Americus, Qa., October 27, 1891 They are now telling It on President Lincoln that lie was a spiritualist and had seances in the White bouse. Ox to-day week there will be election, in Ohio, Xew York, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi Nebraska, New Jersey and Virginia Tiie Americus Times-Kkcoiihkh baa been enlarged to an eight-page sheet, which indicates that said paper is reap ing its just reward in the way of shek els —Lumpkin Independent. The fact that in the list of vessels now loading cotton and other exports in Savannah the came of an American ves sel does not appear causes the Washing- ton Post to remark that the United States is great on production but short on transportation, 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 anicldo when it adopts a creed." It It would seem to-day that the soct which makes its creed unyielding is not far from a like self-destruction. Richard J. Woulfk, the ship's writer on board the Atlanta, has received a eurloua relic from Jeremiah Carroll, a seaman on board the Baltimore, It is a silk hat, eald to have fallen from Balms- 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 ald. 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 o lam!

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. Bai.i>Head*d men are now cussin’ out “King Solomon” became it is a strictly moral show, and Brer Candler and Brer Wadsworth are consigning it to- Hades because It isn’t; while Brer Haw thorne, wli» has seen it, says it Is all right. "Who shall decide, when doctors disagree?” It gives me- pleasure to certify that Lieutenant Basick of the Central Police District used Salvation Oil on a rheu matic arm. A few applications relieved him and wrought a permanent cure. Sal vation Oil if called in will verify this statement. Serot. IP-A. Ryan. Central Polite Station.Balto., Md. 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.— Augusta Chronicle.
