And then there will be a dull sickening tl.ud, as the corpulent form ofThontas 13. Reed, drops—into the soup. of ‘Tis said that a great majority the republicans in the house arc in ab ject fear ot Reed. They dare not op 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 and then, just to show his allies that 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 good deal censured for accepting that present ol a $20,000 cottage from Wanamaker and others. The gift was not prompted by generosity, but represents big anticipated favors. One of Grant’s failings was lus too great willingness to accept presents. The people do not like to tee the presi dent thus place himselt under piivate obligations. It is wrong in principle, and may be canied to a dagnerous extreme. 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 South atld skinning dead and living rebels with double-edged adjectives, J. Jecrns is suddenly called upon to face 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.
