JUDGE HALL is DEAD.
Hon. Samuel Hull, one of the Jus
tices of the HU] remc cou t of the
■ tatoof Georgia, died at his summei
home at Mt. Airy, Saturday night,
Aug. 27th, His death was not tin
expected, for his lust stroke of paral
ysis was of sneh a serious nature
that the public wis notified that no
hope of his ultimate recovery could
be expected lie was a good man.
May he rest sweetly. It now becomes
the duty of the legislatuio to elect
bis successor, and who the lucky
man will be time alone must tell.—
There will be a number of candi
dates for the high and honorable po
eition.
RIOT IN DECATUR
A most unfortunate and fatal trag
edy occurred in Decatur Saturduy
last. A large crowd of colored peo
ple were holding a Sunday school
4 tel v iabration in that town, and during
the scrvj.ce.s a drunken negro, by the
tiamc of Wesley Hubert becamo bois
terous to such an extent that the
Marshal was instructed by somo cf
the law abiding colored people to ar
rest him. Some of the friends of
Hubert defied the officer and a fight
ensued in which Marshal J. E. Hurst
was killed and ex-marshal T. H. Chiv
e's was seriously if not fatally
wounded. Wesley Hubert was also
killed. It was a riot which created
great excitement und which the good
people of DeKalb deplore. Several j
negroes who instigated and took!
f>art in the bloody affair have been
arrested and placed in jail. In
speaking of tlio affair the Atlanta
Constitution says: The tragedy at
Decatur Saturday has but one les
son. It is a man with a pistol in his
hip pocket and liquor in his head. —
Result—three men killed. There
was no nvee feeling in the issue. A
negro who went to a Sunday-school
picnic felt it necessary to stuff his!
pistol into his hip pocket. In a
drunken rage he pulled his pistol ‘
and began flourishing it. The ue- j
gi*oes themselves appealed to the \
marshal to arrest the disorderly rut- ,
fian. In the molee that followed
three men were killed. That is all
there is of it. The race instinct 1
may be inflamed and move serious re
sults may follow. But at present
everything goes Wu'k to the hip pock
et. If the negro had been unarmed,
as he should have been, his own com
rades would have cracked his head
and compelled him to obedience, and
the marshal would not have been
called in. As long as men, white or
black are permitted to load them
ielves down with pistols when they
go to Sunday-school picnics and else
where, we may expect our weekly
qu'Ota of such tragedies as the one at
Decatur.
The mosquitoes are getting more j
uuraejous and voracious since tlie ;
freshet.

God bless our Grandinathers! We!
all love the young folks of course, i
but for good solid comfort give us '
the steady unwavering love of the
old grandmother as she watches over
the health of the household, admin
istering when needed to the little
ones a dose of White's Cream Ver
mifuge because experience taught
her it is the best worm medicine ev
er made.
The Conyers Solid South has this
to say of Judge Boynton's charge to
the grand jury of Rockdale county,
last week; ‘‘His interpretation of
Orir prohibition act was in accordance
with the views of many of our best
citizens, but no judge heretofore has
so construed, or if he did, has not
so charged the jury. He charged
the jury that, if a man took money
for whiskey in this county then went
out of the county and bought it, re
turned ami delivered it in this coun
ty that it was a violation of the law.
If a contract was made for whisky
in this county and the whisky was
delivered, the law was violated.”
The Covington Enterprise i- truly
n enterprising journal. The young
man who edits in brother Hawkins
absence does not hesitate to appro
priate another editor’s sayings, a? his
own. He drew liberally on the edi*
torial columns'of the Chronicle last
week, but forgot to give us credit.
Toat fair, brother.—DeKalb Chroni
cle. We regret that brother Hanes'
“thunder” was aired through these
columns without proper credit, and
have instructed our devil to
credit the t hronicle with all items
clipped from its columns. It grieves
us to say that many of our fiiends
told us, after reading the aforesaid
-editorial clippings, stolen from the
dir inicle, that they world quit the
business uide-s they could get better
“stuff” than that ‘to fill up with.”

Editorial Notes.
The amount annually expended for
' benevolent purposes in New York i
j ostininted at about #7 500,000. Thoro
are 320 charitable societies and insti-
I tutions.
A school inspector, finding a class
heHitating in answering the question
“With what weapon did Samson slay
the I’liilihtians?” and wishing to
prompt them, significantly tapped
his own cheek, and asked: “What
is this?” The whole class instantly
answered: “The jawbone of an ass!”
The Jacksonville, Fin., News Her
ald thinks the burning of the old
i Oathodiid ut SI. Angusline, although
I widely deplored on account of the
historic value and romantic associa
| tions of the structure, is in one sense
! a fortunate event, since it has served
! to bring to light several vaults and
; inscriptions beneath the ruins, and to
, unearth some valuable records “cov
j eiiug a period about which very lit
tle has been known.”
Says the Marietta Journal : “All
a cheeky rascal has to do is to come
into a community and make a grand
display, scatter money lavishly,
though stolon, every light-headed
girl in town adores him, and society
throws open its palatial doors and
bids hhu wetoome, although nothing
is known of his past life or charac
ter or standing, while an honest gen
tlemanly mechanic, well known at
home, with good character, is ignor
ed aud given the cold shoulder. All
is not gold that glitters, and fools
are upt to get caught when they bite
a naked hook.” Guess many a lady
who is minus a husband and Borne
money knows bow it is.
How to get rid of rust in cotton
is a big question in these parts at
present, and the Camilla Clarion says
it is the simplest thing in the world.
Make the ground rich. You plant a
small area in catio and make it rich.
Why? Because you can raise cane
in no other way. The same is true
of melons and garden truck. How
long will it take our farmers to learn
that cotton on thin land is liable to
rust and doesn’t pay ? If a man has
four hundred dollars to spend an
nually in raising cotton, who does
not know that instead of spending
all for labor on a big field it is better
to spend half of it on his good spot
and devote the other two hundred
dollars to making his land rich?
There is money in cotton at nine
cents on land made rust proof by
manure. There is a heavy loss in it at
15 cents on land which only makes
a bale to four or five acres. Far
mers think a minute. Concentrate
manure and labor on a few acres and
go to work to improve the rest. Res t
fanners, anil home made manure will
do it —Augusta News.
The News and Advertiser com
mends the following truthful distinc-:
tion between Southern and North
ern methods of treating the negro j
question. The black man enjoys per
fect equality with the whites before
the law at the South, but will forev
er be denied social equality. The
blacks have all the rights of cultiva
ting their social institutions that the
whites have, without molestation,but
Ihe two streams must forever flow
unmixed. The Chicago Herald says;
“The difference between the North
and the South in this regard is that
here the negro enjoys perfect equal
ity in theory and no equality in fact,
while at the South both fact and the
ory agree in denying him equality
and relegating him to a sphere by
himself. This he knows and under
stands and ho expects nothing else.
Asa consequence the Northern ne
gro, being actually barred out of any
j social commerce with tire Northern
white, and not being spcciffically en
couraged to improve himself on his
own account and by his own means,
does nothing. He is an outcast, and
knows it. At the South, on the con
trary, he has his own society, and
I wishing or expecting no other, he
! has improved it and improves him
self in consequence. Northern sen
! timents is visited by a moral color
blindness which amounts to hypocii
[ sy, that does no one any good and
! does the negroes mnch harm.”
