GEORGIA NEWS. Cleanings and Winnowing*) from our State Exchange*). Savannah is troubled with rabid dogs. Macon has adopted a hog ordinance. Baldwin county owes a bonded bebt of $49,000. Work on the custom house in Atlanta is progressing. The schools of Athens* are all in a flourishing condition. The cost of engraving the new four per cent, bonds of Georgia Is $3,150. Measles have died out in and about Conyers for lack of material upon which to feed. By the recent tire at Hamburg, the loss is estimated at $50,000, and insurance $15,000. The association of southern railroad passenger agents will meet in Atlanta on the 27th inst. Considerable sickness prevails through out Richmond county —mostly fevers and pneumonia. The passenger depot at Augusta has been repaired and greatly improved by numerous additions. The Evening Ledger of Macon has beet, discontinued and will hereafter be print ed as a Sunday paper. A little daughter of Mr. William Lee, of Savannah while returning from Sun day school, was attacked by a large dog and badly bitten. A hog got jammed ii> a hollow log at Jackson, Ga., and lived on air three weeks, and now it is spoken of by the natives as that air hog. The Savannah Times says: “Gen. A. R. Lawton has purchased the McConnell residence in Atlanta, and will have it tlxcd up for his summer residence. An excursion of Georgia and North Carolina railroad presidents has gone to Baltimore to establish a through freight route from Baltimore to Augusta, via Charlotte. Gov. Colquitt has left for Washington to look after the $72,000 claim recently paid over to the state. The presumption is that the governor has gone to receipt in person for the money. It now seems to be a settled fact that lion. Wm. B. Fleming will be appoint ed judge of the eastern circuit. The election will not take place until July when the legislature meets. On Monday morning, Mr. McKeon, of Savannah, an old and well known em ployee of the Central railroad, died sud denly of heart disease, at the depot, while in the act of coupling cars. A serious stumbling-block in the im mediate construction of the Georgia Wes tern railroad is the fact that a three fourths undivided interest in the twenty miles of completed grading cannot just now be sold. A Griffin sportsman, while out hunt ing a few days, discovered and suc ceeded in capturing a white partridge. The bird died shortly afterwards, but its skin has been stuffed and the Grifflnites regard it as a great curiosity. The following were the conditions on which Macon was granted the state fair: a donation of SI,OOO cash and the city is to turn over to the agricultural society free of cost the buildings and grounds of the park with all the rights pertaining thereto and shall police the same during fair week. A Henry' county farmer came near losing his life one night recently. Ac cording to the Hampton Weekly he went out in the stable to milk a cow, but, in the darkness he got into the wrong stall and attempted to milk a mule. The milk pail saved him, blit it was eternally' ruin ed, smashed to smithereens. The rash milker escaped through the roof. A terrific hail storm passed through Screven county last Tuesday morning, the 18th inst., from Ogeechee station to the mouth of Brier creek, on the Savan nah river. It was accompanied by a continual roar of thunder, and the hail stones, many of them, were said to be as large as a guinea egg. Holly trees in its path were stripped of their leaves. PLEZZY STOVALL, SNIFFS AT WIL LINGHAM. “C. 11. C. Willingham, of the Carters ville Free Press, was fifty years old last week. lie was for many years a staunch democrat, and is still considerable of a politician and editor. Taking him all in all, we cannot but agree with one of his friends in declaring that in reaching his half century he has achieved a great vic tory.” This is culled from the classic columns of Mr. Stovall’s vehicle of thought, the Chronicle and Constitution alist. Willingham, poor fellow, had better give up the ghost at once. He has lived fifty years, and by his unaided efforts and devotion to truth, has worked from the position of a half-hand at the Prince ton factory, to be one of the ablest editors in the south, and on his fiftieth birth-day, finds himself sneered at by this superb young man for having lived so long. We hope that Willingham will look at this condescending remark in the proper light. It is quite clear that he has ‘‘lagged superfluous,” entirely too long for some people, and as a mutual friend, we suggest that he should now die as soon as may be convenient and genteel under the circumstances. It should ifbt he in a week or a month. It is best not to be too precipitate about an important matter of this sort, and then we don’t like to see an independent editor too sud denly submissive to the suggestion, how ever delicately conveyed, of a minion of organization. The fact he has lived fifty years is unquestionably regarded as a new victory of the independents. It is clearly evidence of an “incendiary,” “ambitious,” “self-seeking,” and “self aggrandizing” attempt to “disintegrate” the organization, and reduce its editors to despair. The idea that an independent editor should have the audacity to live fifty years is something not to be lightly passed over. We trust that the press as sociation will have a committee appointed to investigate Willingham’s conduct in this matter, and ir he is taking an undue time to die, let him be exterminated at once. Keese, of the Telegraph , will do the deed. It is related of Charles 11., that on his death bed he apologized to the gentlemen around him and said with a playful smile “that he had been an un conscionable time dying.” An apology of this sort from Willingham pronounced in regal style m*y sulfice to appease the .nobility and gentry who are sniffing at him for -his indecent longevity.— Athens Watchman. The Misses Howard, daughters of the late Rev. Charles Wallace Howard,‘young ladies of rare accomplishments, establish ed a school on the summit of Lookout mountain, 3,000 feet above the sea, with in a few miles of Ellers lie, the name of their home and school, a high point, higher thaa Lookout Point—and the not ed Trenton Gulch, more imposing than the grand chasm at Tallulah. The sur face of the mountain top is moderately undulating with walks or drives for sev eral miles on either side of the site select ed for the school, present a great variety and ever changing views. The summer is delightful, the average temperature be ing about 75 Fahrenheit, and the weath er Is appropriately fine in the winter.

