WEDNESDAY. MAY 22, 1081.
The Georgia Press Association
meets in Macon on the 28th inst.
A good many office seekers arc still
in Washington.
The Georgia Horticultural Society,
which meets iu Griffin this year, has
been called to meet on July 31st and
1st and 2nd of August, by President
Berckmnns. This society is one ol
the most important bodies in the state,
and has quite a number of members
in Thomas county. They will have
a most interesting session in Griffin,
which is one of the most important
fruit points in the State.
Broadening Their Faith.
We are entering what seems to he
an age of liberal thought in religious
matters. Dr. Woodrow, in Chatta
nooga, has laid down the postulate,
that he was compelled to follow the
ruling of l is church which clashed
with his own conscience or judgement
presumably in the matter ot evolu
tion.
Dr. Howard Crosby, of New York,
in whose church the Presbyterian As
sembly of the North is meeting, de-
sc ilie's that part of the Confession of
Faith in regard to predestination as
a metaphysical figment of Augustine
and Calvin, and asserts that the great
mass of Northern Presbyterians <: o
not believe it. He is one of the h ad
ing advocates of the proposed change,
and another is the Rev. Lewis Lamp-
man, who told the Newark Presbyte
rian last week that he didn’t believe
that kind of doctrine, did believe and
preach the oppos'te of it, and was for
throwing it overboard. 9
The clauses in his chapter which
liberal Presbyterians regard as stand
ing in especial need ot revision are
the third, fourth, sixth and seventh,
and they concern the doctrine of pre
destination. The third is as follows:
“By the decree of God, for the
manifestation ol His glory, some men
and angels nre predestinated unto
everlasting and others foreordained tb
everlasting death.”
The other clauses present variations
of the same ideas, and they are said to
be stumbling blocks in the way of
many Presbyterians in this nineteenth
cer tury.
The bc£ -T>inion seems to be that
the General Assembly, instead of tak
ing final action this year, will send
down the question to the Presbyter
ies for a general expression of their
views and wishes in the premises.--
Augusta Chronicle.
A correspondent of the New 'i ork
Herald says: “Presidential postmas
ters will be allowed to serve out their
four vear terms from the date of con
firmation by the Sen ite. P lstmaster-
Gencral Wanamaker made this plain
on Wednesday by stating that ‘the
president is not making removals ex
cept tor cause.’ He added that to dis
place a postmaster before his term ex
pired would he a removal. This is
the first authoritative declaration that
has been made on this subject. It
means that there will bo no more
postmasters appointed at piesidential
offices until January, except to till
vacancies caused by death or. resigna
tion or removal for a flagrant cause.”
Stand by our Own People.
Why send away from Augusta to
buy what our own merchants keep
for sale at home? These men pay
the taxes, sustain the trade, keep up
the town. If our people would have
the city grow and our stores filled
with the best line ot goods, _ where
things may he procured easily and
cheaplv, the best way to do is to pat
ronize the men who keep the'Stores.
That is the best way to build up a
city. The best economy is the sup
port of our local dealers. Stand by
Augusta in all things. It will help
the town and help you. Patronize
home enterprise. Trade at home.
Talk up your home dealers. It is the
most hopeful and helpful sign of a
growing city.
The above from the Augusta
Chronicle applies with equal force to
Thomasville, and we beg to make and
enforce the application to our own
town. Stand by everybody and every
thing, every enterprise, which will
contribute to the growth and prosper
ity of Thomasville. Let our people
be united on this line, mid the town
will flourish aud grow; let them take
a contrary course and industries and
trade will languish and the town will
just drag along. Stand by your mer
chants, your bankers, your manu
facturers, your dealers in everything,
from the greatest to the least, aud the
place will pulsate with renewed life,
every department will feel the good
effects of borne support, aud Thomas
ville will grow and expand beyond
the expectations of the most hopeful
and sanguine. -
. The New First Reader.
“Do you see that machine?” “Yes
I see it: it is a strange thing. What
is it for —a brickyard?” “Oh, no; its
called a stuffer.” “To stuff sausages?
No, to stuff school-children. Cotne
ind examine it. You put a child
from 10 to 14 years of age into
this end, aud iuto the other you place
thirteen examples in fractious, three
pages of history, two .of grammar,
three of orthography, an hour of
writing, and a yard of algebra, and
when all is ready loosen this spring,
and the child is duly stuffed.” “It
must be very nice.” “It is. The
schooling ot the average pupil can be
shortened up several years by this
process, much to the honor and credit
of the teacher.” “But don’t pupils
die under the stuffing?” “Lots of them
hut it is laid to a too active braiu.”
Are there many stuffers in use?”
‘There is an average of tjno to every
school iu town, aud some have two.
You may now run up aud down four
pairs of stairs to expand your lungs.”
—Detroit Free Press.
There is a moral iu the above
which will appear to all. Thousands
of children are being “stufled” in the
schools as now conducted, to the det
riment of brain and muscle. Stop the
stuffing process and save the children
Police Statistics in New York.
The report of the' police commis
sioners of New York city for the last
year contains some interesting figures.
It shows, for instance, that of the 85,
049 people arrested in that city during
the year, on one charge and anolher.
56 639 were unmarried. If the report
had been published it the time the
discussion of the question, whether
or not marriage is a failure, was being
carried on, the fact that considerably
more than one half the persons arrest
ed were unmarried m ght have been
cued as showing that marriage is a
conservator ot order and good morals.
Another interesting tact shown is that
more than one half of the persons ar
rested were of foreign birth, Germans.
Russians and Italians figuring most
conspicuouly in the report. The im
migration of Germans, Russians and
Italians to this country is very exten
sive, and it these figures are worth
anything they would seem to indicate
that it is among the nationalities nam
ed that there is the greatest need for
restriction in immigration. Of the
persons arrested, 32.000 were between
the ages of 20 and 30 years, and 8.300
were more than 50 years old; 64.094
were males, and 19 955 were females.
No occupation was assigned in 19.668
cases, and of those whose occupations
were given, bar tenders led,numbering
3,816, and printers came next, num
bering 1,113. There were 118 book
keepers, 117 musicians, 97 actors, 95
lawyers. 82 physicians, 75 ice men, 60
boarding house keepers, 55 soldiers,
31 undertakers, 25 policemen, 15 pri
vate detectives, 18 cashiers and 11
letter carriers. —News,

