Senate will reduce the time and make
it go in effect July Ist.
An Arkansas editor, in retiring from
the editorial control of a newspaper,
said; “It is with a feeling of sadness
that we retire from the active control of
this paper; but we leave our journal

man well known in this community.
He is the sheriff.”
Up to this date the cost of the census
of 1880 aggregates the enormous total
of more than $5,500,000. If members
of Congress had not insisted upon fill
ing the census bureau with their indo

and female, the work of the census
would have been completed long ago
and at much less cost.
Death of General Pendleton.
Gen. W. M. Pendleton, Chief of Ai
tillery of the Army of Northern Vir
ginia, died suddenly on Monday' night
at his home in Lexington, Va., in the
seventy-fourth year of his age. Gen.

and trusted confident of Gen. R. E. Lee,
throughout all the mighty events from
1861 to 1865, and was his pastor and
spiritual adviser till the close of
Lee’s life.

By the latest figures of the Agricul
tural Bureau at Washington, it is re
ported the corn crop of 1882 is placed
at 1,635,000,000 bushels, and the yield
of wheat, at 510,000,000 bushels. Up
to 1879 the maximum yield of Indian
corn in this country (which occurred
tn that year) was 1,547,901,000 bush
els. "Last year’s crop by the above
estimate, exceed that of 1879 by eighty
seven million bushels, and falls only
about two hundred and seven million
bushels under the crop of 1880.
Report on tlie Crops.
The report of commissioner Hender
son on last year’s crops in Georgia,
says that the yield of all the products
in the State has been exceptionally fine,
except cotton, and even this has mate
rially surpassed that of 1881. The
yield ofjeorn, compared with that of
1881, is in north Georgia 128;in middle
GeorSia, 140; in southwest Georgia,
124; in east Georgia, 142; in southeast
Georgia, 119; and in the whole State,
133.
The average yield per acre in the
State is 13.3. An increase of 12 per
cent, in the area devoted to corn was
reported last spring, which is exclusive
of the later planting, which was con
siderable. The commissioner estimates
the total yield at 36,973,940 bushels,
and says it is the largest ever made in
the State.
The Commissioner reports a large
increase in the area of oats sown, much
more interest in this important crop,
and a better assurance of good crops on
account of the care taken to get rust
proof seed. The yield of oats compar
ed to that of last year is reported in
north Georgia, 123; in middle Georgia,
152; in southwest Georgia, 133; in
east Georgia, 141; in southeast Geor
gia, 117; and in the whole State, 137.
The report says:
“The yield per acre in the State has
been more than doubled, the area large
ly increased, from being one of our
most unreliable crops it has become our
most reliable, and is rapidly supersed
ing corn as a standard food for work
stock. Inquiry is now being made for
machinery for the preparation of oat
meal, and it will not be long before
Georgia will not only produce the oats
necessary to feed her stock, but will al
so supply her people with all the oat
meal they wish to consume.”
The average yield and price of oats
in the several sections of the State are
given as follows: North Georgia, yield
22 bushels per acre, price 50 cents;
Middle Georgia, 20 bushels, 53 cents;
Southwest Georgia, 16 bushels, 60
cents; East and Southeast Georgia, 15
bushels, 78 cents.
Of wheat, the Commissioner reports:
for North Georgia, yield compared with
that of 1881, 115, per acre 9 bushels,
price $1.10; for Middle Georgia, yield
121, per acre 9 bushels, pricesl.2B; for
Southwest Georgia, yield 89, per acre
5.06, price $1.37; for East Georgia,
yield 107, per acre 6 bushels, price
sl. 45.
A rapid increase in sugarcane plant
ing is reported, and an unusually large
crop of sweet potatoes was made.
The average yield in lint cotton per
acre in North Georgia this year is report
ed 221 pounds; in Middle Georgia, 186
pounds; in Southwest Georgia, 167
pounds; in East Georgia, 195 pounds;
in Southeast Georgia, 170 pounds, and
in the whole State, 190 pounds. The
report says:
“The condition of farmers compared
to last year is reported “better” by 3
per cent, of the correspondents. This
is due mainly to the fact that they
have produced this year an unusual
quantity of provision crops, and hence
feel, and really are, in better condition
now and are better prepared to make a
crop next year without the necessity of
paying the ruinous rates charged on
time purchases of farm supplies.”
An appalling story is that told in
Milwaukee about the late hotel fire hor
ror there. It is to the effect that the
proprietor of the hotel was in the hab
it of locking his women servants in
their bed-rooms to keep them honest,
and that when they discovered the fire
they were caged prisonors, for whom
there was no escape except by the win
dows. The friends of Mr. John F.
Antisdell, the proprietor of the hotel,
against whom this awful charge is
