Mr. bridges Smith has been made
city editor of the Macon Telegraph.
A deserved compliment to a spright¬
ly journalist and a clever gentleman.
Mr. Smith is an industrious, capable,
experienced newspaper man. He has
done exceedingly clever humorous
work.
Mr. Powderly claims to have been
misunderstood. His fair words seem
to indicate that the party at fault in
this misunderstanding is the body
which placed him at its head. His
words and its action indicate a pur
pose to attain the same end perhaps,
but show that they propose to ta.ee
diflferent routes.
A hotly contested prohibition in Rich- cam

ranks of the prohibitionists, and with
such forces victory will probab.y
perch upon the right banner. I he
contest will be decided next Monday.
The Augusta cotton factories were
run at a loss eight months of last
year. Now a strike is threatened
that may eat up the profits of the
present year. But we do not believe
the lawlessness that has charactenzed
the strikes in other states can be re
peated in Georgia without the law
breakers being brought to speedy
justice, and if left free to employ la¬
bor that miy offer, the Augusta lac
tories will not long be idle.

Prohibition may or may not pro¬

HAMILTON, GA., APRIL 23,1886.
A correspondent of the Atlanta
Constitution has the following com¬
plimentary ris notice of a successful Har¬
county gentleman, which we quote
with pleasure:
Among the successful farmers in
this state who deserve credit for skill
ful management of their farms, we
have one in our midst who we think
deserves to be placed at the head of
the list. The name will be found
at the close of this sketch. He was,
at the close of the war, without much
means, having only a small farm of
about 250 acres; but by strict econo
my, close attention to business, and
skillful and scientific management of
his farm, has succeeded well, and his
farm now consists of 2,000 acres of
land, or more. On this farm supplies
of all kinds are raised for man and
beast; improvements are splendid,
ants and laborers. Recently a hand
some barn has been added to the
premises, and makes it quite attract
ive.
While the subject of this stretch has
succeeded .well with his farming in¬
terest, he is justly considered one of
the finest physhians in this county,
and enjoys quite an extensive practice.
In conclusion, this gentleman is
one of the best men we have—-is con
sidered a hightoned Christian man,
and enjoys the confidence of this en
tire section 'The gentleman of whom
we write is Dr. T. R. Ashford, of El
lerslie, Ga.
