All the defeated candidates have our sincere sympathy. Cartersville’s magnificent female col lege will be pushed to completion. The M. a7b. (more alcohol and beer) society of Atlanta, seem to have the swing iu local politics. It will take Brother Blaine the bal ance of the campaign to explain his opening campaign speeches. Sam Small, the thiul party candidate for the State Senate, created a lively scare in Atlanta’s political camp. Jesse A. Glenn didn’t get the Repub lican nomination for Governor, but lie came about as near “getting there Eli’ as if lie had. The whole country rejoices at the ap pearance of host, and all good people breathe a prayer for tiie speedy relief ol the yellow fever stricken sections. The people of Macon are kicking like forty against the indefinite postpone ment of the State 1 air, and are talking of holding the fair on their own hook. The only politician of any note in this country who ever argued for free trade was James A. Garfield, whom the Repub lican party loved so well that it made him President. The present session of Congress is al ready the longest in American history— and we may add that the present session will also be remarkable for the small amount of business it has transacted. A company has been formed in Atlanta for the publication of a fortnightly pe riodical to be called “The American.” l)r. James G. Armstrong will he editor in chief and Major Charles \V. Hubner "ill be the literary editor. The St. Louis Globe Democrat is the biggest thing in the way of a newspaper that reaches this office. It is also the livest and newsiest. We don't like its politics, but there is not a more com plete newspaper in America. Judge W. M. Sessions, of Marietta, is a candidate for judge of the Northern circuit, ami is the best man offering for the position. He is an upright, Christian gentleman, and not a scheming politi cian. The people should see to it that these important positions are held by just such men as Judge Sessions. Tuesday broke the record in Jackson ville. No death was announced up to riooll _the first time this has been the case since the second week of the epi demic. Ninety-eight new cases were re ported for the day. The relief fund has reached $230,867, which the board de clares to be enough to carry them safely through the terrible epidemic. A freight train on the Columbus and Western road fell through a bridge over Oat creek, near Goodwater, Sunday morning, sixty feet to the bottom, killing one white man and wounding a number of others. Sixteen cars and an engine were smashed. The trestle was a frame structure, and could not support the weight of the engine and train. Business in a general way is steadily improving. All leading lines are in better sha]>eeaoh succeeding week. The demo ralization caused by the wheat deal has about blown over, and we have nearly done with the fever scarce in the South. The country is going to fairly bound for ward once the election is out of the way; everything indicates a rousing fall and winter trade, from Maine to the Rio Grande, from Sandy Hook to the Golden Horn. The action of Gov, Gordon in suspend ing the payment of state taxes in Rich mond county until the legislature meets and takes official action in the matter will be approved by the people of Georgia. Augusta has sustained a recent loss of property, by reason of the floods, the magnitude of which is, perhaps, unpre cedented in that city. The people need all the money they can rake together to tide them over their losses, and no doubt the legislature will agree with the gov ernor that they should be relieved from the payment of these taxes at this time. A Hero of Today. The Atlanta Constitution of recent date has the following regarding Right Rev. Edwin G. Weed, Episcopal Bishop of the diocese of Florida: How sublime is the devotion and hero ism of Bishop Weed, of Florida, who walks among his people in fever stricken Jacksonville! •When the lever came, the bishop was in his old home at Augusta with his family. He was hardly acclimated in Florida, having been there only' a short time. And yet, without hesitation, he left his family and friends and his place of safety, and went to minister to his people who were sore oppressed. And there lie has been ever since. No nurse is tenderer than lie —no man more devoted—no citi zen more assiduous in the tneeting of every duty. His large wealth enables him to be a benefactor in more ways than one, and many a poor refugee now in safety, blesses him for having opened the way. All honor to this heroic bishop, who honors the great Episcopal church by his life and example! Such men are rare on earth, but they throng in heaven.
