Calhoun’s speech was on financial

The Economist, the national
the Alliance, says officially that it is and
has been its policy “to carefully a\'oid
personal condemnation of any member
of the order, no matter how great the
offense or how positive the evidence of
guilt.”
Kx-Sknatok Fakwei.l of Illinois
thus expresses his views on the presi

Columbus wants an artesian well, and
will spend $*1,000 in the attempt to find
water. If, after that amount has been
expended, no water is found, the cit£
council will consider another appro
priation for the purpose. Columbus
should consult the wizard and the
switch to locate the well.
The legislature has passed a bill
ceding jurisdiction to the United
States over the ground in Savannah on
which a government building will be
erected, and the Times calls on the gov
ernment to commence work at once.
The appropriation is a neat sum and
Savannah will have a handsome public
building.
Mrs. Dr. Felton made a temperance
speech in Atlanta Wednesday night, and
as siie was leaving tlio hall some one
picked her pocket, relieving it of
and railroad passes. It takes an expert
to find a woman’s pocket under ordinary
circumstances, and how the fellow ever
found Mrs Felton’s is a mystery which
will never be solved. •

The movement to raise funds for a
monument to the memory of the late
president of the Confederacy, Jefferson
Davis, which was begnn through the
press, and to which fresh Impetus has
been given by tbe Southern newspapers
at a recent session, is meeting with gen
eral favor, and tha patriotic effort prom

cial results.
The Mecklenburg, X. C., Alliance baa
resolved that the farmers of the Alli
ance in that fine county would not plant
more than ten acres in cotton for each
farmer. Every member present pledged

Recent financial reports from London
show that money can ho borrowed at
tho trifling rate of interest of one-half of
ouo per cent. ,per aunum. But those
loans aro on call and upon undoubted
collaterals. It is mentioned in this con
nection that a similar condition invaria
bly follows linancial panics. Tbe fact
that there is money to lend at suck low
interest is evidence that the late panic
was tbe result of laok of confidence,
which is, indeed, the fruitful cause of all
panics.
A report comes from Chicago that a
movement is to be started among High
Church Episcopalians or Ritualists of
tlio west to resist tlie advance of what
are known as the Broad church opinions
and principles of men like the newly
elected Bishop Brooks of Massachusetts
and, in tlieir extremity, by the Rev.
Heber Newton of New York.
William L. Maiuy said seventy-

has adopted a resolution tc appoint a
committee, whose duty it shall be to in

tho same. Thomasville is making a
strong bid for winter tourists.
Old man Ben Dugger, who died at bis
home in Fannin county Thursday, was
one of the most unique characters Geor
gia lias ever produced. He was a phil
osopher in his section, and his advice
and counsel were sought upon all ques
tions by his neighbors, and his words
had great weight with the simple moun
taineers. He was a republican iu poli
tics, and represented his people in the
house and senate as it suited him, and
opposition was unavailing, as old Ben
would get there every time. He was a
rough and uncultured man, hut liis heart
was in the right place, aud his people
loved him.
