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. jiot rv a mack nr amy jika.ns. 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 suaded to come here und buy their (lour from our merchant mills. The talk about Columbus being in a sack is bosh. The Advertiser ought to keep up with the procession. government will tie in good hands. The I ! present lieutein.t governor is now Hll-1 ing his second term, having boon renom inated and re-elected by the democrats , about two years ago. He was a most competent speaker of the house, and us ■ president of tlie senate presided with signal ability. All around, South Caro lina is to he congratulated. 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 did Hot exclude bis appointment is a 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 pard the chief executive of tlie state.

This gentleman, the senior member ol the firni of Sheridan Bros., fresco artists 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 dwellings in every principal city of the south attest tlieir ability,energy and en terprise. “My system.” said Mr. Sheridan during a recent conversation, “had been for some time OKA III'AI.I.Y RUNNING DOWN, “J was not sick, in a general sense of the w<n'd. but my physical strength was feeling the severe strain I had been for years putting upon it in the active men tal labor necessary in the pursuit of my avocation. While 1 have not what is termed a delicate constitution, i am by no means a robust fellow, and have what 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 is as pure as spring water and my entire system revitalized. I have no hesitancy in saying that it is tlie best general tonic upon the market to-day.” JUDGE THOMAS I'ULLUM, now in his three score and ten years, and one of the most prominent men in Geor gia, born and raised near Union Springs, 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.” For sale by wholesale and retail drug gists everywhere.
