A Georgia Slate.
Columbus Enquirer-Sun
l'lie New York Tribune says that
the political slate m Georgia is ar¬
ranged lor Coiquitt to succeed him¬
self in the Senate, for Gordon to suc->
ceed Brown, and for Blount to suc¬
ceed Gordon as governor.
For once in our lives we hope that
the Tribune is predicting correctly.
The attack on Senator Colquitt by
the Constitution, on acoount of tbe
tariff reform sentiments, has about
made it certain that be will be re¬
elected unanimously. As for Mr.
Blount, he will fill any position well
to which the people may see fit to
elect him. Wo would like to see
him governor and our pleasure at
his election to this high office would
only be marred by our regret at los¬
ing so valuable a Congressman.
Tbe great improvement would be,
however, the election of Gov. Gor¬
don to.the Senate in place of Sena¬
tor Brown. We would be glad to
see any tarifl' reform democrat take
the place of our present Senior Sen¬
ator. He misrepresents the State.
His stand is damaging the State,
The interests of the State are lost to
bis view behind his own opposing in¬
terests, and he should not represent
the State.
We would like to have some mail
fn the Senate patriotic ^enough to
consider the interests of the State,
in preference to his own, but if we
cat not have such a one, we must
have one whose interests are in har¬
mony with those of the people, and
whose success does not depend on
robbing them. Gov. Gordon would
make a good man, and wo would
like to see him in the Senate,

Return from a Wedding.
Our fellow citizen, Mr. Jno. J. Hunt,
has just returned from Marietta, where
he attended the wedding of his ueice,
Miss Florida George, who was married
on the evening of the 17th at the resi
deuce of the bride’s mother, to Mr.
Newton Anderson, of that place. Rev.
Nelson George, the bride’s brother,
was present and officiated iu the core
mony. Our friend Mr. Hnnt gave away
the bride and he tells us that the wed
ding was a most enjoyable occasion. “It
was especially so to me,” he added, “for
there I was born and passed my youth
ful days and met many of my old
friends.” Mrs. AndersoD, uee Miss
Florrie George, is a daughter of Rev.
James H. George, who at one time was
a citizen of this place and in charge of
St. George’s Chnrcb. She is a most
charming and popular lady. Mr. An
derson is a young man who enjoys the
confidence and esteem of all who know
him, and the new couple enter upon
life’s voyage under a propitious and
bright sky, which their friends trust
may seldom be clouded by adversity or
affliction.

SPALDING’S AFFAIRS.
THE COUNTY OUT OF DEBT AND
WITH A SURPLUS.
The Paradise of Taxpayers—'The Rate
Low and to be Reduced
One Half.
There is no greater evil tliau to
live in a tax ridden community. Tax
ation most be considered a necessary
evil, and tbe less necessary tbe bet
ter.
On tbe other hand a flourishing
district, with its affairs well and eco
nomicully managed, and its taxed
nominal, is "regarded with favor not
only by its inhabitants but by all
who may be thinking of casting their
lines in some uew place.
An examination of the Treasurers
report recently printed in this paper
shows that Spalding is probably the
lightest taxed and in the best finan
cial condition of any county in the
State.
Tho Treasurer enters the year
with $6,300 on hand; $3,000 more
will soon be collected by the Tax
Collector, giving a total of $9,000 to
start with. The outstanding indebt
edness in sight, consisting of running
accounts not yet doe, is not more
than $150. The amount on hand at
the beginning of last year was $4,400
so that we are $2,000 ahead of this
time last year, and will soon bfl
$5,000 ahead. The expenses of the
county last year were $11,500, in
eluding the purchase of a new coun
ty farm at $1,200. Tte most that
the county has ever had to pay out
was the year of the Doyal trial, which
cost $2,500 and made the total $13,
000. This year the court expenses
will be at a minimum, as the docket
is so well up that there will not have
to be any adjourned term. The two
terms will not cost over $2,400. The
ordinary running expenses of the
county amount to about $1,500, leav
ing nothing else but repairs
of roads and bridges. The poor
farm, for tbe firBt time in the histo
ry of tbe county, is self sapporting;
and the county has the old poor
farm for sale.
It will be Been that the county is
in very good shape indeed; and that
the County Commissioners think so
is evidenced by the fact that they
propose, if nothing extraordinary
happens to increase the expenses, to
reduce the rate of taxation this year
one half.
It must be evident that most of
the credit for this coudition of affairs
belongs to the County Commission
ere: but the benefit is everybody’s.
“What is Woman Worth’?
asked a fair damsel of a crusty old bacb
elor . He did not know, so she said:
"W. O. man” (double you, O man). But
a woman feels worth little if disease has
invaded her system and is daily sapping
her strength. For all female weakness
es, Dr. R. V. Pierce’s “Favorits Pro
scription” stands nnrivaled. It cures
the complaint and builds up tbe system.

