-Judge Hazlerigg. of Virginia, lias set
iSiis jwlitieal hretlirenun example worthy
•of emulation. He was a candidate in
the contest for common pleas judge in
4iie Richmond district. Judge llazle-
>rigg conscientiously felt that lie had re-
•ceavod tile nomination hy the democrats
in a fair and legitimate way. The com-
• mlttee decided against him and Mr. Scott
was announced as the candidate. .Judge
ftJl t ar.lerigg and liia friends were unwilling
‘tooki-ueedo tliis and so lie also became a
candfdtfte, claiming the nomination.
The situation, with two democratic can-
oSidates, was (piite favorable to the re
publicans, who had only one candidate
in the field anti upon whom they were
centering the entire strength of the
part';. The result was inevitable defeat
- for democracy.
hit was at this juncture that the judge
•demonstrated his patriotism. He exer
cised 1£he manly conduct of sacrificing
personal ambition to secure the unity
pint! success of democracy in the district
end withdrew from the race. Tliis ac
tion lias not only made him many friends,
hut has awakened a universal sentiment
• of kindness and good feeling, ami an era
«jf unity and peace lias come to gladden
democratic hearts.
•Under such circumstances as existed in
Virginia it required more than the act of
.a jKililieian to pursue the course taken
by Judge JJa/.lerigg—it was that of a pa
triot and statesman. The campaign
ayes such as to have drawn strong per-
•sonal antagonisms into it. hut seeing the
danger and disaster that threatened his
party, lie arose equal to the emergency
And surmounted them all. If political
..campaigns were more frequently con
ducted by men possessingthis spirit,there
would he less occasion for the hard feel-
.ing and personal animosities so constant
ly arising from them. The great trouble
is that a very large majority of the poli
ticians who seek an oliiee “go in to win,"
.-is they term it, and they are unmindful
if tlie results so their purpose is achieved
old their ambition satisfied.
■We have an illustration of the had ef
fects of personal polities in tlie present
•gubernatorial nice. There are democrats
;in all parts of the stub—not of the Hr.
3'elton order, hut men who have been
ife-long democrats—who are reported
os sayiuu that they will not support (loti-
don if lie is nominated, w hile on the
••other hand there are those who will not
support I'aeon if lie is the nominee. This
is indeed a bad state of allairs, and it lias
been made so hy tlie candidates them
selves. Tlie people are not responsible
Tor it. Tlie candidates, each in his eager
ness to flay tlie other, introduced per
sonalism in tlie campaign, which, once
started, passed far beyond their wishes
•or control. We believe that one of tlie
two gentlemen named will receive the
nomination and that he will be triumph
antly elected, hut this does not relieve
■candidates or politicians from the respon
sibility which rests upon them.

