It would be economy for Macon

to the same limb.
The Liberty county Messiah is now
in the asylum at Millcdgeville. His
deluded colored followers arc still

An exchange says that the late Sul
livan and Kilrain mill is no longer re

now called Sullivan and Kiirain’s
“flight.”
And now Miss Caldwell, another
American girl, is going to marry a

The administration is taking a va

and it is to be hoped—a long vacation,

IS Every member of the legislature
ought to vote for Gordon’s bill to omit
the reading of bills, except by cap
tion, on the first reading. It would
save the State thousands of dollars.
Some one has said that life and liv
ing is up-hill work. The trouble with
many people is that they climb hills
before they get to them. And this is
the hardest kind of climbing. Push
right ahead, and the mountains will
dwindle down to mole-hills.
The ministers of Charleston excori
ated McDow, in their sermons, or
Sunday. Murder and adultery were
shown up in their blackest colors.
The effect of these sermons will not
only be felt in Charleston, but through
out the country. Let tht,, fight be
kept up.
If a criminal wants to escape pun
ishment, he ought to make tracks for
Tennessee. Gov. Taylor and fudge
McAllister will shield him. And this
is anything but creditable to that
State. The State is likely lo reap a
big harvest of criminal immigrants.
A spirited discussion is going on in
the newspapers as to whether Mr,
Lincoln was a religious man or not
It occurs to us that, as the question
in the case has been adjudicated in the
highest ecclesiastical court in the uni
verse, the agitation of the subject
down here is out of order.
Two Important Questions.
Judge f). B. Harrell, of Wcbsler, is
a level-headed legislator. His views
upon important slate questions are
those of a careful observer and logical
thinker. He believes in higher edu
cation, and would like to sec the slate
university amply provided for and
branch colleges in each county, but lie
says: “f think our first efforts should
be to peitcct the common school sys
tern, both as a mailer of policy and as
a matter of clear constitutional duly.”
No one who has given the question
of education careful study, can doubt
tor a moment that the best interests of
this state require that the claims of
the pub ic schools take precedence of
those of higher education. It is the
duty of the legislature to provide an - ,
ply for good public schools in each
county, before appropriating any
monev for colleges Higher educa
tion cannot be too highly appreciated,
but it would be unjust to the massis
of the people, and against the best in
terest of society, to build up colleges
and universities at the expense of the
public schools. If*lhe stale is able to
give the public schools all they need,
and still have money lo appropriate
for educational purposes, no one will
complain if the requests in behalf of
higher education arc complied with,
but no arguments and no amount of
eloquence can convince the people
that colleges should he helped while
the common schools arc struggling
for existence.
. With reference lo the state road,
Judge Harrell says that lie is firmly
convinced that it ought to bo sold.
H is reasons for this opinion are sound
ones. He does not think that the
state ought to own any property ex
cept that which is necessary to carry
on the government. Who will deny
that, lie is right? All the property
that the state lias, except what is nee
e-ssary for purposes of government,
ought to he sold; and the money ob
tained for it appropriated to the pay
ment of the public debt.
Judge Harrell points out that one
of the reasons why there is so strong
an opposition to the sale of the state
road is the fear that fhe sale would
operate agniust the common school
fund, but lie shows that the road
could be add on such t:rms that the
school fund would receive more than
it docs at present. Although the pro
vailing sentiment is now in favor of
leasing the road, the time may soon
come when it will appear that those
who oppose selling the road made a
mistake. The changes that arc con
stantly being made in the railroad
situation are so frequent and great
that it is not at all improbable that
within a few years the road will he
virtually bottled up and its value
greatly lessened.—Savannah News.
A BETTERMENTS BOMB.
A Proposition to Resort to Arbitration.
Atlanta, Ga., July 16.-—The bet
terments bomb exploded in the Wes
tern and Atlantic railroad committee
meeting this afternoon. It has been
expected several days, hut it was gen
erally looked lor first in the House.
