Only one petrified pig has been dis

The Southern people would be delighted

The fifth convention of the National
Association of Photographers, now in

The report is current that J. Warren
Keiter has started a newspaper. Of
course his peculiar talent will be strongly
enlisted for the plumed knight, for has
not Heifer also a spotted record ?
The Republican clubs eomplain that
their paper plumes won’t wash. It ought
to be considered a much more serious
matter to them that their candidate’s
record is open to the same objection.
It is stated that Freddy Gebhardt made
the Western tour with Mrs. Langtry in
cog., being known as Mr. Pigott. The
mystery of the cowboy lover may now be
Accounted for. It was Freddy in dis

A Cincinnati paper says that city can
vie with Toulon in regard to the filthy
condition of its streets. So Cincinnati is
the Toulon, and not the Paris, of Ameri

ever.
An exchange says that Blaine’s church
pew is to be photographed and used as a

A New Jersey paper thinks the United
States ought to have two Presidents, rep

Two matrimonial desertions per day is
the estimated average in Philadelphia,
and yet the people of that city affect to be

It is net often that the baker gives one a

What do the people think of Alderman
Hamilton’s plan to increase the number
Of Aldermen to 18 and to give the Mayor

Even in San Francisco the coal dealers
are accused of giving their retail custo

Frank James has already become a
politician since his release from jail. He
has been hard at work trying to deleat
the District Attorney who prosecuted
him at Gallatin, Mo- and who is a candi

