Col. Huff in retiring from the

farewell address. This is rather
unusual but we cannot say it is in

There comes up a faint bow]
yet for Tilden. Won’t they let
the old man aloDe until the Coro

The long lawsuit between Huff

Markham house has been fettled
and the old man will soon hare
charge of his hotel again.
After all the training and hur

Rome bad a galla day last Fri

were in camp in that ciiy and on

Gov. McDaniel and his staff. The
festivities of the day wound up
with the inevitable walking match
The price of Jersey cows is rap
idly declining. The fancy prices

The New York Sun has stuck a
hole in the Clearland boom. It

Ed Mercer, of dtlant, has had
John H. James arrested ou two

against Col Candler. In that
case we shall not look for a major

Candler. //owever, if the organ

We hope ibey will not lay that
heavy burden upon Bro Clement,
lie has been full of aches aid
pains for years and it would be
real cruel to trot him out as a sac
rifice, just for the privilege of
holding a little post office. Why
don t they trot out your Uncle
Pete ?he geis a good salary, and
then his hide is as tough as a rhi
noceros and the missels that will
be let fiy during the carnpai -n
will glide off of him like pouring
water on a duck’s back
Congress
Cotgress was in the throes of
dissolution last week. The Dem
crats wanted to get off to go up
to tje grand rally at Chicago,
which assembles to-day. Wnile
tbe Republicans were anxious to
be at home looking after their
prospects to be returned to Con
gress. It was expected that the
session would close on the 4tb,
inet. but when the day of inde
pendence came there were a turn
t>er of the appropriation bills, nec
essary to carry on the machinery
of government undisposed of, and
the two houses were at logger
heads over a number of appropria
tione.
There will hardly be a quorum
left in either house this weak, and
if an adjournment was not reach
ed Saturd*y night, the probability
is that there will hardly be enough
members left to adjourn. Many
of the most important measures
pending will have to go Over to
the December session. Among
them is the Mexican pension bill,
tbe bill to provide a postal tele
graph system, au'homing the
I’ost Master Geueral te arrange
with the various telegraph compa
nies for cheap rates, and in the
event this cannot be done, to lease
or construct telegraph line* for
this purpose.
The House is clipping off the
extravagant items of expense and
high salaries which were put on
the various bills by the Senate,
and seems determined that no
fond shall be left lying around
loose to be used by the adminis
tration for campaign purposes.—
Sam Randall and Holemaa w/.tch
every appropriation with jealous
care, and have exploded many nice
little schemes that were expected
to slip thiough in the hurly-burly
of the closing hours.
The Presidents Veto
As ws bavs remaiked hereto
fore, Chester A Arthur is a very
small man to be the Presidtut of
a great Republic. fle is a mere
tool of a c able of partizans, wio
assume to control the party, and
succeed at least in leading the
President around by the aose. He
has no independent opinions and
is the cat’s paw that these wily
old politicians use to pull ches
nuts out of the tire.
The latest example of his little
ness was his veto of the bill for
the relief of Filz John Porter,
Which had passed both houses of
Congress. It is now conceded by
all fair minded men, Gen tfrnnt
among the number, that great in
justice was done this officer.
That he was convicted by a parti—
zan court martial and upon a state
of facts which subsequent develop
ments show were all wrong.
And yet when the bill had passed
a Republican Senate, to grati
fy the spleen and vindictive parii
zanship of certain leaden,. he ex
ercises the vete power which can
not be sustained before an intelli
gent public.
This President jj accident,
had quietly glided along in the
routine of official duties, and
could have retired from the high
office with ihe tacit approval of
ibe country, because he had done
nothing. He will now pass down
to posterity as the mere tool of a
vindictive wing of Radioals.
The Ceorzia Delegatee
The Georgia delegation to the
National Democratic Convention
assembled in Atlanta last Fr iday
on thei- way to Chicago. At a
meeting called at the Markham
House, Gen. A R Lawton of Sa
vannah, was elected chairman of
the delegation. They expected t*
arrive on Sunday morning.
Happening to be in the city at
at the time, we improved the oc
casion to ta/k with a number of
the delegation as to the outlook.
We found a very marked change
in their views since the conven
tion adjourned. At that time,
nearly me entire delegation were
confident that Cleveland would
be the nominee, and he would
have received three fourths of the
votes, but recegt developments as
to the opposition to Cleveland in
New York, hae unsettled the confi
dence in his receiving anything
like a unanimous support from his
own state.
The general feeling was one of
uncertainly. Gen. Lawton is for
Bayard and two thirds of the dale
gates prefer him, but are appre
hensive that ha is not available
now. Upon the action of tLeNew
York delegation will hiage Cleve
land a chances for the nomination
It is expected that the Conven
tion will be in session about four
days. It will meet Tuesday and
effect a temporary organization.
Wednesday a permanent orgauiza
tion will be had and a committee
oa platform appointed, and other
preliminarv business disposed of.
About Thursday morning the deck
will be cleared and balloting be
gun. If a nomination is not made
on the first or second ballot, the
probability is that the convention
will be prolonged several days.
The Walking Craze
It is astonishing how wild the
people of tnis day and generation
run after every new fang/ed excite
meat that gets the run. First
one amusement has its day and ev
ery body goes wild over it, and
suddenly something new is dis
covered and with one accord the
country starts after that craze.
Baseball, walking matches, byci
cle races, are having their run
now. They start in yankeedom,
gradually work their way down in
the Southern cities, from there
branch out into the country towns
and get the run of the entire
country. On last Friday there
was hardly a town in the State
that did not have its walking
match, where men, women and
cniidren gathered to witness the
athletic fetes of men and boys.
