JOHN TiUlM.ETr, Bus. IUan.
The netY cotton year, at the ports,
(ipens on the 1st of September.
Macon is going to get up a big
trades display, at the state fair.
There is but one negro in congress,
Cheatham, of North Carolina.
What has become of Tanner?
However, it doesn’t matter much.
Congressman Watson died sudden
ly in Washington on Monday. Heart
disease killed him.
Chatham’s new court house has
been completed. ‘Tis said to be one
of the handsomest court houses in the
elate.
Savannah cotton dealers complain
sif stringency in the money market.
.A good deal of the lucre is needed now
to handle the cotton crop.
Messrs. Epstein & Wannbacher,
large wholesale grocery dealers in Sa
vannah, have failed. Amount of lia
bilities 5175,000; assets 5490,000.
The man who has friends and cred
it is better than a king.—Brunswick
Times.
The man who has friends, and does
•not want or need credit, can beat four
kings. His hand is invincible.
The Constitutional Convention of
"Mississippi, now in session, at Jack
son, is seriously considering the advis
ability of adopting woman suffrage,
•with a property and educational qual-
ili cation. It is claimed that this
would insure the supremacy of the
white race, in that state.
The Supreme Court of the l. uited
States lias reversed a decision of a
court below, to the effect that, under
the inter-state railway commission
railroads could not give special rates
to theatrical compauies. And theat
rical companies are happy.

Of the nine members of the next
Georgia delegation, whose elections
arc practically assured, four are Mer
cer men—Moses, Everett, Lester and
AVatson. Onejis a university gradu
ate—Blount. Crisp nnd Livingston
never went to college at all. Turner
graduated at Chapel Hill, N. C., and
Winn atJEmory and’Henry, Va.
Henry AVatterson, the brilliant edi
tor of the Courier-Journal, thus pen
paints a scene in the Tennessee moun
tains:
gThc sky took on strange, unnatural
coloring, as I came away, and the
clouds about the setting sun broke
into fantastic shapes; as if, back of the
great screen, separating the night and
the day, some game of chance was in
progress, played furiously; for great
stakes; empires; kingdoms; continents;
planets; and then all was blurred and
gray, and the rain began to fall, as if
the angels wept.”
The former slave states have in
creased in population about 4,500,000
since 1880. This is nearly one-third
the increase of the entire country.
The wonderful wealth and varied at
tractions of the south are just begin
ning to be appreciated, and the next
ten years will bting them a greater in
crease in population and in all the cle
m:nts of greatness and prosperity
than have the past ten. The south
is by far the most promising part ol
the best country on the face of the
■ earth.—Telegraph.
Blaine and Rusk.
Referring to the suggestion made
by the Kansas City Globe that the re
publican ticket in 1892 shall be Blaine
and Rusk, the New York Sun says:
‘•This ticket would be a pretty lusty
platform in itself, and it would be
taken to mean anything and everything,
from the protection of pup seals to the
development of sorghum. AVith this
ticket the erv of the republicans would
be ‘Reciprocity and Rusk’ and _ the
Farmers’ Alliance would be admitted
at special rates. Mr. Blaine Is not
much of a farmer, although he takes a
good deal of interest in the cultivation
of seals, but his ideas about reciprocity
are calculated to fire the hayseed heart.
Jerry Rusk isn’t much of a farmer
either, but he lias a good homespun
appearance and knows as much about
agriculture as it fs necessary for a sec
retary of agriculture to know. He
can drive a hay wagon, ride a larm
horse bare-back and mow for exhibi
tion purposes, and he has a fine line of
back-country stories." Uncle Jerry,
you know, remarked at the outset,
when called to the baby chair in the
cabinet, that he was the tail end of
that body, but might possibly some
day wag the whole dog.
We have a faint recollcetiou of Uucle
Jerry having, on the occasion referred
to, in reply to some remark that he
was the ‘-tail of the cabinet" retorting
in this wise: “Yes, and the adminis
tration will need a tail to keep the flies
off.” Your Uncle Jerry’s prediction
has come true : flies are swarming all
over U'e administration.
Died While the Voting Wan Going On
An extraordinary thing happened
in Johnson county, Ky., election day.
The leading candidate fat county
clerk died at 3 o’clock in the after
noon, Which was before the closing of
the polls. AVhen the votes were
counted it was found that a majority
of more than 500 was to the credit of
the deceased person. Now comes the
opposing candidate aud claims the
certificate of election upon the ground
that the votes thrown for the other
man were rendered null and void by
his decease before the close of the elec
tion.

Where the Money Goes.
l'he Savannah Daily i’imes says:
Just fifty-eight days have passed
since the dependent pensions bill be
came a law, and in that brief period
373 060 applications forpensions under
that law have been filed at the pen
sion office in Washington. Mean
while the claim agents are raking the
country as with a fine tooth comb for
more claimants and it is a moderate
estimate that 500,000 applications will
be filed by the close of the present
year. At $96 per annum for each
pensioner that means a yearly expen
diture of $48,000,000. When the de
pendent pension bill was under discus
sion its advocates contended that the
most it would take from the treasury
would be 835,000,000 annually. Al
ready one-third more than this sum is
in sight. And the end is not yet.
The Suffrage Problem.
Mississippi in convention assembled
is wrestling with the suffrage problem.
The committee has made its report to
the convention.
It provides for an educational qual
ification limited to knowledge of read
ing and writing, or in lieu thereof a
property qualification of 8150; for a
residence in the state of two years and
prepayment of a poll tax of 82. It is
suggested by the sub-committee that
the educational nnd property qualifi
cation requirements remain inopera
tive uutil the year 180(1, and that in
that time all elections be hpld under
the Australian system ns embodied in
the law of the state of Tennessee.
Whether these recommendations will
receive the assent of the full commit
tee or the convention it ^impossible
to foretell. tH£G — fiW

A Boston Girt'8 Awful Plight.
In the excitement of the moment the
two Boston girls rushed into the rag
ing surf, and the amount of garments
they have had managed to Ret,rid of
would have struck a ballet girl dumb
a ith envy.
“Oh !” suddenly cried Miss Beacon-
stre e, “what have I done:wfut will
become of tse ? I am so ashamed
that my blushes are beginning to heat
the water about me,”
‘•What is it coldly remarked her
companion, who didn’t like the idea of
the other getting ahead of her when
anv modesty business was on.
“What’s got loose?”
“Oh, how can I ever live to tell it.
I’ve come in bathing without my spec
tacles?"
We take the following from the ad
dress which the colored men have is
sued :
The failure of the civil rights law
shows '.hat enactments forced upon un
willing communities are inoperative,
and that the only way to the perraaj
nent and peaceful enjoyment of our
civil and political rights is through the
good will and consent of the people
with whom we live. To tie apples to
trees is folly, the republican party
policy to the contrary notwithstanding.
They should grow there. In like
manner the recognition and conces
sion of our rights should grow out of
the mutual good will and respect for
each other which will, in time, arise
between the two races.
The colored man is gradually realiz
ing that his republican friend is a
fraud.