successful, as his enemy has already
secured the Democratic nomination, and
is pretty certain to be elected.
The Czar of all the Kussias is said to
be getting quite haggard on account of
fear of being assassinated by the Nihil
ists. The discovery of the Warsaw plot
almost unnerved him, and it may be that
he will be brought to his tomb by terror
alone. It is better to be an humble citi
zen of a free country than to be a mon
arch of a powertul but oppressed nation.
The Galveston Xeies latimates that
some Georgia papers are doing all they
can in a sly way for Blaine, and lose no
opportunity to throw cold water on the
Democratic platform and ticket. It says
the Georgia Democrats get queerer every
day Don’t be uneasy about Georgia
Democrats, brother Xetcs. They areas
solid as the most solid part of the solid
South could wish them to be.
The report that there are hundreds of
Mormon polygamists in the mountains of
Tennessee and Alabama who are too poor
to go to Utah is probably an exaggeration.
A poor man is the last person in the world
who would want more than one wife in
the localities named, unless the wives
could be made a little more than self-sup-
Dorting, and the ginseng crop in the
mountains is not large enough for that
jo be accomplished in many instances.
-
The Promise of Prosperity.
The business outlook continues to grow
;more promising. In the great financial
centres the panic is regarded as over.
There continue to be a good many fail
ures. but in most cases they are
due to the continued stringency in the
money market rather than to any extra
ordinary weakness of business houses.
The banks, lor some reason or other, still
maintain a very conservative policy.
They do not appear to be anxious to
make loans, and when they do they de
mand very high rates of interest. They
are preparing, they say, to meet the de
mand which will soon be made on them
for money to move the crops. However,
they are beginning to show more liberali
ty, and it may not be long before business
will be moving easily in its accustomed
channels.
Business men in New York are looking
for a very prosperous season. Their orders
are already large, and the expectation is
that they will exceed those of any previ
ous season. There is some depression
among manufacturers, but working peo
ple generally seem to be employed at fair
wages. There are certainly no reports of
distress among them. If business comes
up to its present promise the fall trade
will be very large.
Of c.urse the basis of all prosperity is
the crops. The reports received from
every part of the country areenoouraging.
In the Northwest the wheat crop was ex
cellent, but the prices are not high. The
large yield, however, is some compensa
tion for the low prices. The corn crop
promises well. The harvest is certain to
be bountiful. The reports respecting cot
ton place the crop above the average.
There doesn’t appear to be any reason
why business shouldn’t grow rapidly
more prosperous as tbe season advances.
Confidence is certainly returning. No
body doubts that the little panic that
flurried Wall street a couple of months or
so ago has spent its force.
Stocks show a great improvement, at
least those do which pay dividends. Some
of those which do not have advanced a
good many points from tbe lowest price
they reached. The impression in finan
cial and business centres appears to be
that the country is on the up grade, and
that it will continue on that grade. The
panic, assuming that it is over, did not
amount to a great deal. In no respect
did it compare with that of 1873. The
country was too prosperous, and It soon
reached limits which it could not pass.
The notable failures were among stock
speculators. If the banks had pursued
a less timid policy it is probable that
there would have been very few failures
of those engaged in legitimate business.
The Well Water Question.
The well water question is attracting
attention in quite a number of cities. In
New York the health authorities are dis
cussing tbe advisability of Closing all the
wells. It is claimed that, owing to the
geological formation of the island of Man
hattan, pure water cannot be obtained
there even at the depth of 1,000 feet. The
water from the deepest well 9 contains
poisonous matter. In St. Louis the well
water question is also being agitated.
That city is built on a limestone lounda
tion, and pure well water ought to be ob
tained there, if anywhere, provided the
wells are sunk below the limestone. The
St. Louis Health Department, however,
declares that the water of the wells is un
fit for use, and is making preparations
to close all the wells. Aa analysis
shows that some of tbe wells contain as
much as 24 per cent, of chlorine. The
people of this city are beginning to
awaken to the danger that lurks in the
wells. They have known, of course, all
along that the water is impure, but they
have contented themselves with the idea
that it was not sufficiently poisonous to
hurt anybody. They have not considered
that perhaps diphtheria, malarial and
other fevers are caused by this contami
nated well water. They have now, how
ever, the opinions of the leading physi
cians of the city that the wells are sources
of disease, and they ought not to he satis
fied until the city authorities order
the wells closed. If cholera were
to find a lodgment here the
well water would contribute more than
anything else to its spread. If the wells
were closed there would have to be some
arrangement made to supply very poor
people with water. Hydrants could easily
be placed in localities as convenient as
the pumps are now. It would be bet
ter, of course, that water should be in all
tenement houses, even the commonest, so
that the poor might enjoy the luxury of
frequent baths. Asa correspondent, in a
communication published this morning,
suggests, the city could easily arrange for
the collection of a reasonable water tax.
The tax could be graded in accordance
with tbe value of the property, and the
property held responsible for it. The tax,
however, is a matter for the Council to
settle. The thing to attend to now is to
get the wells closed.
Rev. James Dunwoilj.
This venerable preacher of the Gospel
died at his home in Houston county
Thursday evening. He was at the time
of his death the oldest Methodist preacher
in Georgia, being in the 95th year of his
age, and for about three-quarters of a
century has been a tried and faithful min
ister of the Methodist Church. He joined
the Georgia Conference in early life, and
was one of the true and earnest laboreis
in the cause of Christianity who would
not be stopped by any obstacle, and who
preached alone for the love he bore his
Hastei Itnd his fellow creatures.
With little education and many disad
vantages to contend with, Rev. James
Dunwody began preaching with an ear
nestness and zeal that in time made him
one of the most useful ministers in the
State. Long after his age and infirmities
would have placed him on the superan
nuated list, he persisted in doing regular
work, and when at last the Conference
refused to give him a charge, he contin
ued to preach, and for many years past
has claimed every fifth Sunday as his
regular appointment at the Methodist
Church in Perry. He also preached fre
quently at Dunwody Chapel, near his
residence.
He has been blind and almost deaf for
probably ten years, but his mind
seemed to strengthen as his other
faculties became impaired, and some
of the best sermons of his life were
delivered a short time before bis last ill
ness. His purity and simplicity of life
