tiffin Daily New VOLUME 17 Griffin, Ga. Gridin is the liveliest, pluckiest, most pro¬ gressive town in Georgia. This is no hyper¬ bolical description, a3 the record of the last Aye years will show. During that time it lias buiit and put into most successful operation a $100,000 cotton ‘actory and is now building another with nearly twice the capital. It lias put up a a ge iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer fac¬ tory, an immense ice and bottling works, a , sash and blind factory, a broom factory ' opened up the finest granite quarry in the United State 0 , and has many other enter¬ prises in .ontemplation. It has secured tnothc .ulroad ninety miles long, and while J ocatcu on the greatest system in the South, the Central, lias secured connection with its important rival, the East Tennessee, Virginia nd Georgia, Ithasjust secured direct inde- H pendent connection with Chattanooga and v the W» st, and has the President of a fourth railroad residing here and working to its ultimate completion. With t* live white and three colored churches, it is now building a $10,000 new Pre-byterian church. It has increased ite population by nearly one fifth. It has at- | r^ v ’ :> ound its borders fruit growers from neany eery State in the Union, until it is I now surror ,ded on nearly every side by or¬ chards ar: i vineyards. It is the home of the J grape an < its wine making capacity has doubled every year. It has successfully inaugurated a system of public schools, with » seven years curriculum, second to none. This is part of the record of a half decade and simply shows the progress of an already admirable city, with the natural advantages of having the finest climate, summer and winter, in the world. Griffin is the county seat of Spalding county, situated in west Middle Georgia, with a healthy, fertile and ro’li ig country, 1150 feet above sea level. By Ihe census of 1890, it will have at a low estimate between 6.000 and f,000 people, and they are allot the right sort—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to ;■ welcome strangers and anxious to secure de¬ sirable settlers, who will not be any less wel¬ come if they bring money to help build up the town, .There is about only one thing we need badly just now, and that is a big hotel. YVc have several small ones, but their accom¬ modations arc entirely too limited for our business, pleasure aim health seeking guests. If you see anybody that wants a good loea- ioa for a hotel in the South, just mention Grill! n. Gbiffin Griffin is the place when tiie News is published— daily and weekly— the nest newspaper in the Empire State of the • Georgia. Please enclose stamps In sending for sample copies.

Da Qnincey, in his wonderful study c t the early Caesars, tho paper in which his power of suggestive narrative and hia con¬ trol over tho resources of language are perhaps seen at their best, is, so to speak, driven by wonder at the wild willfulness of his subjects to suggest that all the Caesars of the Julian house were mad. Caligula may have boon, though his symptoms, as recorded by Suetonius, are rather those of delirium tremens; but tho theory which makes of the grand though sinister statesman, Tilierius, who gave the Roman monarchy its final impress, amat of disordered mind in the ordinary medi¬ cal sense, will not readily be accepted at correct. He was no more mat! than Philip II, whose private life was much of the same kind. It would, as we read history, be far truer to say that pow er, when really ab¬ solute, so absolute that the volition ia executive and the necessity for self restraint is unfelt, produces of itself a special mental disease, which is not in¬ sanity, because it would disappear with tho power, but has at intervals, like the passion of children, many of its external lymptoms and effects. Nero, the artist ymperor, who was always seeking the impossible, and whom the curly Chris- tians believed to be tho veritable incarna¬ tion of evil, may bo said undoubtedly to have suffered from it; so did one or two of the Italian tyrants of the Rennaissancoj •nd so, in our judgment, though it is • disputable Power ixjint, did Ivan the Terrible. of that sort, though it does not al¬ ways injure the mind—for several of the Caesars and some of the emperors of Delhi were men of splendid sanity and judge*’at—when it happens to fall to a man predisposed by inherited tendency or by drink, or by special solitariness of nature, undoubtedly weakens the re¬ straining force of the will and strength¬ ens impulse until many of his act* resemble closely the acta of mailmen. Half the great sovereigns of Asia, if their private lives were accurately known, would be seen to have had their charac¬ ters, so to speak, jioisoncd by power, as directly as if they had !x«n poisoned with one of the drags which temporarily dis¬ turb reason. Drink, w ild and continuous drunken¬ ness with bail brandy, was tho prods*- posing came in Peter the Great, and, it is believed, in Theebaw, and probably in the Emperor Buber, who, wise by day¬ light, would in tho moonlight occupy himself in jumping from bettlement to battlement of his palace, eighty feet from tho ground. In Czar Paul tho predis¬ posing cause was probably an insane ten¬ dency, though that is not quite proved; and in Alexander III it is a solitariness almost beyond example. There is not a man in the world more <? .-ply to be The pitied loneliness than the of present kings, emperor of Russia. a lonelines natu¬ rally resulting from their plaoe, which hardly admits of friendship and does not admit of equality, is always terrible, and is frequently felt by themselves so sovercly that they break through all restraints of prudence and moral law in order to In rid of it.—The Spectator. Mud Batin ol Uu Vegas. When it comes to genuine cures Laa Vegas can show up some pretty tall stories. Most of the cures are effected by the mud baths, which are a novel feature. The patient 13 plastered over from head to foot with extremely hot mud, made by mixing prairie loam with the hot mineral water. The nose, mouth, eye3 and ears are left uncovered. He in then placed in a tub of the mud and left there half an hour, after which his dirty coating is scraped off. A shower bath of the hot water follows, which then a plunge the In a tank of it; after comes mas¬ sage of a professional; half an hour’s siesta—tho patient, sleeping, WTapped in a sheet, in a room the temperature of which is about 98 degs.—and after this another rubbing. If rheumatism sur¬ vives this treatment long the patient’s only hope for relief lies in suicide.—At¬ lanta Constitution. Known by Tbelr Oddities. If you have ever visited an asylum for the deaf and dumb you have noticed that the patients at once name all visitors by some peculiarity. If there be a slight facial contortion or a peculiarity of mo¬ tion it ia instantly caught by the crowd, represented in sign language, and so you are henceforth designated by them. Their names are much like those given by Indians to children—“The Man with One Eye Glass,” “The Man Who Has a Mole Under Ilia Eye,” “The Man Who Squits.” They know you by your dif¬ ferences. We are working on the same plan when we describe our great men and leaders. We know them by their oddities.