1 rizes were offered the walkers
while every species of gambling
was encouraged by the presence
of the fathers and smiles of tbe
ladies,
The negroes, ready to spe their
whi‘e neighbors, have taken up
the sport, and in one city of the
State young ladies entered the
ring as competitors upon the saw
4ust in a regular heel and toe
match. Is it sot about time to
let up on this foolishness ? The
old fashioned gander pullings
which are now tabooed as a relict
of barbarism, was certainly as in
structing and intellectual as the
foot races, where men, who would
think it a diegrace to chop a tire
of wood or spade np a garden, go
puffing around a ring with eyes
dilated and panting for breath, on
ly to be bellowsed fora week and
swineyed for a month, while the
youth of the country are initiated
into the mysteries of gambling,
which they will learn twice as
fast aa they do their Sunday
School lessons.
If the murder describe in the
following dispatch had occured
in the South, the ertire South
would have been anetbemaized
as a set of bloody murders and ruf
flans. And the old puritan*
would have turned up the white 8
of tbeir eyes in holly horror at the
brutal passions of Southern men,
but as it occured ap in New York
it is all right.
Nicholasville, N. Y„ July 3.
Humphrey and Bill Best, brothers
and notorious desperadoes, killed
an inoffensive colored man, named
Greer Bailey, in Garrard county
yesterday. The Bests, who were
drunk, met Bailey with a female
friend. Humphrey Best ordered
Bailey to cease fanning himself.
Bailey replied jokingly and con
tinued fanning, whereupon Hum 1
phrey Best drew a rifle and Bil
a knife, both using their weapons,
killing Baily instantly. Bill Best
boasted that he had killed a negro
be sere, and this would not be tbe
last. Both Bests are iu jail.
The Georgia Teachers Associa
tion was in session in Atlanta last
week and there was a fair repre
sentation of teachers ini attendance
The teaohers of the several coun
ties were urged to form county
associations and the Convention
in the future will be composed of
175 delegates selected by the coun
ty associations, each county to be
entitled to the same number of
representatives is it now Las mem
bera of the lower honse of the
General Astern aly.
The offices for the ensuing year
are. President W- J. McKensie,
of We»t Point, and one Vice Pres
ident from each Congressional
District. Mr. R. E. Mitoliell of
Flowery Branch, was elected to
repre sent the 9th district.
It ie stated in a dispatc h from
Washington that a combination
among Demociatic congressmen,
had been made to support Ben
Butler for President. We do not
believe that any respectable memt
bers of Congress have engaged in
such a piece of folly. The Demo,
crats of the Sonth will not sup
port old Ben. He cannot carr y
two Southern States, and his nom.
ination means the election of Jim
Blaine without a shadow of a doubt
and we would shed no tears. The
gooo book says “a brid'e for the
ass and a rod for tb a fool's back,’ 1
and we would be entitled to cla ini
the bridle and bare our back to
the rod.
The Clarksville Advertiser says
that the Soque Woolen Mill is
turning out an immense amount
of the very best jeans, and the
Porter Manufacturing Company
are training alt of their machinery
and will have a supply of wool in
a few days, when they will start
80 looms.
This shows the solid improve
rnent that is being made in North
Bast Georgia. It iB the small man
ufac.tories that make a people pros
perous and if our people would in
vest their capital in such enter
prises, they would not only l ring
profit to the owner but profitable
employment to the poor people
of the lana.
Crashed to Death.
A FOURTH OF JULV ACCIDENT ON THK
EAST TENNESSEE RAILROAD.
J. F. Carter, ayoungmau whose
home was near Dallas, was run
over by an East Tennessee tram
yesterlay and instantly killed.
The accident was a most horri
ble and heart-rending one. It oc
cured about six miles from tbe city
and was witnessed by a large num
her of persons. Yesterday morn
ing when the East Tennessee ex
cursion train passed Dallas young
Carter, two or three of his brortli
ers and a sister and bis father
boarded it for Atlanta The train
was made up of flat cars and pas
senger coacbes and the Carter tarn
ily secured room on one es the
flat ear*. Soon after tbe train left
Dallas Carter made himself easy
on the brake. His seat was com
fortable,
BUT IT WAS DANGEROUS, AND
as tbe car would swing around the
curve his body would away back
and forth. His friends advised
him to desert his unsafe perch,
but wim a pleasant smile and a
merry laugh, be told them that he
was all right. When the train
left the Chattahoochee river, it
moved down the grade at a rapid
rate, but when it near el tbe long
turnout, about six miles from At
lanta, the engineer began slacking
np Tbe car on which Carter was
sitting struck the car in front with
such force as to cause the ysung
man to lose his balance and tum
ble off between the cars. As he
went down he uttered a terrible
cry for aid and several persons
who were near him reached out to
save him but the aid came too
iate and in an instant the young
man was terribly mangled. The
accident was seen by tbe young
man’s sister and father and
their frantic appeals to the crowd
to stop the train were extremely
distressing. The train was stop
ped as quickly as possib.e, but
not until five cars had passed over
the body.
When the first person reached
the young man’s side he was hor
rified ai the terrible sight. The
entire lower portion of the body
and legs from the knees up were
one mass of lacerated and quiver
ing flesh. The backbone bad
been ground into pieces and a
section fully three iuches long
was found about ten set t from;tbe
body. Tbe tableau presented
when the aged father, 'euder sis
ter, loving brothers, reached the
dead body wa ß affecting. Tbeir
patent to tbe crowd in tbeir dis
tressing sobs. The body was
picked up by strangers and friends
and placed on a cir and brought
into the city. It was theu con
veyed to Bowden and Patierson’s
undertaking rooms, where it wub
prepared for burial, and in ihe
afternoon was seat back to tbe
home which he left yesterday full
of strength, hope and happiness.
Young Carter was about twen
ty-three years of age, and was
highly esteem® by all who knew
him. Coro nor Hillburn will make
an official inquiry into the death
to-day.

