TELEPHONE NO. 4A,— Entered at I bo Post Office at Abbeville, Ga., »s second-<■ luss matter. 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 If about |^liiw^*iiiirUi lialf^QJ*'"darkies could I* 1 < , < | » | of the Mason and Dixon line the race problem would be solved.— Americus Times 'Recor der. 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?

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. ±. Overcome evil with good. Over come your coughs and colds with One Minute Cough Cure. It is so good children cry for it. It cures croup, bronchitis, .pneumonia, la 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. Do Witt's Little Early Risers will remove the trouble and cure sick headache, biliousness, inactive anil clear the complexion. Small, sugar coated, don’t gripe or cause nausea. Central Drug Co. 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.” Sugar Cane.
