TRIED TO WHIP THE EDITOR.

From the Kansas City Journal.
Down in lizard county, darkest Ar
kansas, they do things up brown, says
Bent Murdoch. An editor called a
member of the Legislature 'lOp-
cared liar" and the member went in
to the office to lick the editor. After
minutes conversation the editor
man threw the '.lop-eared liar" out of
the window on to shed roof, which
was rotten, and the Legislature man
fell through to the porch below light
ing on sleeping dog. The dog rose
up and bit the man on the arm, where
upon the "lop-eared liar" kicked the
dog. At this moment the owner of the
dog, hearing a cOmmOtion, rushed
around the corner, very mad. 1t is
not safe to kick an lizard county dog,
so the owner of the dog kicked the
"lOp-eared liar" off the porch into a
convenient horse trough. About this
time the member of the legislature
concluded that he was a lop-eared
idiot and went home.

Use SKULLS FOR PAVING.

A really novel pavement is referred
to in a recent issue of the LOndOn)
Sanitary Record as evidencing an I'M
suspected progressiveness in an Afri-
can tribe. While municipal authOri-
ties are deciding upon the relative
value of asphalt, Belgian blocks, vitri-
fed bricks and wood squares as paw
ing material the inhabitants of Gwan-
du, in Africa, have settled the prob
lem to their entire satisfaction by
using the skulls of their enemies for
paving the approaches to their town.
''More than 1900 skulls are used in
paving the approaches to the various
gates, and to those who do not know
what material is used these cleaning
skulls, polished to whiteness, by the
attrition of countless feet, form an
ivory-like approach of no small at
tractiveness. When a new pavement
is needed there is no scandal about the
letting of the paving contract. War is
declared upon some neighboring tribe,
and presently the WORKOUT pavement
is replaced by new one at small
cost. Life is cheap in the African in
terror"

NOW OR NEVER.

The large and enthusiastic meeting
of business men and citizens at the
court house Thursday afternoon for
the purpose of bringing the depot Sit
nation in Dawson more forcibly to the
attention of the railroads was a step
in the right direction.
There have been SpaSmodlc efforts
during the past several years to nave
the depot facilities in Dawson i'm
nroved. the only result being that the
sbacks would be reprinted and per-
hans new seats placed in the waiting
rooms The prospects are that the
present movement will result in some
thing more substantial-two new and
modern depots, or union station.
The News is confident of it, if the
right kind of work is done. The time
is at hand for accomplishing 1t. One
of the roads entering the city has al
ready made known its willingness to
make the needed improvements-to
erect a new depot if necessary. Inc
other road cannot afford not to do so.
It is not disputed that Dawson, in
point of business given it, is the best
town on its entire line from Macon to
Montgomery, and there is not sta
ton, no matter how unpretentious,
that hasn't passenger accommodations
equal to those that are given the pub
lie here. This road has provided
many towns with passenger STA
ton facilities much superior to Daw-
sons, and is preparing now to make
improvements in other towns while
still neglecting Dawson. 1t cannot
take the money it earns from Dawson
and use it in building fine depots at
other places and be just; and we do
not believe that it will.
Now is the time for the people to
act earnestly and unltedly in this mat
ter if they ever expect to get better
depots. Thursdays meeting shows
that they want better accommodations,
and they will get them if they work
hard enough for them. 1t is now or
never, Failure at this time means
that the depot situation will never be
improved.

TO BE A "OUIET" AFFAIR.

From the savannah News
A Washington dispatch says that
the acknowledgement wedding is
to be "a quiet affair" Certainly:
did anybody expect anything elsef
Haven't the preliminaries all been very
quiet? Only about 5000 invitations to
the wedding have been issued, and the
presents will not be worth more than
$2,00O,000 or $4,000, 900, according to
reports. There will be only three or
four brass bands and a couple of miles
of carriages and some tens of thous-
ands of words of reports in the papers
about the frocks of the bride and her
maids, and the color of "Nick's''
necktie. That will be about all. The
affair will be as quiet as a fourth OF
July in Philadelphia.

WHITE LABOR REPLACING NEGRO.

Central Train Hauled Big Crowd of For
eigners Who Were Coming South.
From the Albany Herald.
The Central of Georgia passenger
train yesterday afternoon was dOub-
| le-header with five extra coaches, and
was one of the few passenger trains
ever brought into this city which re-
uuired two engines to draw it. Two
of the extra cars were filed with white
labOrers.
These laborers were on their way
from st. Louis to Apalachicola, Fla,
where they will engage in sawmill
work. There are several large mills
at Apalachicola, and the labor prob
lem there, as in other localities, has
become a serious one. The negro la
Dor has become utterly Indispensable,
and has been the greatest drawback

PAN1Cs AND CURRENCY REFORM

Mr.. Shaw, the secretary of the treas
ury, told the Ohio Bankers AssOcia-
ton that although there is imperative
need for change in the currency laws
he did not think there will be any re-
form until the country has gone
through a financial panic OccasiOned
by the inelastic currency system.
Early last month a prominent banker
told the New York Chamber Of Com
merce that if the present currency
laws are not changed soon I'VE shall
get panic in this country compared
with which the last three that have
preceded 1t will only be child's play.
"The evil of which all complain is
the absence of any provision for in
creasing and decreasing the volume of
currency in circulation to meet the
varying demands of trade, " says the
Youths Companion, in noting the
statements of these two high financial
authorities. "What happens when
the demand for money is greater than
the supply was shown by the readiness
with which, in November and Decem-
Der, SPECTATORS in New York paid
anywhere from ten to hundred and
twenty-five per cent. annual interest
for call money, that is, for money for
temporary use, to be paid back on the
demand of the lender. The situation
is made more serious by the fact that
the season when the money stringency
occurs is the autumn, when vast sums
are needed for moving the crops. In
deed, it is that heavy demand that
causes the stringency, and the evil af-
fects the hundreds of thousands OF
farmers throughout the country,
whose interests are of far more conse-
Quence than those of handful OF
spectators in Wall street. D."
Various remedies, as our contem-
porary says, have been suggested, all
intended to make the volume of cur
rency respond to the demands of bust
ness. But, it is not likely that any OF
them will receive the serious attention
of congress until the plain people,
rather than the bankers, begin to I'M
derstand that they are vitality inter
ested in currency reform and demand
a change in the laws.

AL rARRED VIII LEE SAME sTICK

From the cambridge Search Light.
Even preachers have a great deal
of human nature in them. One of them
committed suicide in Lowndes county
recently by tieing $50 ID. pulley to
his neck and following it into a we'll,
in which he was drowned. Another
preacher is in the race for governor of
Georgia, while yet another, in Hi
nois, who was president of a bank,
robbed it, and shot himself just like
anybody else would probably have
done. Yea, verify, poor humanity
seems to be all tarred with the same

AN ADMIRABLE EXAMPLE.

In nearly all liquor license laws
there is a provision against selling
intoxicants to a habitual drunkard,
TO a man already intoxicated or to
one whose family asks that liquor be
not sold to him. The law, however,
is continually violated. A jury in
Chicago has set the admirable exam
ple of finding a verdict for seventeen
thousand five hundred dollars against
three saloon keepers who had persist
emily sold liquor to carpenter over
the protests of his wife and children.
The saloon keepers planned to ask for
a new trial, but all friends Of temper
ance hope that they may fail. The
family of drunkard have a vital in
terest in the sale of whiskey to him,
and the law recognizes the fact when
it gives the family power to demand
that whiskey dealers shall refuse to
sell to him. When the courts enforce
this law there will be more happiness
in many homes. and the last dime OF
drunken man will not be taken.
