The Vote of Schley County, We have time only to give the county vote haven’t time to give it by districts, Gordon ... 243 Bacon .... 122 Crisp 361 McArthur 3 Atlanta goes dry to-day. We are glad that our old county (Terrell) went for Gordon. The mother of Editor Henna, of the Butler Herald, is dead aged 56 years. A TURTLE weighing 2-30 lbs and 124 t-ggs was captured on the beach at Cumberland, After July 1st you can visit At- Jant without any uneasiness ou the part of your wife, as prohibition goes into effect in that city on that day. Judge John T. Ci. \rk, of Cuth- bert, lias been elected Prof, of An¬ cient languages of Mercer Univer¬ sity at recent meeting of the hoard of trustees. Wish somebody would .stop the Patriot from growling about us be¬ ing so popular. Can’t some of his Bacon friends give him a piece of “Bacon” and bread. A negro at Sylvania, Ga., ninety years of age lias been buried in a coffin made out of lumber which he had worked for and saved for fif¬ teen years for that purpose. The Augusta Chronicle heads the Gordon victory in Lincoln county “A most unheard of condition of jHilitical affairs.” We are afraid the .Statesman's mind is wandering. 214 persons poisoned by eating ice cream in Philadelphia at a picnic. It is thought six of them will die. From the best clue, it is thought that arsenic was put in with mur¬ derous intent by some one. It seems that the Gordon men in Mr. Bacon’s audiences are begin- ning to ask him some very enihar- rasaing questions. His friends ad- vise him not to answer any ques¬ tions. Gen. Gordon, on the other hand, cordially invites the Bacon men to pull their little catechisms on him. Watch for new slanders oil Gor¬ don. Watch for new tricks of the Bacon men. Avoid “uninstructed” tickets; vote straight for Gordon; work hard; sleep with one eye open and spare not an hour until the last vote is cast and the last delegate elected. Any one in want of such things can find three bachelor critics on Whom no poor woman has ever taken pity, enn find one in Dawson, one in Bueua Vista and’ one in Montezuma. As most of thfc women are for Gordon (who is sure to win) we can account in part for these critics being baches, they are for “Bacon” which means a long race that never wins. Cadet George F. Cooper, of Ameftctis, who has been attending the naval school, at Annapolis, Md., recently graduated and has been as¬ signed to duty on the Vandalia. Capt. Harrison,now at the Brooklyn navy yard. On first entering the j school George was one of a class of 65, only 2.3 of whom graduated, and ; 1»e was was 15th in his class. This i is a pretty good showing for George when it is considered that he left over 60 per cent, of class behind. There is so much truth in this: Many a child goes astray, not be¬ cause there is a grievance at home, hut simply because home lacks sun¬ shine. A child needs smiles as the flowers need sunbeams. Children ook little beyond the present mo¬ ment. If a thing pleases, they are apt to seek it; if it displeases they are apt to avoid it. If home is a place where faces are sour and harsh, and fault-finding ever ascendant, they will spend as many hours as possible elsewhere JU . ... Macon i ot n i v, G.\.,Juiie Editor Enterprise:— This be¬ ing the year for the selection of men to fill the various offices of responsi¬ bility anti trust in the state ami her various Jcjuntlw I beg leave to submit a few suggestions to the many readers of your most valuable paper, especially to those counties composing the thirteenth Senatorial district. President Cleveland, has inaugurated a system of civil re¬ form has been and Is still removing many of the Republicans from the various offices of the govern¬ ment, who have shared largely of the spoils of which the government has been plundered since they have been in power, and appointing in their stead, men of ability, honesty and integrity, of the ranks of the Democratic parry. Scintillations of a brighter day is dawning in our pol¬ itical horizon and the departed glory of our southern liberties are again returning and under the guidance and control of a true and honest democratic administra¬ tion of our government, it will in a future day shine witii still greater luster and grandeur, giving equal rights to all its citizens. Now how- are all these results to be brought about ? By bestowing our political and Judicial honors upon men of houes- ty, integrity reliability and capabil¬ ity, that these honors may be worth¬ ily worn, and the functions of each, and ail of our offices be performed, witii proficiency and ability that would reflect much credit upon one office holder of whom every citizen should be proud. Legislative hon¬ ors for the last twenty years, have deteiorated and faded into utter in¬ significance from the result of their having been unworthily bestow¬ ed upon the incompetent and the ignorant of all classes and colors. Honors thus, bestowed would shine with equal luster upon the head of a mule as on these. The time has come when a wiser legislation is Imperatively de¬ manded. We should lay aside per¬ sonal, preferences in the selection of men to represent us in the various departments of our government, and resolve in the future to place no man in any office of honor or trust, but those that are competent. By looking carefully around us we will find many to-day that are clamoring for political honors unmertoriously. I regard it a great presumption in their sufferage to elevate them to a seat in the legislative halls, of the country, that their names might be written in the catalogue of fame and renown. Of late years it seems much easi¬ er to gratify ones self for filling po¬ sitions of honor and distinction. Elect one to the office of constable, and if lie is successful in making a few levies, he feels at once that after collecting a few execution lie ought to be consigned to a higher post of duty. Place one upon the Board of Commissioners of R aids and Revenues or make him Admin- istrator lie becomes very clamorous for greater and higher honors and they become so presistent there is no way to get rid of them only to put them in a race before the people tor a seat in the legislature, and them a stunning reproof through the ballot box. \\ bile I am opposed to the rotation system I am not disposed to deny to Macon or Schley counties the right to fur¬ nish a man to represent the 13th Senatorial district in their turn pro¬ vided they give us one that is com¬ petent and well qualified to look af¬ ter, protect, and defend our nights and interests. I am always glad when Sumter’s time rotates for she always gives us an honorable and able representation that engender a spirit of pride in the heart of the entire constituency. Let ’ us look well to all of ofir public interest in the future by placing men in our our offices of trust and honor that will give char¬ acter and tone to our representa¬ tives by leaving the ignorant at home in their proper spheres of life where we are willing to award to them the highest encomium 6r honor, that pertain to their prop- er spheres of life.

