THE TRIAL OF Hit. BItIGOS. The New Vork Presbytery is engaged in the trial of Hev. Charles A. Briggs for heresy, that eminent divine having ex pressed some doubt as to tbe verbal lu- spiration of the Scriptures. According to the New Vork Herald, Dr. Briggs “is greatly respected as a scholar and loved as a man; has led a holy life, without the suspicion of a sus picion or the shadow of a shadow. He accepts the BIblo as his rule for to-day, and his authority for a hope in the to morrow. But whether Inspiration ex- tends beyond the substance of the book to its language Is a matter which he thinks should he left to the careful and thoughtful student.” Under such conditions. Dr. Briggs is doubtless a very good man, and may be a sincere Christian. But the question Is, is lie a good Presbyterian ? That is where ail the preachers who figure in trials for heresy seem to make their mistake. They diverge from the orthodox teachings of the particular sect to which they profess allegiance and seem to expect the sect to go with them. They consider themselves reformers and make a great outcry when tboy are held up as heretics. Martin Luther was a great and good man, and by the Protestant world it is considered that he accomplished a great work. But from a Catholic point of view Luther was. a heretic, and it would be very ridiculous if it wore insisted that bo was a good Romanist. Dr. Briggs has a right, of course, to question the verbal inspiration of tbe Bible, but he ahouid know that in doing so he contradicts the canon, of his' church, and he lias no right to remain a minister of that church unless lie can conscientiously preach its doctrines. He is unquestionably a heretic in his attitude towards the Presbyterian church, and his plea of not guilty is ab surd.—Ago Herald. Rvdiki is cooling down. His latest utterance docs not indicate war, but give* os to understand that the Italian government will take what it can get, or perhaps would be satisfied with a lit tle less. Tue one good thing accomplished by the late congress should be celebrated with a big oandy palling, and Bill Mc Kinley should be made master of cere monies. Free sugar is a blessing to the whole country, Jones, of St. Louis, Is receiving the attention of the press of the whole country, and tbe notices are not very complimentary. Ills attacks on Judge Crisp may bring him fame, but it is not the kind to arouse honest pride. Mbs. Martin, who is on trial for her life at Birmingham, for killing her brother-in-law, has already aroused the sympathy of the publio, and the indica tions point to a verdict of not guilty. It is against the law to hang a pretty woman. The Holiness Association has selected Indian Springs aa a camp-ground and a tabernacle Is to be erected there at once upon a tract of fourteen acres wbieh the citizens have donated near the famous spring. The camp-maotlng will be held sometime in July or August. The New York Herald of Saturday devoted thirteen columns to an elaborate report of the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the New York Tribune, and in a graceful edito rial complimented It* Republican con temporary on Its remarkable progress. The Dougherty County Alliance has lustroeted Its delegates to vote against the re-election of President Livingston for the reason that they believe it to be contrary to both the letter and spirit of the constitution of the Farmers' Alli ance.

The president will learn a good deal while traveling through tbe South that ho should know. It must make the cup of the old iron Chancellor’s bitterness nearly full to find that in addition to the setting down given him by the German Kmperor, be failed to win a seat in the reichstag, and will have to run again against an un known socialist to settle the question of the election. While Bismarck got near ly twice as many votes as his socialist opponent, he failed of a majority of all tbe votes cast. He sat back on liia dig nity and refuted even to isaue an address to tbe voters; bcnce, with Democratic in dependence, tber refused to turn out to the polls. M r.N.C. Edwards Ua happy man.

