It 18 understood that a tent will be made in the courts of the legality of the Whitfield insurance act. A Lorisiana barber took off Colonel Livingston's board while the Alliance chief was asleep in the chair. Leonidas wasn't hurt, however, as he said It made him look like Judge Boynton of Gritlin Tiik rain makers have tried their dynamite at Birmingham There wasn’t any rain, but as the explosion occurred on the ground, instead of in the air, there were some narrow escapes on the part of the spectators. ! Is Savannah the beautiful asphalt pavement* have driven traffic from soino of the cobble-stone thoroughfares onto their own bard, smooth surfaces. This may tend to clvange quiet residence streets into highways of trade, but it speaks voinnn s for tho acceptability Ot this class of paving. Coi.. A. 0. Bacon is a graduate of the State University and has always been one of its roost enthusiastic supporters. He is a gentleman of recognized ability and prominence, and Oov. Nortlien’s judgment in selecting him as the succes sor of Judge Urcsbam on the board of trustees will receive publio endorsement of the heartiest sort.—Chronicle. In the absence of exciting election news this rooming—during the calm be fore the siorm—the readers of The Times-Kkcoiiti,,*: can regale themselves on the feast of fine advertising news that its columns present. Read about dry goods, groceries, notions, etc., and get yourselves imbued with sound wisdom, pending the excitement to follow elec tion news the next twenty-four hours. •John Wanamaker says: “I don’t bare whether tariffs are high or low in trade. I buy and sell to suit my custom ers. 1 have always sought the open markets of the world to ester to my trade, and always will." And this causes the Detroit Free Press to remark: "He Is evidently a relative of the man wlio, when he was asked if he was a Democrat or a Republican, replied, 'Neither; I am In the clothing business.’ ” The Cotton drawers’ Convention in Atlanta recommended a reduction of acreage of one-third, except? in eases of ioteualve farming, and there twelve acres to the mule was suggested as suffi cient. The disonssion ot this question should open the eyes of the Southern farmer to the Importance of cutting down tho cotton yield. One million bales off next'season would do the work very handsomely in the way of Increas ing the price. Dbinkino toasts to tbs “destruction of the North American republic" can do the United States no ’ harm nor the vin dictive Chlllans.any good. But it serves to show how much of rankling bitter ness may be aroused by a blunder of the government in placing such a man as Minister Pat Egan In a position for whieh he Is wholly unfit, and keeping him there in spite of bis blunders. Judging us a nation by the alleged repre sentative we bavo tent them is not irra tional on the part of the Chilians but it is atlll very erroneous in this oase. The latest figures from the Depart ment of AgriculturS place this year's wheat crop in the United States at about 688,000,000 bushels instead of the 520,-, 000,000 bushels, which was the outside estimate when the harvest began. In June the most trust-worthy authorities were confident that the wheat yield of the oountry would not exceed 600,000,- 000 bushels, or 615,000,000 bushels at the very utmost The result has been like giving the farmers of the country $50,- 000,000 above what they hoped for or what they would bare felt was a satis factory result This makes the effort of the Farmer*’ Alliance orators to show that the farming interests of the coun try are on the brink ot rain one of unus ual difficulty. The defeat ot McKinley to-day in 'Ohio, a Republican state, wonld mean the destruction of the Republican party, and it is so understood by MeKinley and his party supporters. It may therefore be safely stated that In view of the mag nitude of the crisis, the Republicsns will not permit MeKinley to be detested if there is enough money in the United Staten to prevent it; and with such an enormous pressure to overcome, it would be little short of n miracle should Csmpbell come out the victor. The Re publicans hsve the very existence of their party staked on McKlulsy; and should the champion of protection go down before Uw clans of Campbell, a very nnlikely result, tho rout of Repub licanism wonld bo absolute. : TO-DAY There are four important and seven minor State elections. The most impor tant of’all is New York; the second in importance is Ohio; the third, Masss- Tnsetts; the fourth, Iowa. New York elects its Governor, Lieu tenant Governor, Secretary of State, Comptroller, Treasurer, Attornoy Gen eral, Engineer and Surveyor, Senate and Assembly, ten Justices of the Supreme Court, and Representatives in Congress from four districts. Ohio elects a Governor and other State officers and a Legislature. Harrisou carried the Siate in 1888 by a little less than 20,000 majority. Campbell was elected Governor in 1889against Koraker by 11,000 majority, and yet his vote was 17,000 less than the votes polled for Cleveland. In Massachusetts Mr. Russell was elected in 1890 by 9,000 majoilty. He has made a popular administration, and is himself an exceedingly able canvasser. Tbe prospects are very good for the re election of Mr. Russell by au increased majority Iowa elects a governor, other sfato officers and a legislature. In 1889 Boies, the Democratic candidate,! was elected by 1:1,000 majority. . Colorado elects a Supreme Judge; Ma ryland, a governor and other stuto offi cers (of course Democratic); Michigan, a congressman to fill the vacancy in the fifth district; Mississippi, tile railroad commissioners and legislature; Nebras ka, an associate justice of the supreme court, two regents of tho state universi ty. New Jersey elects part of the sen ate and an assembly: Pennsylvania will elect a treasurer and an auditor general; and Virginia, one half its senate and the house of delegates. THE GALLOWS MUST GO. Public sentiment demands that death shall be the punishment for murder, but it,also demands that the execution shall be relieved of tbe shocking exhibitions so frequent at the hanging of criminals. There was a terrible scone at an execu tion at Redwood Falls, Minn., last week, when a rope broke, and the criminal fell, still alive though insensible, to tho ground. The limp body was again tak en to the scaffold, and with the noose of a rope around its neck it was swung off again, and allowed to swing until life was extinct. Since it is known that the recent executions by electricity in New York wero attended by nono of tbe dis agreeable incidents graphically describ ed by reporters who wore not there, there is no longer excuse for resorting to tbe gallows with its barbarous certain ties and shocking possibilities. If the murderer is to be deprived of life, the work should be done as painlessly and quietly as modern science can do it. OOOD ROADS. The Georgia road congress struok it right when it declared that It was emi nently fit and proper ‘.hat the Georgia convict leaae be abandoned, and that the convicts be put on our publio highways. The public roads, so-called in this State are more of a disgrace than the convict lease system, and the only way to abolish these two evil* la to put the convicts of each county to road making, not working, and let us have what we nover yet have had, decent publio roads in Georgia. It will probably taka fifty years to get any decent roads In Georgia, but If the convicts bad been- put at this work twenty-five years ago, instead of being leased to private parties, a fair showing would by this time have been mado to wards tbe accomplishment of that neces sity of ail civilised countries, good roads.

