N.B. BI.'KR. liiisliicftn Malinger. Not Persecuted Wc publish elsewhere an article from the Americas Recorder, headed: “A Plea for the Persecuted.” It is laudatory of the legislature. The Re corder pays high and just tribute to the body. No one will gainsay the proposition that there arc scores and scores of good, able aiul conscientious members who stay in their places and do their best to expedite public busi ness. But it is, also, notoriously true that there arc others who habitually nbsent themselves from the halls of legislation, without good cause, and yet continue to draw their pay. They not only get pay for services not ren dered, but their absence obstructs business. If a member is called away by urgent business, or from providen tial causes, lie is perfectly justified in temporarily absenting himself. It is those members who take two days in the week to gad around on free passes, who arc being lashed by the press. And the lashing is richly deserved. The Times Entkrprise has had no criticism for men who have been providentially, or by necessary busi ness, called away, but it has paid its respects to the other class, and expects to do sn in the future. And there’s no “persecution” in it. There arc members losing money by staying in Atlanta at $4 per day; these are trying to get through with the business. There arc others who do not, perhaps, make S I per day at home; these do not care how long the session lasts. . Nobody wants the legislature to rush business unnecessarily. All want the members to take ample time to digest every measure, hut they arc opposed to one or two days being vir tually thrown awav every week. Each day’s session costs the tax pay ers of the State 81,500. There is no danger of criticisms on chronic absentees “deterring the best men from accepting a position which lays them liable to have their motives impugned and integrity impeached.” 0,no, the “best men” will stay in their places and attend to business. No danger of that class being criticised. It occurs to ns that if the chronic absentees could he weeded out and wc hope they will he in the next ses sion—good men, and plenty of them, would readily be found to take their places. A member who is conscien tiously trying to discharge his duties, by staying in his place, unless neces sarily called away, will not object to the criticisms of the press in this matter. If we have, at any time, fired a shot which hit the “other fel low,” why we’re glad of it. Meeting of Mercer Baptist Association.

I.—The President remained indoors about all day and did not attend church as usual. It is probable that he will leave Deer park the middle of this week, perhaps on Wednesday, and go to Washington. The President has been urged to go to the celebration of hog Cabin college, in Pennsylvania, the forerunner of Princeton university and on Thursday he may go there. A week from to-morrow lie will probably attend the industrial parade in Haiti more, and arrive back in Deer Park Tuesday morning. Lexington, Ya., Sept. 1.—The funeral services over the remains of Mrs. Julia Jackson Christiiin too!; place this morning at the Presbyter ian church. The services were con ducted by Rev.' Thomas L. Preston, D. D., pastor, assisted by Rev. Ebcn- ezer Junkin, D. C., of Houston, Tex. The church was jammed, tlm entire population of the place being out. She weather was fair and warm. The body was interred beside her father’s, Gen. Thomas J. (Stonewall) Jackson. The scene at the church and grave was unusually pathetic. Many of the battle scarred veterans of the confederacy, with heads bowed and in tears, watched the remains laid to rest, Choice floral offerings came from many places. The funeral party from Charlotte, N. C., left here to night for home. Niagara Falls, N. W.Sept. 1.— Last Sunday afternoon Charlisle D. Graham made a successful trip through the whirlpool rapids, mael- etroin and Foster's flats, before an assembled multitude of 15,000 people. That was preparatory to his effort to day to pass over the falls, which, ac cording to Graham himself and a few eye-witnesses, was accomplished in safety. The same barrel was used. . At 6 o’clock this morning it was towed out into the river by Andy Horn and Garrett Stanly, and at 0:45 o’clock it was let go at a point opposite Chippewa creek. Down the current it swept, plunging over the reels, often out of sight, till at 7:80 o'clock it approached the Irrink and dropped 200 feet into the abyss be low. The barrel soon arose intact and was discovered in the eddy. El mer Jones swam out from the Canadian shore, caught a rope fastened to the barrel, and towed it to the shore, where Graham was lifted out by Jones and Mr. Cahill. Graham was quickly brought, more dead than alive, to Horn's saloon, on this. side. He says: “The first I knew was when some one struck the barrel and said: ‘Graham, are you alive?” He com plained of terrible pains in the hack and head, from the rocking he had re ceived, and could talk hut incoherent ly. About a dozen people verify the statement that Graham was in tiie barrel, and many more will say that they saw the barrel go over. Graham was probably led to his exploit hv the appearance here of Kteve llrodie, with the avowed intention of jumping the falls. The month with ail R. is here. And the juicy bivalve will now come to the front. Yellow Jack, with the lapse of a few short weeks, will have to , take a hack seat for the year 1889. What “Thomasville” Has to Say About the Park Question. Mr. Editor: I liave read with interest and pleas ure, the communications of “l’ark” on the Park. He is one of those high- toned and intellectually honest men, who always manage to get on the right side of all public questions. But Park is a better reasoner than figurer. He says the Park will cost only 021 cents taxes on each thousand dollars, for thirty years. In this he is plainly at error. His calculation is made 011 the basis of only 82,000,000 of taxable property. But the taxable property of Thomasville is rapidly in creasing each year, and as it increases the 021 cents must decrease. When the taxable property shall have doubled, which will occur long before the thirty years shall have expired, the 021 cents will become 01 j cents, value of property adjacent, will great ly help in paying for itself. But this is not all. “Park” correct ly states that the sinking fund of 8500 per year < an lie safely invested at 5 per cent. This interest will give 825 the second year, and each year there after, which, together with the 825.00 annual interest 011 each subsequent 8500.00, will reduce tfle 8750.00 total interest at the rate of 825.00 per an num. Now it is plain that as the *750.00 of interest decreases annually, the rate of taxation will decrease, bc- eau-c less money will have to he raised. This decrease will begin tho second year. Adding these two causes of decrease together, 1 think it is a conservative statement, to say that the G24 cent rate will sink to 25 cents in ten years. Verily, the cost of the park is a very small matter It is as though a father objected -to buying a book for his child, with pictures in it, because, forsooth, the illustrations cost a trifle more. Above all tilings, let us be honest about this matter, bet us look well into our motives, and see that tliev are such that the world might look upon them and wc be not nshmed. “Tiiomabviele.” DIL A.

Yours very respectfully, 30-ht . MARY F. HARM'S. Every third person you meet is troubled more or less with biliousness, and don’t know how to get rid of it. The causes are easily recorded. A lack of sufficient exercise, eating too much by persons of sedentary habits, indulge ence in too rich food, a sluggish torpid liver where the blood does not do its duty, and bile is allowed to. accumu late; these cause the whites of the eye to-turn yellow, the skin to look thick and coarse, and the complexion yellow or dark. These arc sure indications of biliousness. Brown’s Iron Bitters is the remedy you want. It acts di rectly upon the blood, cleanses and purifies it, and sends it on its journey through the channels of the liver, giv ing to it activity and clearing out the bile. It will remove the yellow tinge from the eyes and the complexion, leaving the latter fresh and clear. Young Female College, Thomasvillo, Gfa. Fall Session Begins Wednesday, September 4th, 1889.
