JOHN TBtrS.ETr. BM. Blnn. McVicker’s theatre in Chicago, one of the finest in the country, was burned the other night. You don’t hear anything more about the force bill nowadays. For this relief, much thanks. The surplus, under republican rule, continues to disappear. And tho re publicans, many of them, will disap pear soon. The sooner the better. With the threatened opposition to Gov. Gordon, his friends are working up all over the state. Mr. McCune, who pulls the wires in Washington, will find that he cannot defeat Govern or Gordon in Georgia. The Americans use about four hun dred thousand tons of tin plate every year. The duty on this tin last year amounted to $7,541,000. The Me Kinley bill proposes to increase the duty so as to make the import $10, 000,000 a year.—Exchange. The general council of the federa tion, lately in session at Terre Haute. Ind„ have declared against a general strike. This means that the strikers on the Vanderbilt roads will have to fight it out by themselves. The county commissioners have closed the contract with S. A. Reming ton to repair the court house. The repairs will cost §12,000, and when completed this will be one of the finest structures in South Georgia.—Quit- man Cor. Savannah News. The enforcement of the law against carrying concealed weapons in Geor gia should be most rigidly enforced. A killing occurs every week or two, and they may invariably be traced to the vicious habit of carrying conceal ed weapons. The recent spectacle of two Now Jersey women fighting in the prize ring was a disgrace to the boasted ci vilization of the cultured north. Who ever heard of such an affair in the south? Nowhere between the Poto mac and the Rio Grande would such u brutal ixhibition be possible.—Con- atitution. The co or used to denote mourn ing has often been changed, and even to-day countries differ widely. _ In Rome males wore black for mourning, while the women indicated their grief by wearing white garments. In Tur key, at the present dai, the mourning hue is violet; in China, white; in Egypt, yellow; in Ethiopyia, brown ; in London and America, black. The mourning color in Spain was white until changed by the laws of 1468. The Scramble For Pensions Justice Sheftall wrote out twenty-five applications for pensions yesterday for union veterans and widows of veterans, the majority of the applicants being colored. He says he has sent on 400 pension applications lor pensions since the late pension bill was passed. Such a number of applicants from Savannah makes the statement of the pension bureau at Washington that applicants are coming in at the rate of to,000 day easily explainable. With nearly 500,000 claims awaiting investigation, it is pretty certain that some of the applicants will have a weary wait of it. The majority of the colored applicants are impressed with the idea that all they have to do is to send in their names and they will immediately be gin to receive $12 a month from the government.—News. The democrats should be looking up a Burchard for the next campaign, Would Make jTcarefiil Wife- From the BeUefonte New 1. There is an old maid in Bellcfonte who, being possessed ot considerable property, pays a large amount of school tax, Bhe now wants the privi- lego of pasturing her cow on the schoolhouse grounds, because, she says, aha has no children to send to school. Thia woman ought to hare been born «lawyer. Then and Now. The Savannah Daily Times says: In r844 the Central did not run be yond Macon, fhe advertisement in the Georgian of June, that year, says: "Goods destined for points beyond Macon will be forwarded by wagons by the oompany’s agent, free of com mission.” Atlanta was then Marthas- ville, a little village "Cotton,” it says, “when received in good order at the depots and afterwards torn while in possession of the company, will be mended at their expense.” To send a dozen brooms to Macon cost 40 cents, while a dozen buckets were transported from here to that city for 60 cents. Corn, oats, etc., cost thirteen cents per bushel to get them to Macon. To get a dozen chairs to the first station on the road required an outlay of $1.30, to Macon $3.25. A large rocking chair could be sent to Macon for 50 cents; to the first station for 25 cents. Carriages cost from $3 to 85 for transportation to the first station; from $5 to $12 to Macon. The demijohn and jug trade was lively then as now. Macon people could bring two gallons to their city for 38 cents. If there were over two gallons it cost 75 cents. Eggs were charged at the rate of 1 cent a dozen to every point between Savannah and Macon, ducks and fowls at 3 cents a head, and geese and turkeys at 10 cent a head. Many other articles are also specified. No single package was taken for less than 25 cents. What a revolution in transportation, since then! (Gordon and the Alliance. Atlanta, Aug. 26.—The Southern Alliance Farmer, the farmers’ official organ of the Georgia Alliance, which came out last night, furnishes a sensa* tion. It prints full reports of the re cent State Alliance Convention, show ing that this body did unanimously pass a resolution demanding of every Alliance member of the next legislature that he vote against any candidate or candidates for the United States Sen- atorship, who do not stand squarely on the Alliance platform, and the resolu tion makes it plain that the sub-treas ury bill is a very prominent feature of that Alliance platform. This is the first positive statement that such action was taken by the con vention. It was done the morning after Gen. Gordon made his speech coming out squarely against the sub- tieasuty bill, so it means that as a body the Alliance will oppose Gordon. This has been denied by Gen. Gordon’s friends heretofore. There i3 much talk about possible candidates against Gordon, ex-Senator Norwood and Judge Jim Brown being the most prominently mentioned. There will probably be many candi dates. A Convention of Governors. Governor Gordon has issued the following call: ' State ok Georgia, Executive Department, AtlantaJGa., Aug. 25.—At a meeting of the state alli ance, in the city of Atlanta, tho fol lowing resolutions were parsed: Resolved, 1. That wo respectfully request his excellency, thd governor, to call a couveution of thfe governors of the cotton states, to mee\in Atlanta on the 10th day of September, proxi mo, to formulate a plan bjl which we can effect direct trade with Liverpool- Resolved, 2. That each governor is respectfully requested to appoint six delegates from his state to,accompany him, and take part in said conven- tiou. ' , Resolved, 3. That the afc»te alliance is hereby respectfully asked v> give this its careful consideration, and ap point ten delegates—one from each congressional district—to said conven tion. In compliance with the nbovo re quest, the several governors of «the “cotton states” arc hereby respectfully invited and earnestly requested to he present in the city of Atlanta on the 10th day of September next, and, with the delegates to be by them ap pointed, take part in thedclibeiations of the convention then to assemble. _ In addition to the subject of "di rect trade,” there aro questions relat ing to weights, insurance, freights and handling cotton, which are of momen tous interest to the cotton producer, andwhich said convention may profit ably consider. John B. Gordon, Governor. The First Bridges. The first bridges were ot wood, and the earliest of which we have any ac count was built in Rome 500 years B. C. The next was erec ed by Julius Ctesar for the passage of his army across the Rhine. Trajan’s great bridge over the Danube, four thousand seven hundred and seventy feet long, was made of timber, with stone piers. The Romans also built the first stone bridges, which crossed the Tiber, Suspension bndges are of remote ori gin. A Chinese one, mentioned by Ktrchen, made of chains, supporting a roadway eight hundred and thirty feet in length, was built A. D. 65, and is still to be seen. The first iron bridge was erected over the Severn in 1777 Georgia’s Defenders. There are now about 4 000 volun teers enrolled in Georgia. They are divided as follows: Forty-six white infantry. Twelve white cayalry. Two white artillery. Twenty colored infantry. One colored cavalry. One colored jrtillery.f Making in all eighty-two companies. Can’t Have Two Supports. Cincinnati, Ohio, Aug. 26.—For weeks there has been a great agitation over excluding married women from the posi'ion ol teachers in public schools. Last night, the board, after a heated debate, decided by a vote of 12 to 11 to make ineligible women liv ing with their husbands. The girls and old maids have the drop on the matrons in Cincinnati, in the matter of wielding the tod. South Georgia College, Branch of the state University. Fall Term Opens First NEFTE9EBEB.