were equal to his zeal. He was a most
remarkable man in this respect.
All who knew Rev. James Dunwody
know that the summons, most welcome to
him, had long been waited for with pa
tience and hope. For him “to die is
gain.”
The Philadelphia Press says: “ ‘The in
famous civil service law’ is what the Cin
cinnati Enquirer, the leading Democratic
journal of Ohio, calls it. It is understood
that if a Democratic administration ever
gets into power John Rodgers McLean
will make it a penitentiary offense for a
Republican to seek an office.” The Press
ought not to forget that hundreds of emi
nent Republicans have already committed
penitentiary offenses while seeking offices.
It is not the seeking but the manner of
Beeking offices that has made so many
members ot the grand old party criminals.
If appearances count for anything ex-
Senator Conkling has thoroughly re
formed. He sat on the platform the other
day during a temperance meeting at
Ocean Grove, New Jersey, at which en
thusiastic speeches were made for St.
John and Daniel. Conkling applauded
the speeches, and earnestly congratulated
the orators. The Washington Star thinks
beyond all doubt that Conkling is for St.
John and Daniel and Prohibition. If this
be true, it will go to prove that the taffy
in Blaine’s book was not as powerful as
it was thought to be.
The Blaine organs are bothering them
selves about Cleveland’s letter of accept
ance. They appear to be afraid that
Daniel Manning and Hanton Marble will
write it for him. What if they dof It is
not probable, however, that they will.
Cleveland is fully able to write his own
letters and messages. The few remarks
that he made when notified of his nomina
tion were much superior to those made
by Blaine when officially Informed of hi#
Domination,
Attacking Beecher.
Hdhry Ward Beecher is one of the
targets for the malice of the Blaine
organs. They appear to think that it is
fair and honorable not only to misrepre
sent what he says, but to utilize every
opportunity to hold him up to ridicule.
It he were supporting Blaine they would
exhaust the list of laudatory adjectives
in praising him, but because he has seen
proper to announce his determination to
support Cleveland, they find it difficult
to discover language sufficiently strong to
condemn him. Surely Mr. Beecher is
free to support Cleveland it he wants to.
He has the right that any citizen has to
vote for whom he pleases. He does
not engage in blackguarding Blaine.
He does not say a word about
Blaine’s character. He simply says
that he cannot support him, because he
does ttot like his methods of doing things
as a public man, and does not believe that
he is a safe man to whom to entrust the
government, ne certainly has good rea
sons for what hesays. When Blaine was
Secretary of State there was apprehension
that be would contrive to get the country
into trouble with a foreign power. Blaine
has a reputation for brilliancy and audaci
ty. He is proud of it, and he wants to do
something whenever he has the opportu
nity to sustain it. Mr. Beecher don’t like
that sort of a man for President, and he is
frank enough to say so openly and freely.
He still claims to be a Republican, and
probably will vote the Republican ticket
next fall, with the exception of the elec
toral part of it. Mr. Beecher is only one
of many thousands of Republicans
who will not support Blaine. The bolt
ers regard him as a corrupt man, and
will not vote for him for that reason.
They think that their party ought to be
rebuked for nominating a man who repre
sents in such a marked degree the spoils
element. The attacks on Beecher will do
him no harm. The motive which inspires
them is well understood. Beecher will
continue to give his reasons for not sup
porting Blaine notwithstanding the at
tacks. Of course it is galling to Blaine
to be repudiated by those who have given
character to the Republican party. It is
noticeable that Elkins, Gould, Brady,
Dorsey, Kellogg and Keifer stick to him.
They will not desert him as long as he
has any prospect ot success. There
could have been no nomination which
would have been more satisfactory to
them.
Here is what the Memphis Avalanche
has to say about a man who quit planting
all cotton before it was too late: “He
walked into the Avalanche editorial room
yesterday aiternoon. The editor looked
up and said, Howde? but did not at first
recognize his visitor. The aforesaid visi
tor was well dressed, and bis manner in-
a prosperous man. He might be a
well-to-do city merchant ora wealthy rail
way president. He was neither. He was,
in short, the Plowboy. Three years ago he
was a Shelby county cotton planter con
stantly in debt to his merchant. He was
ill-clad and poorly fed. He was bound hand
and foot to tbe merchant because, without
the merchant, he would starve. But a
marvelous change has come over the
Plowboy. Instead of cotton he raises
corn, grass, hogs, sheep and cattle. He
sells 100 pounds of butter per week in the
Memphis market. He owes no man any
thing and always has money in his
pocket.” This has been tbe experience
of a great many people in Georgia aid
other parts of the South.
The Nashville American says: “The
railroads of Georgia have by the evidence
of our Southern exchanges played sad
havoc with the truck farming interests
ot the State, especially the watermelon
industry. It is generally conceded tbe
latter is at an end, and that it is due to
extortionate rates of freight and the ex
actions of middlemen.” The American
has not kept well posted on the subject.
The railroads of Tennessee and other
States are as much, it not more to blame
than those of Georgia. Our railroads have
not the making of rates to Northern cities
altogether in their own hands. Perhaps
they are entirely handicapped hv connect
ing roads.
CURRENT COMMENT.
No Doubts About Honest Men.
Kew York World ( Dem.).
After the meeting at Chiokering Hall last
night there need be no doubt as to where the
sympathies or the laboring men and the honest
Irishmen of this city are. They are with
Cleveland.
Facts for Laboring Men.
Washington Post [Dem..).
There are a hundred times as many million
aires and two hundred times as many unem
ployed poor men in the United States as there
were tweutv-four years ago. These facts
show how labor is “protected” by war taxes
in time of peace.
Dodging Civil Service Reform.
St. Louis Republican (Dem.).
Docs anybody doubt that each individual
of the thousands of Federal office holders as
sessed for campaign purposes will regard
himself as marked for removal if lie fail or re
fuse to pay as asked? The intention of the
civil service law was to make every govern
ment employe as independent as other citi
zens are with respect to political contribu
tions, but the spirit of the law is disregarded
in the assessments of officials, and everyone
knows that there will not be wanting pre
texts to turn out all who are marked by the
campaign committee.
Easily Recognized Difference.
Mine York Evening Post [Jnd. Rep.)
The people are *taot slow to recognize the
difference between the professional office
seeker anil the man who neither seeks nor
shuns thedutiesof public station. Mr. Blaine
is as distinctly the type of the former as Gov.
Cleveland is of the latter, and it is no insig
nifieent augurv ef Gov, Cleveland's success
that all of the Presidents who have been
elec ed since the time of Buchanan have been
found among those who were not distinctively
known as candidates for the office, and an
glers for the nomination, while all those who
have taken great pains to secure It have been
disappointed.

