as to secure a practically complete poll.
To ineist that, practically, one-sided com
munities should be disfranchised would
bear with about equal hardship on both
parties. But there would be no justice in
it. A preacher might with as much con
sistency insist on turning out of his
church all those conservative, trustful
and satisfied members who go to sleep
luring the delivery of the Sunday ser-

The London correspondent of the New

Rome, comingifrom strongly Catholic be
lievers, state that the pope’s health is
wrelched. He can only walk aided by
several assistants. His voice at times
leaves him entirely, and the worst fea
ture is that it is all general debility, as
his holiness has really no disease. Hie
incessant hard work is rapidly telling
upon him, and his eighty years cannot
stand the constant strain. Uardinal
| Rompollo and Mgre Perrochi are the fa-
| vored possible successors. Italy is doing

i Felice, whoee noble work when Naples

I vorite, and is warmly supported by Car-

Two Dying States.
While Uncle Sam is extending his arms
to receive four new states,two of his chil
dren appear to be surely dying. The
condition of poor little Nevada is indeed
critical, and it appears that her only
safety lies in a union with polygamous
Utah, a thing which is not likely to be
accomplished. The 50,000infcabitants of
Nevada seem anxioue to bring about this
union, but Utah had rather remain a
territory that become a part of the dying
state.
The condition of Vermont appears to
be scarcely lese deplorable than that of
Nevada. The next census is likely to
show a decrease in the population of that
state. The following paragraph from the
Philadelphia Record will give some idea
of the existing state of affaire in Ver
mont:
The state is an agricultural state, but
the farming in Vermont does not pay.
The people who stay there are drifting
into the towns. Many farms have been
abandoned, the farm buildings and
fences are decaying, and the once culti
vated fields are gro * ing up in timber.
Farm lands that were worth a few years
ago §5 an acre can now be bought for
$2 or $3, and a serious effort is being
made to repopulate some portions of the
state by bringing into it a colony of
Swedes used to lives of hardihood and
strict economy. This is a sad story, but
it is not overdrawn.
A friend in Montgomery sends us an
interesting letter about Alabama politice,
but neglected to send his name along

Macon, Atlanta, Montgomery and
Birmingham are bragging about their
approaching fairs. Columbus set her
Bister cities a splendid pattern to go by
last year, and they can make their shows
a success by imitating her.
The democrats of Ohio and Virginia
have a chance to distinguish themselves
and do the whole country a service by
snowing under Foraker and Mahone
forever. These two men are biota upon
our nation. We trust they will be wiped
oat at the coming elections.
The Maryland republican convention
is called to meet October 1. It is eaid
the republicans of this state will make
a great effort to capture the next legisla
ture, as the members elected at the
coming election will elect a United States
senator, but as Senator Gorman will be
on the ground, we do not think there is
any cause for alarm by the democrats.
Ohio Democrats.
The action of the Ohio democratic
state convention at Day ton, yesterday,
was entirely harmonious. As was gen
erally believed, Hon. J. E. Campbell was
nominated for governor.
The platform promulgated by the con
vention is a most excellent document.
It is brief and to the point. With such a
I platform the success of the democratic
| party of Ohio may bs considered clearly
| half won. The first two sections of the
platform touch upon the tariff question,
and are a3 follows :
Section 1. The democracy of Ohio, in
convention assembled, approves the dec
laration of principles made by the na
tional democracy iu St. Louis in 1S8S,
and especially that part of it demanding
a reduction of tariff taxes. We will con
tinue to battle for tariff reform until the
cause of the people is triumphant.
Section 2. We regard trusts, in what
ever form organized, as a legitimate re-

J. M. Tift, of Albany, has discovered an
antidote for drought—at least ho claims
that plowing cotton seed into the ground
near the roots of the cotton plant has the
effect claimed.
Master Robert Perry, son of M. A. Perry,
of Ellaviile, came near bleeding to death

Taylor Davenport, formerly of Chat
tooga county, now of Cherokee countj,

At Elberton, a few days ago, Harrison
Wright, a negro bearing a very bad repu
tation, cut the throat of Wyatt Geeter,
another Degro, and it is feared that the
latter will die. They quarreled about a
woman.
In reaching to get his wife some bunches
of grapes, a few days ago, Hon. Gib
Arnold, of Miiton, fell across a rail and
fractured three of his ribs. The grapes
were not sour, and he got them any way.
He is able to be out now.
The State Agricultural Society at Ce
dartown, adopted a resolution requesting
Governor Gordon to set apart Taursday,
October 17, as a day of special thanksgiv
ing for bounteous Harvests and protection
from epidemics and destructive storms.
The State Farmers’ Alliance, at Macon,
adopted a similar resolution. Therefore,
throughout Georgia, on October 17, spe
cial thanksgiving service will be held.
At Brunswick, Saturday, a street car ran
over and badly injured Maggie Richards,
a negro child about two years old. The
child had been crawling about the street
in front of Godfrey’s blacksmith shop for
quite a while. No one paid attention to
it until its screams were heard. The car
was promptly stopped and the driver
rushed to the child, finding that two
wheels had passed over its hands, almost
severing them from the arms.
Mrs. F. B. Mapp, of Milledgeville, has a
cmiosity in the shape of a chair made in
a bottle. The bottle is a small square vial
with a very small neck, and holds about
tweiv«0Dunces. The miniature chair was
made by a young negro convict with a
pocket knife, and was put together, piece
at a time, in the bottle by the use of a
wire. The legs occupy eacn corner of the
bottle, and every part, rounds, the cross
pieces in the back, etc., are firmly fitted
together—adjusted as neatly as the works
in a clock.
Rome Tribune: One of the most inter
esting amoDg the visitors to Rome during
the past week was General J. A. Green,
now of Millidgeviile, but formerly of the
county of Floyd, and one of the largest
surveyor generals of the state of Georgia.
General Green was stationed in Rome by
the government during the time of the
Creek war in 1836, at which time there was
nothing but the original forest and a few
small shanties on the spot now covered by
the beautiful and populous city.

