ALBERT WIWTKH. Pus. Baa.
The State University will turn out
thirty-four bran new lawyers at the
coining commencement.
Col. Tom Hardeman carried Hous
ton with a whoop. Hut it is not
likely he will run for governor.
Not half the counties in Georgia
would get a warehouse, if the sub-
treasury plan was adopted.
It is not probable, though barely
possible, that Col. N'orthen will have
opposition for governor. He has
lead from the word “go,” and will
likely do so over the whole course.
Itccd railroaded the silver bill, one
of the most important measures before
the house through, in a couple of
hours, on Saturday. He refused to
allow the democrats to offer a single
amendment.
Some rough characters in Jesup
have recently been interfering with
colored firemen on the S. F. cfc W.
I!y. These men are entitled to the
protection of the law, if they arc only
colored firemen, and we hope the
thugs of Jesup will be held strictly
amenable to the law for their coward
ly acts.
He fell by the way-side, early in
the conflict: A New York dude,
who had been appointed census taker
in one of the sub-districts in New
York city, alter being badgered all
day on Monday, and assailed with
billingsgate, went to his lodgings
and ended his miserable existence
by committing suicide Spaulding
I’aine says he is not surprised at the
man’s nction.
The farmers, many of them, are
WakiDg up to the tact that the much
talked of sub-treasury plan will not
bring them relief. It is a delusion
and a snare. Politician arc taking
advantage of it, hut the chances are
that the farmers will sec through the
scheme in time to miss the ambition
of most of the new found converts
in the hud. The agricultural classes
should he given a fair showing—this
they have not had—hut the sub-
treasury scheme will not relieve them.
It would, rather, bring disaster upon
the whole country. This is the
opiuion of many of the wisest political
economists in the country.
The farmer, alter all, does not
want to become a borrower, lie
wants to make himself independent
of the money lenders, and to be able
to hold his products until lie gets
ready to sell them.
Rountree’s Citizenship.
An interesting legal iiuestion will
come uii for trial at the July term of
Hrooks couuty court. The question
will he on the citizenship of Hon. 1).
\V. Kountce, the solicitor of this
(the southern) circuit. At this term
of court a motion will he made to
quash att indictment in a criminal
case drawn by Mr. Kountree,as solici
tor, on the ground that lie is not a !
citizen of this circuit, and that cousc- j
qucntly he lias no right to hold the j
office of solicitor general. Mr. Roun
tree has not resided here since the I
first of the year, but has been living \
in Atlanta, engaged in the practice of!
his profession. He lias, however,
attended nil the sessions of the court
ill this circuit and given his personal
attention to the duties of his office,
lie still claims Quitman as his home
and is a member of the law firm of
Henuctt, Rountree A Keiinett, of this
place. Cant. John <!. McC'all is.the
attorney who will raise this pointkmd
who will make the argument to quash
the indictment on the grounds men
tioned.—News.
I ‘ Things are getting tangled up in
| this country. The fact is a common
j man don’t know exactly whether lie
lias got any party or any policy. He
i can say lie is a democrat or a repuhli-
I can, or an allianectnan, or that he is
j for pToteeti against it, hut the
| old lines are so broken up that he
| can’t tell where he belongs. He is
like the soldier who went home be-
cause he couldn't find his company.
! \\'e ate all ju-t waiting for something
to turn tip and settle down, lhe
farmers are upheaving things power
fully hut they are tangled tip too.
'I'ite Kansas fanners, through the
alliance, have sent their memorial
to Congress t.ud demand more silver
coiuage, and more pension money
The cardinal principles arc to fight
railroads, and punish rebels. The
Illinois farmers have sent their memo
rial and demands a tax upon income
a sealing tax that will make the
millionaires support the government,
aud leave no excuse for taxing the
necessaries, or the comforts of life.
But, of course, they want some thing
protected: such ns wool, tor instance
It would never do for foreign wool
to come in tree, for it would bring the
price down so low that a sheep killing
dog would quit his business.
The wealth of the country is con
ccntrating too fast. It is not ide
Most of it is used for good purposes,
but it gives too much power. The
love of dominion isas strong a passion
as the love of money, and we common
falks don’t want anybody to have
dominion over us or over ottr children
after we arc gone. That's what s the
matter. We don’t envy the million-
airs. I don’t, 1 know. I have as
good clothes as lie has—at least they
suit ntc as well. 1 have as good
eating at my house, for there ;s noth
ing better than home-made Spring
chickens, and wax-beans, and peas,
and onions all from your garden.
Then there arc the strawberries and
raspberries that I pick every day and
it makes me so calm anil serene lo
bring them to Mrs. Arp, and listen to
her grateful surprise. Jay Gould
knows nothing about the like of that.
“But where are we all, anyhow?
Are the two great parties divided on
the line of protection, or no protec
tion ? Is the issue made it]) between
the manufacturers and the consumers,
or is the party a bigger tliiug than
any issue? Suppose the Georgia
farmers turn out Crisp and Blount
and Clements and ail the rest, and
put in a new set who don't understand
log-rolling rascality, will we ever get
another appropriation to clean nut a
branch or build a jiostofticc? Of
course, nobody expects anybody to
vote for the sub-treasury scheme, hut
it is a right gooil horse to ride ill on;
though I think our aspiring office-
seekers ought to do the clean thing,
and say they want to go just because
they want to go. 1 farmed for eleven
years, and nobody done me any barm,
that I know of. I moved to town for
schools, or I would have been farming
yet. It is the most honest, and most
independent business on earth—that
if a man owns his farm, and has
got a little outside income for an
aspiring family. 'I hat is all the
trouble I found. It was the aspiring
family trying to keep open house like
we did when “niggers was,” and the
chickens, ducks and turkeys, mean-
ilerec in droves all round the premises.
I know more farmers who have got
better oil it: the last ten years, than
anv other profession. I sec that the
sheriff of Sumter county has been
examining the tax books and took a
list, at random, of farmes, and
within eight years their property has
increased ?1«0.000, and not one of
them lias suffered a decrease. Some
men will accumulate at anything,
and some will fail at anything. There
is more in the man than in the farm.
Some arc shifty and thrifty, and some
are unshifty and unthrifty. Things
are not going to lie even all round
in this world. It takes two worlds to
strike a balance sheet between Dives
and Lazarus, and even then Lazarus
got the best of it. Some folks have
hard luck mid a hard time, hut if I
wa- going to hunt for a class of people
who had a harder time than any other
class I would’nt pick out the farmers.

trains rolling by, ami < kii-,>.
