Editor and Manager, THE TIMES PUBLISHING COMPANY, Americas, (h Amoricus, Ga. f Juno 10, 1891. Baccarat has been given a big boon by the London court sensation. Tin great American game Is In danger. It begins to look liko the next na tional campaign will be unmarked by any stump orator alluding to the sur- plus. A New York lawyer is after Steve Ryan, and the reckles. young man may have to answer for his follies in a Yew York criminal court. “Better have scarce money that is good than plenty of money that is bad,’* says the Augusta Chronicle. Better still is it to have plenty of good money. Girls do not play on pianos as much now as they used to, says a Yew York authority. May be Totten is right af ter all, and the millennium not far away. A Yew York German lias had his name legally changed from Hell to Hill. Ills original name was a bar to social and business success. Hereafter lie will be “on it” rather than “in it.” Tiie failure of the Keystone Hank in Philadelphia has besmirched the skirts of Johnnie Wanamakcr. Ho rises to ex plain, but his explanations won't go down. THE CRUCIBLE AND Tin: rt HE COLD. Perhaps the discussion and dissension now rife in the churches " ill prove a blessing Ui disguise. Christianity was horn in strife and bloodshed, and it has lived and thmed upon persecution. The apostles were dispersed by perse cution over the whole known world, but it was like scattering fire, fur they kindled a blaze of religious fervor where-1 ever they went. And then they fell out | among themselves. Paul and Bainabas, j after laboring together in season and ( out of season, fell out at Antioch, and j ntention was so sharp between j them that they departed asunder, one j from the other, and Barnabas sailed j unto Byprus, and Paul went through; Syria and Cilicia. What was the result? Diu their con tention injure the cause of Christiani i:\om tion op lawn tennis. Is lawn tennis on the decline? Will It daily ‘lie out altogether liko croquet? We ha*dly think so. There is more si! sport in the former than in the lat- Icnnis i-* not such a dan- croquet. >t mad with your opponent in ii can whack him over the your mallet, but in lawn ten- n’t get at him before lie has a ini. because there is a netting Then law r us game •n the tv I ting is i opposing sides.

This net- id be at least. 100 feet high, so that an irate player could not get over on- j it, and then the balls could not get over ty? either. This would prevent much trou- A little less for pensions and more pay for the regular army would give us a good standing army with fewer deser tions, and put the people’s money where it Is most needed. Hiflii life in England is not materially different from high life in the states among the men, but our noble women never get mixed up with a game of bac carat or draw poker. The Macon Evening Yews comes out in a new dress, printed on a now press, and shows up handsomely. The Yews ranks with the leading evening papers of the state, and is enjoying a good pa- tronage. All tho big surplus destroyers are ofT duty just now and tho secretary of tlie treasury, whom they put in a hole by their extravagance, lias to shoulder tho * responsibility for tho whole Harrison administration. That “fifty-two” In tho Florida legis lature will becomo as fnmous and bis- torlc as tho Immortal “one hundred and one” who stood fast by Paltner in tho Illinois legislature. These “stayers” * are generally winners. The president of a crackor company In Philadelphia has been found to have been mixed up with the affairs of one of the “busted” banks there. Anything so brittle as a cracker company will hardly do for a bank to tie tot. It is a strange sort of policy which makes the republicans boast so much about the reduction in sugar because of the removal of tho tariff. There are a great many things that need cheapening in this country besides sugar. Bernhardt Is about os eccentric i human being as our race has produced. On her recent voyage to Australia she ollmbed up to the top of tho rigging and recited a French poem. She was shrowd in taking a dark night for hor climb. In the day time it would bo difficult to dis tinguish her from a split sheet. Oharlks Osborn, tho Atlanta mur derer, Is reported to bo in such bad health that the gallows may yet be cheated of its victim. lie lias been vory despondent since the* governor refused to interfere with the sentence of the court and refuses to take nourishment. If he Uvea be will bo hung on the 2Uth Inst. The Boston Post says: “The appear ance of the prince of Walos In the wit ness box has naturally aroused much in terest But the experience of being in a box cannot be unfamiliar to the heir ap parent to the British throne. His dis tinguished mother is credited with just having helped him out of a pretty big fi nancial one.” Ik her essay the school girl w ill tackle the profoundcst problems of life, in the presence of which tho wisest philoso phers have uncovered. She will solve these problems with the greatest of ease, to her own satisfaction, If not that of the audience. In unraveling the * t Tangled skein of life” she nimbly un ties a knot that Alexander would havo been forced to cut with his sword. The Central railroad is leased to tho Georgia Pacific and goes into the hands of the West Point Terminal company. The Terminal has controlled the major ity of the stock of the Central for sev eral years, and there will be very iiule change except in the officials, which has already taken place. The people of Sa vannah are not pleased with the deal, as it is feared that the new owners will not be so favorable to that city