Quarantine regulations against cholera
cause some curious difficulties on the Franco-
Spanish frontier. Along the high road, near
the village of Perthus, one side of the way is
French, the other Spanish. Accordingly, if a
Spaniard merely crosses from his house to a
French cafe opposite for a petit verre, he can
not go home again until he has undergone
seveu days’ strict quarantine.
The late Mine. Taglioni’s stage costume
would have surprised ballet dancers of the

the whole of her career wore a dress which
allowed her knee to be seen. Her own b>gh

rebuke she administered to one of her admir
ers in Milan who begged her to shorten her
dress “just a very little.” “.Signor,” replied
the daoeer, "I do not dance for men, I dauce

The science of locks and keys has been
brought to great perfection tn this country,
and probably is unrivaled; but a hundred

less here, that coni 1 comparator security with
one that has been in use inCbina for hundreds
of years. It Is a wooden lock, and founded
exactly upon the same principle as the mod

opened when they are all raised to the proper
height.
The San Diego (Cal.) Sun is responsible f r

process of devulcanizing India rubber. Bv this
wonderful discovery old rubber can be worked
over several process which has puz
zled the wisest heads in the world for centu

to devulcanize it. The experiment proved
successful.”
Santa Clara county, Cam., is perhaps the
only place in this country, probably in the
world, where three crops of fruit have been
taken off trees in one year. As an instance,
the Sqn Jose limes recently said: “Mrs. .J.

her place a number of pear trees of the Win
ter Nellis variety, off of which have already
lieen taken, since last January, two large
crops of pears, and there is, on the trees now.
about half grown, the third crop, which is so
large that about one-half of the fruit will

nourishment to the other half.
The Scientific American has an illustration
of anew life-saving apparatus, designed to
utbize the properties of oil in case of acci
dent. It is called the automatic wave lubri
cating life buoy, and resembles in appearance
an ordinary circular life preserver. A seam
less brass reservoir extends round the inside
of the apparatus, and this being filled witli
oil is so arranged by means of a rose like
those placed upon sprinkling cans, that when
the life buoy is hung upon the vessel’s stern,
no oil cau escape. When placed horizontally,
however, the liquid flows out freely. If a
person falls overboard the buoy, on being
throw n in'o the water, spreads'out a large
circular film of oil, which smooths the waves
and enables the victim of accident to rest
safely until rescued by the boats.

pression by Black, the novelist, in “Yolande,”
in which he speaks of a man “shaking as
though.lie were in the grip of a vise.” He
thinks that anything in the grip of a vise is
not likely to shake very rcckles-ly. But that
depends Very much ou the kind of a vise. If
it is spelled with ac, and has reference to
stimulants, it my shake a man up pretty
badly.— Detroit Free Press.
Mr. Blaine doesn’t care who has the ocean
carrying trade. Why should he? Indeed, it
is better as it is. The last war with Great
Britain, it will be remembered, was caused
by America’s attempt to run a merchant ma
rine of her own. How fortunate it is that we
have now no ships or sailors! There is no
danger of the war of 1812 being repeated. Mr.
Blaine missed the opportunity of making a
good point by not claiming that this removal
of an ever-tlireatening casus belli was due to
the protective policy of the Republican party.

