GETTING READY FORWOKK
The nin h district democracy is
o tting ready for active work in the
c ming congresai mal campaign. The
democratic executive commitee
timing i its chairman, Hon. C H
Brand, of Gvinnett, has been called
lo meei at an early date, and plans
will then be arranged to meet any
attack that may be made upon the
rtem cracy in that district. The
democracy of the old ninth is always
ready to do g >o 1 campaign service
FORMALLY SWORN IN
Senator Walsh has been formally
sworn in and is now a full-fledged
Senator. He was warmly congraiu-
la ! ed by the Georgia members and
has a ready taken a high stand
among his colleagues. He will be
given several nice places on the
c< mtuiUee, and will^ retain a [the
appointees made by the late Senator
(J riqui'.t. Georgia lo ks forward
with great interest to the work of
Senator Walsh in the upper branch
cl Congress.
THE RACE IN BIBB
Correspondence in the Atlanta
Constitution from Macon says tha
the race between General Evans and
Mr. Atkinson in Bibb county is
about even. This is quite a conces
sion from such an ardent journalistic
supporter of General Evans. You can,
judging from this statement appear
ing in the Constitution, safely count
the. vote of Bibb county in the At
kinson column. That great avalans
che seems to be dwindling down
considerably.
IT FELL FLAT.
The speech of Senator Hill on the
tar tl question tn the Senate fell very
tl it. It was a comp'ete argument on
the tariff as the eastern democracy
sees it, bat that waaall. Consequently
it raised but a faint ripple of cp
plause. His attack on the income
tax was expected but carried no
force with it. The day of the eastern
democratic-republican, mug wumpery
is abont over in this country. It is
fast passing in its checks.
TO ABOLISH SLEEP-
K lieon, the wizard of electrici y,
is quo’ed as saying that the reason
'trby so much tics is “lost in sleep”
is i hat the world has not a satis-
factory artificial light. The theory
is that it is darkness nl^ne that
makes sleep necessary, ai d iha with
daikness abolished by an artificial
light, the necessity for sl*ep vv mid
also be abolished. And Edison
thinks that in electricity we have
the agent that can give the neces-
S4r >’ light, but that the apparatus
for the proper light, having in a
degree the properties of sunlight, has
Dot yet been perfected. It is men
tioned of the wizard himself that he
once worked eeventy- two hours, by
electric Ugh’, without sleep. But the
counter statement is made that he
slipt six’y hours afterwards. How
ever that may be, the theory of the
ab >1 tion of sleep is very vague;
besides, it would hardly be desirable,
if possible, to do away with “tired
na.ure’s sweet restorer.”
ened circumstances, and that if the
Sate pays i he la wye s who accuse,
it ought also to remunerate the conu»
st 1 who defend. In many countries
the presiding judgt often assigns the
defense of pauper prisoners to law
yers present in court. But this ap-
plies only to criminal cases, and in
asmuch as these ex-rffiJo counsel
ri ci ive no p»y for the work thus un
dertake!), in ihe m joiity of ti e cases
the interests of the p or prisoner
have to suffer. Emperor Alexander s
plar. of appointing defending cr-nr- I
at a fixed rate of remuneration l y
the state obvia'es this drawback
ssss
SEWERS AND L’GHTS
The deposition of the question of
sewirs and ligh's by the f ouncil will
as a whole be » atisfactory to the peo
ple in our judgment-. While it is
necessary to build more sewers than
those planned, the building of those
wiil be s sta ter and will in a large
manner relieve the necessities of the
case. The city ought to own its lighi
plant but the sewers being m re
necessary just now and the presem
company reducing the cost of lightB
len dollars per light, the disposition
f that question was about the best
string that could have been dire at
t h:s lime. The construction of the
-itwtrsge system and the light system
n this year would have been burd
ens me on the tax payers and if one
is to be given up then it was p'oper
to give up the light plant for one
year. We believe the city ownership
of its light plant would be for the
general benefit of the peep'e, and
■ 1 at next year the plaa will be
perfected whereby Athens will take
that step towards improvement.
THE AVALANCHE TRANSFERRED
Ail that avalanche talk of the
Evans papers has ceased—in fact
t tai word never appears nowadays
in their columns. There are two
reasons for this, first because it can
not b» told concerting General Evans
i hat an avalanche is sweeping him
into office, because be is in fact goirg
the other way; secondly it is true
hat the avalanche has been trans
ferred to Atkinson and is bearing
him to the gubernatorial chair,
necessitating of course the suppres
sion of t uch a fact in their column*.
If a person will carefully read be
tween the lines in the Evans papers
he will very readily see that the
avalanche is gone and is not. going
to return this way. It passed harm
lessly and only but a few newspaper
Dili jes. It didn’t catch up a gov
ernor in its path but left General
Evans as a candidate along the
roadside. Atkinson’s avalanche
will catch him up about Aug. 22nd
when he will be nominated for gov.
ernor of Georgia.
A NEW DEPARTURE.
Alexander III, of Russia, deter
mined apparently on living up to
his surname of the “Peasant Czar,"
has Just given orders for the putting
into execution of an elaborate and
carefully considered scheme of pro.
Tiding state-paid attorneys for the
people. The duties of these crown
lawyers will odhsist in the gratui
tous defense of the poor, especially
of the peasantry, in criminal and
civil actions. Alexander is of the
opinion that wherever the state ap
points a public prosecutor, it also
ought to provide a public defender,
fires of cost, for the accused persons,
they happen to be poor or in strait
the income tax.
The speech of Senator Hill upon
the income tax. has not swerved a
sirgle supporter from the advocacy
of that feature of the tariff bill. It
ia stronger now than ever before. It
is stronger by reason of the fact that
< he public is more clearly convinced
•t' the justice and equity of such a
jaw It puts the burden where it
should in all justice rest. It demands
of those who enjoy the greatest
privileges of government to con
tribute their share of taxes. The
Atlanta Constitution snms up the
argument very aptly as follows:
The income tax is so manifestly
just and equitab'e that the rich men
of England, in t heir parliament, have
voluntarily imposed it upon them
selves for the past fifty years. It is
easily collected and is not
mire inquisitorial than any
other tax When we adopt it onr
tariff difficulties will disappear. Tax
ation will be equalized, and the pub
lic hardens will bs borne by thtse
who are beet able to shoulder them.
Notes and Comments.
The primary for the election of dele
gates to the gubernatorial convention
from Bartow county has beep called for
the 12th of May.
C. C. Moore, editor of the Bine Grass
Blade, a prohibition-infidel paper, has
been imprisoned on the charge of blas
phemy and of being a nuisance. He
will publish hie paper from the jail.
Tom Watson’s friends are again hint
ing that be ia a possible candidate of
the populists for governor. Tommy is
saying nothing himself, but his friends
can do the talking.
It is rumored that Governor Nortben
will be offered the presidency of Mercer
University on retiring from the guber
natorial chair. He has devoted many
years to the profession of teaching and
is an able educator.