as the Cen tral has always been. Not at all. Instead of hurting, it helped. Their adherents became all the more attached to them. Those who wore in different before, now flocked to hear them preach. Perhaps they came out expecting each one to lambaste the the other, but anyway they went out to preaching. That Is the first duty the preachers urge upon the people, to go out to church, for if you don’t go, how can you he benefited ? Then if the people go to church and arc not bcnelittcd, it is the fault of the preacher and not the hearer. So this discussion at the present clay may result in much good. Tho attention of the people is attracted to the cause of Christianity. Their interest is awaken ed, perhaps their curiosity, porehanco tlieir hope of seeing a row, anyway they are moved out of tlieir state of indiffer ence, which preachers tell us is the most hopeless state into which a man can fall. Discussion puts people to thinking, and it is a poor cause indeed that cannot hear tho light of thought.. Believers are strengthened in tlieir belief, and unbe lievers are aroused to the danger of their unbelief. Suppose a church is rent in twain ? That has happened boforo without dam age to the cause of Christianity. Yearly all of tho Protestant churches have been at some time torn asunder. Different, sects aro but tho handiwork of man; the spirit of Christianity is divine. DR. GAILOR AND THE ItlSIIOPKIC. Wo notice a disposition to criticize Dr. Gailor for declining the bishopric of Georgia tendered to him by tho Episco pal church of this state. Such criticism is un-Christian and unjust. Dr. Gailor did not seek tho office. It is not cus tomary for any one, boforo a position is offered him, to say that ho will decline it. T)r. Gailor was bcll6vcd to possoss the qualities which tlio successor of tho grand Beckwith should have. The Dio- ccsean convention, after a special pray erful meditation, elected tho chancellor of Scwancc University. In acknowledg ing tho news of his election, Dr. Gailor said that ho would pray for divine guidance. Who doubts that he has spent tho intervening timo wrestling with the angel of the Lord at the Ten nessee Pcniel? I)r. Gailor may see that he can do more good in his present field than he could do presiding over tho church in Georgia. Ho is under no obligation, save to his Master, to accept the bishop ric of this state. Bishop Beckwith held his election undor advisement for a year boforo ac cepting, and ho was twico waited upon by committees. I)r. Gailor seemed to be tho man for this high place, but if ho cannot take it sumo ouo will -ho found who may accomplish more than the gifted young chancellor could. TT1K DUEL VS. TIIK ASSAULT. “Dueling is doad in South Carolina,” says tho Columbia State, which adds: “But It ought not to bo. There should bo some means of securing redress for slander; there should l>o some check upon tho tonguo of the traducer, and some mcnaco over the head of tho black guard.” Tills prompts the Birmingham Yews to ask: “What is tho matter with a good sized, healthy club ?” Tho trouble is that the other fellow- might havo a “healthy” pistol in his pocket, and when you assault him with “a good sized club” ho might and prob ably would shoot you. You would he dead and your slayer would he acquitted. On tho other hand, if you fight a real, true, true duel, you will have the sat isfaction cither of killing the man who insulted you or of feeling reasonably certain that he will be punished if he kills you. hie in “serving” and “receiving.” It would do away with a vast deal of run ning, and striking, and hollering, ami hurrahing, and cussing. The prevention of cussing alone would be a great saving to morals. Why, the writer of his personal knowledge knows of a young lady who played her first game of lawn tennis, and when she struck at the ball and missed it and threw her arm out of joint and tw isted her ankle she exclaimed, “Thunder!’ Just think what she will say when alio plays her hundrethgame, lu the pro cess of evolution her “thunder” will be come something horrible to think of. will be so full of fire and brimstone that It will scorch all the trees for a mile around. Her expletive may develop into “Confound it, Selina,” or more terrible still, into ‘Doggone it, Helen Blazes?” BEALL & OAKLEY. BARGAINS! And Special Prices still the rule of the with us.

The Collcgo of .Charleston asks all the southern universities and colleges to co operate with':t,in forming an association to raise funds to be applied to tlio erec tion of a monument to perpetuate the fame and memory of Jefferson Davis, Robert K. Leo, Stonewall Jackson and our Confederate dead in general. In order to arrange some definite mode of procedure, It is proposed that a con vention of southern universities and colleges bo held in Charleston at such time during tho coming fall, as may be found most expedient and convenient, and that an inter state oratorical contest be made a feature of the proposed vention, cacli institution being repre sented by one contestant. Every southern university and collcgo is earnestly requested to send a repre sentation to the convention, whether such delegation takes part in the con test or not. The specific ohjqct of tho convention is explained in an open letter to be tlio manifestation and exhibition of the “grateful regard of the younger genera tion for the pure and ideal characters, as well as the splendid emprise and achievements of those heroes who adorn ed and illustrated tho history of tho Confederate States.” Tho put-pose is laudable and Tiie Timf.n-Rkcokpku wishes the movement success.