In the article taken from our neighbor,
te Montgomery Advertiser, in regard to
Me Columbus and Montgomery short
:,ne, it will lie seen that the editor of that
, aper has seen lit to state that “Colum
bus i- in a sack—-without connections,
, \-eept by Die (ieorgia Central.” Now.
•ve put our neighbor upon notice that
.iie people of ('ollimbus do not allow any
body else to indulge in such
personalities. We reserve to our-
- elves the exclusive privilege of
underestimating our own advantages.
If, however, we are to he Jpnt into
: something, then we decidedly prefer a
■ -ark to a bottle. We are very sensitive
I about allusions to being bottled up; it
! reminds us so vividly of the unfortunate
predicament of Ben Butler at Hutch Hap.
There are no Much unpleasant assoeia-
I I ions connected with “sacks.” We have
never been presented with one, and have
never know n ofanybodv being put into one
I except our old friend Major Jones, and
, Dial was a Christmas sack. But one taut
! manage to breathe through a sack and
1 may succeed in working a hole in it or
I even untying it und getting out, whilst
to he in a bottle is to lie cut oft’from all
| avenues of escape. And in tliis case,if our
neighbor will consult a map, lie will
I lind that there is a very large hole in the
; bottom of the sack, through which there
Hows the Chattahoochee river. This
river does not as yet belong to the Geor
gia Central, and by it Columbus does
connect both with Savannah, Fernandina
and New Orleans. By some of
these routes we have been receiv
ing New York goods at less than half
Die rates given to Montgomery, and, if
we are not misinformed, some of the mer
chants in Montgomery have actually
been shipping goods froui New York up
tliis river and through tlie hole in the
sack into Columbus and tlienee by rail.
Now we do not desire to play Die part of
"dog in tlie manger” and close up the
hole in our sack against 'Montgomery,
hut we do say that our neighbor ought
not to pretend an ignorance of tliis im
portant avenue to his or our city. We
may get mad and stop up the hole and
leave our neighbor entirely at the mercy
of tlie Louisville and Nashville and the
Georgia Central.
Perhaps tins new road to he built is
intended to put our neighbor upon an
equality with Columbus, by connecting
either with,the Chattahoochee river, tlie
Kansas City through line, the Georgia
Midi and, or all of them.
But in all seriousness, Columbus is no
longer in a suck, in a bottle, or penned
up in anyway. The river, as we have
stated, knocks the truth out of such a
statement, if we had no other means of
escape. Then there is tlie Georgia Mid
land, which will soon give us nn outlet
and an inlet to the east. When tliis is
constructed a Palace Pullman sleeper
will be hitched on at Columbus and un
hitched in New A'ork. Tlie extension of
tlie Columbus and Western gives us a
through train to Kansas City, and when
tlie Columbus and Montgomery Short
Line is built, we will allow Montgomery
to ship over our trunkline with a slight
advance above (V ilumbus rates. I f tlie vean
buy Hour at one or two cents per hundred
lower, as is now the case between Mont
gomery and Columbus, they may he per

The talk about Columbus being in a
sack is bosh. The Advertiser ought to
keep up with the procession.

! present lieutein.t governor is now Hll-1
ing his second term, having boon renom

about two years ago. He was a most

Iltirrharri** Parrot.
An exchange says:* “Mrs. Burohard’s parrot
I was sitting in the open window at Kankakee,
i Illinois, when a hawk swooped down on it. The
I twe fell to tin earth and a sharp tight followed,
I in which the hawk found he had his match. The
| parrot as he fought culled for help, and Mrs.
( Burchard came to the rescue of her pet with a
| potato masher and mashed the hawk. The par-
I rot was none the worse for wear, and said at once, >
I ‘Polly wants a cracker ’ ’’
i This Burchard parrot story does well enough ,
I for an off year. But we know one worth two of
i that—one that has gone into history Not many
j months ago a man named Blaine had a presi
dential boom which he was running against the
{ current, while another man named Steve Elkins
i furnished the wind to propel it. While naviga-
! ting the boom in New York one day they ran it
! afoul of a Burchard parrot loaded with tliree big
j It’s, and the parrot exploded. Relic hunters are
now searching for Blaine and Elkins and flag- ,
| menu of the boom.
Arlesian Water.
“Charleston thinks it has the best drinking
water in tlie world. The water is obtained fYom
its artesian wells and has, it is claimed, extraor
dinary medicinal qualities—curing malaria, rheu
matism and other diseases. It is predicted that
a great new method water-cure sanitarium will
be erected in that city in the near future, and
that hundreds of invalids will go there and re
new their youth. Atlanta can no longer lay ex
clusive claim to the possession of the rejuvenat
ing fountain.—Savannah News.
Charleston has four hundred barrooms which j
are open every day in the year. The discovery of •
this valuable water is another proof that nature |
abhors a vacuum. There is room for the water
in Charleston. But it is discouraging to hear
that the Charlestonians have decided to try it on
their invalid visitors first.
Congressmen Davidson and Dougherty, of
Florida, would do well to look after their fences.
The people are well satisfied with both members,
but the politicians are planting bombs, and there
may be an explosion when the conventions meet.
Davidson is closing his fifth and Dougherty his
first term.
A Boston woman has started on a tour around j
the world with nothing to protect her but her I
face and twenty-nine dogs. Her friends think I
the dogs are superfluous.
A correspondent wrote to the editor of the
Rome Courier, to ask how editors generally spent
their leisure hours. The reply was “in catching
up with their work.”
The chief need of North Carolina is said to be )
a dozen or two sound savings banks. Planters
and others are seriously inconvenienced by the
paucity of these institutions, and desire men of
capital to supply the want. It is not a gloomy
sign, as some of the papers seem to think, that
such a want should be felt; in fact, it is the re
verse. The trade of the state is constantly in
creasing, and the banks will come before long in
obedience to the law of supply and demand. A I
year or two more and the same complaint will j
probably not be heard.
It is reported that Sunset Cox iutends to give
up his Turkish mission in the fall and run for
congress. When that distinguished statesman
retired from the halls of legislation the business
men of New York realized that they had suffered
a loss; but not until his successor, Tim Campbell,
appeared in full feather did they realize the ex
tent of their misfortune.
Ex-Gov. Hoadly volunteers the cheerful in
formation that under the present apportionment
the Ohio democrats are sure of six congressmen.
Under the one in existence two years ago they
had eleven members.
In the big woods, through which runs a fine
trout stream, in Connecticut, a single big wild
cat has more thoroughly protected the fish than
all the laws and officials of the state.
Ben Butler is said to bank annually from sev
enty-five to a hundred and twenty-five thousand
dollars as the net proceeds of his law practice.
(.OVKRNOK THOMPSON ANH Ills APPOINT
MENT.
Our dispatches of Wednesday an
nounced the very gratifying intelligence
that President Cleveland had appointed
(iovernor Thompson, of South Carolina,
assistant secretary of the treasury. I’n-
der ordinary circumstances this is a very
important position, hut the fact that Sec
retary Manning is disqualified hy ill-
health from active duties, makes the
place which (iovernor Thompson has
been selected to till, one of the most im
portant offices under the government.
Hi* lias control of all appointments under
the treasury department and has charge
of tlie most important divisions and bu
reaus of the service. The appointment is
conspicuously complimentary, as it par
takes more of the nature of a cabinet po
sition.
The appointment of (Iovernor Thomp
son is a happy one for several reasons,
and the president is to be congratulated
on his selection, lie is one of the ablest
men in the state, and while he has
been prominent in state* a flairs and in
educational and other interests of tlu*
state, he has not boon regarded as a
politician in the common acceptance
of tin* term, lie is a man of ability
und is eminently qualified for the im
portant duties he* has been selected to
perform.
This selection demonstrates further
that President Cleveland iveogni/.es no
boundary lines in perfecting the ma
chinery of his administration, (iovernor
Thompson was not chosen on account of
the locality from which lie* comes, but
that the* fact of his being a southerner

