As the Enquirer-Nun lias tlie kindest feelings for that body, individually, we deem it a duty to say to It, confidentially, hedge, while there is yet time, or rather, aud better still, fiee tlie wratli to come by finishing up at once the remaining important public business, then adjourn, go home and face the music like men. Judge Frank McGloin of New Or leans has organized what lie calls a “Hurrah Club," the purpose of which is to go about tbe principal streets at night shouting “Down with the Lottery," and uttering caterwauls. Tue United States was tlie first to of ficially recognize tlie provisional govern- isent of Chili. The Germau government followed suit, ltccognltion from the other foreign governments is expected to take place with a few days. There is a general feeling of relief in Chill over the escape of Baimaceda; Ids enemies being glad to get rid of his presence in that country. It is said that he will come direct to this country, and endeavor to raise tlie means to releive bis lost power in Chili.

If tbe effete East thinks that Texas Is not up to snuff on science, let it cot- template with awe this evidence of scien tific advancement among the cowboys: Tbe Houston (Texss) Post says: “Tlio propinquity of the ornitborblncus and the octopodia may be clearly demon strated by an exegesis of Ictbiological evolution from the protoplasm to tlio highest form of marine existence.'' In almost every county in Alabama Democratic clnbs have been organized and in the others calls have been made and organizations will soon be perfected. There arc numerous gentlemen who will be glad of Hie opportunity to address the people, and between now aud spring Democratic speeches should be made in every beat in tbe state. The masses have only to hear the old Jeffersonian truths expounded and put back into the beaten paths to be right again. Tlie people are always on the side of right when they are properly Informed.— Montgomery Advertiser. Roue, Ga., Is now in the throes of tlie organization of a “law and order league,"which tbe Tribune is opposing; and tbe Hustler favoring. A number of the leading citizens have signed tlie call, which is worded as follows: “We, the undersigned citizens of Hoyd county, desiring to sec tbe law, and especial ly the municipal law of this etty, executed, and declring to see upright and honorable men In otttce, do solemnly pledge ourselves Ss members of the |j,w and order League of Rome, Go., to assist In fartberingths welfare of this city, by enforcing laws now, or wbtcb shall hereafter be en rte,t.” Outsiders might infer that Rome was made to howl by a very disorderly act of people. If there really exists a need for such an organization os a law and order league la that classic city. IVUAT THE PRESS SAYS. It is gratifying to see the unanimity with which the press of Georgia has taken up the line laid down by The Tiues-Recorder in its issue of Tuesday last in opposition to the Berner railroad hill, and all such railroad legislation. The dally press, tlie country weeklies, with and without Alliance proclivities, are coming out boldly and plainly Id op position to this measure, some advocat ing tlie adoption of the Goodwin substi tute, which is a modified form of the Berner bill; while others still get upon the higher plane adopted by The Times- Recobder, that no legislation whatever Is needed. If the Georgia press is any criterion I or judging popular sentiment, tbe peo ple of Georgia are against tne Berner bill, and wand want to stand squarely on the platform laid down by The Times- Recoroer, that of letting the commis sion manage the railroads under the present wise and satisfactory laws. BEFORE AND AFTER. The prospect Is thst there will be no scarcity of candidates In the next con gresslonal campaign In tbe Sixth. The Mtcon News says: Monroe county may bare two candi dates for congress from the Sixth dis trict, to wit: T. B. Cabaniss and Bob Berner. The prospect is that Bibb will have live candidates, as follow: We will tell the names later. Yes, and tbe candidacy of Mr. Berner for congress is tbe true “mllk-ln-tbe- coocoanut" as regards that Berner rail road bill now pending before tbe Leg!s< lature. He Is posing as tlie champion of the people against the “btarsted mo nopolies.” but when the people reward him with a seat in Congress, his status, like that of all other politicians who have “got there,” will be, In the lan guage of Wm.

Tbe acreage from which this crop was gathered was 20,852,320 and the average yield of lint per acre was 195 pounds. This was the largest yield by two pounds per acre ever known before. Tbe aver age of tbe five years previous to 1890 was less tliau 105 pounds per acre. In 1882 the average yield Twenty-nine boys employed by tbe Augusta glass works struck Monday. They asked for an increase of pay from 40 cents to 50 cents a day President Miller told the boys that the company was not in a position to grant an in crease, and twenty-nine of them went out. Tbe company employs about fifty boys. One white boy alone went out. Tbe other strikers are colored boys. One negro boy refused to strike. Those wbo remained in are all of them white. One of the biggest baptizings ever wit nessed in Georgia occurred in Laurens county recently. Hundreds of colored people have professed conversion, in a revival. Five or six thousand people as sembled at a pond to witness the baptiz ing of 206 candidates, who gathered on the banks arrayed in white. For half an hour songs were sung, after which a white-haired deacon led the candidates down to the water, one by one. The time taken to baptize tbe 201) was one hour and a half. Mr. Charlie Rowland of Athens is a prodigy in bis manipulation of the little ivory warriors of tlie chess board. His prowess in this mimic warfare Is won derful, exhibiting astonishing power in the plans and combinations by which he conducts bis men to victory. Judge Cobb, who was at one time regarded without a superior in Georgians an tuna- tcur chess player gives as blsnpinlon that Mr. Rowland is the finest chess player in Georgia to-<lay. Mr. Rowland’s gift is certainly a rare one, and Ic may yet rate him along with Pan! Morphy and other chess cetebrilies, whose names nre household words.
