A Car Load of Exposition Exhibits Sent to Atlanta To-day for the Piedmont— Mr. Ross Deserving of tireat Praise for His Perseverance. Mr. J. F. Ross, who has charge of Sumter’s exhibit at the Piedmont expo sition in Atlanta, will to-day ship his collection of novelties for that inter state fair. While the aggregation is notaltogether so good as might have been wished, yot, Mr. Ross, through great exertion and oontinual canvassing has succeeded In collecting togother an exhibit that will prove of credit to the county and people, ’Tis a pity that Sumter county did not take more interest in the matter, and by individual effort assist Mr. Ross in his arduous work. There aro few counties in the state that can make a better show ing, and Sumter only needs the proper amount of advertising to rank among tho banner corps of Georgia. To Mr. Ross should be given great praise for bis noble and effective work to demonstrate to ,tl»o outside world our varied resources, and his show in At lanta, reflecting credit as it does upon tills section which he represents, will re dound to his own good. Tho Piedmont Exposition is an insti tution of vital importance to our people, as can be readily estimated from the re sults of tho past, and too much attention cannot be paid to it by those who pos sess articles which go to prove our supe riority as a section over the rest of tho world, Greatly has i t aided tho develop ment of tho now south and more materi ally yet will It rendor assistance. Let everyone help to swell the exhibit. Illc! Not Wnnt to Live. Yesterday afternoon a negro carpenter named Henry Brown obtained through some one else about twenty grains of morphine, and then had another negro to got about twenty-five more grains for him. He then put tho one dose in a glass of water and tho othor in a glass of whisky, whilst doing which ho stood with an open razor in Ills hand and frightened those around from interfering with him. The fellow succeeded in his intention so far as to drink both glasses of tho stuff, aftor which he locked him self in a room and threw himself on a bed. In about thirty minutes after he had done so, those who saw what he had done summoned courage enough to call a doctor. As soon as Dr. Winchester arrived and loarned what had been done, he broke open the door of tho room with an axe and found tho man lying on a bod face-downward and in a perfectly re laxod condition, but the doctor used his stomach pump vigorously and in a short while oxtractod everything that had not boon absorbed. Under tho doctor’ treatment Brown rccovorod sufficiently to walk up town with him. Upon being questioned ns to his motive for trying to do away with himself, ho replied that he had had n difficulty with Ids wifo and did not care to live any loDgor.

LOTT WAllltKN. octlld2t\vlt The Macon Fair. Tho Southwestern is certainly getting in shape to handle a crowd during expo sition week. Eight of the best coaches in the servico are being thoroughly over hauled and repaired, and they will be put on the special train to run in daily from Cuthbert These coaches will com fortably accommodate 100 passongers, and they aro being put in a condition to haul their full capacity. The train will bo .all ready to go down to Cutbbert Sunday week. This will afford ample facilities for our people to go to Macon, and no doubt the usual big crowds will visit tho Cen tral City during tho coming fair. There seems to bo no doubt that Macon will make extraordinary exertions to make this occasion surpass any previous exhi bition held under the auspices of the State Agricultural Society, as tho city is now on her mettle to mako this such a success as will leave tho comparison a decidedly favorable ono in for Mrcon. #7HEATLEY£_. W After the Cleveland t'uttern. The many friends of Doctor and Mrs. Albert Hinkle will be pleased to extend congratulations this morning upon tho arrival in the youthful society circles of this city of a charming little miss who is gladden the hearts of her parents and be a source of joy to her grand parents as well. The mother and babe are doing well, while Doctor J. B. Ilinkle, who now as sumes the venerable status of a grand father, is said to be the happiest man in towu, next to the happy father. The Timks-Rkcokdek wishes the lit tle miss a long life and unalloyed happi ness. The Courts.

