of bread by public authority was a
familiar principle in the English COL

BEHAVED MODESTLY.

The Telfair Enterprise has the fol-
lowing to say of recent visit of Sena-
tor Clay to McRae:
Senator A. S. Clay was registered at
the Harris House in this city Friday
night last. lie was on his way to Ro.
chelle, where he made the literary ad-
dress at the closing of school. While
the distinguished gentleman was in our
city he behaved very modestly, not let
ting the fact be known that q United
States senator was in our borders. We
regret that we failed to see him.
How else could Senator Clay have be-
haved except modestly. Surely the
Enterprise would not have had him in
scribe senator after his name on the
hotel register, or walk down the streets
telling everyone that he filled this most
important office?
The failure Of the Enterprise editor
to see Senator Clay while in McRae
could but have been a disappointment
because it is always pleasure for any.
one to meet Senator Steve Clay except
on the stump. He is a genial, clever
gentleman, and makes Georgia an able
and acceptable senator.-Dublin Couri.

THE FOLLY OF THE DAY.

There is a dreadful ambition
abroad for being "genteel " We
keep up appearances TOO often at
the expense of honesty and though
we may not be rich, yet we must
seem to be respectable" though
only in the meanest sense-in mere
vulgar show. We have not the
courage to go patiently onward in
the condition of life in which it
has pleased God to call us; but
must needs il some fashionable
state to which we ridiculously
please to call ourselves, and all to
crafty the vanity of that unsub-
stantial, genteel world, of which
we form part. There is a con-
slant struggle and pressure for
front seats in the social amphi-
theatre; in the midst of which all
noble, self-denying resolve is trod-
den down, and many fine natuI es
are inevitably crushed to death.
What waste, what misery, what
bankruptcy, come from all this
ambition to dazzle others with q
glare of apparent worldly success,
we need not describe. The mis-
chievous results show themselves
in thousand ways-in the rank
frauds committed by men who
dare to be dishonest, but do not
care TO seem poor; and in the des-
perate dashes at fortune, in which
the pity is not so much for those
who fail as for the hundreds of
innocent families who are so often
involved in their ruin.

THE PRICE OF BEEF.

For more than a year the price
of beef has been steadily advan-
cling, until it Is now higher than
most dealers believed it would 90.
A few days ago it was announced
from Chicago that the slaughter
houses would take some action
relative to payments on purchases
that they had made that would
send prices to much higher level
than they have yet been. Whether
this action will be taken or not,
remains yet to be seen. Certain
it is, however, that beef is high
enough III all reason, for the good
of retail dealers and consumers
throughout the country.
Trade reports during the past
month have shown an abnormal
number of small failures in the
meat business in various portions
of the country, Small dealers have
been put of business by higher
prices. They tried to make a pro-
fit on meat without raising the
price, tried to remain in business
on the old price basis, and failed.
1t may be q natural, thing for
meat prlces to steadily advance,
but the threat of the packers and
Islaughtec horses to stop payments,
as.above explained, isnot natural.
That Is pure meanness, AID it is
coupled with the information, fur.
nished by the packers themselves,
that unless the Government makes
certail rulings favorable to their
side of the meat inspection law,
prices will go higher than they
have ever been known to be il
time of peace. Such conditions
are extremely aggravating, and
the Government should use all the
power In it's hands to bring the
robbers to time.-Chattsnoo ga
