Atlanta JournaL In the swing ft the circle, I find my elf with three days' rest at Catoota Springs, where my wife is spending the summer. This is certainly an oasis to the traveler, and a God-send to a tired man. The evening of July 10th I start on my rounds again. I am not surprised at the Jump in cotton to 10 cents. I do not think the prospect for the cotton crop all over the south was ever poorer tan it is at thitime? Bain, rain, rain everywhere and every when. The crops of all kinds never needed sunshine and cultivation so much. This is true of cotton, how ever, that it promises more and does lees, and promises less and does more than any other crop in this ootmtry But the next thirty days will tell the tale pretty accurately. The winter wheat crop is in bad shape. It has been harvested, but the continuous rain has caused much sprouting in the shocks. Very little threshing has been done on account of . the weather, and yet in spite of all these things the world moves on. Trade and traffic are buy ing and selling, building and repairing, traveling and trading, seemingly with out any reference to what is to be. When a fellow is going west, it looks like everything is going west; when he is going east, it seemi like the tide is set that way, and when he starts south, it looks like they are all coming south. I notice from the Atlanta papers that the fight among the gubernatorial can didatess waxes hotter and, thicker, and the candidates are talking about each other scandalous. That's one reason why, when I run for any offioe, I am a candidate limited. I would not run for anything two years. I am sure I would wind up with reputation ruined and character damaged, constitution worn out, and by-laws exhausted. The fellow who started to run for an offioe, and went to his mother and said : "Mother, I am thinking about being a candidate and I want you to be honest with me. Have I ever done anything wrong from my cradle up to this hour?" and she said: "No, son, yours has been a model life. No shadows or clouds rest over your life and character." Then he said: "I will consent to run." But before he had been in the race three weeks they had charged and proven that he was a defaulter, a reprobate and altogether a very bad egg. He with drew from the race a sadder and a wiser man. This much a candidate may nly upon, that if he has ever done any thing that he don't want known it will come out on him in a race for office, and if there is anything bad that he hasn't done, that will be brought out too. But after all, it doesn't do much damage or barm to a fellow to be ta booed and traduced. One part of the world has lied on the other part of the world, until neither part believes the lies they hear. ' It's tan to the boys, but death to the frogs. Bo far as know all the candidates fof governor in Oeorgia are reputable, honorable, up right men. But I do say it, with the facts before me, that there is a great deal more in the personality and char acter of the candidate than there is in the platform on which he stands. A true, Drave, good man will make a good governor, a good legislator, I good Judge, good sheriff, a go d any thing. No man who is privately or politically corrupt is personally pure and no man who is personally pure will ever be politically corrupt. Wisconsin, Indiana and Missouri have model governors, who are giants in moral strength and ethical force. Governor Folk, of Missouri, a solid, sensible, clean man, who is determined to enfore the laws of the state, is bring ing forth the plaudits of the good peo ple, and raising a howl among the law- from one end of the state to the hither. The people in Missouri are lin ing up, good citizens on the one side, and the lawbreakers on the other, and in the final round up the world will see hat there are three to one on the side of law and order andjiht. The law- gang do the howling and make the noise. One bad man checked in hit lawlessness will make more noise than five hundred good citiiens, but the si lent force is the stronger always. Wt need a goVernor to enforce laws a thous and times more than we need a legisla ture to make new laws or to amend old laws. To the making of laws thera. is no end. This is the day and time when people Remand the enforcement of law. If we have laws we don't en. foroe we have cornmoni im set up. If we have a law we can't enforce, then an archy is already inaugurated, and the next and only step left to ns is nihilism. Nihilism has got to seed in Bussia, and the deplorable condition of that country cannot be uttered in words. No discipline in army or navy, no power in executive or administrative forces to govern and regulate the peo AH ple. Japan is iuit the opposite. Law and order everywhere prevails in Japan, Discipline in her army and navy, so briety and integrity and patriotism all sides; henowe see the little Japs marching victorious, and the Bussians defeated in every battle on land and sea. The right is the only thing tbJT come to stay. With a great executive foroe any nfnion or any state which ex. scutes law is thsjmightiegt force known among men.' A lax, loose administra tion of law will breed anything that tends to overthrow order and under mine government. This great country is awakening out of its lethargy, and sooner or later the fight is going to be for the election of a great personality who stands for something and against something in every state and city. The reform movement in Oeorgia will be organized and ready for busi ness when the general elections come on eighteen months hence. AU this agitation and stir will do good. Some will suffer, but the great manes will benefited, and out of all this fuss and feathers, crimination and recrimina tion of persons and candidates there will come a clearer, vision to the peopli and a more determined purpose on their part to put men in offioe who will do their duty and keep the oath which they take when they are inaugurated. Governor Hanley, of Indiana, spoke at the Terre Haute Chautauqua the day before I was there this week, and it was a masterful appeal in the interest of law and order and moral uprightness, He is very popular in his state and find that when I make reference to his name in Indiana or of Folk's in Mis soun, or La toilette's in Wisconsin, the people cheer to the echo. They have an immense grip on the masses of these states and when the test is made, the great majority will stand up and be faithful officials. If the extraneous circumstances and bad environments oould be removed, I am sure courts, legislatures and executives of all states would not only be freer to act and much truer to right when they do act. Agitation is what the devil and bad men don't want. But truth and right and decency is always helped by agita tion. Yours truly, Bam P. Jones. P. 8. And the legislature did resolve an invitation to my wife's husband to address them and so I will proceed to do so to the entire satisfaction of my' self. 8. P. J Made a mistake Both Tlaaew. Miss Helen Miller Gould was address inga class of young women on the sub ject of tact. What," said Miss Gould, "is more unpleasant, more' annoying, than tact lessness ? Let me tell you about a su premely tactless man : . "This young man went with his wife to a dinner party. He took down to dinner a very charming woman, but the first course had hardly begun, when to his wife's dismay, he jumped up from his seat beside the woman, and making a circuit of the table, took a vacant chair beside a young matron, "After the dinner, as the man's wife entered her carriage to drive home she said impatiently: " 'I bave been dying all the evening to ask you why, after taking her down to dinner, you deserted Mrs. A fcr Mrs. B?' " 'Well,' said the husband, 'with my back to that fire, I'd have caught my death.' 'Well,' said the wife, 'I hope you told Mrs. A that.' 'No,' said the husband, I didn't. I told Mrs. B, though.' " Rlaeeale Pleule.

