The people out West with aucli
maudlin sentiments as tp llpraie

banditti In tbo preformances that
made the name of their hero noto

GxoaotA should show tho fairness
aud the chivalry of anpropriatiuir an
nually as much money for female ed
ucation in the higher branches as it
gives to the University of Georgia.
As female colleges were unknown to
the world prior to this century and as
the first one in the world originated
in Georgia, wc yet hope to sec in our
own state, woman have equal advan
tage with man in obtaining kuowl
edgo.
It is estimated that tho wheat crop
of tbo United States is 630.000,000
bushels. This is a very large crop.
The European supply, unfortunately
for this country, happens to be more
abuudant Uiau usual. England will
not require as much grain as she was
recently forced to buy of tlie Unit
ed Statos. Our home market, there
fore, becomes of supremo importance
to American farmers. B’louris selling
for $4 a barrel in San Francisco, so
that bread is cheap enough there at
all events.
Cl*t*land’s chances, bright at first
are growing brighter every day as
the election approaches. Vast num
bers of republicans all over the*coun
ty, who were dubious of Blaine on
suspicions, naw that the Mulligan let
ters have been published, are con
firmed in their determination to vote
for Cleveland, who has made an irre
proachable public record. The dem
ocrats are united, and with tho aid of
the largo number of republicans who
will not support Blaine, they will bo
sure to elect their candidate for Pi es
ideut.
Thi common thief is becoming al
most as bald and audacious as the
“financiers” who manage to get away
with hundreds of thousands of other
people's money. On Saturday a res
pectable looking man with specta
cles entered the banking office of
Marliu & Runyon, Wall street, New
York, and asked the clerk to let him
see a bar of gold worth about $650.
Quick as a flash he was in the street
with tho bur and at last accounts suc
ceeded iu getting away with iu lj
corns almost Impossible that such a
feat could be accomplished success
fully, but it seems that it was.
Brother Colley, o TthT Lincolnton
Nows, favors a constitutional amend
ment whereby counties can vote a
subscription in bonds to aid in build
ing railroads and making other Inter
nal improvements. We generally
very well agree with our esteemed
neighbor, baton this point we differ
with him a* much as it is possible
for ns to differ. We have a very
largo vqnal element to contend against
in our flection* where an issue is
made, and it would be very danger
ous to put such a force in their hands
They would vote away property,
with impunity because few of them
arc interested in holding property.
The scandals against the nominees
for president are no issnes in the
campaign, with sensible people. The
republicans started thi* scandal bus
iness, but they now find that Blaine
is deeper in the mud than Cleveland
is in the nnre. But such as this is
no argument for or against a man’s
capabilities lor filling the office of
chief executive.
Ik Blaine’s action in asking his
“dear Mr Fisher” to re-write and
sign the draft of a letter that Blaine
himself wrote, is to be condoned by
any honest man, then why uot in all
the courts of this country, let any
ether criminal “stuff” the witness
who is to testify against him.
The state election passed off very
quietly ail over the slate on Wednes
day. There was no opposition Mc.-
lianiel for governor, nor to the state
house officers. In some of the coun
ties there was opposition for represen
tatives, but in nearly every pount’y
the democratic nominees were eleot
ed." More negroes were running for
the legislature this year than have
bean known since the carpet-bagge*
ran away from Gooegia, but as far a*
heard trotn, only o*e was elected ou
Wednesday, and he from Mclntosh
county. Judge William Gibson of
Warren county, was an independent
candidate for the achate, bnt waf beat
en by Bristow ofTallaibrro, the reg
ular nominee. , *

STATU MILITARY.
We liavo beon requested to use the
influence of our columns in working
an interest in behalf of state milita
ry organizations. Tho poofligacy and
extravagance that have characterized
our in the past
ten or fifteen years, have injured all
and destroyed a good many. Tho
dues are heavier than'they should be,
and tho members are called on Indi
vidually to contribute large amounts
to pay for excursions and other frol
ics, and entertain visiting organiza
tions. This is all very nice and may
have been indulged in with impuri
ty before the war. but nearly all our
young men now have to work for a
living, and they cau neither spare the
time nor the money to devote to mil
itary organizations on the present
basis. No one would rejoice more
Ilian we to see our 6tato have a large
and well organized military, but to
accomplish this end tho great neces
sity of frugality will have to be fully
recognized and closely practiced.

A dispatch from Cleveland Ohio,
says: At 1 o’clock Sunday afternoon
the twoltli incendiary fire in Cleve
land within 48 hours,was started in
tho lumber yard of the Cleveland Saw
mill and Lumber company, in the
heart of the great lumlier district on
the flats. A strong wind carried the
flames eastward through tho yard, de
stroying 1.000,000 feet of lumber, and
about 50 feet of the trestle of the bridge
ofthc Connotton Valley Railway, cut
ting off trains from across tollie de
pot. The fire was here checked, with
a loss of $20,000.
About 4 o’clock a small boy stand
ing near the passenger station of t
Connotton Valley Road, obs 1
man creep stealthily up to a baggage
car aud passenger coach standing ou '
(he side track. Shortly after lie no
ticed flames issuing from the rear
coach and gave an alarm. A loco
motive backed up and drew the - oars
into an open space, where they were |
completely gutted, with a loss of ojily
$2,000, the cars being narrow gauge.
The entire fire department was at the
lumber yards fire,and bad the flame*
from the burning cars reaebjMkthe if*
pot the whole district, which islmed
with wooden buildings, mnst have
been swept bare. Towards 5 o'clock
fire was discovered id *ho Greene
block on Si, Clair street, butwas ex
tinguished with little damage. The
kindlings used were two packing
boxes saturated with coil oil. No
arrests have been made.
One of the largest lumber Arms
in the city, yesterday received
au anonymous letter from Chicago,
warning them that their stock would
be in ashes before Monday
Manning,of the machine works, re
ceived a similiar warning and both
firm* have taken precautions ac
cordingly. The excitement iggeneral
and hardly a resident ot ClevVlaml
bnt feels apprehensive for the jgfFety
of his property. V
Early Monday tnoming the barrel
house of Scofield, tshurmer & Teagle
at the Great Western Oil Work*, in
this city, was burned. The fire was
incendiary. The loss is $15,000.
