Colonel Edward Gilliam, the Brainy and Brilliant Editor of the Reidsville Review, Writes a Breezy Letter. Toccoa, Ga., Decemter 3. 1895. Editor recorder: I have been vegetating for several weeks in this, the most scenic section of Georgia, not fur from the habitat of the Honorable Dink Botta, the protege of Honorable Hoke Smith, who, if I am not mistaken, fills some kind of a position iu the Cleveland Cabinet. At Gaines ville I met the Honorable W. J II. Ham, an old acquaintance, who has risen from the poverty and obscurity of a country news paper publisher to a proud posi tion as a great popular; lecturer, at which business he is making? a few wads. Why cannot Colonel Fairbrother go and do likewise? If the Colonel will prepare a disquisition on "Liquor: Its origin, taste, effect, after-effect, use and abuse," I will contract to furnish him a manager in the person of Colonel C F. King, of the St, Louis Republic, who will under take to chaperone him , arouud the continent But this is neither here nor there. At Gainsville I met General James Longstreet, deaf as a post, but, I understand, a gentleman who proved himself a holy terror during the late war. General Longstreet had just re turned from Philadelphia, where, like John Sherman, he has a book ot Recollections in press. , The General looked none the worse for recent wear, though the papers say he was wined, dined, feted and lionized in""the city of Brotherly Love" in such a way as to make such simple souls as Bill Fenn and Ben Franklin turn over in their graves ("souls" is written ad visedly). I notice that my very dear and able friend, Dr. Kings bury, (whose greatness I am glad to see the Recorder recognize in such a strong tribute to him) is agitated over Longstreet's forth coming book, fearing that it will in some way reflect upon the gentle and gracious memory of General Leethat Chevalier Bay ard and Sir Galahad combined. In answer to the apprehensions expressed along this line General Longstreet has entered lus dis claimer, and nothing remains now but to await the book. It may turn out that Sherman and Long street, almost at the end of their careers, may have the serenity of the evening of their lives dis turbed and come to realize what the Psalmist (or some other Scrip tural character) was driving at when he uttered the evident heart felt wish: "Oh, that mine enemy might write a book!" I have briefly taken in the ex position, and it is a good, big show for a Southern town like Atlanta. Of course it is not worth while for me to tell what I saw there.

But we can't tell. Since I have been out ou ; thi trip I see we have had another election and the democratic party, of course, has had a slump. The most distressing feature of ; the whole business 1 is that the able Constitution and the esteemed Journal insist on telling us how it all happened, and they are re joking over the slump as if it was a part victory. The New York Sun has sent Colonel Eli Perkins to Kentucky to stand in the after math and view the landscape o'er, informing its readers of the feeling there since Kentucky went wrong. Eli has been fortunate enough to secure an interview with Colonel Shelly, a gentleman of most picturesque profanity and great blasphemous ability. He blames Grover for the whole busi ness, Graver's friends claim the republican yictory as a vindica tion for the "fat joss," (with apol ogies to Atlanta ; Constitution.) The truth is this silver , business has mixed the party up, and, to gether with the slumps, is making it "groggy." The -silver people will have to break .their hold, it seems. At least, something must be done. Opinions' on - financial subjects must be withheld for e- vision. We democrats must get together. Tariff was the rock we split ou in '88 and lost the Presi dency.: Will it bSilver ia.96, history thus repeating . itself? There has been a great deal of playing for position on this ques tion by the politicians, some of them shifting their weight from the silver leg to the gold leg, and some risking nothing by advocat ing a safe, double-barreled, bi metallic currency. The members of the Cabinet have not been the only exumples of tergiversation in this rtiect before the country. If I am not mistaken I think my friend the Reverend Samuel Jones has been a little fickle about sil ver. In a conversation with him last spring it occurs to me I heard him express decided silver lean ings, declaring that he considered "Coin" unanswerable. Since then, I believe, he has rather taken the' other side of the controversy. I am glad to see from your pa lter that Ilillsboro is taking on new life. The acquisition of the Recorder will be a grsat help to the town. The shoe factory ought to prove a good industry. There are sovcral tanneries and leather factories between here and Atlan ta aud they are all loaded with orders. v" The Recorder has no more ardent admirer than myself. My regret is that I can't get more of it iu each issue. If the rules and slugs could be removed from be tween the editorial paragraphs it would give us more matter. Un loading the stuff would, also, and thore is no use loading it to tell that it emanates from the Fair brother family. I like the Re cordkr because it ia not hide bound, because it is broad and uu conventional in its treatment of subjects, because it has a snap and a twang about it which is u-ui-que. Differences don't count with me. What I want to see is a free press, fair play and a good fight. If a woman puts it up, why, all the better. Edward Gilliam.

IX DURHAM AND ORANGE. Tho Bonds of County Officials Ex aminod and Approved Ac aunts Audited and Allowed Resolutions concerning Mormon Elders Tho County Printing, . At the meeting of the commis sioners of Durham county the fol lowing bonds were given and ac cepted: John V. Riggsbee, sheriff, bond 173,000: B. W. Barbee, H. G. Herndon, G. A. Barbee, W. T. Neal, James Pi ikett, J. W. Bar bee, J. T. Womble, R. T; Hower- ton, H. N. Snow and the Fidelity and Deposit Co. sureties. Thomas J. Holloway, treasurer, bond $47,500; Fidelity and De posit Co., surety. W. J. Christian, clerk superior court, bond $15,000. W. W. Woods, register of deeds, bond $5,000. DeWilt Mangum, township con stable, gave $500. Among other things brought to their attention and which they ordered stopped at once,' was the lending of the county school houses to Mormon elders in which to hold their services. School trustees were notified that it must not oc cur again. ; : V ORANGE COUNTY. The board of commissioners met at Ilillsboro Monday, and closed the year's" business by settling with the county treasurer, exam ining and , approving bonds of county officials, auditing and al lowing accounts, etc. Thej meet ing was called to ? order at 10 o'clock and all business dispatched m short order. ' - The county printing ras given to the Orange County Observer, as usual, at, we understand, the legal rate, notwithstanding., the fact that the Recorder offered to do it for 30 per cent less and under a guarantee of double the circulation in Orange county. The Recorder's bid was in by 11 o'clock, but a polite note from the clerk informs us that the printing was given out before that time, which goes to prove that our county commissioners, at least, have caught some of the get-up- and-get spirit which has now struck the town, and took time by the forelock, as it were. Just how this will strike the tax payers of Orange County, who pay for the printing and who also pay the commissioners for a day's work, remains to be seen. Have they any right to let personal favorit ism interfere in their administra tion ofpublic affairs? Have they any right to needlessly squander the people's money? Let the taxpayers answer. "Saved My Life" A VITMArt STORY.