People Some Plain Train. On a recent Sunday in Atlanta Bev. A. J. Davis, D. D a oolored presiding elder, made a straight talk to a large congregation of colored people. Fol lowing is an extract from hit sermon as printed in the newspapers: "The negro is a lawless character without role in the home, therefore he can have but little in his Church and society. His respect for law and order comes from a sense of fear of punish' ment or hope of reward "I need not say there are exceptions; I need not say there are goqd men and women in the race, but they are in the hopeless minority. This j! noj to be seen in the city of Atlanta, but anywhere you meet this reckless, Independent, know-all young negro that neither respects the rights of man on earth nor the authority of God in Heaven. "This is my 30th year as a preacher, 1 am 61 yean old. My word for it, I have seen both the old and the new negro. The tactics and procedure of the new negro is destroying him. His reckless disregard for moral purity, a disposition to ignore the church and the gospel, a love for a life of ease and pleasure, ignorant and malicious disre gard for the law of God and rights of men that is daily being practiced by the majority of the race, convince me beyond doubt that the negro is a lawless being, and he is a liar if he says he is not. "The negro preacher must counte nance wrong living, wrong action and almost endorse crime to be permitted to preach to this new negro. For in the majority of cases it is. pecuniary consid eration, it is what will become of me if the people object to wht I say, and if the presiding elder and bishop do not endorse my position, and too often he preaches because it's the biggest thing he can do and do the least work that pays. Fully one-ball of the negro preachers should be out upon the farms where they can best serve the people in their day and generation, The Church is ruined with drunk ards and debased character! who live in bar rooms and sneak up and down al leys and streets sll night, and oome in the church and take the front seats. 'Good women and men must take a back seat that jbese scoundrels and strumpets may air their voice and shame in the eyes of the public. "Too often the amen corners are a party to this shams and disgrace "AU honor to the grand men and women who are pushing forward the work of Christian education, but educa tion without character and those tials that make people upright and good make the bad more formidable foes than ever. "A decent preacher is denounced if he attempts to advise and instruct as it relates to the inner lite and plead for chastity of women and the purity in the life and" thought of men. "It is not the white man's prejudice, lynching! or mistreatment of the negro that will destroy him half as fast as his bad conduct and habits and love of immorality. . An Uaasaal Dsmsgi aulb Union. Republican. Nothing is surprising in the. way of damage suits now, but here is one in Greensboro that is unusual. Boms time ago Mrs. Steed undertook to polish her stove while it was warm. There was benzine in the polish and when it was applied to the stove there was a flash which resulted in Mrs. Steed be ing burned. In a suit tor 15,000 dam ages in tbe recent term et uuiuord court, Mrs. Steed lost her case.

I was informed a few days ago, by Deputy Sheriff J. L. Matheny, that there has not been a prisoner in the county Jail since the March term of court. This it a great record for any eonnty to make and one of which every good dtisen should be proud, for it I arcues a great dial for the law and order of our county. If women weren't tactful many would I never get a hearing. STRAlel MORTGAGES AND EDUCATION. Southern Farm Magazine. I heard of a woman not long ago, the wifrof a baker in a small town, who n hor husband to put a mortgage on their home to And the daughter to the State Normal. It is a simple little town home, and while it might enable them to secure money enough to send the daughter to school, their home would not fully belong to them with a mortgage on it. Mothers too ambitious for their children are more than a few? and will deliberately allow such things to take place and be the cause of the husband growing discouraged, and it is a long upshill pull to make any head way when there is interest to be paid on a mortgage. If any persons on i earia neea to Keep watcn oi me pocxet- i . i- j , ... . . book and know how they stand with the world it is the wives of the farmers. They cannot spend haphazard. Let the daughter wear a dress two years if it must be, but don't mortgage your farm to get something which is not ab solutely necessary, and a normal school education is not to be classed with ab solute necessities. This daughter might better have spent her time in her father's bakery perfecting herself in the art of bread-making. If that girl is bound to have a Normal education she will get it herself and keep the mort gage off her parents' home. Such are thoughtless acts and lead to but one end as a rule to poverty, destitution, unrest and misery to the whole family. A New Kind of Swindle, New York Sun. An unopened letter in a John street chop house has aroused the interest of the customers. A few days ago a stran ger hurried up to the cashier. He took out a letter bearing a special delivery stamp. "This letter is addressed to me," he said, "and it has money in it. But I don't want to open it. You lend me a little on it and I'll leave it with you s collateral. Astonishing as the proposition was, the cashier was so impressed by the honesty of the man's appearance that he. did not laugh. "I tell you that envelope has money in it," the man repeated; "more than I want from you. You let me have 10 and take the envelope." The cashier thinks he must have been hypnotized. At all events he gave the man the money. "I'll be in to-morrow to pay it," the man said, as he handed over the en velope. In bis drawer the cashier keeps the envelope. The man has not returned rhe cashier cannot open the letter. addressed as it is to another, without ''J'0 himle" Pea to Probable arrest. 3o he can only keep the collateral as a souvenir.
