Too much of this appears to be going on. The Berner bill, as it deserved, has met with defeat. Georgia wants no harsh legislation. The bill to allow the Marietta and North Georgia railroad to come into Atlanta should pass. The State Fair and the Piedmont exposition are-being boomed. It will pay to attend both.

A Boston girl, at Niagara, for instance, would say: “When falls the doo, we’ll do the falls”—Times-Union, Jacksonville. Hamlet said “a tanner is good for nine years.” Hamlet evidently did not have Corporal Tanner is his eye, when he made the remark. Our Tanner has not been good for six months. In fact he is no good. The City of Birmingham outrode the great storm on the Atlantic coast, in gallant style. The Chattahoochee has not been beard from, but her fine sea going qualities and stauncli build has doubtless kept her afloat. Many Sa- vannians are aboard of her. “No Fence” In Georgia. The last report of the commissioner of agriculture for Georgia gives a list of those counties in the state which have adopted the “116 fence law,” and of the practical operations of tho law. It appears that at the time of cx- Commissioner Jones’ report upon this subject, in 1882, seventy-three counties had adopted “no fence,” three had rejected it by vote, and in sixty-four no election had been held. It is not to be expected that in a pro gressive state like Georgia any of the counties which had adopted the law would repudiate it, and it docs not appear that they have, but the in crease in “no fence” counties from 1882 to 1880 lias not been 'as great as it should have been. All of the counties were not included in the re ports to Commissioner Henderson the other day, but of those included seventy-five had adopted the “no fence” law, four had rejected it, and in fifty no election had been held. In North Georgia there arc thir teen counties in which the “no fence” law is in operation, three in which it, has been rejected, and twelve in which no election had been held. In Southwest Georgia fourteen counties have adopted ‘.‘no fence,” and seven teen have manifested their indiffer ence or opposition, ns the case may be, by not holding an election. In East Georgia seven counties have adopted “no fence,” and seven have held no election. The “no fence” law is not in operation in any of the counties of Southeast Georgia, hut forty-one counties in Middle Georgia reported to Commissioner Henderson its adoption, and none reported its rejection or the failure to hold an election. It is worthy of note that the farmers of Middle Georgia are prosperous. Probably they are more prosperous than those of any other part oi the state, and they attribute much of their prosperity to the ope rations of the “no fence” law.— News. ADVISED TO USE PISTOLS ON THE SLIGHTEST PRETENSE. The Chattahoochee Safe A Dangc rous Two Dollar Counterfeit—Huff and Patterson Again—Harrison Writes a Little Letter to Tanner Tho Great Storm. Nkwcasti.k, Dei.., Sept. 12.—The steamer Chattahoochee, from Savan nah for New York, anchored off here this afternoon, short of coal. Cjiattanoooa, Tenx., Sept. 12.— A new counterfeit two dollar treasury silver certificate has been found in circulation here. The engrnvi#; is fine, hut the printing and paper arc poor. All the counterfeits so far discovered are numbered “11105. Ml, 741,” and bear the picture of (ion. Hancock. Indianapolis, I.vi)., Sept. 12.— The National Association of Colored Baptists began its annual s-vsion in this city to-day. J0I111 Williams, who had been in the hands of the 1110b at Baxlev, ad- ised that the colored men must fight when attacked, if they ever expected to be a people. “Do you know,” said lie, “that one negro can scare a dozen white people? Carry a pistol and use it on the slightest pretense.” The entire day was given lip to dis cussion ot the assault, and an imme diate resort to arms was about the on ly suggestion offered. Atlanta, Ga., Eept. 12.—The only development in the Huff and Patter son affair, considered important by gossip, is Mr. Huff"s departure from tho city to-night. He left on the 7 o’clock train on the Central railroad with his son, Walter Huff, and his friend, Capt. Ivoff Sims, for Macon. Mr. Tatter-son and his second, Tom Cobb Jacksmi, were about the Kim ball house to night with apparently no intention of leaving. It is generally believed that a meeting is probable, but the public as well as the newspaper men, arc in the dark as to where or when it will occur. Executive Mansion, } Washington, T>. C , Sept- 12, ’Sg. $ Hon. James Tanner, Commissioner of Pension*.* Dear Sir—Your letter tendering your resignation of the office of com missioner of pensions lias been re ceived, and your resignation is ac cepted to take effect on the appoint ment and qualification of your succes- soi. I do not think it necessary in this correspondence to discuss the causes which have led to the present attitude of affairs in the pension office. You have been kindly and fully ad vised of my views upon most of these matters. It gives me pleasure to add, that, so far as 1 am a’vised, your honor has not at any time been ques tioned. I beg to renew the cxptx ssion ot my personal good will. Very truly yours, Benjamin II a l i; r; o x ■ Wilmington, Del., Sept. 12,—A Lewes special to the Every Evening states that no language can picture the terrible scene along the coast. The wind is