New railroads arc being projected all over the state. Forakcr lias about woru tbe bloody shirt into shreds. Let the garment be buried. The Constitution has bloomed into a Cleveland advocate for the presi dency in 1892. B. Harrison is scanning the hori zon lor some more cousins-in-law to appoint to office. Tbe new hotel, Mt. Boil-Air, at Augusta, has been leased and will be opened this winter. The new capital, thoroughly fur nished, will be turned over to the state on the 10th inst. The Oklahoma craze is playing out. Georgia offers more inducements than the new territory. «*Thc great Cronin mystery is still . unsolved. The Chicago detectives * -'-claim to bo on the track of the mur derers. What has.become of the movement to erect a monument to the late Alex ander H. Stephens? Georgia should not neglect this sacred duty. The women of Missoiiri wanttd to vote; the legislature says they shan't. A contemporary wittily remarks that they arc still allowed to “split stove wood.” The South is responding nobly to the wails of want from Pennsylvania's valley of death. In this work Gcor gia should not lag behind. And she will not. Mrs. Mary E. Bryan, who is well known here, receives 85,000 per an- nnm for editing Munroe’s Fashion : $4 Bazar. In addition to this She does a great de-il of othor literary work. A contemporary thus enumerates the B's in Boston: Bunker Hill, base ball, baked beans and Ben Butler. To these might be added bad boys. These latter are generally found in cities, and Boston is doubtless no ex eeption to the rule. It is said that the city government of Guthrie, Oklahoma, is “run with a high hand.” The fellow who holds four aces, bolds the highest, hand— unless the other fellow holds a revol ver or a bowie knife. These last al ways take the pot. Ham Jones has been trying to re form Californians. Bam admits that his efforts were a dismal failure. He says the people of that state arc goiug hcllward foster than a hound dog can run. At this rate of speed they will arrive at their destination very soon. Havannnh is making a big effort to raise 850,000 to gel a new milroad in to that city. Mr. John II. Young, president of the Board of Trade, says that the importance of the proposed extension of the road from Aracricus to that city can hardly lie over-esti mated, and should not be lost sight of. The great Woolfolk trial is going ’ on in l’crry, Houston county. His counsel, headed by CoL Rutherford, are making despciate efforts to save the prisoner’s neck. The chances arc that he will be again convicted. And tbe general impression is thnt he ought > te be. Debts of the States. The recent issue of the statistical abstract of the United States contains a statement of the debt of the several states of the union. Their combined indebtedness foots up the snug sum of 8220,000,000. This would not be a heavy burden on thirty-eight great states if it were equally distributed atnoug them. But it is unpleasantly lumped o.i sonic states, while others have little to carry, and some of the poorer states have among the heaviest loads. Illinois, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Colorado have no debt; Kentucky owes only 8074,000, Mississippi 81,- 105,150, Kansas 81,500,000, New Jersey less than 82,000,000, Florida 81,275,000, Minnesota and Ohio 84,- 000,000 each. The great state of New York has a debt of only 87,000,000. Georgia is put down for 88,752,005, but there is about property enough held by the state to square up ac counts. The heaviest state debt is that of Virginia, which consists of a funded debt of 820,550,090 and an unfunded debt of 88,012,040, Massa chusetts conics next, with a debt of 801,000,000, and Tennessee is thl owing 817,000,000. The debt of Pennsylvania is 815,000,000, that of Arkansas 812,029,100, of Louisiana 811,982,021, of Missouri 89,525,000, of Alabama 89,214,300, of South Carolina 87,012,741, North Carolina about 812,000,000, and of Texas 84,- 237,730. The total funded debt of the Southern states is placed at 896,- 158,643. The New York Sun accounts truly for the accumulation of this great bur den when it says; “This heavy and enormously dis- propoitionate burden is mainly due to the years of misgovern meat and plun der which the South endured under republican carpet-bag rule. That was broken up by the efforts of the South ern democrats, aided by the Sun and some other newspapers; and the mel ancholy period ended forever with the election of Samuel J. Tilden as l’resi dent of the United States. “It is well to remember these tilings once in a while. The figures of the Sol them state debts, even at the pres ent time, remain as a reminder. The wonderful energy and new prosperity of the South is steadily decreasing the luouutaiu of stntc debts piled up