W. T. JOHNSON,
Washington. Ga.
A correspondent of the Chicago
Times, writing from Echols county,
Ga., sayt of the cotton stales general
ly : .Records are poorly kept and
little used, and there are no tract in
dexes, no real estate agciili and no
loaning of money except on the per
sonal property and improvements. So
much labor is required here to put
ten acres under cultivation by clear
ing tile ground and fencing it that
the improvements appear as every
thing and tlie land as but little. Tints
the community looks upon the squat
ter and trespasser as the real owner
of the land. These tilings satisfy the
people and they desire nothing better.
But it '.s not wlial the nolhern tanners
or emigrmts desire.” This excites
the ire of the Dallas. Texas, Herald,
and brings out the true situation.
The Herald, says: “zVs the state
ments quoted above is ihe reverse of
truth as to eacli word, line, and sug
tion, and as the army of travelers
know that plats and maps are used
as wall paper; that records are care
fully kept ; that real eslate agents arc
numerous in every village, town and
city; that real esta'e is easily placed
as collateral on the loan markets; that
the labor of putting land under culti
vation is nominal, is light, and the
people of the south are ambitious and
advancing in wealth—as the
man is a I raducor of
vulgar glibness and devoid of
those gracss that lend a charm to lie
tilious utterances, it uppers strange
that a paper of the honesty, influence
and popularity of the Chicago Times
should afford space to the rough eal
umny of this correspondent.”
The corruption that exists in New
York is well illustrated by this con
versation, that took place in that city
the other day : A journalist asked u
contractor of his acquaintance : -‘How
is it that dangerous buildings arc
permitted to pass inspection ?” “You
ought to know without usking,” ho
replied; “I have put up a structure
in New York that 1 did not feel was
•honest.’ Yet it costs mo about $25.
every time I have a contract to get it
passed. The fact is that all inspection
in every department of government
operates in sumo way. The service
of the city, Slate and Federal govern
ment is alike honeycombed with it.
The people select servants to look af
ter the public interests who betray
those interests for greed at the first
opportunity. It is the history of all
countries and all times. We are n
exception.” I asked him particularly,
with reference to his line of business
if there was not a remedy. “You
can stop it for a while,” lie said, “if.
in Ihe excitement attending such an
accident as the recent one, a guilty
luilder or two gets strung up to u
lamp post.”
BOBBEKY THE RULE.
Rohhei'V is (he tttle, honesty Hie
exception, in Russia. Robbery goes
on In every department of St tie.
In 1882 a Russian paper, the Sovrr
menn Tlveslia, gave a list of the
“great robberies” known to have
been committed during the last tew
years by public functionaries. Ac
cording to this account there were
25 thefts of from 20,000 to 60,000 rou
bles each ; six ranging from 400.010
to 500,000, and six ranging fro n
1,000,000 to 12,000,000-in all 77,000,-
000. This is exclusive of small af
fairs of less Ilian 20,000 roubles,
which are past counting. “Russia
has in its service but two honest
men, you and me,” said tho Em
peror Nicholas to his eldest son, ami
whatever progress the country ntar
have made since his time
has certainly not extended to the char
acter of its public servants.—London
Times.
The employes of a largo iron man
ufacturing firm at Tinsley, near
Sheffield, England, recently offered
to work a week lor nothing in order
that the firm might recover front its
financial embarrassment. If more
workmen were like these men there
would bo fewer strikes, says the New
York Tribune. That is not so certain,
alleast, in this country. Monopolists
are hard to satisfy. Perhaps they would
after while want the men not only to
work for nothing, but to chip in to en
able the concern to compete with
cheap foreign raw materials, as well
as cheap foreign labor,without reduc
ing dividends.

Er.nKRT county real ostale has been
assessed at $200,000 above what it
was given in at. hv the property hold
ers. This movement in Elbert might
be carried out in every county of the
state to the great advantage ol Geor
gia and all her conscientious citizens,
without doing injustice to any one.
Greenville lias passed on ordinance
imposing a fine of five dollars on
parties playing baseball on Sunday
in that town.
REDUCING EXPENSES.
The 1 tire lit of construction and re
pair it the navy department is more
etnhrasscd because of the lack of
(funds for the present fiscal year than
any oilier bureau in the department.
