- The negroes of the South de
nounce Blaine though Ex-Senator
Bruce became of his
last publie utterances,
and the curses he pronounced
upon the solid South fall back up
on his own head. Poor weak, fan
atical Blaine. Farewell, a long
farewell, your glory and strength
l:ave departed.
- The Albany News and Advertis.
er takes special delight in poking
the Telegraph and Messenger un
dor the fifth rib. It might be well
to call a halt. There is such a
thing as extremes meeting. Per
sonal chagrin magnifled reacts. If
the News knowsanything why
not tell it and be done with it,
otherwise let us have a rest,if you
please.
A white man pleaded guilty to
the charge of baving two wives. ’
Both of the wronged women were f
in court, and one of them carried |
# babe in her arms. Judge Mer-i
shon sentenced him tofour years at |
hard labor in the penitentiary. The |
fellow in pleading guilty asked
the judge for mercy, but the judge
replied that he would give him the
full extent of the law, and that the
law was too merciful.
The Atlanta Constitation, is
making quite a hero, or martyr
or some thikg else out of the Hon.
Samuel J. Rardall. It ocecurs to
us to be quite unnecessary. While
it- is true Mr. Randall
has done much for his cou: -
try in the past and deserves credit |
therefor, still he has not done
bimself, or the country, eredit by 1
his position on the tariff question.
It will take more than double lead
ed glory for himto get there. We
stand squarely by the record and
believe thatthe masses of our peo- 1
ple will say to the Hon. John . |
Carlisle “come up higher,” at least
occupy the Speakers chair another |
term. |

The time was when a man's
weal'h was estimated by the num
her of negroes he owned. Since
that time has passed we of the
South speak of a manby the num
ber of bales of cotton he sells,
and every meighbor rivals his
nabob in the latter as surely
as ever he did in the former. He
forgets however that the man who
sells five handred bales of cotton,
and owes five hundred and one of
it, i 8 not so well off really as {he
man who makes only five bales
and lives athome. Still the form
er is considered a big planter,
while the latter is reckoned « com
mon liver. And yet we believe
we would rather be the latter than
the former, though there may
appear to be more selfishness in
our religion. “He that provideth
not for his own household hath
denied the faith and is worse than
an infidel.”
An Earnest Appeal.
The Hon. Jno. T: Hendersen,
our State Commissioner of Agri
culture, has issued a strong ap
peal to Crop Reporters and farm
ers throughout Georgia for a dis
play at the World's Exposition.
He entreats them to go to work at
once and ship collections to him
at Atlanta, from which place he
will at once forward them es acol-
Yective exhibit to New Orleans in
time for the opening. This is
Terrell county and Georgia's last
chance to show their wonder
ful farm products and resources.
The appeal is an earnest one. It
can be found on cur first page.
Theß.C. & C.R.R.
The Baiubridge Democrat of
the Ist inst says: A
The building of this Road, so
long dreamed of by the people of
this section, will begin at Cuthibert
on Monday next with a force, we
learn of sixty hands. The work
will be under the supervision of
Mr. L. O. Jackson, of this city,
{who has been appointed Super
intendent of Construction for the
Road) and will be pushed rap diy
as possiblein the direction of Bain
bridge. The work of putting the
hel in order for the ties will be
soon accomplished from Cuthbert
here some sixty miles of the same
having once been graded.
. Wealso learn that a force will
soon begin work at Columbus—
eoming towards Cuthbert a® that
probaly a force will be put to
wark at Bainbridge, going in the
direction of Cuthbert by the Ist
of January,
Mr.J ac{son will leave for Cuth
bert to.morrow to assume charge
of the work
' Georgia's Capitol.
i Pretty considerable interest ‘s
| being manifested now in the con
| struetion of our new Capitol buil
{ding. The Commission appointed
‘be the last Legislatare awarded
jthc contract for building the new
tCapitnl to an Indiana company,
' that proposes to use what is term
ed oolitic limestcre.
’ It has been a source of pride
'as well as a desire on the part of
Il many of the citizens of our state
| to see the new Capitol constructed
‘uut of Georgia material, but in
gthis they evidently are destined
to disappointment unless the pre
'sent Legislature interferes with
the award of the commission.
‘(‘rmrgin marble, it seems, will
‘cost more than the material with
‘which the Indiana company pro
pose to build. If oneis marble
and the other is limestone of
course the marble should cost
more, and would be our preference
at an advance cost. The compari
son is unjust if it is narrowed to
the difference between marble and
oolitic limestone. Can marble
from the Georgia quarry be had!
as chgap as marble from some
other qurry? If so, quality
and other things being equal the
Georgia quarry should have the
contract. We are in favor of pat
ronizing and utilizing home pro
duets in the cousturction of the
Capitol building, when such pa
tronage does not commit us to the
mercy of a corporation. These
questions no doubt have been
already considered by the Commis
sion, but the present attitude of
our legislature seems to indicate
crookedness somewhere, and by
the new bill introduced it is pro
proposed to straighten it. We
await developments with interest.
A Former Citizen of Dawson,
The Brenham, Texas, Business
Letter speaks in the following
complimentary terms of Col. R.
L. Fulton the present mayor of
Gralveston, Texas. Col. Fulton was
a former citizen of Dawson, and is
a brother of our Capt J. A. Fulton.
