e—— ——————————————————
Gentle spring is here. '
A cotton factory would make Dawson |
grow, LeBt’s have it.
Ex-President Harrison has begun to
talk law to California law students at so
much a talk,
Major Bacon and Flem dußignon are
both mighty good senaiorial timber.
They are able aud popular.
The indications are that we are.going
10 have the wusual amount of fun in
this congressional district.
The Macon Telegraph seems to want
papers instéad of votes for Colonel At
kinson. He is badly in need of both.
Mr. Atkinson must be a very tired
man, and so sympatbetic are the demo
cratic voters that they will see that he
gels rest,
The dulies of a governor are too oner
our for a man who has already broken
his wind saving the state and the demo
cratic party.
If Colonel Jesse Walters does getin
the congressional race he will make it
it lively for the other boys. The colo
nel is a tighter from taw,
The United States senate continues to
approach the tarrff with what the late
Mr. Vaniduren called “the firm and in
“treyid march of a jackass towards a peck
of oats.”! :
The report comes from Washingion
that Congressman Russell had nothing
to do with the Turner meeting at Thom
asville. Well, what of it if he had? He's
eatitled to his preference. |
A careful nnafysis of Mr. Atkinson’s
speech has been made, and was found to l
contain more than 300 capital I's, and
even a larger number of ‘“‘me,” “my,"f
and “mine.” There is nothing egotisti
gal in that,
- S
It looks very much as if that Thomas
ville Turner meeting was mostly a con
vention of aspirants for Turner's seat in
congress. And, juding from the way
Turner keeps a string tied to it, he re
gards itin the same light.

Grandfather Gates,aded 75, and Grand
mother Sawyer, aged 72, of Bellevue, 0.,
were married at Cleveland on Saturday,
after eloping {to avoid the strenuous ob
ject,io.ns of their several children and
grandchildren. They evidently belong
to that hopeful class of people who be
lieve it is never too late to do good.
Atlanta set her pegs and raised $200,-
00) for her great exposition in 1895.
This insures the success of the under
taking. It will be a much greaver
achievement for Atlanta than was the
world’s fair for Chicago. There is nota
city to be found with more pluck and
energy than Atlanta. -In fact, sheis the
biggest. place for hersize in the coun
try. "
The people of Terrell county may have
less money than usua!, or as little as at
any time, but it is most gratifying to
know that there is more meat and corn
in the county than there has ever been
at= this season. A successful farmer
gives it -as his opinion thatin this re
spect the people of the county are better
prepared for hard times than they have
been since the war,
It is not very long now until the 26th
of April, which is Memorial Day. As
yet no arrangements are on foot for the
observance of that day in Dawson. It is
high time that arrangemeuts were be
gun, 'fmd we hope the ladies will at once
take ffie matter in hand. O that day
ail our people should join in 2ommemo
rwi-'n of the dead heroes. Of course
the Dawson Guards will turn out to pay
tribute to the memory of those who gave
their lives for their country. Remember
the dead soldiers. J
COLONEL W. Y. ATKINSON.
Colonel Atkinson, in speaking of hisl
own qualifications for governor, is not
at all “*backward about coming forward”’
on the subject. ITe intimates that he is
better equipped, has more sense and is
more skilliul ia running states as gov
ernor than General Evans. Now, if
this were true a grave amount of skepti
cism would be removed from many,
very many, clouded minds in the state
which have, been struggling with the
conviction that General Eyans was at
least his equal if not his inteilectual su
perior. We dislike to doubt Colonel
Atkinson on these matters of ju(igment,
hut wvill say to him he has not bagun his
campaign of education too soon if
he would remove these doubts, and sug
gest alxo that the job is beginving to as
sume Hercnlean proportions, growing
like a snowball at every turn.
But be that as it may, if Mr. Atkinson
convinces the people of Georgia that
General Evans 1s a fool, or incompetent,
and is ot a democrat and never was, or
that a confederate who bears on his per
son the honors of war and the badges of
faithfulness to his state and people de
serves no reward, or that no one need
apply under any circumstances until he
be rewarded to satisfaction for services
rendered to his party, such as a hundred
thousand white Georgiang rendered,
then he should be nominated.—Waynes
boro True Citizen.
e
A witcheraft craze has broken oat at
Nanticoke, Pa., and it has already near
1y cost one life, A woman named Ya
goski, who claimed to be a root doctor,
failed to cure one of her patients, a
little girl. A phyéicizm examined the
child and found that she was afflicted
with an incurable ailment. The child’s
parents accused the Yagoski woman
with having bewitched her, and their
neighbors believed the accusation to be
true, inasmach as the chickens, pigs
and cows of the ncighborhood had of
late been acting queerly. The injured
parents and the incensed neighbors,
therefore, attempted to kill the witel,
and nearly succeeded.
In commenting upon Mr. Turner’s
catflidacy for the United Siates senate,
the Albany Herald says: ‘‘He does not
want to , make an announcement, af
this time which would ecarry with it the
inference that Senator Colquitt is to be
set.nside‘()n account of his physical in
fix‘:lxitieswanMg face of the fact, too,
that the senator is now in Washington
discharging his official duties with a
faithfulness and fidelity that entitles
him to the sympathy and continned con
fidence of the people of his state.”
An Overworked Court.
From the Atlanta Contitution.
The supreme court adjourned las Sat
uttlay for the October term. During the
October term the court heard 452 cases.
‘This is unparalleled in the history of the
court. It is the largest number of cases
ever brought tc one term. _"Uhere remain
to be decided of thatterm over two hun
dred cases. It commenced the Maich
term with 225 cases, a very large rcturn
for thegpring term. Fifty more cascs
are likely to be added during the term,
making a fotal of 275. These are :11 to
be argued by counsel. Add these to the
200 unueeided in the October term and
we have 475 to be decided between now
and the next October ternt
Opinions should be written by the
judges in nearly ail of* these case.
We do not see how it is possible for
three judges to hear argument in this
large number of cases and decide in the
time prescribed by the coustitution, to
say nothing of writing opinions on
them,
Surely the court is greatly overwork
ed, and needs two more judges to assist
in this arduaous labor.
It is wrong to force three overworked
iired men to pass upon the lives, liber
ties and pre perty of the people in so
great a num! er of cases in so short a
time. :
Relief is demanded more in the inter
est of the people than for the benefit of
the members of the court. Let the peo
ple see to it that the amendment to the
constitution, adding two more judges
to the court. is ratified next Oectober.