made, declare their belief in it. He
was, they say, an earnest Baptist, and a
man with a big heart,and did everything
in the world to keep his female servants
honest. The fact that he has become
insane since the fire, —they attribute to
this, declaring that he was not a man
who would allow the mere loss of prop
erty to turn his brain.
A Swiss engineer, named Fodor, at
present employed on a railway in Fin
land, has lately perfected a discovery
which, if all that is said of it be true,
will prove an immense boon to railway
coiupauies. The invention consists ot
an indicator of easy application to all
wagons and locomotives, whereby their
speed, and the number of stoppages,
they make, the duration of the stop
pages, and the times at which they are
made are exactly and automatically
registered. The apparatus has been
tried and its efficiency proved on a rail
way in Fiuland and on a part of the
line between Moscow and St. Peters
burg.
While a young woman, employed in
a store in Cincinnatti, was standing at
the door a young man passed by. He
bowed and smiled and so did the young
woman. Although they had never
met before, the young man proposed
that they should go to a matinee, and
the girl consented. Afterward the
youth proposed matrimony with such
a marked success that the two were
united before the sun went down.
Reports from Washington state that
the reciprocity treaty with Mexico has
already made considerable progress.
It is said that the proposed treaty pro
vides for the free importation into Mex
ico of che manufactures of the United
States, and the free admission into this
country of the raw material, products
and fruits' of Mexico. The effect of
such a treaty, so far as Mexico is con
cerned, would he to bring that country
under the tariff system of the United
States. Mexico would obtain the cot
ton and woolen and iron and steel man
ufactures of the United States on the
same terms with consumers in this
country.
Gen. Joseph Wheeler, of Alabama,
has been amply vindicated by his con
stituents. He was elected to the pres
ent Congress by a decisive majority,
but being a Democrat, was ousted from
his seat by a partisan majority to make
room for Col. Lowe, a Greenback Re
publican. Col. Lowe died a short time
ago, and now Gen. Wheeler has been
elected to fill the vacancy by a majori
ty of over 4,000, carrying every county
and nearly every election district. At
the November election Hon. Luke Pryor,
one of the most popular men in Ala
bama, was elected to the Forty-eighth
Congress by less than 1,000 majority
over the same competitor that Gen.
Wheeler has so badly distanced
The recent publication of the “Life
of Bishop James G. Andrew,” of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
has called forth from Hon. Henry W.
Hilliard a must beautiful and appro
priate tribute to that great and good
man. “I know him well,” says Mr.
Hilliard. “Awakened under his
preaching ; received by him into the
church : living for a time in his house,
meeting him often in after years ; en
joying a correspondence with him at
home and abroad—l knew him as a
man and a minister, as few living men
knew him. He was a man of very no
ble nature ; lie was a preacher of tran
scendent power.”
The dead sculptor, Clark Milis, made
copies of the Jackson statue for the city
of New Orleans and Nashville; he also
made the equestrian statue of Wash
ington which stands at the intersection
of Pennsylvania and New Hampshire
avenues, Washington. Probably the
last work on which he worked was the
model of Guiteau’s head, produced by
himself and son while the trial of the
assassin was in progress. He leaves a
widow, two sons, both sculptors, and a
stepdaughter, Miss Eva Mills, the well
known singer.
Voltaire, 120 years ago, said tha
“Before the beginning of the 16th cen
tury Christianity will have disappear
ed from tha earth. In 1880 the date
appointed for the extermination of
Christianity, there were 24,000,000
English speaking people, and of these
14,000,000 were Protestants, 5,500,000
Romanists and 4,500,000 professed no
religious belief. In 1881 there were
59,000,000 Protestants, 13,500,000
non-religious among the English speak
ing people.
The 47tli Congress of the United
States, in its second session, expires
on the 4th of March. Unless called in
special session the 48th Congress will
not meet until December next. The
Republicans have a majority in the
present popular branch of Congres, hut
the new Congress will be largely Dem
ocratic in the Lower House.
The Circus Disaster.
St. Petersburg, January 17.—The
loss of life by the burning of the circus
in Berditscheff on Saturday last was
riot so great as at first reported, but it
is believed that over one hundred and
fifty persons perished in the flames.
The fire broke out towards the end of
the performance and was caused by
the careless handling of fireworks on
the stage. The curtain became ignited
and the flames quickly spread to the
walls and roof. The members of the
orchestra were the first victims. The
