WHERE SHALL THEY GO?
Canada has passed an extradition
bill retro-active in its operations.
Now there will be a scattering of the
colonists of bank cashiers, and treasu-
rers of moneyed institutions who have
found cities of refuge in the Domin-
ion. There will be gnashing of teeth
and the despairing cry of “Whither
(), whither shall w'e flee!” by those
who have not yet gone, but are pre¬
paring to go. It is difficult to see
how they can escape a prison’s garb
and fare, and a dark cell, w here, in
solitude they can meditate on the fol¬
ly of using other people’s money in
order to become suddenly rich by
speculations in futures. They are all
honorable men, and “did not intend
to be dishonest,” but expected to re¬
turn the money as soon as they made
their “pile” “What fools these mor-
tals be!”
I >OCTOR OF PI 11LOSOPHY.
These are the days when the hon-
ora ry degrees of A- M., D. 1)., and L.
L. D., arc scattered around by young
and impecunious college's so pro-
misconsly, that the titles have ceased
to possess any significance, no one
knowing whether the persons to
whose name they are affixed, are su¬
perior to their fellow mortals in abilis
t y and scholarship or not. There is
one degree that American scholars
are trying to preserve from this deg¬
radation, viz. that of Doctor of Phi¬
losophy ; and no college or university
that has true respect for itself, or de¬
sires to encourage American Scholar¬
ship, and preserve sacred a distinc¬
tive title that indicates deep study, pro¬
found thought, original investigation
and great abilities, will confer the a-
bove degrye “honoris causa” on any
person, unless he is universally ae-
knowledegc to be entitled to it by
the highest merit. A little college at
Douglasville, Ga,, scarcely a year old,
and but little more than a common
school, has conferred the degree of
Ph. 1). on Prof. C. B. Lallatie. The
Douglasville college dishonored itself,
in conferring this “honorary” degree,
and Professor Lallatte will do bim-elf
honor by refusing to accept the title.
STATE SCHOOL FUND.
Ho n. Win. II. Felton, of Cartcrs-
ville, has suggested a plan to advance
the entire educational interests of our
Slate. This, ns outlined in the Con¬
stitution, includes the following im¬
portant features:
The entire proceeds of the Western
and Atlantic railroad is to be appro¬
priated to the schools of the state,
one half to the common schools, and
one half to the Colleges and Univer¬
sity. It is estimated that the state
road will rent for $30,000 a month,
$360,000 a year, and the appropria-
tions to the various schools should be
as follows.
To common schools $180,000
For higher education,

and earnestly urges our representatives
from these north eastern counties to
give the bill, when before the legisla¬
ture,! heir most active support. The
details must be examined very closely,
especially with reference to wise and
liberal provision for educating teaeh-
ers for the common schools, partieu-
larly for the rural districts. This is

FROM TILTON.
The recent heavy rams have done
considerable damage to land and
crops.
Lightning struck a shade tree near
the dwelling house of John Bracket,
three miles from Tilton a few days
ago.
Mr. Noah Wilson and Miss Min¬
nie Chapman, both of Petersburg,
were married some time back, W.
D. Heartsell, Esq., officiating at the
nuptial. Mr. John Nesbet and Miss
Julie Wilson,of same place,have also
married; Squire Porter officiated.
Both the newly married couples have
our best wishes.
Mr. Ben Howell’s mare was struck
by lightning a few days ago,in a pas¬
ture near Tilton. We sympathize
with him; for he is left without any
horse to finish his crop.
A vacant house belonging to W.
R. Greer, of this place, was struck
by lightning a few Hays ago, but no
serious damage was done the house.
The Alliances of this section are
becoming very much interested about
building a cotton gin, oil mill, guano
factory, and compress at, or near the

