It is said that the silver dollars of
1804 are very scercs and are now worth
a pretty premium.
A military company will be organ

Mr. A. G. Jones, who sets the ads.
for the Griffin News, is certainly an
aitist in his line. His ads. are always
unique, attractive and to the point.
Fitzgerald lias set down on the Chi
namau. An almond eyed washee washee
from Macon applied for license to plv
his trade, and he was told to “git out.”
The recent warm spell has induced
the fruit growers of South Georgia to
fear that the fruit crop will be destroy
ed by frost, as the buds are swelling on
all the peach tiees, and some of them
are blooming.
Colonel Jno. S. Caudler lias been
appointed by Governor Atkinson to

laid to rest.
Fitzgerald has drawn the line on
Cuffee and Chan Lang, but it stauds

having their chin whiskers removed.
The brave, chivalrous and hightoned
South Carolinian has cause to hang his
head in sbamo whdti he compares Til

Here is a scientific description of
what happens when you light a fire:
The phosphorus on a match is 'raised
by friction to a temperature of 150
degrees Fahrehueit, at which it ignites.
It raises the temperature of the sul
phur, if it be a sulphur match, to 500
degrees, when the sulphur begins to
burn. The sulphur raises the heat to
800 degrees, when the wood takes up
the work and produces a temperature
of 1,000 degrees, at which the coal
ignites.
County Scoot Hoard.
Au important meeting of the count)
school board was held here last Satur
day, embracing the regular election of
the county commissioner, in addition
to the other busiuess.
There were four applicants for com
missioner's place, Messrs. .1 C. Darnel,
J. Q. Nolan, and Revs. K. M. llooten
and W. T. Griffin, only the two form
er, however, stauding the examination.
Mr Daniel was elected to succeed him
self.
Amoug other bus-ness, the board
repealed a portion of their fuimer
action, by allowing the teachers and
patrons of each school to change the
number of hours to be taught,and make
them just to suit themselves—mauy or
few.
We are requested to ask all the
teachers and citizens of the county to
be at patient as possible with the

utmost endeavors for the best iiuerests
of the entire county, aud will equalize
evarything just as soou as possible.
They promise to remedy all defects
whenever pointed out, and as rapidly
as in their power. There is a defie’en
cy in the school funds this year, which
necessitates some trouble aud disap
pointment, but all will be remedied as
soon as possible. Remember, they
can ODly “do their best”

All kiuds of speculation is dange
rous. Meu everywhere suffer for en
gaging in it, and yet it is so iuvitiug
that many meu overlook its siu and
danger aud follow it to ruin.
The downfall of a citizen of Augus
ta causes the Cronicle to write of the
subject as follows:
“Speculation has ruined a great many
good people. Where one man sue
ceeds, ninety and nine fail. Playing
at faro and other games of chance, leav
ing out the moral aspect of the ques
lion altogether, is an evil small iu com
parrison to the cobssal injuries aud
sorrows that flow from speculation.
The Havana lottery and the Louisiana
lotteries are miuor evils as compared
with the wholesale evil aud brood of
shame and sorrow which flow from
the spirit of speculation that infests our
land. Gambling in futures is the
greatest evil of this generation”

For Years in the System If Not Cured.
This country contains a large multi
tude of men and women who aredehili
fated and weak as the elf ct of la grippe
If every one would do as the R verend
Petty, of Virginia, did, this vast multi
tude of sufferers would soon be well and
strong again. He writes :
Last winter I had a very had case
of la grippe which left me enfeebled
aud liable to cold at the slightest ex
posure. I tried a number of remedies,
but they afforded only temporary re,lief
I saw au advertisement of Pe-ru ua
and coucluded to try it. I have been
using it for two months, and it has af
forded me much relief. It is indeed
a panacea to me. It has invigorated
me more than anything I ever tried.
I have recomended it to others and ad
vised them to send for your phamphlets.

you choose. Rev. H Petty,

The Race Problem.
Mu. Ed:—For our own amusement
and not to show smartness, we have
written this article.
The race problem as seen in the pa
pers alludes chiefly to the negro. It
seems that we are no nearer the solu
tion of this question than we were fifty
years ago. Therefore we leave it for
wiser beads to discuss. There is another
race question that is of more interest to
us at this time than that of the negro,
or black race.
It is the race of the candidates.
Race here has a new meaning, for it
carries with it the idea of runuing.
The “nigger” is an important figure in
this race also. It caunot bo said that
there are as many candidatei as there
are negroes, but it is a great question
as to what shall b come of them. While
there may not be room for all of them,
aud though they are not specially
needed in these parts, we are opposed
to sending them to Africa or to any
other warmer climate. Their hearty
hand shake aud how-is-your folks style
, of greeting impresses us that they are
the cleverest sort of people.
It they should desire to c douize.
why uot let them have laud here a'
home aud latitude for" every industry
known under the Khu, if they choosi !
They should not be compelled to eoimi
grate, for they are our friends.
They should be accorded all the
rights and privileges entitled to good
citizens until they form had habits,
such a 3 the improper use of money,
whisky and tongues. Should they do
this then their race is black and eternal
banishment should be their fate. Ibis
is one kind of black race that should
uot be tolerated in all the earth.
A man who runs such a race invest
himself of all houor and respectability,
and unless he succeeds iu fitigeriug out
of “Uncle Sam's” pocket a sum of
free silver his only reward is shame
aud disgrace. The white race of can
didates is almost extinct. The few
that still exist are loved and honored
in every laud and clime. I hey aie a
noble race, aud whether successtul or
not they are always all right. They
never Use their color.
While they are sometimes exposed
to the mud brushes of the black caudi
dates their garmeuts are always clean.
They are meu of noble spirit aud priu
ciple, men of merit and manhood, ol
courage and sterling character, who
maintain their integrity under all cir
cumstances, aud will not besmirch
their good name by the dirty methods
aud cowardly schemes u-uallv resorted
to in this c untry to obtain office. Mt-y
their number iuarease till their name ;s
legion.
Fighting the devil with the devil's
fire, as i*. is called, is the devil’s doc
triue, in our opinion, aud all good men
should shrink from the idea of puttiug
the idea iuto practice.
Let every candidate lay aside every
weight of unfairness and ruu tho race
before him like a man; then if beaten
lie preserves his self respect and the
esteem of his fellow men, which is
rather to be chosen than gold.
