It in the charter and part of a road bed between MudHon and Athena. Nova Scotia voteH in favor of secension from the dominion, Imt bow it in to be accomplished is another question. The movement is not likely to result in re bellion, for tlie revolt would not lie against the dominion, Imt against the imperial government itself, which pro vided for the union. If Gladstone should succeed, possibly the same parliament that gives home rule to Ireland will ex tend the same boon to Nova Scotia. A vkuv strong contest over the liquor question in Spalding county resulted in a vote of 245 in favor of whisky. As usual in such elections the matter is to he con tested, and the prohibitionist# claim that they will lie able to throw out a sufficient number of illegal votes to have a ma jority. If these illegal votes were more closely watched on the day of the elec tion, it would save a great deal of anoy ance and unpleasantness which a contest always produces. K no in ice ns in London, discussing the possibility of building ocean steamers capable of making forty knots per hour, are startled by some of the younger en gineers, who declare as a matter of t heory that this can he done. At such a rate of speed the Atlantic could be crossed in about three days; Imt the vessel would have to he light, lit only for passenger service, and, although shadier than pres ent Atlantic steamers, its engines would have to be of more than 30,000 horse power! Tub contestants in the prohibition elec tion case in Baldwin county are about to see their way out of a very serious mud dle. Representatives of both prohibi tionists and antis, according to a Mil- ledgeville special, have voluntarily pro posed that the main legal points he sub mitted to Judge Lawson* with what light has so far been thrown on the case by examination of witnesses. After about an hour's consideration, hath sides agreed to the plan of these gentlemen, and the three points submitted to the judge are: First, was Judge .Sanford’s action in throwing out the poll at Brown's cross ing legal. Second, the same as to Butt’s poll. Third, did parties holding tax- collectors' receipts, hut against whom stood tax executions, vote legally. One of the cure-all quack doctors has come to grief in Connecticut. He readily made a contract to cure a man in eight | weeks of a cancer pronounced incurable I by regular physicians, and was, of course, j paid in advance. In nine eases out of ten his failure to perform his agreement would have involved no more unpleas- | tint consequences than a private "row" I THK NitW IRRTttVfi) TO UT. The executive committee of the demo- ! eratlr party of Muscogee county has call- j cd a moss meeting, which will be held at the court house to-day. The meeting has 1 been called in order that tho democrats of Muscogee may take their county politi cal affairs into their own hands and dis pose of t lieni in accordance with their own good pleasure. While the mass meeting is by no mean- proscribed in tho call made by the com mittee, it is understood that the meeting is for tho purpose of arranging for repre sentation in tho gubernatorial and con gressional conventions soon to he held. Whether these delegates will lie selected to-day, or whether a time at some futun day w ill lie named for choosing them, will he a matter entirely with those who assemble at 111• • court house to-day in re sponse to the call by the committee. Tlii- was tlie intention of the committee and it is so understood by the people. lienee all will understand what is meant when the assertion is made that this is perhaps tho most important meet ing in which the voters of Muscogee will tie culled to participate during the present campaign. It will he determined to-day how these delegates will he selected, as well as when they will lie selected. We have hoard many conjectures as to what will be the result. If the voters of the democratic party of Muscogee county attend the meeting and do their duty, it matters not what may be the result, it should he satisfactory to all. If they fail to perform the duty they owe to the state, to the party and to themselves by remaining away from the meeting,then they should acquiesce in the whole transaction. They will have no right to complain at any thing that may he done. Let none misunderstand. The meeting will take place at the court house and lie called to order for the transaction of business at 11 o’clock this morning. All have received fair notice, and every democratic voter in the county who can possibly do so should be present and aid in securing a full and free expression of the wishes of the people. Having per formed this duty let every man accept the result with a good grace, whether his wishes are gratified or whether they are not. We have never seen such a good-humored campaign in this section in the history of state politics. Let us keep it so. IS HR A CANDIDATE! The Meriwether Vindicator disclaims any intention to charge that the early as sembling of the convention in this con gressional district was in tho interest of any candidate. It furthermore says it “did not say the early call was intended to interfere with the canvassing of Col. Harris, but the fact that it does so cannot successfully ho controverted.” After making plain this statement of tho case, the Vindicator goes on to remark : "But it is said that as Mr. Harris is ‘in the hands of his friends, and as the friends of Mr. Harris are right here in the district, these friends have just as many privileges and an equal show ing with the candidates who are in the Held.' Well, this specious plea may prove that the friends of Harris have an equal showing with the other candidates, but does it show that Harris himself has‘an equal showing with the candi dates who are in the field V Does not the ab sence of Harris prove that he does not have an equal showing? If he has not an equal showing is he not embarrassed by being placed at a disadvantage ? We are not‘kicking,’ as the Columbus ENqumitK-SuN says, but only spurring the friends of Mr. Harris to redoubled effort by showing the great necessity for earnest work and combined energy on account of the short time to elapse before the convention meet--. We arc not trying to show that the early day was intended to embarrass the friends ol Harris, but expressing a regret that it does do so and wish ing that our candidate might have been given a chance to have met his friends face to face. It is well known that an unintentional injury may prove as fatal as an intentional one. In a word, we are not so much making complaints as stating facts.” As read between the lines, liic Yimli- t‘til nr iu "stating facts” gives the assurance p COLUMBUS, GEORGIA; mu>. njasu - — wiccetwor, they simply reftise to give the distinguished speaker credit for being ! possessed o. ,r particle of triith or th- j tegrity. He was as plain and candid in j this statement as it is possible for a man | to bo. It will not he questioned, even by the \ friends of Gen. Gordon, that he indulged i largely in questions of a personal charac ter, hilt they will find excuse for this by J the fact that these questions have been drawn into the campaign by the joint j debates of a few weeks since and have i become a part of the campaign. His | Hpcoch was very satisfactory to his friends, | and those who aru opposed to him must give him credit for candor—the c'undor they did not expect. Both candidates have now been before j the people, and they ought to lie pre pared to east their votes intelligently The next few days, and it may lie that ! to-day, will settle the question as to i whom Muscogee county prefers for the j next governor of (leoivia. SATURDAT MORNING, JUNE 19, 1886. CLEVELAND’S I We consider jokes out of place in so serious and dignified a body as the senate, but we arc- inclined to forgive Senator Vance this time. It was a happy thought to say that he wished the bill to forfeit the unearned land grants would be as effective as the yankee scare-crow, ‘which not only scared the crows out of the corn-held, but compelled them to bring back the corn they stole last year.” How pleasant it would be. says the Charleston News and Courier, to apply such an invention to the Indianapolis Journal, if it could have the effect, not only of preventing that paper from telling untruths this year, but of inducing repentance for all the un truths it has told before on the subject of the south and the southern people. It iw stated that Hon. Seaborn Wright, of Floyd county, will be an independent candidate for congress in the seventh, district. Independent ism has been dead in that district since the defeat of Dr. Felton. The Atlanta correspondent of the Ma- u on Telegraph sends this to that paper: “The counties most discussed here just now are Coweta, Muscogee and Floyd. It is believed all three will cast their vote for Major Bacon. Re ports from Muscogee are very encouraging, and a number of gentle men who know the county well said to-day they have never had any doubt that it would go for Bacon. Such a result will be a decided victory for Bacon and a settler for ex- Governor Smith.” A Seaman in Fernandina, Fla., is said to be so seriously ill from the effects of eating oysters grown on piling that had been creosoted that he is not expected to survive the effects of the poison in his system. A whole parish in Wales is on a strike for a reduction of 10 per cent, in the tithes. The vicar offers to come down 5 per cent., but this has been rejected by the parishioners. It is believed that President Cleveland will never return to Buffalo, New York, to live, and that he is negotiating for the sale of his property in that city. The heirs of an estate ($200,000) in Mount Hol ly, New Jersey, will be paid this week on a set tlement that has been reached after a chancery suit of thirty years. BAKING POWDER Contains only purest grape cream of tartar, bicarbonate of soda, and a little wheat flour, the latter to preserve the strength of the powder—nothing else whatever. What other manufacturers impart to the public a knowledge of ALL the Ingredients that enter into their baking powder? Consumers have a right to know what they are using as food. In these times of extensive adulteration the public should demand this information, and in all cases where not given should refuse to purchase the baking powder. Cleveland Brothers, Albany, N.

