THE TIMES PUBLISHING COMPANY, Ameiicus, Ga. Amerious, Ga., May 22, 1801. A Providence, R. I., woman Is su ing for a divorce from her husband, a preacher, because he publicly pro tested against ber wearing low-necked dresses. Judge Caldwall, of the United States circuit court, has decided that the life insurance policy is not made void by suicide. Iu making this decis ion he olny follows the decision of other courts. m. S Hojr, John. T. Hoifkiim.kt, editor of the Macon News, lias accepted an in vitation to deliver the address before the graduating class of Prof. Caulkins, at Chattanooga. Tlio closing exercises will occur at the opera house, Thursday evening, May 28, at 8 o’clock.—Chatta nooga News. For the week onded last .Saturday the deaths in the city uf Chicago reached a total of 007—an increase of more tiian 3 per cent, over tbo preceding week, and with an increase of nearly 10 per cent, in the mortality from the zymotic or filth diseases. Based on a population of 1,‘200,000 this is an annual death rate of 28.00 per thousand. Chicago would do well to thoroughly cleanse herself in time for the Columbian exposition, for she seema to need It badly. "Mark the prediction!” says the Aberdeen (Miss.) Weekly. "Tho Mis sissippi alliance will, when the time comes, bold its sub-treasury proclivities Subservient to its love for the democratic party. Its members know, as we all know, that the onjy salvation possible to the south lies by and through this great and long-lived party, and to desert it or ■trike it would bo to commit political suicide.” That is a statement of facts that will be endorsed by an overwhelm, ing majority of the farmers of Missis- R *ippi- The New York Herald commenting on tie fact the south has trebled her wealth within the past ten years, takes occasion to say: Tbs south has rolled up Its sleevae and pro- pows to be rleb again—richer than ever. It . bw all the nstural resources whleb attract capital and enterprise. Young men from the nortb on the lookout for a career are making Inveetmenta then, helping to de velop tbe country, and they always receive a warm welcnaie. The tides of population, kept apart»l< ng, are mlnsllng their waters, ana unless the politicians ral'O a row th.ro won’t beany north or any south twenty- year, from now, and In their stead wa shall have a united, contented and prosperous country, ■John Young Brown, the democratic nominee for governor of Kentucky, owes this political honor to a spirited, pretty and ambitious young daughter. Tbe young lady is about eighteen yeara old, and very proud of her father. Mr, Brown has avoided politics for yeara, although ■exceedingly popular in Kentucky, By ■her winning persistence tbe daughter •finally gained ber father’s laughing con sent to become a candidate for governor, ■and before ho could retract, she hurried ■to the Courier-Journal office and enlisted ■the aid of Mr. Watteraon, who thiough his paper told Kentucky democrats that ■Mr. Brown would accept the nomination. The remit was the enthusiastic nomina tion of Mr. Brown, and there la no prouder or happier girl in the land than his pretty daughter. A talented, ambi tious woman has often accomplished political achievements that tho more brainy sterner sex could not devise ways and means to master. Man triumphs. Woman, who sheds the perfume of her heart, tho strength of her mind and the toils of soul and body to win glo rious laurels for him, desires only the loving approval of bis gracious amiles. The world goes on, and tier silence is golden. “Good rye, old party, good bye," says the delegates to the Cincinnati con vention. But the fine voice of brother Livingston, of Georgia, produced a dis cordant note in what otherwise might have been a harmonious melody. The eagle allianceman tang aloud: “In tbe Sweet Bye and Bye we will meet you, but as democrats we must come." Col. Lividgston still pins bis faith to the grand old party. Be tbinka the demo cratic party may be relied on to grant his faction—“tbe alliance”—all tbe de mands they will hare need to ask. It behooves the south to protect her agri cultural Interests and favor wise legisla tion, bnt she bad better go slow on new departures. They knocked us winding once, and all the south is now interested in is a reduction of the. tariff, the stop page of the enormous drain on the treas ury to pay fraudulent pensions, and a larger circulating currency. This re lief the demoeretie party promisee, if victorious. CoL Livingston says wait, and give her a •chance to redeem the pledge. Let the alliance trust the true and tried old party. Go in and help * her whip the-fight, and the days of strikes, bard times and depression will be things only remembered by the re publican bosses who figured on the wrong side. TBE GEORGIA BAR ASSOCIATION. On yesterday adjourned in Columbus one of tbe most liberal, and at tbe same time, conservative bodies that ever as sembled in Georgia The annual meet ing of the Georgia bar association had been in session for two days. With due respect for all other profes sions, we doubt if the legal profession will yield to any in intelligence, conser vatism, or any other of the elements that go to make up valuable citizenship, For centuries their profession has been the object of abuse from the igno rant and of ridicule from tbe wits. The profession has borne it all witli philoso phic indifference, and gone on making the world wiser and better. Broad minded and patriotic, tbe lovers and promulgators of the truth and honest, wise government, they have ever been tbo leaders In all civilized governments. Chief Justice IUtndall is supposed to have received an exceptloual compli ment after death when “rare Ben Jonson” wrote this as his epitaph: “God works wonders now and then; Here lies a lawyer—an li nest man." Never did the rare old poetic genius utter a more bitter, uncalled for, sian deroits insinuation. Tlie members of the bar association which has just adjournod arc as neces sary tojthe perpetuation of order, peace, happiness and prosperity as the tillers of the soil, the wieldersof tho hammer, tbe managers of the spindle and loom, the expounders of tho scriptures or the al leviators of physical suffering, lie who maligns this noble profession is either ignorant, or vicious. Tlieso gentlemen have the best inter est of their country at heart. No peo ple can maintain their liberty or their prosperity without their presence and their watchful care. The association did much good. Any reader and any thoughtful mind must see upon consid ering its proceedings that lore of truth, justice and right, good wilt to men and to the nation, were not only exhibited, but unselfishly