The alliterative campaign scribbler in abroad. Hear him in an exchange: “Thurman’s triumphant tour thrills the thronging thousands. R. M. Townbidge, a collector for the Equitable accident insurance company, at Chattanooga, has been arrested on a charge of embezzlement, which he denies. ,lay Gould gives it as his opinion that the Presidential election will not affect the business interests of the country, no matter which party is successful. The conservative element of both paities agree with him. The prohibitionists of the third dis trict of Tennessee held a convention in Chattanooga on Saturday, and nomi nated Judge Lewis Shepard as their can didate for Congress, and Hon. A. L. Spears, of Jasper, for State Senator. Speak nit Carlisle says he is willing to meet Rlaine on the stump. If Blaine takes up the gauntlet, it will be the grandest forensic display since the days of Webster, Clay and Calhoun and will he t he memorable event of the campaign of 1888. The Central Railroad and Banking company of Georgia has bought the bonds of the Cincinnati, Selma and Mobile railroad. The transfer was made last week. Between $1 200,000 and sl,- 500,000 worth of bonds were bought at about fifty cents on the dollar. After a manful struggle of some months the bright little Atlanta Capitol succumbed to the inevitable last week, and threw up the sponge. There are few harder workers than Manager Atwood in this country, and you may depend upon it that he won’t remain down very long. - M ex of the border States, and “pivotal" States, where political excitement runs high, will find a quget and happy refuge from it all by coming to our good old State of Georgia. Here every man thinks and votes as he pleases, without disturb ing the repose of his neighbor, or being disturbed himself. Large co-operative building societies have built whole towns in the midlands of England. The savings of the wage earner can.in no way be used so as to benefit himself and the place he resides in so effectually as in a co-operative build ing association. It has been often tried and fully proven. The troubles between races at St. Mar tinsville, La., have been quieted by the whites disarming the negroes, without more loss of blood than the wounding of one negro in the arm, though a number of shots were exchanged. Several of the colored leaders were escorted out of the parish, and warned not to return. A negro man was lynched near Rock mart last Saturday night, by hanging from the railroad trestle, for the com mission of an infamous outrage. "When will people learn that immediate death is the penalty for this class of crimes— for which both white and black men are being summarily dealt with almost (‘very day. * At Athens, Friday, Judge Howard Van Epps, in speaking of Maj. McKinley's speech, said that, as a speech against free trade, he considered it very strong and replete with argument, but that it hardly touched the real issue between the two parties. A prominent Athenian was heard to say that he considered Judge Van Epps’ speech much the finer of the two. The Democratic primary in Fulton, county last Saturday resulted in the choice of Mr. Rice by a majority of 305 over Judge Hammond for State Senator. It is conceded on all hands to Rave been u fair election. Though supported mainly by the “antis,” a considerable number of prohibitionists also voted for Rice. A primary will be held on Septem ber 25th to select candidates for the House of Representatives. Che Courant-American has not much time nor apace to devote to politics. There is already a great deal of unneces sary agitation. Georgia is all safe for Cleveland and the reform policy of the Democratic party. Hence, we can give tlie more attention to the more import ant aiatter of building up the material interests of our Sunny South, and especi ally the grand old county of Bartow. JACKSONVILLE’* HCOUttCiK. A dispatch of Saturday night from Jacksonville, Fla., says: It is four weeks to-day since the first case of yellow fever was brought to this city. There is a gratifying decrease of new cases to-day. Only seven are renorted, tour in a single family in one house in east .Jacksonville. No deaths occurred. A fireman was taken to St. Luke’s hospital apparently in a dying condition, but with the care of Dr. Fernandez and faithful nursing he has rallied. Two cases were discharged cured, neither being well developed cases. The following is the report to this date: Total cases, 91; under treatment, 39; deaths, 12; discharged cured, 20. This does not include cases at Greenland which were all in one house among refugees. The city sexton this week re ports only thirteen deaths in the city, of which lour were from yellow fever. This does not include three deaths at Sand Hills hosuital from yellow fever. The following are the seven cases repor ted to-dav: William Craugh, from 34 West Union street; Jose Bartholdt, from Grand Union hotel; Inez Rosignold, Aaron Rosignold, William Rosignold, Clarke Rosignold, east Jacksonville; Hugh I). Roberts, from 107 Forsyth street. Died, none. Discharged, Miss Kate Hendrick and Frank Perry. There were nine new cases reported yesterday, as follows: Rurton Mayo, colored; Fan nie and Grace Harden, two children, cor ner of Pine and Forsyth; Miss McCraig, corner of Pine and Forsyth; Henry Mc- Guire, no number; Mr. F. E. Bogue, 42 West State street, a leading Bay street furniture dealer; Miss Minnie Bours, 87 East Adam Htreet; Mrs. F. A. Bogart, 07 East Monroe street, and Emilio Gas tello, 31 East Adam street. Died, two —E. W. Dixon, jeweler, at St. Luke's hospital, and Fireman Craugh, who was taken sick yesterday. A yellow fever patient was also brought down from Boulogne quarantine camp on the train and was sent to the hospital. Great consternation was created last Friday when the S. F. & IV. It. It. refused to receive passengers to leave the city. The company’s reason was that they were not allowed to pass through other places. The