editor and publisher of the Dalton
Argus, and YV. H. Haig, also of Dal¬
ton, and Paul Tramel, of Corbindale,
who is President of the Whitfield
County Alliance, visited the Tilton
Alliance Monday in the interest of
the above named enterprises and se¬
cured a’right respectable subscription
from same Alliance. The matter is
to be submitted to the Alliances of
the adjoining counties, and it is
thought the proposed amount will
soon be subscribed.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Pres. Harrison is wise in his gener¬
ation. 1 he other day a delegation
froin the national camp of t e Pro¬
tective Order of Americans, which
closed it9 session Friday, called on
him. It was quite an imposing dele¬
gation, and there were many
ladies i n the a s s e m-
blago, the usual handshaking began
Landlord Caleb Spofford,of the Riggs
House, making the introductions. As
the President was nearly surrounded
by ladies, Mr. Spofford pinned one
the long silken badges of the order
on the presidential coat. For a mo¬
ment the President did not appear to
to notice the action. When he did
notice it, he quietly removed the
badge from his coat and handed it
back to the discomfited giver with
the remark “this is entirely unneces¬
sary.” The signfieance of this ac-
t ion is easily understood when one
remembers that the order is general-
ly supposed to be violently antago-
nistic to the Roman Catholic church
and the Iri » h race. The President
evidently wanted no BurelDrd bush
ness in Ins.
That pampered aristocrat, Baby
McKee, has just received a visit from
the President, at his headquarters at
the Cape May cottage of Mr. Wa„-
amaker, and went with him to see
a game uf base ball on Saturday. The
McKee infant is a social success and
his levees are attended by vast num¬
bers of office seekers. Indeed, it is
seriously believed that he is in dan¬
ger of being kidnapped and held in
the wild mountain retreats of Indiana
for a ransom in the shape of a post-
office. The last compliment inflicted
upon the infant is however discourag
ing and one must sympathize with
hitn. A local song writer has dedi¬
cated a new lullaby to Baby McKee.
The young king of Spain is not
more weighted with the cares of
state than is our young Indiana
friend, with a doting grand-father.
Dr. Win. Hammond's interest in
his chosen work does not weaken. It
is impossible to meet him without
hearing something that is novel or
timely regarding the human brain
and its ailments. The other evening
he happened to speak of the Johns¬
town calamity.
“The French revolution,” says this
expert, ‘was followed by such a prev¬
alence of insanity in France as that
country has never known before or
since. People become insane at the
time of excitement, or afterwards
from the reaction. The explanation
is easy. During a period of great ex¬
citement there is greatly inclosed
work for the brain, and that calls the
blood to the brain to sustain these
mental operations. If that flow is
aggravated for a week or so,the hab¬
it is formed and the blood continues
to flow to the brain after the occasion
has ceased. The brain is clogged
with it and mental disturbance fol¬
lows. If the wilder excitement was
followed by more mild form of ex-
cifcement, instead of the sombre
gloom of financial depression and
blighted prospects, there would be
forever cases of insanity at Jonns-
town. But of course you can’t talk
to a ruined laborer of the benefits of
European travel in his case. Howev¬
er, this form of insanity is fortunate¬
ly not permanent or even very long
continued.
The Knight Templar’s Conclave,
to be held by the knights of this ju¬
risdiction in this city next
is expected lo outvie in interest any
similiar event that ever occurred here.
The numbers of visitors will be near¬
ly as great as during the
tion. The parades will have* the ad¬
vantage of the [most beautiful season
of the year in Washington,
fear of storms.

