FORT GAINES,- GA., FRIDAY, MARCH 22nd, 1889.
Bill Arp Says Earrison Being Presi¬
dent Will Not Affect Matters in the
Least, Except to the Officeholders.
What a glorious country it
wluil a government, what a people
How easy we can change our
ers and have no revolution, no
shock, no friction. How smoothly
the wheels roll on. There is no
difference between tliis month and
last month no nanic holders no apnrehen- a^
sion. Theoffice sad of
course, and wo arc sorry for them,
but they need rest and time for
meditation. They can now read
ponder those beautiful p)ems,
“Man was made to mourn, and
Gray’s elegy, and “1 would not live
always—I a.-k not to stay," and
! those 7 ) oolhine: nassatres of sc Dl
ure, “I *— ow are the mighty fa! u,"
‘Man that is born ol a woman is
hut a few days and lull of trouble,"
“Betti r is a handful with quietness
^ lan handsfull with trivalnnd
vexation than of spirit,” “Borrow is bet
ter laughter; for by saduciS is
the heart made better.'’
! But tho government will roll on,
»»•:« -»•»«.a.ur, B.nd«u »>• >,o
I Iiandull, Mills or no Mills, negro
or no negro, and the people will
hardly know tho difference. All
that General Harrison has got to do
is to be gin where Mr. Cleveland
left off and run it on that honest,
patriotic line. What tho 'people
want is honesty in the public. A
common man who is honest is bet¬
ter than a smart rascal.
Wo believe that Genera! Harri¬
son is a good, pure man, a gentle¬
man and a patriot. Of course he
is liable to make mistakes, but we
will tolerate them. He has made a
mistake a ready in tho selection of
his cabinet. It is the natural mis¬
take of a politician who thinks the
rewarding of political friends is a
bigger thing than tho public ser¬
vice.
Cabinet officces should have a
special, peculiar fitness for their
departments. The farmers of this
great nation l ave for years deman
ded a place in the cabinet, and they
wanted a practical agriculturalist
with large experience and broad
views—a man like John M. Stahl
or Luther Tucker or Norman Col
man. But such men were not pol
iticians and couldn't come in. They
.say that Governor Rusk did plow a
few furrows in 1853, but ever since
then he has been in politics. I ll
bet he don’t know a cotton plant
clieat from a jimpson weed, nor where
comes from, nor how to
measure a load of corn in the
shuck.
Then comes Governor Proctor,
secretary of war, who knows noth
ing about war nor West Point, ex
eopt from hearsay, and his chief
qualification is‘hat he headed the
Vermont delegation and voted for
Harrison first, last arid all the
time.
General Noble, the secretary of
the interior, is a good lawyer, from
St. Louis, and all we know about
h : m from the press dispatches is
that his wife’s sister wrote a book
called Bcthsada.
* General Tracy, the secretary of
the navy, is another smart lawyer,
but ktic.vs nothing about the navy,
except that he chews navy tobacco
and wears a navy blue undershirt
in winter.
Miller is a good man for bis place
and so is Wannamaker. They are
not politicians. If wc poVer have no vup
turc with a foreign I think
wc will get along, but take it all in
all the cabinet is weak in
business capacity. Of course Mr.
Blaine can run his department, for
that requires statesmanship, and
he is a statesman. But the other
departments require first-class bus¬
iness men—men who have succeed¬
ed in business affairs.
But how few politicians ever
succeed in business. Daniel Web¬
ster and Clay were utter failures as
business nun. Our most noted
Southern statesmen were business
failures. So are Colquitt and Gor¬
don up to date, though they may
strike another rich vein some ol
these days. I hope they will. Joe
Brown is an exception to all rules.
He can think large and think small
simultaneously. Ho will make a
great tariff speech in the Senate
and as he sits down at the close
will see a stray shirt button and
pick it up. A man told me that
one time old Joe wanted to find out
how much it would cost him to
Laul his iron ore by wagon from
•>» i ° ‘>>« s« u
mado his sccietary put down the
cost of a wagon, and how long it
would last; the cost of harness, and
cost ^ *?»<* 1 ie "«r, ,nu ‘ cS *««'•» ant ^ how long
they would do service and how
much they * would eat, and how
mDC ... “ lhe v could , . , haul at a , load, ,

