THURSDAY, AUGUST 1, 1889.
A story eutitled “The Penniless Mai-
Men” has just been issued. It will have
fyery little interest for the modem youth.
Henry Grady was on a speechifying
pour last week, and it is said he “covered
Himself all over with glory.” Henry

lives glory about as well as any man

week, whether privately or

inored guest by the very peo-
igepusly misrepresented and
It shows how bitter their ani-
Jsity is towards the people of the south
ern section of the Union—shows how
ardently they desire the complete sub
jection of the southern whites to the
southern negroes. The hope of this Can-
field woman, expressed in her own lan
guage, is that she “may look down from
heaven on the spectacle of black heels
on white necks.” Wonder if it ever oc
curred to this pitiable creature that hea
ven is not inhabited by such contempti
ble wretches as the expressions in her
“private (?) letter to a friend in Topeka,
Kansas,” prove her to be? It is said that
Kansas, the home of the Canfield woman,
is the paradise of the negro and the negro
lover, which may account for her desire to
see “black heels on white necks.” But be
this as it may, all the harm we wish this
class of northerners is that they could be
made to associate with none but negroes
the balance of their days—that they had
to live with them, eat with them and
sleep with them. This would fix ’em!
It is estimated that the money used in
fingle year to foot the salary and ex-
lse bills of the traveling salesmen of
^United States would pay off the en-
national debt and leave a few dol-
llover.
lir is estimated that the wheat crop
this year will amount to at least 500,000,-
000 bushels, which leads an exchange pa-
w
year.” Just so; but it will not be unless
the wheat trust is squelched.
The telegraph announces a failure of
the great dry goods house of Lewis Bros.,
of Hew York and Philadelphia. 'The
liabilities are given at $4,200,000 and as
sets over $5,000,000. The assignment
caused great surprise in Hew York and
elsewhere.
^/■Slugger Sullivan is $19,600 richer
than just before he engaged in the fight
with Kilrain. That was the amount of
his winnings and his share of the gate
receipts. It is probable that he will
turn the most\*£ it over to John Barley
corn within a fewvmonths, and there is a
chance that he majr, deposit a little of it
with the Mississispi authorities.
BETTER TIMES AHEAD.
The “good time coming,” we have
heard so much about, seems to be just
ahead of us. The crop outlook never pre
sented a more encouraging aspect.—
Wheat has been harvested iu this section
and the yield'is the largest for several
years, and the indications now point to
an unprecedentedly heavy yield of corn
throughout Hortli Georgia. Fruit of ev
ery description is abundant and of an ex
cellent quality, and if properly taken
care of will be a source of considerable
revenue to our people. Hot only this,
but our farmers are nearer out of debt
than they have been since the war and
their farms are in -a better condition,
which is another healthy sign—another
indication that times will be more rosy
in a financial way than they have been in
a long while. And again, when we re
member that the present crop has cost
the farmers less money than any previous
crop in a number of years, and that the
indications are that cotton will bring
better prices at the opening of the sea
son than for several years past, we are
lead to believe that there are flush times
just {ahead for the farmer, the merchant,
six-shooter. One of the lots he has since'
sold for $1,100, and he is holding the six-
shooter lot for $1,500.
It is announced that a meeting will be
held in Hewport, on the first of August,
to organize the Wholesale Grocers’ Asso
ciation of theUnited States. The object
is declared to be to compel manufac
turers to divide the profits with whole
sale grocers and jobbers on certain classes
of goods, which the latter now handle
practically without profit.
A party of explorers unearthed a num
ber of human skeletons buried in Chalk
Bluff, ten miles east of Yankton, Dakota,
on the Hebraska side. Fifty skulls and
two hundred headless skeletons were
found, which local physicians pronounce
to be the remains of white people, chil
dren and adults. The indications are that
they have been buried forty or fifty years.
Further researches will be made.
ECHOES FROM THE FARM.
A few mornings ago the ground under
an elm tree in Brazil, Ind., was covered
with the dead bodies of English spar
rows, numbering several hundred. These
birds have been in the habit of congre
gating in immense flocks in this tree, and
it is supposed that they were all killed
by a single stroke of lightning during the
morning’s storm, as the bodies were en
tirely stripped of feathers.
THE STATE WE LIVE IN.
With the thermometer at from ninety
to a hundred in the shade, the President
and his Cabiuet officers are having a hot
time fighting off the office-seekers who
still swarm around the White House and
public buildings. It is said Secretary
Windom has been compelled to lock his
doors against them, and admits only
those who come with credentials.
the mechanic and all other classes of our
people. So mote it be!
Every newspaper reader has doubt