The Stab is the only New York newspaper possessing tional Administration tho fullest confidence of the Na¬ and the United Dem¬ ocracy of New York, the p rlitical Hattie ground of the Republic. Jeffersonian Democracy, pure and simple, is good enough for the Stab. Single hand¬ ed among the metropolitan press, it has stood by the men called by the great Democ¬ racy to redeem the government from twenty-five and years of Republican wastefulness corruption and despotism to the South. For these four years past it has beennnswerv ing in its fidelity tho administration of Grov¬ er Cleveland, It is for him now—for Cleve¬ land and Thurman—for four years more of Democratic honesty in our national affairs, and of continued national tranquility and prosperity. For people who like that sort of Democracy he Stab is the paper to read. Tho Stab stands squarely on the National Democratic platform. It believes that any tribute exacted from the people in excess of tlie demands of a government economically administered is essentially oppressive and dishonest. The scheme fostered and cham¬ pioned by the Republican miser, part-of making the government a wringing and miliionsan nually from the people locking them up in vaults to serve no purpose but invite waste fulness and dishonesty, it regards as a mon¬ strous crime against tho right of American citizenship. Republican political jugglers may call it ‘’protective taxation;” the Stab’s name for it is robbery. Through and through the Stab is a great newspaper. Its tone is i arc and wholesome, its news service unexceptionable. Each issue presents an epitome of what is best worth knowing of the world’s history of yesterday. Its stories are told in good, quick, piotur- eque Kdglish, and mighty interesting read¬ ing they Sunday are. The Stab is as good as the best class magazine, and prints about the same amount of matter. Besides the day’s news it is rich in spesial descriptive articles, sto ries, snatches of current literature, reviews, art criticism, etc. Bnrdctte’s inimatible hu¬ mor sparkles in its columns; Will Carleton’s delightful letters arc of its choice offerings. Many of the best known men and women in literaturo and art arc represented in its col unins, WeekLy Stab is large giving The a paper the cream of the news tliewirld over, with special features which make it the in os complete family newspaper published. The farmer, the mechanic, the business man too much occupied to read a daily paper, will get more for his dollar invested in The Weekly Stab than from any other paper It will be especially alert dur ing the cam paign, and will print the freshest and most ) e'iablc political news.

The candidates of both factions of the Democratic party of Pike county, met in Zebulon last Tuesday and adopted the follow resolutions, for the purpose of uniting the party: Whereas, An unfortunate and damaging division exists in the Dem ocratio party of Pike county, grow ing out of local issues, and Whereas, We are on the eve ol great national, state and county elec tion in which the democracy of, the entire country is interested, and Whereas, The Republicans of the entire country are organizing for the recovery of lost supremacy, and Whereas, Tne executive commit tees of the two factions in this coun ty have met today and failed to agree upon a plan for adjustment of dif Terences, and Whereas, As patriotic citizens, wo desire harmony in all things, and above all things the supremacy of Democratic principles and the Dem j cratic party. Therefore we, the candidates of the two factions cf the county do agree among ourselves to submit our nameB, and claims to the Democratic white voters of Pike county at a pri mary election to be held in the differ ent districts of the county on Sat urday, 2‘2nd day of Sept. inst.

Itisfurth er agreed that the committeemen of the two executive committees in the different districts assisted by a third man their own selection hold said election under the same rules as govern in such cases in the selection of Repiesentatives, and that they tho said managers, meet at the court house at Zebulon on the the Monday after tiie said election and consoli date the vote and declare the result.

AS A1LASTA FltiHI. An Editor Severely (aued by a Promi¬ nent Lawyer A sensational fight occurred in At ianta Tuesday. There lias been some trouble brewing, for the last few days, between, Harry Jackson and Tom Cobb Jackson on one side and George Martin and J. C. Cam bell on the other. Martin and Cam bell, are editors of the Avalanche, a weekly paper published in Atlanta. The AvaLncbe came ont not long ago containing an article fiercely denouncing Captain Harry Jackson who in a candidate lor the legislature Tom Cobb Jackson replied to this ar tide through other Atlanta papers. The ccntrovercy continued until Tnesday when Martin and Cambell inserted a communication in the Con stitution that proved very insulting to the Jtckaonp. As soon as tho com munication came out every one who know the parties predicted that a conflict would sorely be the conse quenoe. These predictions were verefied Tuesday afternoon- About 1 o’clock Captaiu Jackson, acoom pained by two other friends, went into Martin's office and severly chas tised him with a walking cane. Mar tin attempted to draw his pistol but it was knocked from bis band by a bystander. No one interferred until Martin had received a severe drnb bing. Just before this light occurred Tom Cobb Jackson met Cnrabell on the steet and walked deliberately up to him and gave him a tremendroas blow in the face with his fist which knocked him down. lie then jump ed upon him and beat him until he was insensible. Martin and Cambell both were badly done up but not seriously wounded. To Whom and W'here tl Went Lately.
