It is rapidly growing in pop ularity as a seaside resort. - The alliancemen of Tennessee, like their brethren in Florida, have dis carded the sub-treasury plan. Ninety counties in Georgia would not get a warehouse, under the sub- treasury plan. Major Belknap, prominent in rail road circles, and late General Manager of the Central, died from heart disease in Louisville, Ky., on Sunday. It wou'd appear from the advertis ing columns of the Times-Union, Jacksonville, that one half of Duvall Co., is to be sold for taxes. Father—James, you know I disap prove very much of your fighting, bnt I cannot help feeling proud ol you for whipping such a big boy as that. What did you whip him for? S..n A dispatch from Newnan, to Mon day’s Constitution, says: Colonel R. S. Burch, a prominent citizen and leading lawyer, of this city, suffered a stroke of paralysis this morning. At noon >oday he was thought to be somewhat better. The gentleman’s friends here—and he has a host of them—will be pained to learn ol his illness. The Harrisons aie a lucky, as well as a thrifty set. Some real estate boomer; in Washington deeded Mrs. Harrison property in Washington’s suburbs, valued at $20,000, for $1. Government Clorkship. The south has never had her full quota of government clerkships. Jhe civil service commission will he ia Macon on the 28th, and in Atlanta, on the vst of August to examine ap plicants. F. W. 11. writing to the Constitution on the subject,says : All the young men, or old ones for that matnr, in Georgia and other southern states, who want to work for the government, now have an oppor tunity. They will make from $900 to $1,200 tach, and only have eight hours of work a day, with a had hour out of that for lunch. Then each one of them is entitled to a month’s vaca tion during the year. The positions they will have to fill are clerks and copyists. Then, again, if they fill their positions well, there is a chance of promotion to $t.poa year. The work is, of course, vtry light. These positions will be in various depart ments here, but principally tn the pensio office, where six hundred ad ditional clerks arc to he appointed soon. Ot these from 30 to 40 are to be appointed from Georgia, 25 from Alabama, 20 from South Carolina, 20 from Mississippi, 22 from North Caro lina, 23 from Texas, and many from other southern states. To get these positions a civil ser vice examination, consisting of arith metic, reading, writing, spelling and geography, must be passed success fully by the applicants. If there are mere applicants than vacancies, those who make the highest mark will be selected. The examinations for these vacancies will be held as follows : At lanta, August 1 st; Macon, July 28th; Charleston, South Carolina, July 26th; Charlotte, North Carolina, July 24th; Montgomery, Alabama, July 30th; Birmingham, Alabama, July 3rd. Ex aminations will also be held at the principal cities in all the other states. Application blanks will be furnished by the examiners in Atlanta, Macon, and the other cities on the days ol the cxaminaiinns or probably a tew days previous. However, the civil service commissioners here say the day uf ex- amina'ion will not be too late to make application. Both- men and women can stand the examination, but the men will he given the prefer ence. In the past the young men of the southern states have not seemed to care to work for the government, and consequently the south’s apportion • ment b'.a never becnfi'Ied. Thecom- missioners are now anxious for south erners to come forward and take tnese places, tn order that the law may be carried out, which provides that depart mental clerkships s>all go to states according to population. However, a young man who is making a good or even fair living at home, had best re main where he is; that is, if lie has any ambition. While it is true these clerkships pay well, probably nine- tenths that the young men of Georgia earn to-day more, and they totally unfit the majority of the young men tor other business. (**' Criminal Extravagance. Froui the Philadelphia Record. Well! ' The Philadelphia Times propounds this query to the looters and revolu tionists ol the House: Why not adjourn Congress ? 1 he treasury is looted and a deficit of $ 100,- ooo.ooo piled upon the tax-payers, and there’s nothing more to grab un less the deficit is to be increased. Isn’t $100,000,000 enough to saddle upon the people in one session ? If so, let treasury looters and tax-bredders take a recess. O, no, they’ll not adjourn, until the money is spent. m «#» ^ — Items From the Augusta Chronicle : The esteemed Atlanta Constitution says: “If the ‘truck patch bill’ is a county or stale issue, we have not heard of it." Something must be the matter with the trolley line of the Con stitution’s news service. *f* 4* *1* The Wilkes county Alliance opposes the sub-treasury bill, because it dis criminates against their brother farm ers and those Alliancemen believe in “equal rights to all, special privi leges to none. • * • The census is not panning out well for the Republicans. The Northern and Eastern states arc barely holding their own, while the growth of popu lation in the South is something cnor. mous. It is Lodge bill or perish. A Good Democrat Gone. Washington, July at.—The House adjourned at 12:10 p. ro, in respect to the memory of James P. Walker, of the Fourteenth Wisconsin District, who died on Saturday at his home, Dexter, Mo. Mr. Walker was a young man, but one of the best democratic workers. Thf, Speaker appointed a committee of seven to attend bis funeral, lilt make* the tenth death during this session, a larger number than ever before. The extravagance that in one year has used up the enor nous federal revenue, yielding a heavy surplus ;n every year of Cleveland’s adminis'r.v tion, and which has exceeded the es timate of expenditure by $74,000,000 and the receipts by $94,000,000, is without parallel in this country or in any other in time of peace. In the face of this alarming condition congress goes nimbly on passing subsidy bills, public building bills, the federal elec tion bill and other schemes of uncer tain bnt fearful expenditure, which must inevitably bear harder on the purses of the people and increase the undeniable distress that besets large classes in all parts of the country.

Chicago is exceedingly happy over the official report of the census super visor, which credits that city with a population ol 1,101,623. This is 61,• 263 ahead of the estimated population of Philadelphia, and only 412,000 less than the population of New York. Several months ago Chicago extended its limits so as to take in nearly all of the county in which it lies, and is now by far the largest city in area on this continent. It occupies 172! square miles, while New York has only 41.— Telegraph. In this connection it is openly as serted in New York, that Mr. Porter, and his republican allies have not given democratic New York full credit for her population. Blaine is growing in popularity— with the democrats. We all think n great deal more of hint that we did a few months ago. His fight against the McKinley tariff kill, and his oppo sition to the force bill, raises the Maine statesman above the politician. SulphurSprings, Suwanee, Florida.