I lull of t “ n - ch,b of twent ^ Seml for 8 P eci,nen C( W’ Address, The Patriot, Buena Vista, Ga. New* From Fiiinam. Putnam, Ga., June 28th, 1886. Where is “Robert ?" Cotton is blooming. j Dr. McMicheal reports much slck- ness. Did ever know politics so high ? and men So low? There must yet be plenty of work to do as the “loafers” are yet few. The hoys, last Saturday, went on a bird hunt. They brought in about - forty. W. P. Persons has ten acres of corn that will average ten feet high. Miss Ellenor Knowlton, Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Wiggins and Mrs. W. A. Ranks were visiting Putnam last week. From the range of the Patriots “Number two,” it has fired at the wrong mark. Hut we presume “No 1” is able to take care of him¬ self, as we well know the party for whom he seems to intend his“Num- Iht t wo,” is. George Munroe is home from Emory to spend part of Ids vaca¬ tion,George has already spent three terms at Emory, entered upon his last year next term. 1 Ie has done that which but few others, have done. Although not forced to do so, he has by industry each vacation, earned money sufficient to bear his expences through the next year. George is hound to he successful,and we hope others may profit by his example. The Editor of the Patroit wants “some of the subscribers of the En¬ terprise lo send Editor Harp a mess of something,” and suggests ‘polk salad.” It seems to us per- leetly natural that Harp being something of an spicure, should crave the fruits and vegetables that never grow in an Editors sanctum. But it seems a little strange, that beef, pork and mutton, cannot satis¬ fy the carniverous appetite of the Patriot as well as Bulk meat (Bacon.) C. Tobacco and Cancer. Dr. Crabtree of Boston, gives the following testimony on tobacco us¬ ing: “Is cigar smoking productive of cancer?” The answer, by every physician of experience in mucus and blood diseases, must be in the affirmative. Among men tobacco using is almost the sole cause of cancer, i have had no little experience of this disease* and after nearly thirty years of careful observation I solemnly de¬ clare that I have never met with a case of cancer of the lip, tongue, throat or face that I did not trace to tobacco using—smoking mostly— as the cause, Cigar smoking was sometimes the only way these victims used tobacco. Catelain, the great Parisian caterer, died of smoker’s cancer. Dr. Liza enumerates many cases in his ex¬ perience where smoking produced cancer. But why go to France or England home? for evidence found Hill? at Where is Senator or, worse, Why our General Grant. Why try to hide so notorious a fact that cigar smoking killed our great¬ est general? Dr. Douglas said “Smoking was the exciting cause of this cancer.” I once had a case of a man with cancer of the lip just where he held his cigar. 1 induced him to leave off smoking while un¬ der treatment. After a few months a cure was seemingly effected,when he resumed the habit of smoking, followed by a return of the disease. Again he came to me, and we went over the same routine as before. After that he gave up the use of to¬ bacco, and had no return of the dis¬ ease. As so another case, a pipe smoker. The lip healed, and so re¬ mained till he returned to smoking, when the cancer returned. Not willing to give up his pipe lie went to a “eaneer doctor,” who applied a plaster, and draw “drew out the cancer,” (Can you up a well?) Soon the cancer returned tenfold as mal¬ ignant, drawn into the wound, of course, from ail over the system,and the victim died in horrid disfigure¬ ment and agony.” “Certainly tobacco using in any form endangers the user to cancer. Snufftakers ofter have cancer of the nose and face. Dr. Barker (Lon¬ don) British Medical Journal,points to 76 cases of epithelioma, or what Buzenent calls “plaques des fum- eurs,” of whom 71 smoked, and in only hereditary (Hie case predisposition of the 75 was there to cancer. Yes cigar smoking is productive of cancer.”—Hall’s Journal of Health.