company simply runs a mail train to fulfill contracts. The United States government has chartered a train from the road and will run it daily from Jacksonville to Boulogne, leaving there at about 1:30 p. in., each day. Passage to the camp will be provided by the gov ernment free, the only requisite being certificates from the board of health as to freedom from disease. Passengers must, however, satisfy the board that they intend going there simply for quar antine purposes. After a period of ten days, during which the passenger is kept at the government’s expense, he is dis charged and may go on to any part of the country at will. Baggage can either be kept at Waycross or forwarded to Savannah after fl%nigation. THK LAST 311 ,%S YGK. Cleveland’s last message is a stunner. It comes as the result of a partisan Sen ate's refusal to ratify the treaty recently negotiated between this country and Great Britain on the fisheries question. The old treaty as it stands, empowers the President to retaliate upon Canada for any bad treatment to our American fishermen; blit it was better to settle the impending difficulties by an amendment of the treaty Since the Senate refused to ratify the amended treaty, the Presi dent promptly comes to the rescue of American interest by taking such action as will protect them. The country is fortunate in having a President who is truly American, and who has backbone sufficient to give John Bull to understand, and that promptly, that the rights of our citizens will be jealously guarded and protected by the government. Of course the Republican leaders will try to falsify the true situation in order *o hide their own failure 1o come to the rescue, but they will not be able to do it. The country isrealizing more and more every day that we have at last put a man iu the White House who is a real chief- magistrate—a President in the true sense of the word. ROME’S EXPOSITION. Our people must not forget the North Georgia and Alabama Exposition, at Rome, October Ist to October 13th. Bartow should be liberally represented in the general display. Thousands of visitors from a distance will visit this exposition to see some thing of the products of North Georgia, and it would be a great mistake torus to miss the opportunity of advertising our city, which this fair would afford. The premium list is very bberal, amounting to s>lo,ooo. We must have some of those premiums. Judge Hook, State school commis sioner, has decided to keep in future a complete list of applications made by teachers for positions in schools, and of schools in search of teachers. Informa tion of this character will be furnished on application. The judge and Mr. Orr are busy as bees now computing the school population of the S*ate. Their report may be relied on as the result of accurate and painstaking work, and will be ready now in a short while. Mr J. H. Bass, of Indiana, said to be the greatest manufacturer of car wheels in the world, is in favor of the Mills bill, as he believes it would promote the pros perity of manufacturers’ Urtmiifl Floor Yet. A Northern correspondent writes to know if there is still a chance to “get in on the ground floor'’ at CartersviHe. Yes. While choice central property is held at figures that seem high in comparison with a few years back: yet, considering everything it is low yet. while splendid property just out of the centre and bordering the suburbs can be bought at very low prices. It is true that some property has al ready more than doubled in value in a few months, but the truth is, it is mostly yet on ground floor prices. In manufacturing enterprises, and many lines of business there is plenty of room on the ground floor; and big in ducements are offered for the location of all kinds of manufactures. Our advice is, to come—view the ground. Take a look at the mountains of rich minerals, the rich farming lands; quaff the splendid water, inhale the healthful breezes, enjoy the delightful climate fora season; and then look at the map—consider the wonderful possi bilities of our thriving city, and you will soon decide that there are finer oj>en ings for live, energetic men right here, than are to be found the country. A rill is now before the United States Senate, which proposes, in effect, to merge all mail matter in the present third and fourth classes into one class, with a uni form rate of one cent for each two ounces or fraction thereof. This bill allows the sending of certain articles of merchandise through the mails at half the rate now charged, and will greatly benefit some branches of business. A gentleman near LaCrosse, Schley county, was boring a well not long since, when the anger broke off about twenty feet down and he was in a dilemma as to how to proceed with his work when a happy thought struck him. He got some one to tie a rope around his heels and let him down head foremost, when he got the broken tool and was soon safely landed on “terra firma,” City Court Jurors.

She has gone to that upper and better world, where all who lived the life she lived go. She was loved by all who knew her, both friends and relatives. She was a member of the Presbyterian church at Euharlee, Ga.., since 1854, and lived up to the rules ot the church of her choice. She leaves one brother and two sisters, and many nieces and nephews, to mourn her death. She was interred p the old family graveyard near McGinnis, Ga., known as the Sproull graveyard. Once more our hearts are burdened With the weary weight of woe. Once more a home-taced loved one From our circle called to go. Once more the gates are opened In the home of angels blest; Once more the heavy laden And the weary have found rest. Like a. lily, pure and spotless, She has laded from our sight; Sickness, sorrow, pain can never, Reach her in that world of light. One Who Loved Her. A Log Cabins were strong holds of love, contentment, / t health and happiness. Coon T"d\ A— j*kins were nailed to the |( t /7.
