RIM9R & Co., 1000 Main St., Richmond, GRIFFIN GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, JANT T ARY 20 1888 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.

Gordon would make a good man, and wo would like to see him in the Senate, Pierce’s “Pleasant Purgative Pellets,’ Positively Prove Popular; Provoke Praise Priceless; Peculiarly Prompt, Perceptibly Potent; Producing Perma nent Profit; Precluding Pimples and pustules; promoting purity and peace.

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.

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.

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 men. One by one tho pastimis of 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 iu the WeBl the illustrious rau'^ Mayor Hewitt in the East. She not attained equal address with pen, but she has vanquished the ineu. Argonia hasn’t known a street fraens or an emer.'.e since she assomel the civic staff The girls r.o lot ^ i. and tbe young men no longer mash The town moves on. socially and civ cally, with the decorum of a Mmt g ladies' seminary. Jack D.;s! er found bis occupation of toagb gone. His saloon, in spite of bis instrumen tality in nominating Susanna Medo ra, has been forced to close its doors. He proposed to compromise on apple cider, but the stern would not have it. He bagged tbe boys might amnse themselves in A loft on tbe outskirts in poker fnn, bat she denied him.

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." - U.-e the great specific for “cold in head” and catarrh—Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
