ROOSEVELT THE
ROUGH RIDER,
Severely Arraigned By the Catholic Bishop
Of Georgia.;

SIyI1 nah. Ga, April 81. - The Rt
Rev. Benjamin J. Kelley. Catholic
Bishop of Georgia, was the Decora
ton day orator for the Confederate
Veterans of Savannah this year. HI
spoke last night to the veterans and
their friends at the Guards hall. His
address was upon conventional lines
until near the end, when he said.
after paying a tribute to the memory
of jefferson Davis:
at is true that the gentleman who
now happens to sit in the Presidential
chair at Washington has written OF
President Davis: Before jefferson
Davis took his place among arch
traitors, etc, it was not unnatural
that to dishonesty he should add
treachery to the public. The moral
difference between Benedict Arnold on
the one hand and jefferson Davis on
the other is the difference between a
politician who sells his vote for money
and one who supports bad measure
to get high political position.
Miles and Davis.
"When Mr. Davis was living and a
prisoner, I6llOW Udu6U MILES plbC0u
shackles on him in prison, though there
was no necessity for it, and no one but
a brute would have done it, But have
never heard that Miles, after Mr. Davis
death, brutally maligned his charac-
ter. That species of envenomed malice
was reserved for the recreant son of a
Southern woman, the rough rider of
Republican politics at the accidency |
of 1909. the lightning change artist of !
the White House, who can hobnob with
the Kaiser brother, and sit cheek by |
jowl with an Alabama negro, who can
indulge in meaningless platitudes
while South on the bravery and com
mon heritage of Southern heroes and
denounce them before the Grand Army
as anarchists; who can profess broad
American spirit, which brands sec
tionalism as crime, and laud the 10y
atty of our veterans of 1861 SO, to the
,onstitu tion and reunited country,
while the damning evidence of his
,wn written words show that he com
pared the noblest Roman of them all.

Sheriff Hight, Deputy Ed Hight and
Constable Goad raided an open air era
game on the river bluff near the old
cemetery. When the officers made
their presence known the negroes blew
out the lights and made desperate
effort to get away. There were ten
negroes in the gang and in the dark
ness the officers succeeded in catching
three or four. However the names of
the others were secured, ana all were
brought into Esq. Hayes court this
morning. They plead guilty and
were fined 80. so each.

Bid for Bridal Tour Travel.

bdltlUlOTe AiIltTICdu.
The news comes from Pennsylvania
that the Erie Railroad is about to put
a ban upon one of the frivolities incl
dent to marriage. If its proposed
rules can be enforced there will be no
more rice thrown upon happy couples
while they are at the station or in the
train. Since the iconoclastic spirit
thrives so Justly, and modern science in
sists upon destroying the illusions fos.
tered by those Of idealistic dispositions,
the motive of this order will be attrib-
uted to the soulless nature of the
corporation. But this would be unjust,
for, in reality. their reason is philan-
thropic one. Underlying it is also
one of prosaic prudence. or late several
passengers have been injured by slip
ping upon rice-strewn platform, and
the mere possibility of damage suits
that such accidents involved was suffi
cient to steel the hearts of the officials
against the manifestations of such
matrimonial amenities as rice throw-
ing.
But there is another phrase of the
matter which proves the innate Gun
ming of corporation servants. A rail
road that guarantees no rice throwing
would meet with favor with shy
couples, who detest the embarrassing
practice and would pray to be rescued
from their friends. The assurance of
such protection would attract them in
such numbers as to more than coun-
terbalance the losses the road would
suffer through this unsentimental
blow

Narrow Escape FIR Drowning.

Dr. J. L. VOORHEES, had narrow es-
cape from drowning Friday. He
was called to the home of Mr.. John
Loftin up Duck river, and as the
waters were very high and the bridge
had been washed away, he had to
either cross the river In a boat or take
a ten mile ride. He crossed safely
in canoe with Kirk Loftin, but in
returning the boat was overturned be-
fore reaching the bank. Dr. VOORHEES,,
who cannot swim. caught small
limb of a small tree which had been
left standing ten feet out in the
stream by the high waters. He grad
ually pulled his way up to the tree
and was later rescued by Kirk Loftin,
who had in the meantime reached the
shore. The boat was lost.

that the whole body and mind needs
