Ad- dresscs^an be changed ns pften as is desired. Savannah’s crematory is a failure. Fifty prisoners are in Chatham county jail awaiting trial. And now the ice manufacturers have combined. But every one should try and keep cool. The government has succeeded in bull dozing .the Chippewa Indians out of three million acres of their land. The bill to create a hoard of par dons, which was defeated in the sen ate, has been reconsidered. And it ought to pass. Sir. Hand has introduced a bill to charter the Bainbridge and North eastern Railroad. Railroad charters are plentiful as blackberries. The newspapers head Talmagc’s last sermon “A Biblical Earthquake.” It has not created as much of a sensa tion as the Charleston earthquake. A young preacher in Alabama eloped with a lady mourner the other day, during a revival. Probably he thought that was the best way to save her. "Buflalo Bill” continues to divide the honors with Whitclaw Reid, in Paris. And in the meantime Win. Nye smiles, at the nearest saloon, in four different languages. •One of Wnnnruaker’s new post mas ter* out in Wyoming was lynched last week lor cow stealing. And now tliere is n vacancy in that Wyoming post office. The widow of the deceased will probably apply for a pension. The Western Union people get madder and madder the more they think over Wannamaker's cut in rates to be paid by the government. The coriespondencc is both voluminous and sanguinary. Chattanooga petitions the legislature not to include valuable real estate, belonging to the W. & A. R. R., in that city, in the lease. This property should be sold. The “Wattle,” grown in Australia, is said to be a good substitute for oak bark, used so extensively for tnnniug. The oak bark is rapidly diminishing. Briug on your “Wattle.” Is there no way of getting Colonel Elliott Shepard out of the country ? A small foreign appointment would do the work. Mr. Harrison, we appeal to you in this matter, and lake pleas ure in endorsing Col. Shepard—in order to lose him—if it be but lor the briet period in which the republicans will remain in power. Old man Ben Dugger gets a bill be fore the House which will commend itsclt to the people. It provides that all railroads shall fence iu their tracks in Georgia. It would really be eeon omy for the roads to do so. Tanner is in favor of Forakcr for president in 1892. Tanner and Fora ker arc a precious pair of rascals. But wouldn’t they make the surplus disappear? Under their manipulation Uncle Sam’s cash, like Henry Mc Lendon's fish, would “swink.” The physicians of Galena, Wis., are puzzled over the case of au infant child of Leroy Gibbs, in Warren township, that has* been asleep ever since its birth, eighl|wccks ago. The child, which is perfectly formed and of ordinary size, takes nourishment regularly, but never .wakes. Considered a Joke. We take the following from the proceedings of the house, on Monday: An attack wts made on the Saturday iiil- journments in the house to-dny, by Mr. Snclson, of Meriwether, who introduced the resolution that hereafter tile house shall not adjourn for the personal pleasure or benefit of the members, nml that the members shall not draw pay for the time of such adjourn ment. The house took the resolution ns a joke and tabled it promptly. This is too serious a matter to joke about, ns some of the honorable gen tlemen may learn when they return to their constituents. Wlmt regal right have these gentlemen, invested with a little brief authority, to leave their posts, days at a time, and still walk up to the feed trough and dc maud their four dollars a day? The people will get tired of this sort of thing after awhile. They arc tired of it now. The fact is gradually. oosing into the heads of some of the people, that a considerable proportion of the members go to Atlanta for a summer frolic, at the expense of the state. No member should he returned who does this. Let every s ich a one be, spot ted. In the meantime we wish Mr. Snclson well in his efforts to correct the evil. Mr. Snelson was the only man who voted for his b.ll which looked to a more punctual attendance of members. Is it possible there is not another member in the legislature who thinks it wrong for the members to go gala- vantin around over the country, on free passes, and, at the same time, drawing $4 per day from the State for services which they never rendered ? It is a sad commentary on that body. A WIFE-BEATER FLOGGED. Fifteen Lashes Laid on and Now He Must Serve Five Days. Baltimore, Md., July 29.