The press in South Georgia are mani
festing considerable interest in the pro
position of the Enquirer-Son for united
action to obtain State and Federal polit
ical recognition for this section. The
ball grows.—Columbus Enquirer-Sun.
The kindly interest manifested by
the Enquirer-Sun io South Georgia
has been duly noted and is highly ap
preciated in this section. If a few
more of the big dailies north of the
dead line were as much inclined to
do justice as they are to demand it,
quite a different state of affairs might
exist in this section. The Enquirer-
Sun is the first of the dailies in the
northern portion of the state to come
to our rescue, and plead our cause.
The press and the people of South
Georgia will please make a mem
orandum of this fact.
In the readjustment of salaries of
postmasters the Marietta postoffice
salary wes reduced from 82,000 to

This country is big enough and free

is we hope so.

OURSELVES AND NEIGHBORS.
Wasting Time.
The press of the South is wasting
much valuable time writing up “the
coming bitter campaign.” We see
no necessity for attempting to cross
tbe river 'till we reach it. The truth
of the matter is that the prognostica
tions of bitter strife in thefnture,
comes mainly from those who are dis
gruntled or dissatisfied with the ad
ministration and who have to some
extent, lost interest in the party.
The straight democracy must fight it
out on the old tine, concessions and
compromises are weakening and de
grading. Let’s have no deserters;
If it ever should happen that we
must surrender—which God forbid—
let’s all go down together. If it be
true that tbe time that tries men’s
souls is near at hand, let us close up
the ranks and stand together firmly,
bravely and compactly. Democrats
should stick to their platform and
sustain the administration. It is
wasting time to do anything else.
And now we can look forward to
the repeal of tbe Sherman law and
hope for better times in the future.
Tis distance lends enchantment to
the view.

Jacksonville is about to enter upon
another of her far famed municipal

The Savannah News says that “Dr
Brenner has returned from Brunswick
where he went to investigate the yel
low fever up the Satilla river.” As
the Satilla river point was near sixty

Movement of Melons.
Melon shipments up to date ore
considerably in advance of the same
time last.year, but the chances are
that shipments will drop off very
much this week. It is not likely that
this year’s crop will be anything like
as large as last year’s. This time

prime, while now it is on the decline.
Prices are very low everywhere. One
gentleman got returns yesterday from
two cars shipped north several days
ago. One car did not bring enough
to pay freight and the other only
netted s few cents over a dollar.
Unless prices improve shipments will
soon cease, as present prices will not
pay the expense of loading. Some
thing like a thousand cars were ship
ped last week, but this week will fall
far shurt of that number, while next
week will be still shorter. It is
thought that by the fifteenth almost,
if not quite the full crop will be
marketed. There ■ were shipped
June 1st, 116 cars; June 1st, 1692,
54; total up to date including June
1st, 1893, 2,362; same date, 1892.
2,112. It will be seen from the
above figures that 250 more cars have
been shipped this year than last.

Harry Hill, the Atlanta forger, is
at last freed from prison. He was
liberated last night. His aunt, Mrs.
Casey, went on his bond. Here is a
man who acknowledges to have stolen
nearly $100,000 turned loose upon
the world unwbipt of justice. He
can now run for office and perhaps
be elected.

The Herald thinks it has played well
its part when it state), with some degree
of certainty, that Mr: Haines will get the

A NOVEL METHOD-
7b the Officers and Members of the Endow
ment Rani, Knights of Pythias :
The failure during the early part of
last month of the Banking House of R.
R. Robinson & Co., at Wilmington, Del.,
in .which a part of the funds of the Su
preme Lodge were deposited by Supreme
Master of Exchequer, & J. Wiley, has
doubtless come to the knowledge of a
number of members of the jUnk and the
Order. From correspondence received
at this office, as well as It the office of
the Board of Control, it appears that
much apprehension has been felt by the
Order, especially by the members of the
Endowment Rank, for the safety of its
funds and the relationship of the moneys
of the Supreme Lodge to those of the
Rank,
1 therefore deem it a duty to inform
the Order generally that the Board of
Control have exclusive charge of the
funds of the Endowment Rank, which
are safely deposited at the depository of
that branch of the Order, and that the
funds of the Supreme Lodge involved in
the failure referred to have no connec
tion whatever with those of the Rank.
s All moneys received by the Board of
Control on account of the Endowment
Rank are deposited daily in the Endow,
ment Rank deposi^>ry and are secured
beyond possibility of ioss. In addition
to the security guaranteed by the Na
tional Bank of first-class standing and
excellent reputation, being one of the
designated depositories of the United
States, a bond in the sum of $250,000,
fully approved as to securities, has been
given the Board of Control to secure the
Rank against loss.
I trust this information will prove suf-
ficent to allay all fears for the safety of
the funds of the Endowment Rank.
The careful and prudent management
of the Board of -Control and the ever
watchfulnes of its President, Brother
J. A. Hinsey, of the affairs of the Rank
is an evidence to the Order, not only
of the safety of its funds but also of the
security and reliability of this great ben
eficial feature of our Order, the member,
si-ip of which has reached over 32,000,
with a total luaucance in. force of seven
ty millions of dollars and with a record
of having disbursed in death losses over
seven and a half million of dollars; in
in fact, a branch of the Order guaran-
teeing to Pythians the best and most re
liable fraternal insurance at less than
half the old-time cost and which should
receive the hearty support of every
member. Fraternally yours,
W. W. Blackwell.

Asbury Park, July 6.—James A.

of the Asbury Avenue Pavillion sus
pended from the ceiling is a wire waste-
paper basket filled with half a hundred
watches. A tag bears the following
announcement:
It reporter* of well known reputation
will ascree to ilrop the word •‘founder”

signed will give one of the watches here
