The Georgia Democratic State con vention will meet in Atlanta July 2. This year should assuredly go down as the year of strikes. Probably never before have so many men and various industries been involved. The London Times declares that the casualties in the Boer war compare, favorably with those of other conflicts, being only three per cent greater than the death list in the British army from foreign service. The Panama canal bill, known as the Spooner bill, which passed the senate last week, has been passed by the house by a vote of 252 to 7, six Democrats and one Republican consti-, tu ting the opposition. The railroads of Indiana, it is said, have been confiscating all the coal coming over their lines and are keep^ ing it loaded in cars on sidings. As a conseqnenece there is .a shortage of cars, and it is claimed that there is already a practical tie-up at the mines. This action of the railroads is due to an apprehension that there will i be ? general suspension of mining. It is contended that the railroads are thereby playing into the. hands of the miners' in the event of a general tie-up. * Americans of the future, ' ' says Mr. Charles Francis Adams, "will look upon the war of 1861-63, its canses, its incidents and its men, with differ ent eyes from those with which we see them now?eyes wholly different from those from which we saw forty years ago. They?-for we will by that time ?ave joined the generation to which we belonged?will recognize the some what essential fact, indubitably true, that all the honest conviction, ail the loyalty, all the patriotic devotion and self-sacrifice, were not then, any more than all the courage, on the victor's side."

However religious observances may change in England, the eating of hot cross buns on Good Friday is not likely to die out Still, enthusiasm in this particular has considerably declined since the days when Mrs. Hands kept the Chelsea Bun House at the corner of Jews' row, now Pimlico road. So many people were in the habit of flock ing there on Good Friday in order to eat hot cross buns that on one occasion 50,000 persons assembled there, and ?250 was : taken , in the day for buns atone. After this the inhabitants of Chelsea protested against the noise and disturbance this caused, and Mrs. Hands; fearing to be restrained by" the law, issued m 1793 a quaint proclama tion, stating how, "desirous, therefore, o? testifying her regard and obedience to those laws by which she is happily ? pto??iite?, sheis determined, though much to her loss, not to sell cross buns on that day to any person whatever, out Chelsea buns, as usual." TMs Mrs. Hands was something of a character in her own way. The royal family and many of the' aristocracy used to visit her in the morning, and Queen Charlotte even presented her with a silver haif gallon mug contain ing S guineas.. The house remained in the possession of her family for some time, as Sir Richard Phillips, writing a few years before Its destruction, men tions. After admitting that for upward of thirty years he had never passed the house without filling his pockets, he goes on to say, "These buiis have af forded a competency and even wealth to four generations of the same family, and it is singular that their delicate flavor, lightness and richness have nev er been successfully imitated." When Banelagh was closed, the Bun House dedined In popularity, though as late as ISSO 24,000 buns were sold on Good Friday alone.?London Qhronicle. A Shrewd Yantee. A certain Boston hotel man tells this good story at his own expensef When a smal: boy on the farm, his folks often sent him to the neighbors to l>uy a dozen eggs when their hens failed to lay enough. He noticed that the old farmer al ways held each egg before a lighted candle and examined it carefully. In his Innocence of Yankee shrewdness the boy supposed that this was prompt ed more by honesty and intention to detect whether the ?ggs were bad or not; One day,- however, when he counted his eggs, according to custom, there were only eleven in the basket With a d?termination not to be cheat ed, the lad trudged proudly* back to the house and quickly made known his discovery. ""Oh,"said the old farmer, 'that's a? right, my boy. One of them has a doo j b;e yolk."?Boston Becord. Sea Necklaces. Pretty nearly every one has seen the curions "sea mi?es," or "sea neck laces." which are found plentifully on ocean beaches. These are the egg cases of the sea snails. They consist of a nnmber of small, disk shaped en velopes attached along a sort of stem, the biggest of them being in the mid dle. In each envelope there is a little spot of thinner material, which the yonng break through when they are ready to be hatched. When the female gasteropod is about to lay, she buries herself in the s^nd, from the surface j of which the "necklace" of eggs is j gradually extruded- Being thus set adrift and exposed to the elements, as well as to devouring enemies, few of the eggs are ever hatched, but those which do come into the world safely and survive doubtless live to a very great age. She Played the Tramp Card. "How did she ge$ here?" At a famous dancing assembly this was the quite audible comment made by several mar ried belles when a beautiful young ma tron as yet on the outskirts of the ex clusive set entered the room. The new comer, whose first appearance it was, proved herself quite equal to the occa sion. She had a nodding acquaintance with nearly every woman in the room. Some of them even went to her lunch eon parties. Calmly turning to the most supercilious critic in the room, she ech oed as though in reply: "How did I get here? I drove h?re, my dear Mrs. Crossbeam.

