The .Soutli was pictured as a hot-house of w’ealth and leisure. In the Hampton ami WiiErlki: were the j world of letters, we are told, the South highest cavalry oilicers in the Confeder-1 ^one by reflected light, and the point is ate service. Doth were lieutenant gen* | ma dc that “merely by their connection Amerieus, Ga., April 28, 1891. erals. with the North has the South been saved from sinking to the level of the Antilles and Moxico.” This is the deliberate With the true Kontucky idea of the danger of water as a beverage, it is charged that the recent poisoning of sixty people at a wedding was caused by drinking water. Connecticut, Rhode Island and New Hampshire are without a republican form of government, otherwise they would have democratic governors and senators, and the United States Senate would be democratic. Naw Orleans is getting up a sub scription to build a monument to Chief-, of-Polico Hennessey, who was murdered I av « r ” ent about a " cction whlch h “ fur ' by the Malta. About *7,000 is sought to ! ul8,,e<1 America with soldiers, scl.olars be raised j an< * statesmen from the foundation. Mr. Page allowed that the secession doctrine arose in the North, and that Now Eng land had several times conspired to break up the Union. “Thus it is,’ truthfully declares file Atlanta Constl tntlon, “that the South goes on making history without encouraging Iiei sons to writ' it."—Augusta Chronicle Tiik people of Mississippi aro begin ning to find out how tho sulTrage-re striding clauses of their new constitu tion will work. AnowspapcrcorrespoO' dent at .Jackson writes that tho require ment of the payment of the $2 poll tax os a pre-requisite for voting will disfran clilse about 25,000 persons—2,500 of whom ate whites. The requirement that the voter shall be able to read any clause of the constitution or show a clear com prehension of its' meaning when it lias been read to him, will bar out about 50,000, of whom not more one-fiftieth, it is estimated, will ho whites. Tho total vote will therefore bo 75,000 less than if every man went to the polls, and more than 70,000 of the loss will fall on the negroes. Tho law is practically the same as that of Massachusetts, whore the effect, however, is to exclude only a few persons from the polls, mostly foreigners. The effect will doubtless be to stimulate tho desire for education and especially study of tho constitution Nobody can dony that this will bo well for the state. Each year, perhapB, will see a decrease in the number of illiterate voters. In tho meantime, white control of Mississippi seems assured.—Tele graph. The fact that Governor Hogg did not appoint Hoger Q. Mills to fill out Kea- gan's unexpired term is considered in Washington as rather a black eye fur that gentleman's senatorial ambition, but ills friends declare that he did not want it at this time. They say that lie would prefer to round out Ills career in tho house with a term of speaker before going to tho Senate. A bird in hand is worth a whole drovo in tho swamp, and if Mr. Mills could have got the sena torial appolntmont, he has made a groat intstake to let the chance slip to got in. Mills cannot lie speaker ol the house; and tho nearest ho can come to it, if he ever gets that near, is to so divido the Democratic forces os to defeat Judgo h will never ho Speaker Mills. Coi.. J. Thomas Sciiauf, the Mary land historian, has presented a valuable collection of Americana to Johns Hop kins University. Tho greatest value of the gift lies, however, in the abundance of valuablo materials for a history of the Southern Confederacy. Sknatok Kkaoan has resigned to be come chairman of the state railway commission of Texas, and Governor Hogg will appoint Horace Chilton, of Tyler to succeed him from Juno 10, when lteogan goes out. Chilton is a brilliant lawyer, about 55 years old. Con. H. J. Ibby, of Eufaula, lias ad ded his name to the long list of perpetual motion cranks. Ho hns got it sure, and It is the same old gravity wheel witli one heavy side and one light one, that is to go like a one-winged chicken flying. Let Col. Irby wipe off his chin, crawl In his hole and pull tho perpetual motion in after him. Cincinnati makes it a point to have a handsome exhibition every year. Her merchants present their patrons of the Ohio Valley with free tickets to Cincin nati. Tills is the way the Queen City holds her place in the West, and her ex ample might be imitated with profit by some Georgia cities, who want to ln- orsase their trade. Kiiitoii Gcnn,of Ciithbert,has come out squarely against “oflicial organs” for the Alliance, because os he allogcs tho so- .called organ of