The Color Of the SKY.

Why Is the sky blue? It is ques-
tion that probably has not. arisen in
many minds. Most people are content
10 accept the fact without inquiry.
The sky Is blue-and not yellow, red
or green" said a science student,
simply because the countless mill
lions OF particles ia the atmosphere
reflect only the blue portion OF the
suns light Some Of these particles
are water, but most Of them are com
posed Of the oxygen or nitrogen Of the
air. But someone may say, the sky
is sometimes red az sunrise or sunset.
True, and until quite recently the fact
was a puzzling one. II is now known
that the red tints come from the
watery vapor in the lower layers Of
the atmosphere. while the deep blue
OF the sky belongs to the higher lay
ers. The red hues, IN fact. do not rise
higher than Eve miles from the earth.
But whatever the color It is entirely
derived from the air. If 1t were pos
sible for you TO ascend above the
atmosphere that surrounds the earth,
your blue sky would be suddenly

Last night Mr.. r. B. Wood
lectured at the w. r. C. Hall.
His theme was the negro and his
treatment by the white man.
We heard only the latter part of
his address, and cannot fairly
Judge of it's merits. What we
heard indicated that the speak
er's contention was that the ne
gro, as race, did not enjoy suf-
fcient liberties. The speaker
stoutly disc1aimed any thought
of advocating social equality.
What he hopes to accomplish
is still mystery. We judge
from his closing remarks that he
expects to take to the lecture
platform, aud he is probably
feeling round for his subject.
We hope he will choose one diff
ferent from that used last even
ing, or that he will treat it with
more reason and less sensation.

THE KICKER CLAIM.
From the Citizen

Un6 OlUlZeD,
It has been called to the atten-
ton of the Citizen that certain
men, whose motives are not dis
interested to say the least, have
stated, or at least insinuated,
that the Court allowed a claim
against the Colony Company in
favor of P. H. Fitzgerald which
was bogus, aud that the Court
did so because the attorneys con-
scented to the same, and the Citi-
zen takes this opportunity of de-
nying that any such judgment
was ever rendered and presents
the facts all of which are matters
of record of the superior court
and the books of the Colony'Com-
pany.
Mr.. Fitzgerald had just decid-
ed to sue the Colony Company
for balance of account due him
and the Tribune Company as per
the amount showed to be due
him by the books of the Com
pany. Just prior to fling the
suit and after he had employed
an attorney for that purpose,
Mr.. George Kicker bought the
account of Fitzgerald having OBJ
tanned evidence of it's amount
and correctness from the Colony
Company's books and the old
colony company's off Gals. The
claim was sued by Kicker. Judge
Roberts appointed Attorney
Kennedy to defend same. The

Did you read Mr.. Cleveland s
speech in the last Enterprise?
Even if you did you probably
failed to get the full force of the
following:
The people know that their
country's prosperity, like the
rains of heaven which freshen
and beautify the ornamental lawn
and at the same time make pro-
ductive the farm and garden,
should be distributed among all
the people in every station of
life; and they will challenge the
claim of party which boasts of
a prosperity itA has wrought,
which gives to it's pampered
favorites added opportunities to
increase their riches, while the
poor and those who toll wait like
Lazarus to be fed from the
crumbs which fall from the rich
mans table"

FIigh-Flying Newspaper
Reporter.

Constitution Bureau, 746
Second street, Macon Ca, Oct.
With his nerve with him
ripped through the cigarette
between his teeth, Paul E.
Wilkes, local news reporter of
Macon, this afternoon made the
highest balloon ascension yet
made during the state fair.
After shooting up through space
for nearly a mile, the reporter
dropped, suspended to a para
chute, and fell in the lumber
yard of the Willing ham Furni-
ture company.
Though Wilkes was scheduled
to go up with Professor John e.
the, balloonist, who has
been making ascensions during
the fair, the balloon was not in a
condition this afternoon to stand
the weight of two, and the bal
loonest was finally persuaded to
permit the news-reporter to risk
the trip alone. A bomb, which
the balloonist exploded on earth,
was the signal for the reporter to
cut the parachute loose from the
balloon. At the last minute Vice
Presiden.. Smith, of the Macon
Fair association, who gave his
consent for the reporter to make
the ascension, repented and
sent two policemen to arrest
Wilkes. But it was too late
the daring news REPORTER was on
his way to see if there was any
news retiring in higher attitudes.
This is, perhaps, the most sue
cessful balloon ascension ever
made by newspaper man on the
first venture.

THE COLONY RECElVERSHIP.

editor of the Citizen also consent
ed to each and every one of these
orders, at least we think we did,
and if any orders are in exist
ence purporting to be consent
orders" to which our consent
was not obtained, we have not
heard of them"
Editor Ryman guessed right
when he concluded to use Attor.
ney Jays name to impress us
with the righteousness of the
court orders. We have the great
est confidence in, and respect
for Attorney Jay. 1t is not d new
frie n d s Up, but one that has
stood the test of years, and
grows stronger each succeeding
day, but it must not be supposed
that because he represented a
few stockholders who received
three or four hundred dollars
out of an expenditure of forty
two thousand, that the righteous
ness of all transactions growing
out of the receivership is a FORE
gone conclusion. On the other
hand there seems to be no rea-
son for alarm at this stage of the
game, on the part of Col. jays
friends, or on the part Of those
who would seek refuge behind
his reputation. The Enterprise
is going on the assum ption that
the receivership has been admin
istered to the best interest of
the stockholders, and that even
Attorney Ryman can explain
satisfactorily his attitude as at
torney for the stockholders, Ca
vast majority of the stockholders
represented and at the same
time ipress claims against
them which the statute
of limitations had nullifed.
In this connection we suggest
the thought that the statute of
limitations is a good jaw, and if
it could ever be invoked right
eously, it occurs to US that it
might have been done in the
case stated by Attorney Ryman
in Editor Ryman's paper.
