OFFICIAL ORGAN OF COUNTY AND CITY
tUBSCRIFTION. »1 SO P*B YKAR IK ADVANCE.
LARGEST OKOUTBt II NORTHEAST GEORGIA.
T. L. GANTT, Editor & Prop’r
the cotton futures decision.
The decision of the Supreme
Court of Georgia in the case of the
Exchange Bank of Augusta vs.
Cunningham is important,inasmuch
as it sets the seal of condemnation
upon dealings in “futures.” It has
been prettv generally believed that
such transactions were but a spe
cies of gambling and that the courts
will condemn them.
The decision is valuable, howcv
er, more than for the moral effect it
may have upon exchanges and in
dividual dealers than for any dim-
inition of the practice of this spe
cies of speculation, that it may work
per se. Men will gamble till the
crack of doom, and gentlemen,
however wrongful the practice, will
hesitate long—no matter what the
sacrifice may be, ere they refuse to
pay a gambling debt. True, in
some cases necessity may impel the
loser to take advantage of the ruling
of the court, but that dealings in fu
tures will decrease to any marked
extent by reason of the decision is
not to be expected.
It would he well for the young
men of the South, if the moral tone
of commercial circles should become
so elevated as to taboo the practice
of dealing in futures, but until this
reformation is wrought, nothing
shore of a penal statue will accom
plish any stable improvement. Even
with such a statue men would still
lake risks. If the decision, howev
er, shall act as the leaven of reform
that will permeate commercial cir
cles, many a young man will be sav
ed, in a measure, from the anguish
and disgrace, that speculation too
often gives tise to, and many a
household will not be made to suffer
the misery that the recklessness of
its head so often involves.
OFF FOR CONGRESS.
1i aintm tlle Eatjlf.
lion. Allen D. Candler, our Con
gressman elect, left last night for
Washington city, where Congress
convenes on Monday next.
This man whom our people have
honored so graciously is deserving
ot all honor, and we say it with
pride, affection and esteem. A man
who, by his indomitable will doth
raise himself financially and intel
lectually ns hchasdone in the mean
while, always standing on the side
of morality, justice and honor, lis
tening to the dictates of 'reason and
sound sense—is destined to occupy
no inferior position, and will grace
with honor any field of operations
in which lie may be placed by an
appreciative people.
lie goes away without a blot on
his character, without a scintilla of
evil suspicion resting behind in the
breast of his people, and will return
— ffter having worked earnestly—
pledged to the best interest of his
section and the democracy of Geor
gia.
We in the behalf of the growing
democracy of the Ninth Congres
sional district that elected him, arc
willing for his record to judge of
him.

fish was almost unknown until Mr.