There is a balance of only about $50.-
000 for this bureau fertile next too
months. To Provide additional funds
for repairing vessels and making
payments for such work as is necessa
ry in tlie bureau, it lias been deter
mined to reduce the forces in various
navy yards. The reduction will be
made among bosses, foremen, leading
men, etc., in the yards. There are
about four hundred men thus em
ployed, and it is thought by naval
offleree that this number can be re
duced without cnibarassmcnt to 250 or
300 men. The amounts saved by re
duction would be from about.s4oo to
$(>00 daily. A naval officer, in speak
ing ol this proposed reduction, this
morning, said: “There are a num
ber of men in the various yards whose
service could he dispensed with with
out injury to the work in the yards.
They are ‘bosses,’ and many have
been placed in their positions because
ot political work. They draw their
pay whether or not any work is done
throughout the year.”
The Spanish government is greatly
troubled by Ihosp-ead of republican
sentiments throughout Spain. Re
publican literature, which seeks to
excite the prople against all dynastic
rulcrship, hy pointing to the greater
freedom and higher average of pros
perity enjoyed by the French, the
Swiss, and. above all, by the Ameri
cans, is scattered übrond with n liber
al hand. Every public calamity i K
utilized to point the moral that the
people would he abundantly able to
relieve their own distress if it were
not for the sums wrung from them
in iaxes to support the grandeur of
royally. The royal bountygiycn to
the sufferers by the late earthquakes
is spoken of as hut a lithe ot what
belonged to the people any way.
and the pending epidemic ot
cholera is referred to as a quite avoid
able scourge if the people had no
been too far impoverished by kingly
exactions to establish proper sanitary
precautions. It is believed that this
literature emanates chiefly from Lon
don.
Mrs. Evans and Caspar Wenger,
her paramour, were found dead in
bed at her homo in New Orleans last
Friday morning with pistol ball
holes through their heads. It is sup
posed Mr. Evans did the killing, and
lie is now under arrest. Wenger’s
body was buried on Sunday hy the
\oimg Mens’ Christian Association.
If this Association performed this
ceremony for :he purpose of doing
honor to Wenger, they have miss
ed their calling altogether. And it is
evident that this was their purpose,
lor if thcdcad man had no family nor
friends to bury him, the body should
bare been turned over to tho authori
ties and decently buried as arc the
bodies of all paupers. But when a
so-called Christian Association under
takes to do honor to a man who died
all covered with infamy it brings the
contempt of all decent people upon it.
It should he called by its right name,
an association for tho encouragement
of in fa mv.
Two Very t Jfc'y Twins.
They go hand in hand, and lead
their victim a terrible trot down in
to the valley of the shadow of death.
One is neuralgia Ihe other rheuma
tism. Those generally proceed from
disordered blood. Brown’s Iron
Billers knocks out these ugly twins
by setting the blood aright and in
vigorating the system. Mr. W. T.
Osborne, of Ooxvillc, Ala., used
Brown’s Iron Bitters for rheumatism
and neuralgia with most happy ef
fect. It also cures dyspepsia.
The “constantly tired out” feeling
so often expercinced is the result of
impoverished blood and consequent
enfeeblod vitality. Ayer’s Sarsapar
illa feeds and enriches tho blood, in
creases His appetite, and promotes
digestion of the food, and the assimi
lation of its strengthening qualities.
The system being thus invigorated,
(ho feeling rapidly changes to a
grateful sense of strength and energy.
Ayer’s Catharic Pills are the best
medicine that can be employed to cor
rect irregularities of the stomach and
bowels. Gentle, yet thorough, in
their action, they cure constipation,
stimulate the digestive organs and the
appetite, and cleanse, build up, and
strengthern the system,

HAIR RENEWER
was tho first preparation porfcctly adapted to
euro diseases of tho scalp, anti tho first suc
cessful restorer of faded or gray hair to its
natural color, growth, aud youthful beauty.
It has had many imitators, but none have so
fully met all the requirements needful for
tho proper treatment of tho hair and scalp.
11 all’s Haik Uexewek has steadily grown
in favor, and spread its fauio and usefulness
to every quurter of tho globe. Its unparal
leled success can be attributed to but one
cause: the entire fulfilment qf' its promises .
J/Tlio proprietors have often been surprised
at tho receipt of orders from remote coun
tries, where they had never made au effort for
Its Introduction.
The use for a short time of lUli/8 llair
Renewku wonderfully improves the per
sonal appearance. It demises tho scalp from
all impurities, cures all humors, fever, aud
dryness, and thus prevents baldness. It
stimulates the weakened glands, and enables
them to push forward anew and vigorous
growth. The effects of this article are not
transient, like those of alooliollo prepara
tions, but remain a long time, which make#
its use a matter of oconomy.
