TOO MUCH CONFIDENCE.
It lias gotten to be such a common oc
currence for young girls to be entrapped
into a matrimonial alliance which brings
them only shame and mortification, that
something should he done to save them
from the embarrassing position into
which so many have fallen of late. The
punishment for the crime is only a short
term in the penitentiary, and too often
the scoundrel who has blighted the
whole life of an innocent girl is let off
with a light sentence and is soon ready
to repeat his crime. If the punishment
was dealt out iu large doses it would de
ter a great many from venturing into a
second matrimonial alliance when ther
is already one in existence.
.The girls, too, could often protect
themselves by a little investigation into
the past history of the man who cutties
to them a perfect stranger, and seeks to
inveigk\theni into an alliance which lie
knows is illegal. An honest man would
readily give references where his past
history could he obtained and it would
not embarass him at all for the girl to
desire to know something «»f -him before
trusting her future happiness into his
keeping, and any one who would refuse
to give the necessary references should
be shunned as a viper.
The case of Miss Leila Morton, a pure
and innocent country girl of our neigh
boring county, Stewart, is one in which
a little investigation would have de
veloped facts which would have saved
her from her present mortifying posi
tion. She met Spencer Owen and mar
ried him without knowing anything con
cerning his past history and only the
ue*t day after the marriage the facts of
his previous marriage and the existence
of his wife and .Jix children in a county
no further off than Putnam, came to
light, and the sheriff was soon on his
track as a bigamist. These facts could
have been developed the day previous
as easily as the day after the marriage,
but no attempt was made until it was
too late to save the girl from her present
unfortunate position.
Owens is now behind the bars in the
Lumpkin jail, and bis victim is iu An
niston, Ala., where she will probably re
main rattier than return to her own
home under the present ernharassing
circumstances.
Girls place too much confidence in
men of whom they know compaartively
nothing, and the sad fate of this young
girl should he a warning to others.
THE CRUCIBLE AND THE PURE GOLD.
Perhaps the discussion and dissension
now rife in the churches will prove a
blessing in disguise.
Christianity was born in strife and
bloodshed, and it has lived and thiived
upon persecution.
The apostles were dispersed by perse
cution over the whtrte known world, hut
it was like scattering fire, for they
kindled a blaze of religious fervor where-
ever they went. And then they fell out
among themselves. Paul and Barnabas,
after laboring together in season and
out of season, fell out at Antioch, and
the contention was so sharp between

TtlKY DREAD THK ELECTRIC LIGHT.
The simple people lit some of the in
terior provinces of Germany and Austria
are reported as makiM a stout tight
against the electric l^ht. The tarnal
thing seems to them uncanny, awful and
omiuous. They know' what*a penny dip
means and have lighted their way to the
giave with it for many generations.
But this carbon burner, with its bright,
supernatural fiash, its occasional crack
ling, as though there were imps in the
air and they all had the colic—well, it’s
too much for tlieir+equanimity, and if a
protest doesn’t work it is possible that
they may resort to violence.
Modern science and modern improve
ments are always in a tight of that kind.
When stoam was introduced there were
a food many wiseacres who shivered at
the sacrilege itfid predicted disaster.
They had to surrender, however, and
these good folk will do the same after a
while am! wonder why they were silly
enough to oppose the innovation.
The temperament of Americans is
rather different. We don’t like old
things or old ways.. On the contrary,
we arc eagerly interested in telephones,
telegraphs, kindtographs, microphones,
phonographs and all the other “phones”
and “graphs” which arc pecking their
way through the.shell. We are in an
awful hurry for some one to Invent a

So this discussion at the present day

EVOLUTION OF LAWN TENNIS.
Is lawn tennis on the decline? Will It
finally die out altogether like croquet?
We hardly think so. There is more
real sport in the former than In the lat
ter. Then lawn tennis is not such a dan-
derous game as croquet.
If you get mad with your opponent in
croquet you can whack him over the
head with your mallet, but in lawn ten
nis you can’t get at him before he has a
chance to run, because there is a netting
between the two opposing sides. But
this netting is not very high, and f n act
ive man can spring over it by taking a
running start.
And just here we see the only defect
in the game of lawn tennis. This net
ting should be at least 10) feet high, so
that an irate player could not get over
it, and then the balls could not get over
either. This would prevent much trou
ble in “serving” and “receiving.” It
would do away with a vast deal of rmi
lling, and striking, and hollering, and
hurrahing, and Sussing.
The prevention'of cussing alone would
be a great saving-to morals. Why, the
writer of his personal know ledge knows
of a young lady who played her first
game of Jawn tennis, and when she
struck at the ball and missed it and
threw her arm out of joint and twisted
her ankle she exclaimed, “Thunder 1”
Just think what she will say when ahe
plays her hundred!game. In tire pro
cess of evolution her “thunder” will be
come something horrible to think of. It
will bo so full of fire and brimstone that
it will scorch all the trees for a mile
around. Her expletive may develop
into “Confound it, Selina,” or more
terrible still, into ‘Doggone it, Helen
Blazes?”
cheated, and another of the party was
called on to explain why, since the rev
elation had come to his ears, he had
continued to address Sir William as
“Dear Bill ?”
To our backwoodsy and plebeian view
this looks very much like the same sort
of principle that makes the train robber
“tote square with his pals.”
But no such view seems to prevail in
England. The only disgrace thought of
over there attaches to the man who
cheated.
The Kansas City Star says: “A short
spell of dry weather is greatly needed

