The much quoted campaigner of
Georgia Ham, not the son of Noah,
bat plain-spoken Ham of the
Cracker State is about to Bee his
f avorite term, "Snollygoater," prove
uii alibi. Since it has been - an
nouDced that this word is to get
i n to the dictionary, the authorof it
rD beinr leciited with the. view of
placing the honors. ,
Many have regarded Ham the
daddy of the word ; b jitlus is chal-
It-Qffed bv those better read and
hsard. Different newspaper corres-
londenta have thrown light on the
sublet each having a different
coiner of the word.
Perhaps the best authority is At
torney Theodore T Kluttz, of Salis
bury. He writes the Charlotte Ob
; server a card, in which he recalls
the fact that Gen. James Madison
L;ach used "Snollygoster" at least
twenty years before 1892, when Ham
iaa.de hia ran on it. Speaking of
Gen. Leach, Mr, Kluttz says :
"He was wont to speak of certain
clasaes of the population, as divided
into Snollygosters, Swashbucklers,
Jo -Bankers, and Horse-Eaters.
If, as stated, the first named word
is about to go into the recognized
vocabulary of Americanisms, the
distinguished gentleman above
natm d should not be cheated out of
the credit of its parentage, or at
least, of its long and populur use,"
We remember the use of it as
early aa 1888 the late Col. J as. W
Long having used the word, "Snolly
goster,,, in our presence and we re
.tncmber the feeling it produced; but
Col. Long did not pose as the author.
All this i3 right the word hasa
musical, rifle-shot sound about it,
but aside from this it is a mighty
poor word. If, however, it is to get
into the dictionary, let us see that
North Carolina gets the credit of the ;
birth of the coiner of Snollygoster.
That's the idea!
; A Georgia woman has contrived a
very cunning device to prevent being
annoyed by her husband s snoring.
She has a mask fitted up with a
tube attachment, which passes
through a hole in the floor into the
basement, and when ' hubby starts
the. octave she slips the mask oer
his face. dexterously jaecurea it, and
then goes off into dreamland herself,
while, the rats in the baaement
scamper away from the approach
cyclone. Lovely woman! ' She not
only cor trois her hubby in' wakeful
hours but boases him in dreamland,
If the hubby -would . die , suddenly
aod wake up ih;the next world har
nessed in such a paraphanalia as that
he would frighten his new com-
panions. : ?
It was reported, that 00a. were

JVDGE AUK-N G.TUUK5I1N DEAD.
On Thursday at 1:30 Ex-Senator
Allea G Thurman, the Old Koman,
of Ohio, died at his home in Column
bus. He was a conspicuous figure
in American affairs for years. Con
spicuous for his honesty,' frankness
and great ability,
Governor McKinley, of Ohio, upon
hearing the news of Judge Thur
man's death, issued a proclamation,
which marJss the Governor a broad
minded, ja3t mm. The Governor
said.: : -.:
Ohio has lost one of its noblest
J iist as we told you : that Dur
ham hog did not weigh 1200 pounds.
There are more liea about ages and
weights of hogs and prophetic lies
about them, than any other one thing
not excepting even the work of a
U,v
modern eyanelist.
It is announced that Ex-President
Harrison is to marry his dead wife's
niece, who is a widow. In this case
there will be difficulty in tracing the
relationship of he children. Really
women must bs Bcarce near Harrison
or else he's fond of the stock. ,
Boston mark you, Boston, the
hub of everythingis an oasis Jn
our political record. She's gone
Democratic wholly, entirely and
completely. Glad news, this: To
see one place showing its senses.
The floating ot banners, tho beat
ing of drums and the tramp of many
thousands in martial array may not
convert & single soul. : Some mew
methods of Christian work may .yet
prove a snare; Christian, Advocate.
