THE AReWS. n.J.|4HnO> A J.U. ncDONALD, F4llri and I'nhlMim. f-Mtered at the Poxfotfce aI * Jackson as tkcond clans mail mutter. PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY. I ark son, fia., September 27* 1894. ONIli DOLLAR TER ANNUM. 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. —W. H.W. 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 Oct. 3. 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?” Consult Miss Anna Snell dressmaker, and Mr. Rufe Brown an experienced dress goods man at The Carmichael Cos. when you want a dress and to know’ how to make it look stylish.

Now York 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.

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.

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. TAX NOTICE, Ist ROUND.

The body or ganized Saturday by electing Dr. I. G. Woolsev, moderator, and brother J. J. Kimsey, clerk. Brother A, (7. Smith preached the opeuing sermon, and Bro. TANARUS, IP. O’Kelley, the mission sermon Sun day morning to a congregation estimated from three to five thousand. But little business was transacted until d/onday. A busy and interesting day it was to the mes sengers. Besides the regular work, a most impor tant movement was nut on foot for the ad vancement of education* The brethren and citizens of Locust Grove tendered the association a gift of two thousand dollars aud a building site for an Association High /School on the conditions that the Association make a strong effort to raise $2,000 more, to be used iu erecting a four thousand dollar building.

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. Mr. Fred d/iller, of Irving, 111. writes that he had a severe Kidney trouble for many years, with severe pain in his back and also that his bladder was affected.
