The fact that in the list of vessels
now loading cotton and other exports in
Savannah the came of an American ves

Luther A. Hall, the convicted law
ycr of Dodge county, is no longer prl
vate secretary to tho chaplain of the
Ohio pcnitoutUry, but has been placed
in one of tiie work rooms. It seems
doubtful about his case being appealed
to the United States Supreme Court.
One of Hall’s daughters has died since
his incarceration in prison.
RaV. Geo. W. Kilhow, the young
minister who suddenly became Insane in
Atlanta sometime ago, was first taken
to Columbia, but as he grew no better lie
was carried to bis home in Piedmont, W.
Ta. lie is still insane and seems to grow
no better, and all the time is talking
about his suing Atlanta, the Kimball
house and tho telegraph company for
the way they treated him.
The divines who threw the indict
ments of Dr. Briggs find themselves in
some perplexity. Tbo indictment is so
broad that if the distinguished culprit la
-convicted under it there will be scarcely
an orthodox clergyman left in the fold.
'Huxley once said: "Sclenco commits

Richard J. Woulfk, the ship's writer
on board the Atlanta, has received a

ceda’s head when he was making his
escape from the Insurgents in Valparai
so. Carroll sent the hat by exproas from
Callo, Peru, to Mr. Woulfe, who received
it on Saturday last. The hat was origi
nally purchased of a Washington dealor,
and Is 74 inches In size. -New York Her

Hox, John Temple Graves left At
lanta Sunday for New York, where lie
goes at an Invitation of Gov. Hill to
speak on Democracy. Mr, Graves was
one of tho speakers at the Democratic
banquet given In honor of Mr, llill, and
the Governor was ,0 much pleased with
his speech that ho invited him to go to
New York. Mr. Graves has accepted
and will make his llrat speech in Brook
lyn to-night He will afterwards speak
In Albany, Saratoga and New York
City. •
Sunday’s Age-Herald says: On yes
terday Mr. Frank P. O’Brien - received a
telegram from Atlanta asking that a pri
vate box at the opera houso be reserved
for Senator Joe Brown and party on
Wednesday night next The perform
ance will be the famous play, “Alaba
ma,” and it may be that the senator la
coming for the express purpose of wit
nessing the rendition of this great
southern play. It la probable, however,
that he is carrying out hla long cherish
ed desire of coming to see Birmingham
and the wonderful development here.
The state fair and “Alabama" make tbl*
particular time especially attractive to
falm.”
Athens la pretty well stirred up over
the use of “Johnston’s History of the
United States" in the State University,
as heretofore stated in Tut Times-11e-
cordeh. It Is a text book for the junior
class and was Introduced by the newly
elected professor, McPherson. The
Banner began an attack upon It several
days ago, on the ground tbst it teaches
what the southern people do not believe
to be true with regard to the conflict be
tween the states. That paper has pub
lished extracts from It which show that
it is written from a northern standpoint,
and teaches the view held at the north
during the war by the then dominant
party. It It well calculated to lessen
the respect of the southern youth for
those who guided the south prior to end
In the war of secession. It it understood
that Prof. McPbereou dost not purpose
to teach the doctrines of the book, but
to comment on them in his lecture*.
The bock, however, doss not meet with
approval In Athens, sad the Banner’s
war upon it is very generally
mended.
THE KELLY CUBE.
The Keeiy cure was talked about a
great deal by the doctors at the congress
of American Neurologists, which met in
Washington last month, and the opinion
was that Dr. Keeiy made use of a mind
cure, and also used a narcotic for hypo
dermic injections. Dr. Keeiy claims
that bis medicine is bi-ohlorlde of gold,
but Dr. Dana says that it is hardly pos
sible that he uses that as a cure for
drunkenness. Bi-chloride of gold la not
mentioned, It la said, as a drug in any
medical book.
There is very little confidence in the
Keeiy cure among physicians who have
acquired prominence In their profession.
One of the reasons is probably that Dr.
Keeiy keeps his cure a secret if he has
discovered oue. He has written nothing
about it in the medical journals. Hla
purpose seems to be to make money out
of it, and from a professional standpoint
his conduct is not defensible. If he has
discovered a genuine remedial agent
he ought to give it to the public just
as Dr. Kocb gave his discovery for tu
berculosis.
There are millions of people suffering
from alcoholism and Dr. Keeiy, It seems,
intends to let them sillier. Tiie New
York Sun says he “is not a healer loyal
to the noblest principle and practice of
the medical art, but a render of a pro
prietary medicine, who is mercilessly
enriching himself at the expense of the
sufferers of the dreadful disease
of drunkenness.” Under the circum
stances It is not to be wondered at that
the doctors are shy of him.—Savannah
News.
WOMEN AS KAKNEKS.
The prosperity of the farmers of tho
South as a class depends upon raising
their own food supplies. When this
shall have been done and cotton be made
a surplus ctop, the agricultural interests
of the South will prosper as never be
fore. In Georgia tho women have taken
up the matter, and at a late meeting of
the State Agricultural Society It was
unanimously resolved—
1st. That we respectfully hq,i earnestly
urge eneb and every firmer In Georgia to
survey from hla farm from ave to ten acres

try amt pi gaol the barnyard, and for the-gt n-
tle Jerseys ofthe-dalxy.

