The law ibnkers of Georgia assembled
Tuesday in Atlanta, and will probably
be in session three months.
Upon boycoting, general principles we are opposed
to but if there wasever a holy
war waged in a righteous cause arid hoy
coting fully justified, it is the effort of
the Southern fanners to break down a
combination formed by captalist gam
blors to wring from them the fruits of
their sweat and toil.
Three Georgians figure in our latest
patent office reports. I. C. Band man
of Atlanta, gets a patent for artificial
fuel. Ik 1. Hampton, of Athens, a pat
ent on a railway pipe heating valve, and
id. B. Wallace, of Dalton, patents a
washing machine. Nor*h Georgia takes
allthe honors this week in the inventions.

A recent suit for damages in Lowell,
Mass., shows how tin* life of one may be
blighted by the meddlesome acts of an
other, and how a just retribution some
times overtakes those who poke their
Hoses into other people's affairs. It seems
that one Dr. Thompson had taken a sort
of Platonic fancy to a. factory girl, be
friended her ami put her on the stage.
By and by along comes one Beale, who
without inquiring very much into her
antecedanm, man-ms her. Dr. Thomp
son is displeased, and writes to Beale,
t< 'ling him of Ids wife's past connection
with the stage and the factory., Beale
thereupon brings separates from his wife, who
suit against Dr. Thompson for
ruining her life by his interference, and
obtains damages from the Dr. to the tune
of $50,000. The supremo court of the
Bay State backs up the jury's verdict,
holding that the doctor's letters could
have had no other motive than malice.

The talk about cutting off a portion of
west Florida and sticking it on to Ala
bam a, is so absurd and unlikely evet to
oee ur, that we can hardly see how any
intelligent person can treat the mutter
seriously. For twenty years, this lias
been the resort of tlie upstart who
chanced to get into the Florida L'gisla
ture, and could think of nothing else to
say, and the blatherskite who wauled to
kill lime and make six dollars a day
when he never made one at home. No
real effort has been made, nor is likely to
be made. Nobody wants it unless
bly, a f«*w nm-down-at-the-heel noliti
dans who ought to g» t out of Florida,
for Florida’s good. If such a project
was ever feasible, it was years ago, when
the west Florida delegates had ie come
to Tallahassee by private conveyance else
passthrough Georgia, tlie capitals of Alabama
aud and pass near the capital of
Tennessee to get to the capital of their
own state. The division was not desim
ble then, and is much less so now, since
the F. – A, R. R. traverses the western
tier of counties. There is but one Fieri
da, ami there cun be no other state like
it. Therefore keep it intact.

Although unknown to the people
of Sclilev, the editor of the “News” is
not altogether a stranger in this section.^
It was in the grand old county of Sum

century m oUht lam s among othei people .
have failed to obliterate from the tablet
of our memory those early impression
and that “better land” we never found.
To again settle ... c.own . so near the scenes
of our boyhood, among people so identi
cully the same in thought, action, and
modes of living, as those with whom we
first „ . associated, . . is . ... lixe leturmng , . home, ,
and li t us state, right here, gentle reader,
we have come to stay, and the News has

of Schley , , county , is . to . peruse our co*umn.s ,
and p.itiomze 11 s it we merit it.
It will be our earnest endeavor to
make the Schley County News just
what its name implies: a codification
of the weekly occurrences of Schley
county, with such State, general, and
other news, editorial comment, pungent
paragraphs, and short stories as will in
terest the general reader. We solicit, the
cooperation of citizens all over the coun
ty. Short, crisp, newsy communications
will be highly appreciated and iliose
learning of any occurrence of general in
terest. and not having the time or the in
clination to write. will receive a hearty
welcome at our office when they come to
town, if they will drop in and tell us the
news of their neighborhood.
Agriculture being the basis of wealth,
and the main shaft, around which re
voices the business of the universe, we
could not be true to the interest of Schley
county and to our own interest, did we
not do all in our power to foster and en
courage this most importont of all indus
tries, Not being a practical farmer, we
feel incompetent to advise farmers in
matters pertaining to agriculture, but
we will labor in their behalf whenever
the opportunity is presented, and will
open our columns to those engaged in
this honorable occupation, and invite
such correspondence as is calculate to in
terest and benefit tillers of the soil. We
hope our farmers will not be slow to
take advantage of this offer. If one
knows a good thing, let him make it
known to others, and by general exchan
ges of ideas and experiences, all will be
benefited.

determined to adopt at once the policy in

for the past three or four years in the
“Tallahusseeau” office—give the prefer

mistakes and blunders until they can

would purfcuw this policy. It gives em