NEW YORK LETTER.
THE world’s FAIR IN 1892- A CHI¬
NESE THEATRICAL COMPANY-RE¬
FORM IN THE TOST OFFICE.
New York, June 24, 1889.— No
one who has seen New York harbor
has failed to notice a small island
midway between the Battery and
Brooklyn, whose front seems almost
entirely occupied by a formidable-
looking building which is immediate¬
ly recognized as a fort. This is Gov¬
ernor’s Island which has for years
been used as a military station by the
U. S. Government. It is this island
which will in al probability be select¬
ed as the site for the great Exposition
of 1892, in honor of the discovery of
America. It is said that the Govern¬
ment intends to abandon the island
as a military post, and the citizens’
committee are accordingly making
preparath ns to occupy it for the
World’s Fair. To do this it will re-
quire the consent of Congress which
will no doubt be patiotically granted.
At present the exhibition promises
to be a great affair, and if the cove-
tea site is obtained there will
tically be no doubt of its success,
New \ ,:rk is ji st the place for such a
fair, an<J 1S92 will be just the. time,
:in( i jf our citizens take hold of it in
earnest, as now seems to be the case,
it will be a “rattler.” Contractors
aro rea dy to begin the buildings as
soon as the site is obtained, and a
very large number of applications for
space are expected immediately.
A CHINESE ENTERTAINXIEXIT.
Perhaps the most unique and novel
entertainment ever presented to New
Yorkers will be given to-night at the
Windsor Theater in the shape of a
play by the Swintien Lok Roval
Chinese Theatrical Company, consist¬
ing of 50 actors, the chief of whom is
Taka Wing. They well play for two
weeks at the Windsor and it is said
their 24 plays will be presented with
?. gorgeonsness of costume never be
fore seen in this city, at a cost of
$100,000. There is great excitement
among the Chinese residents of Mott
Street, and every box and most of
the seats have been taken for the o-
pening night. It is expected that a
large number of Americans will take
adva „ ta „ 0 of the opportunity to study
,be manners and customs of the Chi'
, iese>
POST OFFICE REFORM.
The Post Office Commission which
has been for several weeks investiga¬
ting the workings of the New York
Post Office has completed its labors
and is ready to report to Postmaster
General Wannamaker. The report
will not be made public until it is ap¬
proved by the Postmaster-General,
but. it is said that it recommends, a-
ntong other things, an increase in the
number of branch offices and postal
agencies for the sale of stamps, etc.,
and a complete reorganization of the
general office under the new law
which takes effectJuly 1 and provides
for a classification of divisions in all
first and second class offices through¬
out the country.

male and female. Such an entertain¬
ment! A good supply of over ripe
hen fruit in possession of the audi¬
ence, and turned loose at a moment
when the entire company was on the
ftage, would have put some interest
in the entertainment and, the people
would have come nearer thinking that
they had well spent their money.

Elberton Gazette: It is said by
good business men that the best wny
to judge of a town is to examine its
newspapers. If they are filled with
advertisements, giving the public a
general idea of what the merchants
and business men are doing, yon
may set it down that the town is alive
and prosperous one; but if they arc
filled with foreign advertisements,
such as patent medicines, «$c., that
is not the town enterprising people
who have money are looking for.
Suppose Elberton is judged in this
way, what will people at a distance
think of it?

HE SAW IT.
‘ Sit down—sit down,” replied the
old farmer, as he laid down his brush
hook and dumped himsolf on the
grass. So you want to know whar
Hi Perkins lives?”
“Yes.”
“Know the family?”
“Somewhat,”
“Can’t be Mi’s wife’s brother!”
“No.”
“Cousin o’ Hi’s mebbo 1”
“No.”
“You an’t an officer with a writ to

“Oh; no.”
“May be going out to sell him a
windmill or an organ?”
“No
“Know Hi long?” he queried, as hd
rubbed his sleeve over his face.
“Not very.”
“ All! I see how it is!” he sudden¬
ly exclaimed, -as a grin began to
spread over his face. ‘You live in

door exercise—going out to fix up

‘IIow?”
‘Waal, it sort o' riled me to have a

When I sat down I noticed a big
bumblebee working his way up the old
man’s back by bis left suspender, but
I thought the insect might be a pet of
his and so didn’t say anything. He
had got to the point above when he
uttered an awful yell, leaped clear
over an old stump* fell down and
scrambled up, then went tearing
through the hazel bushes like a Tex as
steer on the rampage. I counted four¬
teen whoops before he ceased* and it
was just twenty minutes before he re¬
turned.
‘ Well, was it a turnip patch or a
bumblebee?” I asked.
“Durn my flint! but you must a
