The United States steamer Dispatch,
ashore at Assateague, Vs.’, Is a total
wreck.
Dr. Mapothkb tlnds that a diet of
oatmeal and brown bread greatly pro
motes the growth of hair.
Cotton fell an eighth of a cent yester-
day and bets are freely offered that it
will now steadily continue falling until
our legislative solona are safely at home.

Tiiehe is a squaro stand-off between
Cleveland and Harrison. Grovor wishes
that hia baby had been a boy, and Ben
jamin wishes that his son Russell had
been a girl.
In view of the Cleveland boom that is
now being rocked In the cradle of little
Ruth, the New York Sun Is moved to
remark: "The Cleveland press is going
to give us a baby canvass.”
Commenting on the prediction that
Baby Cleveland will be a brunette, the
Kansas City Journal says that she prob.
ably Inherited the black eye that her
father got in the fall of 1888.
A convention has been concluded
between Germany and the United States
which American cereals aro to bo ad
mitted into the former country free of
duty in exchange for the free admission
of German sugar hero.
It is said that John R. McLean.of the
"Cincinnati Enquirer has obtained con
trol of tho Cincinnati Commercial-Ga
zette through whiob the nomination of
Blaine for the presidency will be openly
advocated and Forakcr will be advocated
for tho senate.
The free-pass bill was put off by the
legislature until thero was only time to
make but not discuss the many amend
ments which, was known would bo on
band. The one proposed by the repre
sentative from Sumter, vIe, requiring
every member to pay for all passes he
had used, brought matters to a focus.
The bill is dead.
William Henhy Smitii, of England,
Conservative leader of the House of
Commons, lately deceased, made hia
money by getting a monopoly of all the
news stands In England. William Henry
Smith, of the United States, made his
money in the onoe monopoly, the Asso
ciated Press. Both made their fortunes
In the newt business.
Yesterday’s cotton lecolpts at this
port were 15,834 hales, against 15,316
bales the same day last year. It la no
ticed that the receipts are running re-
tnakably even this year, and that there
is seldom any unusual variation from
day to day, the receipts of oach day
being generally slightly ahead of tha
same day last year.—Savannah News.
Five millions of dollars arc spent in
the state of New Hampshire among her
her mountains every year, and a much
larger sum can bo stopped In Georgia by
such Investments as the Wlpdsor Hotel
for the winter abode of Invalids. This,
however, can only be accomplished by
judicious and liberal advertising. Is it
not time that the Americus Investment
Company was up and about tbeir scheme
of advertisement. There Is no good
reason why the coming winter should be
sllowed to slip by,"and If not, why not
crystallse our plans and make every
thing work up to them ?
It has been so long since anybody
asked the question, “Does the Koely mo
tor motor’ that the pnbllc may be some
what surprised to find that Keely is still
"moting," even if his motor don't, and
the stockholders are cighlng, “So mote
it be.” In the Engineering Magazine
for October 1s the report of a gentleman
who baa Investigated it quite recently,
and with the same result as heretofore,
that it is an unparallelled fraud; and yet
thousands of dollars go annually from
one set of people or another Into the
coffers of Keely, who says, "So mote it
be” so long as this fleecing continues.
Keely is a more wonderful machine than
his motor.

THU SOUTH AT CHICAGO.
The Manufacturers' Record thlnkB
there is very great danger that the
World’s Fair will prove an Injury rather
than a benefitto the south. In speaking
of It, the Record says that the World's
Fair will be the greatest exposition
which has ever been seen, and that the
number of visitors will be f ar In excess
of the attendance at any preceding
woild's fair, no longer admit of any
question. Before the gates are open
probably upwards of 150,000,000 will
have been spent on the buildings and ex
hibits. The whole world will be fully
represented there. The west, the north
west and the Pacific coast will probably
make the finest exhibits of their re
sources in soil, minerals and timbers,
and of their manufactured and agricul
tural products, that have ever been seen.
What Is the south going to do ?
It must meet these other sections In a
fair fight for supremacy, and win or
lose the greatest opportunity that has
ever been offered for attracting the at
tention of the world. A meagro display
will be overshadowed by the magnificent
exhibits of other states, and do more
harm thin good. Against the Iron ores
of the south will be put the splendid
ores of the Lake Superior region; south
ern coals and cokes will have to meet in
competition tho coals aid cokes of Penn
sylvanla, Washington and other states;
southern timber the magnificent timbers
of California and Washington. It is a
critical time for tho whole south. Shall
wo make such unequalled displays of
our natural resources as to draw to the
south the attention of the millions of
visitors to the fair, or shall we, through
lack of energy and enterprise, lose the
chance and see the tide of men and
money turned to other sections ?