rains in that region and in Kansas have
interfered with the harvesting of the

has been broken here, perhaps we will

Savs the Globe-Democrat: '“The Re
publican party needs only two things to
make its success in 1802 absolutely cer
tain, to-wit: the election of Mills to the
peakership and the nomination of
Cleveland for the presidency.” Those
are two things that are doomed never to
happen. Mills will never be speaker,
Cleveland will not be nominated and the
republican party will be snowed under.
A rig Irish fund lies in the banks of
I’aiis, which neither faction of the Irish
party can touch, and which is likely to
lie there for some time. It would seem

to use wiiat it has already collected.
A MONUMENT FOR THK HEROES.
The College of Charleston asks-all the
southern universities and colleges to co
operate with’]it,in forming an association
to raise funds to be applied to the erec
tion of a monument to perpetuate the
fame and memory of Jefferson Davis,
Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson and
our Confederate dead in general.
In order to arrange some definite mode
of procedure, it is prouosed that a con
vention of southern universities and
colleges be held in Charleston at such
time during the coming fall, as may be
found most expedient .and convenient,
and that an inter state oratorical contest
be made a feature of the proposed con
vention, each institution being repre
sented by one contestant.
Every southern university and college
is earnestly requested to send a repre
sentation to the convention, whether
such delegation takes part in the con
test or not.
The specific object of the convention
is explained in an open letter to he
the manifestation and exhibition of the
“grateful regard of the younger genera
tion for the pure and ideal characters, as
well , as the splendid emprise and
achievements of those heroes who adorn
ed and illustrated the history of the
Confederate States.”
The purpose is laudable and The
Times-Recordkr wishes the movement
success.
Never before in the history, of this
country has there been such a campaign
of education as that now rolling along
from Maine to California and from the
unsalted lakes of the north to the saline
waters of the Gulf of Mexico. It is not
a campaign by the word of mouth so
much as by the weightier power of the
pen. The people are reading and think
ing as they never read or thou -lit before.
The best minds of the country are de
voting themselves to the noble task of
enlighteniug the plain people upon the
great economic and industrial questions
of the day, and from the newspapers
and magazines there pours forth a migh
ty tlood of earnest and intelligent dis
cussions on the vital issues which have
sprung up in these recent times. Out of
all this study good will result. Deraa-
goglsm and trickery and dishonesty
will be relegated to oblivion and the
happy era of contentment and prosperity
will come to stav and bless.
I'rof. Shaleu, of Howard university,
has made a discovery in a Tennessee