audience, numbering eight hundred per
sons, rushed to the front door, but it
opened inward and as the crowd pressed
forward it was rendered useless. - A
rush was then made to the two side
doors, both of which were nailed up,
thus compelling the peoplo to take to
the windows, from which many sprang
into the street with their clothes a sheet
of flame. The Fire Brigade arrived
within half an hour, but it was impos
sible to extinguish the flames, as the
water in the tanks was frozen. The
fire lasted two hours. Eye-witnesses
say that when the doors were finally
opened a mass of burning people were
visible within. The horses and proper
ties of the circus were all destroyed.
“Guitcau the Second.”
Boston, Jan. 15.—The Mayor’s
Clerk sent to the post office this morn
ing for a letter retained there for pos
tage. The letter was postmarked Jan
uary 13th, and read as follows.
'‘Mayor Palmer : lam going to kill
old Governor Butler in five months and
twenty-eight days from to-day. Then
I will choose you for Governor of old
Massachusetts. I sent him warning.
I have sworn it. Charles Guiteac
the second.”
Chicaoo, Jan. 17.—Snow is nearly
two feet deep on a level here, with signs
of a farther fall.
GEORGIA NEWS.
Col. John Thompson, one of the
oldest citizens, and father-in-law of
Col. J. H. Estill, of the Savannah
News, died in that city the other
day.
Augusta, January 18. —Dr. and Mrs.
Durham and MrR. Shanks, of Thomp
son, Ga., were poisoned to-day by a
colored girl ten years old. The girl
was bound to Dr. Durham and in re
venge for punishment put poison in the
coffee at dinner to-day. The Doctor
is in a critical condition and the other
two are not out of danger.
The Savannah Nem says: “Capt
Catharine, of the steamship City of
Savannah, from New York, reports on
the 12th inst., 2 o’clock a. m., the dis
covery of anew comet ten degrees south
east from the belt of Orion. It is still
very dim, but plainly visible with a
marine glass.”
On Saturday night last Hon. Thom
as Crymes, a lawyer of Athens, com
mitted suicide by taking an-overdose of
morphine. The deceased was a victim
of the demon drink, and it is supposed
his sad end was caused by low spirits,
resulting from its excessive use. He
was at one time a Baptist preacher, and
represented Franklin county in the
Georgia Legislature. Of late years he
has been practicing law in Athens. He
leaves a wife aud several children.
The Atlanta Constitution says:
Governor Stephens has received a re
port from Mr. Parker, who went to
Augusta and Millen to investigate the
case against Harrington Williams, the
colored man who surrendered himself
to the governor, and said that he was
suspected of connection with the burn
ing of Millen. Mr. Parker reports
that the negro is not suspected, and
never has been, and that he is not
wanted for any crime at either Augusta
or Millen. The fellow is probably in
sane.”
Marietta Journal: It is said in the
yard of the Dnncan place, now owned
by Mr. R. Hirsch, there is buried $25,-
000 in gold. During the war an army
officer died, and before- he breathed his
last, he informed his friends that while
in Marietta he buried the amount
named at the place stated. We learn
that some of the friends of the dead of
ficer came back since the war and were
denied the privilege of digging for the
hidden treasure. Efforts to find the spot
have proven futile.
Kingston, Ga., January 15. — A sad
report reaches here of a poor white wo
man and her three small children who
were found to-day frozen to death in
the woods, between here and Atlanta.
The woman and one child were stone
dead in the snow, and the other two
were gasping in the last agonies of
death. Their names are unknown,
and no one knows whence they came or
whither they were going. They were
clothed in rags, and their features were
.pinched as if by long suffering from
hunger.
Atlanta Constituton : The grand
jury of Bibb county have taken the fol
lowing very sensible view of the suf
frage question. During the last gen
eral election quite a number of illegal
votes were cast and some thirty true
bills therefore were found by the grand
jury against the parties They say
in their presentments: “We find that
an idea exists amongst white and color
ed that all that is necessary to vote
any election is to have paid the taxes
for the year preceeding the election;
and we suggest that the only sure way
to prevent a recurrence of any illegal
voting, no matter whether through ig
norance or intention, is for the courts
to urge upon the Legislature to adopt
a general registration law, similar to
that which exists in the city govern
ment of Macon. Another plan would
he to make the Tax Receiver the man
ager of registration, who should be re
quired to keep open at his office a
special book for the purpose of register
ing at any time up to five days before
an election all those who are qualified,
and then furnish election managers
with printed lists, whose duty it would
be to allow only those on tlie lists to
vote.”

