Nelms, the bigamist, has been sen
tenced to the peuitentiary for four
years, for having married six unso
phisticated female women. He should
have been given a year for each de
luded woman. However, since we
come to think about it, the punish
ment of having six women after him
at one time is probably enough.
The Johnson county alliance has
passed this resolution: “That we
urge upon our representatives to use
their combined efforts together with
all honorable means,, in the passage of
the Olive bill and the Brady guano
bill, which will be up- at the next
session of the Georgia Legislature,
believing that a failure to pass either
will be detrimental to the agricultural
interest of Georgia.”
No true woman will notall ow any
man, no matter what his profe Bion,
no matter what his previous life, no
matter what his age, no matter how
innocent his intentions, to treat her
with undue familiarity. Her instinc
tive womadly feelings will always and
quickly tell her that, so far from per
fect love excusing such things, it is
nther designed and calculated to
prevent them. Perfect love is a pure
love. Pure love abstains from the
very appearance of evil.
The Minnesota legislature has
passed a capital punishment law, sim
ilar in some respects to the New
York law. Under its provisions the
prisoner is to be kept in solitary con
finement, and sees no one but his
family, his lawyer and his spiritual
advisers. He is to be executed before
sunrise, and may invite three persons
to be present. The sheriff invites six
persons besides the surgeon. It is
made a misdemeanor for a newspaper
to publish anything more about the
-execution than the mere facts.
The Bainbridgc Democrat says:
The “milk shake trust” has about
stopped the sale of that beverage. At
five cents all the machines in town
run at full speed last summer. At
the price of ten cents a shake, the
milk shake don’t sell worth three
shakes of a dead sheep’s tail. As Sam
Jones remarked in Baltimore, to an
audience which had been charged ten
;cnts a head to hear him him lecture:
“My Lord! how ten cents admission
doe* thin 'em out!”
Is this True.
A geutleman well <piu railroad
affairs, expressed the bcliif \es
terday that the Savannah, Aniericu*
and Montgomery railroad was con
trolled by the Louisville amf Nash
ville.
‘‘It is evident,” said the gentleman,
“that the former baby road has some
very strong concern behind it. The
road now appears to control all the
money it wants. A standard gauge
track’is being laid with heavy steel
rails; the road will he extended east
to Savannah and west iuto Columbus
and on to Montgomery.
“It is no secret,” he continued,
“That the Louisville and Nashville
people have long lmd an eye on the
section of country penetrated fav this
road. It will let them into Colum
bus. Americas nnd Savannah and
place them in a position where they
will he able to compete with rival
systems for a vast amount of business
which they could not possibly touch
without having control of the Savan
nah, Amcricus and Montgomery road.
Wo would like very much to see
the Louisville and Nashville road
come into Columbus, and there is rea
son to. believe it will do so whenever
the opportunity presents itself. It is
not improbable that the Savannah,
Americas and Montgomery road
may he this opportunity. If this
should prove true, Columbus will
soon be the greatest railroad center
in the South. We would then see
three great rival systems—the Cen
tral, Louisville aud Nashville and
the projected Williamson system.—
Columbus Enquirer-Sun.
Thomasvillc would have no objec
tion to joining steel rails with the
great L. & N. system at Ccrdele. It
will he remembered that the system
alluded to has heeu completed to Cor-
delc. And it will be completed to
Savannah.
A “Crank” on the Centennial.
George Francis Train, so-called
“crank,” but who has brains enough
for a dozen men if he could only get
them evenly ballauced, thus discours
es ou the New York centcunial, after
the fifteenth day of bis one hundred
days fast.

