A CANDID ATE's TROUBLES.

Frank j. Merriam. who is a candi-
date for the Legislature from Fulton
county, publishes the following card
in the Atlanta Journal:
Notwithstanding the fact that
have lived South practically all my
life, have worked earnestly for the
good of the South, and more especially
to build up her agricultural interests,
the accident of my having been born
at the North has given occasion for
certain malicious creatures to circu-
that 1 am a candidate for the Legis-
lature. l have been called an infidel
a negro school teacher and other very
bad names, all of which are false. 1t
is not necessary that a man should
parade his religion on his coat sleeve
for every jackdaw to peck at. My life
and business dealings will bear wit
ness to my moral character. I pay
my debts and treat others as l would
have them treat me. / do, and al
ways have. believed in the principles
of Democracy and a white mans gov
eminent. The negro needs to learn
how to work. and whenever I have
an opportunity l endeavor to teach
him how. l have never taught him
anything else. and never taught any
kind of school in my life | have been
told that the fact that | was born
North would prevent my election to
the Legislature in Georgia, no matter
what l had done to benefit the South
but do not believe 1t is true, and will
not until IL is so proven"

A GEoRGIAN,s INVENTIONS.

B. S. Cobb is a Cuthbert, Ga. man
who married a girl Of 16 when he was
only II and went to Texas to make his
fortune. He got work in the Texas
and Pacific shops and rose to the place
of a locomotive engineer. In 1894 he
began to invent a brake, and has been
spending everything he could make on
it ever since. He got some of the roads
out there to try his invention, but none
of them have yet adopted it. He drift
ed to Montgomery, Ala. some time ago
searching for success with his inven-
ton, and with a wife and five children
to support, went to work as a motor
man on the street car line. He pur-
suaded the street car company to try
his brake. and they put it on the worst
car they had. 1t was success. Some
months ago he was offered $25,0 900 for
his patents, but refused it. Later he
was offered $50 600, and refused that.
Now NJ A. Baldwin, president of the
First National bank of Montgomery
has taken it up. He has taken a fourth
interest In it, put up the money TO
place it on the market, and Mr.. Cobb,
instead of being a motorman, now
busies himself with his brake at a
handsome salary. Mr. Baldwin is him.
self in New York arranging either to
sell the patents, which Cobb refuses TO
sell for less than 100000. or to arrange
for getting the brake into use on the
roads of the country. The invention is
called the Cobb beamless brake. The
claim for 1t is, that it costs less by SO
than the old beam brake. and that it
does away with the danger of the beam
which causes nearly all accidents from
the brake that occur. 1t is adjustable
10 any car.

D,sPENsARY IN pay. COUNTY.

The town of Pelham stands alone in
the unique distinction of having in
operation a dispensary system created
by ordinance Of her City Council. The
dispensary, however, is sailing with
yer troubled seas. Mitchell
county, under the provisions of the To-
cal option law, is dry 1t is therefore,
illegal for persons" to engage in the
sale of liquors within the county. But
in the case of Butler ct al. VS.. Merritt,
that went up after the adoption of the
provisions of the local option act max
ing the county dry the Supreme Court
held that the word persons used in
the local option act did not bind the
dispensary commissioners of Mitchell
county, they being public corporation
and a branch of the government, and
therefore that the dispensary could be
operated in the county by such COM
missioners regardless of the fact that
the county was dry" The last Legis-
lature repealed the act creating the
County Commissioners, a body corpor-
ate under the name of the "dispensary
commissioners for the county of
Mitchell" The repeating of the act
authorizing the dispensary system
would seem to make the county and
towns in the county hopelessly dry.
until another election. But the City
Council of Pelham, acting under the
advice of counsel. created an ordinance
creating a .dispensary system for the
town of Pelham, under which a dis
pensary is now being operated. A le-
gal fight is being made against the in
stitution. however, and its future is
very uncertain.

He followed the negro, who, seeing
that he was spotted, tried to evade
him. but was finally arrested at the
Union depot He was carried to po-

rest spread quickly, and created big
excitement in North Augusta. Ar
engagements were quickly made to try
to get possession of the negro to lynch
him The plan was to telegraph to
Gov. insolvency for requisition papers,
and as soon as the negro should get
on Carolina soil to lynch him. The ne

NEWSPAPER OPINION
a Horn That Increased

From the Washington Post.
Purists in taste may condemn the
esthetic crudeness Of Mrs. john Horns
plan TO decOrats her drawingr0om man
tel in Los Angeles with a golden image
of a washboard and bar of soap.
Handicraft in the precious metals has
found nobler and more dignified uses,
doubtless, and if Mrs. Horn we're ring
ing in another era OF blue-and-
rolling-pins and beribboned coal-scut-
ties it would be some ones duty TO
protest. But she has no su,h purpose.
Her symbols are sacred to herself, and
designed only as memorial of the. ulti-
mate source from which she and her
husband acquired the means of owning
a drawingrcom and a mantel TO Orna-
ment
The history of this couples rise in the
world may be briefly told. Seven yeals
ago they Joined the caravan of emf
rants from California to the Alaskan
gold fields, and settled in Circle City.
Here Horn went TO mining, while his
wife, resolved to be something better
than a silent partner in their fortune
seeking enterprise, set up a tub and
washed for the minens. taking her pay
in gold dust. Unlike some of hCr
neighbcrs OF her own sex, who lived in
dreams and spent their money before
they got it, she laid her hand to the
first task within reach, eschawed finery,
Stunned gambling and invested her
savings, which We're considerable, in
her husband.
Now. If anything nerves a man 20
real endeavor. it is the sense that his
wife believes in him; and John Horn
soon learned that his wife not only did
this, but stood ready TO back her judg-
ment with cold cash, scraped together
at the cost of many a weary day for
her bent shoulders and active elbows.
We can readily conceive, then. of the
pride and self-cOnfidence with which,
whom the rush set in for the Klondyke,
he Joined It, with a generous grub
stake, contributed by Mrs. Horn, in his
pack. No wonder, either, that when he
had settled on a claim and found il
full of good pay dirt, mis- first thought
was to send for his spouse and hacker
to join him. She came at his call. The
muscles she had trained at the wash
| tub fell once more into useful play in
a country where hired brawn was
scarce and costly. and the next season
witnessed her Juggling at a windless
and saving lher husband the heavy ex-
pense Of an extra laborer. The stout
hearted pair are now millionaries, and
have retired to Los Angeles to set uI