THE people vs. the railroads.
Pat Calhoun signified his willingness
to go before the people on the issues in
volved In the railroad legislation which
has been pending in the Legislature.
The defeat of the Berner bill may result
in such a general campaign. Thera las
strong indication that the regulation or
control of the railroads Is to be made tbe
issue of tbe next campaign. The Olive
bill of tbe previous session and tbe Ber-
ner-Smith bill of this session, were bare
ly defeated by the most rigorous efforts
of the conservative element of tho Legis
lature, and public scDtiment; but with
such incendiaries as Tom Watson to In
fluence the minds of the masses, the
question just laid aside is by no means
dead; and will come up again more vig
orously than ever. Mr. Calhoun, no
doubt, recognizes that the war is on;
and that tbe properties lie represents
will be legislated out of existence on the
next round, unless he begins “a cam
paign of education” In time to forestall
such an event.
If such be the programme, he will be
met by Watson and Berner, and others
on the stump; and suoh another exciting
campaign may be expected as has not
been seen slnoe the time of tbe Whigs
and Democrats, wheu Hill, Stephens,
Johnson, Toombs and Joe Brown
measured swords.
It is obvious that tbe fight la going to
come; and the sooner tbe issues now
pending are settled, the better for the
stability of values and the prosperity of
Georgia.
The resignation of the Hon. Henry
W. Blair of New Hampshire as Envoy
Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten
tiary to China has just been accepted by
President Harrison, with appropriate
expressions of regret and esteem. Mr.
Blair was appointed and eonflrmed in
February last. For reasons well known
to everybody, It has been his fortune to
exercise the functions of his office at
Washington rather than at Pekin. For
nearly eight months he baa been,
as a minister, decidedly more
extraordinary than plenipotentiary.
Ills functions have been con-
fined to drawing his salary ahd signing
the receipts for the same. There has
been an attempt on the part of some of
Mr. Blair’s friends to give the impression
that he has conscientiously refused to
receive 81,000 a month from tbe Govern
ment as pay for work which Minister
Denby was performing. In tbe absence
of conclusive evidence wo cannot credit
this report. If Mr. Blsir has not had the
•alary in view, why has be remained in
office for eight months? Certainly not
from public spirit or for glory. At all
events, the Hon. Henry W. Blair, re
leased at last from official cares, Is at
liberty to turn his attention to the sup
pression of the rum traffic on tbe high
seas; and may good luck attend him 1—
New York Sun.
TBH COTTON SEED COMBINE, 'f
The South Carolina plantora have not
succeeded very well in their Sea Island
“cotton seed combine.” It has been
known for a long time that the long and
silky staple was not so much a product
of a special soil as of skillful selection
and crossing, and as portions of Georgia
and Florida bare suitable soils the intent
was to limit production by limiting the
sale of seed to those who preferred to
buy rather than to produce through an
exercise of skill. Many of those who
belonged to tbe skillful producers fa
vored the combine, but better judgment
prevailed and among those holding the
latter was Mr. W. G. Hinson, of James
Island, whose address proved the turn
ing point in the consideration of tbe
question. He at first favored the Idea,
but after consideration he became con
vinced that It was “utterly and absolute
ly impracticable.”
Ills views are thus stated by the News
and Courier of Charleston, S. C.;
In Ills opinion, even if a perfect com
bination could be formed, it would be a
great disadvantage to tbo islands, as
combinations always stimulated the op
position. Within the past season seven
hundred bags of long staple cotton, a
variety new to the market, and totally
distinct from Sea Island cotton, and yet
having a staple of from au incli and a
quarter to an an inch and a half, had
been grown from green seed. Mr. Hin
son said that he believed that in five
years’ time, by careful selection, a vari
ety could be obtained that would com
pete formidably with any of our grade ”
This is a sensible deduction, for
whilst locality and soil favored those
williog to expend the energy iu the pro
duction of a very valuable side Issue in
their Increased sales through others
buying tlielr seed, yet, as Mr. Hinson
says, it is never wise to stimulate oppo
sition.
