‘Tis said that a great majority
the republicans in the house arc in ab

pose one of his rulings. He has a
way of punishing them by refusing to
recognize them on any occasion.
The Tribune of Rome is demand
ing a primary in Floyd. Editor Gro
ves is right. A full nud free demo
cratic primary never defeated any
man yet, who was the choice of the
people. Let the primaries speak all
over the state. It is pure democracy.
Hairison vetoes a public building
bill in a democratic town, every now

he is keeping the faith, and hitting the
democrats wherever possible. The
democrats all like Mr. Har.ison very
much. Of course, they do.
President and Mrs. Hawison are a

Sho Will Raise Hemp Next Time
Now every 01m who knows Henry
Mitchell, knows that he would dis
charge a dclica'e and painful duty
with ns much consideration ns any
man in Thomas county. His iccent
experience among his old friends and
neighbors, In taking the census in
the Duncanville district, has about
exhausted his dip] miacy. With all
of his suavity lie meets a case, now
and then, where his questions arc dc
| uounccd as a clear infringement upon
1 the rights of the citizen—especially
upon the female portion of the poptt
lntion. Wlr'e Henry has mighty
taking ways, "i talking to the ladies
he has not, upon all occasions, been
able to smooth down or pacify a mini
her of irate females who do not licsi
tate to condemn the whole eensii
business.
After taking old Mrs. about
her health, and that of the children
and about tho news iti the neighbor
hood Ac., the copses mini felt his
way tolerably clear, to steri in on it's
questions the other day, winle leaning
back in a little tine clad piazza
while the good house wile talked and
busied hci self with her domestic duties
“You wi’l please give me your
age,” said M-. Mitchell.
"Well, no respectable woman
ashamed of her age, I reckon. I’m
years old the loth of next November.”
WJp'o there was seme little acerbi
ty in the reply, Hciiiy flattered him
self that he had gotten over one dau-
gerous paii of the ground. Then
followed numberless questions: How
much soap do you make? How many
cabbage do you rtr-.c? IIow much
yarn do you spin at home? IIow
many presetves do you put up? How
many eggs have you set this year;
and liow many of them hatched?
AVhen asked how many chickens she
had raised, the good woman was
greatly troubled. She had not kept
count.
"Why, how cau I tell,” she said.
“The hawks have caught, some of
them, the minks some, while other
varments have been about the hen
house several times, nud carried off,
I don’t know how many. And then
a good many have died from chicken
cholera, while the Lord only knows
how many the niggers have stole.”
Henry compromised with the old
lady and Ids official conscience by
putting down about what number of
chickens he thought she ought to
have rn'sed.
“One more question, please” said
the man of figures: “IIow much
hemp do you raise”?
•‘I don’t raise any” was the reply,
"but I am willing to plant and work
enough hemp to make ropes enough
to hang the next set of census men
sent out in Thomas county.”
“Good morning,” said Mr. Mitchell,
and he sadly took his way to the next
farm house, where the same “demni-
tion grind,” as the count was won’t
to say, was gone through with.
He Advanced.
The Chronicle publishes the follow
ing bit of camp gossip :
A member of the Elbert Light In
fantry was late approaching the camp
Wednesday. “ WI10 goes there ?” ask
ed the sentinel, "friend or foe?"
"Friend,” was his answer. Advance
friend, and give the countersign.”
“Whiskey,” was his answer. „Ad-
vance then with cork drawn,” and he
went through.
The Melon Business.
It is safe to say tight now. that more
melons will be planted in South Geor
gia, next year than ever before. The
melon exchange lias given growers
confidence. Formerly they had to
trade and dicker with a lot ot dealers,
whose object was to beat the growers
out of their crop, in many instances ;
Sam"jones^daughtcr7who 7ecently ! ° r lhe >' 1,ad t0 !hi P„ unkn ° wl ' and
eloped with a young man in North | ^quendy nrespons.blc so called com-
Georgia and married him, has quit
her husband, and, it is saio, will sue
for a divorce.
Runaway matches do not always
turn out well. That girl who marries
at home, with consent of parents,
however humble the home or parents
may be, stands a better chance for
happiness, than the romantic creature,
who wants to create a sensation by
marrying under circumstances, and
surroundings calculated to evoke com
ment and to produce talk.
Ingalls in a Fix.
There is a redheadness about the
way the farmers of Kansas arc going
for J. JccMs Ingalls which is cheering
and delightful; not, however, to J.
Jecrns nor to the G. O. 1’ After tie-
voting eighteen years to the business
of contracting philliplcs against the

rebels with double-edged adjectives, J.

the question, ‘‘AVI.at have you ever
done for your people?”—Nashville
American.
mission men, who swindled them out
of thousands. No wonder the growers
had become discouraged. But the ex
change has solved the problem. They
take the crop of the country at a fixed
price, paying for every car load, as
soon as it is loaded and rec ivcd. Or,
if the grower docs not want to sell
to the exchange, which knows tha
exact s'atus of market and supply,
East and West, will direct his melons,
and have them sold by their own
agents. The melon crop is a big
thing. It docs not last long, and it
has to be handled intelligently. To
dc this, there must be a head to the
concern. It is the only way to pre
vent some cities from being glutted
with melons, while other places are
wanting them. O, yes, there’ll be
stacks of melons raised in South
Georgia next year.
A Gold Find in Alabama.
A special from Anniston says particu
lars of the biggest gold discovery ever
made in the south have come from
Cleburne comity. The oro will yield
according to nil assay front 10 to 100
pennyweights. A company was at
once organized to develop the discov
eries.
