Sooth. He said: “A person can al¬
ways stand the climate of the month
be was born in better than any other.
I waa born in July, and yon can’t
make It too warm for me. Bntwben
it gets real cold! want to step in
doors. I have noticed that men who
were born in winter langh at the frost,
but groan when the sun begins to
scorch them. And men who are born
in spring or antndm always seems to
bear extremes of weather of all kinds
with only a medium amonnt of Buf¬
fering. Just watch this a white, and
you’]! find it often comes true.”

INSPECTING THE ROAD BED.
The JJackaen New* Thinks It Only a
Private Affair.
The Jackson News refuses to taka
the same cheerful view of the building
of the Griffin branch of tteGovington
and Macon road as the Argos. It
says:
On Monday evening there arrived
in town, Maj. Key, president of the
Macon & Covington railroad; and a
civil engineer, who balls frOtn Vir¬
ginia, and who has been employed
to inspect tte property of the C. A M.
road for some Virginia capitalists,
for tte purpose of which wo know
not.
“They left Tuesday morning on a
tour of inspection over the old road
bed towards Griffin.
“Their appearance in Jackson
caused some to believe that tip road
was just lyady to begin running at
once, bat snch was not the case, their
business heirs was a kind of private,
out-of-the-way affair, and does not
signify in any manner, whatever,
that the road will or will not be built.
Developments only can give a satis¬
factory answer to this question.
What the Virginia capitalists intend
doing after a report is made no one
but themselves know. Maj. Key and
the engineer preferred keeping quiet
on tte subject, and it was with much
difficulty and persuasion that the
above was learned.”

THE EARLY OYSTER.
Said to Be the Finest Ever Seen at
This Season.
The first oyster* of the season were
received in Savannah on Saturday
from tte Isle of Hope.
It will be gratifying news to the
many expectant friends of this at¬
tractive mollusk in Griffin to learn
that the oysters this season are said
to be better than have ever been seen
so early. Already they are free from
the milk which they usually have when
the season first opens. The
it is said, has been more favorable
to them than for some time past,
and the oysters spawned earlier.
Since the spawning season closed
they have had time to get fat,
and already they are in demand.
Not many, however, will be consum¬
ed until after the first week in Sep¬
tember.
The Savannah fish dealers are al
ready receiving orders from tbs inte
rior towns, and they look for an im¬
mense season for oysters. Some of
the dealers have sent dredgers to
their oyster beds, and they are gath¬
ering them rapidly. As the demand
increases, the number of oyster gath¬
erers will be increased until the season
is fairly in.

A premium of 3300 is offered for the
third best. These are the largest
premiums of the kind ever offered in
the state, and will stimulate lively
competition. It is probable that a
dozen counties will make collective
displays. For individual displays
liberal premiums are offered, with
|350 for the first, |250 for the sec¬
ond, $15# for the third and 3100 for
the fourth. Besides these premiums
there are many others covering al;
departments of agriculture, stock
breeding and domestic work.
As the train from Selma was get¬

night, John Wilkie, a whiteman, who
appeared to be under the influence of
liquor, ordered Warren, the colored
porter, to make a coupling. For
some reason Warren refused to do so
and some words passed between
them, when Wilkie drew bis pistol
and fired, the ball striking Warren
in the arm. A scuffle ensued,
and Warren wrested the pistol from
Wilkie, who immediately ’procured
another from a friend and again
opened fire on the negro. This time
Warren was shot in the neck, the ball
ranging downward and backward
and lodging between the shoulder
blades. Another ball struck the ne¬
gro three inches above tbe left knee
breaking the thigh bone completely.
He fell to the ground, weltering in
his blood, while Wilkie made good
his escape, and has probably cleared
tte state by this time. Warren may
recover, though his wounds are se¬
rious, Both partial are from Selma,

