And now the talk is that Harrison may be a candidate for the republi can nomination. The world is putting on its working cdothes again to-day. May all who arc willing to work find something to do. The failure of J. W. Burke & Co. will be regretted throughout the state. It was the oldest house in Macon. Atlanta’s pawn shops are said to be booming. It is sometimes difficult to tell where a bank ends and a pawn shop begins. The question is, which railroad will go next? About the only safe system we know of in Georgia is the Plant System. Hogc, of Virginia, appointed as Consul to C hina, after a hearing, has been dismissed for getting on a jag *n route to his post. And now everybody is wondering bow the Atlanta papers will pull in the matter of the exposition. Of course they both cant pull the same way. The Herald is now urging the citizens of Way cross to organize public library. This is a commenda ble effort on the part of the Herald. — Banner.

A Million People ont of Employment and Two Million Dependent. Here is an interesting statement about the number of people out of work. It is from Bradstreet’s, which agency has- been trying reliable figures on that sub ject. Correspondents in one hundred and nineteen of the principal cities in the country send reports showing that there are enforced idleness in these cities of 801,833 wage-earners, and that nearly 2,000,000 arc dependent on these idle workmen. A Summerry of^he reports is.given as follows: New England, 6,200 unemployed; 154,400 dependent. ew York and New Jersey, 223,230 unemployed; 563,750 dependent. Pennsylvania, 151,500 unemployed; 449,200 dependent. Central Western, 227,34*> unemploy ed, 443,310 dependent. Northwestern, 64,900 unemployed; 175,800 dependent.

Strauss’ latest waltz, * “Hoeli- geitzsreigan,” is said to be of won derful beauty. Quite likely. The name indicates it IN THE SANCTUMS. A Million Signers. Rome, Dec. 28.—Col. John Temple Graves has left for Pennsylvania to de liver his negro colonization lecture. He says he will have a million signers to his petition to Congress to colonize the ne groes, they being the principle advo cates of the scheme. Miss Pollard’s Children. Cincinnati, Dec., 29.—Miss Madilin Pollard, plaintiff against Congressman Breckinridge, with her brother, J. D. Pollard, is to-day conferring at tlic Palace hotel with her attorneys, Carlisle & Johnson of Washington and J. C. Obermeyer, of Cincinnati.

They are interviewing Mrs. Rose, who kept the house where Miss Pollard claims to have been ruined by Col. Breckinridge. Attorneys for Congressman Breckin ridge and others from Kentucky arc also here for the defense.

Trantham, an old citizen of Ocala, Fla., attempted suicide Fri day by taking a quantity of bromidia. Valdosta will have her waterworks soon. She already has the water. If Governor Mitchell does not pre vent the fight between Corbett and Mitchell he had better have kept his mouth shut. The Columbus Herald has this to say of Mr. Bacon and his original resolutions: If we were cartoonists we would get up two pictures on Major Ba con’s resolutions, one representing the “varmint” as it first appeared be fore the Legislature, and the other giving a view of it as it emerged from the legislative gauntlet, after having been trimmed, sliced and gonged to meet the objections of the numerous legislators not in accord with the Major’s original ideas. The last picture would be a most ludi crons one. Even the sangnine ma jor would scarcely recognize in this deformity the offspring of his own prolific brain, and will hardly have sufficient courage to sit astride it in his chase after the senatorial toga. Tillman’s Thumbscrews. Columbia, S. C., Jan. 1,—-The late j board of control tc-dav sent the follow- j ing communication to the city council j of Columbia: “Notice is hereby given j that the state board of control in the ex- j ereise of their judgment, as required by j the dispensary act recently passed, have i determined thn‘ a contingency lias arisen ; your city for the enforcement of the ! avision to section 10 of the dispensary ■ act, which says: “That if the authori- j f any town or city, in the judgment j of the state board of control, do not on- j Aiv you force this law the state board may with hold the part going to said town or city i nd use it to pay state constables, after ; the first day of January, 1894, and until TllSy further notice, such proportion of the*! dispensary profits coming from Columbia I Hi be withheld by the board and used to pay state con stables in the enforce ment of the law made necessary the action of the authorities of your city as shown by the action ot the city council *bn Friday night in even refusing to consider the matter.” The Governor says he can easily main tain six or seven constables iu this city with Columbia’s profits. Communications were to-day address ed to the municipal authorities through out the state calling upon them to notify the state board by the 15tli inst., whether they intend to make their policemen act as constables. The county boards were also instructed to notify the state board by the 20th inst. whether to expect the co-operation and assistance of the muni cipal authorities.

