We regret to see our good friend Ayers drop the edito > rial pen, but wish the new editors much success. The tinted foliage on the trees is beauti ful, and poetical editors are using their last year’s editorials to tell how sad, how sweet, and how suggestive of death is au tumn, but the absence of spring chickens tells the talc with equal force. The Atlanta Constitution advises the people of the South to turn their attention away from politics, and towards the practical problem of development. Illcss you, the people have already given poli tics the bounce—it’s the loud-mouthed office-holders and seekers that won’t be be quiet. - ♦- m The Republicans have elected a Govern or and made other gains in Now York and have increased their majorities in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massa chusetts, Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Nebraska. Maryland and Mississippi went Democratic. Thus it is, and thus it will be in 1881. We aro to have another Republican President. The Democratic \party is too weak and vacillating to even deserve success. Jfew York Press on the Lute Elections. N. Y. World, dem. : Henceforth no in telligent person will mention Mr. 'l'ilden seriously as a possible candidate for the presidency. Neither will anybody men tion him as a possible candidate for the honors of his own state. His position in the politics of his own state is that of a marplot, who could neither succeed him self nor would allow men to succeed who had in themselves the elements of success, of which he had at least permitted himself to be deprived. Ho lashed bis own politi cal corpse as closely as he could to the living candidate of the democracy of New York, and if tho state has thereby lost the honest service of the one, it lias at lenst been thereby delivered of the incumbrance of tho other. N. Y. Herald, ind. : This is a good time for the democrats to consider whether it is wortli their while to go on making idiots of themselves. It is not much of a snow storm, but it is enough to snow them un der once more. The republican majorities are not large—it is well for the republican leaders to remember that fact. Their hold on the country is not secure by any means. A strong democratic candidate next year, on a sound and honest platform, would give them trouble, and might defeat them. They ought to see that their present sec tional attitude and policy are not satisfac tory to the people. In spite of their ut most efforts they have not decreased the number of doubtful states this year, and they still depend upon democratic follies to help them. N. Y. Tribune, rep. : A solid north sends greeting to a solid south. Yester day answers the last session of congress, and all the insolent disloyalty which after growing for years, found expression there. The grand and resistless uprising which followed the shot in Charleston harbor in 181S1 finds an echo in the returns of to-day. Once more the north is united. The work which men did with their bullets they have determined to spoil with their ballots. Best of all, the republicans have no occa sion now to nominate any other than their ablest ami worthiest man, for it is certain that with such a candidate they can tri umph. They do not need to get under the shelter of any name, nor to hesitate in the avowal of their convictions, nor shrink from giving its full reward to splendid ser vice. New York Express, Tam. dem. : Rob inson's defeat is Tilden's death-knell. It would be worse than madness for a party to take a candidate who not only cannot carry his own state in a fair and open elec tion in which his nomination was a distinct issue, but whose name divided and defeat ed the party. Without New York the •democrats cannot elect a president. Til den has been swept up on the dry sands by a tidal wave of popular disgust, and there he will stay to wither and shrivel into nothingness. A (treat Improvement in Cotton Ginning. Jfaltimore Sun. The history of machinery in connection ■with industrial pursuits and the revolutions lit has brought at different times is very in teresting reading. It was in 17112 that Eli Whitney, while studying law in Savannah, and residing with the widow of (den. Na thaniel Greene, at the Mulberry Grove plantation, observed the clumsy working of the primitive roller-gin of the period, by which no more than a pound of seed cot ton could be cleaned in a day. Whitney *et to work and invented the saw-gin, that famous machine which, while it brought much litigation aud little profit to the in ventor, built up the cotton power of the South, raising the product from 2,000,000 pounds in 1791 to the enormous crop of the present year, 5,00(),000 bales of 460 tbs, each. Anew process of ginning, called the "Clement attachment,” is now upon trial at the South, which, if it succeeds as well as is expected by the sanguine obser vers of its operations, will once again revo lutionize cotton culture and manufacture and place the profits of the great staple where they belong, in the hands of the pro ducer. This new machine compares with the original Whitney gin as the old-fash ioned thrashing machine comparos with the latest improved combined steam thrash er and cleaner, which receives the sheaves of wheat from the field, separates straw, grain and chaff, and delivers the wheat in bags ready fanned for market. The Clem ent attachment takes the seed cotton fresh from the field, cleans and dusts it, sepa rates the seed without tearing or breaking the fibre, "coaxes” the " lint ” into par allel lines, each fibre drawn out to its full length and laid side by side with all the other fibres, combs it into long thin rolls, cords it, and then spins it into yarns of any required fineness. It is, in fact, a gin which repudiates the tearing operation of tlie old saw-gin and preserves the staple uncut and intact. Its motion is said to be gentle and persistent, instead of rapid and violent, and the value of the product is thus greatly increased. The value of this new invention, when perfected, to the planter, is difficult to overestimate. Raw cotton now averages about 11$ cents in bales, while cotton yarn is selling for 174 cents about. Allowing for the slight in crease in cost of manipulation by the new process, and the planter who sells yarns in stead of raw cotton will still realize an ad vance of 30 per cent, in the price he gets for his staple. The Clement machinery is costly, and perhaps intricate, the machine itself fetching SOOO, while all the appliances, steam engine, Ac., will bring the cost for the apparatus for the new process above $2,000. On large plantations it will pay to have the machine, if it works ns repre sented, at even this price. Smaller plant ers, by imitating the co-operative system of the cheese and dairy farmers of the North, can easily get cheap use of the new machinery and have their work excellently done by expert mechanics at a very small cost. Cotton houses, where cotton could be ginned, spun, baled and stored, might be built at convenient central points, upon railroads or navigable rivWrs. and all the neighboring planters could confederate to establish such depots and equip them with the machinery, or, as is done in the case with wheat-thrashing in this State and elsewhere, enterprising men might buy the machines and go from plantation to plan tation with their engineers and operatives, ginning the cotion at a fixed price. If this new process should justify the expecta tions entertained of it, it will simply revo lutionize the cotton manufacture. New England factories will be deprived of one source of profit, but will lie more than compensated by the fact that the success of the new process will remove Europe from all chance of competing with the United States in the cotton manufacture. When cofton yarn is spun on the planta tion freights will become an important fac tor, and the nearest factories will have such advantages as will enable them to control the business.