Never Stop Advertising.
You do not, any of you, advertise
enough. You ought to use printer’s
ink every day. You are asleep and
want your business to run itself.
Standing advertisements iu tho pa¬
per command confidence. Tbe man
who for a year lives in one communi
ty leads a reputable life, even though
he be of moderate ability, will grow
in the confidence and esteem of his
fellows. On the same principle a
newspaper advertisement becomes
familliar to the eyes of the reader.
It may be seldom read, still it makes
tbe name and busiaess of the rnan
familiar, and its presence in the col
umns of a paper inspires confidence
in tbe stability of bis enterprise.—[P.

THE TRIUMPH OF SUSANNA.
A Foretaste of the Coming Reign «f
Woman.
N. Y. Star.
All the male world wondered and
all the female world hurrahed when
SasaDna Medora Slater was elected
Lord Mayor of Argonia, Kan. Ever
since the election the lady Mayor
has been the pride and delight of her
sex, wherever the glorious news
was carried that woman’s rights had
finally prevailed over the prejudice
ol men. Susan B. Anthony and the
persistent sisterhood who have for
a century or more made Congress
men and national committeemen
feel like Caligulas, sounded the
timbrel in every known tongue, and
Belva Lockwood furbished up b r
best gown fora new nomination in
1888. From Groenland’s icy mouu
tains to Corea’s yellow strand tho
heart of woman throbbed under tho
new hope held out to the sex.
Even tbe veiled odalesques in iho
harems at Byzantium smuggled notes
to Sunset Cox conveying their rapt
ure that the star of woman’s empire
had risen in the West. The poli
ticians began to cast about aDd take
account of tbe ‘pull 1 these new
forees would have iu politics, and
tbe problem of Chinese labor and
Irish votes seemed solved.
Medora‘s election was not tbe
well pondered resolution of social
reformers, implying manly repent
ence and regeneration. It was the
joke of a group of the leading boys
of the town. Jack Dasher, who is
known as the toughest roan in tbe
township, named Medora, in a hilar
ions company of t ports, after the
other nominees had been pnt in
nomination days before. The boys
laughed, and took off their coats.
Medora's husband was paralyzed
and tried to stop tho nonsence, but
tbe boys liked the notion botter the
more they thought of it, and Me
dora came in at the poll. Then the
boys were very happy, and tbe
world looked on iu wonder. Argonia
settled down to a motherly adininis
tration of its civic affairs, and ihe
boys looked foiward to no end of
fan.
But Medora had no notion of
merely playing Mayor. She took
her place at the Executive desk every
day with her sewing, and, regardless
of he: back hair or the set ol her bus
tie, gave her immortal mind to tbe
expedition of affairs. It took the
boys but a short time to find
out that Susanna Medora was
no respector of “pulls.’’ Equal
and exact justice was meted
out to all alike. The boys
soon found that a gynecocracy web
infinitely less indulgent to their pleas
ant vices than the government

the town were restricted. No more
poker of an evening. No' diversions
in the larid leg shows that demoral
ize the towns laxly administered by
men. No sampling by the city
vants, no bais for love or license.
Indeed, Susanna Medora has reached

Mayor Hewitt in the East. She
not attained equal address with
pen, but she has vanquished the ineu.

THE WHISKY TAX.
The Tax Collector iu Georgia, and the
Case of Revenue Prosecutions, E'e.
Atlanta, January 17.—A refer
ence to the records show that the tax
collected on whisky in Georgia for
the last fiscal year, 1887, amounted
to $202,239, while the report of the
staiiscian shows that the tax collect¬
ed on sugar, as pro rated, was $1,-
619,281. Again it is shown, by a
comparison with Illinois, that that
State paid for the last fiscal year
$1,080,880,11 more taxes than has
been collected from Georgia for rev¬
enue taxes since 1863, even includ
in the cotton tax.
A revenue official is authority for
the statement that the amount paid
out in costs and for the enforcement
of the revenue laws in this State
leaves 75 per cent to the government
which was last year $84,885,95. In
Illinois four and a half gallons of
liquor are made to every bushel of
grain, while tn Georgia 2 55-100 gal
Ions are made to the bushel.
Said this official: “If tho federal
law ia abolished, and the State de
mauds a revenue upon whisky mana
factares, a9 it is argued that sbo
should do by some, a discrimination
against their own manufacturers
would have to bo made, as there
would be no assurance that other
Stales would demand a tax, Tbe
State of Illiuois could raise more tax
at one cent per gallon than Geoigia
could by taxing whisky at ono dollar,
and Northern and Western manufac
turers could easily crowd out manu
facturers in Ibis by underselling
them. I merely mention these facts
to -bow-tbe utter fallacy of the prop
os; in that the State take chaage of
tin utei uul revenue."