own business and offends no one, and there
can be no excuse for the commission oi
such an act. But it appears that Mr. Rob
erts is not the only person injured by these
night marauders. Tne brakes were taken
off of Mr. Henry Smith’s wagon, his har
ness tampered with and the horseB of
others turned loose, etc. The severest
punishment of the law should be visited
upon the perpetrators of such cowardly
acts.
The Philadelphia Record expresses the
opinion that “the argument that the rep
resentation of the southern states in con
gress should be reduced, because but a
email proportion of the electors cast
their votes ie very shallow. It is hard to
get out the vote of any congressional dis
trict north or eouth where the party in
the ascendant has a sure majority. Phil

ENGLISH SERVANTS.
Retainers and Shopkeepers Receive Tips
With Thanks.
The best domestic servants in the world
are undoubtedly to be found in England.
Nowhere else can suc-h thorough, trust
worthy and willing service be had. The
servants of the aristocracy in the middle
ages were a class apart and they have
remained so ever since. To-day a servant
in Great Britain considers himself of a
lower order of mankind than his master
and brings up his children in the same
belief. Humility is the creed. The
master—perhaps a drunken, sottish and
poverty-stricken gum bier, graced by
neither birth nor position—curses his ser
vant and flings his booijack at him. The
servant—who is as likely as not an intelli
gent, honest, frugal and temperate man-
dodges the bootjack, bows respectfully
and murmurs the perennial “Thank you,
sir.”
This quality of humility is met with
everywhere. Nothing is more amazing to
the American than the hauteur and arro
gance of a typical London man—or gen-
tleman.since the distinction is very sharp
in the English metropolis—when dealing
with people who serve him. He says
“Please do this” and I’ll thank you for
that,” because its the jargon of the town;
but his politeness is put forth with such
an indiscribable, arrogant air that it is
scarcely less offensive than a slap in the
face. It is accepted everywhere with the
inevitable “Thank you, sir.”
The old story is still good of the Yankee
who stood on the stern of the steamer as
she swung out of Liverpool and, holding a
shilling aloft, yelled: “If there’s a man,
woman or child on this blessed island
whom I’ve not tipped, come forward now,
for this is your last and only chance.” I
remember very well an experi
ence I had on my first day in Lon
don. I started out with a typical London
man to lunch at his club and we stopped
at a druggist’s—or chemist’s, as they say
in England, with the ch pronounoed softly
—to make some purchases. My compan
ion bought a few shillings’ worth of one
thing and another, and when his change
was brought to him he pushed two cop
pers towards the druggist and said care
lessly :
“ Heah, you take these.”
The druggist picked them up with a
grateful smile, and muttered: “Thank
you very much, sir.” It was a fine, large
shop on the corner below Bond street on
Piccadilly, and tbe druggist was a hand
some, full-bearded and perfectly dressed
man of about sixty years. Fancy making
the proprietor of a showy New York drug
store a present of a few cents.—New York

NOT ENOUGH GAS JO FLOAT IT.
A Balloon Story- that Failed to Rise Into
the Regions of Probability,
“I have been reading about that Chicago
balloon story,” said a toy dealer this
morning. “At first I did not know that
it was a reproduction of an Aprii fool sto
ry published by one of our papers, but of
course I knew it was not true. However,
a great many people don’t seem to recog
nize its absurdity, and I have had reason
ably intelligent customers comment on it
to me. Just let me prove why the yarn
must be a fabrication for the sake of those
who have not sense enough to see for
themselves. The story was that Sophia
somebody, who was two years old, was
standing near an Italian baiioou peddler
at a picnic who was trying to serve two
customers at once. The balloons escaped
from his grasp, and when the string by
which they were held caught Sophia by
the hair and left arm she was wafted up
about one hundred feet and floated
out over the lake. Her mother shrieked
and fainted, and a sharp shooter who was
competing at a rifle raDge rowed out on
the lake, perlorated balloon after balloon
with his trusty rifle, and when Sophia
fluttered down caught her in his boat and
replaced her in her mother’s arms.
“Now,” he continued, “if she was a
baby old enough and healthy enough to
stand the excitement of a German picnic
she must have weighed at ieast twenty-
five pounds. Now, the ordinary balloons
kept in stock by these picnic peddlers will
do little more than lift the thread to
which they are attached, so we must sup
pose that this particular peddler had
just arrived with a lot of first-class, ‘sixty
centimetre’ French balloons. As one