Southern femurs.
After doing tide- Mrs. ffn. H. Sfelton
of Curtersville wa» requested to under
take the work ol organising a club In
every county Id the state to pres* this
matter upon tho attention of the farmers.
CHIU KNOWS WHOM TO KICK.
Tiie warlike Chilians think they want a
scrap with the United Htale-, but they are
badly ralalak»n. The Chilians should have
.-me or I he oone.lt taken out of them. It
would not he a tud Idea to i ut tho!* army on
board some of the American voasela, brim:
U up here, and let It see whutklnd or a coun
try ibis is. Perhaps, after taking measure
ment and looking over a few statistic-, the
Chilian oUlcers would go homo and conclude,
like our estimable young friend, llob Acres,
that It Is not necessary to be so warlike a her
all Enquirer-Nun.
That’s just where Brer Richardson
mistakes the animus of Uncle Sam as
represented by the present administra
tion.
If Chili hung every American in her
domain to a lamp-post, and the Chilian
navy sunk the American Meet,as it could
do any hour,the United States would nut
resent It, except in a war of words.
The cowardice of the American gov
ernment is a byword and a reproach
among all foreign nations, and even so
small a country as Chill feels that she
can bluff tho United States with perfect
impunity.
The Democratic mayor of New London,
Coumcllout, who was elected last week by »
big majority, has resigned liecauM hla Demo
cratic associates have appointed Republic me
to the leading city ofllcea. He Is right. The
people don’t elect Democrats to appo.nt
Republicans to office.—Constitution.
Overlooking this fundamental princi
ple caused President Cleveland’s defeat
In hit second race. “To the victors be
long the spoils,” and the Democracy
didn't follow tbelr banner to defeat for
twenty-five years only to let the Repub
licans keep the minor offices while
Cleveland went in on their votes—at last
If Mr. Cleveland expects to get the non!-
■nation again, he must get It on a plat
form that will take “all the boys" along
with him If he goos In himself. It'a bad
Democracy and worse gratitude to enter
the ghtes and then dose them in the
faces of the bumbler workers. If Cleve
land hasn’t profited by hla experience
he hasn't the sense he la reputed to
have.

out “King Solomon” became it is a
strictly moral show, and Brer Candler

disagree?”

The letter of Watterson has been more
praised than the speech of Gov. Hill at
the unveiling of the Grsdy monument.
Watterson seemed more to feel the words
be wrote, while Hill seemed to speak as
s spectator. The ebaraoter drawing of
the one was the work of a painter, full
of lifelike color and glowing with the
genius of a sensitive soul, that of
other was a marble statue, pure, spot
less and polished, but without color or
life.—News.
The Montgomery exposition begins
this week. It promises to be an alto
gether creditable exhibition of Ala
bama’s wonderful resources.
THE DUNHAM CASE.
The refusal of the grand jury in Mont
gomery to indict Mr. Bradford Dunham
for tho killing of Mr. James Cunning
ham several weeks ago has created some
surprise. Mr. Dunham killed Mr. Cun
ningham with a shot gun as the young
man was passing in front of a drug
store. The affair excited considerable
comment, and it was found out that
Cunningham had written a note to Mrs.
Dunham asking for a meeting In the
park.
The jury probably decided that a man
who paid pointed attractions to the wife
of another, entered upon forbidden
ground and took his life in his own
hands. There is a rigid standard of re'
sponsibility in the country which con
demns such conduct, and which some
times reverses the common law and
overrules the statute. Juries are not
quick to convict men who kill In defence
of domestic honor, or who avenge over
tures calculated to bring disgrace to the
home and fireside. All men know that
this domain is forbidden ground, and
grand jury In this ease probably con
eluded that If Mr. Dunham did not act
in accordance with the law, be at least
obeyed a prompting of hnman nature,
which is approved bp the best standards.
Since the case of Philip Barton Key
tkere has been an unwritten code which
dues not grade such crime as murder.—
