Jackson, Ga., March 2.—(Special.)— The town council raised the tax on mer chants this year from $25 to 8125. At this the merchants kicked and the figure was cut down one-half. Some of the merchants still refuse to pay and the contest will probably go into the courts. On* councilman has resigned. Hon. T. J. Dempsey introduced a bill in the last legislature to abolish the county court and it passed. The grand jury recomended last week that the court be re-established. At once the charge was made that it was the work of what is known as the “county court ring.” A committee, composed of lion. T. J. Dempsey, J.’ R. McCord, Frank Z. Curry, R. W. Maya and B. F. Moon, via ited the governor on Tuesday to beg of him not to appoint a county court judge. Today he telegraphed that he would not appoint a judge until the legislature es tablished the court. —Atlanta Conatitu tion. Th only thing in the above special that strikes us in the pit of the stomach as a big chunk of news, is that the re commendation of the grand jury was the work of what is said to b the “county court ring.” When we heard that thoo who favored a county court had formed a ring and left us out with out even consulting us, ws were com pletely nonplused. We haye been look-, ing for the ring every since we heard the above statement, and have n >t been able to locate it up to date. We nsked some of the jury if they knew whieli way they rolled out of the room, but they seem to b* as much at sea as we. Any informa tion in regard to said ring will be gladly received at this office as news matter. WATfeON STAYS OUT. A special from Augusta says : Hon. Thomas E. Watson will not stand for congress in the next congressional electional, nor will he oiler for gover- HO Will UU offered the successoreliip of Senator Alfred H. Colquitt. This is the present program of the party aud is a result of a conference of the leaders just held m Augusta. This does not mean that there is to be no opposition to the democracy in that district. The People’s party will have up a candidate. It is not yet definitely settled who it will be, but it is the consensus of opinion that Dr. West, of McDuffice county, will be asked to make the race tor congress. There will be a People's party candi date, of course, lor governor, but he lias not yet been selected. Colonel Teek would be willing to make the race, but it may be that he will not be put up. The People’s party has come to the conclusion that it cannot hope to se cure success without the aid of widely circulated newspapers. The leaders hold that had they had the support of such inlluence they would now 7 be iu control of the state. It was develop ed at the meeting referred to that it is the desire of Mr. Watson to stav out of effice, even if he could win, aud devote himself to the upbuilding of his newspaper enterprise. He hopes to be able to start daily soon. He expects the necessary capital in a short time and it may not be long now be fore the paper is started. LIST OF JURORS.

Editors Argus:— l saw in your issue of Jauuary 25tli a notice of a drunken preacher, “who exibited himself in your city some time ago.” I learn also that lie was understood to be a “preacher of the Christian church,” and you will please permit me in your next issue to say that he was formerly a preacher of said church, but lias not been for more than two years. His license to preach, on account of similar conduct, was with drawn by the First church in Atlanta, and will not likely be soon restored to him. It is a misfortune to which all churches are liable at long intervals. Yours truly, Thomas Munnell, State Evangelist. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, the best cure foe sudden colds, should be in every household. THE SACRED CONCERT. There were twenty seven pieces on tlio programme, consisting of chorusses, du etts, quartetts, vocal and instrumental solos, recitations, songs and tableaus. Every piece was a success, and we would that we bad space to ment’on every per formance, but as all did so well and we cannot mention all, we forbear to men tion any. Suffice it to say, that it was a grand success financially, socially, and morally. The little girls in our. town are equal to tire emergency, when it comes to making a high-toned first class entertain ment, and if “Lips that touch liquor shall never touch mine,” there will be some miserable old bachelors in this county, or some gentlemen in the next decade. “There is tallent iu this town,” was the expression of a visitor from Grffiu, who was in the audience. Dr. Cantrell was master of ceremonies and seemed at home. All praise to the noble men aud women -uid children, who gave their time and talent to make this noble enterprise the success it was.

Recently complaints have come to us that children have been to the Institute in the morning and afternoon -and have found themselves locked out and had to go home. Now let’s understand this matter. In the morning the first bell rings at 8 o’clock. No pupil is allowed on the grounds before that time. Set your clocks with the bell and don't let your children leave home before the bell rings, unless you live at a considerable distance from school. No one within the incor porate limits of the town ought to leave home befroe the first bell. The second bell is rung at 8:30 o’clock aud all pupils are required to be at school oi me second bell the teachers and pupils assemble from tlieir rooms in the chapel for chapel exercises. The doors are locked till that exercise, which lasts one period, is over. Pupils who are tardy and come during that period are “required to wait” at the door until that exercise is over. To go back home is a gross violation of the laws of the Insti tute, as has been explained to the pupils several times. At the close of the pe riod—a period is thirty minutes—the doors are opened, the tardy pupils ad mitted, and all pupils reassemble in their respective rooms for recitations, etc. The doors are almost always closed, but never fastened after the first period, so that a pupil can get in and he is required to come in at any time of the day lie may come to the Institute, except, of course, the first period as already stated. Those pupils who have gone home and aid they were sent away because they came late have manufactured a false hood to suit the occasion, and instead of their parents abusing us for sending them home—a thing we never did—they should use some of their energy in correcting the faults of their children. Parents, we hope you will co-operate with us in having your children to be punctual in attendance. No pupils have ever been sent away, as they claim to have been, none have ever been locked out except during the period already named nor will they ever be—unless it is found necessary to do so, and iu that case, we pledge our word to have announcements of the fact printed aud sent to each patron of the school. Until the announcement is sent you, please do not make any such unjust complaints. Jas. C. Blasingame, Pres.

If there is a profession that should, more than auy other, be composed of men with good moral characters it is that of law. All lawyers should be gen tlemen, and the bar should see to it that men who care nothing for justice, and use their knowledge to defeat the very ends for which law was made, could not in the future get au endorsement by the bar. Don’t take internal remedies for Female Diseases. Common sense re quires a direct application like “Or ange Blossom.” NOTICE, lam prepared to do all kinds of garden work.

COTTON NOT SOLD. Notwithstanding there has been, through the winter, and still is, a general cry of great scarcity of money among all clashes, yet there is now re maining iu Hie warehousesiw this city a considerable quantity of cotton be longing to the farmers of this county. This U a pretty..good evidence that there are a good mauy farmer* in the county who are not specially strained financially. This cot too will be some help to the owners in bearing the farm burdens of this year. Ibe be*t feature, however, connected with it is, that it is a pointer to the fact that the farmers are gradually approaching a point where they can have more thor ough control of their cotton after it is produced than they have had in years past.

Parents who neglect their children’s teeth make a serious mistake, and will bring misery and ugliness to them in the fu ure. Harp sells fresh meats of all kinds. An exchange says the fellow who couldn’t spare a dollar for his home pa per a year, sent fifty 2-cent stamps to the city to find out how to “raise beets,”and received a postal card in reply “take hold of the top and puil.’ The fellow is a near relative of the man who sent $1 to find out “how to make money,” and received a card in reply telling him to “get a job in the mint.” Ha is also a relative of the rnan who sent $1 to kuow “how to make one thousand dollars a year without work,” and received a reply to “put SIO,OOO out on interest at ten per cent.” Another of his relatives sent $1 to rind out “how to w rite without pen or ink,” and the reply was to “write with a pencil.” The cheap literature of the North is full of j ust such fake advertisements, for the nefarious purpose of catching the unsophisticated. Farmers, don’t neglect your teeth, because you haven’t got the money to pay for having them fixed. I will fix them and wait until fall for the money. 0 H. Cantrell. Do you like nice, tender beef?