varieties from Bremen for the Uni

A singular case is reported at St.
Thomas, Canada. A young man
employed in the sewing machine
works, who has been accustomed to
working alone, has become so prone
to whistling that as soon as he is by
himself he unconsciously begins.
Even when asleep he whistles with
astonishing shrillness. A pale coun
tenance and a loss of appetite re
cited, and a physician recommend
ed that the young man be placed in
the society of a boy, who should
give him a blow as soon as be be
gins to whistle. This novel reme
dy will be tried.
Train robberies still continue to
be one of the principal products ol
the wild west. A well bred train
robber can go out about Denver or
Leadville, and get good wages and
plenty of work to do. All young
dime novel readers should avail
themselves of this opportunity to
marry a quick living and have a
chance to make a big name at short
notice. Several newspapers are
having train robbers to go out west
just to give them a chance to get up
a double-headed article.
THANKSGIVING DAY.
Itt Origin, El story and Some of Its Observances
The Magazine of American His
tory gives us the history of Thanks
giving day and its origin. From
the papers we learn that the earli
est thanksgiving service was held
by the Church of England men.
The Popham colonists, who, Au
gust 9, 1607, (O. S.) landed upon
Monhcgan, near the Kennebec, and
under the shadow of a high cross,
listened to a sermon by Chaplain
Seymour, “giving good thanks for
our happy meetings and safe arri
val in the country.”
Next we pass to Plymouth, where
in 1621, the autumn after the arri
val, a notable thanksgiving was
held. The brief accounts present a
joyous picture. As we learn from
\\ inslow, the harvest being gather
ed, the governor "sent four men
out fowling, that so we might, after
a special manner, rejoice together,’’
and the traditional turkey was ad
ded to the abundant venison. The
people gave themselves up to recre
ation, and the great chief Massasoit
was feasted for three days with his
ninety swarthy retainers.
Possibly on this first Plymouth
thanksgiving, there was more ca
rousing than wc suppose, while
there is not the slightest indication
of any religious observance. Mas-
sasoit and his braves, no doubt, en
joyed it all greatly, as the thanks
giving idea was entertained by the
Indians before their contact with
the whites, and in their celebrations
there was much excess. How much
"comfortable warm water” the
grave and reverend elders them
selves consumed during those three
days of jollity. Bradford does not
say.
In 1622 there is no mention of
thanksgiving, hut in 1623 a day was
kept, not. however, in tne autumn
as a harvest festival, hut in July,
upon the arrival of some provisions.
After ibis nothing more is heard of
thanksgiving at Plymouth for near
ly half a century. So far as the
colonial records go. they indicate
tha» the day did not find a revival
until 166S, whep there was some
kind of a thanksgiving. Again,
June 27, 16S9, there was a thanks
giving lor tlie accession of William
and Mary. In 1690 an autumnal
thanksgiving was held, and the next
year Plymouth colony was merged
in Massachusetts, and so passes out
of the story. If any festival can he
said to have been established, it was
established in imitation ot the cus
toms across the sea. Distinct re
ligious societies, however, may have
kept occasional thanksgivings, as
the people at Barnstable observed
thanksgiving on December 22, 1636,
and December tl, 1639.
In the Massachusetts colony the
first thanksgiving was held at Bos
ton, July 8, 1630, it being a special
occasasion, having no reference to
harvests. Again, in February. 1S31,
there was a thanksgiving, as already
noticed. In the October followed
a thanksgiving was held fertile safe
arrival of “Mrs. Winthop and her
children.” In these appointments
we do not find the thanksgiving
that we know to-day, nor do we
detect any fell design against Chris-
mas. In 1632, one June 5, tnere
was a thanksgiving for the victo
ries of the Palatinate, and in Octo
ber another for Jthe harvest. In
1637 there was a thanksgiving for
victory over the Pequots, and in
163S for the arrival of ships and for
the harvest. The thanksgiving for
days from 1634 to 16S4, numbered
about twenty-one in every two
years. The celebration of 1676 had
special reference to the victory over
King Philip. From the period un
til the revolution, a thanksgiving of
some kind occurred nearly every
other year and even twice in the
same year, as in 1745. Some of
these days were appointed by the
royal governors, while again they
were ordered by the King or
Queen or l»y the home board of
trade.
After the close of the tevolution
a tendency to make Thanksgiving
day a regular instition in New York
was at once apparent, and Gov.
John Jay, in 2795, issued a procla
mation for the 11 th of November.
The act however was seized upon
by politicians, who maintained that
he was seeking to JUatter religious
prejudices.
At an early period, also, the May
ors of New York were accustomed
to appoint a day of thanksgiving,
in accordance with the recommen
dations of tlie council, and that of
December 16, 1799, appears to have
been the first so ordered. Yet the
observance of the day until Gov
ernor Clinton’s time was more or
less broken. The festival was kept
however, by Episcopalians, accord
ing to the provisions of tlie prayer-
book, other religious bodies at the
same time following their own pre
ferences. Clinton's course, like
Jay’s, excited criticism. At the
east end of I-ong Island there was
no little murmuring because the day
did not coincide with the local cus
tom. It appears that the people of
the East and Southampton observed
thanksgiving on Thursday after
the cattle were driven home from
the common pastures at Montauk
Point, the day of the return of the
cattle being fixed annually, with
due solemnity, at the town meeting,
lienee there was a collision and the
herdsmen were divided, striving as
the herdsmen of Abraham’s cattle
strove with those of Lot. But this
was no case of an immovable body
opposed to an irresistible force, and
therefore the opponents of Clinton
gave way,’though not without many
expostulations. Here was the be
ginning of the movement which
led to the first presidential procla
mation nationalizing Thanksgiving
day.

