It is proposed to send Whitney's original cotton gin to the fair. It now turns out that many persons employed In the big building whicli collapsed in Xew York the other day had their fears all along. Several of them told their wives that t' ey realised the danger, but rather than he thrnwu out of employment thdy would ruu the risk until tnoy secured work elsewhere. They waited too long. Tiik unanimous election of Judge Welborn Clark as president of the Youug Men’s Democratic Club of Sumter county was a fair compliment to this distin guished young Georgian who cornea of a raco who have ever been found truo to duty’s call. Judge Clarke is a young man of decided ability and splendid enthusiasm. The Timks-Recohdeu con gratulates lilin and tho club on his elec tion. When it comes to tho artistic handling of local and society news, there isn't a paper in the South that can compare with the Augusta Evening News. What is commonly called “slush” In other city papers is charmingly written nows in tho columns of the bright Augusta journal, that is thoroughly enjoyable cveu to those wlio are strangers to the condi tions that invest these articles with special interest to tho Augustans. IIon, Mark Everett, Stewarl'a rep resentative, was most unjustly attacked and brutally., beaten by a bully, Kred Cooper, at tho Kiaihall House in At lanta on Thursday night. Mr. Everett’s wounda are soverc, but by no means dangerous, and it is probable ho will be out in few days. The exaet cause of the assault is not known. Cooper is in the county jail and Mr Kverett is under the care of hD filends and physicians. Tue legislature says that three su preme court judges must continue to do the Immense volume of business, which the increased dockot demands of them, when really twice the number could scarcely transact It. The vast majority of ordinary mortals little know, nor can they appreciate, the wear and tear of excessive and monotonous brain work. The verdict Is, Georgia’s judiciaries must fill untlmoly graves or come off tho bench. Many a death Is traced to a picnlo, but one picnic held recently In Florida, on Jackson’s Island, la credited with saving a valuable life, that of Capt. W. I. Vason of Tallahaaseo. In a letter written by him to a friend—so the Levy Timcs-Dcmocrat lays—he states that while he was there, and at the time he was making an address, lightning struck hla office in Tallahassee, and the very chair he would In all probability have boon occupying bad be not attended the picnic, was torn to pieces.—Jacksonville Timea-Unlon. I Secretary Tracy has done well in ordering a cruiser to Honolulu at this time. It Is desirable that our Govern ment ahould hold a point of observation there os long as the state of things con tinues to be as mixed as it now is. We must keep a watch, a naval watch, over the manoeuvring* of the foreign and native factious which are now contend ing with each other for the control or possession of the Hawaiian Government, and some of which are trying to carry out project* in which wo are interested. That Government is in a critical situa tion in those times, and the death of the shrewd American who was the Queen's husband and adviser has made the situa tion even more eiitleal Ilian it was dur ing bla lifetime. We are not prepared to admit the right of any foreign power to aeixe the Hawaiian Islands, or to es tablish a protectorate over them, or to wheedle Queen Lilluokalanl Into the- slgnlng of a treaty that will permit the planting of a foreign garrison on Ha waiian soIL this Slate the railroad commission has complete control of railroad rates. Nothing lias appeared anywhere to show that the railroads are greater than the commission. On the contrary, it is a fact that the railroads have never failed to comply with the regulations provided by tlie commission. Some of them hare protested against rates fixed by the commission, but their protests have aviled them nothing. If the attack that is being made upon the railroad combinations of this State should he successful tlie result would be that the commission would have to raise the rates to enable the roads to pay ex penses and meet their fixed charges. It is apparent therefore that the object of the attack is not to benefit the people. And it is doubtful if tho section of the constitution relating to railroad monopo lies would have been adopted bad it been understood how completely rail roads could be controlled and regulated by a commission In the railroad world tlie movement toward combinations is almost irresist ible. In a lottcr writton last Monday Chief Justice Illeckley, of this state, speaking of the discussion now going on in the legislature relative to railroad consolidation, said: “Development In cludes the combination of links into chains, and the consolidation of chains into systems, for control and manage ment. The reason why railway service is better and cheaper after consolidation than it could ho before, is the same rea-, son which enables the wholesale dealer ’ to sell superior goods at a lower price titan tlie ordinary retailer can afford to ■ sell an infurior article." Tlio foregoing seems to be n sensible i view of the matter. It tense who are at-1 tacking the railroad combinations could ■ show that tho people would he bond! ted if they should succeed in their purpose ; they would be entitled to encourage ment, but that they can not do.—Savan nah Morning Nowa. cures all blood diseases, sucli Rheumatism, Syphilis, Gout, Scrofula, and all ulcerous affections, even van quishing that melancholy enemy of man, Dyspepsia.

The two hundred and fifty young Democrats,and their friends,who met at the opera house Wednesday night and organized tbe Y’oung Men's Democratic Club, by no means deslro It to be under stood that tbe poles are closed.

Tbe purpose and design of tbe Young Men's Democratio Club of Sumter is to protect tbe honest and sound principles of true Jeffersonian Democracy, and all young men who are Democrats arc eligible to full and honorable member ship.

He explains the recent im mense drain of gold from tbe United States to Europe as follows: “Much of tlie gold which has come from America the past six months has come as a tort of insurance Investment. It has not been needed In actual business transac tions. An unreasoning apprehension of disaster to come necessitated tlie pres ence here of gold and tho money loaned by America for this purpose has suc ceeded, as it was intended to, in allaying all fears for tbo future. Catastrophes believed to be near at hand have, ow ing to the presence of gold in such quanti ties, been prevented and have failed to materialize, and now that tlie gold lias done Its work it is to be returned to its owners.”| Scrofula cured, even in its forms, by P.