exhibited. Long may tho state have such intelligent, noble, vigilant sentinels upon its watch tower as tbe membets of the Georgia Bar as soclation. The Times-Recohder trusts that not m.ny yeara will have elapsed before this body will soe fit to meet in our own fair city. It will he better, wiser and more prosperous for having entertained so broad minded a sot of gentlemen LIVINGSTON’S GOOD WORK. The constituents of Hon. L. F. Living, ■ton, his friends, and even his opponents must admit that he has done good work at Cincinnati. Colonel Livingston, although known to be opposed to a third party, was heard with attention In the caucus of the delegates to tho Cincinnati conven tion. He did not mince matters, but put his bearers on notice that, If they organized a third party, seventeen south ern and western states would take no part in it In plain words that could bo understood the Georgian said that the southern alliance owed a great deal to the demooratio party, and could not break away from it. He would make no promise for the future. He said that the democratic house should be given a chance next winter to do something for the relief of the people. If it should be guilty of tbe preposterous folly of Igno ring the demands of the people for re form, then it would be time to talk about a third party. Colonel Livingston's thorough knowl edge of the situation, hia firmness and bis convincing way of putting the case staggered the wild third party men, and colled them down considerably. It is plain, even to the casual observer of the political events, that the demo cratic party Is steadily pushing forward on tbe lineof reform demanded by the alliance. United, the two organizations mutt Inevitably win in the campaign of next year; divided, there is no telling what disastrous results may follow. There Is good reason for congratula tion all round over the Georgia alliance- man's course a" Cincinnati.—Atlanta Constitution. TBE SOUTH'S LUMBER INTEREST AT THE WORLDS FAIR. The proposed scheme of the lumber men of the south to pool their cash and build a wooden palace In which all the valuable and beautiful wood speci mens of the south could be displayed at the World's fair la a move in the right direction. The timber lands of the south are very much sought after by investors north and east, and much larger prices might be obtained by sellers if this valuable in dustry was properly advertised. As yet no definite plans has been adopted. One man has suggested that speci mens of each valuable tree of the south bo transplanted to tbo Worlds fair grounds, holding that such a grove, for a grove it would really be, would bo an educator of the highest value. One plan suggested, that meets with a favorable reception, is for the erection of a cottage, to be constructed entirely of southern standard woods. The build ing is to bo three stories high, commodi ous in extent, and fitted up with south ern mado furniture, using southern woods in the construction, the cottage to have elegant grounds and conservatory attachment, in which orange, lemon, bananas, palmetto and other peculiarly southern trees should grow, the whole to be lavishly decorated and brightened by southern flowers. This move is one in which the Georgia lumbermen and land owners are very much interested. Much of the wealth of tbe state consists in tbe magnificent pine forests, but this Industry baa suf fered for the want of capital to develop, A gold mine Is worthless to tbe owner who has not the wherewith to work it. Railroads must be built through these timber belts, and appliances furnished to handle the enormous output of our mills. Georgia would reap a vast revenue if her timber interests could be judiciously advertised at the Worlds fair. In union thero is strength. Let the lumbermen carry out their sensible and artistic plans, and millions will flow into their treasury. A LONG EXPECTED KICK. The long looked for kick has come at last. The Central railroad refuses to pay its share of the tax heretofore levied on the roads for tho expenses of the railroad commission. The best lawyers have already claimed that the law was unconstitutional and would not stand the test of tbe courts. We have always thought the railroads were wise in pay ing it, however. There is always danger of legislating against the roads. Tne people could very easily be aroused to enacting laws that would not only not do them much good, but inflict great hardship on the corporations. Our commission is an amiable and harmless body, and instead of kicking against a little $12,000 per annum, the railroads would be wise to keep on paying it and direct their efforts to maintaining It as it Is. We say it teems to us tho roads would look at it in that way and wo are very much astonished that the Issue it thus made.—Birmlugham Age-Herald. A Love Hons to U Slat. “My modest, matchless Madeline! Mark my me oulons midnight n-oana; Much mu v- my ineltlur music mean My inudul. tea monotones.” This young man stayed out too late, serenading his lady love. He caught a cold, which developed Into catarrh, but he cured it with Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy, a sovereign tpeciflo for chronlo t, “Cold in the Head,” Catarrhal Headache. It corrects the tainted breath, stops tbo offensive discharges, heals tbe irritated throat and nose, leav ing the head, clear, and smell and taste nnlmpared. It costs but 50 cents, and the proprietors offer in good faith $500 for a caso they cannot euro. The late Duke of Bedford's income, apart from his personal estate or from his enormous property in London, ap pears to have been $750,000, May seems to bo the festive month, the auspicious time set apart for con ventions ami gatherings of all the prom inent orders, social, commercial and re- llgiuus. Brunswick by the sea lias cap tured tho dentists and Knights of Pyth ias, and la dealing out genuine good cheer and hospitality to a largo num ber visiting the city this week. Savan nah is banqueting and toasting the grand council of the Royal Arcanum of the state. Birmingham haa just been drown ing the Baptist with a flood of good things, and is now listening to the prom ises of many wise Presbyterians who are assembled in her midst. Mobile, the beautiful Magnolia city, is honored with the presence of the grand conclave of Knights Templar. Columbus is receiv ing Inspiration from the Georgia Bar association. Americas has representa tives in most of these cities, who have doubtless enjoyed their May holiday to the utmoet. They will return with words of praise for the growing cities of Alabama and Georgia, whose hospitable eftixens ever do the grand act for all vis itors.
