South.
It hag built two large cotton factories,
»p resenting $ 250 , 000 , and shipping goods
over the world.

It has attracted around its borders fruit
rowers from nearly every State in the Union

zospitable and cultured people and a soi

perate or semi-tropic zone, Griffin offers
every inducement and a hearty we me to

sum of 42 dollars, and the party
who bought it began tearing it down
for removal from the lot on Wednes¬
day, which was his birthday. It is a
strange coincidence which will not
happen, prohably ever again.
Snelson Defeated.
Hon. A, J. Snelson, who was a con¬
spicuous member of the last house,
and who was a candidate for the
senate, was defeated Wednesday by
Hon. J. M. Terrell. Mr. Snelson will
therefore be missed from the next
legislature, and a new man will have
to take up his notions of reform.
The test was in the th'rty-sixth,
and both candidates claimed to be
densecratic nominees. Snelson car¬
ried Douglas county by about fifty
votes and Campbell by about three
hundred and fifty. Terrell had a
sweeping wether, victory in Coweta and Meri¬
and has a majority of
several hundred in the district.

THAT MOST ODIOUS ACT.
Stop th e Matrimonial Paper*.

These matrimonial papers outfit

that matrimony is a pure lottery ?

A Significant Fact.
8avannah Times.
It is remarkably strange that all
of the arrests and seizures of papers
for violations of the anti-lottery law
are confined to Democratic editors
and Democratic papers in the South.
Holy John ought to turn his eyes
Northward for a little relief.

Why Doesn’t Editor Miles Take a
Columbus Enquirer-Sun.
The Philadelphia Press remarks :
•‘The young men who for years
squandered their dollars in purchas¬
ing Lousiana lottery tickets will now
have a chance to invest in marriage
licenses—another kind of lottery
tickets.” Perhaps, but the prizes
outnumber the blanks in the mar¬
riage lottery.
The Loss of a Cherished Bight.
Columbus Enquirer-Sun.
The feature in the bill which 1 b
pulsive, and which had the opposit¬
ion of even those papers that
vigorous in their endeavors to secure
the suppression of the lottery, is the
dangerous control it gives the
master General, in allowing him to
open and investigate private
matter upon the; mere suspicion
it contains money or checks for
tery tickets. Such espionage of
mails is repugnant to every
sentiment and it would seem
many of the Senators and
tatives cannot possibly be aware
the full scope of tho bill they
passed. The inquisitorial
granted the Postoffice
by this bitUwttl assuredly arouse
position and resentment,
as the manner in which it has
rushed through both houses
debate engenders suspicion
there was some ulterior object
securing this authority to
the mails. The people of this
try have cherished as an
right the protection of their
correspondence, but under this
that right no longer exists.