The may or of Hew York has asked the
aldermen to prohibit the playing of brass
bands in the city. He says they have
been driveu out of all the cities of Eu
rope, and within a short period have been
forbidden to play in many American
cities, including Boston, Baltimore, Phil
adelphia and San Francisco. The brass
band is undoubtedly a great nuisance, as
much so as the clanging of a half dozen
church bells at the same time.
Senator Wade Hampton, of South
Carolina, has just returned from a
month’s fishing in Canada. He says that
the Canadians are thoughtfully consid
ering the question of annexation. They
admit that there must be' some sort of an
ai*rangement between this country and
Canada in the near future that will bind
them more closely together. Senator
Hampton is an observer and his views
on this and other questions are valuable.
"YVlio ig Benefitted by Immigration.
It is admitted by everybody that we
need more people in this section. The
coming of more industrious people will
benefit all classes, and therefore every
body is directly or indirectly . interested
in immigration.
The coming of new settlers will benefit
the land owner, for it will increase the
price of land.
It will benefit the merchant, for it will
enable him to sell more goods.
It will benefit the lumber men and the
brick manufacturers, for- it will create
new demands for buildiner material.

It will benefit the banks, for there will
be more money transactions and more
money in the community.
It will benefit the doctors and lawyers,
for there will be more patients and
clients.
It will benefit the farmers, for there
will be a better market for all kinds of
products.
And it will be good for the city, county
and state, for it will reduce taxes.

On Thursday night a thief entered the
sleeping room of Dr. J. T. Davis, of Quit-

his pants pocket. On the same night
Postmaster Hubert’a watch was stolen in
very much the same way.
The report that Dr. Arnold would de

The greatest living wonder in Georgia
is reported from Swainesboro. There is
a negro working with Mr. John J. Roun

says he never has eaten a mouthful of
watermelon in his life.

been in continuous operation ever since
that date, and is now in a flourishing

The good people of Charleston are
making tilings very warm for Doctor
McDow. He has been expelled from the
city medical society and has been forced
to resign bis position as surgeon of a
military company, and also liis member
ship in the Washington battalion, one of
the crack military organizations of the
south. The process of freezing him out
of the city is receiving the encourage
ment of all good people. “The way of
the transgressor is hard.”
Figures published by the American
Iron and Steel Association make a very
gratifying showing for the south. The
production for the first half of 1889 was
the largest ever reported, although the
sales did not show a corresponding in
crease. The figures for the.first half of
18S9, as compared with the last half of
1888, show an increase of 221,895 tons.
About one half this increase came from
a single state in the south—Alabama.
The south is bound to get there.
A sea turtle ten feet long, five feet wide
and weighing 1,000 pounds, was caught

ten feet.

The republican papers are persistent
in charging that the democratic party is
a free trade party. Ho such declaration
has ever been made by that party. It
has simply demanded of the government
the relief of the oppressed masses from
unwise and. unnecessary taxation. In
the platforms of; 1876, 1880, 1884 and 1888
nothing is said about free trade, abso
lute er otherwise. The demand of the
party as thus voiced is for tariff for reve-
ue—an abolition of the privileges em-
d by the few at the expense of the

The people of San Francisco expect to
find themselves, ere long, at the end of
an ocean cable, the other end of which
will he fastened at Hawaii. To lay the
wire, which must be 2,6S0 miles long,

this sum the Hawaian government and
people will furnish a third.
Within a radius of six miles from Hum

vegetable crop about $150,000. This place
is also one of the largest nursery centers
in the south.

the parlor playing on the piano. She
played for some time, and upon stopping
to go into another portion of the house,
she saw lying coiled on the doormat an
enormous snake. The snake was lying
with its head on its coil watching the
piano, and there can be no doubt it had
been drawn into the room by the music.