A Successful Scoundrel.
About two months ago there ap
peared in the vicinity of Pine Log, in
this county, seemingly a pleasant
young man, who, by hjs glib tongue
and elegant manners, got himself into
the good graces of the honest people of
that community. He hired to a far
mer for $8 per month, and seemed to
conduct himself properly. Being sin
gle, so far as learned, he was not averse
to the soothing influences of Cupid’s
charms, which he soon fell a victim to.
He met, loved and won a popular
yonng lady whose name we withhold
from the public on account of the res
pectability of her family A marriage
was had, and everything seemed to
go on smoothly for a week, when the
young adventurer and scoundrel seem
ed to tire of connubial bliss.—He ap
proached his father-in-law, and told
him that he was compelled to return to
his home in Dawson countv to dispose
of some land, and said that he would
be back in a week or so. The unsus
pecting father-in-law loaned him a fine
mule, and gave him $l5O to purchase
another one with. He left one day
last week and up to the present time
the bride-groom, the $l5O and mule
have not been heard from. We sym
pathize with the unhappy father-in
law in this sad state of affairs. He is
one of our most respectable citizens
and this calamity is greatly to be de
plored.— Cartersville Free Press.

Startling and Distressing Death.
A few days ago a startling and dis
tressing death occurred in Colquitt
county, neaAhe Thomas county line,
and in the neighborhood of Murphy’s
precinct. It was on the occasion of
the marriage of Mr. James White and
Miss Deliah Anderson. Rev. Elijah
Blackshear officiated, and all had pro
ceeded happily and well until the con
clusion of the service. Jnst as the rev
erend gentleman, however, pronounced
the happy pair man and wife, he fell
over into the arms of a bystander—dead.
Naturally this sad termination of
the marriage festivities excited wide
spread consternation, and wherever the
news of the sudden taking-off of the
respected divine was told it created a
genuine sensation. The scene of the
deplorable event was immediately
changed from one of hjpjdness to one of
mourning, and sincere grief was depict
ed on every countenance. The deceas
ed was a worthy man, highly respected
in the community which he lived and
was known. Heart disease is presumed
to have been the immediate cause of his
sudden demise. —Thomanville Enter

The Chronicle and ConstitutionalistV
is rapidly approaching tlie completion of the/
first century of existence. The paper we
publish is essentially a type of modern prog
ress, which demonstrates that this establish
ed journal has become better and stronger
as it increases in years. The men who have
from one generation to another, worked
upon it, ana helped to make it a power in
tlie land, submit, and will submit, to the
common lot of humanity and pass away from
this earth and its struggles, but the result
of their labor remains, and will continue to
remain. The workmen die, hut the worki’
goes on. /
The Chronicle of to-day is an improve
ment upon the Chronicle of the past. The
Chronicle of the future will be an im
provement upon the Chronicle of to day.
The world moves, and the paper moves with
it. Wonderful inventions, in the last half
century, have given an impetus to all mate
rial things, and the press has shared in the
advantages of great discoveries, just as it
has also stimulated them. Tlie Chronicle
has spared no pains or expense to furnish
the public with the news of the day from
all parts of the world, and it will take pleas
ure and pride in perfeciing this service from ,
time to time. The Chronicle has endeav
ored to take high and noble views of public,
policy, and to sustain all good and just:
causes. t
The Chronicle has essayed to encourage
virtue and to make the lot of man and wo
man al! tlie brighter and better for the com
mon weal. The Chronicle strives to be a i
newspaper in the best sense of the term,and
to advance, in that mission, the interests of
all the people. The conductors of tlie paper
cannot and do not expect to be infallible
any more than they expect to please every
body. In all human affairs mistakes of
judgement will occur and contests of opin
ion will arise We will, however, mightily
strive to commit as few errors as possible,
and to enter such conflicts as cannot be
avoided with a proper spirit.
The Chronicle enters the new year with
exceptional advantages. Its daily edition is
a well-filled eight-page paper. Its second
edition, for the evening mails, is eight pages,
with the afternoon markets and telegraphic/
reports. It takes the place of the tri-weekly j
edition. Its mammoth weekly paper will
compare with any in the country. Into this
edition the choicest and creamiest news Of
the week is collected, and upon its lap the
best and freshest editorial and miscellane
ous matter from tlie daily is poured. Its
market reports, covering nearly one page,
will be an especial feature, prepared each
week for the country reader.
Its news service will be sustained by train
ed and scholarly correspondents in the three
capitals—Atlanta, Columbia and Washing
ton—while it will strive to have a news rep
resentative in every neighboring town.
The mail facilities of this paper are now
superb. Four daily trains distribute its edi
tions in South Carolina and three in Georgia.
It readies all tlie principal points in South'
Carolina early on the day of publication-,!
reaching Columbia at 11 A. M. The fad*
mail schedule of the Georgia Railroad lands
the Chronicle and Constitutionalist in
all towns along the line early in the fore
noon, while its issue is unfolded in Atlanta
and Athens by noon each day.
