RAIN MADE TO ORDER
When through the persistent efforts of
Hon C. B. Farwell, of Chicago, congress
was induced to appropriate a small sum
of money for an experiment in rain
making in the arid regions of this conn-
| try, then its and paragraphers of the

Tiie Savannah banks have formed a

the transaction of business, and that
city is the only one in Georgia that has
taken so progressive a step, although At

Col. C. B. Wooten is prominently
spoken of for congress in the second dis
trict, since lion. H; G. Turner has
been redistricted. It may be said in this
same connection that Judge J. II.

Virtuous little Hilly Chandler of
New Hampshire, who helped steal the
electoral votes of Florida for Hayes is
very much wrought up because every
body “with a pull” rides free on the
New England railroads. He says: “Cor
ruption by free passes and mileage
tickets is almost universal.”
Congressman Jerry Simpson said
nothing about the People’s party when
he was making specclios in this state,
but in an interview in Washington the
other day lie declared the south was
ripe for a break to that party. Isn’t
Jerry a little too enthusiastic in his
statement about this mattor.
The timo will come when the 04 anti*
Confedorate home members of the pres

that they ever wove members of this
particular body, much less voted against

ceedingly hot for these $4 a day patriots.
Superintendent Porter does not mo
nopolize all the statistics. Some persons
not in the census service are doing work
about as useful and reliable as some of
Ills. For example, a New York genius
has estimated that the girls of that city
wear four hundred miles of garters every
year. Ho ought to bo made a “Knight

The Brunswick Times was sold at a
receiver’s sale to John M. Tison, J. K.
duHignou and S. C. Littlefield for $25,-
000. Edwin Hrobston and the three
purchasers were the only men who
scorned desirous of purchasing it. Brob*
ston ran the price up and quit bidding.
McCook will remain editor for the
present, and probably permanently.
Men certainly do chango with the
times. Six years ago this summer the
railroads of Georgia agreed to pay
$25,000 in a certain quarter if the rail
road commission bill were killed. To
day we find the representative of the
greatest system in the south advocating
a national commission. This is au
evidence that the Georgia commission
has not proved to be the oppression
which the railroads feared it Would be.

The ranch of Nelson Morris, compris

There a shed was built, in which the
oxyhydrogen gas was made and the bal
loon inflated. Three classes of experi
ments were made. One was the explo
sion on the earth of giant powder and
rend-rock bombs; the second of sending
to a lofty height large cloth kites, heavi
ly loaded with dynamite cartridges.
These were exploded by an electric cur
rent sent to them through the wire used
instead of a kite string. The third was
by balloons charged .with oxyhydrogen
gas, exploded at a height of 5,000 feet.
A copious rain followed close after the
first explosion; it continued several
hours over a large area. Four other ex
periments were made, and were attended
by similar results.—Manufacturers Rec

Ol'R * ELATION* WITH CHILI.
It cannot he said that Mr. Blaine has
managed our affairs in Chili with pro
found sagacity. It looks very much as
if some mistakes have been made that
will cost this country dearly. The whole
lulluence of our government from the
beginning of the war in Chili until its
close was against the party that is victo
rious There is therefore a very bitter
feeling in that country against Ameri
cans. It is so bitter that American com
merce will likely suffer on account of it.
At no time does the state department

THE GOLDEN TIDE SET IN.
All signs point to a prosperous year in

of commerce during the past week were
the shipment of $2,500,000 gold from
France and Germany to this country,

that Europe will buy our surplus pro

people of the metropolis of Southwest

proudly claims and sustains.
The Hotel Windsor is a native born
Georgia name. It is a name that lias

has it been connected witli the erection
of our magnificent new hotel.
The ‘'Hotel Windsor” is named in

Benjamin Einstein, the assignee of
Abraham Backer, declares that though
ho has had much to do with bankrupt
estates, he has never had anything to do
with any other one that puzzled him so
much as this oue of Backer. And he
lias been compelled to ask the court to
grant him more time in which to become
better acquainted with Hacker’s affairs.
Backer failed for $4,000,000, and yet the
assignee lias found only $250,000. More
than $3,000,000 lias gone somewhere,
but where ? That is the question that is
puzzling the assignee aud Backer's
creditors. And tlie queerest fact of the
whole business is that Backer can give
no account of the vast amount
of property that ought to be
in his hands. At least he says he
cannot, but it is bard to convince people
that his ignorance is genuine. The
banks were wonderfully deceived in
Backer. A month or so before his fail
ure he could have obtained almost any
amount from them without other secur
ity than his own indorsement. Accord
ing to the showing which the assignee
makes, however, ho must have beeu in
solvent for years.
A GOOD COLLEGE.
Attention is called to tho advertise
ment of Southwest Georgia Agricultural
and Military College atCutbbert, Ga., of
which Col. L. \V. Haskell is president.
The college will be run regardless of
the action of the legislature, as the prep
aration already made was until January,
1892.
The inpidental fee is $5 per term, or
$10 for a year.
This is a good school, and has been
patronized by a good many Sumter

Gen. Harris of West Virginia, who
it appears was a member of tlie court
martial that condemned Mrs. Surratt to
death, is preparing for publication a
history of the war in which he makes
tho charge that Jefferson Davis and

Cabinet were aware of and encouraged
the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.
It is evident that tho enemies and the
slanderers of tho dead President of tho
Confederacy are determined to pursue
him even beyond the grave, but not a
single man in this country, or in Europe,
who has the slightest acquaintance with
the life or character of Jefferson Davis
will believe for a moment that he had

This is the most sensible thing that
has yet been said on the proposed joint

the members of tho legislature to have a
joint debate on the railroad question be

Livingston is diilicult to comprehend.
Neither of them has any information re
