r .’HE NEWS. TOCCOA, GEORGIA. The death of John Bright is regarded England as a great loss to the Unionist ise. Capital is taking hold of a scheme to osote the soft timber of the South, v useless, and ship it abroad. The Mexican Financier states that the glish investments of capital in Mexico .eh the sum of $165,000,000. South America is filling up with Eng- h, French and Germans, who are try- j to carry their trades and industries th them. The late Sydney Bartlett, of Boston, iring his active career at the bar saw e Supreme Court of the United .States rice entirely renewed. Georgia’s Capitol was to cost $1,000,- >0; it did cost $999,981.57, the com- issioners appointed to superintend its lilding having $18.43 to the State reasury. Some one has discovered that women iver reckon time by calendar years, but ways say so many years ago instead of i the year 1888, or whatever year may e meant. About three thousand brakes have een invented and patented. One of the itest is described as beautifully simple in a working. Push a button and the rakes are set on the entire train. According to the statistics published by fie Washington and Lee University, that istitution has graduated a larger propor- lon of distinguished political leaders than Imost any other college in the country. There have been some lugubrious tales ately about the failures of exhibitions leld in Europe, but the one at Melbourne, viistralia, is the most disastrous that has ver been held, as the deficit amounts to tearly $1,500,000. Good authorities say the Mexican horse a a serviceable animal, good for long I ourneys, easy in a canter, intelligent, full nf fun at times, but rarely vicious, and hould he be domesticated in the United ptates would be very popular. I Installment dealers are aghast at a re¬ pent decision of a Louisiana judge that in ;hat State title to any good* passes upon the [payment of the fust installment, and that after that is made the purchaser may do what he pleases with the goods. V -According to n denominational paper It cost this Government $1,848,000 to sup¬ port 2200 Dakota Indians for seven years | while they were savages. After they were Christianized it cost $120,000 to care for the same number for the same time, a saving of $1,728,000. The largest brick yard in the United iStatea is being built at Chicago, and the bricks will be as hard as granite am as heavy. This new brick yard is creating (quite a sensation in architectuml and building trade circles. They bear a crushing strain of 35,000,000 pounds per square inch. The works will cost $250 [ 000 . An employment which would seem per¬ fectly delightful to small boys is tasting molasses. The molasses taster frequently has twenty or thirty samples to experi¬ ment upon, taking care to swallow as lit¬ tle as possible. It is said that only a man with a sweet tooth and a clear head can bear up under the strain of the occupa¬ tion. 1 ’ Li Hung Chang, the famous Viceroy of of China, said recently: •Before half a entury has passed China will be covered with railways as with a net. Its immense mineral resources will be developed. It will have rolling mills and furnaces in many parts of the country, and it is not impossible that it may do the ma - mfactur- ing for the world.” Says the American v*y.dard: “The fundamental chord which binds and preserves American liberties is the com¬ mon school system. It is only by edu¬ cating the masses of the people to a full understanding of the responsibility citizenship that we can hope for a con- •ervation of American ideas and a con¬ tinuation of American liberty." From a native paper it is learned that come of the employes of the Japanese Naval Department are to be fed with a new and delectable delicacy—blubber. The heads of the Department have de¬ cided that whale flesh is tolerably nutri¬ tious, and therefore it is to be supplied for food from time to time at Yokosuka and Draga barracks. The War Department also propose to adopt whale flesh as an article of diet for the soldiers. The insurance business seems to be un- tergoing a transformation under the competition of the mutual system, ob¬ serves the Chicago Sun.

The comptroller- general has decided that it is taxable property, and that the state and county taxes must be paid on it. There is a remarkable state of affairs at Laurenburg, N. C. W. R. Terry was recently appointed postmaster there.