Columiiia, November 29.—The
political cases which begin to-mor
row in tlie United States court be
fore Judges Bryan and Bond, excite
widespread interest. An array of
eminent counsel, beaded by ex-At-
t irney General Youmans and exj
Governor Magrath, is retained for
the defense. They had a confer
ence here to-night and resolved to
defend accused to the last extremity.
The legislature will probably appro
priate to morrow ten thousand dol
lars for their defense. The govern
ment is represented by District At
torney Melton and Hhtory Speer.
The newspapers bitterly abuse
Speer. He will have a thorny road,
for threats are openly made against
him. He is registered at the Grand
Central hotel. He brings four as
sistants—two of them are G.Thomas
Osborne and A. F. Cooledge, of
Atlanta, and the other two are cali-
graph writers.
Chicago, Nov. 29.—A romantic
marriage took place to-day at the
Briggs House, being the culmina
tion of several years’ courtship over
the wire between a fair haired maid
en named Minnie O'Dell, of St.
]ohn, N. B., and Ilayy II. Ailing-
ton, of Fort worth Texas. Tlie two
were telegraph operators, and their
acquaintance l>y wire began several
years ago, when the young lady ac
cidently sent a message by the Fort
Worth operator mentioned. The
friendship by wire sprung up and
the two frequently conversed in the
intervals not employed. They bade
each other good morning and kissed
each other good night by electricity.
Finally Allington propose. and was
accepted in lighting time. The first
meeting at the Brigg's House was a
genuine love scene, shortly after
which a clergyman was called
and the two operators made one,
but not by wire.
Columbia, Nov. 30.—The first
political case began in the United
States court to-day, the room being
crowded. The liveliest interest was
manifested in the proceedings. The
case of the government against John
A. Mitchell, colored democrat of
Charleston, who took an active part
in the last political canvass, was
taken up. The indictment charge's
him with obstructing and intimidat
ing voters. The defense made
argument urging the court to declare
the new rule of procedure harnton
izing with the recent legislative
enactment against the prosecuting
officer standing aside jurors. Emory
Speer argued against the motion
Judge Bond overruled the motion,
Judge Bryan dissenting. The de
fense then made an effort to in
validate the jury panel on the
ground that it was illegally drawn
This, too, was overruled by Judge
Bond. The defense sought to quash
the indictment but failed. These
preliminary skirmishes occupied the
court till adjournment. To-morrow
the jury will be empaneled and the
case will take several days. It is
regarded as an important test case.
Mr. Speer is disgusted with his re
ception by the bar, which is any
thing but cordial. He is determin
ed, he says, to proceed with the
case regardless of public censure.
A joint resolution has been intro
duced in the legislature and favor
ably reported on appropriating ten
thousand dollars for the defense of
the accused in these cases. Noth
ing but unimportant routine busi
ness occupied the legislature to-day.

The people of Copiah county
Mississippi, have passed the follow
ing resolution:
Resolved, further, That from
henceforth no man, or set of men,
shall organize the negro race against
the whites in this county, and that
if it shall be attempted in the future
■we hereby give notice that it shall
be at the peril of the person or per
sons attempting so to do.
The same resolution should be
passed by the good people of every
county in every southern state. Its
passage and enforcement means
safety to society and honest gov
ernment. The effort will be made
in every southern state, including
Georgia, by bad white men to gain
political power by banding the ne
gro vote against decency an- mtelh
gence. There is danger of the sue
