WISE AND OTHERWISE
| It is a dangerous civilisation that
1 permits a man to falsely swear away
the good name of another and then
|go till whipped of justice. Jt is about
lime for the false witnesses, the liars
and tho perjurers to be looked after.
Our people should do their best to
have the Guorgia Midland railroad ex
.tended from McDonough to Coving
ton. We need this road and it would
be the best pitying railroad property
in the south, when the eost of con
struction is considered. Jt would not
require a very heavy outlay to byild
this line.
| Not only dealers, but everybody
else, are put upon fair warning that
j Hie Governor has signed the bill to
prohibit tho sale or furnishing of cig
arettes, tobacco or cigurette paper or
any substitute therefor to minors.—
4 here arc a great many cigarette
smokers among the minors of Coving
ton, and hereafter any one furnishing
Them with cigarettes—either by sale
or gift—is a violator of the law, and
subject to imprisonment for not more
than a year or tine of not exceeding
8i ,000, or both.
A. little past 10 o’clock last Satur
day night Mr. James Wilson, pf Jas
per county, died quite suddenly on
the streets of Covington. An inquest
was held and a vqnliot returned that
lie came to bis death from heart dis
ease. His body was shrouded, placed
in a neat coffin and carried to his res
idence by friends and relatives. He
was called here as a witness in court,
and appeared to be in good health up
to the time of bis death. He was per
haps 80 years of age and bail been
Coroner of Jasper county for more
than one-third of his life.
In January, 1886, Mr. Isham Kel
ly was shot on the road leading from
Starrsville to bis home, and died al
most immediately. Mr. Wm. .Simp
son was charged with the crime. He
fletl, was captured this year in Greene
county and brought to trial here last
week. He admitted the killing but
tiled a plea of self-defense. A jury of
his countrymen returned a verdict
of voluntary manslaughter. Hons.
J. M. Pace and L. L. Middlebrook,
of Covington, and Col. Fred Foster,
of Madison, defended the prisoner,
while Col. J. F. Rogers and Solicitor
General E. Womack represented the
state. The prisoner had not been
sentenced when we went to press.
On Monday last, Sept. 23. the fol

At the request of many citizens of
Newton and adjourning counties Col.
L. F. Livingston made an Alliance
speech to the public a,t Covington, in
the court house, on Sep. 22. There
was a largo crowd present and/or an
hour and a half t{ie Colonel ,enter
taiued and ejithused his audience. It
was a splendid effort, full of facta,
reason and logic. After <the speech,
I/on. John D. Stewart, our immedi
ate. Congressman, was called for and
responded with a twenty minutes talk
in which he related an auecdote or
two and jumped on the.tariff, trusts,
.combines and molopolies with both
feet. All in all the two hours recess
given by the coprt was pleasantly and
profitably utilized.
On Thursday, ,19th inst., Mr. W.
H. Wells, of Covington, was united
in marriage to Miss Minnie V. Calla

J. Bigham, of Augusta, officiated.
The ceremony came off at the home

TEMPERANCE.
EaV'Tliiit Dcpar’iiiKiit is uuder Oi con

The saloon tempts the weak, breads
crime, increases tuxes, is mi outrage
on public decency, and tills our jails
with .criminals. Down with it!
Heuutor Bluir says : Very few peo
ple have studied this subject. When
the American Nation lias thoroughly
done so, the liquor traffic will be pro
hibited as a great crime by all the
laws and forces of the nation and of
the atntcs.
Over 1,106 magistrates ill Ireland
hove signed a memorial complaining
of tho excessive number of public
houses as the cause of most of the
crime and poverty of Ireland. The
population has diminished by one half
through poverty, and there remains
to-day J. 7,000 public houses in the
country “in excess of the require
ments.” llow much would fill “the
requirement,” we wonder?
The new Earl of Carlisle is a strong
teetotaller, and so is Lady Carlisle.
Since he has had the management of
the estates as one of the trustees he
lias closed all the public houses on
the property. The cellar at I’astle
Howard contained some of the best
home-brewed ale iu England, mid the
brew-houses were famous everywhere,
but they ha,ve been entirely destroyed
and the vats emptied.
Says the London Christian World :
In England temperance is becoming
not only respectable but popular.—
Never belb.re has the cause found such
support from a lord iniaycg of Lon
don. The lord mayor of York is a
total abstainer of thirty years’ stand
ing. The mayor of Birmingham is
a life abstainer, as also is the mayor
of Ripod. The mayor of Stafford lias
a teetotal experience of 53 years and
the mayor of Sheffield 49 years.