Jackson advanced towards Bogle with a heavy stick in his hand, aud the latter shot him iu the forehead, the pistol ball penetrating his brain aud causing instant death. The parties are all colored. The sensation in Memphis, Tenn., is the impeachment of Judge J. J. DuBose, since September, 1886, judge of Shelby county criminal court. The leading cause of impeachment, as recited in a bill in chancery, is that DuBiSe wns the second of James Brizzolari in the famous duel between Biizzolati and George Phelan, just over the Arkansas line, in July, 1870. By a provision iu the state law that went iuto effect in May, 1870, pnrticipition in a duel forever bars the participant from holding public office.

The recent count of money at the New \ ork sub-Treasury revealed a di-crepan- cy of $35 out of a total sum of $184,000,- 000 to be accounted for. The shortage resulted from the acceptance of a few counterfeit notes in the hurry of business, and by the loss of a few pieces of silver. Bv direction of the President, Mr. Gitt, one of the chiefs of a division in the Pension Office, was summar.ly dis¬ charged, although he is a Republican. Rev. John W. Scott, the Piesident’s father-in-law, is a clerk under Gitt, and becaused he chased up the Rev. Scott about his duties, the dismissal took place. The Fresident has accepted the resig¬ nation of Judye George A. Jenks as So¬ licitor General of the Department al Justice. Mr. Jenks resigned upon the change of administration, but was re Quested to remain in office until the close of Court. the existing Judge term will of the retained Su reme in Jenks be the service of tlie government as counsel In the telephone Cases.

Sheffield, Ala., office became presidential; Jefferson J. 8imm«,Oxford, Ala., office became presidential; William A. Albright, Durham, N. C., vice .T. ITallen, removed; James A. Goddard, Morristown, Tenn., vice S. W. Shields, resigned. Secretary Tracy awarded the Richmond, Ya Locomotive Works the contract for supplying the boilers and machinery of the battle ship Texas, now building at the Norfolk navy yard. The price fixed iu the contract is $634,500. The Richmond bidders were in compe¬ tition with some of the largest engineer¬ ing works in New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, and the contract was awarded them after a careful inquiry which satisfied the department of their ability to undertake the work of this magnitude. The NaVal Board of Design has com pletcd plans fot the £.000 ton gun¬ boats, and is now’ hard at work upon the details of construction of the Thomas sh : p. This vessel will mark a departure in the practice of naval designing, as her general plan was originated outside of the Thomas, Navy Department by Representative a member of the naval commit¬ tee of the last House of Representatives. The vessel is to be of a modified monitor type, and her peculiarities will be in hu heavy ordnance, great defensive power and ability to make long cruises with her ample coal capacity, diff rmg iu this last respect from the o!d monitor type. The Secret ary of the Treasury has ap¬ pointed E. B. Daskam, A. T. Hunting- ton and G. W. Robertson a committee to examine the books and assets of the Treasury incidental to the transfer of the office of treasurer from Hyatt to Huston. The examination will include a count of all the money in the Treasury vault, aggregating nearly $200,000,000. of which $148,000,000 is in standard silver dollars, $20,000*000 in gold coin, and the remainder in United States notes, na ional bank notes, gold and silver cer¬ tificates and lraetional silver coin. Thi- is a woik of great magnitude, and will take a force of sixty expert counters over four months’ time. The United States Supreme Court or Monday rendered an opinion in the cast Of Chae of Chang the Ping, appellant, vs. col lector port of Sau Francisco. This is a suit brought to test the constitution - ality of the Scott Chinese ex¬ clusion ret. Chae Chang Ping re¬ turned to the United States from China and endeavored to secure entrance at the port cf Sau Francisco. He had left tins country armed with a certificate en¬ titling him to return, but the certificate was declared invalid by the Scott act. The collector refused him admittance, and suit was then brought in the United States court fir the district of California io test the constitutionality of the Scott act. Congress, the court says, has power to exclude aliens from the countay whose presence is deemed inimical to our inter¬ ests. For some time the White House has been infested with rats, $nd while the plumbing was being arranged this Spring, an unsuccessful attempt was made to rid ti e executive mansion of the vermin. Secretary Rusk heard of the trouble, and when the President and family left on their recent excursion the secretary declared he had rid many a barn of rats, and he guessed he would try a shot at the TVhite House. He sent over to the Department and had the chemist mix up a hotrible compound of phosphorus, corn-meal and arsenic, and it was taken to the White House. Sunday night it was applied all about the building, and when the President returned Monday, the employes had their hands full carry¬ ing away dead rats. Rusk says that a Wisconsin farmer can do up a high- priced plumber any day iu clearing out vermin.