Seldom in the history of American politics has an election come off that is more significant than that which takes place to-day in a half-dozen States, nota bly New York and Ohio. The overwhelming defeat of Republi canism a year ago simply aroused that party to vigorous organization and re newed their determination to recover their lost ground; and those who expect to see the results if 1890 repeated in tbe election this year will be much mis taken. Flower will no doubt be elected in New York, but he will have no such walk-over as Cleveland and Hill en joyed. In Ohio tbe result is absolutely in doubt up to the couutlng of tile last bal lot, with the chances in favor of McKin ley, as Ohio Is naturally a Republican State by twenty thousand plurality, Massachusetts is Republican but often does unexpected things such for example in electing old Ben Butler Democratic governor; and Russell the present Dem ocratic incumbent is just as likely to be elected as not In Iowa, Boies, Democrat may again be elected; these Republican states have a sort of inconsistent way of electing Democratic governors and oven legisla tures, while casting a big majority for the Republican ticket in presidential years, The results will be awaited with Inter est by everybody, especially in Ohio, where high tariff versus free trade, the classes against the masses, are to engage to-day in a death struggle for the mastery. There is a chiel among us taking notes—a chiel who bears a considerable resemblance, at any rate so far as per- sonal resemblance is concerned, to Charles Dickens. That the American notes of Sir Edwin Arnold, who reached these shores last week, will give evidence of a more friendly and broader spirit than those of the creator of the immor tal Pickwick, goes without saying. For Full line Pearl Buttons, large and small, to the most marked feature of the mind as well os tbe writings of Sir Edwin is bis disposition always to see tho brightest and happiest side of life. The view whieh he takes of everything is as snnny and as kindly as his nature, and we may rost assured that, unlike his brilliant namesake, Matthew Arnold, and numer ous other foreign critics, he will not see us through green glasses.—Now York Tribune. Travelers may learn a lesson from Mr. D. Cone, a prominent attorney of Par ker, Dakota, who says: “I never leave home without taking a bottle of Cham berlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy with me, and on many occasions have run with it to the relief of some sufferer and have never known it to fall. For sale by W. C. Russell, Americus, Ga. Baron Hirscii, the Hebrew philan thropist, is said to be worth $100,000,000. Ho made his wealth chiefly out of con tracts for building Turkish and Transyl vanian railroads. Tbe Rothschilds were his financial backers whon be assumed the contracts, but they got the idea that the railroads would not succeed, and therefore withdrew their support. He then secured assistance from big bank ing firms of Frankfort which he was able to influence through his marriage, and thus obtained funds enough to carry on the groat undertaking. European financier* have been surprised by the enormous suocess of these railroads. They paid from the day they were open ed, and they made one of tbe greatest fortune* in Europe for the bold contrao-' tor who pinned hi* faith to them when other* thought them foolhardy. Every thing be ha* dnee touched has turned to gold. He it a large holder of landed cs- titea and French rentes. It is said hla benefactions for several year* pact have amounted to $1,000,000 annually. Episcopalians are awaiting with deep interest the meeting of the dioce san convention In Macon and the out come for an election for a biehop. Half a dozen prominent clergy have been mentioned in connection with the epis copate, among them Dr. Williams of Augusta, Dr. Foute of San Francisco, Rev. Charles H. Strong of Savannah, and Dr. Galior of Sewanee. It is believ ed the standing committee is also con sidering a northern man. In connection with the name* already mentioned the name of Rev. James Hollowall Kidder, a leading clergyman ot the aioceae ot Central New York, and at present rector of St. Peter 1 * church, Oswego, N. Y., has been suggested. Tbe convention propoeee to elect a bishop this time who will accept the office and who will be acceptable to tbe church. Look, Look!