Near the close, of the session of the
committee, the lease bill being about
finished, Mr. Huff, of Bibb county,
who has watched every development
like a hawk, suggested that if the
time had arrived for this lease bill,
the time bad also arrived to ascertain
just what the state had to*lease.
Judge Knwson, of Putnam, thought
so too, and said lie had a resolution
touching the subject, which lie desired
to submit.
DRIFT OF Tin: liKSOl.FTION.
I To drew the document from his
pocket and read it. The resolution
was in effect that, while not commit
ting the state in any way to admission
or allowance of betterments, it pro
posed to submit the whole question
to arbitration, the state to select one
eminent railroad man and one end
nent lawyer, the lessees to make alike
selection, and these to select a fifth
member of the board; the whole mat
ter of betterment's to be submitted to
this hoard, and their decision to be
absolute and final. The resolution, it
is reported, was drawn by Maj. Joseph
B. I'll aiming, of Augusta, attorney
for the lessees. The resolution demor
alized the committee into an adjourn
ment before any discussion could be
had.
RAISED A STIR.
There was considerable stir about
the hotels and among the members
to night, this new move in the big
game furnishing the topic of talk. It
rumored to night that the resolu
tion, perhaps in a modified form, prob
ably subjecting the hoard selected to
ratification by. the legislature, will be
introduced in the House by some
member friendly to the lessees a id in
favor of betterments. . It is apparent
that the lessees’ interests arc here,and
that they have friends here busy with
the legislature. That they will bring
every pressure to bear to obtain large
betterments, cannot be doubted. The
feeling here to-night is that the great
betterments fight is now on, and that
it will be a lively one.
Perfect the Common Schools.
A perfect system of public schoo s is the
demand of the day. What can save our
country from the wreck of monopolies, the
terrors of anarchy an 1 the crushing result
of centralization, hut an educated, enlight
ened and conservative ha'lot. Then educate
the whole people ami not the few'.I’ut a perfect
system of education within the reach of the
sons and (laughters of toil, where the chan
tvs of every youth shall be equal, and
the man who wins the prize have the higlu
education free. The branch colleges can
not do this, they are out of the reach of the
country boys who have to help jibout horn
and yet are hungering and thirsting for
knowledge.
Educate the girls, too. Who is to simp
the lives of the men of the future out the
mothers w,.o rear them ? If “the hand that
rocks the cradle rules the world,” let the
hand he that of an educated, refined, culti
ated mother, whose highest ambition for
her children .“lmll be that they become no
ldc men and women, standing in honor
among the sovereign people of Geor
Southern AH inner Farmer.
We endorse the above, but would
add that higher education, the pros
perity of the University and branch
colleges should be helped and en
couraged. A young man, and there
are hundreds such iu Georgia to-day
who wants to climb the educational
ladder to the top, should, also, be giv
en a chance. The common schools
and higher education go hand
hand. Let both receive the lostering
care of the State.
A Change of Term.
Chancellor Pierson, of the University
the state of New York, has made a new lc
parture. lie wants school commencements
held at a cooler season of the year. Christ
mas week is suggested as the proper time
for the annual convocations, instead of June
and July. It is a time when festivity is
the air, even the “stilly air” of classical
colleges. Then the misletoc. instead of the
holly-hock, will hang over the sweet girl
graduate, and sleigh rides will supersede tf e
barren promenade or the sweltering dance,
People are at leisure during the holidays,
and there is really no reason why a bache-
lor’of arts should not get a diploma in his
locking.
The Southern season is even better suited
for a Christmas commencement than the
Northern. All around, the crisp, bracing
air of winter is more inviting to intellectual
effort than the pressing swelter of summer.
There arc more rosy cheeks and bright eyes
at that season.—Augusta Chronicle.
It sounds somewhat paradoxical to
call the end of a session a “commence
ment.”
Tanner in More Trouble.
Wash [No i.on, July 10.—Corporal
Tanner and Assistant Secretary Bus
sey have locked horns over the re
moval by Bussy, during Tanner’s