tinguished citizens Ex-President
Htrri'on, Whitelaw Reid, Robert T.
Lincoln, Gen Sohofleld and George M.
Pullman took a stroll together through
the grounds the other day.
The prominent democrats of Minne
sota have issued an address in which
they denounce in the strongest lan
guage those members of the party in
congress who have been dickering
with the republicans. Id the address
the demand is made that the pledges of
the platform be carried out.
The Evangelist feels called upon to
deny the report that Bro. Moody is in
poor health It is admitted, however,
that hie pbyaioian baa thought it well
to restrict him to two sermons a day, as
-» u?ual thing, and has advised him to
take but a single Btep at a time in
mounting a long stairway
Mr. R F. Maddox, of Atlanta, ha-
just returned from the north, and he
reports that in a conversation with Mr.
-tcretary Smith, the latter stated that
President Cleveland favors the repeal
of the 10 per cent tax on state banks,
and that he would shortly have a mes
sage on that subject.
The Columbus- Enquirer-Sun says:
Madeline Pollard will doubtless get a
very small money verdict from the
Washington jury, but she .will accom-

Acoordmg to a reoent issue of the
London and China Telegraph, the cot
ton interest in Japan is going ahead in
a most remarkable way. In 1888 the
production of cotton yarns in Japan
was less than 1,000,000 pounds. In
1892 it had risen to more than 64,000,000
p >unds. This result is due, of oourse,
to the cheapness of labor in Japan,
which renders the cost of production
even less than in India.
The Times-Demoo rat’s special from
the City of Mexloo, says: “The high
est court of Mexico has confirmed the
sentence of death reoently'passed upon
Charles Adams, the American who
murdered a waiter in a restaurant here
three years ago. Adams comes of a
prominent family tf New Orleans, and
the American colony have used every
effort to h*v<» his sentence lightened.
He will probably be shot within the
next few days.
The Atlanta Journal says: Lord
Rosebery’s first ecolesiastioal nominee,
Rtv. T. W. Leigh, who has just bsen
designated dean of Hereford, is well-
known in religious and temperance oir<
cles at home and abroad. He was asso
ciated with the co-operative movement
in temperanoe work and Christian so
cialism, and was a personal fnend of
the late Key. ubarles Spurgeon. He
passed four years on a plantation own
ed by his wife in Georgia, and spent
most of his time while there in endeav-
oring-to evangelize the negroes. Lord
B isebery paid a visit to Mr. Leigh in
Georgia during the premier’s visit to
the United State some years ago.