As an effort is being made to get
the State Alliance Exchange located
here, the following interview with
Captain Felix Corput, president of
tbe Exchange, by a Macon Evening
News reporter, wiU be of special inter-
60t e
Captain Corput is an indefatigable
worker in the cause of the alliance,
holds high position in its councils,
and is very popular with alliance-
men.
The reporter had a short, Junning
conversation this morning with
Capt. Corput on the subject of tte
Exchange.
“Capt. Corput,” asked the report¬
er, “what is the next mare in regard
to tte Exchange?”
“The committee composed of Felix
Corput, president', W. J. Northen,
vice-president; William A. Brough¬
ton, treasurer and W. S. -Ledbetter,
secretary, will address a circular let¬
ter to the mayor and council of sev¬
eral cities in the State, Atlanta, Au¬
gusta, Macon and other points, in-
viting offers in money and realty, for
the location of the headquarters,
warehouse and storage rooms of tte
Exchange, and the city making the
beet inducements, and proposition
will receive the Exchange."
“What benefit will the Exchange
do tte place that receives it?”
“Thateity willA># fortunate in more
ways than one. There are 2071 sub-
Alliances in the State and the city
will become the direct trading point
of these Alliances. The membership
of these Alliances is over 100,000
men, and they will take a natural in¬
terest in the place that is headquar¬
ters of their Exchange, and they will
talk about it jnst as they speak of
the county that contains their farm
and home. They will have an inter¬
est in the city, and 100,000 men
coming to and talking about the city
will advertise it greatly. The ware¬
house and storage rooms will form a
nice piece of realty which will be of
profit and advantage to the town in
which it is situated. Then again it is
not improbable to suppose that the
annual conventions of the Farmers’
Alliance will be held in that town
wheretheExehangeislocated. These
conventions bring several hundred
men to the city from every section of
the State, and the hotels, stores and
other business places receive an im¬
mediate benefit in consequence, and
when the delegates return home they
talk about the town where the con¬
vention was held and thus much ad¬
vertisement is given to the place.”
“Of what special benefit will the
Exchange be to the lanners?”
“It is almost incalculable. It will
enable them to buy supplies of all
kinds at not more than 8 per cent in¬
terest, whereas they now pay exhor-
bitant rates, anywhere from fifty to
one hundred per cent. The Exchange
will be a great option house, a grand
distributing depot. The Alliance
men will not be forced, of course, to
buy at the Exchange, for the Ex¬
change will print a schedule of prices
at which goods can be bought at the
Exchange, and these schedules will
be sent to the termers throughout
the State andthey can take a printed
list to the country merchant and
show him at what figures goods can
be bought at the Exchange, and the
farmer will say to the merchant!
‘now here are the prices at which I
can buy at the Exchange. If you
are willing to sell me goods at the
some price I will buy from you, but,
if not, I will buy from the Exchange’
—“and thus you see,” said Captain
Corput, “the Exchange becomes an
option house for tb* farmer.”
“Will Alliancemen ship cotton to
the Exchange warehouse?”
"Oh, yes, and the Exchange will
handle and sell it for them at the
right time and the best market price,
and at much less expense' than any
other medium.”
“There are quite a number of oth¬
er points of benefit and profit in the
Exchange both to the farmer and the
city in which it will be located, but I
haven’t time to dwell longer now, as
I must hasten to return home.”

SUPERIOR COURT.
It Adjourns in Forsyth to Moet Here
Today. /
His Honor Judge Boynton opened
court in Forsyth yesterday morning
and after t ransacting such business as
could be done without a jury adjourn¬
ed until the first Monday in Novem¬
ber. The reason for adjournment is
the absence of Col. Bob Berner and
Judge Jno. I. Hall in the legislature,
both being connected with so many
cases that the docket could not be
successfully gone through without
them.
Spalding Superior Court will meet
in adjourned session here this morn¬
ing at nine o’clock and continue for
a few days. Today will be devoted to
hearing motions. Tomorrow the
jury will reconvene and criminal
cases will be taken up.
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, by purifying and en-
rich'ng the blood, improves the appetite, aid*

therefore, the best and mOBt thoronghly re-
liable aternative that can be found for old
and yonng.
