arose from his chair and said in sub
stance :
“Gentlemen: You are all aware,
from personal observation arid from
newspaper articles, of the trouble and

endangered b7 the threats and mui-

hungry people c.m infl.ct, the press of
this entire country earns to our rescue
and by its influence aroused the peo>

responded well and now we find that
by carefully husbanding the goods
now en route and these in preparation,
for shipment, that enough wiil be had
for our people. Therefore, as we de
sire no nurpius left over, it is the
sense of the individual member:

Thanksgiving Day Named
Washington, N»v. 3.—Tho Presi
dent to-day foiled the following
Thanksgiving proclamation
By the President of the United
States of America:
While the American people should
every day remember with praise and
thanksgiving the divine goodness and
mercy wjpeh have followed them
since their beginning as a nation, it is
fitting that one day in each year
should be especially devoted to the
contemplation ot blessings we have
received from the bands of God, and
to the grateful acknowledgment ot Ids
loving kindne-s.
Therefore, I, Grover Cleveland,
President of the Uuited States, do
hereby designate and set apart Thurs
day, the 30th day of the present
month of Hot ember, *a a day of
thanksgiving nnd praise, to be kept
and observed by ail the people of our
land.
On that day let us forego our ordi
nary work and employments and as
semble in our usual places of worship,
where wo may recall all that God has
done for us, and where irom grateful
hearts, our united tribute of praise
and song may reach the throne of
grace. L-it the reunion of kindred
and the s-icial meeting of friends lend
cheer and enjoyment to the duty, and
The number of judges of the su
preme court of this slate should be
incrc»*cd. ^ and the salaries of the
judges should be increased. There is
no lawyer in the state who has cases
before the court who does not know
that the court is over burdened with
work. Indeed, the number of cases
appealed to the court is so great that
the judges cannot give them as care
ful attention as they ought to have. -
When the eiurt was created it had
as many judges as it oow has,
withstanding the fact that it had not
one-fourth as much business as now
comes before it. The judges then had
time to render decisions Uni com
manded attention not only within the
state, but also in other states. How
the judges have time to write opinions
in very few cases, and they cannot
give as much tune to searching and
comparing authorities as they should.
rite above from the News states
the situation clearly. The number of
judges should be increased, not only
increased, but their pay should be
increased. And this reminds us that
the pay of the superior court judges
is* too small.

Walter Q. Gresham,
Secretary of State.
Washington, Nov. 3.—The trass*
ury department to day ordered the
superintendents of the mints at San
Francisco and New Orleans to resume
the coinage, euspended some time ago,
of standard silver dollars.
It is for the purpose of utilizing
the aeigui: rage that the coinage of
standard silver dollars is resumed.
The expectation is that about one
and a half million can be coined at
once, which will give the treasury the
seigniorage »of about five hundred
thousand dollars.
It is the intention of the treasury
department, as the other mints be
come clear of gold coinage, to have
them also coin silver and thus in
crease the coinage to from three and
one-half to four and one-half million
dollars per month.
The above from Washington should
convince the silver men that Mr.
Cleveland, Mr. Carlisle, the leaders of
tho democratic party, are not
gaged, as lias been charged, in de
monetizing silver. Mr. Cleveland, &
long aa he is president will mak<
cveiv silver dollar worth one hun
dred cents. The thoughtful
of the country will not be misled by

what was done was a fair, honest
business fulfilment of one of the party
pledges made in the Chicago conven
tion. It has been carried by the dom
inant party majority. Ml that cao be
declared with precision as to the will
of the people is lhat those who have
accomplished unconditional repeal are

