Barlow, Wilson, Primrose q
Vests Ministries opened last night
to o jammed house at Turnverein
Hall. After the jejune and lifeless
performance of the real Georgia
niggers, with their dignity and
conceit oozing out of every pore and
spelling the fun, 1t was delicious to
sit under the drippings of this tall
ented combination. The artificial
nigger is an intellectual creation
utterly beyond the scope of the
primitive Ethiopian nature. The
nigger as presented by b. w. P. d

plantation article idealized and ex-
tended. We know not by what
special Providence of God Wilson
is made so excruciatingly funny,
but the fact Is that he gave us a
"stitch." He does as complete a
line of negro buffo business as any
man who has ever walked the
boards. The whole combination is
notably gifted, but Wilson is rev.
elation in the burlesque line. The
author of the Deserted Village has
expressed q wonder how one small
head could contain all o certain
schoolmaster knew, and it is mar
vel to us how one small body can
contain the dynamic force of fun
which pervades this individual.

voices In the troupe, particularly the
mellow tenor of Kelley, the basso

mirth provoking in the extreme.
The song and dance business is not
ably graceful and thorough. The
variety feature of the show, as en-
braced in the character eXtrava-
ganzas of Wilson and Barlow, is
alone worth the price of admission.

Every editor loves to have his


friends and particularly his eeders,


to call on him. They belong to the


same family, as it were. But when


YOU call to see the editor don't stay


too long. Editors are usually very


busy in business hours, Ifyou lave


a suggestion to make or news to


communicate, state it in the fewest


words possible. Don't offer any ex-


cuses or indulge in long preface to


what you have to say. Blurt it right


out; tell the editor you wish him well ,


and bid him good day. Editors dote


have calls from them. Don't afgnaa gnaaa


with him. Don't try to do 1t. He's
got no time for argument while at
work. What you write to an editor
for publication, make it short; boil
it down. Pitch right into the middle
Of your subject, and be sure to stop
writing when you are through. Edi-
tors like something fresh and original
in the way of communications, and
they are especially fond of news.
But the editor must be the judge of
what is whorthy of publication. OF
course every writer thinks his own
production the best, just as every
mother thinks her baby the prettiest
that ever was born. But the editor
may be so stupid as to have differ
ent opinion. If so, it cannot be
helped. Don't get hufy about it,
don't try to argue him out of his no.
ton. If he is too stupid to appreci-
ate a good thing, you can't expect to
remedy his dullness. You may think
you are great deal smarter than the
editor, and may be you are; but the
editor is responsible for the publica-
ion, and you are not. There is no
.lass of men so anxious to please
of the people as editors are.
There is no class so covetous of the
rood opinion of others. 1t is well to
that fact.

ifiohtn oi tne third year of the reign
of King Phelps, the warrior, in the
city of Mexico according to the law
of their forefathers that the time
drew nigh when the people should
call upon the wise men, the scribes
and counselors and select such as
should rule over the people, even the
whole people, and expound unto them
the law, and make straight the crook
ed paths and bring unto subjection
the stubborn hearted and stiff necked.
Then Richard, of Concord, of the
tribe of Fowler, rose up and pro-
claimed unto the people, Lo, these
many years have ye done me homage
and now that my cup of joy runneth
over. will retire unto my own vine
and fig tree, even to the bosom of
mine own family; For / would no
longer sit in the seat of the scornful
or stand in the way of the ungodly,
for the dead-beat crieth Justify against
me, and his wrath waxeth hot, and
ye shall call upon another on whom my
mantle shall fall, to rule over you,
and your council. Then straight
way there cometh up a mighty cry,
even from many mouths, saying: So
am the man, and 1 only am worthy
to set in the seat of Richard or stand
in the shoes of Fowler, the high chief
mayor of Mexico; And there arose
no small tumult who should set in
the seat of Richard and rule over the
wise men, even the council.


Then one William, of the tribe of
Pollock, grinder of wheat and corn,
circulated freely among the people
saying unto them, as he taketh them
gently by the hand: Hath it not been
said unto you, by they of old, ye
shall not live by bread alone? pray
thee, therefore, that the scripture be
fulfilled, that you give unto me this
office, for my heart sickeneth at toll
taking and the grinding is low. Then
also boldly cometh one among us
nick-named Dock, of the tribe of fGra-
ham, a portrayer of types and shad-
ows, and one skilled in tie art of
daguerrean, saying: So I am he who
will bring order out of confusion and
cause great gain to come unto your
city and peace and prosperity, and
happiness to your homes pray thee
therefore, let me set in the seat of
Richard rather than this Pollock who
doeth well at grinding corn. Then q
voice sweeter than that Of the maiden
and gentler than the evening Zephyrs
whispereth unto us: Lo, / am the
man who only am worthy to follow in
the footsteps of Richard, fer l, even
L, of the tribe of Bassford, longeth
for the office and panteth for the
honor as doth the tramp who hath
not where to lay his head. So these
many years have / not strove to feed
the people and make glad the hungry
who payeth for what he geteth; So /
pray thee give unto me this office, for
as many as were the frogs in Egypt
are they who sell groceries in Mexico.
Now, therefore, that may have hon
or above them all and my name be
lorg in the earth, pray thee, there
fore, give me this office which Rich
ard retuseth longer to hold. Thus
endeth the first chapter.

WASHINGTON, August ll.--Post master General Key says there is no doubt that the plan of the compt6- mise to pay fifty cents on the dollar is defeated. When asked what he thought the real significance of the recent election vas, he stated that 1t clearly indicated that a majority of tie people of the state were in favor Of absolute repudiation. Judge Key says that the position of Gov Marks on tEis question is not very clearly defined, but that it Is generally uni derstood that he is low tax man, which means repudlation. As there was $lO00O interest due to January last and the annual interest due in January last and that the annual interest amounts to $l ,200,000, and that q continuance of the present rate of taxation could be construed to mean nothing else than repudis ton.

The Georgia Legislature is hold ing a summer session and transact ing business. One bill, which is likely to become a law, might be passed in other States with the best effect. It provides that when a murder Is committed, every cause before the courts shall give way to that, and it shall be at once tried. If appealed, the Supreme Court shall hear and decide the appeal at once. By this law murderer can be tried, appealed, sentenced and hanged within thirty days after the killing. -El Dorado Eagle.

 Such laws would do much for the suppression of crime. Whenever men know that there is an almost absolute certainty that they will hang for murder within thirty days murder will not be so common. While there is the chance for post poncments, continuances and the everlasting "writs of error," the crime will still go on.--Little Rock Democrat.