The Colonel’s many frienls will
vead it with pleasure:
S“The municipal regulations of a
town or city rarely ever concern
any person not a citizen of said
town or eity, or who has no local
interests there; but the manage
ment of the municipal polity of
the city of Galveston is evidently
an exception. That city is the
acknowledged chief seaport of
Texas, and, of course, the most
important city in the state. Tex
as produces fully one-fourth of all
the cotton raised in “the
South, and quite the
half of all the ecotton raised in this
state during the past two years
has gone through Galveston.
This has not been the case during
all previous years. Ask any farm
ter, merchant, or cotton buyer, or
broker, or agent dealing in eotton
\ in Brenham or other points 1n the
| cotton belt, why he prefers to
{ship his cotton to or through
‘ Galveston and nine tenths will give
the same reasons—the excellence
lof Galveston’s munieipal regula
tions, the generous conduct of the
| cotton exchange and especially the
rigid adherence to strice officials
honesty in the present mayor of
‘ that city. So long as Galveston
continues to sustain the intezrity
of its cheif executive oflice, turn
ing the light upen the devious
| ways designing rings, and exposing
l the seeret plots of ofticial monopo
‘llsts and their corrupt schemes,
ithere will be an influx of the v st
| products of this great state pour
ing in upon her. With great in
terests our people here, and donbt
less throughout the state, have
watched the progress of
the course of the pre
sent mayor, C'ol. R. L. Fulton, in
‘the bold, high stand he has taken
against six or eight of the alder
wen of that ecity. And now that the
grand jury of Galveston county
l has virtually indorsed the course
{of that mayor, by finding true
| bills againgt three of said alder
| men, with a likelihood of impeach
ing others, will domore to confirm
l the high estimate already placed
upon Galveston’s present mayor
f for uncorruptible honesty and
| firm executive capacity than a vol
’ ume as big as Webster's unabridg
ed dictionary ever could.”
Bad Economy.
Every preparation should be
made by the farmer this month
for the makirg and saving of the
largest amount of manure possi
ble during the present winter.
First provide adry shed or a tight
cellar for the manure. If left ex
posed to the weather its most val
uable constituents are washed
out and lost. It is the worst
Geouomy to permit this.
Life Insurance.
A man naver knows what is to
become of his family after he is
dead and gone. He does not know
but that his orphans may become
homeless and dep ‘ndent and his
widow lone and desolate. He
would provide against this. He
seeks to lay up a sufliciency to
take care of them, but by misfort
une or mismanagement he is dis
appointed aud dies suddenly leav
ing them unprovided for. “He that
provideth not for his own house
hold hath denied the faith and is
worse than an infidel.”
~ We merely make this prefatory
remark to call your attention to
the fact that Life Insurance in a
first class company pays. It pays
now, in life, in the peace and tran- .‘
quility of mind it affords to the
insured. It robs the future of the |
uncertainty that must cling arcund |
it otherwise. You ecan lie down
to sleep, oron a b 1 of sizciss
feeling assured that when you ate
gone, the widow and |
orphans will get all |
that your prudence may have
laid by for them. You may be
well to do now and yet die penni- |
less. You are in good health and
have the promiseof long life, then {
do not neglect to have your life!
insured at once. because it is cheap- |
er to you now, and because you are |
in good health. A few months
or ayear, may meke a big differ- |
ence. You may not be able to |
pass an examination, the company
might reject you, and reason urges
you to take this step at once. |
We have been considering some j
features of Life Insurance as set- |
forth by the New York Life In-|
surance company. 1t is one of the l
oldest and strongest companies do- |
ing business. 1t has a strong, |
vigorous policy towards policy- |
holders, protecting them in theirl
rights and privileges. It has the |
record of paying its obligations so !
that the widow &nd orphans do |
not have to enter into a long con- |
test for their rights. It offers "
ample security, and is therefore
a safe investment. With near- ‘
ly sixty million dollars in assests
and about twelve million dollars
surplus we see no reason why the
most cautious may not feel per
fectly secured in the investment.
Besides this, this old company
complies with the laws of the
states respecting life insurance
and so makes security doubly
sure. We had sooner trust a first
class life insurance company for
safety and guaranty than any
other monetary investment that we
know of. Such is our faith in the
workings and principles of these
old companies. One other feature
of the New York Life commends
it at once to the pecple of the
| South. We believe it was the on
ly company that did not violate
its pledges and take advantage of
: the condition of things on account
iof the war of the Rebellion. If it
| was faithful in this it may be
I trusted for the fature.
Mr. Win. V. Harper, Superin
tendent of agencies,and Mr. T.
H. Boynton, special agent, both of
Macon are inour city this week
representing this staunch old com
pany. We reccommend them and
the New York Life to the fovora
ble consideration of our readers
and suggest that it would be, in
our opinion, the wisest thing any
one could do, if you can, to take a
li%eral policy with them. Insure
your life.
| Ee Liberal.
1 In dealing with hired help it is
‘good policy to be liberal rather
than narrow or close. A farmer
who is accustomed to be always
making Lard bargains econ gains
this reputation and often loses
sale for articles because others do
not like to deal with him, or else
puats them so on their guard that
he is not able to make as good
bargains as others could.

tists say that in 15,000,000 years