There is something wrong when the Constitution and the Atlanta Journal do the lion and lamb act. Politics makes strange bedfellows, send hard times work miracles.

His estimates are based on reports of the volume of holi day business collected by a commercial agency. Tlie sums and totals are all guess work, of .course, but, as the possi bilities are that the guesser is in the neighborhood of the truth, his figures are interesting. He thinks that the Christ mas dinners cost $30,000,000, the decor ations of churches, houses, etc. $3,000,- 000; the china, ^glass and pottery pur chased, $6,000,000; the books and other literature $8,000,000; the pictures and othef art work, $3,500,000; the toys, $4,000,000; the candies and Christmas trees, $3,250,000, and the jewelry, trin kets and sundries, $35,000,000—making in all a total approximating the reserve fund of the national treasure. CORDELL’S SENSATION. A Marriage That is Causihg Much Talk. Condole, Ga., Dec. 30.—The marriage of Joseph Bivins and Mrs. Marvin has created a sensation here. Mrs. Marvin is. the widow of the ex-mayor of the town who died two years ago. He -was president of the First National Bank, and left a large fortune. Bis devoted widow had a mock funeral while the body was embalmed and placed in a room in her house, where it has remain ed ever since. She and Mr. Bivins were married in an adjoining room. Biv ins is cashier of thebank and well-to-do. The question is, will the first husband’s body be kept i.n the house? Our Water Works. One of our commissioners has handed us some figures that he lias made as a result of a careful comparison of tlie cost Urged to Sack Loudon. London, Jan. 1—The unemployed ol London celebrated New Year’s day by holding one of their usual meetings at Tower Hill. Williams, one of the men who has always taken a prominent part in, these meetings, and whoso extreme socialist utterances are likely before long to get him in trouble with the police, made a violent address to the crowd of idle men gathered about him. He ex pressed his willingness to run all risks to stop the whole business of London by means of terrorism until the govern ment rendered assistance to the unem ployed. He regretted that the men out of wo r k had not, while the police were concentrated at St Paul’s cathedral last night, done what they liked and helped themselves to whatevever they wanted in the unprotected parts of the city. A FEMALE ANARCHIST JAILED. Annie Wise, an anarchist, one of those arrested outside of St. Paul’s cathedral last night, was arrained in the mansion house police court to-day to answer a charge of rioting. Her arrest grew out of a noisy demonstration made in the vicinity of the cathedral, and the attempt of herself and others to take possession of the steps of the cathedral for the pur pose of speech making and singing revo lutionary songs. Lord Mayor Tyler pre sided. The prisoner said she was only doing her duty in attempting to call public attention to the misery of the un employed. The lord mayor interrupted her, say ing: “That has nothing to do with your breaking the law.” The prisoner replied: “you men made the laws and force them on us. I know no more and care no more for the law of England than those of Timbuctoo.” The court found her guilty and sen tenced her to three days imprisonment. Y0UMANS & GERBER DEALERS IN DIWflDS.

These figures clearly demonstrate the superior service rendered our city by the thorough busi nesslike management of the commis sioners, which should be a cause of con gratulation by eve*y citizen interested in the welfare of the city. Taking for instance Valdosta, where a contract has recently been let for water mains, by orders, etc., and assuring the same number of tons of piping, specials, hydrants and valves as Valdosta re quires, the cost to us was $13,866.50, whereas the contract price iu Valdosta was $23,000 over $9000 or 35 per cent higher, and on examination of their contract it is not probable they will get so jierfect a system.

Being “dead weight,” the stock of the metal now on his hands would burden 300,000 able bodied men. Sustaining 100 pounds each and march ing six feet apart, they would stretch in a single file 350 mites, or as far as from Baltimore to Boston. Stacking their freight in a single heap, they would find that its total bulk was 125,000 cubic feet Transported by rail it would require thirty trains of twenty-five cars each, each car taking twenty tons. “Orange Blossom,” the common-sense Female Remedy, is cold and recoramend- t d by II druggists.