ABOUT FLAX. Prof. Willetts, the Assistant Secretary of Agriculture, of Washington, D. C., has under consideration a letter from Ireland, which he thinks may offer a so¬ lution of the economic problem: “What shall take the place of wheat on farms where it can no longer be raised at a profit?” The writer, who has been fa¬ miliar with flax-growing and linen man¬ ufacturing since 1840, says in Lis inter¬ esting communication: ’There are only two establishments weaving—one at Webster, Mass., and doing the ether at Apple- ton, Wis., the latter but little, and neither weaving anything finer than crash. There is nothing in the climate Or soil conflicting With li. the assertion, that just as good flax and en may be pro¬ duced in every state in the Atnerican Union as in any country. Germany noW spins and weaves the finest linen, and she has no essentially differing climate from America. Many things become successful in America from the facility with which the people take up and adopt any improved processes and appliances, and this may be the salvation of the linen industry, of the importance of which there is no question. There is every reason vhy the American farmers should produce 1,000,000 acres of flax for both seed and fiber, over and above what is now T produced, which would give 12,000,000 to 15,000,006 bushels of seed, worth as many millions of dollars, and 2,500,0v0 tqns of fl-ix straw, worth $50,- 000,000, and from which 500,000 tons of flax fiber would be obtained, worth $100,000,000. Once established, Amer¬ ican invention would* as in all other in¬ dustries, soon woik up an industry to consume this inateiial. I wish the state experimental farms to grow a small amount in each state, and such private farmers as are disposed to do the same. The flax should be sown on any good, mellow soil which has been manured the past year, or active chemical fertilizers may be employed to a reasonable extent. The seed should be sown at the rate of two and a half bushels on an acre of land, brushed in, and no further atten¬ tion is needed, excepting that the any large weeds may be removed until flax has “turned’’ for half its length, when it should be pulled, curod and cared for to keep it bright, in the same manner as is done with hay. The seed may be takeu off by rippling or by roller thieshing, and there will be a market for all flax straw thus grown at $20 per ton. The crop should give two and a half tons of straw to an acre, and twelve to fifteen bu-heis of seed. The cost of pulling is in Canada $5 per ucre. Prof. Willetts has informed the sender that the subject of his letter would be earnestly consid¬ ered by the Department, which would lend its aid to auy effort to increase or diversify th« agricultuial industries of the countrv. WHITECAP8 IN GEORGIA. A band of whitecaps have taken law into their own hands, and propose to regulate the morals of East Spalding county without judicial aid. About two weeks ago they decided that old man Wm. Cockrum was too fond of the so- ciety of other women than his lawful wife, so a committee from the newly es- tablished order waited upon him and ad- ministered to him a severe thrashing, with the warning to desist in future or take the consequences. Several negroes have been dealt with, but the above is the only case among the whites that has been reported in Georgia. A PROSPEROUS ORDER. The sixteenth annual session of the supreme lodge of the Knights of Hon¬ or began at Indianapolis, Ind., on Tues¬ day.

He quickly recovered, and, aS the black cap was adjusted, he begged the sheriff long aud piteously for his life, and after the props had been removed, he called the sheriff to him again and begged him to release him. The sheriff told him he could do nothing, and Armstrong asked time to repeat the Lord’s Prayer. When the prayer was finished, he said, “Lord, Jesus, have mercy," and at 11:31 the platform feet was withdrawn and his body fell four with a t^ud. THE FIRST ONE. William Kemmiler of Buffalo, N.
