Senator Iloar, to whose horrible pro fanity we recently referred, is suffering the retribution which some times visits the wicked before they get iuto the claws of the devil. He has a perpetual nightmare and the fiend who torments him is the dead Con federate brigadier. Ia his speech to the Middlesex Club last Saturday night, this wicked and wretched old man screamed out: “What we have got to do is to get the grip of these south ern brigadier gem rals off the throats of the industries of New England.” The southern brigadier4s easily recog nized in Congress. He stalks into the senate and house with a pair of pistols in his belt and a bowie knife in each hand. He chews fragments of glass just before he enters and the blood which trickles from the corners of his mouth adds im mensely to the ferocity of his aspect. Be fore he has been in the capitol ten miu utes he shoots down live or six Yankees and stabs t?n or twelve more. In his milder moments he chokes the life out of several New England industries. He is a holy terror at all times. He fights duels on Pennslyvania avenue every day aud burns up whole bales of United States flags after he has tiampled and spit upon them. The government is utterly power lt>s. The southern biigadier is on top and is raising the very devil. Still there is no hope of relief and we do not wonder t hat Senator Hoar has the jim jams —Atlanta Journal. Old man Hoar should come to Georgia and look out some midnight and seethe legions of brigadiers flying through the air with their tiro brands screaming like thunder in a cyclone Manasses!

Much attention has been attracted by the great offer of the Southern Pacific Company of New Orleans. They are making a free distribution of books to advertise their wonderful new train now running from New Orleans to the Pacific coast, and which is said to be the finest, fastest and most luxuriously appointed train ever constructed. The train con sists of a composite car, in which is em braced a barber shop, hath room, library, cafe and smoking parlor, a dining car, in which meals are seryed at all h< urs, day or night, passengers paying only for what they order; also a full complement of Pullman’s latest and most magnificent drawing-room sleeping cars. The speed of this railway wonder, covering the yast distance between New Orleans and Los Angeles in 60 hours, and to San Francisco in 77 hours, has never been attempted or equaled. Contrary to the usual practice of other great railway lines, no expense will be incurred other than the customary first-class ticket and sleeping-car fare for traveling on this superb train. “Now westward Sol has sent the rich est beams of noon’s high glory.” And much of civilized America is fol lowing rapidly in his train, seeking homes, wealth and health in California. The great Suuset Rome, Southern Pa cific, is now the favorite one to those ta miliar with the different lines of western travel; and its management, gratefully recognizing the ready appreciation which tlie traveling public has shown their excellent fast-train service, embracing through Pullman and tourist sleepii g car facilities in the past, aud which will be continued from Cincinnati, iJliicago and New Orleans, have determined to outdo the most splendid railway achieve ments, and to provide their patrons with a combination of luxury and comfort hitherto unequaled. To this end the magnificent train, “Sunset Limited,” taking its name from the solar luminarv, whose path acioss valley and plain and over hill and mountain it follows with the speed of the wind, has been put on between New Orleans, Los Angeles and S-n Francisco. Leaving both terminals every Thursday during the season of 1894-95, passing through the balmiest regions in all America, delightful even in January, this “fleeing city” covers gulf to coast in a trifle over two days. Every comfort of home is found in the luxurious vestibuled coaches—dining, sleeping and composite—w hich comprise “Sunset Lim ited,” and the scenery along this line is unsurpassed.

A man who is not a thinker is nothing, and therefore we call attention of such, irrespective of party, color or previous condition of servitude, to an article on another page headed “County Cotton Mills.” Read it aud see if it is not better than throwing away our savings. Other sections have tried the plan aud succeed ed, why not we? Our merchants will be glad no doubt to help build in this way, fora factory of this kind would double the value of real estate in our town. If you, readers, are thinking men and think well of the plan com** out and say so, it doesn’t matter if no other man thinks much of the plan and you do, say so. Eyery reform, yes the biggest wars that ever shook the earth with their tremen dous battles, actually originated in some man’s heart when he was sitting alone w<th his family and all the world was dreaming. Thinkers, we want you to think! THE ELECTION. Everything worked smoothly in the election here last Tuesday. Judge Bart lett’s majority was 126. There was a small v >te polled and both parties seemed to think the matter was a foregone con clusion. The Democrats were confident and the Populists disheartened to begin with. Some of the Populists were a little mad becau.-e they had no manager on in Jacksou, and rne of them used some ugly language which is too indecent to mar the columns of this paper. We predict that the third party will never amount to anything in this section, their best men claiming to be Democrats and they will soon take up the name again. At Atlanta Friday the Sigma Nu Fra ternity met and organized a state asso ciation. We noti e Buits county men were honored with three of the most important positions in it.

Mr. Editors: —Well, everything would be quiet with us now, were it not, for a droyes of tramps which fall in with us every few days. We give these poor fel lows a lift and bid them God spetd. I can sympathize with these fellows, as I liaye been a tramp myself. Mr. Bob Woodruff has moved hack to Rockdale after spending a year with us.
