Would women vote if they were a< corded that privilege? Mrs Belva Lockwood, Miss Anna Dickinson and a number of other female suffragists contend that they would, and to prove it they have been engaged for some years in the attempt to have the right cf suffrage bestowed upon them. It i is not propable, however, that the t me will come soon when Mrs. Lock- wood and her co-workers will have tlie satisfaction of seeing the matter put to the test in general election. In Massachusetts the women are allowed to vote for school officers and the recent action of the school commit eo of Bos ton in dropping Swintnn’a Out lines of World’s History from the list of hooks used in the public school has aroused considerable discussion in ♦hat city. The female members of the committee voted against dropping the book, but since they were unsuccess ful in their endeavor to retain it, they have appealed-to the women to elect a committee which will restore it. The result is that the women are up in arms, if such an expression may he used with reference to them, against the action taken, and for some days have Hocked in large numbers to the city hall, to he assessed in order that hey may vote at the election in De cember. It is thought that 12,000 of them will Ik* qualified to vote. Here to fore th** greatest number has been 2.000. .vi doubt, if they do not car ry their point, they will give the ojn onenl.o of >winton’s history a good ^dcal ot trouble. Among those who have qualified is a large number of young ladies, and when a pretty girl takes sides in a contest, she is very, likely to # enlist the support—excusing the expression—of her young man.

The intelligence, the honesty and the patriotism of this groat government will rise up in such power on next November, and strike the scheming politician such a blow, and crush him to the earth with such tremendous force that when the shock is over there will not he enough of his political substance left to grease the i ioint of a party giinldet.

THS PROSPEoT bRIGhTEi'S- Every day t li<- news from the North grows more encouraging, and the prospect for i glorious democratic vic tory grows brighter with each suc ceeding suurisu. EntliusiuMii has seized ugon the most sedate, and kindled its warming (ires in the cold est bosom. Doubter* cannot he found, and all shades of apprehension, have yield'd sw IV to perfect confidence of victmy.

They see they have named the wrong man, in nominating lien. Harrison, and that the scheming and of Broth er Blaine, instead ot bringing strength to the wavering cause, has only ad led deceit and rascality to weakness. Honest republicans concede to us the victory, ’ at those less scrupulous, though equally convinced of f.iilure.still seek to hide their disappointment nnd liagrin Iiehcatli the veil ot pretended rejoicng. Hut their joy i* artificial and partakes ratin e of the ghastly grin of the skeleton, than the glee of a ma i with his flesh and bones. Just wait until the Cith of next Novem er. when the hold arm of the democracy shall draw a-idc the veil, and thcskelc- ton shall stand revealed. No, we take that hack—it will not stand, the force with which the veil is drawn will be so great that its hideous bones will yield, and the structure fall amin- gle mass of phosphate to the earth. OUR NEW CHANCELLOR 1 The question is settled at last and Dr. Win. E. Hoggs is our next Chan cellor. Dr. Hoggs is an able and schollarly divine, deeply learned in all the branches of theology and science, a man of broad culture and varied ex perience. lie combines with all these the highest order of executive ability, and all the qualities of a true diseijs linarian. .Inst entering upon thv prime of life, lie has neither the im petuosity of inexperienced youth, noi the sluggish energies of drowsy age, but happily, the vigor and progress ivei.exs of manhood, are Mended with the sober judgment of advancing years, and the two combining with such perfect harmony ,make him emi nently the man for the position.

V," NOT SO BAD- After all the glooing fore-boding: of our farmers, as to an almost total failure of the cotton crops, the fleecy staple has begun to flood our markets in a most gratifying manne.r Th warm sunlight of the past three weeks has not only unfolded th** rich and snowy cotton, hut revived the waver ing spirits of »*ur poor, industrious farmers.

