HORSE THIEF.

A stranger came to Marietta the 9th
er day, giving his name as ]. Stewart,
of Pittsburg, Pa, saying he was look
ing after the establishment of tele-
phone line. He had fine horse and
told Msyes & Brown, liverymen that
they might have all over $S5 90 that
they could get for the horse. Mr..
Brown sold the horse in a short time to
Mr.. w. P. Stephens for $1,000. The
stranger pocketed the money and the
next day left town. The horse was
hired for three days from W. ]. Prath-
er, liveryman Of Atlanta, the stranger
had been stopping at hotel in Allan
ia for a month. Mr. PrstheF-. came to
Marietta, claimed the horse and Mes

To the Public.

The Marietta Courier of last week has
an attack on me in connection with the
recent Gilmer county contest. am in
formed by Mr.. Christian that it was
written by N. A. Morris.
This is in line with his policy ever
since he bought that paper. For over
three years he has constantly villified
and misrepresented me. Both by direct
attacks, and indirectly by slurs and in
nuendoes, he has sought to undermine
my reputation and besmirch my charac-
ter and good name.
He has made many charges against
me that he knew to be false.
Two years ago had him indicted for
criminal libel. Afterwards 1 allowed
the cases settled, on his retracting the
charges in his paper and the Marietta
Journal and admitting they were not
true.
At the same time he promised my
friends to make no further fight on me.
As soon as the cases were settled he open
ed his scurriious attacks on me again.
No promise Is too sacred for him to
violate, no friend too close for him to
betray. This is shown by his treat
ment of some of his best friends in the
recent county election
His course towards me has been actu-
ated purely by malice, and yet he is
trying to pose before the people as an
example Of fairness.
The records of Cobb Superior Court
are covered with indictments against
him for criminal libel, for buying votes
and for trying to intimidate grand
jurors, yet he sets himself up as a great
reformer and disciple of law and order.

The GILMER COUNTY CONTEST,

On the hearing of the Gilmer
county contest, the State Demo-
cratic Executive Committee specl-
ally directed the Democratic Elk.
ecutive Committee of Gilmer coun-
ty ito permit every white voter to
cast his vote in the June primary,
who, when challenged, shall sub
scribe to the conditions stated in
rule 2, adopted by the State COM
mittee."
Rule 2 provides that ALL WHITE
VOTERS, irrespective of past politi-
cal affiliations, who, in good faith,
desire to align themselves with the
Democratic party, and who intend
to abide the result of the party
primary and support the party
nominations, can vote in said pri-
mary.
This means several hundred
voters in Gilmer county for Foster,
for Judge, that we're DISTINGUISHED
four years ago. And it means that
Gilmer county, which gave Morris
457 majority four years ago, will
give Foster not less than 800 ma.
iority on June 4th.
We fail to see where Morris has
anything to crow over, as, by the
action Of the committee, he has
lost between 700 and 800 votes.

ON RISING GROUND.

It is patent to all observers in
political matters that Colonel Fos-
ter, candidate for Judge of the
Blue Ridge Circuit, is on rapidly
rising ground. From all sides
come reports encouraging to his
friends. People who rarely take
much interest in politics are wax
ing up and going to work with
their coats off; friends who have
oeen little slow to arouse them.
selves after the primary, have
taken hold of the campaign in
earnest.
Then, too, all recognize that Col
onel Foster is a thorough lawyer,
and realize that we need lawyer
and not a politician on the bench.
There has been a notable falling
away from the opposing candidate
since the Cobb county primary.
This came about because many
people were not satisfied with the
course pursued by him on March
goth. Elements of great strength
have come to Fosters side since
then, seeing that he is man who
did not hurt the interest of his
friends in local politics to try to
build up himself in the circuit.
His course has commended itself
to all right thinking people.
Foster is on rapidly rising
ground.-Marietta News.

PAIN AND PLEASURE.
The Sensations That Come When :. 8
Person Is EsnceS.

