PhiIoIoRy of "Toast."

From the London Chronicle.
The origin of the word toast" In
drinking health is interesting. The
drinks most in use in the sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries were sack,
canary, claret, sherry, and others, to
which it was customary to add honey
sugar, ginger, cinnamon, and other in
gradients; also a piece of toast which
fioated on top of the liquor, and was
supposed to give it an additional fla
yor. Later on, in the eighteenth CEN
tury. DR.. Pohnson relates: "A certain
beau. being at Bath, pledged a noted
beauty in a glass OF water taken from
her bath; whereupon another roysterer
cried out he would have nothing TO do
with the liquor-but would have the
toast-that is, the lady herself" From
this incident, II Is said, arose the habit
of giving a lady's name to preface, or
flavor. the drinking of wine. Hence a
popular lady whose health was often
drunk became "a toast" or "a great
toast" Later the word has come to
mean any sentiment which prefaces a
drink.
A Harrow correspondent points out
that the custom of giving toasts "ex-
isted I'm the feasts Of the ancient Ro-
mans" and supplies three instances
from Plautus Horace, and Martial.
He Is perfectly right; and he might
have gone even further back. In both
Greek and Latin there Is a word TO
denote the giving OF toast" but the
nerson honored was not always lady.
our correspondent viii remember the
creek who drank his last cup Ito the
gentle Crtias." IL was rather the orr
Gin OF the English term, as given by
DIR. Johnson, which aroused our inter-

JONES GRANTED BAIL.
He Killed RingwaId in Bulloch on
Christmas Eve.

Statesboro, Dec. 2S.-Dr. r. D.
Jones, who killed Mr.. Ringwald on
Christmas eve at the house of the
former, came into town to-day to have
preliminary trial. He was arrested
on warrant charging him with man
slaughter. which gave him a right to
give bond. Jones attorney made ap-
plication for bond. Messrs. Moore &
Deal, in order to prevent this, dis
missed the warrant for manslaughter
murder. Jones attorneys, however,
mad waved commitment and demanded
an Indictment upon the warrant. This
they contended acted as a supersedeas,
ana the court, presided over by Judge
4. d. Holland, let the defendant off
with $1,000 bond. The turn of af-
Ialrs took was surprise to the at
Iendants upon the court.
Claude DeLoaeh, one of the prin-
clpals in the shooting, previously re-
ported in the Morning News, is not
uead. Instead, he is said to be inn
proving. Martin Jones, the other COM
oatant, is also improving. He had to

to compel the surrender of Gen. But
Ter with 10000 men. But such GRIEF,
though oft recurring, was in the latter
part of his life short-lived. He had
evidently made up his mind that 1t was
useless to deplore the inevitable. A
contribution to blunt these sorrows
were the social amenities which met
him everywhere. The Difference ex-
tended to him. even in the far North,
and especially in New York, brought
out of his nature the latent regard
he had for his fellowmen.
I'm domestic life, although his i'm
pressive personality was ever present,
his gentle and solicitous concern for
the welfare and pleasure of all around
him, even to inquiring into the trivial
details of daily life, would doubtless
have given rise to surprise in strang-

The speaker related something of the
Generals interest in budding talent,
which he had often helped out of his
personal means; of his interest in pa
pers and magazines, and his reading of
military books and correspondence on
these matters with several French gen.
erals, one of whom now holds an i'm
portant position in the French army.
Regarding the generals part in the
war, his son, like his near friends,
urge that had he been allowed to carry
out his plans at certain points, the re-
suit would have been very different,
and that his name cannot be separated
from the great events at Sumter, of
the successful battle of Bull Run, at
which he commanded, and of many 9TH
err important epochs and it is consid-
cred quite certain that If Gen. Lee had
co-operated as requested he would have