Hut a savior lets risen from beneath the [lines, pn- claiming freedom to our farmers from the oppressive tyranny f a most in human trust, and opining a clear ami iinobstruetive way to a future inde pendence. Day by day the fates have been propitious. The golden sun ha shed his mellow radiance, ill bounte ous plenty over all our fields, and un der its wanning rays the yielding holi- hus opened, displaying the treasure of its snowy bosom, full and rich to the smiling autumn skies. The dark season with the farmers has passed, and across the horizon of October, tin- day of gladness and rejoicing ha- dawned, all over this sectinn. The lalmrs of our farmers, in spite of the gloo n through which they have pass ed, will yet lie crowned with their merited success, and for their noble hearted consecration approving nature will Mess their fruitful fields and fill their overflowing horns with plenty PRIMARIES- The importance of primary elec tions cannot lie too strongly urged The magnificent majority won by Mr. Tuck on Wednesday, is a sufficient argument in his favor. Having pre viunsty been nominated in a Demo- cratic primary, he became tho clinic nt the Democrats of Clarke county. It was the duty of Democrats to sup |>ort him in the election of Wednes day, and united in their support, they were enabled to poll him such a vote, as to leave the opposition far behind them, in most ignominious defeat I.et us hereafter have primaries in every election. It tends to unite nnd harmonize the Democratic party, and make it powerful to resist whatev opposition dares ojqiose it. When you hear a merchant grunt bling “hard times,” ask him, “Do you advertise in the newspapers?” It is odds that he will answer you iu the negative. If you w»nL.tt) pick out the successful business m» n jn a community, scan the columns - rlir morning paper published in that cottF- munity. t he reliability of this test is mon Marly illustrated in this city than any * here in the South. Who are Angus ta’s most successful merchants?, D. they advertise?— Augusta Chronicle. THE N. L. GAFAIR verythmg iu connection with the Northeast Georgia Fair is progressing - smoothly. Favorable nqmrt* hav come from all over the section, and the farmers and merchants are all anxious to lie represented. The effort t > bring unumber if military com panic to our midst by the able executive committee, are meeting with wonder ful success, and several cities will lie represented in military organizations that will visit us. Litters of invita tion hare been sent prominent men throughout the State and South, many of whom have accepted—according to the present outlook, our Fair will be a great success. Let the energies of our people he put forth, and we pledge them out constant and unre mitting zeal to co-o]ierate with them in making our fair worthy of the great interest of this section, and worthy of the enterprising and prosperous city of Athens. I’rof. Wiggins says the cause of th yellow fever in the South is purely astronomical “On June littli 11SS1,’’ he says, “the planets were in the same line and the earth yielded to the" ten deucy tn approach the sun, and since then cyclones, earthquakes, floods, cholera and yellow fever have dev tated our planet. The advance ha- been only a few miles, hut rhe in creased solar attraction contracted the earth’s surface, causing tiood.*. Til The unequal shrinkage caused earth quakes. The atmosphere has become denser, ami consequently holds more cailion and its conqiounds in solution, producing microbes, and thus cholern and yellow fever. Several planets were in perihelion at the same time in the year 5-1? and 1CG4, and millions of [icople then perished by the plagi and black death. The mysterious murders which have recently oectired in London, a with out precedent in the history of that city of crimes. If an invisible demon had risen from the shades of hell, and brought his victim low, with the se cret weapons the infernal world, these deaths could not be shrouded with a greater mystery. In the heart of the great city of London, with the thous ands of detectives stationed in every alley, and at every corner, it is seldom (hat a crime is not detected, and its perpetrators punished. The effects of the officers have been without result, and their vigilance, so far has brought nothing to light. Superstitious peo ple, awed by the solemn mystery, stand in readiness of the day of judg ment, many have closed their places of business for meditation nnd prayer, and spend the entire days in atone ment and sacrifice. Congress is still in a semi-torpid state. Those who attend the session manage to while away the time in ■bort naps, or reading the newspapers. It is a shame that our public servants, entrusted with the affairs of this great government, should be so in different to the duties of their high office, that scarcely a quorum can be fonnd to settle questions of public moment, sod important natures, and even those who do attend must sleep away the time, or spend it idly in some other manner. Mustang Liniment THE AMENDMENT DEFEATED- Tho amendment proposed to tlie State constitution, providing for the appointment of additional judges of the supreme court has been defeated. The people have decided that the present number is sufficient, and the decision of the people, expressed at the ballot box, is paramount and su preme. That the amendment pro posed was a »ise one many of the ablest and best citizens of the State fully believed, bat the voice of the people has been heard, and now the interests of the State, the peace and harmony of its internal commerce de mands a complete and thorough ac quaintance on the part of tho few in thi he will of the man When the window-glass factories of West Pittsburg shat down some fif teen weeks ago, the high tariffites charged it up to tlie tariff agitation and the Mills bill. They started up last Monday, giving employment to several thousand men, and the dis patches say that “the outlook for trade is encouraging.” And still the tariff agitation goes on, with no prospect of its stopping, and the Mills bill, in the meantime, has made its way trium phantly through the Honse. The high tariffites should try again. The financial tour of Chairman Brice in tlie west is said to have been highly successful. _ Mustang Liniment \ The millionaire, Robert Garrett, ill gets worse.