blowing with almost hurricane fierceness, driving with a lorce that cuts like hail. The half mile reach of sand between the town and coast is tearing away. The ocean bears a wreckage on every wave. Through the mist of storm and spray the tat tered sails and naked masts of a score of dismantled and deserted vcsslcscan be dimly seen. Since Monday night, the storm has raged without abate ment. Yesterday’s dawn showed 100 vessles which had sought refuge ofl the breakwater. The refuge was insufficient. By 11 o’clock the sea broke over the breakwater, wrecked the telegraph station, carried away the big fog bell and rushed shoreward, sweeping away the steamboat pier. The United States marine hospital was dashed from its moorings and sent spinning down the beach. The Lewes life saving station, forty feet above high water, was flooded and its’ foundations undermined. Huglieyville. a suburb between the town and coat, was submerged and its 200 inhabitants fled for life, leaving all their possessions behind. The Georgia farmers and newspaper men arc having a royal time in Ohio. They will return with modern and enlarged views. The t ourists are ad vertising Georgia, ner splendid climate and unrivaled resources, everywhere they go. Good will come out of this trip. Nearing the Danger Line- The incendiary utterances of one John Williams, colored, in the Bap tist Indianapolis, Ind., convention, yesterday, should, and we believe it will, receive the condemnation of every,fair minded colored man in the South. It is such men as Williams, backed by the incendiary talk of the Canfields, Forakers and Chandlers, who may precipitate trouble. The negroes and whites of the South would get along peaceably and amicably, were it not for these republican agi tators. There has been more race rows during the brief period of the present republican admistration, than during the whole four years of Cleve land's administration. And none will dare say but that the colored people of the South had their every right lully guarded and protected under the late democratic administration. Repub licans make it a business to stir up strife between the races. It is their stock in trade. They may carry this beyond the danger line. Conserva tive men, North and South, see the danger, and will do everything possi ble to avert it. The man, or men, who would systematically and mali ciously foment and encourage race troubles at the South, is an enemy of bis race, and de’serves the severest condemnation. It should he noticed that this incendiary and murderous harangue was delivered at the home of the president of the United States. The teachings of Mr. Harrison, and his republican allies, are endangering the peace and safety of a people who arc trying to live peacefully together. These bloody shirt slirickcrs may as well understand first as last, that the South will protect herself. She will do this at all hazards. The administration has unloaded Tanner. But will it put a better man in his place? The fact is, Tanner was only carrying out Harrison’s “apothe cary scales’’ idea. In any event the reckless squandering of the people’s money has been temporarily checked. But other leaks will break out. A republican considers it his bounden duty to “reduce the surplus.” Tanner is only a typical republican. A Georgia newspaper man, who was one ot the editors that went on an excursion out west this suraaftr, was, lie thought, a little more care ful in selecting his wardrobe than somt of his companions. The wcath or turned quite cool, and linen dus ters, which, as a rule, are quite warm in .1 iffy, did not impart their usual amount of comfort. The editors were shivering under the wintry blasts. The thoughtful Georgian, casting a look at the crowd, and then at himself, remarked, “I am glad that I put on a pair of drawers before I left home.”—News. Those who were fortunate enough to hear Dick Grubb tell this story, will smile, audibly, at the above. To the Friends of Edncation.

I placed her on use of B B. B., and to my surprise her recov ery was rapid and complete.” W. P. McDaniel, Atlanta, Ga., writes: “I was much emaciated and had rheumatism so bad I could not get along without crutches. I also had neuralgia in the head.. First-class physicians did me no good. Then I tried B. B. B., and its affects were magical. I cheerfully recommend it as a good tonic and quick cure.” Mrs. Matilda Nichols, Knoxville, Tenn., writes: I had catarrh six years and a most distressing cough, and my eyes were much swollen. Five bottles of B: B. B., thank God! cured me.” John M. Davis, Tyler, Texas, writes: “1 was subject a number of years to spells of inflammatory rheumatism, which six bottles of B. B.

A Woman’* Discovery. “Another wonderful discovery has been madefand that too by a lady in this county. Disease fastened its clutch upon her and for seven years she withstood its severest tests, hut her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three months she coughed incessantly and could not sleep. She bought a bottle of Dr. King’s New Dis covery for Consumption and was so much relieved on taking the' first dose that she slept all night and with one bottle has been miraculously cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz.” Thus writes W. C. Hamrick & Co., of Shelby, X. C.—Get a free trial bottle at S. J, Cassel’s drug store. Notice of Election.