dur ing the eight evil years of Grant and carpet-bag rule.” Mr. Dauiel Hand, the philan thropist. who recently left one million of dollars for the purpose of educating the negroes of the South, supplement ed the princely gift with some good advice. It was that “they should not become office-seekers, and should abandon at once, and forever the ex pectation of aid from the government for them ns colored people, and that above all, that which is most vital to them for this world and the next is love to God and man, and that the Bible is the best source of light and the foundation of their surest hopes.” As the colored race is goiug to take the money, it is to be hoped they will take and follow the advice accom panying the gift. It is certainly good counsel. The following brave words used l>y Grover Cleveland, in his late speech in New York, is a true index to the man: “I conic to you with no excuses or apologies, and with no confession of disloyalty. It is not given to .nan to meet all various and conflicting views of party duty aud policy which pro vail in an organization where individ ual opinion is so freely tolerated as in the democratic party. A ud yet, when they are honestly held aud advocated, they should provoke no bitterness or condemnation; but when they are dishonestly proclaimed, as a mere cover and pretext for personal resent ment and disappointment, they should be met by exposure and contempt, which they deserve. No man can lay down the trust which he has held in behalf of the generous aud confid ing people, and feel at all times he has met iu the best possible way the requirements of his trust; hut he is not derelict iu duty if lie has conscien tiously devoted his eflorts aud his judgment to the people's service.” The American, of Philadelphia, is republican to the core, but it can’t stand some of President Harrison’s appointments. It says the domina tion of Quay, if continued, will dis rupt the Republican party in Penn sylvania aud that the jicrsons who have been forced on the President by Quay arc conspicuously inferior to their predecessors, who were appoint ed by President Cleveland. If the American will take tlie'trouble to look over the entire list of President Harri son’s appointments it wiii lie able to extend the scope of this remark ccb- sidcrably. The Great Disaster- Every day brings to light new bor rors at Johnstown, Pa. The loss of life will never be known. Hundreds, per haps thousands of dead, will never be known. This continent has never witnessed such a wholesale loss of life. U'e append the following extracts from the press dispatches of yesterday: At the present rate there will soon be a live man digging in the ruins to every dead one. Evans Johns, the Pittsburg contractor, who, until Wm. E inn arrives to-morrow, lias charge of the smoky city force, said to-day that 2,200 men would he at woik in the ruins by to-morrow morning. A large number arrived from Pittsburg today, and 500 more are announced for to-morrow. There are twenty-five foremen here, all level-headed fellows, who keep their unwieldy and almost exhausted forces under masterful con trol. Although they were scattered all over the waste places to-day, heavy work was done on the point district, where a couple of hundred mansions lie in solid heaps of brick, stone and timbers. The labors of the search ers were rewarded by the discovery of a corpse about every five minutes. As a general thing, the bodies were man gled and unrecognizable, unless by the marks or letters on their person. As decomposition has set in, the work is becoming one that tests their hearts. The sad, sad story of Conemaugh is not without its deeds of heroism, ihe appalling scenes of horror developed daring courage where least expected, while every day heroes, in the midst of terrilying scenes, usually degener ated into arrant cowards. Those who viewed the frightful scenes of fire and flood agree that the hopelessness of the situation was first fully realized by the. women, and that in the tender sex was exhibited that dauntless courage which is born of resignation. Mothers coolly sacrificed themselves to the fury of the (lood or fire to save the lives of their children and loved ones. Not infrequently some pale-faced woman, clinging with her child to floating debris realizing that the support was too frail for the two, would he seen to lift her precious burden high upon the floating debris, and with a hasty kiss, bidding farewell to all that bound her to the world, sank beneath the waves. Edward C. Willis, a young foundry- man of Cambria, 27 years old, whom no one ever suspected possessed more than ordinary courage, when the flood was at its height, and people were floating down the rushing torrent in hundreds, rushed to