the order In Atlanta has boycotted him and lits paper. If thcro is anything In a name, tho rip roariout I.ary had better quit coquetting wllli Wanamaker and get holiind the breast works out ol tho rango of the lire of Editor Gunn, of Cutlibort. The New Turk Herald of Sunday con tains twenty-one pages of advertisements ... set in solid reading type, at thirty cents) doi "«’ per line, tho ngregato cost of which, fur that single day, was $8,500, Tho mer chants ol Amerieus are hereby advised that It will not cause tho business stall' of The Times-Hecoiuieb to throw op tho spongo in disgust, if such a similar rush of business is forced upon tliu col umns of this paper next Sunday. Since Lee and Johnston laid down their arms ‘n 1805, no memorial day lias been more generally observed than that of Sunday-Monday of 1801. All over tho land the most extensive preparations were made for speeches and other cere monies, and it Is safe to say that the veneration felt by our people for the pa triotic dead was nevor more strongly • exhibited than on this twenty-sixth an niversary of tho death of the Confed eracy. The New York Press Is the first of the leading Republican papers of tbe coun try to advocate tbe repeal of tho law which prohibits ax-Confederate veterans from serving as officers In the United StaU; army, and it expresses the hope that tbe repeal will bo made by the Democratlo house and the Republican senate of the fifty-second congress when It meets next December. It is high time that this law framed in sectional hate will be swept from the statute books. The senior class of Cornell selected Col. Robert Q. IngersoU to deliver the annual address before the law sohool, but tbe faculty have vetoed this choioe and substituted Prof. Charles A. Collin. Whlla Colonel Bob Is one of the most brilliant lawyers of tbe day, Cornell was probably afraid he would work la some of bis peculiar style of theology with the same degree of success that he managed the star route case* some years ago, to the dls, rust of the people of tbe United States. Toe New York Journal of Commeroe says: The non-denomlnational Colored Connell of Human Rights, composed of colored ministers of Pittsburg, Pa., met and passed some very bitter resolutions regarding the way they claim to have been treated In the north. They denounce real estate firms especially for refusing to rent them houses and driv ing them into settlement!, and closed by re dvlng thut greater discrimination e it ts igMust the oegro In tbs north • IS' u no south. The Lumpkin Independent, noticing tbe retirement of Judge Fort from the Circuit, says: This is Judgo Fort’s last term of hold ing court in this county. Who his suc cessor will bo wo cannot say, but wo think tho pooplo throughout this judi cial district would bo well pleased with Hon. R. F. Watts as judge of the South western circuit. He Is a learned gentle man of ability, distinction and And em inence In the legal profession, and his fame as a skillful jurist is commensurate with tho boundaries of the state. He will have tho hearty endorsement of a large part of our people. L. H. Path.i.o, writing in tho Augusta Chronicle, says: “Y’ou may look out for squalls in the ranks of the Georgia Alii ance. The Northen and Livingston fac tions arc now facing each other, and heavy artillery is being trained for a de cisive battle. Nothing can avert a crisis. Diplomatic manipulation and strategic manoeuvre may delay it, but a clash is bound to eome, and the result will leave a political grave into which will be shov eled the vanquished foe. From the mountains to the seaboard there is a howl for blood, and the war dogs are chafiDg to be loosed.” The Chilian war has bocomo tho most brutal and bloody of modern times, and is little better than a savage butchery of helplees men, women and children by fiends drunk with human blood. It would seem that the Chilians are a race of people who are unfit for self govern ment, as they slaughter the old and the young with the mad fury of barbarians upon the very threshold of their magnifi cent cathedrals. The accounts of the destruction of life, which the telegraph brings dslly.are horrible In tbe extreme. Anna Dickinson created a sensation by herleoture at the Broadway theatre, New York, Sunday night, the first since her release from the asylum. She opened her address upon “Personal Liberty,” with a violent attack upon the republi can party, and with hitter words against various perrons prominent in public iife. Her personal allusions were, in many In stances, repugnant to decency, and ladies who occupied orchestra chairs arose, and with their escorts, left tho