Jackson is the best c jt'on mar
ket in this country. Farmers
get more on an average for
their cotton than at anyother town
in this country. The merchants
here Beil goods cheaper than any
other merchants and anything you
want is tor sale in Jackson cheaper
than tne same kind of goods at
any other place. The truth is when
you get a little more for vourcotton
and get your goods tor a little Jess,
the common sense ot it all is this :
it pays and pays like anything to
come to Jackson.
A FAREWELL GOOD BYE.
The flight’s most o’er it’s plain to sho>v
The fainting party’s end is nigh,
The democrats prepared the blow
Then hopelessly the pops must die.
And when it’s dead we’ll make a shroud
We’ll make a coffin too of bark
We’ll take it to the dismal swamp
Where nights and days alike are dark.
In this deserted haunted place
Beneath the swinging bows that wave
We’ll sing a song and then say grace
And consign them to a nameless graye.
The rains may beat the winds may blow
The nights be long and cold and dark
But pops we’ll leave you here you know
Where owls will cry and foxes bark.
It’s true your stay with us was short
But death’s your doom and you must
die
We’ll not mourn or grieve your loss
But bid a last farewell goodbye.

LYNCHED-
The people of Valdosta had them a
lynching bee Monday night, and the
mayor of the town wired the English
committee now in New York to come
down at once and see how the job was
done.
The negro lynched was Dave Goosby
who outraged Susan Butler ,a 12 year
old girl, in Thomas county on Sunday
night and afterwards cut her throat.
The crime was the most fiendish in the
criminal history ot South Georgia. If
everacrime warra'nttd a lynching the
people of Valdosta, or whoever did the
job, are little to bo blamed for t iking
the law into theii own hands in a case
like this.
The particulars as secured by wire
from Valdosta are as follows :
The uegro Goosoy was brought to
Valdosto yesterday via Lake City and
placed in jail. About 2 o’clock this
morning an unknown mob went to
thejail, broke in and took him out.
They carried him out on the edge ot
town and swung him up about five
feet to a pine and fired about a hun
dred bullets into his body.
It is not known whether the mob
were people from Thomasville, or Val
dosta people. They brok; down three
doors of thejail to get in. There were
three other prisoners in the same cage
with Goosby. They say they were so
scared they did not know what to do,
and could have escaped it they had
wanted to. Only two men went
upstairs. Goosby hid iu his cell and
they brought him out to the two men.
Goosby made an open confession to
the mayor yesterday and also to two or
three others. The mayor wired the
New York World to inform the En
glish committee to come at once if they
wanted to see some of the business
they are looking after and to see ifthe
job was done to suit them.
There were a good many people on
the streets last night, but they decided
to go home so the members of the mob
are unknown.—Macon Evening News

BESSIE'S FAITH.
Little Bessie’s papa
Is an advertising man
Who talks his business everywhere,
Everywhere he can.
Little Bessie heard him,
Heard him talking ads,
And became a loyal convert
To that theory of her dad’s.
And like her good papa,
Believed that any thing desired,
Could be had by advertising
When froperly inspired.
One day there came a babe,
To fill the house with joy,
A great big bouncing baby,
A ten-pound baby boy.
And when Bessie saw her brother,
As she tip-toed on the mat
And saw the babe she said, “Mamma,
Did you advertise for that?”

THE CONVICT LEASE.
3'hc new Constitution of Mississippi
forbids the leasing of the state’s con
victs after the present year.
The state is now making arrangements
to work its convicts under its own im
mediate direction and control.
The leases of Georgia’s convicts will
soon expire. What will Georgia do
then? The people of this state are un
alterably opposed to the lease system
and the Democratic party cannot afford
to renew the present leases or to make
others, . ~ . . ~
Yet this is a question which sliotucl
not be settled hastily and the time when
the future policy of the state concerning
it must be fixed is rapidly approaching.
It will he a great mistake if the legisla
ture at it’s next session does . not take
hold of the matter iu the practical way
and reach a proper solution of it. The
best brain and the highest patriotism in
that body will l>e required for this task.
The problem has many difficulties, but
the honor and the interest of the stole
demand that it shall be considered intel
ligently and fearlessly. The .Journal has
seyeral times suggested the establish
ment of a commission under whose di
rection and in accordance with some well
considered system the convicts shall be
employed on public improvements.
Georgia is sadly in need of better
roads. In no county within her limits
are the roads as good as they should be
and in some of the counties they are in a
deplorable condition.
Without good roads Georgia con nev
er reach the prosperity to which an in
telligent solution of the road problem
would largely conduce. Bad roads are
adraiuonthc resources of the people.
They are a tax upon every citizen and a
barrier to progress. The value of prop
erty in this state could be increased
many millions of dollars by systematic
and thorough road construction. By it
the productiveness of labor would be
vastly eularged, and the accumulation of
general w r ealtli greatly facilitated.
Seldom in the history of the state has
there been so near an opportunity for
legislation that will bring such large
benefits to the people. Georgia is al
ready attracting the attention of thous
ands of citizens of less favored states.
Her resources, her climate and the char
acter of her people make Georgia one of
the most desirable of all places for home
seekers, hut one of the beet things Geor
gia could do to draw immigration of a
high class would be to inaugurate a sys
tem of permanent road improvement,
and if she can use her convicts in connec
tion with the work she will solve two
great problems at once.—Atlanta Jour
nal.
KNIGHTS OF MACCABES.
The State Commander writes us from
Lincoln, Neb., as follows: After trying
other medicines for what seemed to be a
very obstinate congh in two of our chil
dren we tried Dr. King’s New Discovery
and at the end of two days the cough en
tirely left them. We will not be without
it hereafter, as our experience proves that
it cures where all other remedies fail.”

