While a casual inspection of the

that the kernel is wanting.
Mr. J. F. Evans lias been welcomed

Capt. Shuck Whitaker had the
misfortune to lose “George.” the
handsome black of the SGOO team,
that was so familiar on our streets.
“George’’ was coal.black and his mate

wish. C’apt. Whitaker was much at

regretted to lose him.
Attention Guards.

The Thomasville Guards will turn
out at 4 o’clock three this aitcrnoon in
fatigue uniform for the purpose of
having a target practice. They will
march out to Mitchell’s old mill and
the target will be placed so that the
railroad embankment will stop all balls
and prevent any danger to parties at a
distance from stray bullets. We hope
the boys will show themselves good
marksmen.

Tlie midsummer festival in Atlanta

enough, and tlie rates on the railroads
will he low.enough to make sure of a
big crowd, but whew! won’t it he hot.
One fare for tlie round trip, will be an
inducement, and many will doubtless
go from this section.
Is Livingston a Candidate for the
U. S. Senate?
The following is from ihe Southern
Alliance Firmtr of Aug. 5th :
We have been annoyed a grea. deal
recently by qots ioi.s concerning the
rumor that Col. Living-ton is a candi
date for the United States Senate.
We cannot imagine why or how any
such repor: ever started. Col. Living
ston certainly hud nothing to do with
it. He is a cand date ter a seat in
congress, and expects to be elected.
It is unfa r to hold Col. Livingston re
sponsible for rumors which other
parlies have s'arted, and which he has
had nothing to do, and which he has
never given any consideration. We
cannot afford to lose sight of the fact
that Col. Livingston is a candidate
for congress in behalf of the people;
and we do not propose to have our
friends side-tracked by any such re
ports.
Til's paper is the organ of the ai-
tiance and specially ol Col. Livingston
and it will be seen that it nowhere
denies that Livingston is a candidate,
bu evades that issue entirely and com
pletely.
General Grant, so it would appear,
lmu no settled convictions on the sub
ject of religion. Nominally a Metho
dist, lie could not be said to belong to
any particular denomination. His re
lations with Rev. J. I*. Newman, then
a Congrcgationalist, he declared were
founded solely on personal friendship.
Having been interrogated during his
illuesson the question of religion,he re
plied that he had pot given it any deep
study and was unprepared to express
an opinion. He intimated that he
saw no use in devoting auy special
thought to theology at so late a day,
and that he was prepared to take his
chances with the millions of people
who went before him.
State Convention To Day-
The latest news from Atlanta in re
gnrd to the probable result of the con
vention which meets to-day, is with
out interest, except as to the candi
dates for tlie offices of Attorney Gen
eral and Commissioner of Agricul
ture.
Upon counting noses, it seems that
Hon. Clifford Anderson has about 25
votes more than his opponent, but it
is said that some of the delegates from
the mountain comities claim that they
are not hound to vote for Anderson,
because Isrstcr was not in the race
when they were selected. If many of
these change to Lester lie may be
nominated.
Ncsbit and Hunuicutl. combined
have more votes than Hendeison, and
the question is whether all these votes
can he controlled so us to give either
to Nesbit or Ilunnicutt. The friends
of Hcndcrsou are trying to mnke cap
ital of this, but have not succeeded to
any extent.
Livingston had not arrived at last
accounts, hut was expected. It was
rumored that an attempt would he
made to put in a dark horse, and that
possibly W. L. Peek might get it.
The session will probably not he longer
than to day, anil we hope to hear the
result this evening.
The Man on the Monument.
Baton Rough, La., Aug. 5.—The
bronze statue of a Confederate sol
dier er ctcd by a Confederate Memor-
la 1 Association to the memory of those
who went from this parish to serve the
cause of the south, was unveiled with
appropriate ceremonies this afternoon,
it being the anniversary of the battle
of Baton Rouge.
If you feel any apprehensions of
Cramp Colic, dont delay any time, hut
taken dose of Lamar’s Diarrhoea
Mixture, and repeat if necessary.
In the race lor r:presentativc in
Clarke county, Mr. YV. J. Norton
defeated both of his oppunents and
wi ri'injesciH that county in the next
legislature.
The government of Servia notifies
Au-tna that unless the prohibition ot
the importation ot pigs is withdrawn,
the Servian frontier will be closed
altogether against Austrian imports.
Clarke county went for Olive fer
congress. The race in the eighth is
very close now. Olive, Colley and
Lawson each have eight votes. It all
depends on who gets the other coun
ties that have not yet acted.
.Snclson does not propose to stand