Tiik Cincinnati Enquirer contains a detailed account of the process by which James Storroy, of Kansas City, will manufacture eggs under a patent pro cess that will leave the lion nothing to do but to cackle. Mr. Storrcy’s process is very simple, and yet lie is prepared to manufacture an artificial egg that a con- noissuer will find it difficult to distin guish either In appearance or taste from the prime product of a Plymouth Ityck or Leghorn. Lime, water, blood, milk, tallow, peas and one or two other vege tables are the ingredients of bis com pound. The shell and the yolk will not be difficult of manufacture. To make a good Imitation of the “white” qf tho egg is the part that has required the most ingenuity to conquer, but Mr. Stor- rey has succeeded in solving the prob lem successfully. Tests have been made which show that the artificial ogg can be preserved for a month under proper conditions, and still taato as fresh as one laid by an ordinary hen. As all the in gredients of this reform egg are exceed ingly cheap, it can be manufactured at the rate of about three cento a dozen. There will be no limit to the capacity of the novel mill, and families and board ing house keepers can be supplied at prices so dazxllngly smalt os to warrant immediately popularity. OtlR TAX BATE. There is no question that more vital ly affects the prosperity of our city than the rate of taxation. A low rate of mu nicipal taxation is a standing invitation to people to come into our midst and invest, while an unduly high rate is re garded with suspicion as indicating had management or extravagance. Tiie time has come when a note of alarm must bo sounded in Americus, and the article of “Tax Payer” elsewhere this morning is quite apropos, and com mends itself to tbe sense and good judgment of every citizen of Americus. To meet the issue squarely it might as well be said plainly that our rate ol tax ation is too high by J to j of one per cent. Americus cannot continue to prosper with a tax rate of 1.45, and the sooner we meet this issue the better. People here witli money will not build houses to pay taxes on at a rate much higher than the income would justify, and above that of other cities; and outsiders will stay where they are and invest in other places where taxes are lower. Tbe tax rate ought to be materially reduced; can it be done, and if so, how? The Tihes-Recordkii calls attention to this very important question for the purpose of eliciting the views of tbe tax payers, and getting suggestions as to the remedy. What say such large tax pay ers as Messrs. Johnson & Harrold, Thornton Wheatley, J. W. Sheffield <fc Co., C. M. Wheatley, E. J. Eldridge, and scores of others none the less interested because their holdings are smaller? Shall our taxes be reduced? If so, how? TELEPHONE 93. BEALL 4 OAKEY. TELEPHONE 93.

It must be remembered that the South will bare to compete with tho finest exhibits that money can secure from the North western and Western states, from Mex- ioo and from Central and South America. It will be a critical time in the South'! history. Shall Its vast mineral, timber and agricultural wealth be adequately represented, or will the South (ail to measure up m its opportunity?

A LADY whose fame has within the last-year or two grown far beyond tiie limits of lior native Goorgia, is visiting relatives and friends in Macon.

Ryington, on Cherry street. Recently, tiie celebrity of Mrs E. T. Byington has been widely increas ed by the publication of her portrait in tiie Illustrated American, of New York City, together with a sketch of her re markable* achievements In journalism, and especially in founding tiie Women's Press Club. The people of Perry and Houston county, where her early youth was passed, are very proud of this lady, who is as remarkable for her gracious and attractive personality os tor her mental gifto —Telegraph. The Manufacturers’ Record of this week contains a long and elaborate re view by Robert P. Porter, superintend ent of the consus, of the industrial and agricultural progress of the South dur ing tbe last ten years, based on the offi ciai statistics of tiie census. Supt. Por ter at the beginning of his articlo, refer ring to tlio wonderful progress of the South during the last decade, Bays: “The mineral development and increaso in manufactures during the period lias boon of such importance as to seriously attract the attention of the world. The South is to-day producing as much coal, iron ore and pig iron ns the entire United States did in 1870. Witli a fact like this established by official statistics, it is not to be wondered at that as careful a sta- tician as Edward Atkinson should say that, standing on top of tiie highest peak of tbe Great Smoky mountains, he would find in a radius of seventy-five miles the future iron producing center of the Unitod States. Those who live in the South and In the midst of all this progress know it and realize it better than the people here in tiro North. To my mind the progress of the Southern states in the manufacture of stool will bo as groat during tiie next ton years as it has been in the production of coal and pig iron daring tiie past decade.” A learned savant of Columbia col lege, New York, lias been earning his salary by an investigation of the occult relation existing between tho rod-lieadod girl and the white liorso, and he readies tho conclusion that no sucli connection exists as is so generally maintained, but he oxpiains tho coincidence by saying that white horses aro sufficiently numer ous to supply every city and town in the country with one for each block. But the learned doctor fails to explain why it ii, that though white horses may be ever ao numerous, not one will be seen for hours unless a red-headed girl turns up. If this a fair specimen of the pro duct of higher education, it Is not 'to*be wondered at that collegiate education is getting to be rated below par. College professors must solve the compound problem of white horse and red-headed girls, or resign. Tbe march of scientific discovery must not be oheeked by the decompoeiag remains of such men as the Columbia professor being left In the highway, to make the white horse shy, when he Is in duty-bound to come along and meet the girl of his affinity as she turns the corner. Kki’I'Lbii’h cartoons in Puck, it Is said, have offended Emperor William, and tho police have received orders to prevent the circulation of the paper in tho German Empire.