—A Hagerstown (Md.) special to the American, narrates how an inhuman brute was to-day served with punish ment for his crime, the second case of the kind in Maryland. By the law of 1882 wife heating is punishable with at most forty lashes. C. A. Herbert, of Washington county, a man of huge frame, on Sat urdny came there and heat Lis wife, who is quite petite. He struck her repeatedly with his fist, and was about to hrnin her with a chair when his son and others interfered and had him arrested. lie was brought here before Justice E. Brithcr and was sentenced to fifteen lashes and five days in jail. This afternoon ho was stripped to the waist and handcuffed to the iron grat ing of his cell. A strap hound to n stout stick had been prepared. One of the keepers brought the lash down with n will, hut there was no cry for mercy. Each blow was accompanied by a low groan. Herbert had been before this same magistrate, charged with the same offense. The brute ought to have received the old standard number of lashes, forty, save one. “Call me Goorge.” The annexed story of Washington is from the Sacramento Bee: Some time ago a party of gentlemen at Woodland were discussing the char acteristics of George Washington, the father of his country, when Sant Ru- land, the gorgeousness of whose irnag ination has made him well known throughout the State, broke in upon the conversation: “You are right, gentlemen,” snid lie, “Washington was a cold, austere man. He was as haughty as could be, and a stickler for formalities. There was never but one occasion, so far as I have heard, when he threw aside the usual frigid ity of his demeanor. That instance was narrated to me many years ago by my grandfather, who served under Washington in the wnr of the revolu tion. It was the next day after a bat tle in which the British troops had been routed. The colonial troops were drawn up in ranks, nnd Washington rode down the line, mounted upon the white charger of which you have all heard. When he canto up to where my grandfather was standing, the latter called out: ‘Why, how do you do, general?’ Gen. Washington reined up his charger, dismounted, threw his arms about my grand father’s neck and exclaimed: ‘Ro land, do not call me genera!—call me George!’ ” Home of the members of the legisla ture appear to be worried about the Okcfenokcc swamp. The swamp will not bother them—if they will keep away from it. A Chicago Party Coming South-Trying to Hold Back Tanper—The Amount of Internal Revenue; What it Costs to Collect it—A Great Storm; It Reaches from the Lakes to Memphis and the Coast. Chicago, July 2(1.—Representa tives of the board of trade, the pro duee exchange, tlie lumbermen’s ex* change and the grocers’ association left Chicago to day in a special car over the Motion route, hound for Tampa, Fla. The | arty is in charge of Mr. Jtfhes, of Tampa, who is inter ested in the progress of railroad nnd steamship lines having Chicago and Tampa as their terminals. Washington, July 2!t.—The Pres ident and Secretary Noble are nppre hensive. that if Corporal Tanner remains in the pension office, Tie will insist upon going to the coming G. A. R. National Encampment, and there becoming mixed up again in the service pension scheme, although he has partially repudiated it. They think the enthusiastic atmosphere at the encampment may he too much for Corporal Tanner. They ntay keep him here, and they limy not. Washington, July 29.—Commis sioner of Internal Revenue Mason has made the following preliminary report of the operations of the internal reve nue service for the fiscal -year ending June 30 last. The total collections for the fiscal year just ended were §130,895,432, nnd this sum has been duly accounted for ar.d covered into the treasury. For the fiscal, year ended June 30, 1888, the total collec tions were §124,326,475, which com pared with the collections for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1889, shows an increase of §0,508,957. The cost of collection for the fiscal year just ended will aggregate about §4,185,000, exclusive of the amount expended for the printing of internal revenue stamps, which is paid from the appropriation made to the bureau of engraving and printing. The per centage of the cost of collection is a fraction less-than 3.2 per cent., which is exactly the same as the percentage of cost for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1888. Memphis, July 29—A heavy wind and rain storm struck this city iibcut 4:30 o’clock yesterday afternoon, nnd continued until a late hour hist night. Ashland, Wis., July 29.—The severest storm ever known here struck the city Saturday afternoon. It catne in the shape of a lowering cloud that seemed to burst over the city, accompanied by a tcrrilfic wind tfhich filled the air with nil kinds of loose matter. Trees were torn up and twisted from their roots. Findlay, O., July 29.