I was attacked with a severe case of blood

nally, I went before a board .of physicians at
Tallahassee and was examined, and my case
was declared to be a virulent case of blood
poison, and all the medicine they gave me
failed to eradicate the dreaded disease, and
my life was in danger. I lost the use of my
left arm, and a physician ot this place said my
arm would have to be amputated. The cor
ruption that came from various sores was so
offensive that I disliked to come in contact
with my friends ai d neighbors. I took thirty-
two bnttlos-of an Atlanta blood purifier, also
a lot made in Baltimore, and in Tact every

benefit. I had entirely deapaired when your

A Description of Spokane.
From the Loutsvlllo Courier Journal.
A small, lean head, with a tapering,
finely pointed muzzle, a light jaw, and
large, luminous eyes, are the most ad
mirable features of hqi frontispiece,
which is adorned by a white star in
the middle of his forehead, and ^
stripe that extends not quite to his
nose. He has a tapering, blood like
nock, magnificent shoulders, a deep
chest, aud absolutely perfect legs, a
back of moderate length, a rather
light barrel, and stands upon four
small flinty feet, that are, so far as his
work has shown, without a blemish.
His quarters are of t he racing pattern,
and a pair ot clean aud well-muscled
“cat hams,” make up the entirety of
his personal appearance, save the
white stockings that ornament his
hind legs clean up to the hock.

Savannah’s New Road.
Savannah is going to raise $50,000
and donate it to Col. Hawkins in order
to insure the building of another line
of railway into Savannah. And it
will be a good investment for that
city.
Speaking of this the Morning News
says:
The canvassing committee has met
and subdivided the committee for a
thorough aud efficient canvass, aud
tho work will be entered upon to-day.
In addition to the assurances of Col.
Hawkins, president of the road. Presi
dent Baglcy, of the Atnericus Invest
ment Company, says that as soon as
the fund is raised and an option for
suitable terminal facilities is obtained,
the grentest activity, will begin along,
the line of the proposed extension,
and a large force of men will be put
on the line with a view of completing
it to Savannah six months earlier
than under the guarantee of Col
Hawkins.
If wc build to Cordelo Thomasville
will have another and competing line
to Snvqnnah ; a line not a great deal
longer than the present oue.

“The committee appointed by chair

about a dozen sub-committees,in which
each branch ot the commercial busi
ness is represented by committeemen
corresponding in business to the par

tW the canvassing committees have

quarters, and the indications are favor
able for raising the amount required.”
1,000,000 Child-Widows.
Edward Everett Hale, talking be
fore the Ramabai Association in New
York, on Monday, iu furtherance of
a fund for the child-widows of India,
mentioned some interesting facts.
He said that in India there are 100,-
000.000 women. Twenty million ot
these arc widows, and nearly 1,000,000
are “child widows”—under the age of
19—who aie enduring a bondage
worse thau slavery. He said it was
the custom for a man in India to hnvn
as high as 100 wives, soma of whom
were compelled to marry as early rs
8 or 9 years of ago. When the hus
band died his numerous wives joined
the vast army of slaves. These wid
ows arc compelled to wear one dress,
have to eat one meal a day, are never
allowed to speak to a man, exaeptipj
their flesh and blood relatives, one
cannot marry again except to a man