One morning .bout two yearn ago I saw hi the news- aper that there was a young woman in Jew York whose pocketbook containing hirty-seven dollars and thirty-three ents had been stolen and site had been ■ft without a farthing at tho beginning f winter in a strange city, end no work Vtul although she was a stranger, I did lot allow the 0 o'clock mail to leave the imp post on our corner without carry •ig the thlrty.soven dollars and thirty ltreo cents; and the case was proved renuine. Now I have read all Shake speare’s tragedies and all Victor Hugo’s tragedies ana all Alexander Smith's trag .sites, but I never read a tragedy more thrilling than that case, and similar cases by the hui dreda and thousands in all our large cities—young women without money and without home and without work in these great maelstroms of metro- pniirsn life. _ When such .a rasa eomw under your observation, haw do you treat itt “Get odt of my way: we have no room in our establishment for any more hands. I don't believe in women, any way;. they aro a lazy, idle, worthless set. John, please show this person out of tlie door.” Or do you compliment her per sonal appearanco and say tilings to her which if any man said to your sister or daughter you would kill him on the spot? Tliat is one way, and it is tried every day in these'iarge cities, and many of those who advertise for female hands in fac tories and for governesses in families have proved themselves unfit to be in any place outside of bell. But there is another way, and I saw it the other day in the Methodist Book Con cern in New York, wberoa young woman applied for work and the gentleman in tone and manner said in substance: “My daughter, we employ women here, but I dn not know of any vacant place in our deportment. You had better inquire at such and such a place, and I hope you will be 6UCCCffiful In getting something to do.” Tlie embarrassed and humiliated woman seemed to give way to Christian confidence. She started out with a hope ful look that I think must have won for her a place in which to earn her bread. I rather think that consider ate and <%h£ium gentleman saved a woman. New York and Brooklyn ground up last year about thirty thou sand young women, and would like to grind up about as many Ibis year. Out of all that long procession of women who march on with no hope for this world or the next, battered and bruised and scoffed at and flung off the preci pice, not one but might have been saved for home and God and heaven. But go&l men and good women aro not in that kind of business. Alas, for tliat poor thing! nothing but tho thread of that sewing girl's needle held her. anil tho thread broke. I have heard men tell in public discourse what a man is, but what is a woman}' Until somo oi.o shall give a better definition I will tell you what a woman is. Direct from God, n sacred and delicate gift, with affections so great that no measuring line short of tliat of the infinite God con tell tlieir hound. Fashioned to refine and sootho and lift and irradiate home and society and tho world. Of such value that no ono can appreciate it, unless his mother lived long enough to let him understand it, or who in some great crisis of life, when all else failed liim, had a wife to re-enforce him with a faith in God tliat nothing could disturb. Speak out, ye cradles, and tell of tho feet tliat rncheii you and tho anxious ftcewtiKHiovered over you! Bpeok out, ye nurseries of all Christen dom, and ye homes, whether desolate or still in full bloom with the faces of wife, mother and daughter, and help me to define wiiat woman is. If a man during all his lifo accomplish nothing else ex cept to win the love and confidence and help and companionship of a good wo man, he is a garlanded victor and ought to have the hands ot all people between here and the grave stretched out to him in congratulation. But as geographers tell as that the depths of the sen correspond with the heights of the mountains, I have to tell you that good womanhood is not higher up than bad womanhood is deep down. The grander the palace, the more awful the conflagration that destroys it- The grander the steamer Oregon, tho more terrible her going down just off tho coast Now I should not wonder if you trembled a Uttlo with a sense of responsibilitv when I say that there is hardly a person in this house but may have an opportu nity to save a woman. It may in your case be done by good advice, or by financial help, or by trying to bring to bear some one of a thousand Christian influences. Ycvi