In the first .place, we thought that through rates had been pledged by tWe Central’ railroad, hut wo find that the cost of shipping cotton pyer this road to Andersonvllle is twelve cents per hundred and from Andorsonville to Macon is twenty four cents, making thirty-six cents per hundred from this place to MacOn; “whereas” if wo had through freight rates the cost would be twenty-five cents per hundred. Now there is no need to try to disgujee, the fact thkt such disadvantages hurt, especially when we are trying to "compete with Americus. I am not sorry that wo have the railroad, not by any means, but would like to see things a litlie more even. The freight and passenger traffio has exceeded the expectations of the directors and it is so convenient. The road will be finished to Buena Vista by Christmas and then we will get through rates, I hope. A Primitive Baptist minister preached at the Baptist church not long since, and there was not a fe male in the Congregation. About twenty-live men were out to hear him. The 3inglng sounded awful queer. Cotton is st’ll coming in, and our merchants aro happy. More goods hath been sold here this fall than any fall since the town was laid out. .. A hardware atore would do a big business here. Col. H. H v Jonef, editor of tho Soutlicrn.World, was id town this week, and added many names to his subscription list. Cdl.A. Leo MeCrory and wife, of Oglethorpe, are visiting relatives ttt thc burg.' Dr. C. H. Smith is having his .drift storo painted, and if every house in towp, was painted, it would add no little to the looks of our beautiful yillage. X. Youthful Politicians. Scdt'it Democrat While the voters of the country have been worked up to a great pitch of excitement over tho presi dential election, the enthusiasm and excitement has not been theirs only. It has permeated every avenue of life, and even the little children have been transformed into politi cians, and have debated with each other as earnestly and zealously as though the fate of the country hung upon them. It has been no uncom mon thing to hear a couple of ehil dren, probably not over nine or ten years old, discussing the tariff with all the animation ol a congressman —and with almost a, good judg- mentas some congressmen exercise. The past month has been one of un- usal fun for the youthful population, who have joined in the noise and demonstrations of the older people with great satisfaction, and have made the horns and tin pans pro-. duce the most horrid and discord ant sounds. The excitement hss sharpened the children’s wita, and it has been quite amusing to watob two little ones of opposite politics meet, and taunt each other with sarcastic allusions and political squibs. The little Cleveland girl would repeat with withering; soorn. Cleveland sits in the parlor Talking to the ladies; Blaine site in the kitchen Nursing nigger babiee." Then the little Blaine girl wonld shout out: "Piclcel oats end pickled rats Are good enough for Democrats." This would be replied to by the first saying: "Tin pans and rusty cans Are good enough for Republicans. Then Number Two would sing out: "Blaine and Cleveland. Fighting for a fly; Blaine gave Cleveland Two black eyee." Number One warming up to the situation, replies Blaine went home with a pound ot but ter; Cleveland kioked him in tba gnttar; Logan laid it wasn’t fair, Barium's Cemmlttse. .. j New York, Nay. 20—Messrs. Barnum and Smalley, of the Demo- oratio National Committee, were together at an up-town hotel to day. They were auditing a limit ed number of bills yet remaining, and closing up other matteie .of business incident to the campaign Just closed. The total' amount ot money received by the Democratic National Committee wae $338,000, and of this sum $62,000 wae re ceived through the popular cam paign fund In amounts of Ih* tbah $500. The national beadqiiartert will be entirely vacated to-morrew. Vice-President eleot Bend neks re- ceived a few callers to-day* and then left the Fifth A venae Ho-cl and busted himself with the prepa ration of his speech delivered in Brooklyn to-night. . -■ It is a well-known faet that when hounds get close on to their quarry they are inseniible to all else that is going on. Lately Sir N.-.-de Rothschild's staghounda bed a narrow esoape on the London and Northwestern Railway. Tha train was entering a deep cutting, when the brakes were snddenly applied. On looking out .to ascertain . the cause of the stoppage, Mm passen- gers wc.-o surprised to see a fbU grown stag rushing along the line with the pack of 'hounds ih full pursuit, which wonld certainly imvo been mangled if the engineer had not stopped the train. . - , THE VOTE OF SEW Y0I1K. Tha Avara'ira Democratic Plaialltjr Declared to be 1,140. Albany, N. Y., November 21 The board of state canvassers met at noon to-day- All the member) were present. Secretary Wood announced the footings of the tables as follows; Highest demo- cratio.elector, W. . Priest, 563,153; highest republican elector, Mr. Carsan, 562,005; plurality, 1,149; lowest democratic elector, Mr. Ot- tendorter, 563,048; lowest republi can elector i Mr. Harris, 561,971; plurality, 1;077; highest prohibi tion elector, Mr. ; Miller, 25 006; lowest, Mr. Ellenworth, 24,948; highest Butler elector, Mr. O'Don- ncll.-lT,004; lowest, Mr. Campbell, 16,.761. After this announcement the. members of the board, slgoed the tables and certificates. Hendrieks said he didn’t ears/' Number Two, however, i* not to be blufied thus, but cornea up to the mark with; "Blaine is a gentleman, Cleveland is a fool, Logan rifles a whito hone, Hendrieks rides a mole," A very appropriate answer to this is found by Number One in: “Cleveland is a gentleman, Hendrioks la a man; Blaine la a scoundrel, Whom Logan help! to fan." This worries little Number Two a triflie, but she bravely answers "Cleveland is a wagon, Hendrioks is a horse; Logan is the driver, And Blaine is tho boas." And the talk is kept up until one or the other gets tired and runs off home to “tell my ma.” God bless the little ones, and ever keep them as full of life and spirit as they now are.

