Italy and the state of New Tork h*Te
s bond of sympathy. Both so far refuse
to participate in the World’s Fair.
Bey, Weyman H. Potteb, a proml
nent Methodist minister and late editor
Of the Wesleyan Christian Advocate,died
at Austlll, Georgia, near Atlanta, on
Sunday night, '
Jay Gould, quoting from “Rock me
to Sleep Mother,” says he Is “tired of
•owing tor others to reap.” Jay might
have thought of this a few days before
“Black Friday,” when he began sowing
destruction for his fellow man to reap.
Tbebk was a considerable fall of snow
In the Northwest last week, and the
frosts in that region were severe enough
to kill all garden vegetation and nip the
fall pasturage. The weather bureau re
ports it the coldest weather on record so
early in the season.
The trial of Prof. Briggs lor alleged
heresy, by the Now Tork Predbytery,
has been assigned for the 4th of Novem
ber. Some of his friends still hope that
a trial may be averted, and they will
probeb’v « ' ■< -o—' o when

Orth H. Stein is a noted forgor and
counterfeiter. Us aorved a term In the
Florida penitentiary for forging a check
on Harper A Bros, of New Tork, and
while there developed wonderful talents
as a poet and draughtsman. It la said
that while he was in the penitentiary,
the state was offered <3,000 per year for
bis services as an engraver.
Some of the newspapers are again in-
dniglng in intimations that Hr. Blaine
is In poof health. Tbo Boston-Traveller
claims to have direct and authoritative
information that Mr. Blaine Is now en
joying excellent hoalth, and is in the
best of splritf. It is probably true, as
reported, that he will not take an aotive
part in any political campaign this year.
Thebe is no better sign of substantial
prosperity than to see the country boom
ing with agricultural fairs. There are
going to be three magnificent ones In
Georgia, besides others in the neighbor
ing states. Sumter county, in the per
son of Mr. J. T. Bosss, will bo at the
Piedmont and will be sure to capture a
prise, unless somebody stirs up wonder
fully.
It is said that Victoria Woodhull Is
coming over to this country to lecture
on “social reform.” Vie was a free
iorer when a citizen of the United
States, and her affinity was Colonel
-Blood. She went to England when this
country grew too small for her, married
an English millionaire, and “reformed.”
Sbe Is a good example of radical refor
mation, in praetloe If not in theory.
The Republican papers are publishing
tables to prove that the McKinley bill
bas cheapened everything, tin and sugar
aBke. Their argument seems to bo that
the raising or taking off of the tariff has
the same effeot, and is a blessing either
way If done by a Republican congress.
Free trade in sugar, raised by the South,
is as great a blessing as protected tin,
made only In the North. This Is the
logie of sectionalism, upon which the
Republican party Is founded.
One of the most Important features of
Mr. Gladstone’s speech at Newcastle was
bis announcement that the Liberals,
when they regain poesession of the
government, will confer on local bodies
the powsr of taking land for the purpose
of distributing it in small allotments to
the landless laborers. The plan thus
publicly avowed has for its aim the con
quest of the English counties at the next
general election by the aid of the villa-
gen who obtained the franchise in 1885.
Light frost was reported Thursday
morning as far south as Shreveport, La.,
and perhaps reached Mississippi. This
Is the second time the cottonbelt has felt
the touch of antumn, as on Wednesday
“killing" frosts occurred in Arkansas.
Solar this season, however, frost has
done no very serious damage to ootton.
But Its extension to the lower Missis
sippi valley should be taken as a warn
ing that it may soon visit a large portion
of the cotton belt, and also the tobacco
belt.
MONBOE COUNTY VS. THE WORLD.
A correspondent of the Constitution at
Barnesvilie writes:
While at the picnic at Prospect church last
Thursday, t sot some facts about a reo-arka-
ble family It Is the family of Mr. W. H.
Thurmond, the famous Inventor of the car-
coupler that la now very popular In the rail
road world. Mr. Thurmond's family con
sists of twenty-five eons and daughters,
which Is probably the largest family In this
section. Another remarkable fact about It
Is hat eighteen of bl« chlldreo, and If we re
member coriectly, eighteen sons, now pos
sess diplomas from the leading schools or the
country, end are all doing exceedingly well
In the vocations which they have chosen
“Necessity Is the mother of Invention,” and
this may account for the Invention of the
Thurmond cer-ooupler.
The editor of The Times-Rbcobdeb
is well acquainted with this remarkable
Monroe oounty man and his family; and
about 1880 or '81 assisted Hr. Thurmond
to take out the patent on the coupler out
of which be will probably realize
fortune.
In tbla connection it may be stated
that two other Monroe county families
are on a par with Mr. Thurmond'e; one
of Mr. Alfred Meddlebrooka, who had
twenty-four children; and the other,
Rev. Benj. Haygood, who had twenty-six.
Now let Sumter county come to the
front with a record to beat thla if ahe
can.
THAT HAST.
Tuts is tbe cloud with a vnrniihlng
silver lining as it appears to Editor Mc-
Ctine of the National Economist:
“Gradually but surely tbe Democratic
politicians are drifting away from free
coinage. It la romarkable how easily
the people's representatives change their
opinions. When congress adjourned tbe
Democratic party woa Iond in ita de
mand for free coinage, but since then
matters have assumed a fsr different
aspect. Wall street bas boon making
use of its peculiar mothods witli the
usual effect. Prominent Democratic
papers arc now outspoken against free
coinage, and both senators and congress
men are either talking ngainst it or
keeping quiet with but few exceptions.
From present appearances the people
will out fare auy better in regard to
financial relief at tbo hands of a Demo
cratic majority than they did at tbe
hands of a Republican congress.”
The divided factions in Ireland seem
all the more embittered and estranged
because of Parnell’s death. The fol
lowers of the doad leader seem to con
sider that he was a martyr to persecu
tion, which it is their duty to resent by
continued opposition to hit enemies.
This U unfortunate in that It must work
barm to Ireland and the cause of home
rule. There should be n general recon
ciliation now while all parties should re
member only the virtues of the deprrted
great. No man ever did more In leu
time for Ireland's emancipation than did
Parnell; and while tbe ono error of his
life will bo forgiven, his name will go
down to history u one of the greatest of
the many patriots who have -made
Ireland illustrious.
While all the editors are congratulat
ing ex-Presldent Cleveland on his late
acquisition, and the enhancement of hie
political prospect* thereby, Editor Dana
of the Sun that “shines for all" (except
Grover) is redoubling his wrath; and
spoutJita’out venom like Vesuvius In an

