Yesterday morning Judge Marcus W. Beck, of thia circuit, opened the spring term of Spalding Superior court on schedule time and at once proceed* ed to business. The following grand jurors were present and after being qualified retir ed for organization. Capt. 8. Grant land was chosen foreman, and Thurl Manley was selected as bailiff, when the body returned to the court for definite and explicit instructions: Seaton Grantland, H. 0. Cummings, W. P. Blanton, Chas. B. Waldrup, J. G. Rhea, J. O. Prothro, J. M. Dingier, T. M. Man ley, W. R. Hanleiter, M. S. Johnston, B. C. Randal), F. B. Terry, C. T. Digby,T. J. White, 8. H. Deane, H. W. Hasselkus, D. A. Oxford, A. W. Walker, T. C. McLau rin, H. H. Whittington, J. M. Jones. The Court’s charge, though brief, was clear, distinct and forcible, cover ing the entire field of violations of the criminal code- Judge Beck was par ticularly pointed and emphatic touch ing violators of the prohibition law and that of gaming.' He felt confident, after looking into the faces of the jurors chosen and sworn for the term, that it was not necessary to particular ize—he knew that violators of law would be carefully investigated by that jury, and they repaired to their room to b?giu their labors. The following traverse jurors were then qualified for the first week: Panel No. I.—Henry P. Eady, J. T. Freeman, F. F. Passmore, W. N. Cop pedge, R. L. Williams, W. W. Duke, 8. D. Riegel, T. J. McKneely, A. B Shackle ford, Jr., J. L. Maddox, J. H. Keith, Jno. F. Ogletree. Panel No. 2.- -M. L. Sandifer, L. G. Huckaby, P. 8. Parmalee, H. T. Patter son, J. R. Lindsay, Jno. C. Westmoreland, S. J. Futral, L. L. Stanley, J. H. Malaier, J. W. Shivers, J. P. Crawford, J. H. Gla zier. . The civil docket was then sounded and al', cases ready for trial were set f* today . At 3 o’clock in the afternoon the court announced that he would take up the criminal docket Wednesday morning at 8 :30. The civil branch of the court, of late years, rarely ever consumed more than three days, and it is thought the term will not hold longer than this week Still the grand jury may develop more business than at present antici pated. A better set of men is rarely drawn in a county to serve as grand jurors than compose the present jury of Spalding county. They will prove to be a strong defense of law and a ter ror to evil doers.

The gubernatorial contest at pres ent appears to have narrowed itself down to Col. Terrell, of Meriwether, ahd Judge Candler, of Hal), with the latter far in the lead. Col. Terrell has many warm friends in Spalding, but no one ventures the opinion that he could carry the county against Judge Candler, as no one can raise one word of criticism against the long and useful life of Candler. He is oho man that stands before the people of Georgia without one blot or blemish upon his public dr private record. Where known he is loved and respect ed, and to learn of him is to admire. The Call makes no attack upon Col. Terrell’s record, but it ventures the opinion that his association with the Newnan possum supper and “that ring that controls” has done him harm in every section of the stale The Atkinson political ring of Geor gia has been smashed, never again to be resurrected, and no man can handle the fragments even and come out with clean hands. The Democratic party of the State will be in the saddle from now on and don’t you forget it, and the party will not seek to save or redeem any of the old ringsters because they want office. There “are others,” who never entered the combine, that are worthy and true, and none more so than Judge Candler. New Era in Georgia Politics. The Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune says he had a talk with a well-known Georgian in that city the other day—a Georgian who said that Hon. Hoke Smith “marks a sort of new era io the politics” of Georgia. At least that is what the correspondent says that the Georgian said, and we have no reason to doubt it. There are a good many Georgiana who do a lot of talking when they are away from borne, some of them giving expression to ideas which seem so foreign to Georgia thought that the average home staying Georgian does not recognize them. It may be a fact that Mr. Smith marks “a sort of new era” in Georgia politics, but we feel jure that nobody ever recognized the fact, except the Georgian who unbur dened his mind to the New York Tri bune man. In saying this we do not wish to be understood as detracting in the least from the merits of Hon. Hoke Smith, who has undoubtedly had an unusually successful career. No doubt there is curiosity to know in what respect Mr. Smith marks “a new era in the politics” of this state. Well, the Georgian said that two young Georgians—Grady and Smith—started out to capture fame and fortune at about the same time. Grady was an eloquent talker and Smith was a practical man with great executive ability—in fact, a great organizer. Grady captured the state first, because of his eloquence. Mothers began to name their babies after him and in ev ery county young men sought to be come orators. An eloquent tongue, it was thought, was the surest means of getting from between plow handles and into the governor’s ‘chair or the White House. Grady died young and then Smith loomed up as Georgia’s big man. The young men throughout the state began to copy him, so that now elo quence is at a discount and Smith’s political methods are at a premium. Georgia’s politics is conducted on lines laid down by Smith. This is the view held by the Georgian who talked to the Tribune man and who says that Mr Smith “marks a sort of new era” in Georgia politics.,, Does he?—Sa vannah News. Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroy ed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 18, 1888. A Syracuse woman was in Boston some time ago, and she had occasion to get a check cashed, being without ready money, says the Syracuse Post. She had no friend who was easily available, but she went to a bank and presented a check. Os course, she was told she would have to be identified. The cashier of the bank suggested that she might have one of her cards. She took out her card case, but the card she produced proved to be that of one of her friends. This caused her a good deal of confusion, but the accom modeling cashier suggested that she might prove her identity by the ini** tials on her card case But these, alas, proved to be those of her mother. Her confusion continued >to increase until she thought of the initials on her handkerchief. The marked article was produced to be put in evidence, but when it was examined it was found to bear the initials of another friend. She was thwarted in every direction, but the cashier was “easy.” Boston cashiers are apparently not as strict as those in this part of the country. For this particular one said he “gussed” that it was all right, and he cashed the check. Conductors of flimflam and three-card monte games are directed to Boston for a good field of opera tion.