would not have to go far. If, for instance, you know among your acquaintances a young woman who “ apt to nppeiKon the streets about the hour when gentlemen return from busi ness and yon fintl her responding to the smile of entire Strangers, bogs that lift their bat, go to her and plainly tell her that nearly all tho destroyed woman hood ot tlie world began the downward path with that very kind of behavior. Or if, for instnnsA you find a woman in financial distress and breaking down in health and spirits trying to support her children, now that her husband is dead or an invalid, doing that very im portant and honorable work bat which . MM ■to-s'-Ar' 1 . Iwdnvn boarding of divine sympathy. Yea, if you at- a woman favored of fortune and with a kindly surroundings finding in the ho low flatteries of the world her chief rt galement, living for herself and for timi as if there were no eternity, strive t bring her into the kingdom of God, ■ did the other day a Sabbath sola teacher who was the means of the co: version of the daughter of a man of in mense wealth, and the daughter resol v, to join the church, and ebe went hon and said: “Father, I am going to jc the church and I want you to come “Oh, no," he said, “I never , to church.” “Well,” said the dau c ter, ■ “if I were going to married, would you not go to see _ married?’’ And he said, ‘Oh, yes. Well,” said she, “this is of more i . xirtance than tliat” So he went, an las gone ever since and loves to go. do not know but that faithful Sabbc. school teacher not only saved a worn: but saved a man. There may be iu tl.. audience gathered from all parts of A world, the meet cosmopolitan ossernb in all the earth, there may be a su whose beliavior toward womanhood i. been perfidious. Repent! Stand u thou masterpiece of sin and death, th. I may charge youl As far as posiib.. make rejioration. Do not boast that yc have her in your power and that th cannot help herself. When tliat fin collar and cravat and that elegant suit • cIothM come off and your uncoven-’ soul stands in judgment and before Gon. you will be better off if yon save tliai woman. There is another exploit tliat you can do, and that js to save a child. A child does not seem to amount to much. It i. nearly a year old before it can walk a: alL For the first year and a half it can not speak a wotd. For the "first tc: years it would starve if it hail to ear: its own food. For tlie first fifteen years ita opinion on any subject is absolute!- valueless. And then there are so man.' of them. My! what lots of children And some peoplo have contempt fo, children. They ore good for nothin- but to wear out tho carpets an break things and keep you anal, nighty crying. Well, your es:i mato of a child L quite differei from tliat mother’s estimate who lost la child this summer, They took it to tl: salt air of tlie seashore and ><j the ton: air of tho mountains, but no help cam and tho brief paragraph of its life . ended. Suppose that life could be r stored by purchase, how much won. that bereaved mother give? She won. take all the jewels from tier fingers atu neck and bureau and put them Jowr And if told that that was not enough siio would take her house and make ov. tho dm! for It, and if that wi; not enough she would call in all b- investments and put down all her mo: gages and bonds, and if told that we- not enough she would say: “I have me over all my property, and if I can lia\ tliat chilel back I will now pledge that will toil with my own hands and earn with my own shoulders in any kind o hard work, and live inaccllhr and di in a garret. Only give me back that lo- darling," I am glad that there are tine- who know something of the value of ; child. Its possibilities are tremendous What will those bauds yet do? Where will those feet yet walk? Toward what destiny will that never dying soul in take itself? Sliall those lips be tli throne of blasphemy or benediction Come, all ye surveyors of tlie earth, an. bring link ami chain and measure if you can its possible possessions. Come, all ye astronomers of Hie earth, with your telescopes aud tell us if you can see tlie range of its eternal flight. Come, all ye chronologistand calculate the decades on decades, tlie centuries on centuries, tlie cycles on cycles, the eternities on eternities of its lifetime. Oil, to save a child! Am I not right in putting that among tlie great exploits? Yea, it beats tho other two, for if you save tlie child you save tlie man or vsiu save the woman. Get the first twenty years of tluit boy or girl all right and I guess you liave got manhood or womanhood all right, and tlieir entire earthly and eter nal career all right. But wiiat are you going to do with those children who are worse off than if their father or mother had died the day they were born? There . , are tens of thousands of such. 