Floyd county has seventy-five miles o! macadamized roads, made by county convict labor. The increase of $600,000,000 in the wool business under the new tariff is a staggerer for McKinley. A dispatch from Shanghai says that the sixteen persons sentenced for participation in the massacre of missionaries at Kucheng have been executed. The Populists say that if loin Watson beats Black for congress he will he their candidate for governor next year. And if he don’t—and he won’t—he will be a dead cock in the pit. Owing to a decrease in attendance and n waning of interest several bi inetalic leagues recently organized in this stale have been dissolved. Why is it, a dub has never been organized in this county? The Populists are still claiming the tree and unlimited coinage ot silver at a ratio of 16 to 1 as a populist idea, and yet some Democrats per¬ sist in their efforts to saddle it upon the democratic party. Let the Pops have it. Why all this newspaper discussion about the positions of Hon. O. B. Stephens and Hon. R. Hobbs? Some of the silveroons are making as much fuss trying to keep these ggpMemen on the side ot cheap money as if the final settlement of the money qties lion depended alone upon that. 1 That Spalding county tanner who said "You can’t raise a sound gov¬ ernment on unsound money any more than you can fatten a horse on mouldy corn” is a philosopher. Such men are more entitled to make laws than all the experimenters of the legal profession.—Macon Tele¬ graph. Dr. Felton threatens to enter suit against Solicitor General Fite, ofCar tersvillc tor for $r 00,000 damages for alleged slander of himself and wife. A jury should be unusually cautious about giving damages for slander to the doctor. It might encourage gation of this kind to such an extent as to seriously overburden the courts with such cases. The attorneys of Sidney Lascel les, “My Lord Beresford," have been notified that he has been sued for divorce by his wife in New York, who wants her maiden name restored to her. This means the practical pauperization to Beresford, as Mis. Beresford, nee Maud Lilien tlial, fell heiress to an estate estimat * d at from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000. —g 1 he horseless wagon has made its appearance in America. One was brought from Paris and put on trial in New York the other day. The inventor claims that the wagon’s run ning expenses daily is less than that required in keeping a horse. The test made iu Washington Park was conducted by an operator who came over with the wagon from Paris. The engine is concealed in a square wooden box in the rear, and it is said to be almost noiseless. It is a petro¬ leum air engine that provides the motive power and its maximum speed is sixteen kilometers an hour. A crank in trout guides the vehicle with ber and the wagon is light, staunch •nd trim. A fearful wreck happened to an East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor¬ gia train last Friday, in which sixty persons were injured and Mrs. C. W. Hancock, of Americus, and Messrs. A. J. Kendall and R. H. Herrington, lost their lives. The train was carry ing several hundred excursionists— Knights of Pythias and their friends Macon to Indian Springs, where a hall was to be given and other recreation sought. There was a holiness convention in progress there at the time, and the holiness people becoming indignant because of the proposed dance, prayed that God would use his power to prevent such interference with their meeting. Some of them claim that the accident was in answer to their prayer and praised Hod for it If such fanati¬ cism as that constitutes the so-called holiness, we don’t wonder that there are so few professors of the laith. A fire broke out in Blakely about 3 o'clock last Wednesday morning which destroyed all the stores on the north side of the public square be¬ tween Cuthbert and Fort Gaines streets. The fire originated in Deal’s barroom, and had gained such head¬ way that it could not be controlled until it had reached a street on either side. The losses are estimated as follows: R. C. Smith, three stores and stock, $ii, 000; Ivey & Perry¬ man lost $500 on stock; James Butler, storehouse, $1,000; B Chancy, store¬ house, $1,200; Thomas IFilliams, clothing and tools, $300; C. M. Deal, bar fixtures and stock, 3,000, insur¬ ance 1,000. There was no other in¬ surance except that held by Deal. Even the rrce silver organs ac¬ knowledge that “notwithstanding the slump in property values, under the measure of the golden yardstick, Georgia is rapidly advancing in an industrial way.” It seems to us that if the latter condition can exist nnder a single gold standard, the cause of the former condition is incorrectly stated. There is a city in Scotland all the streets of which are said to be paved and are kept perfectly clean, and all the alleys are swept and sprinkled once a day. It is one city the dust of which no man ever shakes from his feet. An American going there would no doubt be required to brush back of his breeches before sit down. from 4|iiafllolmiiiu’K Mill, September!—sweetest month in the year— When few flowers wave and nod; I love it dearly, for it brings to me My favorite, the golden rod. Of all the flowers that bloom and fade On the hillside and on the lea, The beautiful, peerless golden rod Is the flower that blooms for me. Hon. W. J.

We guess from the racket we heard the other ni « ht and ^ broken frag n,ents of chairs and lr ying pans and the odor of the fire and brimstone, that the King of Hades was whipping j his wife, A dog, supposed to be mad, was 1 at the mill a few days ago.

Miss Anna Collins returned Sunday from a visit to the Misses Sheffield, in Arlington. We aie glad to note that Mr. II. II. Hart, who has been very sick, is able to be up again. We wonder why Mr. W. C. Wiggins looked so sad last Sunday. We think we know the cause. Mr. W. P. Killingsworth attended the commissioners’ court last Monday, of which he is a member. The rainfall has been very heavy for the past week or two. It has been damaging to the open cotton. Little Willie Collins, who has been visiting Iter cousin, little Claude Col¬ lins. in Arlington, returned home last Friday. We are sorry to learn that Mr. Char¬ lie Bridges, who lives near Blakely, is very sick at the residence of his fa¬ ther at this place. Mrs. Katherine Sheffield, who has been visiting friends and relatives here, returned to her home in Arling¬ ton last Sunday. She was accompanied by Mr. P. II. and Misses Mamie and Pul i Singleton. Mrs. J. P. Creel, after an illness of a few days, died September 2. She leaves a husband and one small child and a host of relatives and friends to mourn her death, to whom we extend our deepest sympathy.

TO OCR FRIENDS AND OCKTO.TIKKS We Dive u Few Fact* Upon Which You Hay Rely. Yon can buy goods of us as cheap or cheaper thau you can get anywhere else. You can get as good or better prices We tor cotton than at any other point. above don’t propose to boom the price its actual value at the opening order nor any other time of the season in to ex¬ cite patronage this way, but. full value will lie given at all times, our advantag' es being second to none in all depart¬ ments of our business. To those who owe ns for accommoda¬ tions extended this year, or anionuts carried over from last we shall expect prompt payments from first cotton. We hardly think we have a customer, after the experience of the last few years, silly enough to think we can wait the the conve¬ fool nience of their leisure or upon ish idea of holding cotton for a higher price. We would judge a mau that would do such a thing in the face of the pressure and strain under which we car¬ ried them this year, trying to beat us off and place their own misfortunes upon our shoulders. With such treatment we w ill proceed at once, with the best means we have at law’, to collect. The market is experiencing now, in the advance price over last year, the ef¬ fected the poor crop in prospect, and is perhaps higher than it will be when the receipts begin to run above the present estimate as indicated by the reports. With many thanks for past favors and hoping for a continuation of same, we are, very truly, Risft.
