THURSDAY, NOV. 24, 1898.
There are’ 90,000 ordained minis
ters in the United States.
A sample ticket used in the Ans
tr&linn ballot, system can tie seen in
the Chhonici.k office.
The Telegraph is right when it
stands for “common schools first.
Universities next, flub-dub last."
:— 1 j, j.■ j.
Let the legislature give us the
Australian ballot system for holding
elections. The experience of those
who have tried it say it is the only
.legal and satisfactory way of ex
pressing the will of the people.
It is said of a member of the pres
•*'iit legislature that he curried with
him from home it bundle of light
wood splinters that he might, save
kerosene oil at night while reading
letters from his constituents at
home.
An Abbeville girl lias shown
what a girl may do when neglected
for a day or two. Meeting her lover
after days of neglect she almost
smothered linn with kisses and
chewed off an inch of his tongue. A
warning to young men—kiss ’em
regularly.
The state of Georgia could not
make n greater mistake than to en
act a law that would, in any way,
curtail the appropriations to carry
on her common schools. Keep up
the common schools, the colleges
and universities can better take cure
of themselves.
The Macon Telegraph says of the
Maria 'Teresa: “She hove and she
sot and she sunk. ”
Which brings to mind Judge Tom
Norwood’s famous couplet:
She hove and sot and sot and hove
And high her rudders flung,
And every time she hove and sot
A wusser leak she sprung, .w

The trouble is, the same kick
would come, if this was undertaken,
that is made by the Porto Ricans
autl Cubans. The South must put
up with the negro, lie is here and
here to stay. Nobody else wants
him. and if he is let alone lit people
who do not know him, lie would be
far better off anti so would the peo
ple among whom he lives.
It only takes a sorry negro to
make a big hero w hen he becomes
too unsavory for the South and lands
hurriedly tip North.—King's Weekl\
(Greenville, N. (’.
The Weekly goes on further to
state:
“Negro editor Manley is’ now in
the North where it seems he is find
ing congenial friends. However he
is only a negro here, but there,
hero of heroes. The South has
thousands just such the north would
be very welcome to. Will it take
them?

Vvliy This Difference':'
There is no doubt llmt Gov. Tan
ner of Illinois violated the constitu
tion of the United States when he
•
used tin; inilitin of his, slate to pre
vent citizens of Alabama from set
tling in Illinois and earning u living
there. Why was it that the attorney
general of the United Slates did not
Inquire into this violation of the
constitution?
It is noticeable that lie was prompt
to inquire into the question as
whether any federal law had
violated in South Carolina tlie other
day, when an election riot occurred
near Phoenix in that state. Why
was lie so prompt to alleml to his
duty in one case and so neglectful of
it in the other? Is it not just as
necessary that the federal laws
rfhould lie respected in one state us
in the other?
lie fouud that no federal law had
been violated in South Carolina, hut
would he have found that the Gov
ernor of Illinois did not violate the
constitution if lie had made an in
vestigation of the tragedy which oc
curred in that state? 'The chances
are lie will not. Still the affair in
South Carolina has his attention,
probably because it is a Southern
state while the affair in a Northern
state—an affair much more out
rageous from any point of view—is
allowed to pass unnoticed.—Morning
News.

grippe and all throat and lung dis
eases. Central Drug Co.
The following extract from a com
munication from .Ashburn, Ga., in
the Macon Telegraph, signed “Far
mer,” gives a gootl formula for both
landlord and tenant for the year
1899:
“Let the landlords, in renting
their farms for 1899 to tenants, say
they will take a bushel of wheat for
an acre, two bushels of corn or
twenty pounds of iint cotton, and
liecf and pork at market prices; then
you will see a change in cotton pro
duction and a better state of affairs
for landlords and tenants. Tenants
should inform their landlords that
they will not make cotton notes ex
clusively for rent. Rents are too
high. Landlords should not ask $3
per acre for land that is not
worth $1.”
The Chronicle endorses the above
heartily, viewing it from the position
of landlord. It will be better
both landlord and tenant
hope to see the idea carried
effect.
Constipation prevents the
from ridding itself of waste matter.

Georgia Wins Medals.
Ex-governor Northen wires the
following from Omaha:
“Georgia continues to win vic
tories on this conspicuous field of
contest. With $7,700 we come into
the mineral, mining and stone sec
tions of the union and a gold medal
on building stones; a gold medal on
aluminum ore and products; a silver
medal on minor minerals; bronze
medal on clays; another on mana
dnese and iron, and another on gold
ores. We are also in the grain sec
tion and have won a silver medal on
grain, grasses and cotton. In this
great contest of states we have won
the gold medal on state exhibits.
We are near through, yet will wire
you again what could have been pos
sible if we had come with only half
the mon*ey expended by any other
state. With $3,000 in building and
450 for ground space, we had only
$4,100 for our show.”