- At the Nice Race Meeting.
A race meecting is much the same all
the world over, and the Nice gathering
can hardly be called the exception.
There is the same noisy crowd and
crush at the railway station—the races
are held at"Le Var, some few miles out
of Nice proper—and the familiar line
of beggars, vlind, halt, lame and more
sO, as ready with curses as blessings—all
the way from the station to the course.
The three card trickster, the fortune
teller and the whole brotherhood of the
ring, each with bag and board, the lat
ter bearing an iinglish name, as a rule,
are to be seen, each in his appro
priate place. The san may shine with
greater regularity and brilliance and
‘the landscape with its slim rows o
encalyptus trees look more delicate and
fragile than we are accustomed to, but
otherwise all has the appearance of the:
‘‘eorrect card.”’
It is a charming little course at Le
Var, and in fine weather it would be
difficult to find anywhere a more repre
sentative gathering of beauty aud fash
ion than may be seen in the paddock on
a big day.—Pall Mall Budget.
Missionaries,
Archdeacon Farrar sets forth forcibly
the large debt of science to missions in
these words: **ls it nothing that through
their labor in the translution of the
Bible the German pbilologist in his
study may have before him the gram
marand vocabulary of 250 languages:?
Who ereated the science of anthropol
ogy? The missionaries. Who rendered
possible the deeply important science of
comparative religion? The mission
aries. Who discovered the great chain
of lakes in ¢entral Africa, on which
will turn its future destiny? The mis
sionaxries. Who have been the chief
explorers of Oceanica, America and
Asia? The missionaries. Who discov
ered the famous Nestorian monument in
Singar Fu? A missionary. Who dis
covered the still morefamous Moabite
stone? A missignary. Who discovered
the Hittite inscriptions? A missionary.”’

ure to speak, from personal knowledge, of
the wonderful cure, by the use of Ayer's
Sarsaparilla, of a bad humor in a child eleven