APPLING NOTES.
Naval Stores Rosiness—Local Matters —
County Politics—Decrease of Crime,
Etc.
Baxley, Ga., July 30.—Times have
been unusually dull in this county ever
since the coming in of this year. Every
branch of business seems to be more or
less depressed compared with last year,
notably tbe naval stores business. The
prices’of naval stores have ruled so low
the whole season that manufacturers
have hardly * been able to
make ends’ meet. Parties who
were encouraged two years ago by the
high prices of naval stores ruling at that
time to mortgage tbeir property to raise
money to go into the business, find them
selves now near the end of the season as
deep in debt as when they commenced
and with exhausted farms. How they ex
pect to lift these mortgages, I don’t
know. The timber business —that is,
cutting and carrying timber down the
Altamaha river to Darien market, which a
few years ago was a source of considerable
revenue to this county, so far as this
immediate section is concerned, has
petered out. It having liecome unprofit
able, the people were forced to give it up.
Naval stores, the principal industry of
this county, being depressed, mercantile
business is depressed proportionately.
From my observation, where merchants
sold $lO worth of goods last year they sell
$5 worth this year. The failure of crops
in this section last year, which was
almost complete on account of the
drought, has also helped to make
times hard: Crops, however, are
much better this year, and we may pre
dict better times for another year. Up to
June this season was the best for years.
The excessive rains during the month of
June and a portion of this month injured
crops a little, but not enough to affect the
general crop materially. The peach crop
is unusually fine. The melon crop was
cut short by too much rain. Notwith
standing the hard times, etc., this has
been a summer of unusual gaiety among
the people around here, judging from the
number of picnics, festivals, etc., they
have bad.
There was a picnic at Mr. G. F. Mel
ton’s school house near this place a short
time ago, which I am told was quite a
pleasant affair. Parties attending from
this place came back very much pleased.
One of the best, and perhaps most enjoy
able, things of the season was the grand
masquerade ball at the Centennial House
at this place on July 22. On account of
the hot weather, etc., it was thought by
some that this ball would not be a suc
cess, but, when it came off, the expecta
tions of the most sanguine were more
than realized. To the energies-of Mr.
J. C. Geiger, proprietor of the Centen
nial, is due the success of this affair. Mr.
Geiger promises to give another ball in
the fall, which he hopes to make eclipse
the one of the 22i1.
Politics have been running very high in
this county for several months. According
to the rotation rule this county (Appling)
is entitled to the Senator from this, the
Third Senatorial district this time. Hon. L.
Johnson, of Graham, and Dr. B. H. Pat
terson, ot this place, are the candidates. I
understand Rev. Sarvis, of Jesup, has an
nounced himself a candidate for Senator
on what he calls the “Old Whig Republi
can” ticket. From what we have seen and
heard we are not disposed to think that
the “Old Whig Republican” ticket will
make a very last race, the colored race
not seeming'to care to cast their votes in
that direction, and all the whites in the
district being straighout Democrats. So
if Rev. Sarvis does not import votes we
do not see where he expects to get them
from. Both Mr. Johnson and Dr. Patter
son are staunch Democrats, and are
emminently worthy of the suffrages of
the people, anil either would represent
the district with credit to themselves and
to their constituency.
W. W. Beach ot this place, and Mr.
Wm. Stewart, of the county, are the
candidates for the lower House of the
Legislature. Mr. Beach has many friends,
and some of them predict an easy walk
over for him. From what we can see,
Mr. Stewart alsohas a very good backing.
Aspirants for county offices have general
ly come to the front, but haven’t been
doing much electioneering as yet.
Since the conviction of Lowery crime
has been considerably on the decrease in
this county. A year ago it was a very
common thing to hear of a cutting or
shooting scrape among the negroes.
Such occurrences are hardly ever heard of
now. 1 understand there was a con
siderable row at Graham a few days ago
among the whites, pistols and knives
being flourished freely, but no blood shed.
The temperance movement of this place,
which flourished so last year, is now a
little on the decline, but it is to be hoped
ere long it will receive a stimulus that
will give it its old popularity. J. H.
GEOBGF 1. SENEY TO-DAY.
Unjust Stories About tlie Ex-Hlillion
aire’s Style of Living.
Some of the papers, says the New York
Commercial Advertiser, have devoted
themselves of late to describing the luxu
ry in which Mr. George 1. Seney is now
living. An intimate friend of Mr. Seney’s
6aid this morning: “Any such stories are
altogether UDjust and unfair. At the
time of the Metropolitan Bank’s suspen
sion, Mr. Seney gave up all his proper
ty, although he was not legally bound
to do so. Even his admirable collection
of paiutings was placed at the dis
posal of the bank. The paintings have
not been sold, as they were held
against an emergency. If they were to be
disposed of, they would of course bring in
a large sum. Possibly at some futiyc
time Mr. Seney may himself buy them
hack. But as for luxurious residences,
and all that, Mr. Seney is living quietly
out of town, at the house of a relative.
His household is anything but expensive,
and he does not even keep a horse. He is
in the city occasionally, but does no busi
ness. This ought to dispose of the foolish
and unfounded charges of extravagance
that have been raked up against him.
BORN LUCKY.
The Man Who Got 815,000 In a Lottery
—Memphis Luck.
Fortune seems to favor this neighbor
hood, for hardly a Louisiana Lottery draw
ing takes place without singling out some
luckly fellow in Memphis or this vicinity.
At the last drawing ticket No. 67,552 drew
the lourth capital prize of $6,000, aud oue
tiilh was collected by the German Na
tional Bank lor Chris. Hettinger, an hon
est and industrious carpeuter. Mr. Het
tinger was looking over the morning Ava
lanche, when he came to his number. He
hastily remarked to a friend: “By Joe, I
believe I have struck it this time,” and
rushed off for his ticket. He was over
joyed to find that it was a tally.
Ticket No. 12,333 drew the first capital
prize of $75,000, and one-fifth was held by
a well-to-do farmer living in the quaint
and picturesque little town of Canada
ville, Fayette county,Tenn. An Avalanche
reporter paid a visit recently to Cunada
ville, and was introduced to the lucky
farmer. His face was all aglow with
good nature. lie said that his good for
tune enabled him to make some improve
ments in his place that he had been long
wanting to make, but felt unable to do so.
He said he had begun life with nothing,
but had accumulated and acquired a good
farm. His $15,000 would enable hiu“o

