HON. DUPONT GuERRY.

Hon. DUPONT Query, of Macon,
delivered an address at the court house
on Wednesday night of last week.
Owing to a very short notice, the
audience was not large, but was COM
posed OF some of our best citizens.
The speaker was introduced by Prof.
s. v. Sanford. Mr.. Query declared
he was democrat and q state prohibit
zionist. He spoke OF the lobbying in
the legislature by liquor and railroad
corporations. The deficit in the State
Treasury was due to the fact that the
taxes were not collected. He made
plain statement, dealt in facts, and
made no effort at display. He was
we'll received and made good i'm
preston on his hearers.
Query says he is state prohibition
ist and will approve prohibition bill
if it passes the legislature, if he should
be elected Governor. Terrell announ-
ces for Governor and says if he is elect
ed he will also approve a prohibition
bill if it should reach him. As the race
will be between Query and Terrell the
prohibitionists will not have anything
to fear from either one of them, but
the Governor cannot approve prohi-
bition bill unless the senate and honse
pass it. So there is where the rub
comes in, and where the efforts of pro-
hibitionists will have to be made. for
Terrell and Query both stand commit
ted to approve state prohibition bill,
and one or the other will be nominated.

A mulatto negro, well dressed, APP
peared at Acworth about two months
since, gave his name as Will Albright
and claimed to be representing Albright
& Son, tailorslat Savannah. He brought
lot of clothing with him and began
peddling them out there and elsewhere
mostly among those of his own race.
On last Friday night Mary Dobbs,
colored, with whom he had secured
board, had occasion to go into ALI
bright's room. While there she no.
ticed several overcoats bearing Mr.. o.
Awtrey's mark and, becoming suspi-
cious, inquired of Albright why he had
clothing with this particular mark on
them. He then claimed to have pur-
chased the overcoats from Mr.. Awtrey
This explanation, however, did not sat
isfy the honest old woman and she went
to Mr.. Awtrey next morning and asked
if he had missed the goods. Upon ex-
animation, Mr.. Awtrey found a lot of
goods missing.
A warrant was sworn out for the ne
gro, and goods found in his room to the
amount of about 500. 1t was armed
that Albright was in Gainesville, and
when arrested there Saturday he was
wearing an overcoat, suit of clothing,
with two extra pairs of pants, hat and
shoes belonging to Mr.. Awtrey.
He has been selling goods in Acworth,
Emerson, Gainesville, Kennesaw and
Marietta, getting the bulk of his stock
from Mr.. Awtrey's store, and the total
amount of goods, such as clothing, hats,
shoes, millinery goods, ETC., stolen from
this one merchant may aggregate
| $500 the greater part of which has
been discovered and returned to the
owner, not, however, without more or
less abuse. 1t is also claimed that ALI
bright has received large shipments of
goods from Dallas, Ga, and other places
and it is thought that he is only one of
a number of thieves operating in this
manner throughout this part of Geor-
gia. One store keeper at Gainesville
had bought from him over $50 worth
of goods and another at Emerson some
! $50 worth, nearly all of which was re-
covered. 1t is thought he had secured
key to Mr.. Awtrey's store and helped
himself as he chose.
Albright was tried before Justice
Stokely at Acworth Saturday and bound
over to Cobb Superior Court. He was
tried Tuesday morning, convicted and
sentenced to ten years in penitentiary.

HIS OPINION.

Hon. DUPONT Query, candidate for
Governor, in his speech here last week
said of his honorable opponents,
where is there any necessity of
transplanting Hon. Pope BrownIfrom
the office of Railroad commissioner,
in which he has four years to serve, into
the governors chair? Are candidates
so scarce as all that? AS for. Hon.
Joe Terrell he has been an Office seek
err every since he opened his political
eYes-2l years old-except the two
times he was acknowledging solicitor
general, representative, Senator and
Attorney General for ten years. And
Mr.. Estill, he is just South Georgia

THE OIL DISCOVERY.

The article published in the Marietta
Journal Of last week telling of the dis
covery of oil on the farms of Mr.. George
B. Nigh and Rev. S. A. Paris, near Ma
rietta, created no little excitement and
was the talk of the town. 1t is said
there were probably one hundred or
more people visited the Nigh farm on
Sunday last. and obtained in vessels
some of the oil as found in the branch
or ditch running through the farm. 1t
has all the appearance of kerosene oil
in smell and taste, and rag dipped
into the water and saturated with the
greasy fluid, when match was applied
TO the rag. it blazed and was soon re-
duced to ashes.
State Chemist McCandless says it is
kerosene and that refined oil does not
come out of the ground. One of the
Beaumont wells, we are informed
bowed the clear kerosene when tapped
before the thick petroleum was reached
HuONiIS IldJ IL Idu DetH ulS!llleu ny
percolating through the earth. We are
incompetent to pass judgment on it,
but certainly there is oil there on the
branch.
Mr. r. +. Butler. who owns the Whit
lock farm, adjoining, but half mile
west Of the Nigh location, says on Sun
day, in company with Hon. J. E. MOI
ley and Mr. James York, they found
this oil, like kerosene in smell and very
greasy, in branch on his place Mr..
James Barawell found on a branch on
his farm, below the Nigh farm, this
oily fluid
Joe Rainey, colored barber, says
while out hunting one year ago last
March he stopped on the Nigh farm
and drank water out of the branch, and
then remarked to his companions
This is the meanest water l ever put
in my mouth-it tastes like kerosene. u
Now, there are the facts. You can
make up your own verdict.

