Slogan of the ring campaign: Heaps abuse upon Hoke Smith and dismiss everything but the issues. And the Constitution can't hear the “comeback'' calls Howell sup porters in western Georgia are Hooding Dick Russell with. When that howling crowd, com posed of “General’’ Arrington, greeted Slick Dick at the depot last Wednesday morning, the for lorn candidate impiired in patliet ic t<mes, “Is this Newnan!” It was a killing frost all l ight — and it withered the expectations of j the Coweta Howell-Russell con 1 Liugent. The News alludes to that vast and enthusiastic reception tendered Slick Dick last Wcdiics du.\. There is plenty of time for Dick Russell to deliver ten more speeches in Coweta county I adore August 22d, and Dick's Howell supporters here w ill liml that more than ten will Is 1 necessary to change Coweta from lloke Smith to Slick I >ick. The call for Slick Dick torcturii tit Coweta was extremely urgent. I’iior Dick!

EARTH’S LATENT POWER. Last Wednesday, after the ini tial pages of Tin* News hail been printed, the Western and Atlantic Itailroad committee of the I louse reported adversely on the McHen ry bill to lease the Stale’s road for a period of sixty years after the expiration of the present lease. This settles this great (piestion for the present; bat the people of Heorgin may Is* sure that the’Tuil- load monopoly” will soon return to the attack and make another ef fort to retain control of this prop orty. The Atlanta t'oustitnlion Inis' made valiant efforts to extract hi- la lily from its present gloomy and unpromising campaign by print ing what it terms “come Imck” ed itorials and cartoons. These are tired at Hoke Smith every time lie [ makes a second speech in a county previously visited. Now, why! doesn't the<'oustilulion shoot some “came lack” ammunition at Dick Russell! Is it liccausc Dick is one ' ol Howell's assistant candidates! Itusscll made his tenth speech in I Ooweta county Wednesday and j Itis third speech in Newnan. lie has H|>okeii ten or tiftfsm times in Heat'd county, twelve times in Harroll county, and is billed to make four more s|HHs*hos in Cm-, roll. The Constitution closes its] eyes to Plain Dick’s antics liccausc i he is making a monkey of himsclfl in Howell’s interest.

Tile tali* Professor S.

"We concede this, however, In the present ease only as an abstract possi bility. for the advance of astronomical knowledge Is much more likely to show that the kernel of the comet In but the bigness of some large meteorite against which our air is nil clttclent shield, and tho chalice of evil Is most remote In any ease only such as may come In any hour of our lives from liny quarter, not alone from the earthquake, but from the pestilence that walketli In dark ness from the Intlnltoly little be low and within us as well as from tho Infinite powers of the universe without. “Something common to iiiaii ami the brute speaks at such times.

It Is Hot Thm of nn In,linn, but of n rri-tljr Little Girl. Mrs. Sarah Longa .-re Keen, who liv ed and died In Philadelphia, eatue nearer being tlie queen of the Ameri can mint than any woman who ever lived. With the exception of Queen Victoria, whose Image was engraved on every coin of the British and In dian empires, Mrs. Keen was llrst In the number of her metal photographs. Her face as a girl of twelve summers Is to he seen on every American cent Issued since 1830 from Uncle Sam’s coin factory. It Is usually assumed that the fuce on the head side of the copper Is that of an Indlnn, Imt a close look will rt- vch! a Saxon profile. Just borrow a cent and look at It The setting Is that of nn Indian. Between 1H28 and 1840 .lames Hnr- ton Longa ere was chief engraver In the United States mint In Philadelphia. In IK'15 a competition wns opened for sketches and engravings for the new copper cent that was to be Issued and which has since been In service. There were over a thousand designs offered. The prize was a good one. Ixingaere racked Ids brain for some original and singular design that would strike the Judges, but for months lie failed to satisfy himself. One morning a number of Indians, with their chief, who had Itecii to pay their respects to the great white chief In Washington, earne to the city and were shown through the mint. They were Introduced to the white chiefs picture maker, who was Jusi then showing his young daughter Sarah the great concern. The old chief was at tracted by the sweet faced maiden and her Interest In Ills feathers and paint. She childishly wondered bow she would look III the feathered headgear. This was told the chief, who solemnly divested himself of Ills feathers and had them placed on the girl’s head. Tlie effect wns so striking that the father t«s>k time to make a sketch of the picture, finishing It afterward for Ills own amusement. At the last moment of the |icrind given for sending In engravings he lie- thought himself of the possibility of the combination of Indian feathers and Saxon sweetness. He got It in. and much sport was made of tho child at the time III the city because of tlie Incident. The sketch passed through th<‘ seventh sifting and finally reached tlie last round. My one vote It won, and ever since Sarah Longaere's young fuce lias served for the humblest of coins, than which no single coin tn the world has such tremendous circula tion. Detroit News-Tribune. SAID ABOUT WOMEN. The Oldest House In Louisians. The oldest building In Louisiana, the ancient archbishopric on Chartres street. New Orleans, boasts of one of the handsomest courtyards.

Johnson. TpIIIiik the Time. One of the accurate ways of telling the time Is to use your hand as an hour mark. Nothing simpler. All farmers not possessed of watches or clocks and who have some practical notions of common utilities not Invent ed by innn. but given to us by the Creator, know the rule. It Is necessary to keep In mind the hour of sunrise uud sunset and to hold the arm straight out from the shoulder, with the hand at right angles, bending from the wrist forward. If the sun sets at 7 o'clock anti Is still high in tlie Iichv- ens close one eye and make three meas ures of the width of the palm near the thumb. Each measure means oue hour. Throe measures meHii three hours, so that the time thus obtained Is 7 less 3, or 4 o’clock. With practice you can ls*ut the average watch.—New York Press.