Thd’Way To Ho It. ,,A great ileal has been said about our farmers raising their meat. That it pays to do so has been demonstrated by .Mr. W. S. Askew, one of our most thrifty and enter- terprialng farmers. He has raised this year about sixty hogs, and hs« this season sold 44 bead, 36 of which-were sold in this market this week. He realized nearly three ^hundred dollars for them. The cost of those sold be docs not think is more than seventy-five dollars, making a clean profit ol more than two hundred dollars. Besides this lie has a sufficient number in bis pen, waiting for the cold weather, which will be more than sufficient to run him for an other year, and which have not cost him up to the present more than twenty-five dollars. What one can do, all can do, and then our farmers would be the most in- ‘ dependent class on earth.—Coweta The Work en Flint Hrvcr. Nzwrorr, Ga., Nov. 21—The writer, in company with Governor B. F. Budspith, Messrs, W. W. Williams, Sam J. Livingston and P. L. Odom, visited the barge on Flint river, six miles below Now- ton, on tho I7th Instant, and found Mr. Smith, the superintendent, comfortably located on tbe water's edge in bis cottage barge. When we were seated around tbe dinner table it reminded one of the deli cious dinners spread upon tho tables of steamboats. Mr. Smith has the best cook in Baker county, and his bill of fare is second to no hotel’s. Tbe work is progressing finely, and should high water not prevent, the river will be cleaned out to Newton by January first. Colonel Slaughter, tbe general su perintendent of tbe barges on Flint and Chattahoochee rivers, looks al ter tbe business very closely, and no dcubt gives entire satisfaction. Rain is greatly needed in Baker county. Welle that have furnished an abundant supply of water for years have failed, and tho people all over tbe country are hauling water from creeks and ponds. Grace Before Heat. Tbe minister bad been Invited to dinner. While grace wae being said Tom my eyed the unwonted good thing* spread before him with pleasurable anticipation. “Ma.” said be when tbe minister bed concluded, “do you know why pa doesn’t give thanks every day at tbe table.” Hi* mother shot a warning glance at him. “ ’Cause it’e only when tbe mtn- ister’e here tbst we bnve anything worth givln’ thanks for.” A man has walked on the waters of tbe Seine. He hsd etch foot In a small triangular box, securely fastened with straps around hie legs, and tn his hands, be carried a long balanolng pale, similar to those used by rope dancers, except that at each end woe attached'* large inflated bladder. When get: ting off his balance, he dipped the end of the pole, and the resistance censed by the bladder touching the water restored him to bis equilib rium. There is not, according to Ool. Scott, a single bird or beast pro tected by game law* for which England was not originally In debted to some foreign country. Tbe hare came from Northern Asia; tbe rabbit from Africa, whence ke crossed into Spain; tbe pheasant from tbe river Pbatls, in' Asia Minor, from which he de- rlves his name, and the. partridge from Scandinavia and Northern Europe. < . A scientific observer claims that tho flatness of tbe esirtib at, tha pole brings the polar ocean thirteen miles nearer thsn any Other ' por tions of the globe to the central ball of fire, upon which he believw.. tbe earth to be built. Consequent ly, the heat is so great that the-, water could never freeze over, and if there is a eea at that spot at all it mast be an open on*.