The Experience Which n Lowndes
County Man Had With Christmas
Booze,


Valdosta, Ca, Dec. ga citizen
from the western part of the county
had an experience night before last
that he viii probably never forget. He
came to Valdosta for the purpose of
taking the Georgia Southern train for
Lake Park, fourteen miles below here.
While waiting for the train he pro-
ceeded to tank up" and by the time
the train arrived he was feeling in ex-
cellent shape. He boarded the train
and, being unfamiliar with the road.
he got off at the first station, Dasher,
which happened to be about seven
miles this side of his destination. AS
soon as he discovered his mistake, but
after the train had gone speeding along
it's way, he decided to walk the bal
ance of the distance.
He got within mile of Lake Park,
in fact. within, the corporate limits of
the town when he fell in a gully and
had some difficulty in getting out.
When he reached the railroad track
again he was completely turned
around, but he decided to follow his
instinct as best he could. He walked
for two or three hours, when finally
electric lights began to cast long shad-
ows through the trees about him. 1t
was the first intimation to him that
Lake Park was an electrically lighted
city. He walked on until a closer in
spection revealed the fact that he was
again in Valdosta- 1t was then nearly
II o'clock at night the citizen having
walked about twenty-one miles during
the five or six hours of his wander
ings.
He put up that night at one of the
hotels and left instructions to be
called for the early train next morn
ing. He reached Lake Park safely that
time, sadder but probably a wiser

Waycross, Ga. Dec. 2S.-The little
son of Mr.. and Mrs. E. L. Hendricks
is reported quite i'll from complica-
ton of diseases, and the attending
physicians says his recovery is doubt
full.
Robert, a 12-year-old son of DR.. J.

a powder explosion on Christmas, is
doing very well. His eyes will not be
impaired, as was feared.
The merchants of Waycross report
the largest holiday trade in the history
of the city. 1t has been noted that a
darge trade came from a radius of 100
miles.
Albert Green, who several days ago
got poison in his eyes while playing
with some other boys, will lose his eye

he will lose both his eyes. He is II

in Jail for several days before any

the officers were not sure that he was
the right man. An officer from Pulaski
came down yesterday and returned to
Hawkinsville with Howard to-day,
there being no further doubt of his
identity. Howard has been working
within a mile of Valdosta for a year
or more, but it was not known that ne
was wanted for any crime until he
was pointed out to the officers by a
negro "spotter." 1t is said that he has
been tried for the killing and sem
fenced to life Imprisonment, but that
he and two other prisoners escaped

vnnnmb, Calling on. Congress to
Enact state Election Laws, Was
voted Down.
Atlanta, Dec 2s.-The meeting of the
penublican State Central Committee in
the Senate chamber this morning
proved to be a very tame affair. The
committee at first decided not to &C
oent the resignation of Walter John
son as chairman, though it did later,
and w. A. Pledger will continue in
active charge of the committee. Res
olutions were adopted congratulating
,be last session of the General As
saubly upon defeating the Hardwick
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT bill. Among the
prominent Republicans present were
Ex-Gov. Bullock, District Attorney E.
Angler, Internal Revenue Collector
Rucker, Judson Lyons, H. L. Johnson,
A Graves, ]. H. Deveaux, r. D. Loske,
n C.. Rheinhart, P. o. Holt, ]. w.
Wood. Postmaster w. H. Smythe, M.
p. Morton, w. A. Pledger, Prof. c. M.
Dent. ]. c. Simmons and others. Res
olutions were offered extending the
thanks of the Republicans of Georgia
IN Mr.. Johnson for his work. and the
sincere regret of the organization that
he should be forced to give up the
leadership; also expressing the great
est confidence in w. A. Pledger as a
worthy successor to Mr. johnson.
The question arose on the accept
ance of the resignation. On vote
the ayes were Is and the nays SO.
No Regrets for johnson.
The strongest objection to the ac-
ceptance of the resignation was that
the committee did not believe in ex-
pressing it's regrets at having to ac-
cept the resignation. Later a simple
resolution accepting Mr.. Johnsons res
ignation was adopted.
A resolution was adopted expressing
the great loss to the country in the
death of President Mckinley and the
confidence of the Republican party in
Georgia in the administration of Pres
ident Roosevelt. The resolution was Of
fered by ex-Gov. Bullock.
In a few remarks during the session
Chairman Pledger said that ne did not
know whether the Republican party in
this state should be thankful, but he
knew it ought to be appreciative of the
action of the dominant party in the
state in refusing to adopt the Hard
wick bill. Regarding the distribution
of federal patronage he said that there
had been no dissension in the ranks OF
the organization over this matter.
A resolution was offered by Prof
Dent of Savannah calling upon Con-
gress to appropriate money to test the
election laws in the various states
where amendments had been made to
the organic laws of these states looking
to the Acknowledgement of the negro.
This resolution was regarded as slar
in the face of the Georgia people, who
had just refused to enact a law dis
franchising the negro. Much objection
was raised to the strong terms of the
resolution. The resolution was voted
down once. On the motion of Judsor
Lyons, it was again taken UP, and after
brief discussion it was adopted.