“Tub People’s Pasty Paper," the
new third party organ,by Elam Christian,
published In Atlanta, has made Its ap
pearance, and a copy hu reached The
Times-Recobder office. It la nut In

menf'lsthat “The People’* Party Pa

journalism to supply a want felt by tbe
masses, not only In Georgta,but through

scooped a paper that hadn't started out
on the ume platform, and unleu there
are a great many third psrtyltes hidden
out in tbo woods, this new venture will
go the way of other pioneers.
Monboe oounty, Georgia, hu three
citizens who have lived under every
president from Wuhlngton to Hsrrison.
They are Alexander Perkins, Cyrus
Sharp, sr, and Andrew Zellner. They
are rupectively 07, 04 and 03 yoars old.
They are not all yet u old as were sev
eral other citizens of that county at their
death; Robert MoGough having died at
100, Thomu Battle at 08, William Evers
at 00, John M. Chambliss at 06, and
George W. Driskell at 04. Tbe woods
are full of them from 75 to 00, who will
come along into notoriety when they
grow old.
Twkmny years ago, on Friday eve
ning, Mrs. O'Leary’s famous cow kicked
over a lamp and started a Are that swept
Chicago from the south branch of the
river to the lake and from Coogreu
street on the south to Centre street on
the north—ono of the most extended
and most costly firs ever known. To
day, Chicago, if she remembers Mrs.
O'Leary's cow at all, would probably be
Inclined to erect a monument In the an
imal's honor. For, though It wu a
dreadful fire for Chicago people, the city
It finer and better In every way for tbe
destruction of her wooden house*.
Cleveland Leader: Grover Cleveland
is hereby informed that catnip tea it on
tbe free list.
Indianapolis Journal: It Is likely
that the new third party will cause Mr.
Cleveland many sleepleu nights from
now on.
New Haven Register: One touch of
nature makes tbe whole world kin.
Everybody is congratulating ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland now.
Brooklyn Eagle: May the little
daughter grow to womanhood u gentle,
gracious and exemplary u that which
the mother incarnates and incites.
Richmond Dispatch: We extend to
Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland our congratula
tions upon the birth of their daughter.
They should name her Virgin!*.
St. Louis Republio: We regret to say
t, but Mrs. Cleveland hu disappointed
the just expectations of Democrats
throughout the country. It should have
been a boy!
Wuhlngton Post: It can no longer
be said by hla Republican enemiu that
Grover Cleveland ia opposed to the in
fant industries of thla country.
New Tork Advertiur: Mr. Cleveland’s
statement that tbe baby ia good maybe
taken u an early notification to thou
whom It may concern that it ia not Ukely
to require any of its father’s personal at
tention during the next presidential cam-
deign.
Kansu City Times: If the mothers of
tbe land had a vote nothing could defeat
Mrs. Cleveland’s election to any stated
office. A demand for her reinstatement
at the White House may arise which
will knock into smlthoreons any local
squabbles in Now Tork.
Baltimore Sun: Mr. Ulevelsud bu al
ways proclaimed that public office Is a
public trust, and be bu now shown that
bo recognizes bis obligation In private
life to what the political economists and
philosophers have always deolarod to
be one of tbe highest dutlu of the trne
patriot.
Baltimore News: Our joy Is tempered
with sympathy, u we are on the edge of
winter, and these young and innocent
parents do not know what la before
them. Buides, Mr. Cleveland la not
built to wik a shouting baby in a cold
room at midnight in abbreviated attire,
with credit to himself, benefit to the
country, or complete utisfsetlon to
either his wife or tbe baby.