by the result of the nominating con
vention i 1 the Senatorial district he
wishes to represent. He proposes to
run anyway. We hope he will be
everlastingly snowed under. He will
run as an independent, mid lie ought
to lie taught a lesson.
We do not believe tho story that a
teacher in one of tho Milwaukee
schools kissed the big boy whom she
had kept in after school to discipline
for had behavior. But if she did,
whose business is it? Tilings have
conic to a pretty pass if a teacher can
not administer punishment to a pupil
who needs it.—Exchange.
It frequently pays to be a vigorous
and unblushing "kicker.” The fellow
who takes what he gets in silence, and
puts up with it whether it suits him
or not, will too often he put oil with
anything at all; the worst of every
thing will be good enough for him;
whereas the man of whom it is known
that he won’t allow himself to be im
posed upon will get the best that’s go
ing.—Phil. North American.
Be Careful In the Future.
In a certain congressional district,
one of the county Alliances met and
endorsed a candidate for congress who
was not a member of our order, hut
who made very strong professions of
friendship to tho order and to the far
mers generally, but lie did not adopt
their entire platforms. Nootlier can
didate was in tlie field nnd they did
not know what issue would he 11u.de.
Alter a week or two a strong Alii-
anceman, who was unquestionably
with the order in its every issue, was
put in the field, and that County Al
liance, seeing the error of its first cn
dorsement, had to meet and undo its
work.
We hope county and sub Alliances
will be careful on this point and let
candidates alone, withholding their
endorsements until they are fully in
formed who will he in tlie field and
what issues will he made. Above all
things, never give your endorsement
to any man who is not wholly and
unreservedly on your side, and sup
porting eveiy measure you demand,
will also support every man whom
you endorse. This is true unity, and
unless tlie Alliance follows this plan,
its efforts to secure tlie legislation
which it so much needs, will be all in
vain.—Southern Alliance Farmer.
The above shows how completely
nnd entirely the leaders wisli tlie en
tire membership of the alliance iu the
state ,to be under their orders. The
plain meaning of the above is, “wait
for orders from head quarters before
you endorse any man.” Can this
really he the true condition of affairs?
Can not believe it, yet it looks like it.
Will bo a Statesman.
Minister (to hoy)—“So you have
come out to tho Sunday school picnic
instead of going to tlie circus?”
Boy—“Yes, sir.”
“I am proud of you, my little man.
One of these days you may lie a great
statesman,”
“Yes, sir.”
‘Come here, Brother Mooney’
(calling some one) “and talk to ties
j little fellow that would rather come
out here among the blessed children
than go to tlie circus.”
Boy—“No, I wouldn’t rather come
here, but pa gave me fifty cents to
come here ’stead of goin’ to the circus,
but you bet your life I’ll take the fifty
an’ go to morrer.”
This Happened up “North.”
Pittsburg, Aug. 4.—All the em
ployes of the Carbon Iron Company
struck tins afternoon because an at
tempt was made to start the puddling
department with negroes. The pud-
dlers struck a month age for $5 per
ton, but the firm refused to grant tlie
demand and the men quit work. To
day forty-eight negroes were put to
work ar.d all the other emyloyes, num
bering 500, came out, causing a sus
pension of work in the entire mili.
Threats of bodily harm are made and
lively times are expected before the
strike is settled.
Here in the south the colored man,
among his democratic friends, is
given a fair showing* and encouraged
to make an hoi.est living. He works
right alongside southern mechanics.
Mr. Louis II. I’atillo, of the Angus
a Chronicle staff, shot and killed Mr.
C. P. Hudson, in Augusta, on Satur
day. The men met at 11 o'clock at
night on the street, and opened fire
simultaneously. Paullowas wounded,
hut not mortally. Both men stood
well in Augusta. Mr. I’atillo has, for
several weeks, been reporting tlie re
markable canvass in South Carolina
for the Chronicle. He had just return
ed to Augusta. The affair’s very
much deplored by the friends of both
parties.
Cholera Morbus has no terrors to
the family that keep’s Lamar’s Diar
rhoea Mixture at hand.
The slot machine which has recent
ly had sucli a run in all catch-penny
schemes was known and used by the
Egyptians centuries before,the opening
of the Christian era. Hero of Alex-
andia, who lived 200 years before the
time of Christ, describes one used for
the dispensation of holy water. A
coin of five drachmte dropped into a
slot in a vase opened a valve which
permitted a few drops of the purify
ing liquid to escape. Surely there is
nothing new under the sun.
