CONGRESS MEETS ON AUGUST 7TH.
The President Issues His Proclamation
and Gives His Reasons.
The President’s proclamation call
ing for an extra session of congress,
will be read with pleasure and favor
ably commented on throughout the
land:
Executive Mansion, Washington, D. C.,
June SO, 1893.—Whereas, The distrust
and apprehension concerning the finan
cial situation which pervade all business
circles have already caused great loss
and damage to our people, and threaten
to cripple our merchants, stop the wheels
of manufacture, bring distress and
privation on our fanners and withhold
from our workingmen the wages of labor;
and
The Savannah Press says that “Mr.
Stanhope Sams, who missed the Persian
mission, has been awarded the Presidency
of the Atlanta Bicycle Club.”
The political recognition of South
western Georgia will be an assured fact
in future. There is no mistaking this.
Columbus Enquirer.
Whereas, The present perilous condi
tion is largely the result of the financial
policy which the executive branch of the
government finds embodied in unwise
laws which must be executed until re
pealed by congress. Now, therefore, I,
Grover Cleveland, President of the
United States, in performance of my con
stitutional duty, do by this proclamation
declare that extraordinary occasion re
quires the convening of both houses of
the congress of the United States at the

Ben Russell at the White House.
Congressman Ben Russell has had
quite a talk with Mr. Cleveland relative
to South Georgia. The genial Congress
man did riot mince words when speaking
about that section. He spoke of the
loyalty of the people of lower Georgia
and their firmness to Democracy. The
President has had the wants of both
Middle and South Georgia well present
ed to him by the Congressmen of the
lower districts. There is very little left
in the way of plums for the faithful, but
there may be a hope felt that wbat therd
is to spare may go to the sections as yet
unnoticed. *
France has a population ot 38,344,000
inhabitants and a standing army of

The total French budget is $650,000,000
and the expenses of the ministers of

third of this yearly appropriation.

Here is an item from the Bainbridge
Democrat which should encourage small
farmers in that section: “There is a
truck farmer near Macon, Ga., who is
making money above a living on eleven
acres of land. He sells melons, vegeta
bles, berries, peaches, apples, milk, but
ter, etc., is busy all the time, contented
and happy.”
. Mr. Fuller Will Resign at Once.
A card from )--<•»: master Fuller to the
public will be foun j in another column
to-day. Mr. Fuller informs the Herald
that he will resign once and we there
fore refrain from «. riticism ands charges
which would doubtless have been ex
pected of u4 and which, as in duty
bound, we should have made. The
Herald feels very kindly and charitably
toward Mr. Fuller as our past attitude
in the postoffice matter has] proven, and
in view of his statement to the public
we are disposed to draw the veil of charity
and now let bygones be bygones,provided
of course that Mr.JFuller’s resignation is
tendered at once. This, in behalf of
the people and the party, the Herald
demands.
From Ben Russell.
Tbe following note was received
by tbe Herald this morning, and
speaks for itself. Ben is making the
fur fly whenever he gets a chance:
Washington, D. C., June 29,1893.
Dear Herald : — Please send me
your evening paper. I need it in my
business. My address is 248, 3d street,
N. W. I am trying to get the rascals
out in the Second, and am meeting with
some success.
Yours faithfully,
Ben E. Russell.
The Press in China.
M. Imbault Huart, the French Con
sul at Cantcn, has recently been giving
some interesting particulars concerning
journalism in China. The first of the
non-official Chinese newspapers appear
ed at Shanghai thirty years ago, and was
succeeded by two papers started at
Tientsin and Canton. These three pa
pers were nominally started by Euro
peans, who, however, only lent their
names to the lettered Mandarins, who
were their real proprietors and conduc
tors. The French Jesuits have also
founded a paper, which now appears
twice a week. The Chinese papers are
now read in the most distant part of the
Empire, and the Shanghai News, which
has for the last seven years published
an illustrated weekly supplement, has a
circulation of 12,000.
The Home Newspaper.
A newspaper is the greatest help to
the growth of a town that can be. It is
a standing advertisement whicji always
attracts. It gives more free puffs and
explanations of the place than all others.
It never lets pass a good opportunity to
advocate the interests of its home enter
prises. It helps all the churches and
never fails to speak out for its schools—
resents all insinuations against the char
acter of the citizens and industries of the
town ; it lives but to benefit the commu
nity. To repay its untiring efforts it
asks the support of the people, not in a
begging manner, but as a recompense
for its labor. It is entitled to a liyeli-
hood because it gives more than it takes.
It only asks for its rights, and thege it
should have.—Leader.

Cashier Cunningham Arrested.
Cashier Frank E. Cunningham, of the
Brunswick State Bank, has been arres
ted for receiving deposits after knowl
edge of the insolvency of the bank. The
grand jury found a true bill against Mr.
Cunningham. Judge Sweat placed the
bond at $2,500 which was given. The
Times suggests that there are twenty
others in the city fully as culpable as
Cunningham.
“Tommy,” said the visitor, “have

“Yes. He caught three catfish and
an eel.” “How do you know that?”
‘Cause I was him.” > 4