JOHN BROWN’S BOY.
The newspapers are printing the fol
lowing interesting statement:
Jason Brown stood with uncovered head at
General Grant’s tomb, and said to a friend:
“General Grant finished the work that my
fattier began. The sons and daughters and
grandchildren of John Brown have no feel
ing** of hostility against the aiuth nor the
peonle of the south. L»t the p*st be buried
beside the graves of Abraham Lincoln.
Ulysses 8, Grant and John Brown.”
It is of much importance that Jason
“stood with uncovered head.” It is in
teresting to know ghat he stood at all;
and most intensely interesting to know
that Grant finished John Brown's
work.
The great heart of the south leaps up
with feelings of deepest thankfulness at
the knowledge that the descendants of
John Brow n “have no feelings of hos-
ti’ity against the south nor the people
of the south.”
And another thrilling thing is Jason’s
call upon the animate wdrld to “let the
past he buried beside the graves of Lin
coln, Ulysses b. Grant and John Brown.”
True, a self-.respecting past might object
to being buried alongside the vulgar
fanatic, who lost his neck iu search of
notoriety in the vicinity of a certain old
ferry on the Potomac river; but that
doesn’t make any special difference so
long as the past is buried.
.Seriously, Jason Brown ought to go
back to the Pacific slope aud bold bis
tongue; and he might as well take back
with him the knowledge that the south
doesn’t care two straw's what the “sons
and daughters and grandchildren of
John Brown” may think of this section
of the American Union. It is time for
Jason Brown and the whole world to un
derstand that the south is not on her
knees prayiug for pardon on account of
any of her deeds of the past. For ten
years and more the south has been the
conserving force of the Union. The
south is the Union, gentlemen. There!
DR. GAILOK AND THK BISHOPRIC.
We notice if disposition to criticize Dr.
Gailor for declining the bishopric of
Georgia tendered to him by the Episco
pal church of this state. Such criticism
is un-Christian and unjust. Dr. Gailor
did not seek the office. It is not cus
tomary for any one, before a position is
offered him, to say that he w ill decline
it. Dr. Gailor was believed to possess
the qualities which the successor of the
grand Beckwith should have. The Dio-
cesean convention, after a special pray
erful meditation, elected the chancellor
of Sewanee University. In acknowledg
ing the news of in's election, Dr. Gailor
said that he would pray for divine
guidance. Who doubts that he has
spent the intervening time wrestling
with the angel of the Lord at the Ten
nessee Petiiel?
Dr. Gailor may see that he can do
more good in his present field than he
could do presiding over the church in
Georgia. He is under no obligation,
save to his Master, to accept the bishop
ric of this state.
Bishop Beckwith hold his electlou
under advisement for a year before ac
cepting, and he was tw ice waited upon
by committees. Dr. Gailor seftmed to
be the man for this.higti place, but if be
cannot take it some one will be found
who may accomplish more than the
gifted young chancellor could.
Atlanta, Georgia, is the most unique
spot on the universe. She hadn’t got
through with Brother Culpepper before
she took up the women. One branch
of that blessed community says the
women shall not preach, w hile the other
says they shall, if they want to, and it’s
nobody’s business to stop them. Brother
Hawthorne has Hopped, and now affirms
that so long as lie is pastor of the First
Baptist, no female propagandist shall
desecrate his pulpit. Some forty or lifty
of his thousand members feel as he does
and they passed a reablution. Such lack
of gallantry has aroused the dander of
Atlanta’s Christian Temperance Union,
causing these dear sisters to take h baud
in making resolutions and to pat Brother
Abbott on the back. Be quiet,

THROWING STONES AT A HUBfBUq
A Mr. Schweinfurtb, who lives on the
other side of the Mississippi, has re-
centiy gained considerable notoriety by
declaring himself to be the Christ. He
is as odd a human stick as ever refused
to lie straight, but there is not much
doubt that he is as honest as he is * e !f.
deluded.
Such people do very little harm if
they are let alone. They gabble all day
like a creaking wind mill, and a few-
fools may accept their pretensions as
true. But what of it? It is
big
enough world to hold both wise men
and crarks. Moreover, that immortal
instrument on which our government U
founded, the constitution, guarantees to
every one the right to make an idiot of
himself if it pleases him to do so.
The good folks iu his neighborhood,
however, are slmpljr wild about the mat
ter. Not Satisfied with laughing at the
fellow, they concluded the other night

thinking in that way to make the pun.
ishment fit the crime. They have grown
tired of his chatter, have resorted to
persecution, stone throwing, mud throw,
ing, booting, howling and a large variety
of threats, all of which are both foolish
and stupid. To tar and feather such a
man is to increase his influence. Noth
ing helps an impostor so much as to i
make a martyr of him. The world is
made that way aud it can’t be unmade
by a rabble.
Gentlemen, let Schweinfurtb severely
and agonizingly alone. Give him full
swing and place your dependence on
that common sense w hich teaches us
that the best means of getting rid of a
creature of that kind is to give him all
the rope he wants.
THE ORIGINAL-PACKAGE CASKS.
The United States supreme court haul
again decided what may be called the]
law of original packages.
Its first decision was that the law of I
Iowa prohibiting the sale of liquor was I
an interference with the freedom of I
commerce between the states. This I
was looked upon as a very serious at-1
tack upon the right of a state to exer
cise its own police powers. One mayor
may not believe in prohibitory legisla-1
tion, but until the announcement of the!
original-package decision it had always I
been assumed that each state might de-1
termine the question for itself. The I
supreme court, in deciding that an Iowa I
saloon-keeper might sell the liquor that I
he bought in another state in the origi-J"
nal package in which It came, greatly]
changed, if it did not nullify, the state]
statute.
Congress came to the relief of the I
states and enacted a law providing that!
any original package brought into the I
state shall be subject to the state laws]
regulating the sale of similar property]
manufactured within the state. And!
this statute has beeu declared to be con-j
stitutional.
The law is now' what nearly all lawyers]
thought it was before the first decision,J
but it lias beep made so by legislation—
a dangerous method of preserving oui
constitutional limitations.
The extension of the four-and-a-lialf|