Thompson, a farmer living near Hampton, Ga., committed suicide on the 7th, by cutting his throat with a knife. Mental aberration was said to have been the cause. “ One indiscreet fool South can in a min ute undo the lengthy labor of statesmen,” said Senator Wade Hampton in his last Bayard speech, which he delivered at Ab beville, S, C., the other day.

Warrenton Clipper : We arc pained by the intelligence that Kev. I.ovick Pierce, the venerable father of Bishop Pierce and the Presiding Elder of this District, Rev. Thos.

A level-headed seller of general mer chandise in Volusia county, Florida, hangs out his sign thus : “ To trust is to bunt, To bust is lit'll i No trust, no bust. No bust, no hull.” Savannah News : Zack Chandler's last speech, in Chicago, was devoted chiefly to a denunciation of the “ Ohio idea ” and a defense of the national bank system, copi ously interlarded with the usual tirade of Radical slanders and abuse of the South. He asked the question, “ Are we or are we not a nation?” and went over the history of the late war. claiming that the Repub lican party had saved the country. Jn view of his death a few hours afterwards, the following words he used now have a peculiar significance. lie said : “ After we have done all this we are told that we ought to die. If there was ever a political | organization on God’s earth which, so far as a future state of punishment is concern ed, is prepared to die, it is that old Repub lican parly. Hut wc ain’t going to die yet. We have made other arrangements." Sen ator Chandler, at the close of bis speech, in referring to the election in Chicago, said : " On the night of election, Mr. Chairman, send me a dispatch, if you please, that Chicago has gone overwhelmingly Repub lican.” A ugusla Chronicle : That Mr. Stephens prefers Grant to Tilden, as a possible choice of evils beyond his remedy, we are firmly convinced, and indeed be makes no secret of it. His preference is Hancock, but he admits that the General would stand no chance against Grant on the other side. In a word, he considers Grant ten percent, stronger than any other man in the coun try. Republican or Democratic, and is at a loss to see how his record can be success fully assailed, in or out of public office. We judge, therefore, that the sole hope of Democratic success, according to Mr. Ste phens, lies in Republican dissensions that may put Grant aside, or the determination of the General himself not to run again. This last contingency is, in our opinion, improbable. Grant lias his purpose and his eye fixed upon the Presidency. That he will be a hard roan to beat in conven tion and before the people may as well be conceded honestly; but we are far from admitting, as Mr. Stephens does, that he is ten per cent, harder to overthrow than any other man the Republicans can name. Remarkable presence of mind was re cently shown by a miner near Pottsville, Penn. He was employed in a shaft on Sharp Mountain. He had lighted a fuse and was climbing to the surface by means of pegs in the side of the shaft. When within a few feet of the top one of the pegs gave way and the unfortunate man fell to the bottom, thirty feet below. One of his thighs was broken and the splintered bones were pushed through two pairs of panta loons. Notwithstanding his terrible inju ries, lie had sufficient presence of mind to crawl to the lighted fuse which had burn ed within a few inohes of the charge and to smother it. If he had not done this he would have been blown to pieces when the explosion took place. He then crawled back to one of the earth buckets, got into it without assistance, and was hoisted to the surface. Cartcrsville Express : The year 1881 will be a mathematical curiosity.

