INTERNATIONAL COMMENT.

Vidala Press: Col. Terrelrs an
nouncement as a candidate for Gov
ernor is an able paper shrewdly con-
structed and calculated to catch votes
going and coming" He tells how the
teachers, the old veterans and every
body else are to be taken care of, but
failed to indicate plan to reduce
taxes, as Gov Gambler did in 1898. Col.
Terrell is a smart politician.
Americas Herald: Mr.. Guerry hopes
that arrangements will be made for
joint debates and will insist upon them
as to his fellow member of the bar,
Mr.. Terrell But Mr.. Estill more skilled
with pen than with tongue, trusts that
'no such nonsense as that will be start
ed in Georgia again" we do not
want any political chickering's on the
hustings," insists Mr.. Estill.
Bulloch Times: Savannah ought to
have the State Democratic Convention.
1t has not met below Macon in a very
long time. There are, consequently
thousands of good people in Southern
Georgia who have never attended a
state convention who would like to do
so, and who will if it is held in reach
of them.
Dahlonega Nugget: In his announces
ment Col Terrell candidate for Gov
ernor touched the pension business in
a very indefinite manner by saying
None but deserving Confederate vet
ersans should receive pensions from
the state" While Col. Estil makes
ii plain to all in the following lam
guage II am in favor of restricting
pensions entirely to INDECENT soldiers
and their widows Confederate vet
Grams may be deserving but still able
to earn their living and such should
not receive the states bounty" In
this assertion every interested tax
payer can't help but agree with Col
Estill.
Douglas Breeze: An exchange re-
minds us that most of the Confederate
veterans of Georgia who have receiv-
ed office from the people, were cap
tains, colonies. majors. etc. This being
true il is time the high privates in
the rear ranks should receive recogni-
ton, and there was none among that
brave band more deserving than

Gainesville Sun: Joshua Brooks,
colored boy 9 years of age. was shot
and killed at Rocky Point by Maxwell
Walker, another colored boy 10
years of age. Walker had his fathers
shotgun and was standing in the door
of Brooks home. Brooks was only a
few feet away and as Walker APP
preached the door he said that he was
going to shoot. He cooked both bar
rels of the gun and the little boy ask
ed him not to point the. weapon at him.
Walker replied that the gun was not
loaded and at the same time pulled
both triggers. One barrel took effect
in the abdomen of the smaller boy,
killing him almost instantly. There
was one barrel of the gun not loaded.

on the tube of the barrel. He did not

4 FAKE THEOLOGICAL STUDENT.
Atlanta Constitution: Daniel s. For
sythe, theological student who came
here with high recommendations to
several of the best Atlanta families, has
suddenly disappeared. leaving his So
licitous patrons with worthless drafts
in return for kindness shown. The
theological student left Atlanta the
early part of last week, and though
letters from him were confidently ex-
pected by a number of his Atlanta
friends, none have yet arrived. The
religious fake arrived in Atlanta about
two weeks ago and worked with great
deXterity the same old game which has
so often relieved people of their sur
plus cash. Forsythe did not rush his
game at all. He told a very nice story
of his hardships in preparing for the
ministry and excited much sympathy.
He politely declined offers of assist
ance which were promptly made him,
saying he had friends in Louisville,
KY. whom he could call upon. Later
he had his Atlanta friends cash small
drafts on Louisville parties and made
number of small loans. After his de-
parture his friends were still confident
that he was all right, and that his
Louisville drafts would be honored. The
first draft to come back was dishon-
ored, and the man on whom it was
drawn stated that he knew the young
theolog well and that the latter had
fieeced him and nearly everybody else
in Louisville who was not sharp enough
to be on to him.

and Shipping.
The steamboat Doretta is putting on
her colors for the war she is to engage
in soon with the steamboat Louise for
business ON the Savannah Bluffton
route. The little steamer is at the foot
of Bull street. She is being painted
and is otherwise receiving a general
overhauhng. 1t is the purpose of her
managing owner, Mr.. James Foley, to
put the boat in good condition before
she goes on a regular schedule. The
Louise is making regular trips to Bluff
ton, bringing good freights this way.
Fertilizer is beginning to move some,
and this forms a large part of outward
bound freight.
From present appearances lovers of
seaShore excursions are to be fully ac
commOdated the coming season. Some
of the resorts have boats of their own
which will be put on regular schedule.
Mr. Oemler will put the steamboat
Wilmington on the route to Whining
ton Island. And it is probable that
the keen competition now existing on
the different routes may result in the
withdrawal of some of the boats dur
ing the summer months to engage in
excursions. There was talk of inn
provements at Daufuski, which would
make that beach more attractive as "a
summer resort, but nothing has yet
been done in this direction.

Tourist Hotels.

Southern California is becoming fairly well supplied with hotels, for the benefit of the large and constantly increasing tourist trade. Some locali- ties are well supplied; other localities are short of this great commodity.
 Take Riverside, for instance; it has no tourist hotel; and as a result, the tourist travel goes to San Diego, Red lands. Pasadena and other cities bet ter supplied for their accommodation. A move is now being made in River side to secure the building of tour ist hotel to cost $150,000. Two prop ositions are being considered, but both are faulty. A hotel for the ac- commodation of the tourist travel ought not to be located in or near the business center of the town.