Tun senate awoke from its lone, luzzy tit the other day and disposed of a nuni- her of nominations, some of which have been hunt; up for several months. In speaking of this, and evidently with an idea of poking fun at the ridiculous secret sessions, of the senate, the Xew York Times says “the reader w ill find confi dential information as to details in our Washington dispatches. \Ye beg them, however, not to say anything about it, because the action of the senate is strict ly secret and the dignity, as well as tho peace of mind, of that august body required that its secrets shall not he divulged. As every member is pledged, not to say sworn, to absolute silence on the subject, it would give rise to serious suspicions of senatorial incontinence if it became known that the proceedings of yesterday had got outside the ‘closed doors,’ Tins is why we beg our readers to help keep tins grave business from the ears of the senators."

He is by nature an artist, and hi* years of study and tuition in eastern citie'« nave developed him into one of the fore most young decorators of his time. Some years ago he came soutii to decorate tlie interior of the Church of tlie Imaeulate Conception, at Atlanta, and, liking tlie people and climate, determined to locate south of Mason and Dixon’s line, since then he has been joined by his brother-. F.

While I have not what i’s tenned a delicate constitution, I am in- no means a robust fellow, and have what might be called tlie ‘Xew England mold.' physically. For some time past I had been losing vigor, when my attention was called to Hunnicutt’s Rheumatic Cure as a tonic and strengthener of tlie sys tem. I began using it about four weeks ago and since that time have gained eight and a half pounds in weight.

Ala., where he amassed quite a fortune by strict integrity and honesty, and in later years connected with tlie wholesale drug house of Pemberton, Pullum Ac Co., of Atlanta, Ga., and now a citizen of that city, said a few days ago in the presence of a reporter: “My wife had been for many years a constant sufferer from rheumatism. Her joints were swollen and distorted, great knots had formed upon her hand, she could only with great difficulty and pain manage to walk, and was a constant suf ferer from this dreadful disease. We tried everything we could read or hear of, and took advice of eminent practi tioners without any benefit in the way of permanent relief. I was induced to try Hunnicutt’s Rheumatic Cure a short time ago, ALTHOUGH I HAD LOST FAITH in all patent medicines and nostrums and considered iter case incurable. “Tlie effect was magical; tlie pains have entirely vanished; the swelling and dis tortion of her joints has disappeared, and the disease lias been, I verily believe, eradicated from her system. She i- -till using tlie medicine as a precautionary measure, and her general good health is being restored by it.