Fitzpatrick, the referee in the
rcat Kilrain-Sullivan slugging

It is now claimed that Sullivan
when but one year old, gave his grand
mother a “diff ’ which colored the old
lady's eye black. Upon this evidence
it is proposed to send Sullivan to Con
gress. Well, John might make him
self useful in Congress by knocking
some of the long-winded speakers
out on thq first round. Then, in case
of a disturbance in the house, he
would be ot invaluable assistance to
the sergeant at-arms in preserving or

■ ^ •••
The proposed bill to make the term
of service one year, at lanst, in the
volunteer military companies of Geor
gia, will give a permanency and stand
ing to these companies which they
have never had. The State is going
to be asked to appropriate money to
aid her citizen soldiery, and she lias a
right to ask a years’ service from each
of her soldier boys. The volunteer
soldiery of Georgia is the State’s pro
tection. The State would not be safe
without these organizations. The ono
year clause will make them still more
effective.
It is very gratifying to lee that llu- north

soon as a prize fight came oil’ in the sunt!
By all means these brutnl fistic exhibitions

state, it is to tie hoped unit the norther
press will do everything possible to plover
it._ AY,,.,.
The very day upon which Sullivan
and Kilrain fought in Mississippi
there was a bloody and brutal mill
fought in the shadow of New York
City. Stop slugging up there, gentle
men. We’ll try and corral the next
pair ot bullies who come South to
exhibit their pugilistic powers.
A Move in the Right Direction
Rcpi'psenalivc W. W. (.onion intro
duced into (lie legislature, a day or
two ago, a very important bill, 'ft
provides for amending the constitu
tion so as lo do away with the first
reading of bills iu each house, except
by title.
When bills are read for the first
time tinder (he present practice the
whole of them is read. It is estimated
t this reading consumes about one-
half of the time of the winter session,
and one-fourth of that of the summer
session. It is apparent, therefore,
that it is very expensive lo the stale.
The expenses of the legislature are
about $1,150 a day, and the cost of the
first reading of bills cannot hi- less
than $50,000 for each legislature.
This amount Capt. Gordon proposes
to save by Ibis bill.
We want a constitutional amend
ment making a dog owner ineligible
to a seat in the Georgia legislature,
then, may be, we can get rid of the

of the board of medical examiners.
Bussey removed them for recommend
ing rcrating of pensions in order to
give large arrears to employees of the
office and others. He did this chief
ly on in.'ormation furnished by Dr.
McMillan and other members of the
board. Corporal Tanner has vowed
that McMillan must go for thus inter
fering with his work of increasing
pensions
One thing that peculiarly riled Cor
poral Tanner was that the papers
forwarded to the - Assistant Secretary
by Dr. McMillan bore on them
stamped words, “Through the com
missioner,” although Corporal Tanner
was out west and would not have for
warded them if lie had been here.
The fight is so hot between Bussey
and Tanner that one or the other
tuny have to go. Secretary Noble is
doing what he can to keep it quiet
and secure peace.
Johnstown’s Big Fund.
1’tTTsnrno, Pa., July 10.—The
Pittsburg committee for the relief of
the Johnstown sufferers this morning
voted §400,000 of the funds on hand
to the state commission for distribu
tion by the latter. The Pittsburg
committee has decided to wind up its
affairs, and leave the state commission
in charge.
Ail Knocked Out.
John L. Sullivan lms increased Ins pug
ilistic prestige in Boston, his home, but 1ms
not added to his political stature, lie re
marked after lie had knocked out Kilrain
that he w mid not light Jackson, the Aus
tralian negro, because lie did not believe in
t white man bringing himself to thi? level.
This was an audacious demarcation of the
color line and was a red defiance wav^ in
liic home of abolitionism.
It must have stirred up their followers in
the home of Wendell, Philips, Lloyd Har
rison and B. F. Butler. Just think of the
great lights of history being snuffed by the
inpious hand of Sullivan; the moral of a
century of political revolution going down
one roun l under the foot of Miildoon’s
protege! We shall expect to hear of the
prompt arrest of John L. when lie reaches

In many instances it has been proven that
B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm) made by Blood

on in its worse phases, even when all other
treatment fails.
A. P. Brunson, Atlanta, writes: “I had
24 running ulcers on one leg and t> on the
other, and felt greatly prostrated. J believe
I actually swallowed a barrel of medicine in
vain efforts to cure the disease. With little
hope I finally acted upon the urgent advice
of a friend and got a bottle of. B. II. B.
experienced a change, and my despondency
was somewhat dispelled. I kept using it
until I had token sixteen bottles, and all the
ulcers, rheumatism and nil other horrors of
blood poison have disappeared, and at last I
am sound and well again,after an experience
of twenty years of torture.”
Uobcrt Ward, Moxey, Ga., writes: “My
disease was pronounced a tertiary form of
blood poison. My fucc, head and shoulders
were a mass of corruption, and finally the
disease began eating my .skull liones. My
liones ached; ray kidneys were deranged; I
lost flesh, and life became a burden. All
said I must die, but nevertheless, when 1 had
used ten bottles of B. B. B. I was pronounc
ed well. Hundreds of scars can now be seen
on me. I lave now been well over twelve
months.”