China has been in the habit ol
looking unon little Japan with
great contempt. But China has re
sisted tfforts toward civilization.
Japan has welcomed civilation and
Christianity, The war between Jap
an and China is a war between civ
Mization and barbarism. Corea has
been tne unhappy middle ground ot
the controversy’, China has actual
ly controlled this little hermit king
dom by the power of might. Tne
triumph of japan would mean the
opening up of the country and the
liberation ot the people from present
oppression. While preserving com
plete neutrality a- 1 a nation, the
moral support of the American peo
ple should be on the side of
and progress. Americans generally
will rejoice in the succrssion of
Japanese victories. The idea ot
some people that there should he no
congressional distinction between
the Japanese and Chinese is wrong.
The Japanese who come to this
country become teachers of rred
ern progress and generally of Chris
tianitv when they return, China
has resisted civilization and resis*
ted the efforts of her own viceroy Li
Hung Chang, the ablest and most
progressive man of the empire, to
elevate his countrymen. Little

THE INDUSTRIAL SOUTH.
The Manufacturers’ Record in its
review of railroad and industrial
matters in the South for the week j
Bays: “The August reports of
prominent railway systems of the
South show a gratifying gain on the
aggregate over the game month ol
1893, and as a group they made a
much better dis, lay than the trunk
lines, the norihwestern or western
groups. Ft r example, the earnings
of the Chesapeake and Ohio, Kan
sas City, Memphis and Birming
ham, Louisville and Nashville,
Memphis and Charleston, Mobile
and Ohio,’ Nashville, Chattanooga
and St. Louis. Norfolk and Western
and Southern, (Richmond and Dan
ville and East Te nnessee, Virginia
and Georgia.) reached $5.726487
last August, nearly $600,000 more
than in August 1893. Nine of the
northwest lines show an increase of
lesa than SIOO,OOO over August 1893,
while six trunk lines in the middle
and eastern states decreased over
$500,000, and a group of twenty
other lines in the middle and wes
tern states decreased $200,000 This
gain in southern earning is not due
to the cotton movement, for com
paratively little has been shipped
by rail as yet. It is principally
caused by the moderate increase in
business in the South.
“Among the new railroad enter
prises are electric railroads in Geor
gia, Kentucky, West Vijgin ; a, Ma>
ryland and Florida.' aggregating
nearly sixty miles, and a twenty
mile branch of the Gould System
in Texas.
“Throughout the entire South
there is a very decided ievi\ al in in
dustrial matters, and this is espee
ially noticable in the resumption ol
work at many concerns that have
been idle for months. There is al
so a decided increase in the organ
ization of important manufacturing
u and mining enterprises.

Georgia not onJy needs a brainy man
for United /States Senator, but one upon
all business affairs—just such a man as
Hon. a. O. Bacon. He is a
man of affairs and never has time for leis
urely idleness. His law practice is im
mense but he goes into court with his cases
so well prepared that each one seems to
have been an especial study. .4s counsel
for the stockholders of the Southwestern
railroad to reclaim that property and save
it to the stockholders, the amount of labor
performed has been marvelous. Major
Bacon’s success in business is due not only
to his brilliant and logical mind, but is due
also to his systematic method of work.—

HOW IT WILL END.
Scientists have cliff rent opirrons
as to how th’d world will emi, and
most of them are as foolish as can
be imagined. One says that the
surface of the earth is slowly but
surely diminishing, and that some
day the land portion will go into the
water, and that we shall all be
drowned. Another says that event
ually the earth*s center of gravity
will be changed, and that we wilh
he smashed to pieces in the derhris,
Anoth:r ? that the earth is being
drawn nearer to ihe sun every day.
and that whe.. it gets there, we will
be cremated alive. Another’ that
humanity will retrograde until it
reaches nothing. Another that we
will be driven over to the equator
and frozen to death. In the mean
time we have to hustle for a living
while we are here,
IT d/AY DO AS MUCH FOR YOU.