Indianapolis Journal: It is likely that the new third party will cause Mr. Cleveland many sleepless nights from now on. New Haven Register: One touch of nature makes the whole world kin Everybody is congratulating ex-I’resi- dent Cleveland now. Brooklyn Eagle: May the little daughter grow to,womanhood as gentle, gracious and exemplary as that which the mother incarnates and incites. Richmond Dispatch: We extend to Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland our congratula tions upon the birth of their daughter. They should name her Virginia. St. Louis Republic: We regret to say it, but Mrs. Cleveland has disappointed tho just expectations of Democrats throughout the country. It Bhould have been a boy! Washington Post: It can no longer be said by ids Republican enemies that Grover Cleveland is opposed to the in fant industries of this country. New York Advertiser: Mr. Cleveland’s statement that the baby is good may he taken as an early notification to those whom it may concern that It is not likely to require any of its father’s personal at tention during the next presidential cam- daign. Kansas City Times: If tho mothers of the land had a voto nothing could defeat Mrs. Cleveland’s election to any stated office. A demand for tier reinstatement at tho White House may ariso which will knock into smithereens any local squabbles In New York. Baltimore Sun: Mr. Cleveland has al ways proclaimed that public office is a public trust, and ho has now shown that he recognizes his obligation in private life to what tho political economists and philosophers have always declared to be ono of the highest duties of tho true patriot. Baltimore News: Our joy is tompered with sympathy, as wo aro on tho edge of winter, and theso young and innocent parents do not know what is before them. Besides, Mr. Cleveland is not built to walk a shouting baby In a cold room at midnight in abbreviated attire, witli credit to himself, benefit to the country, or comploto satisfaction to either his wife or tho baby.

V Gentleman In This CltT, Conversant With the History of the Matter, Tell- of the Swamp I- efacres From the Lost Ship “Wanderer.” Whilst everybody and his wife is agog over the subject of Gen. Henry R. Jackson’s promised speech to be deliv ered before the Y. M. C. A. of Atlanta, it may not be inappropriate to state that there were two vessels which left the coast of Africa with cargoes of natives to be smuggled into gome Southern port. Whether it was originally intended that the vessels were to land somewhere on the Savannah river is not certainly known; but many of them interested in the traffic were from that section, and when one of the vessels was captured by the United States naval forces and car ried to Charleston, S. C. f the other found a retreat up the Savannah river. The cargo was landed and hidden in the swamps several miles north of the present Charleston & Savannah railroad, from which point it was distributed among tho speculative owners. Many who fell to the lot of those who lived in the neighborhood of whero the cargo was landed remained in seclusion in that dense swamp, and emancipation found them there. They have therefore never left it, and only now come out in times of high water; such times as when tho river rises to thirty feet at Augusta. They have never mixed either with the white or, indeed, with the negro popula tion, except in isolated cases. They are there now, and tho negroes of the sur rounding country cannot Bpeak freely with them. Give America* a Show. From tho Atlanta Journal of yester day we clip the following: The railroad commission this morn ing ordered the Richmond Terminal Company to build three new depots on the Central raiiroad. Ono at Shellman, one at Perry and another at Forsyth.” Here aro throe new depots to be built by £the Central railroad| at points of comparative insignificance and one of them at least, Forsyth lias already depot accommodations superior to Americus. Tho railroad authorities should bo forced to supply us with facilities at least in fair keeping with the great amount of business they transact from and to this point. What Shakeupcare Might Have Said. To take or not to take; that in the question. Wh-ther *tla better fora man to suiter The pangs ami torments ot indigestion, Or something tuke, and, in its taking, end them. Shakespeare didn’t say that, but very likely lie would have said something similar, if he were living in this 19th century, when so many suffer untold agonies from indigestion. Of course ho would have gone on to say that a man must be a fool not to take tho “some thing” which would put an end to tho “pangs and toripents” spoken of, if ho could get it. Now it is a fact that weak ened, impoverished blood brings on in digestion, which is the cause of dyspep sia, constipation—a poisoned condition of the whole system—and it is a fact, also, that Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery will so purify the blood and enrich it that all the weakened organs are revitalized and strengthened. It is guaranteed to do this. If it doesn’t your money will bo returned to you. A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY!