'Tlieir ’ parentage \,as against them. Tlieir name is against them. Tho structure of their skulls against them. Tlieir nerves and muscles contaminated by tlie in ebriety or dissoluteness of their parents, they are practically at tlieir birth laid out on a plank in the middle of tlie At lantic ocean in an equinoctial gale and told to mako for shore. Tho first greet ing tliey get from the world is to lie called' a brat or a ragamuffin or a wharf rat. Wiiat to do with them is the question often asked. There is another question quite as pertinent, and that is, Wiiat aro they going to do with us? They will ten or eleven years from now have as many votes as the same number of well born children, and they will hand this land over to anarchy and political damnation just as sure as we neglect them. Suppose wo each ono of us save a boy or save a girl. You can do it. Will you? I will. Taken cake of per- fuuicci soap and a iiuetoothed comb and n New Testament and a little candy and prayer and a piece of cake and faith in God and common sense, and begin this afternoon. But how shall we get ready for one or all of these three exploits? We shall make a dead failure if in our own strength wo try to save a man or woman or child. But my text suggests where we are to get equipment. “The people that do know their God shall bo strong, and do exploits.” We must know him through Jesus Christ in our own salva tion and then we shall have his help in the salvation of others. And while you are saving strangers you may save somo of your qwn kin. You tiiink your broth ers end sisters and children and grand children nil safe, but they are not dead, and no ono is safe till he is dead. Ou the English coast there was a wild storm and a wreck in the ofiing. and tiro cry was: “Man the lifeboat.” But Harry, the usual leader of the sailors’ crew, was not to bo found, and they went without him, and brought back all tlie ship wrecked people except one. By this time Harry, tho leader of tho crew, ap peared and said: “Why did you leave that oncl” The answer was: "Ho could not Help himself nt nil and wo could not get him into the boot.” “Man tho life boat,” shouted Harry, “and wo will go for that one," “No,” said his aged mo ther standing by, “you must not go. I lost your father in a storm like this, and your brother Will went off six years ago and I lravo not heard word from Will since he left, and I don't know where be is, and I don’t know what has happened to him, poor Will, and I cannot let you also go, for I am old and dependent on you.” His reply was: “Mother, I most go and save that ono man, and if I am lost God will take care of you in your old days." The lifeboat put out, and after an awful struggle with tho sea they picked tho poor fellow out of the rigging just in time to save ids lifo, and started for the shore. And as they came within speaking distance, Harry, just before he fainted! from the over exertion, cried out: “We saved him, and tell mother it was c Will.” OU, yes, my friends, let us start] out to save some one for time and for eternity, some man. some woman, some child. And who imowa but it may, di rectly or indirect];, be the salvation of one of our own kindred, and that will bo un exploit worthy of celebration when tho, world itself is shipwrecked and tiro sun I has goao out like a spark from a smitten] anvil and all the stars are dead!

No other article of human food has ever received such high, emphatic, and universal endorsement from eminent chemists, physicians, scientists, and Boards of Health all over the world.

A pound can of each powder was taken, the total leavening power or volume of gas, in. each can calculated, the result being as indicated. This practical test for worth by Prof. Scliedler only proves what every observant consumer of the Koval Baking Powder knows by practical experience, that, while it costs a few cents per pound more than ordinary kinds, it is far more economical, besides affording the advantage of better work. A single trial of the Koyal Baking Powder will convince any fair minded person of these facts. • * While the diagram shows some of the alum powders to be of n comparatively high degree of strength, it Is not to be taken as indicating that they have any value.
