Just now the country is being floodecyrith circulars addressed to men all through this section. We take the following brief extracts from a circular recently received by Jo Beverly, is need less to say that Jo didn’t Dito at the bait. The New York dealer says: ‘‘From information received respect ing yon I feel quite confident you are u shrewd, throughtful man, and can easily perceive the many advantages iny'business would bring you should you engage in it. “It you have not the ready money to purchase my goods I would consent to your taking some confidential irlend in with you, provided, of course, he is trustworthy and would not turn traitor. You could both v, me i,u logemer, examine uiy stock (uruuuuuiig iu immy thousands el iollars) and make your own solections. You would be very foolish to take »uy one in with you if you can in any possible way raise tho required amount yourself. Never give a “good thiug” away unless ’tis to your benefit to do “Your own good seusc should tell you I can have no object in misrepre senting the quality ot my stock and bring you on here on a fool’s errand, l'or I aik no money in advance and trade ouly on the terms above men tioned, namely, don’t as/; nor expect to be paid one cent until you have examined tny entire stock, selected what you want, and the goods are in your possession. My prices are as followi: 5300 bays 83,000, 5600 buys 510,000 and 51,000 buys 530,000. “Do not write to me, ns your letters ■will not be received. Simply tele graph me per enclosed slip to “send instructions” and sign your “Password find Number.” “Enclosed is a reputed newspaper Clipping describing the goods ns Iiaving been made from plates stolen from the treasury department. Of Course it, also, is bogus. Following tile clipping is the following instruc Mans: ftjrp THIS I OR FUTURE REFERENCE. Send your Telegram Ciias. Church, 16 James Slip, N. Y. City, N. Y. 3four “Pass Word” and sign is “PETER." 419 “Do not sign anything else. “CAUTION—Be sure you have the r,umbers (plainly written) on the telegram after you sign the WORD PETE, otherwise your telegram will positively receive no attention. Tho “figures” are very important.” Many of these circulars have no doubt been sent to Thomas county With this exposure nil ought to know that they will be badly swindled, and smirched, it they bite nt the bait Rev. W. M. Hayes, commissioner of education from the Methodist church (south,) for the colored Methodist church, is making a vigorous and fective effort in behalf of the educa tfonal fund for that branch of Method ism. The colored Methodist church has a membership of 150,000. It has two schools Jone at Jackson, Tenn. and the Lane Institute at Augusta. The former is owned by the colored Meth odist church and is supported by it The Payne Institute is in need o buildings. It has a valuable property and an endowment fund ot $25 000 The Mehodist church (south) has un dertaken to raise $50,000 within the next three years for the erection o school buildings and to put the insti tute on a sound footing, tally equip ping it for the education of colored preachers and teachers. There werc- at both the Augusta and Jackson schools last year eleven teachers and 336 pupils. Rev. Mr. Hayes, as commissioner of education for the Methodist church (south), is a connectional officer of the church. Although s'ill a member of the South Georgia conference, his field of labor is the entire jurisdiction of the general conterence. Last week he was in Missouri and from Savannah he goes to Texas, visiting the annual con ferences and holding meetings in the interest ot the work he represents. The education of colored teachers and preachers is believed to be best accomplished through the medium of schools of their own race. This has been so thoroughly demonstrated that the Methodist church south has under taken through its educational depart ment represented by a connectional office support and maintain, or to aid in so doing, schools for that purpose, and it is meeting with great success in raising funds lor that purpose.—News. Watts—Now, if I understand cor- ■ectly, the first principle 0^socialism a to divjde with your bronR’ man. Potts—Then you don’t understand f correctly. The first principle of so- unlism is to make your brother divide sltb you.—Indianapolis Journal. Inconsistency. Discussing the senatorial situation in Wilkes, Judge Reese says: “The mem bers of the Alliance of Wilkes county gaveJMr. Colley a warm and powerful support, and this,too, when in point of fact he was opposed to the sub-treasu- rv scheme now alleged to be the chief principle of the Alliance, and so ex pressed himself openly. Large num bers of the Alliancemen in SVilkes county supported Judge Lawson ior the nomination for congress, and are now supporting him for on election to congress, although he was and is opposed to the sub treasury plan, the alleged chief principle of the Alliance. Gordon, Colley and Lawson were and are all on the same line as to the sub treasury, the alleged chief principle of the Alliance—that is to say they were and are all opposed to it.” This is parallel to the situation in Thomas. We do not know ot an alli- anccman in the county who will vote against Turner. More: they are all going to vote for hitn. And yet Mr. Turner has frankly told them he could not support the sub-treasury plan. An yet these same men, many of them, are opposing Governor Gordon who occupies the same position that Turner does. Alliancemen of Thom as voted for Turner in the primary, with his declaration ringing in their ears that he would not support the sub-treasury plan. Governor Gordon is in close and perfect sympathy with the farmers. He can, apd will, do as much for them as any living man. To be consistent the alliancemen of the 2nd district should support both Turner and Gordon, or oppose them both. They occupy precisely the samo position. Wo might illustrate further by cit ing the case of senator electj Mitchell. The alliancemen of Thomas county voted for him, knowing that he was opposed to the sub-treasury play; nay more, many, very many of them, vot ed for him in tho primary against a man who was known to lavor the 8 ul). treasury plan. Can these roe D( ccn „ sistently, oppose Gordon, for the rea son that he opposes the sub-treasury plan? % The chances are that Jo Cannon rill he beat for congress. Fifteen re publican papers in his district are op- roeing him. G-EO. 'W. 175 Broad Street, Mas my Hotel Building. Furniture^ w Carpets, RATTAN ROCKERS.