Fa r Georgia! how my full heart swells
As that proud name sabres rn'ue ear;
What e ones it wakes in memory’s cells—
How grand thy destiny appears.
Although so more am-ngthi hills,
Thy wandering ton a home may el dm,
My lyre in boldest measure thrills,
Whene'er 1 breathe thy glorious name.
Ol i Yonah, In hie solemn pride,
Ut s from hi* breast his craggy piles.
While at his feet hie lovely bride,
The beautiful Nacoochee, amUea;
And Kennesaw bis double head
From thee uproars In power serene,
While near him o’er Its pebbly bed,
Boll* Chattahoochee's azure sheen.
Upon thy soil has nature raised
Her monumental granite rock,
Around whose brow forages blazed
The Ughtnirgs, yet It felt no shock;
For calmly wrapped in clondy g'ay,
Defying Time e’en from its birth,
It stands nought telling of decay,
The greatest monument on earth.
Flair learDing’s gifts by thee are showered
O’er every one; on every hand,
In academic shades embowered
Thy seats of learning dot the laDd.
Old Franklin counts her foster eons,
Who stand in fame’s proud fane, by scores;
And Mercer boasts her honored ones,
Whose minds are trained within her doors.
From Oglethope’s time-honored haUs
Have issued men thou clalm’st with pride.
And Emory's venerated wails
Have tent forth minds ofglant stride;
Upon her hill-environed plain.
Doth beauteous Marietta stand;
'Its hers in arts of war to train
refenders of ourown dear land.
Toward the western border line,
Near Chattahoochee's silver stream.
Where groves of maple, oak and pine,
Drive off the sun’s too garish beam.
A village tits midst classic shades,
Which fairer grow j by every change,
And many bright-eyed, laughing maids,
By thee are fostered, sweet LaGrange.

Break the wild waves o! emera’d green.

Tby wanderer greets thee from afat.

my match with Jackson. I think the
public has faith enough in me to believ*
that I shall be on hand to defend aj
title when the time come.
“I prefer fighting in this conntrr, bat
will not insist on it when I find it im
possible to bring it off here. It is ass-
less—Jackson talking about fighting ia
June. There is no club in view, sad I
cannot be expected to sit down quiefij
and wait for one to come along.
“All I shall ask is a say in the selec

parse money is all right and suffideot
warrant that there will bo no police in
terference.”

The following from the Atlanta Con
stitution is of interest to eighth district
people. That paper says:
“It is as natural for a Georgia politl*
cian or one who has any finger at all * n
S:ate politics to find his way to Uncle
Bob Hardeman’s office at the treasury
when becomes to Atlanta, as it w for
him to return in kind the greeting of
the suave Ed Calloway, as he throws
his grip on the desk at the Kimball.
There were several of them up there
yesterday. Senator Felix Corput, who
so ably represented the Rome district
in the l&Bt State senate; Judge Hamil
ton McWhorter, who presides over th*
Northern ciicuit, and who is just now
being very strongly talked of for oon-
gress from the eighth district; Colonel
John Hart, of Greene, ex legislator snd
one of the prominent candidates forth*
judgeship of the Oomulgee circuit,
Senator Tom Robinson, of Tsilulah
Falls; Mark Hardin, of oourse, and
eral o’hers, were among Uncle Bob'*
guests during the day.
*• ‘It iB true,’ said Judge McWhorter,
in response to some of the question*
asked him, ‘that I have had a number
of requests from different countie* of
the eighth district asking ms to m»ke
the race for congress. 1 have not,hoW-
ever, as yet, at least, determined to do
so. I appreciate very highly all that
my friends have said in my behalf
their promise of support, but I sm oot
in polities and as to this particular of
fice can only say that I may be able 0
state something more definite one w»f
or the ether later on.’
“ ‘And that means ’ broke in »»»

“ ‘It means Just what I “f* ***
Judge McWhorter. ‘I am not now*
candidate for congress. Judge LaW*»

and I should hesitate a good while
fore opposing him- I do not kn
what will be the result.’ ”
