goes out there should be COM
mlttee charged with the special duty
of handling the rufians and protecting
both themselves and the trainmen. No
matter what drastic measures they
may take they will be fully supported
After few salutary examples set in
the way we suggest there will be no
further trouble. There is no doubt if
the conductor yesterday had not acted
swiftly he would have been killed, for
his assailants were armed with life
taking weapons and were bringing
them into action. The we'll behaving
negroes are themselves numerous
enough to suppress the murderous mis-
creants and they should take the bust
ness IN hand. - Macon Evening News.

PARIS FASHIONS.

After so many raids into the Renais-
sance epoch, whence the Partisan
gown builders have returned with a
rich booty of damasks, heavy laces
and cabochons, they have gone to the
late eighteenth century. They have
made some really exquisite things by
grating some latter day styles upon
the classical Louis XVI. First, is the
Louis XVI. stripe, which is very much
in favor and in which lovely gowns
are made almost entirely in the style
of the period, with pointed corsage
nothing modernized bu the voluminous
skirt But the adaptation to the femi-
nine taste of some of the masculine
garments of that epoch really consti-
tutes the piquant note of the revival.
This does not refer to the little Mar.
quis hat, which is certainly jaunty and
fetching, but which is so easy to rem
der that Paris now swarms with them
and exclusive women have naturally
renowned the pleasure of wearinf
them, but to the Marquis habit which
is unspeakably chic and picturesque
now that litheness is in order. They
have no particular significance in
cloth, on the street, where they look
like nothing more than a variation OF
the half length redingote. Besides
they have their real Louis XII cachet
only when they are made of silk or
satin, in delicate shades. A beautiful
creation worn at a grand dinner dam
bassade had skirt of very fine white
Chantilly, without seam, of course,
and en- forme. so that the whole upper
ortion was drawn smoothly over the
satin underskirt. while the width was
such from the knee down that it pro
duced something like the effect of
high ruffle. The pattern of the lace
had been followed throughout with the
finest possible thread of gold. The
white satin underskirt was trimmed
with a knee-high ruffle of chiffon
edged with innumerable ruches of tina
same. The Marquis habit was of gold.
colored taffeta, embroidered all arouno
with the most delicate vignette of gold
underlined here and there with black.
The broad pocket revers were of black
panne embroidered in gold, and so
were the revers opened far down on
the bare shoulders. Three ancient
jewel buttons held the coat on either
side of the low-neck front OF the bod
ice, which was of lace like the skirt
and very gracefully draped. The
sleeve, close fitting, was cut a few
inches above the elbow by a Ratchet
blade revere of the same GOLDEN.

sided there with his family a number
of years.
Mr.. McTavish finally decided to dis
pose of the estate, and it was sold to
Charles M. Dougherty, a Baltimore
merchant. who paid 100000 for it.
Mr.. Dougherty made the place a
summer home for some time, until he
removed to New Orleans 20 years ago
He took great pride in the place and
kept it up handsomely. Shortly after
his removal he sold it to Royal Phelps,
of New York, father-in-law OF ex-Gov.
John Lee Carroll, through whom it
passed into the possession of its pres
ent owner, Mr.. Charles Carroll.
Mr.. Carroll renamed the place Car
rollton Hall, but it continues to be
known far and wide as Folly Quarter
and Folly Farm, and will probably
never shake off those names.

JAPS IN ARGENTINA.
Experiment in colonizing the South
American Republic.

Experiment in colonizing the South
American Republic.
A novel experiment in colonizing is
about to be made in the Argentine Re-
public, says the New York Press. 1t
has been found that the French, Ger
man and English immigrants for the
most part have selected the cities and
large centers of population for their
residence. In these places they have
got control of many industries and
take a leading share in the commerce
of the country.
The Italians have been engaged
heavily in river navigation, while the
stream of Irish, which used to supply
the demands for agricultural labor, fill
up the shipyards and supply the la
Dor of the decks, flows no mere. Some
French, Swiss ard German peasants
have founded agricultural colonies,
and in certain places the Russians and
Poles form the bulk of the rural
population.
But the Argentine government has
decided that none of these nations
supplies, in sufficient numbers, a
rural population for the development
of the country, and have decided to
import Japanese farmers. A great
concession has been given in the prov.
ince of Formosa for the first colony
and arrangements have been made to
bring over 10000 Japanese farmers
and settle them there.

A Hill Top Soma.

Now the golden summer sunlight
Cleans athwart and thro' the pines;
And the fragrant breath Of June time
Stirs the tangles in the vines,
And the echoes from the canyons
Drift in ecstasy along
Drift in ecstasy and languor,
On tide of liquid song.
Lo, with fash of purple fire
Comes the sunset edged with gold;
With amethysts and rubies,
Burning, cleaning thro' the fold
OF clouds rich crimsoned tinted,
Growing fainter, fainter still,
Till the land is stepped in twilight,
And the shadows haunt the hill.
Now the tender mystic starlight
Thrills the fairy haunts of June.
Silvery glancing where the willows
Bend to hear the rivers tune.
Where the crickets sing together,
And the daisies light the sod;
And the musky, dusky night nymphs
Chant symphony to God.