v many k als a day, and
the wages of the driver, and the
a.ceins of the mule?; »nd lho wag
on whip, andI Um canYOomb, and
after it was all added, he studied a
whilo snd sa id : -.Now put down
tcn cen s a axle grease,”
an< ^ »-^ cr a little more thinking he
“put down five per cent for
wear and tear and time lost in stall
! at Dr. Felton s hill.”
General Uavrison had put old
J°° at l ifa ^ oQhe post office
he would have run it
^ or ®botit half what it now costs,
tl»o wheels will run on—no
t ody ts scared.—Constitution.
Divorces the World Over.
In Australia divorces have never
been sanctioned.
Divorces are scarcely ever
known to occur in Modern Greece.
In Hindoos! an either parly, torn
alight cause may leave tho other
and marry.
Divorces are scared)’allowed in
Thibet, unless with the consent of
both parties. Re-marriage is
bidden.
l n Cochin, China, the parlies do
siring divorce break a pair of chop
-Ticks in the presence of witnesses
and the thing is done.
Among some tribes of Ametican
Indians the pieces of sticks given
iho witnesses of the inarriago are
broken as a sign of divorce.
Two kinds of divorces are grant
ed it Circassia. -By the first the
parties can immediately marry
apain; by the seoud, not for a
ycar.
If the wife of a Turkoman nsk6
his permission to go out and he
says “go’ without adding “come
back again,” the) are divorced.
Jo Liberia if a man is dissatified
with the most trifling acts of his
wife he tears a cap or veil from hor
face, and that constitutes a dL
vorce.
Among the Moors, if the wife
does not become the mother of a
boy, she may be divorced with the
consent efthe tribo and can marry
again.
In the artic regions a man who
want a divorce leaves homo in an¬
ger and docs not return for several
days. Tho wife takes tho hint and
departs.
In Cnina divorces are allowed
in all cases of criminality, mutual
dislike, jealousy, incompatibilly of
temperament, the or of too the much loquaci
ty on part wife.

Georgia Gold.
Dalton, Ga., March 3.—Thero is
considerable activity in gold min¬
ing in this state at prosent. Chas.
F. Burr, of Dublonoga, who has
beon in tho mining business all his
life, says:
“Tho largest gold mining in
Georgia is the Hand & Barlow Min
ing Company of Dahlonega. They
operate nine stamp mills and own
3 000 acres of land. There are for
ty or Dahlonega. more gold mining companies
at They all use tho
fashioned ‘up-and-down stamp mill,’ tho old
method, in preference to
any of the improved machinery,
AH of the companies aro making
money.”
“Have thej*e been any rich finds
>n Georgia?”
“Oh, yes; quite a numbor at Dah
lonega. From the JFindly mine,
which wa9»worked before and since
the war, there lias beon over $2,
000,000 taken out. In following a
lead this company struck a rich
pocket of black sand and took out
a great quantity of gold. The
pocket was in a black slate lead
and particles of gold could be seen
glistening all through it. The wa
ter came in so badly that the own
ers wero forced to abandon the
mine before they got out all the
gold
“At the Battle Branch one pock
ct yielded $72,000. The biggest
clean up I ever saw in Georgia was
cigbty-three pounds of gold taken
up after the stamp mill had had
been in operation continuously for
a month. A pound of gold is
woith $240.
“What was the largest nuggot
found valued at?”
“If I remember correctly’ it
weighed seventy-two pennyweights
and was worth about $70. Last
summer two prospectors, Ed Bull
and Scupin, went out to an old
mine and picked out the rick look*
ing rocks and pounded them into
a $240.” mortar. They got out in one day
This same lead of gold-bearing
quartz extends across the state,
through bama. Paulding county, into Ala>*
A few miles across the lint
in that state, in Cleburne and Ran¬
dolph counties, are some rich gold
mines These have not been so
far developed as the Georgia mines
but several mills are erecting and
will bo running in thirty days.
The United States established a
mint at Dahlonega before the war.
A large amount of gold was coined
there. Tho $5 gold pieces made in
Georgia aro frequently found in
circulatior. They arc distinguished
from tho other gold pieces by tho
letter D under tho eagle.—N. Y.
Sun.