—A tremend ous storm of wind and hail swept over this city last evening, blowing down fences, trees, Suthouscsand unfinished buildings, and doing a great deal ot damage of a general character. The wind was terrific and the rainfall tre mendous, while hail as large as hickory nuts fell. It was the most destructive storm of the year and the damage is very great. Baltimore,Md., July 29. —A special to the News from Salisbury, Md., says: “Yesterday between Laurel and Sea ford, a cloud burst occurred, flooding the country. The railroad tracks between Sealord and Delmar for twenty miles arc under the water most of the way. The corn fields are under water, with strawberry crates and baskets floating in the fields From Wednesday to this morning 11 3.4 inches of rain have fallen here.” Jehit, (Ja., July 27.—The Jrsup Sentinel luig been sold Ibis week to Capt. I». Miliken anil after the next issue will be edited by his daughter, Miss Fannin Miliken, who is one of the brightest, most accomplished and in telligent young ladies of the State, (’apt. J F. Stont^ who lias filled the Sentinel’s edito rial chair for the past two years, has accept ed a position ns salesman with a well-known Savannah firm. Miss Miliken will be cordially tvel corned to the guild. City of,Mexico, July 29.—The press is attacking the Chinese immi gration scheme. The reports that negroes are rccciv ing concessions for immigration to Mexico arc false. The Chattanooga Times stated that it did not want any parcel* of old, wornout cotton and woolen machinery transplanted to Tennessee, and the republican press is riding the Times around rough-shod, as lmviug pro tested agaiust auy more northern mills in Tennessee. Ho goes the gos siped—Timcs-Union, Jacksonville. The Salt Trust. Trusts arc multiplying rapidly. Every few days a new one is formed The advantages which trusts possess for robbing the people are getting to he well understopd. Not long ago sugar was selling at a very reasonable [trice. A sugar trust was formed and the price of sugar almost immediately was advanced about two cents a pound. The sugar reliuers say that the increased price of sugar is due to a short sugar crop. It is not general ly believed that such is the case. It is believed, however, that the sugar trust is buying immense quantities of raw sugar which it is stoiing. A day or two ago a great salt trust was formed at Albany, N. Y. It includes about all the salt producers in this country ■ and Canada. The bulk of the money invested in it belongs to English capitalists. The trust is capitalized at §15,000,000. Salt works are purchased at much more than their value and paid for in trust stock. In cases in which works are not purchased the product of such works is contracted for at so much per barrel. The trust, which is known a? the North American Salt Company, proposes to pay dividends of 20 per cent, on its stock. Of course the price of salt will he increased. Out of the pockets of the people will come the money that will enable the trust to pay the enormous dividend which it promises. The people will suffer, but the rich men who own the salt trust will rapidly grow richer. The shares of tho sugar trust arc now selling above par, and it is ex pected that the shares in the salt trust will also command a premium. But it would not be at all surprising if many of those who purchase cither sugar or salt trust certificates will find themselves heavy losers before long. It is pretty certain that a war is going to No waged on trusts iu congress, state legislatures and in the courts. The probability is that tho trusts will got tho worst of it. What will then be the value of the certificates? They will be almost worthless. Those who get into the trusts on the ground floor, however, will doubtless make a groat deal of money before the trusts fall into decay. Those who arc 011 tho ground floor own the sugar mills, salt works, etc., and if tho trusts go to pieces they will still have their orig inal property. Such will not be the case of outsiders who buy-the stock. The writers who arc making efforts to show that trusts nre goods things for the people nre cither ignorant or intentionally mistake the truth. The cheapness of kerosene is frequently cited to show what a great benefit the Standard Oil trust is to the people. Who can say that kerosene would not be cheaper if there -were no coal oil trust? The cotton • planters nre making progress in their fight against the cot ton bagging trust. There is not much doubt that progress will bn made in the wnr that has been inaugurated, or that will be inaugurated, agni.ist other kinds of trusts. The people arc patient, hut there is a limit to their patience.—News. REID & CULPEPPER’S 120-122 Broad St., - Thomasville, Ga [School and Blank Books, Stationery,: Of every style.
