General Sherman is tired of hearing

The Atlanta post office excitement
appears to have died out.
These experiments with the elixir
of life arc going too far. All Indiana
doctor has given some to a book
agent.
Dra. Hammond and Sayre, arc
passing left-handed compliments over
the former's alleged endorsement of
the new elixir. The elixir question
will result, it seems, in licks, sir.
Atlanta will have to pipe natural
gas from Dalton—if it develops in

first point to be established, is the
existence of the gas.
Kilrain is oflercd $250 to stand up

It is pretty safe to assert that the fight

There is an immense strike goin

A wealthy Californian left $6,500
the other day to a shop girl in New
York, who treated him politely while
making a purchase. Moral: It pays

Mr. Cleveland and Governor Hill
arc in the Adirondacks together. Wc
trust this information will not throw
any of the C. O. 1*. into a fit of pre
mature spasms. The real spasms will
come on in 1892.
The house has passed a bill to pay
clerks and managers of all general
elections. It will not be so difficult
hereafter to secure the services of clerks
and managers at elections. Well, they
should be paid.
Wc stop the press in order to say
that the Times Union, Jacksonville,
is one of the best daily papers on our
exchange list. The young man who
builds up those pithy editorial para
graphs, manages to concentrate a large
amount ol wisdom in a brief space.

Some one has compared Mahonc to
Gov. Hill, of New York. If Governor
Hill submits tamely to ibis, lie can
never be nominated lor President.
Hill ought to whip the man who made
the comparison.
On Cuban railways any passenger

Evan Howell tried to out cat 1 ton
Bain at a Washington county barbe
cue, the other day. The effort goes
down in history as one of Evan’s very
few failures in life. He ought to have
known better.
The Alliance endorses a dog law.
Now, we’ll sec whether the legislature
pays any attention to the recommend
ations of that large, respectable and
influential body of citizens. There
will be some old dodging when the bill
is brought up. Stand up to the rack,
gentlemen.
As oltcntinic lierctofoic suggested
in this column, there be many old pro
verbs and adages which should be
turned around hind end foremost. For
example, consider the curse that fol
lows the drinker, the proverb, "Cursed
be he who putteth the bottle to his
neighbor’s lips,” might be better read:
"Cursed is he who putteth his lips to
his neighbor’s bottle.”—Timcs-Union,

A New Issue.
From the following special to the
Telegraph it will lie seen that a new
question has been sprung in the leg!
lature. It, is one which affects, vitally,
the farmers and the agricultural in
terests of the state.
At i.anta, Ga., Aug. 2(1.—Senator
Gihhs this morning proposed a bill
calculated, in the cvenfcit heroines a
law, to try the state of the public tem
per in regard (o the exodus of negro
laborers.
The existing law, hy imposing a
license tax of 8500 for each county,
discourages and keeps away such emi
gration agents as may east a longing
eye upon the broad hacks of the
Georgia negro.
The Gibbs bill proposes to throw
down the bars and give these agents
a fair field by repealing that part ol
section -1,008 of the Code which mak
it, a misdemeanor for them to solicit
without first obtaining this expensive
license.
Senator Gihhs apprehends that the
farmers will find no difficulty in
retaining all the laborers they want.
Those negroes, lie says, who have
good places on larns will hardly aban
don so comfortable a certainty to test
the flattering blit unreliable emigration
agents, while the state will he speedily
relieved of 100,000 loafers, whose
presence is now a constant menace to
ood order in the Georgia towns.
The bill, lie says, was prompted by
this latter consideration.

AN EARTHQUAKE.
The Negro as an Inventor.
Prof. R. R. Wright, principal of the
Augusta high school, (colored), dcliv
crcd an interesting lecture at Reach
institute last night on "The Negro as
an Inventor.” The lecture showed
much study and research, and was
delivered in an easy and pleasant
manner. As a speaker Prof. Wright
is clear, fluent and logical, and is
considered probably the most eloquent
colored speaker in the state. He
mentioned about too nogro inventors,
but only one ol them took out a patent
previous to 1870 His audience was
large and very attentive. 'I'he small
hall was packed with about 600 people,
who went away pleased.—News.
Nineteen O’clock
And now they threaten to do away
with the old-notation of time, usinc a.
in. and p. m. to denote whether the
hour is in the forenoon or afternoon,
and instead to run the hours straight
up to 24. Instead ol 1 p. m. for in
stance, it would be 13 o’clock. Just
think how awkwark it would be for the
old, man not dressed to receive compa
ny, to stand at the head of the stairs
and bawl down at Samantha Jane, who
is entertaining young Noodles, in the
plarlor;
"I say, there, did you know it was
19 o’clock ?”
There will be one great big sigh of
relief when the discussion on the lease
bill comes to a close.
The best smeller now fails to detect
gas where it was alleged to have been
discovered near Dalton the other day.
The Georgia Slate Alliance Exchange
has ruled that no man who keeps an
Alliance store shall sell to any others
than members of the Alliance.
Atlanta wants the Alliance Ex
change. Wc reckon she’ll get it. It
would be just like her. We have no
objections to enter, as Tliomasville is
not applying.
Some days ago the bouse of "Uncle
Jim” Cheers, of Ilawkinsville, Fla.,
was burned with all its contents while
he and his wife were from home. The
white people there built burr another
house, and set him up as goedasnew.
The old man, no doubt prefers to be
called "Uncle Jim” by such neighbors,
rather than live in Ohio and Massa
chusetts to be called "Mr. Cheers,”
and have a few religious tracts and a
cheap ‘ God bless you” or two pre
sented.—Timcs-Union, Jacksonville.
Atlanta, Ga , Aug. 26.—The Ful
ton county commissioners to day
levied a county tax of 35 cents on the
hundred. It is levied on nearly $40,-
000,000 worth ot property.
It is said that several members are
“loaded" with amendments to the W.
A: A. lease bill. The bill has already
been mo!t thoroughly and exhaustively
discussed in committee of the whole,
and it is hardly probable that the house
will adopt any of the amendments
offered in the house.

CoT.U.wnrs, ()., Aug. 27.—One of
the most exciting conflagrations that
lias visited this city in years occurred
at the Ohio penitentiary this evening.
About 8 o’clock flames were dis
covered in the factory building occu
pied by the Columbus Chair Compa
ny. The fire started in the boiler
room where shavings became ignited
by coals from the boiler lurnacc.
The flames had made great headway
when discoyered, and the piison fire
department was utterly helpless. The
city department was called in, but
before the flames could be got under
control the chair factory, Columbus
bolt works and a large warehouse were
total wrecks.
The prisoners were locked in their
cells, but the fires had not been put
out, am! the greatest consternation
prevailed.
Whatever else may be said about the
failure ol the Brown-Sequard elixir,
several well authenticated cases of
wonderful relict by it in rheumatism
arc reported. But it is to have a rival
and competitor even in this class of
disorders. Dr. Tere, of Vienna, who
made tfie discovery that rheumatism
can be cured by the sting of bees, is
coming to this country to treat such
cases. Between his remedy and that
ot the Brown Sequard elixir, sufferers
from rheumatism may, in the language
of the showman, "pay their money and
take their choice ”

Why is It 1
People will continue to buy groceries
on .‘10 days’ time, and thereby pay 15
per cent, more for them than they can
buy them for for the spot cash. Don’t
you know you are paying 15 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 had accounts. It is perfectly
legitimate and business-like, too! lie
lias to live. But while it is perfectly
right in him to charge you that way,
it is very foolish in you to pay it,
hecauso you can make that per cent,
yourself by buying your goods for
cash. I will take your order at regu
lar prices, anil then discount it 15 per