While the friends and relatives
of Mi. Thom a* Reynolds, of the
oa Standard theater were »“viuuru assembled
yesterday , afternoon at his home,
329 East Eighteenth street, awa»t
ing the beginning hi/Vife. of the funeral
services over his 4 venr

turned answer and coining to her, she
said to live listeners :
“My mamma is very sleepy, and
I know she’s sorry not to see you
all; but I’ll tell her.”
Then wondering that they too
made no answer, and alarmed by
the tears she saw on every

I Women who Want Divorces,
; “It is nonsense to talk as if law*
3 cn * had any sympathy with lax
divorce laws,* remarked a Pitts
| burg attorney. “1 don’t believe
that a man of any standing in tho
profession anywhere, even in Chi'.
cago, likes to take up a divorce
caso. It s a disagreeable business
at best, and respcctablo lawyers
to dissuade their clients from
divorce proceedings except as a
dernier resort.
“It’s queer, though, what ideas
people have on the subject. A
woman, in a fit of pique against hor
husband, which will probably last
but a few days at best, comes to me
"and asks me if she can procure a
divorce. When I have questioned
her and analyzed her complaints I
frequently find them of the most
trivial character. In such a case I
usually give a liberal amount of
advice, but quite a different char
acler from what the applicant ex
peels. Nine timos out of ten the
woman takes the same viow of the
matter as I do, alter I have argued
with her, and promises to go back
to her husband, at the same time
requesting mo never to mention
the fact that she had talked about
getting a divoicc. Why, thero is
one woman I Could name who has
been hero seven or eight times re
solvod on getting a divorco. She
is still living with her husband—I
happened to beiievo know both of thorn
wcll—and I their married
life is on the whole about as pious
anl ns that of most people."
“Is uniformity of divorco laws
desirable?"
“Certainly it is—a good law,
which should be tho samo in its ap¬
plication in every state, would bo a
blessing to tho country. It may
come in time, but not soon, I fear."
—Pittsburg Dispatch.

A Spicy Decision.
Justice B : anford, of the Sr.prome
dour*, rendered the following de
c’sion in a caso tried before a jus
t ; ce of the peace, in Pike county.
The justice ot the peace had charg¬
ed the jury in favor of the defend¬
ant, when the evidence was over¬
whelmingly in favor of the plain¬
tiff.
This is Justice Blandtord’s de¬
cision :
Tho ease was tried in p justice
cour* lion. on R. appeal Higgins, before a jury, the
G. justice of the
ponce, presiding. Ilis honor charg¬
ed tho jury as follows: “Gentlemen
th ; s is a case which has beon tried
hy me before, and I decided in fa¬
vor of the defendant. I further
charge you, gentlemen, that if you
find any settlement has been made,
you find for de find ant. Retire
and make up your verdict.”
Tho law docs not require a jus¬
tice of the peace to charge the jury
at all. Ilia ignorance of the law,
as woll as propriety, would seem
to demand that tie should not, but
il he undertakes to instruct the juvy
he must do it correctly, and in ac
cordance with law. A justice of
lho peace is generally a man of
consequence in his neighborhood;
ho writes the wills draws the deeds
and puIJs tho teeth of tho people;
also, he performs divers surgical
operations on the animals of his
ne ; ghbors. The Justice has plaj r ed
hi3 part on the busy stage of life
from tho lime of of Mr. Justice
Shallow down to the timo of Jus¬
tice Higgcns. Who has not seen
tho gaping, listening crowd assem¬
bled around Ills Honor, tho Jus
t ’co, on tiptoe to catch the words
of wisdom as they fell from his
venerated lips ?
“And stilled they gazed, »
And still the w onder grew,
That one small head
Could carry all he knew.”
—Atlanta Constitution.
A Thomasville Hotel Burned.
The Thomasville, ga., March 13
Gulf house, the well-known
railroad eating house at this place,
was entirely consumed by fire to¬
night at 9:30 o'clock. The house
was full of guests, most of whom
saved their effects, A portion of
the furniture was 6avcd. Tho build
ing was insured for 15,000 and the
fdrniture for $3,000. This, how¬
ever, lacks several thousand dol¬
lars of covoring the losses. It is
said that the Virginia house, oppo¬
site the depot, will be opened by
Fields & Phillipot, proprietors of
the Gulf hotel, to-morrow, so the
traveling public will not bo seri¬
ously inconverienoed.

Gold Miners in a Rage.
Chicago, March 13.—A special
from Los Angelos, Cal., to tho Dai
ly News, says : “Great excitement
existed in the Lower California
gold mining camps last night, and
thousands of desperato geld hunt¬
ers aro breathing vengeance against
tho international company of En¬
glish capitalists whose agents lay
claims to the mines and aro trying
to shut out Americans and othors.
Yestorday it bccamo known that
the company had sent to San Fran¬
cisco for 3,000 Chinamen to work
the mines. Last night tho Ameri¬
can anil Mexican miners hold a
mass meeting and determined not
to submit to the coming of tho coo¬
lies. They also framed a petition
to protection. tho American Tho congress asking
situation looks
threatening, and a battle between
tho independent company’s miners and tho En¬
glish men is locked for
every moment. Blood will cer¬
tainly bo shed if tho company in¬
sists on bringing coolies to tho
the camp.
The coming of soldiers into Low¬
er California to protect the miners
that have gone to tho new minos,
seems to have brought trouble.
Since the strike was made, Mexi¬
cans, Indians and Americans have
been working indiscriminately
without aid from the government.
With soldiery, camo Secrotary Co¬
la, representing tho government of
tho peninsula with instructions to
collect recording and denounce¬
ment fees from every working mine

