The Survival of the Fittest.
WAYNKHIIOHO, (L\.. DECEM HER 7, lftftii.
tJT take pleasure in again
congratulating the .Savannah Time*
upon its recent enlargement ami
general improvement. The Timex
has a bright future of usefulness
before it, ami for one we say suc
cess to our plucky evening daily.
We have received the first
number the Acworth News <(• Far
mer, and take pleasure in putting
it upon our exchange list. The
News is small but well tilled, and
we hope it may live and flourish as
a big bay tree in Briar creek
swamp.
IT We sincerely sympathize
with brother White, of the Louis
ville News <t- Farmer, in his misfor
tune of having his forms pied du
ring the alarm of fire in his office
building last week. No one can
appreciate the extent of such a ca
lamity except the printer. We
hope brother White will soon be
able to overcome his trouble.
But Nobody Killed.

COMCJIIKSS JIEKTK.
Congress met in annual session
on Monday, and promptly organ
ized by electing Carlisle, of Ken
tucky, (Bern.) Speaker of the Mouse,
The Republicans, fully aware that
they had no chance in the race,
made no effort to obtain the office.
Our choice for Speaker among the
three candidates who aspired to the
position was lion. S. S. Cox, of New
York. But we are satisfied with
Carlisle, and believe he will rule
fairly and justly.
The President’s message was
promptly sent in, and read before
noth houses. While the message
lias a business sound, we do not
consider it either a brilliant or an
important State paper. It, however,
serves its purpose to fulfill the law
requiring the President to inform
Congress at each annual meeting
of that body, in a general message,
of the state of the country—and
that is about all the importance
which attaches to it.
There appears little upon the
surface of importance for Congress
to do. The country is at peace with
all the world, anti in a generally
prosperous condition which new
legislation will not aid. If, there
fore, Congress would transact such
routine busines as has accumula
ted since last session and adjourn
and go home it would be an in
estimable blessing. But there is
no hope for an adjournment before
next May or June, or possibly later.
All the evil powers of our political
engine will now be put in motion.
The scheme of the politician and
the trick of the lobbyist be used to
obtain dishonest aims, and thus does
corruption pervade everything at
the nation’s capital, and the people
will heave a sigh of relief when the
end comes.
The tariff question begins to ex
cite both attention and discussion,
and is the question of which both
parties are afraid, and which they
approach with fear and trembling.
Manufacturers North and South-
Democrats and Republicans—seem
to have combined to secure a high
protective tariff, and that party
which fails to acceed to the de
mands of these money kings is
threatened with defeat utter and
overwhelming next year. It will
therefore be seen that both parties
must sail between Scylla and Cha-
ribdis, and the utmost care must he
taken that in avoiding the one they
do not fall upon the other. We can
only hope that the Democratic lead
ers in Congress will act with the
most consumate wisdom, and will
leave the prospects of the party as
bright as they now are.
Their Stock is Complete in every Line, and Prices so Low that
they Defy Competition. MR. DICK IiERRIEN cordially invites
all of his Burke county friends and the public generally to call
on him, and see how much pleasure it will afford himself and
Clerks to show them over our IMMENSE STOCK. We sell
everything at Bottom Prices, and have