theatre. ECONOMY IN COOKING. Last week Edward Atkinson, tho New England economist, delivered two lectures at Columbia College, New York, on the art of cooking, and lie illustrated them with ovens and dinner pails which ho has invented, and which he believes will revolutionize the art and will solve social questions that aro now troubling tile people, Mr. Atkinson calls his oven the Aladdin, and it is to solve social problems by reducing the cost of living. The average amount spent for food by people in the United States is 50 cents a day each. Mr Atkinson says that at present prieos for food products it is impossible for a person to cat more than 25 cents wortli of food a day, and that overy cent that is spent over that amount is deliberately wasted. He says tiiat the workingmen- who now spends 8- or *2.50 a week Cor ids food can have just as Hindi to eat for *1, and can have more nutritious food at tho same time if he practices economy in buying and cooking, while the wealthy man who spends fabulous amounts for ills food can cut his expenses down one-liaif, and can have in substance what lie lias now. “Nine-tenths at the people in the United States;’’ says Mr. Atkinson, “spend one- half their income annually for food, and exactly one-half of that amount Is wasted.” BEALL & OAKLEY.

KLUTTZ, ARCHITECT AND SUPERINTENDENT, • Amerieus, Georgia. Lamar *treet—over Holt’». 2-1-ljr W. Tiik Republicans of Nyv York are not happy, because tbe convention of the Farmers’ Alliance of Ilornellesville, de veloped the fact that the membership of tbe organization in New York numbers not less than 23,000 and that sub al liances are dally being organized in the rural districts. The politicians are al ready alarmed at the growth of the farmers’ movement, and they candidly confess that they do not know what effect it will have in the state election this fall or the presidential campaign next year. The Republicans are alarmed because all the Alliances in New York are in favor of tariff reform, and the majority of the farmers there have heretofore voted with tho Republican party. If the Farmers’ Alliance is gain ing anything like the headway in the New Fngland states that.it is in New York, the Republican party in tbe presidential fight is pretty sure to get a repetition of the dose they had last November. Tiik speech of Mr. Wolcott, the presi dent of the Massachusetts Republican Club, denounces Quay, and charging the loss of thousands of votes to the fact that Quay has been permitted to remain at the head of the National Republican Committee after it had been shown that he was a corruptionist, has had the ef fect of waking Quay up to tho danger his leadership will invite to his party. The statement is now made by the New York Press, that Quay will resign the chairmanship oif the National Commit tee. It is quite probable that Col. Clark son will take tho position, .as he U con sidered to be tho equal of Quay as a wire puller and boodle hnndlor, and tho ser vices of such a man aro absolutely nec essary to the proper conduct of a Re publican campaign. The Press says Quay will retire in November aftei the fall elections are over. BARGAIN WEEK! -THOSE widths An kioiit-iveil well, which is being sunk near Wheeling In a search for oil or gas, lias readied a depth of 4,100 feet, Botli oil and gas liavo been struck throughout in paying quantities. It lias gone through several thick veins of coal and has traversed layers of gold quartz, iron and numerous other minerals. After the well lias been sunk to tho lepth of one mile, tho government will take up the work and, under the direc tion of two expert officers of the geologi cal survey, drill into the earth as far as human skill cnn penetrate. It is the ex pectation that the tea springs on the other side will bo tapped, and that (lowing artesian tea wells will be suc cessfully operated. By this moans the McKinley tariff will get another black eye, if the ten Is of that variety. The pauper labor which the coal and iron barons ol Pennsylvania imported Into that state from Europe, is proving to bo decidedly expensive. Several com panies of state troops are required to as sist In the eviction of the strikers In the coke region and It Is estimated that it is costing the state about $2,000 a day to keep the troops in the field. Jay Gould says he has been a ball ever since the November panic. There Is no better sign of returning prosperity than such an announcement, if true. It Is always easier to pull down than to build up, and the fact that Jay is not now proposing to pull down, shows that the country Is at bard pan bottom, and that any movement must be upward.