A Writer in the San francisco
News Lsttei explains a paradox
—Why the left side is tbe right
side is often the left, so to speak :
Tbe left side of the face is the
light ; statistics prove tbe para
dox. Artists always put the best
teaches, finest shading and most
delicate tiuts on tbe left side of
the profile Actors, act t esses and
public singers always make a bait
turn to tbe right when they wish
to impress their oidiances. Young
ladies desirous of bevvi cbing
their gentleman friends ulways
walk on the-right hand side.
Why f Because science has
shown that the left side of the
face is more beautiful or less ug
ly. The left hand is more magne
ic than the right, the left breas’
has a more graceful contour thst
the opposite, and the glance of the
left eye has a bewitching power
of which the right is hopelessly
innocent. The themewill bear inti
nite expansion, but we forbear
pursue it. The remarkable part
ot tbe now well knrwu fact is that
thediscovery was made by the Chi
; ese, ; n the year 9381 Ah King
Fy Foy had a family of seventeen
daughters. They were all left
handed and were greatly sought
in marriage by tic in tiers of the
royal household. So irresistible
were the charms of these moot
eyed maidens that every man who
looked upon them became enslav
ed. To save the empire inti rue
cine war for their pocesaiou the
Emperor made a* edict that the
daughter* of Ah FyJFoy should be
allowed to have thirteen husbands
each, but that in the future all left
l anded girls should be strangled
at tueir br<th.—Selected.
Ti e Piedmont Press tells of an
extinct volcano near Cleavland,
which as early as ten years ago
was seen to emit great volumes of
fire and lava at night. Sin e these
emm'issions the mountain called
Long mountain, has cracked op
en and the cracks are ccDtin ually
growing larger, and the mountain
is slowly being swallowed into
the earth. The people near think
that at some future day the in
Date fires of the earth will break
forth there in all tbeir fury
and scatter confusion and
destruction around.
When a MorrnoD wife renounces
the authority of her husband she
is at once deprived of all means
of earning a livelihood. To coun
teract the effect of such a ruling
it is now seriously proposed to es
tablish at Salt Lake City a house
of refuge for all the womeD who
may bejbrave enough to defy poly
gamic doctrines.

to be bilious. The way to help you
out of the difficulty is to take
Brou-ns Iron Bitters, which sets
disordered livers at work in good
style.
Don l be cross and angry/ Your
digestion is bad, and that upsets
your disposition. If you will try
Brown’s Iron Bitters, you will find
the digestive difficulties driven
away in short order.
Don't be despondent! You are
weak because your blood is thin,
and you cannot face trouble, or
tliiuk you cannot. Brou n s Iron
Bitters will put iron into your
circulation, enriching the blood,
making it a royal red color, and
giving you the strength you need.