his boat, and, senseless to the pleadings of wife and relatives, shoved his frail craft out into the angry current. Gliding alongside a floating roof upon which a woman and two children were kneeling with blanched faces and stony stare, he skilfully evaded the obstructions that threatened to crudi the craft, and lilting the terrorized creatures to ms boat, shot across the current hack to the bank. A shout of applause swell ed from the throng that lined the bank, hut unmoved by the plaudits, ycung Willis repeated the perilous journey seven times, until twenty-two lives had been saved by his indomitable energy. The next day, when the most of Johnstown was still under water, Wil lis ascended the stream to the desolate city and again distinguished himself by many acts of heroism and endur ance. A tribute too great cannot be paid to his noble cbaracter, but, alter all, among the heroes that these strange scenes developed, lie is only one of many. Since the last sentence was penned a party of searchers unearthed a charr ed and unsightly mass from the smoul dering debris within thirty yards in front of the Associated Press head quarters. Unused to such frightful discoveries, the leader of the gang pronounced the remains to be a black ened log, and it required the authora- tativc verdict of physicians to demon strate that the ghastly discovery was the charred remains of a human being. Only the trunk remained, and that was roasted beyond all semblance to flesh. A five minute search revealed frag ments of the skull that at once disin tegrated, of its own weight, when exposed to the air, no single piece being larger than half a dollar, and the whole resembling remnants of shattered charcoal. Within the last hour half a dozen discoveries 111 no way less horrifying than this have been made by the searchers, as they rake with sticks and hooks in the smoking ruins. So diffi cult is it at times to determine whether the remains arc those of human beings that it is apparent that hundreds must he fairly burned to ashes. Thus the number that have found a last resting place beneath these ruins can at best never be more than approximated. The country stands aghast at the fearlul loss ot life. The survivors arc receiving, as they should, substantial sympathy from all parts of the civilized world. ‘Breeches Maker” Wauiuuukcr, as your Uncle Allen Thurman calls him, plays pious on Sunday and gives the democrats the d 1 during the week. ! “Call Me Cap’n." The Times-Umon, Jacksonville, in discussing the qualifications of Bar- num’s successor as chairman of the National democratic executive com mittcc, quotes from Simon Suggs as follows: “Gentlemen,” said Simon Suggs,the hero of Tallapoosa, "we must now percecd to elect a cap’n. What you want is er man about five feet in his socks, sandy hair, red whiskers, a skyar onto his left arm, one eye sorter cross ed, who ain’t aleered o’ the devil him self, and is sum punkins in a bar fight. Gentlemen, I see by the expression in your counternances that the man you want now stands before you. All op posed say ‘no.’ Unanimously carried. Eall in, every durn one o’ye, and while off’ii duly, I don't min’ yer callin’ me plain Sam, but when red nosed war gits ter stompin’of his foot, and the battle railly begins, you’ie got ter cum up ter lick log, sho’ pop, and call me cap’n! and you must call it out loud, too!” State Road Business. Atlanta. June 4.—[Special to Ma con Telegraph.]—There has been filed with the comptroller-general the an nual statement of the Western and Atlantic railroads for the year ending May r, 1889.

Andrew Carnegie has an article in the current number of the North American .Review on the evils of wealth, in which he says that the fac tory system has divided employers and employees into casts which have no intercourse or sympathy with each other. After the publication of the article Mr. Carnegie reduced the wages of Lis workmen 10 per cent., probably for the purpose of illustrat ing tlic truth of his views. Georgia politicians are figuring on the next governorship of the state al toady. Too soon, gentlemen. Wait for the wagon. His name is R. J. McKinney; his residence is Woodbury, Hill county, Texas; his statement M&y 1889: My little son was cured by S. S. S. of bad sores and ulcers, the result of a general breaking down of his health from fever. He was considered incurable, but two bottles of Swift’s Specific brought him out all right. Mr. John King, of Jackson, Miss., says that he was cured of rheumatism in his feet and legs by taking Swift’s Specific. This was after he had tried many other remedies,both internal and external, and paid many doctor’s bills. ’ KILL FLIES. Insect Powder Fly Paper. Casski.s'" Piiaum.u v, 118 Broad street. JKIISEY MILK.
