First came the flood at Des
Moines that rapidly spread de-
struction downacross the country
to the valley of the Missouri
which, at Kansas City, destroy
ed millions of property and
drowned many people. Further
west and south particularly at
Topeka the flood was most dis
astrous as to life and property.
Then within few days and be-
fore the water subsidized at Tope-
ka, Gainesville, Ga, was visited
by one of the most disastrous
windstorms, which destroyed
more than half million of pro-
perty, killed a hundred people
and left homeless thousands of
the poor class. Before the ex-
tent of this disaster was fully
realized comes the report of the
most terrible floods in South
Carolina, At Spartanburg and
along the Pacolet river the de-
struction to life and property
was simply appalling, Early in
the morning of the 9th suddenly
and without warning a flood
swept down the valley and wash
ed to destruction several of the
finest cotton mills in the south,
destroying probably six millions
dollars worth of property and
more than hundred lives. Never
in the history of the country has
three catastrophes, all from the
elements, followed with such
startling and appalling results
and SO closely. While these
events are transpiring, for
est fires are burning furious1y in
a thousand rections in the East
ern states, destroying many mil
lions of property.

Why do some of the newspa-
pers abuse Mr.. Bryan so much?
He is not candidate for office
and is not likely to be again. vi
emma Progress.
Abuse of Mr.. Bryan has not
been INDUCED in by the Enter
prise, although we have little re-
spect for Organism. Mr.. Bryan
has been the idol of one of the
greatest political parties in the
history of the world, and as it's
candidate the writer voted for
him, but his day of usefulness to
the party is passed. His inter-
meddling will do, is doing harm.
His economic vagary of 16 to 1
has been listed with the follies of
dead political misconceptions.
But hundreds of thousands of
his followers still live and their
stubborness, encouraged by the
old leader, is the one thing, the
only thing, that stands in the way
of democratic success.

count of the ditch opened for the
sewer, butrea1ly we cannotsee but
the accident was purely provi-
Dental. Of course it was posi-
BILE to avoid the accident by
opening the ditch on the opposite
side of the street, but nobody
expected such a flood, and with
usual weather the plan as under
taken would have worked all
right. Nevertheless it is true
that greater caution might have
resulted in adopting the other
side of the street and avoiding
the trouble.

The massacre of Jews in Rus
STA has startled the world and
shocked civilization. In noticing
the outrage Grover Cleveland
gives expression to the senti-
ment that will impress every
right thinking man, in the follow
ing language:
There is something intensely
horrible in the wholesale murder
of unoffending, defenseless men,
women and children, who have
been tacitly, if not expressly, as
sured of safety under the protec-
ton of professed civilized govern
ment. Such things give rise to
a distressing fear that even the
enlightenment of the twentiety
century has neither destroyed
nor subdued the barbarity of hui
man nature, nor wholly redeem
ed the civilized world from mans
inhumanity to man."
In the meantime let the peo-
pie of the United States, gather
ed together in such assemb1ages
as this in every part of the land,
fearless1y speak to the civilized
world, protesting against every
pretense of civilization that per-
mits medieval persecution, a.
gainst every bigoted creed that
forbids religious liberation and
freedom of conscience, and a.
gainst all enlightenment that ex-
cuses hatred and cruelty toward
any race of men, and against all
spurious forms of government
protection that withhold from
any human being the right to
live in safety and toll in peace"

Last Friday Fitzgerald and this
whole section witnessed one of
those downpours that reminded
us of the floods that have recent
ly done so much damage in the
west and in South Carolina.
The showers were light
and intermittent early in the
day, but just before noon the
precipitation became immense.
No great damage resulted except
the caving of the large ditch
on Pine street being opened for
the sewer. The ditch was
opened along the north side of
the street and very near the
water main, which is not as low
as the bottom of the ditch, and
when the earth became thorough
1y soaked with the steady, heavy
rain the heavy eight-inch pipe
caved into the ditch breaking
several joints and necessitating
the cutting off of the water pres
sure on that branch of the main.

Since his election to the presi-
dency of Wesleyan Female Col
lege, Hon. Dupont Guerry has
been numerously and generous
1y complimented. Many enconi-
ums have been pronounced on
him by the admiring weekly
press but the editor of the
Douglas Breeze, Hon. Jas. Free
man, writes probably the most
unique of all the complimentary
paragraphs. The editor of the
Breeze Enthusiastically says:
Editor Dupont Guerry has
been elected president of Wes-
leyan Female College. Presi-
dent Guerry was born in Ameri-
Gus, Ga, 1848, and is great man,
but is not the only great man
born in Americas that year.
The editor of the Breeze was
born in the same town in the
same year. Ahem! By Gum!"

Ohl or the Atlanta Constitution
last week. If there is anything
that Griggs understands better
than any other it is how to get
interviewed" He is probably
the best advertiser in the Geor-
gia delegation.
But in that interview Griggs is
supposed to have said:
1T seems to me that we have a
fair fighting chance to win if we
can just get together, but that
apparently,is not the easiest thing
in the world for Democrats to do.
Down our way we are all for har-
mony, but we don't want the l.
to1d-you-so kind that some of our
friends are disposed to dish out
to us. refer particularly to the
esteemed gentlemen who assume
that the minute we say we are
anxious for harmony that it
means we are willing to admit
we have been absolutely wrong
in supporting the Democratic
ticket and Democratic principles
in the last two presidential con-
tests. There are some eminent
gentlemen who seem to think
that the way to promote harmony
is to construe our advocacy of it
to mean that we are willing and
anxious to accept Cleveland and
C1evelandism. Now, in my iudg-
ment--and think the vast major
ity of Democrats believe as l do
there can be no harmony if Mr..
Cleveland is to be put to the fore
any more than Mr.. Bryan is. I
am for any man who can win. l
believe the interests of the coun-
try demand the overthrow of the
Republican party; but there can
be no harmony, and no victory, if
the old factional lines are to be
drawn. The men who are en-
gagged in an attempt to revivify
Mr.. Cleveland into a presidential
possibility are certainly not doing
their part toward Democratic
getting together, however loudly
they may protest to the con-
trary."
Mark this language II think
the vast majority of democrats
believe as I do" That's the key
note.
Lets transpose the words in the
above quotation and we have Il
(alwavs) believe as 1 think the
majority of democrats do" The
words express more precisely
than any other language can the
platform of the shrewdest poll
tician in Georgia.
1t was an open secret in the
second congressional district six
years ago that Griggs was a
sound money Cleveland democrat.
but he realized that that was the
impossible road to Congress, and
he has always been very loyal
Griggs man.
Now when the astute congress-
man realizes that majority of
the democrats" have concluded
that what he said about Set. cot
ton as a certain result of mono
metalism" as he termed the
sound money policy of President
Cleveland, and that thousand
other predictions of his in his
first campaign for congress,
(Which sound now as much like
the ranting of a maniac as his
prating about the I-to1d-you-so
kind of harmony, sounds to US
like the palaver of demagogue, }
he will experience a change of
heart and get in the push. Otis
the business of professional poll
ticians to keep in the push.
Congressman Griggs knows,
as does thousands of his polit-
ical ilk, that Cleveland is by
odds the strongest demo-
crat in America and that his
nomination is the only hope of
the party in the next campaign,
but having made himself