the centennial would he the greatest

Big thing that naval parade. A

Gerry, Fish, Mackerel, Triyc & Co.,
have bchoodled §60,000. The only
man who made a point in the whole
business was my friend Bishop Potter.
As for the hall, I’ve had women in
the Mabile kick my lmt off. I’ve seen
the wild orgies of the Indian Nautch
dances. I’ve engaged in the most
extravagant saturnalia of the Old
World, but uever have I seen such
sights as I am told were witnessed at
the Elliot F. Shepard codfish ball.
Decrease in Drunkenness.
The Philadelphia Record has come
to the conclusion that drunkenness is
decreasing. In support of this opin
ion, the Recorder offers the following
figures, which will Ire found quite in
teresting. “In 1840 the total con
sumption of distilled spirits in the
United States per capita of popula
tion was 2.52 gallons ; in ’88 the con
sumption lmd fallen off to 1.2.‘l gallons
per capita—a reduction in consump
tion of a little more than one half.
“This reduction has been gradually
brought about By a great and benefi
cial change in the drnking habits of
the nation. Instead of spirits, wine
aud beer are drank. In 1840 the
consumption of wine per capita was
only half what it is now, aud the eon-
euipptiou of beer per capita was less
than onc-third of the present con
sumption. Drunkenness has fallen
off with the decreased potency of out
drinks.”
lu a difficulty Saturday at Cuth-
bert, between Dr. Baldwin aud Sena
tor Edwards, a pistol was drawn, but
not fired, the eombatnuts clutching.
The difficulty was the result of a
private quarrel, aid, it it stated had
nothing political in it. The affair is
much regretted by both participants.
They were rivals for senatorial honors
at the last election.
Democratic Montana.
Our dispatches indicate that the
constitutional convention of Montana
is democratic by five. Five is a small
majority, hut it, is a safe one and lur-
uislios a very good iudication of the
political complexion of one of the
incipid states.
When the hill admitting the two
Dakotas, Washington nnd Montana,
was passed the republicans rejoiced in
the assurance that they would soon
have four states added to thi list of
those on which they could count with
certainty. Subsequent, events show
that their boasting was premature.
The indications are that both Wash
ington and Montan i will he demo
cratic, nnd that the democratic vote
in the Dakotas will be stronger than
was expected. The democrats have
good ground for believing that they
will get four of the eight new United
States Senators. The Senate would
then stand forty-one democrats to
forty three republicans. It is entirely
to early to give up the senate as hope
lessly republican. A very slight politi
cal wobble may make it democratic be
fore the end of President Harrison’s
adm i n istration. —Telegraph.
Minister Lawton Retires.
Vienna, May 15--The emperor to
day gave audience to Mr. Lawton,
retiring United States minister, who
presented his letter of recall. After
ward the emperor received Colonel
F. B. Grant, new minister, who pre
sented his credentials.

Governor Richardson, of South
Carolina, and Governor Fowle, of
North Carolina, met at their hotel in
New York, on Monday evening. Said
the former to Governor Fowle: "I
suppose we have an historic remark to
make to each other. But I don’t
drink so early in the day. Have a
cigar.” And the two men smoked in
the most companionable way.
Sheep-shearing is the order of the

Hard on Congress.
Bufinlo Kxpress.
Speaking of the framers of the
constitution. Bishop Cox jays : “When
I read that roll I ath impressed with
the ideas, first, what a capital God
Almighty gave this nation to start
with, and second, what a poor use we
have made of ihts capital when we
compare it with our American con-
press at ihe present moment.” A pal
pable hit.
An astronomer from Harvard obser
vatory some time ago propounded this
problem to a number of fellow savants:
Suppose that three snakes, each two
feet in length, should catch each other
by the tip of the tail, thus making a
circle six feet in circumference. Sup
pose that each snake should begin to
swallow the one in front ol him, in
what way would the resultant figure,
alter each snake had swallowed the
one in Iront of him, differ from the
original circle? There were many di
verse opinions upon the subject, some
of thgm entering the consideration of
the fourth dimension of space, because
any one of the snakes would have
swallowed the two in front ot him, and
yet have been.swallowed by the two in
back ol him, and, therefore, would he
both inside and outside of his fellows.

Several of the Georgia newspapers
are demanding that the legislature, at
the summer session, shall “dispose of
the worthless curs.” If they mean
that they want the legislature to pass
a dog law, they will probably be dis
appointed. The worthless curs lmve
a strong hold upon the hearts of our
legislator, perhaps lor the rcasou that
there arc so many of them owned by
pconlc who regard them affectionately,
who spend ou them almost enough
money to keep their wives in comfort
if applied in that direction, aud who
always go to the polls.—News.

Plain History.
Swifl’i Specific is 11 simple vegetable, com
pound, prepared from roots gathered
freshly from the forest, and contains nothing
from the mineral kingdom, or any poison
ous substance, or any article at all which
conics from the chimist's labrutory.
The formula of the remedy was obtained
from the Creek Indians in Middle Georgia,
by reliable white men, who hod witnessed
the wonderful cures made by that tribe of
Indians, of blood diseases. Mr.IIugli L. Deu-
nnrd, of Houston county, Ga., began using
Swift’s Specific in 182l>, find continued its
use all hits life, and asserted that he. had nev
er known it to fail to cure any case of Scrof-
ulnr, blood taint, or Contagious blood poison.
This testimony has been corroborated every
day for years. The present company was
formed in 1870, and have since nuidii known
to the world the virturcs of Swift's SpecifTic.
and to-day it is sold in every city, town and
country store all over America, Great IJrit-
ain. and many other portions of the world.
I have seen Swift’s Specific used, and
known of many cases of the worst form of
blood disease which have been cured by it.
I know the proprietors to be gentlemen of
tie highest type and utmost reliability. I
recommend it as a great blood remedy, un-
eniialed l»v anything that I kuow of,