you. I don’t think you love me,

The other is to tax wholesales d ialers

Preparing the Message.
Washington, Nov. 6.—President
Cleveland .came iu from Wood'ey
early this morning and met Chair
man Wilson, of West Virginia, Chair
man of the Ways and Means corn-
mitee, who has chargo of the larifl
bill. They shut themselves up nnd
are engaged in the preparation of the
President’s message of the tariff bill.
on, S. C., Nov. 4.—In tie
case of Sadie Mean*, the telephone
girl, who was expelled from the second
Presbyter an church at Columbia for
working in the telvp >ne exchange on
Sunday, the South Carolina synod to
day at Clinton ordered that the action
of the Charleston presbytery in the
case be annulled, and that the session
of the church in Columbia ‘ restore
Sadie 11. Means to all her rights and
priviliges as a member in fu’I com
munion in said church ”
The action of the synod will be
very generally approved. If the men
who expelled the young lady from the
church lor working to support her
orphaned little brothers and sisters
never commit a greater sin than has
she, they may read their titles clear to
mansions in the skies. The telephone,
like the telegraph, has become a ne
cessity. It cannot bs dispensed with
on Sunday. In cases of <-udden illness
it is used in every city on ike conti
nent, almost, to summon a physician.
Someone has to woik them. And
they should be allowed to do so with
out being prosecuted or persecuted.
Miss Means stands as good chance f-*r
Heaven as the straight laced, puritan
ical people who expelled her from the
church.
The great debate on the repeal ot
the purchasing clause of the Sherman
act lasted in the Senate sixty-one
days, fonrteeu of which was a continu
ed session. Twenty million words
were spoken. The speeches will fill
five bound volumes of the Congress*
ional Record, and in ordinary news*
paper type would stretch 1,600 miles,
from the Atlantic coast to the Rocky
Mountains. What a s?upenduou3
amount of wind. While it was being
let of! the South lost many millions of
dollars.—Valdosta Times.
New Orleans, Nov. 5.—Instructions
were received by Supt. Cade, of the
mint, in this city, on Nov. 3, to pro
ceed to the coinage of standard silver
dollars. This was at once done, and
tince that time, all the forces at the
mint have been actively at work. The
coinage is made from the silver bul
lion purchased under the Sherman
act, of which there is in this mint
something over $10,000,000.
It will thus be seen that Cleveland
has struck silvor auother ‘blow.” Mr.
Cleveland is going to take care of all
kinds of currency, gold, silver and
paper. Some of his critics in Geor
gia, however, would find fault with
him were he to order the cat ional
debt paid ofl iu uickles. The people
are disgusted with tho continued
charges that Cleveland is * striking
down silver-” H6 will do one thing;
not a silver dollar will, be foutd un
der his administration which will not
command one hundred cents.
Now Yotk, Nov. 3.—R. G. Dunn
& Co.’s weekly review of trade says:
“Tho repeal of the silver purchase
act does good already. The business
world in every part ot the ountry
reckons it helpful, and the tone of
trade is more confident. It is hardly
time as yet for the effects to bo felt
to any great extent in manufactures.
But bankers are more liberal in ac
commodations, and merchants more
hopeful in purchasing.
Washington, Nov, 3.—Private Sec
retary Tnurbcr says there is no foun
dation whatever for the report that
crank attempted to assassinate Presi
dent Cleveland to-day. • The Inquiry
made by an Associated Press reporter
was the first that he or any one cons
nected with the White house had
beard of the rumor. The police were
also ignorant of such an attempt on
the President’s life, and were confident
that the report was false.
Washington, Nov. 3.—This after
noon, at 3 o’clock the extraordinary
session of the Fifty—third congress,
after being in session 67 days and 3
hours, adjourned without day.
Washington, Nov. 3.—President
Cleveland today signed the bill ex*
tending for six months, the time io
which Chinese can register under the
Popu’ist cranks and third party
howlers say that Mr. Cleveland wants
to crush out silver. In the face of
of this the information is officially
given out from the treasury depart
ment lhat the great bulk of silver
bullion on hand, bullion bought under
the Sherman act, is to be coined at
the rate of about four million dollars
per month. And Grover Cleveland
says that each dollar coined shall be
worth full one hundred centre
Nearly all ihe states have laws for
bidding the carrying ot concealed
weapons. With every epidemic of
murderous crankdnm there is a de
mand lhat such laws shad be enforced,
but they are not. Hundreds ot men
carry pistols and very seldom i
person punished for such a misde
meanor. If every tgan or boy caught
with a revolver in his pocket
punished as the law prescribes, a
good many tragedies might be avert
ed.—The Springfield Uoion.
An exchange tells of a woman who
bought a new-fangled coffee pot from
a peddler. Io the evening she showed
it to her husband, a hardware dealer,
who told her he had the same thing
in his store for half the price she paid.
“Well,” said . she, “why don’t you
advertise? Nobody ever knows what
you have for sale,”
If the president should attend the
Augusta exposition at the earnest bo*
Imitation of the management, some of
his enemies in Georgia will donbtli
charge that his purpose in coming
was to “strike down silver.” How
long will the public be deceived by
these senseless, baseless charges?
Certain papers charge, that John
Sherman andother leading republicans
are controlling Grover Cleveland aud
John G. Carlisle, as to financial legist
lation. This is t£e veriest bosh. Get
tip some other charge; this one-will
not go.

of all classes, aro suffering, though it
may bo in less degree, from tho desig

But, whilo much of the present un

one which has caused, ua the greatest

subject I quote tho following from the
American Agriculturist, showing how
universal the practice and how impor
tant to apply the retqedy:
“The fanner Vho owns his form is

6PECCLAT1VE SYSTEM OP r.VRMLSa?
Our-farmers should remember from

that after advancing it to a certain stage,
BOme one el3o will bo willing to risk the

Murderous cranks, who are found

It is fu'l time that something was
done to relieve the overworked court,
and it L tho duly of this legislature to
provide this relief.—Savannah News.

ARE YOU GOING TO PAINT?
H you arc, wc want to say a few
words to you about paints in general,
and tbe Avcrill Paint iu particular.
Cur long hot seasons aro pcculiary
trying on paint. Cheap paints arc
worthless, and the best white lead
will “chalk oil"’ In a few months.
A paint that will give a satisfactory
wear hero must be erpccially adapted
to our climatic conditions.
Tho Averill is just such a paint. It
has been largely used in this state for
over 25 years, and lias always given
satisfaction.
Wc can show yon houses painted
with it nearly 10 years ago that are
still in *ood conditiou. 'lho Averill
Paint is guaranteed to give satisfac
tion after time sufficient has elapsed
to thoroughly test it, and wc are au
thorized to protect this guarantee.