Backed by People of All Classes With out Regard to Past Factional Af K' filiations the Ex-Governor En ters the Senatorial Race. (From The Spartanburg Journal.) Spartanburg's candidate for the United States senate to succeed John li McLaurin is ex-Governor John Gary Evans. In a'residence of several years he has established himself in the es teem and , good will-of the people of this county to such an extent that he is re garded with no less affection and inter est that would be the case were he a native born Spartan. His popularity ext?nds to all classes. Some of his closest political and personal friends are to be found among thoee who were formerly his strongest opponents. To know Governor Evans has been tc appreciate his fine qualities, his sterling honesty and his eminent qual. iflcations as a statesman and citizen. He carried this county by large major ities for governor and senator, and he will carry it this year by a much larg er majority than ever; indeed, it might almost be said that he will receive the unanimous democratic vote of the county, so great Is the local interest in his candidacy. His personal popular ity extending from Spartanburg County as a basis, is radiated all over the Piedmont section ! the state and in every profession, trade and calling Governor Evans is looked upon as a s^endid type , of a South Carolinian. His Strength Is With A!! Classes. His friendship and aid have ever been extended to the large agricul tural interests of the state, and our large and growing industrial popula tion has come to regard him as a staunch and sincere friend. At the same time Governor Evans has nevez been regarded as hostile to capital and corporations in any sense, and has many friends and supporters among those who have large invest ments in cotton and other manufactur ing industries. While there can hard ly be said to be any logic in politics. Governor Evans is- nevertheless the logical candidate to succeed McLaurin,. by reason of the vigorous and won derfully prophetic fight he made on the commercial statesman five years a$o. He then said McLaurin was a republican, and that gentleman has himself since proven the charge be yond a doubt. Governor Evans was utrt the only prophet in that line, how ever, but he was the only man who m tde a fight on McLaurin then who is n? w a candidate before the people as hi* successor. He evidently knows a republican when he sees one, and tris is some assurance, if any were needed, that his own democracy is straight. Has Been Faithful to Every Trust. Governor Evans' equipment and qualifications for the sena:orship are undoubted, and his services to the peo ple of the state certainly give him a claim upon their earnest consideration of his candidacy. He has ever been faithful to the trust repos?e in him by the democrats of South Carolina, and retains to the utmost the respect and confidence of those who know him. The very fact that he has held the j support of those who were his political J associates in times when there were sharp lines drawn between the faction al affiliations of our people and has since the effacement-'of those lines drawn to himself the good will and friendship of those who formerly op posed him, shows him to be a man who is steadfast in character and emi-1 nent in ability. He is strongest where I he is best known, and is backed by the support of the thickly populated Piedmont counties and he is sure to be a formidable factor in the race. Til Iman Hands Off. In view of numerous reports about this man and that man being "Till' man's candidate" for the senate, a statement made by Senator Tillman in Washington recently may prove of in terest to those watching South Caro lina politics. "There is really no reason why I should mix up in this race," said Sen ator Tillman, "nor do I intend to take the slightest part in it one way or the other. It is true that before Evans entered the race there was but one candidate in the field, Representative Latimer, who had not at one time op posed me. For this reason, thyaking to hurt Representative Latimer's chances for election, the report baa been circulated that I was backing Latimer It is untrue to say that I am backing any one of the candidates. Now that Mr. Evans has definitely an nounced his candidacy for the sena*--?, there will be two of my former sup porters in the race. Another reason why I am not called upon to take a hand. "But it should be remembered that nene of the candidates in the race ars running for the senate against me. They are after the junior senatorship, ana because in the past tbe other can didates?Mr. Elliott, Mr. Kemphill, Mr. Henderson and Mr. Johnstone?have been political opponents of mine does not seem to me to furnish either an excuse cr a reason *cr my meddling in the game." A man should not be blamed for the mistakes be makes. He should be cred ited as be profits by them.?Atcbison Globe. Hite Revenge. Mr. De Lone (on being introduced)?

"I must have been. It was ten years ago. and your reason for refusing me was that you were old enough to be my mother." Old Time Pirates. On board the famous pirate Roberts* ship a man who was crippled in battle received ?800 out of the common stock, and a proportionate sum was awarded for lesser hurts. Lowther allowed ?150 for the loss of a limb, and other cap tains instituted a sort of tariff of wounds which extended to ears, fin gers and toes. Oar Varied Seasons, The longest cold season In the United States is found in the Rocky mountain region, where it exceeds the warm by about ten days. ?be warm season in Texas and the lower Missouri valley opens about ten days earlier than in the region near the middle Atlantic coast and from twenty to twenty-five days earlier than on the southern coast of California. In the northwest the warm season opens from twenty to twenty-five days earlier than in the lake regiou and from fifteen to twenty days earlier than in the north Pacific coast region.