The Sensations That Come When q
Person IS Hanged.
This is the way Rev. J. T. Mannsin
Spare Moments describes the way it
feels to be hanged:
At Fort Barrancas, Fla, on April 4
1865, was hanged as Confederate
spy. I spent four minutes physically
and spiritually between earth and
heaven. Then a Yankee sergeant, be-
Iieving me to be the wrong man, cut
me down.
Ny Irst sensation when the barrel
was kicked from under my feet was
that q steam boiler inside me was
about to explode. Every vein and
blood vessel to and from my heart
seemed charged with an oppressive
fullness that must frd an avenue Of
escape. The nervous system through
out its length was tingling with
painful, pricking sensation the Ike Of
which 7 never felt before OF since
Then followed the sense Of an e1plo-
sion, as if a volcano had erupted. This
seemed to give me relief, and the pain
gave way to a pleasurable feeling, one
very desirable could it be secured with
out death. With this sensation light
broke in upon my sight, light Of
milky whiteness, yet, strange to say,
so transparent that it was easier to
pierce with the eye than the light Of
day Then came into my mouth a
taste Of sweetness the like Of which I
have never since known. And felt
myself moving on. with conscious
ness OF leaving everything behind
Then I heard the sweetest music, and
it seemed that more than a thousand
harDs led in each part. accompanied by
G,yriais OF voices.
-i.:I the sensation of coming back to
life after I had been cut down was
just rs. painful as the first feeling Of
hanging It was acute torture. Every
nervesscemed to have {: pain Of its
own. My nose and fingers were seats
OF the most excruciadng agony. In
haitian hour the pain was all gone, but

AN HONEST ARTIST.

He Would Not Paint a Lie Even For
Napoleon.
There was no love lost between the
Emperor Louis Napoleon and his
cousin, Prince Napoleon, whom the
Parigians called "Plon Plon." The
prince used to make abusive speeches
against the emperor, which people
were only too ready to repeat to him
."Iet him alone" Louis Napoleon would
reply. "He Is too we'll known No
one would turn me out to place him on
the throne"
The emperor was correct, for no one
said a good word about "Plon Plon."
He was commonly believed to have
shown the white feather in the Crsmea
and never exposed himself where the
lead was falling. An English lady
who in her younger days mingled with
French society tells in her Foreign
Courts and Foreign Homes a story
as discreditable to Prince Napoleon as
it is honorable TO a French artist
While the artist was painting the
historical picture Of the battle Of the
Alma, which the emperor had ordered,
Prince Napoleon called at the painters
studio to make known to him the facts.
On leaving he said he wished the
prominent figure IN the battle to be
himself mounted on his white charger.
He sent the horse to the artist, so that
be could paint its exact portrait
When the picture was finished and IN
vftations were sent out for a private
rfew,"' the white charger wss seen, a
prominent figure IN the battle, but
without g rider.
On hearing Of this terrible omission
the prince sent an aid-de-camp to ask
the reason The honest artist said the
horse should remain II the prince
wished but no rider would be on 1t.
.Tell the prince / have never yet
painted ke." The hint was taken.
The prince ordered the horse to be
rubbed out.

WEIGHT OF A HORSE.
Bad Guesses Made by Men unskilled

In Horseflesh.
Many people, even among those who
frequently make use Of horses, have
little idea what an ordinary horse
weighs and would have much difficulty
to guess whether q given animal stand
ing before their eyes weighed 500 or
1900 pounds. Yet they would have
no such difficulty with man and prob
ably be able to guess. especially If they
were good Yankees, within ten OF twen-
ty pounds Of his weight. The govern
ments Of Europe have long been pur-
chasing and weighing horses for the
military service and transferring them
from carriage or draft employment to
the various branches Of cavalry and
artillery. The animals are ordinarily
assigned according to weight. The
French military authorities find that
an ordinary light carriage or riding
horse, such as In the United States
would be called q good little buggy
horse" weighs from 300 to 400 kilo-
crams-say from 500 to 800 pounds.
Such horses as these are assigned to
the light cavalry corps. The next
grade above, which in civil life passes
as coupe horse" OF carriage horse
Of medium weight, ranges in weight
I'd to 4s0 kilograms, about, 1850
pounds. This horse goes to help mount

Next come the fashionable coach

weigh from 500 to $50 Kilograms, or
from 1000 to nearly 1900 pounds.
These horses 60 to serve the purpose
Of drill for the cavalry belonging to
the reserve military forces. Above
these there are still two grades Of
heavy horses. The first are those used
for ordinary draft purposes and are
commonly found drawing the omni-
buses Of Paris where such vehicles
are still in use. These weigh from
100 to 1850 pounds. The heaviest
horses are the Clydesdales and Per-
cherons, which are oxen in size and
strength and which weigh from GOO to
300 and sometimes even up to. 800 klo-
grans-that is, from 1900 up to near
