GOSSIP OF
 HOT SPRINGS

Hot Springs, Nov. 6.--C. R. Corbusier, the mail superintendent, arrived from Panama yesterday and left today. He had team of nine fine dogs and was accompanied by Pitka Minook as dog puncher.
 Mails arrive and depart every six days over the Fairbanks-Gibbon route. Tan dem horse teams dash in and out, re- minding one of the days of the overland stage.
 The distance from here to Fairbanks over the mail trail is so miles; to Fort Gibbon 50 miles,
 The new hotel for use this winter is about completed. It is fine two-story log building, 30 by 60 feet, with hot springs water throughout The con- struction of the new hotel will not be attempted until spring. All construc- ton for the winter is nearly finished.
 Many fine cabins are occupied by families here. Gil Edgar and wife, Jack Price and wife, Sellander and wife, all Fairbanks residents, are here. Calder head, the Dawson steamboat man, is also here with his family Sociability reigns, and skating, dancing and cutter rides are the order of the day. The gay social season is just getting under way.
 The new winter trail from Glen and Eureka to the springs has been com pleted. Cy Noble is making the first trip over the same today.
 F. G. Manley intends to keep the public informed as to the success of the Keystone drill as a prospecting ma chine. The drill bored 75O feet last month.

SHOULD AVOID rHgDgMAoocuE

In recent speech Judge Alton
B. Parker said: "Above all and
beyond all things, we must avoid
the demagogue like the pestilence
which walketh in darkness. For
the first time in our history we
see reflected on the screen of the
future the shadow of this baneful,
sinister figure. Hitherto both in
our national life and in our impor-
tant states even the suggestion of
his presence has been resented Z"
The demagogue is as old as Cheops,
adds the Macon Telegr aph, by way
of comment, and even in our own
country he is not a brand new ar
ticle, but it may be true that some
of the very liveliest specimens
ever known are just now on exhi-
bi ton.

The announcement of Captain

THE FIRING OF oveRsrREEr

Had Mr.. Fl. K. Overstreet, the
political bully from Screven coun-
y,any sense of propriety he would
not have waited removal as coun-
sci for the Central of Georgia Rail
way. The Central gives as it's
reasons for asking the resignation
that it wants no lawyer in It's en-
ploy who openly charges that the
road is seeking to dominate the
politics of the state or in any way
is opposed to the good and welfare
Of the state. This action upon the
part Of the Central Railroad in fir
ing au employe inimical to its IN
terests is entirely proper, and If
the CentraPs law department will
weed outa half dozen others of the
Overstreet brand in Georgia who
ride on free passes and "cuss the
corporations" its interests will be
the better subserved.

Bishop Greer, preaching in st.
Marks Church, New York, last
Sunday, declared his belief that
there was no such thing as abso-
lutte skeptieism in religion. There
were persons, he said, who by
word of mouth denied the exis-
tence of God, but deep down in
the heart of each such person there
was profound belief in divini-
ty. There are persons, according
to the Bishop, who think they are
atheists and infdels, but at the
last analysis they are among the
most firm believers in a supreme
being.

1t has not been many years
since loyalty to party in Georgia
was the test of voters Democ-
racy. Few dared to exhibit signs
of independence, and the majority
boosted of being staunch Demo.
Gratis. The voter who failed to
vote the straight ticket, no matter
who was nominated, was looked
upon as traitor against whom an
athena was pronounced. The sit
uation has changed. Not loyalty
to party but rather loyalty to the
interests of an individual or the
fortunes of a faction is esteemed
the more shining virtue. The
welfare or success of the party is a
minor consideration. Factionists
openly declare that if their fac
ton is defeated they want the
other faction defeated also. They
prefer a Populist administration
to one controlled by the opposing
Democratic faction. Feeling thus,
the election is made secondary to
the nomination, and everything is
sacrificed in the bitter struggle of
one faction to triumph over the
other in the matter of the nomina-
ton. The interests of the party
are not considered. 1t is each fac
ton for itself, and the devil take
the hindmost. The party also.
This is the situation in Georgia at
present.