iness. All placer works must pay
$250 to denounce a 20 meters square
claim, and after deciding to take
permanent additional possession of the fame,
to pay an $16.50. Com¬
plaints went up from Americans
and Mexicans alike. Tho miners

Fall Rirer, Mass., March 12—
The strike situation in this city is
not greatly changed, but appears
to favor Iho weavers. They are
firm, and only 1,000 out of 4,000
looms, arc running. A mass meet¬
ing of the striking weavers was
held on south park this morning,
and the most notable matters in the
addresses were as follows: Loom
fixers in some mills are being dis¬
charged for striking declining to take the
places of weavors,. Advice
was given to boycott the saloons,
and offers of football players’ ser¬
vices have beon made, as a means of
raising money. The crowd, though
large, was remarkably orderly, and
not a policeman show was in sight. The
manufacturers no chango of

About Mr. Walker.
Mr. Frank Walker did not tako
a part in the first wcok of the Wool
folk trial. Ho was too ill with
bronchitis to appear in court.
Seen yesterday morning, Mi%
Walker said: “I was not there
simply bo becauso 1 was not ablo to
in court last week, Further
than that my presence was not es¬
sentia!, as, being unacquainted with
the people of Bibb county, I could
not assist in making up the jury. I
filed an affidavit In regnad to my
illness and camo homo.
“How about a chango of venue f
“Well. 1 think thoro will bo a
chango of venue, and 1 hardly think
it will go to any other county in
that circuit. Of course that will
depend on what tho counsel dooicio
to do. If - they do nothing, why,
the court will designate tho place
of holding tho trial.
Why do you think it will bo car¬
ried beyond tho Macon circuit?
“For tho simplo reason that In nil
those counties near tho scene of the
crime, public sentimont is such that
it will be impossible to socure a ju¬
ry. Anothor reason is, that tho ju¬
ry lists are, comparatively speak¬
ing restricted in thoso couuties, and
that will make it harder to socure
a jury than it would bo in a larger
city.
“Will it come to Atlanta?
It is impossible to guess an ana
swer to that question. It is possi¬
ble that it may come horo, but thero
aro no indications to rondor it in
any way probable. If thoro is a
chango of vento it may bo brought
to Atlanta, and I think it is quite
probable that it will bo removed
from the Macon circuit entirely.
I am going down thero tonight and
will remain until tho matter is sot
tied.—Constitution, March 13*

The Latest About Riasing.
Mon have often remarked on the
fertility of woman’s mind. FliysU
ologists declare that she never reft*
sons, but as instinctive creaturesho
often roaches a correct conclusion
much quicker than a man. If they
like the intricate process of ratiov
cinatination, they have the happy
faculty of walking straightthrough
mental difficulties like a sonambu
list in sleep.
Tho fellows who discuss: “Is
Marriage a Failure,’, or Why I am
a Bachelor,” haro wondered lately
how Women roach their cuto noses
with a handkerchief since the ad¬
vent of tho now faDgled veil. It
covers tho groater part of the face,
and is ns ornamental, possibly, as
protective.
Two women veilod alike met yes¬
torday. It was evident that thoy
had not met in some timo, and they
rushed together in a longembraco.
The inevitable kiss oamo next.
Both essayed the attempt, but tho
veils rondered this impossible.
Quick as a flash ore of tho ladies
turned tho side of hor face to her
companion and the latter smacked
a spot on her cheek somewhere be¬
low tho ear. This was satisfactory
and then followed tho usual storm
of quick womanly ejaculations.
“is kissing on the lips no longer
fashionable?” queried a reporter
of a lady he met after this event.
“No, not since tho introduction
of tho new veil,” she answeiod
sweetly. You see, tho lips *ro com¬
pletely covered, and it haB becomo
tho fashion to press tho lips against,
tho cheek. * This thing of kissing
is a nuisance anyhow, and I wish
tho ladies would all stop it.—PilUi

This was done. The custom offi¬

of the elegant young lady, knowing
by experience that such are the
most daring of smugglers, but found
nothing. Tho chief officer, charm