If 1881 is divided by 209, 9 is the quotient; if divided by 9, the quotient contains a 9; if multiplied by nine, the product contains two 9’s. One and 8 are 9; 8 and one are 9. If the 18 be placed under the 81 and ad ded, the sum is 99. If the figures are ad ded thus, 1,8, 8,1, it will give 18. Read ing from left to right is 18. By adding, di viding and multiplying nineteen 9’s are produced, being one 9 for each year requir ed to complete the century. Does your head ache? Marietta Journal: “Charlie Castile, a boy of twelve years, living near Kennesaw, in this county, one morning last week went with his father out into the Held to pick cotton. lie complained to his father that he was cold. His father told him to go in the cotton pen and cover with the cotton, and stay there until the sun was up and keep himself warm. In about an hour Mr. Castile sent his little girl to call Char lie from his prolonged stay. Sho returned and said he was asleep, and she couldn't wake him. Mr. Castile concluded he would go and arouse him, and found him dead, with his head covered up with the seed cotton. The verdict of the Coroner's jury was that he died from apoplexy.” An old sock hung upon tho line, A sock with many a hole.

I’m darned if I can toll.” —Atlanta Dispatch. At last there seems a prospect that a monument in honor of Washington will be set up without the project dragging along for a generation or two. Congress at its last session passed a hill making an appro priation of three thousand dollars for the erection of a monument at the birthplace of the Father of his Country, and Secretary Evarts has just visited the spot to lix upon the site. Washington's birthplace is situ ated about fifty miles southeast of the cap ital. in Westmoreland county. Ya., and nothing hut a chimney now marks the site of the house. Constitution : In regard to the complex ion of the I nited States Senate, the Demo crats will lose four scats and gain one as the result of recent elections. They will lose Thurman, of Ohio ; Randolph, of New Jersey ; Kernan, of New York, and Eaton, of Connecticut. They will gain a succes sor to Bruce, of Mississippi. This will make tho Democratic vote forty, including David Davis, which gives them a working majority of four. This secures the Senate until after 1883. Our County, the new Warrenton paper, is responsible for the following : Alec Stephens writes a letter of endorse ment to Joe Brown and then tries to white wash it over by saying he didn't know ex actly how lie stood. This same mail, Alec Stephens, we are informed, reliably, open ly supports Grant for the Presidency— (and Little Alec for the Vice-Presidency.) Ta ta, Alec., ta ta. Constitution : It is pretty hard on the mass of people that they should be made to sutler by reason of the prejudices of a lot of legislative ignoramuses, who are fool ish enough to believe that they can regu late the price of money by law, and who persist in the attempt, instead of making an effort to cure the real usury of credit comprised in the difference between the price of goods for which cash is paid and thoso bought on time. Walton Yidette : Georgia is all right so far as the gubernatorial race is concerned. There arc quite a number of gentlemen in the State that are willing to serve in that capacity, as follows: Colquitt, Gartrell, Turner, Smith, Bacon, Reese, Hardeman, Cunuuing, Blount. Lester, Lawton, Ham mond, Toombs. Felton, ami a host of oth ers ; and among them all Gartrell is our first choice, anil we believe he is the choice of Georgia. Sparta Ishmaelite : J. 11.

Franklin News: Last Saturday night, at the residence of Mr. Camp, seven miles north of Franklin, occurred one of the sad dest accidents it has ever been our duty to record. An idiot son of Mr. Sanders Fa vor, about 23years of age, was accidental ly shot and almost instantly killed by Mr. .Jesse Catnp, one of Heard county's most highly respected young men. The partic ulars of the sad affair are about as follows : It seems that the deceased was very fond of hunting, and would frequently take his father’s dogs and go out rabbit hunting. On Saturday evening last lie took the dogs —two or three in number —and went off in the woods hunting. About night lie went to Mr. William Jackson's and stopped and ate suppor. After supper Mr. Sain Jack son started home with the deceased, but before they got there Mr Jackson’s dog treed an opossum near the road, and Mr. J., thinking that the deceased could find the way home—there being no road to mis lead him—pointed out the way to him, and ‘went to catch the opossum. Deceased went on towards home with his dogs, and when he catne to Mr. Camp's, who lives on the road ho was traveling, Mr. C's dog barked at him. He hissed his dogs on and they jumped over into the yard and com menced fighting Mr. C’s dog. Mr. Jesse Camp hearing the noise, took his double barreled gun and rushed out on the piazza, and seeing deceased sitting down on the road and thinking he was a dog. took aim at him and fired, the whole load entering his left breast killing him almost instantly. One of the dogs ran up to deceased and Mr. Catnp seeing it. discharged the other bar rel of his gun at it. The dog fell and com menced hollowing, and Mr. C. went back in the house, but the dog kept hollowing and ho went out to knock it in the head, when he was horrified to see poor, unfor tunate “ Tunny ” Faver lying dead on the ground. He went back'tn the house and told the sad story to his father and mother, and a runner was sent with the sad intelli gence to the parents of the deceased. The news spread like wild fire, and by mid night a largo crowd had gathered at the scene of the accident. This unfortunate affair will hear heavily upon Mr. Camp's feelings. He has the sympathy of every body m the community. (>el Out of Boors.
