DEMOCRATS GETTING TOGETHER.

There is but little hope of getting
the Democratic party together 80 long
as those who deserted 1t IN 1896 con-
tinue to inform the great mass OF
Democrats who supported the regular
nominee what great fools they were.
We hear that tariff is to be the issue.
Grover Cleveland who ON one occasion
sent in a message containing nothing
but tariff talk, incurred the hatred OF
the tariff lords and they combined to
defeat him. They put up their money
by the millions, and the clubbing they
gave Grover was long to be remember
ed. Nobody ever heard any more
tariff talk from that source. He Joined
Wall Street Immediately on the money
question, he destroyed our silver dol
lar, when his duty was to uphold the
currency of the constitution. Along
with his destruction of our money,
came the destruction of our party.
Many misguided people looked on this
Individual as a prophet, Soloman in
fact, and were ready to follow him Into
the Republican party or any where
else, to do as he did vote for Mckinley
or the decoy ducks, Palmer and Buck
ner. By bis assistance and theirs the
party was defeated. Does anybody
suppose that Cleveland and his cohorts
can now return to the Democratic
party and dictate its policy? For
ourselves we would rather be dog and
bay the moon than submit to such
thing. They came back because their
new found company was worse than
their old friends. They came back
with the odium of having deserted, of
having caused Democratic defeat, Of
having turned on the South, of having
brought on in part the Spanish war
with the blood of the Philippines on
their hands, and want to take the
Democratic reins and run the party.
At the same time they come in blow
ing their trumpets about saving the
financial part Of the government, and
damning Bryan, who the rank and file
of the party supported, and who today
Is cheered when Cleveland and his lit
tie squad of non descripts are Missed.
This is poor way to ''re-unite" the
party. These gentlemen will have to
take back seat for a while at least.

StrlbIIng Strings Road.

The Stribling Springs road from
Joseph G. Horns to Stokesville was
established by the county on Monday
last by Judge Chalkley affirming the
report of the two commissions. Mr.. J.
Z. Horn gave notice Of an appeal, but
some slight modification of the terms
being agreed to between him and the
Chesapeake Western Co. the whole
matter was adjusted, and the road
will now be opened. It is believed that
the company, which has purchased
Stribling Springs, will now begin i'm
provements at once, as the manner of
reaching it has been settled, and as
trains are now running regularly to
Stokesville, visitors can be transpor-
ted there as soon as the new road is
open.

s.vannah society VIII Soon BE De-

With the dancing season over, what
ever aftermath of gaiety there may
=. in the way of card parties and teas,
one may feel that summer is not far
off. The shirtwaist girl, never entirely
absent in our sunny winter time. is
here to stay. charming as ever in her
starched freshness. On the golf links,
making the most of the last cool
weather, in the shops, bending her
fluffy head critically over summer
lawns and laces, strolling down Bull
street in the idle hours of the after
noon. she is everywhere in evidence,
aarbinger of summer pleasures. For
those delightful days are near when
society, tickle as proverbial April, turns
its back upon the dull town and seeks
the cooler waterside; when velvet
gown and.dress suit give place to mus
lin frock and comfortable linens, and
formality is packed away with winter
furs-the poet-sung hours of ham
:
II is scarcely a month now until the
opening of the Tybee season, and the
beginning of those jolly little parties
of young folks that go down for an
afternoon dip in the surf, a picnic
supper afterwards seated in a laughing
group on the white sand, and then
a merry evening on the pavilion. Even.
before the Tybee season commences.
and that is not long to wait there are
always excursions to the Yacht Club
on the open trolley in the cool dusk,
with the pine-scented wind in ones
face, and the woods each side, fragrant
and mysterious. And then supper,
perhaps, and the quiet afterchat on
the broad veranda with the moonlit
river below, and nothing to disturb the
harmony, unless it be mosquitoes-per-
ish the thought! Even for those who
cannot get away, town-life in summer
has compensations such as these.

is DICK swIvELLER ABOUT.

Is there any American girl, says the
Baltimore Sun, who wants a reserved
seat among the blue-blooded elect at
the coronation of King Edward? If
such there be, let her ponder over this
announcement in the advertising COL
umns of a New York newspaper:
"An American lady may take her
seat as a Marchioness in Westminster
Abbey during the coronation; prelimi-
nary negotiations in confidence"
How ineffably delicious this is! Just
think of the glory and rapture of sit
ting as a marchioneSs in Westminster
Abbey when King Edward, wrapped
in a cloak of cloth of gold, does royal
stunts to celebrate his possession of a
nice, soft snap" Is there an Ameri-
can girl who can afford to be absent
on such an occasion?
1t Will. be observed that before she
takes her seat in stminster Abbey
there must be preliminary negotia-
tons in confidence" 1t is easy to
guess what these negotiations involve
There is a noble marquis rich in blue
blood, but poor in pounds, shillings
and pence. He wants to confer his
title upon some daughter of Uncle Sam
who is short on blue blood and long
on hard cash. That is the explana-
ton of the mystery American girls
who want to sit in Westminster Abbey
as marchionesses must have credentials
from their bankers before they make
bargain with the gentleman from
Anglo-S axondom who has a title to
sell Applicants for the honor should
hclose a certified check for all their
cash with their bids. 1t is said that
blue-blooded Englishman should be
reduced to such methods to enrich him
self. 1t would be much sadder, how
ever, If any American girl should buy
rim and his title and his seat in West
minister Abbey.

tOn-Dodge Lumber Company.
The Vale Royal Mills have been sold
by Mr.. H. P. Smart to the Hilton
Dodge Lumber Company. 1t is UNI
derstood that the price paid was $780,
900, a check for which amount, drawn
in favor of Mr.. Smart and signed by
the Hilton Dodge Company passed
through one of the banks yesterday.
The mills are located west of the
Central Railway and Ocean Steamship
Company's terminals, and are among
the most modern and best equipped
plants in the state. At these mills Il
speciality has been made of the manu-
facture of cypress shingles and lum-
Der, an industry which has recently
received large development in this
section.
The Hilton-Dodge Company will con-
tinue the operation of the mills, having
leased from Mr.. Smart large lumber
interests along the Savannah river. on
these lands vast quantities. of cypress
timber are still to be cut, sufficient
probably to run the mill for many
years. The company owns mills and
timber lands in various parts of the
state and the Vale Royal mills will
be operated in connection with it's other
manufacturing plants.
Mr.. Smart could not be seen last
night about the sale. 1t is understood,
however, he feels well satisfied at the
favorable opportunity thus given him
to retire from a business in which he
was among the pioneers in Georgia.
