The Dawson Journal is authority for the statement that Judge Guorry will not he a candidate lor congress at the next election. As Judge Gucrry is a citizen of Dawson, it is presumed that the Journal speaks by authority. Atlanta, as usual, leads. She start ed the flirt electric street railway ever operated in Georgia, this week. It run smooth, swift and noiseless. Some one who saw it start, said: “ I he niggers were freed sometime ago. and now the mule has been set free." The report of Commissioner Hen derson for the mouth ending July Jl, shows that the cotton crop in Georgia has been improved seven points since the last monthly report. The com missioner concludes that, the corn crop this year will he the best for the last ten years. The great lease bill has finally been disposed of in committee of the whole, and made the special order in the House next Tuesday. After its disposal by the House it will go to the Senate, where, in all probability, it will be amended. And the end is not yet. Col. Livingston was approached, during the late meeting of the State Alliance in Macon, on the subject of his candidacy for governor. The Col. like Barkis, appeared to be “willing.” Several other “deetricis'' arc to be heard from. The fight, when it is well under way, will he a lively one. At the battle of Malvern Hill, Sen ator Vance, of North Carolina, was charging up a hill with the shot rat tling about him and the air breathing fire, when he met an old hare with ears backed running for dear lifc.“Go it, Molly Cottontail,” exclaimed lie, “if I hadn’t a reputation to sustain I’d be with you.’’ The Constitution pays the legisla ture this handsome and deserved com pliment : It may he said ot the legislature now’ in session in this town that it is the most conservative ami the most thoroughly representative that the state has ever had. It has embodied in its action thus far the < icorgian motto—wisdom, justice and modera tion. A Local Military Company. One of the lessot s taught by the recent race disturbances in Atlanta, Forest City and Selina, is the necessi ty for the establishment in every community of njwcll officered and ef fective military company. It ts impossible to predict when and how often these race riots will occur, hut il is only reasonable to conclude that, with an inflammatory element in our population, ersily stir- rtd to violence, and too frequently irritated by incendiary utterances from outside sources anil from turbu lent representatives of their own race, that the history of the south for the next decade or more will he liberally sprinkled with disturbances of this kind, always serious in nature find startling in possibilities. There is no comparable protection to that which is afforded a community by a well drilled and effective milita ry company. No matter bow sud den Iv il riot may come, upon ajmo- nient’s warning a thoroughly organ ized company of men are at hand, to seize bold of regulation weapons, ready and waiting to defend the peace and interests of society under the high authority of the state. To oppose the mob with the mob is al ways uncertain and irregular, and leaves the result in doubt, with the additional disadvantage of no legal authority to back such opposition. But the steady tramp of uniformed soldiery, representative of authority and law, hacked by a governor’s directions, and emphasizing their protest at the point of a gleaming musket, is the most effective of all the agencies known, to quietmobs and to allay incendiary gatherings. The people of Rome are not wise and foreseeing, if they do not lend themselves thoroughly and heartily, to the encouragement and support of the excellent military company now existing Ju Tome. Every business man, every property owner has a vital interest in the continuance of this organization and can well aflord, as a wise investment, to put money, if it may he necessary, in the perpetuation and equipment of the Hill City Cu tlets. We trust that the stirring events of the last few weeks, and the ominous possibilities which they raise, will impress upon our people with what they owe in gratitude and in interest to the local military company. And we also trust that our repre sentatives in the legislature will be so tar impressed by the lessons ot the hour, as to give a hearty concurrence to any scheme considered by that body for the prosperity and greater effectiveness of the volunteer soldiery of Georgia.—Tribune of Rome. Louis Arnheim, of Dougherty, and Adolph Brandt, of Atlanta, both dead in a week. No representatives of the Hebrew race in Georgia ever mounted higher in public usefulness, or enjoyed more worthily a greater degree of public respect than these two lament ed and useful public servants. 'I hey were an honor to their race and to their adopted country.—Tribune of Rome. Pass Him Round At a meeting of Little Cedar Alli ance No. 1-t I, licit 1 July 2d, lWd, it was unanimously voted by the body to expel E. M. Ledbetter from the order and publish him as an imposter. The said F. M. Ledbetter, on the honor of an Allianceman, contracted, a debt with Lcekeifc Harris, of Cedar, town, Ga.jtind failed to pay said debt as per contract. He then gave a mortgage on five acres ot cotton and a yoke of oxen. The cotton lie didn’t have and he carried the oxen to Ala bama ami sold them. He also ran away with another man’s wife, and left a wife and four children behind him. J. W. Dkmi sy, Pres. J. N. Bi.ankinsiiii’, Bee. Wc alluded the other day to the fact that John B. Gordon Alliance had ex pelled two members for buying jute. Nowitscems the Alliance men are go ing to make all the members stand up to their contracts, especially with their wives. Another “Dying State.” A recent editorial in these columns, which discussed Nevada as a “dying state,” has aroused an echo in the east —Vermont. The New York Telegram says the mathematicians of the Green Mountain state have been fig uring out its asscsts of population, and the grand total has sent a chill down their spinal columns.” Sprouts from the parent trees have started into new- life out wist at such rate that Ver mont's vitality can’t stand the drain on its system, and now a state com mission is calling loudly for iinmi grants to come and save it. < >ld farm ers have abandoned their farms in such numbers that twenty thousand acres of good arable land are going to waste. The last state election shows the lowest poll for years. Vermont, in fact, is in a very had way. Ilcr voting men have grown tired of hard cider, maple sugar, and quilting bees, and have gone west to find something better than worked-out land and frayed-out attractions. Not only from Vermont, hut from other New England states the tide of young blood is pouring south and west. The boasted land of “protec tion to American manufacturers” has overdone the patriotic (?) impulse, and the lords of the loom have ab sorbc l the substance of the soil, till the latter is worn out and its tilers arc impoverished. Come south, young men, and grow lip under a newer and a better civilization ; the Caucasian manhood, of “tariff for revenue only,” and every man attend to his own business.—Timcs-L'uion Jacksonville.

Why is It People will continue to Inty groceries on 30 days’ time, and thereby pay Id per cent, more for thorn than they can buy them for for the spot cash. Don’t you know you are paying Id per cent, on some account the merchant can’t collect? He has to charge those who do pay, enough to make good his losses in hud accounts. It is perfectly lcgitiniate and business-like, too! He lias to live.