Mrs. Felton’s Part In the Political Cam paign. Washington, 1). C., February 25. Editors Constitution —As you commented on the communication published in the Macon Te eqroph and Messenger , which was a viol >nt personal attack on Dr. Fel ton and myself, I demand sufficient spat* in the same columns for a reply. I was the sufferer from editorial unfairness du ring the 1: te campaign, but the excuse of partisan ptlicy will not suffice in this case. As you became a party to the attack, your gent einanly honor will not refuse a defense. I had already written a let ter to the Chronicle and Constitutionalist, which 1 expected them to published, and it reached me to-day. A. W. Reese, act ing under the direction of Senator Gor don (who made the firet move in the at tack), charges boldly' that I “plead in piteously, pathetic terms for radical mon ey” to help my husband’s election last fall. This I firmly deny, and I have full, sufficient proof. I never asked for one dollar of radical money or any other mon ey. No pecuniary aid in any' shape or form was asked for. The falsehood stands revealed; the evidence is complete. Dr. Fel; on applied to Senator Ferry for my letter, which was handed to me to day at the breakfast table, in the pres ence of II m, W. E. Smith, Hon. M. A. Candler aid ex-Senator Norwood. My husband asked me to read it aloud, which I did. YDu can refer to them if you de sire to do so. Mr. Ilubbell did not de liver it to me until an exact copy was made, so : hat there should be no cry of fraud. At my r request, Mr. Stephens e>- amined it critically, line for line, and he says: “There is not one word to sustain the malicious allegation; not one w ord to contradict the letter in the Chronicle and Constitutionalist ,” which communica tion was written before Senator Ferry re turned nalftetter. So ends the first chap ter in tlii^Riposure. A. W. Reese charges that my husband sent a messenger to Mr. Gorham “to in duce him to deny its existence—to give it up or destroy it.” This is as false as the other story. Dr. Felton did not sup pose Mr. Gorham had it in the first place. I w r as par icularly anxious for its preser vation. and was determined to have it if possible. If you desire it, I can send y r ou a copy of Mr. Gorham’s certificate, in which he states no money was sent to my husband or his friends—no money was offered, nor did any republican, individually nor as an organization, ever furnish one dollar, at any’ time or to anybody, to assist the election of an independent candidate in the seventh district. I am inclined to think Mr. Reese has made a mistake, thus attacking General Toombs, Mr. Stephens, Dr. Felton, and myself in the same article. We were found in very good company, and he will not be understood by the readers of these papers in Georgia, the motives being plain to all. His last editorial has the following par agraph: ‘‘You can’t always, sometimes, most generally tell what is and is not bosh in Washington. There are more liars to the square inch here than in any other por ion of the habitable globe, and the number, variety and picturesque quality of their manufactures are calcu lated, I should say, to make Satan turn green with envy.” Georgia, having furnished some states men of various professions, she has also furnished one magnificent blatherskite. Not to be left behind, she has furnished, also, one of the above class whose manu factures makes the change in Satan’s complexion. Whether the falsehoods perpetrated on Messrs. Toombs and Ste phens, ii eluding Dr. Felton and myself, are of the “picturesque” character, or whether they' belong to Mr. Reese’s standard variety, 1 must leave yrou to de cide. Very respectfully, Mrs. W. 11. Felton. NEW POSTAL REGULATIONS. The amendment which the senate at tached to the post office appropriation bill, is a very important one, and has been advocated for several years. It pro vides, first, for the readjustment of the plan by w hich railroads are paid for trans porting mails, so that each company shall be paid according to lineal feet of car space occupied by mails, and average rate of speed maintained by mail trains. The faster mail is carried the greater compensation, and vice versa. The bill also provides for the re-classification ot mail matter into four classes, as follows: First, written matter; second, periodical publications; third, miscellaneous print ed matter; fourth, merchandise. Rates of postage to be as follows: First-class —Three cents per half-ounce or fraction thereof. Second-class—Two cents per pound, upon certain conditions—first, the peri odical mi st be issued regularly from a known office of publication; must con tain information of a public character re lating to current events, and have a le gitimate number of paying subscribers. The third class must pay postage at the rate of one cent for two ounces, or frac tion thereof, and the fourth class at the rate of one cent for one ounce, or frac tion thereof. The bill also provides that the postmas ter-generil may adopt, at his discretion, a double postal card, so arranged that it may be forwarded and returned at a post age of two cents. Dean Stanley has written a note to a friend in this country in regard to the proposed monument to Andre on the spot where he was executed and buried. “It is desirable,” says the dean, “that the inscription should contain neither an attack nor a defense of Andre, but only an expression of sympathy with him in his tragical fate, and with Washington for the difficult circumstances in which the judges were placed. A wreath of autumn leaves from the Hudson I had placed on the monument in the abbey at tracts universal admiration.” The proposition for an international exhibition in New York in 1889 seems to be tak ng shape. At a meeting ot the executive committee, held in that city Monday evening, a resolution was adopt ed providing for a sub-committee to take the matter of a site into consideration, to make inquiries and report, with such recommendations as they may think pro per. This committee is composed of Jackson Schultz, Orestes S. Cleveland, R. M. Hoe, S. M. Vance and Charles L. Tiffany—all men of intelligence and en terprise. Extract from the journal of travel of a young A nerican lady (according to the Paris FU aro): “The captain then became violently in love with me, but 1 would not listen to him. He came and knocked at the door of my cabin on the eve of our land. ‘Madam,’ said he to me, ‘my courage s exhausted. I have placed ten barrels of powder so as to blow up the ship. It you continue cruel, we’ll per ish togetier” Well—that night I saved the lives of three hundred people.” Col. John C. Burch, of the Nashville American, is a candidate for secretary of the United States senate. Col.