Where the Fire is Out.
Magic nr More a Mystery—Seen from
Across the World.
“Hareinof Aleppo,” said Sir Philip Derval,
“had mastered every secret in nature which
the Kibler magic seeks to fathom. He dis
cov .red that the true art of healing is to as
gj, Nature to throw off the disease—to sum-
as it were, the whole system to eject the
-■nemy that has fastened on a part. His pro
cesses all included the reinvigoration of the
principle of life.”
In this the Eastern sage merely anticipated
the practice of the best physicians gf to-day.
What life itself is, nobody knew then—nobody
knows now. But we have learned something
of the reasons why the mysterious tide rises
and falls. Provided the great organs of the
body are not irreparably destroyed, medical
science can always relieve, and often save.
Yet no reputable physiciau now adheres to
the barbarous and stupid proces-es of deple
tion, such as bleeding, by which it was at
tempted to cure disease by reducing the pa
tient’s ability to resist it. Now-a-days we do
not tear down the fort to help the garrison—
we strengthen it.
In this intelligent and beneficent work, it Is
conceded that PARKER’S TONIC leads all
other medicines. As an invigorant it acts
immediately and powerfully upon the circu
lation and the organs of digestion, thus giving
Nature the assistance she calls for. It follows
that all ailments of the stomach, kidneys and
liver are at once relieved or cured. No other
preparation embodies the same qualities or
jiroduces similar results. It is delicious to use,
and the best known anti-intoxicant. Price