NOT A PERSONAL ORGAN.

The Dublin Courier says it will not
be personal" or political" organ in
supporting candidate, but will give
all a fair and equal show, and when the
Democratic party makes a nomination
will support the nominee. 1t does not
wish to prejudice the public against
any candidate, for that one might be
nominated and it would have to "eat
crow" However, it will stand and ad /
vocate principles.

The man of wealth marries a woman
who is beautiful and gracious; one
who will bear his name proudly. Her
home is handsomely appointed She
fits into her environment as a statue
in its niche. AT her command are SER
wants, horses and carriages-or auto
mobiles, in this mechanical generation.
She is privileged to trade upon credit
and dress for her position in life.
But too often her pocketbook con-
tains less than the woman in moderate
circumstances, whose husband has
salary and gives his wife stated sum
to live upon. The rich wife. if asked
by members of her club for a dona-
ton, must consult her husband first.
She has no ready money, and frequent
iy is obliged to ask him for paltry
amounts. She is humiliated and be-
comes embittered; her dignity is low
cred. Sometimes she employs deceit
with which to obtain resources from
him. And her thought of her hus
bands parsimony soon kills all her
tenderness B. Anthony, in the

Most abused in the public estima-
ton of all the members Of human So
ciety is the stepmother Ii is there
fore with a certain thrill of satisfac-
ton that We read in the daily chroni-
cles that in the slow evolutions of
justice one stepmother at least has
been INDICATED. She is not the terror
that tradition would have her to be;
she is not heartlesS she is not cruel;
she is not selfish more than are most
mortals. She is simply a good. aver
age woman, doing her best as she sees
it. Such is the typical stepmother
whom novelists and other perversely
developed idiots have taught us never
theless to loathe.
In this case the stepmother had an
excellent opportunity to prove her
self devoid of narrow maternal preju-
dice 1t was one Of those families
in which there are three brands of
children. to use a common CONNER
cial term. On both sides it was
second marriage The husband had
his particular exclusive set of children,
and his wife hers. Then there was
a set that Jointly belonged to them
both Now, to this meritorious step
mC.her's view. each of the exclusive
sets was as ungovernable and as mis-
chievous as the other, and both with
equal viciousness pitched into the
third The set that was joint property
had put out of Joint, so to speak, the
noses of all the rest
The stepmother of tradition would
have shielded her own exclusive
children. But this stepmother was the
real thing; hence the difference. She
found it intolerable that the youngest
set of children should be the victims
of both the older sets, and she said
so, and DECLARED that she herself was
at the mercy Of the latter The law
stepped in at her request, and it is to
be hoped that its intervention will les
sen the hardship Of her lot
In many savage tribes the step
mother is held in superstitious reyer-
ence and fear. and yet She simple wife
has less liberty and more drudgery
than with ether races. We, with our
civilized pretense Of chiyalry, treat the
stepmother nearly always ungenerous-
ly. In most cases she has more diff
cult duties TO perform than first wife,
and it is not at all certain that she
does not as often perform them well
There have been stepmo.hers, and
there are many in the world, who were
or are among the sweetest most pa
tient and most devoted Of womankind.
Many a good man can look back and
trace his soundness of character and
his success in the world to a good
stepmother. Honor to her. we say,
as much as to the other kind of moth
er, where she deserves it.-Philadel-
phia Times.

Care of Spring Lambs.

Where spring lambs are to be the
chief crop, it is necessary to make
summer preparations Tor them. With
the lambs born in the late fall and
midwinter, it should be the aim of
the grower to provide proper food for
them. Good farming crops raised in
the summer should keep the ewes in
good condition up to the time Of the
breeding season, and when the lambs
arrive they viii also have an abund-
ance of food. If one must go to work
and buy all this food the profits in
spring lamb growing will be discount
ed. Glover or alfalfa hay should be
raised in abundance good crop of
either will save many dollar later.
AS the lambs are to be fed cracked
corn generously, it is necessary that a
corn crop should be added that of the
hay crop.
The ewes themselves should be fed
freely and generously to make them
do their best They should have in
the fall and early winter a good ration
of clover hay and shelled corn and
bran in the morning, and corn and
ccwpea ensilage at noon. In the
evening they should have crn fodder,
some grain and some mangles or 9TH
err root crop. Such a ration fe% sys
tematieally will produce excellent re
suits. The ewes will prove good
mothers, and bring into the world the
finest spring lambs.
BY good feeding it is possible in
time to secure a flock of ewes which
will produce many twins. The ewes
which show tendency to produce
twins should be carefully selected
and fed separately. By breeding
carefully in this way the profits of
the work will be nearly doubled. But
it should he remembered that ewes
not well fed cannot bring into the
world twins in healthy condition, nor
can they rear them successfully after
they are horn.
Consequently perfect health of the
ewes is the first great step toward
success. Unless one raises his win
ter feed i'll abundance he will not give
the sheep The amount and quality of
food that they demand for this puY-
pose When we have to purchase
food in the market we feed so eco
nomically that we are bound to de-
prive the animals of their rightful
allowance. Provision for next sea-
sons spring lamb should therefore,
be made now.-E. p Smith, in Am
eIican CutivatoI.