subject of congratulation for the whole
country. His merits won the admira
tion of the president and gaine*d for the
American people an appointment not
swayed one way or the other by preju
dice or bias.
(iovernor Thompson lias signified his
intention to accept the position. This
will make Lieutenant Governor Shep

and decorators, of Atlanta, Ga., is agon-
nine yankee bybirtlqbuta southerner by
choice and adoption. Born in the puri
tan city of Providence, R. I., 31 years ago,
at an early age lie turned 11is attention to
art. He"is by nature an artist, and his
years of study and tuition in eastern cities
have developed him into one of the fore
most voting decorators of his time. Some
vears ago he came south to decorate the
Interior of the Church of the 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 hy his brothers,
F. It. and George, and churches and Hne

feeling the severe strain I had been for
years putting upon it in the active men

avocation. While 1 have not what is

might lie called the ‘New England mold.’
physically. For some time past I had
been losing vigor, when my attention
was called to Huiiiiieutt's Rheumatic Cure
as a tonic and strengthener of the sys
tem. I began using it about four weeks
ago and since that time have gained eight
and a half pounds in weight. Mv blood

now in his three score and ten years, and
one of the most prominent men in Geor

Ala., where lie amassed quite a fortune
by strict integrity and honesty, and in
later veal's connected with the wholesale
drug house of Pemberton, Pullum Ac Co.,
of Atlanta, Ga., and now a citizen of that
city, said a few days ago in tlie 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 tliis 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 her case incurable.
“Tlie effect was magical;the pains have
entirely vanished; the swelling and dis
tortion of her joints has disappeared, and
the disease has been, 1 verily believe,
eradicated from her system. She is still
using the medicine as a precautionary
measure, and her general good health is
being restored by it. I can honestly and
fearlessly recommend Hunnicutt’s Rheu
matic Cure as the best medicine for rheu
matism and the blood upon the market.”
