The Survival of the Fittest.
Waynesboro! g a., junk i. m.
g : &- lion. J. II. Polhill, of Louis
ville, Ua., was married foil Sun
day evening last, at the residence
of the bride, to Mrs. Sue Denny,
of Louisville. Mr. Polldll is well and
favorably known throughout the
state, and is the chairman of the
state Democratic executive com
mittee.
ITT State Commissioner Hen
derson reports the corn and oat
crop of the state at large as being
unusually good. Wheat crop a fail
ure, and the cotton crop a fair aver
age. Some of our exchanges state
that in some sections the stand of
cotton lias been ruined on account
of damaged seed.

t*T A nursery, where laboring
women can leave their children
during the day, has been recently
established in Savannah. This is a
moye in the right direction, as it
will enable many of its poor women
to earn a living who would other
wise be compelled to remain at
home to look after the children.
. vr -1 lie arrangements for build
ing a rail road from Savannah to
Tybee have been made, and the
time for its completion will be April
1st, 1887. This road will establish
Tybee on a firm basis as a bathing
and summer resort. It possesses
one of the finest beaches on the
coast, and at no distant day we ex
pect to hear of the erection of a
large hotel and numbers of cottages
along its beach.
The grand jury in their general
presentments at May term, 1885, re
commended a pauper farm. It is a
matter of regret that our board of
j county commissioners has not yet !
J carried out their recommendation.
1 A pauper farm is needed, and il is
only a question of time as to the
when and how it will be established.
Many of the more progressive coun-
j ties of the state have tried them,
land the result has been mostsatis-
factory. The adjoining county of
Jefferson organized its pauper farm
some three years since, and the
good results are very evident.
Three years ago she had some eighty
odd pauper names on its pay roll;
there are now only thirteen pau
pers on the farm, and ot course the
reduction of expenses are in pro
portion of eighty to thirteen. There
are a great many who will apply
for disbursements from the pauper
fund, provided they can draw the
money and remain at home and
spend it. Four out of five will not
lie willing to leave their homes and
go on a farm, and they only do this
when real pressing want forces
them into it. The pauper fund is
intended only for those who have
no means of subsistence, aud to re
lieve their suffering the state makes
this provision of the pauper fund.
We hope our county commissioners
have had ample time to weigh and
balance all the pros and cons, and
that we will soon hear of the pur
chase and inauguration of the
Burke county pauper farm.
tar The English capitalists who
proposed investing their money
in building the Savannah, Dublin
and Western rail road, before mak
ing the venture sent a representa
tive to examine and report. He
makes an unfavorable report, so no
money will come from England.
The friends of the enterprise say
that they have made other arrange
ments for getting money, and that
the work will go on and the road
built.
tar In the primary of yesterday,
(Friday,) held in the city of Augus
ta, for the county of Richmond,
which had long been conceded by
the Gordon people, to Major Bacon,
has undoubtedly been carried by
that illustrious Georgian, and that,
too, without the aid of a brass band.
The votes summing up as follows:
For Major Bacon, 88(5. For General
Gordon, 187. Major Bacon now has
thirty votes in his column, to
General Gordon’s eighteen. How’s
that ?

tr Women are slowly receiv
ing their rights. An Iowa judge
has decided that a man is in duty
bound to tell his wife where lie
spends his evenings when lie is
away from home. If the decision
had gone further and compelled the
husband to state not only where he
had been, but what lie saw and said,
the tendency would have been
greater to keep him at home; and
if lie would go and then report
fuirly, there are times when the
old mother Eve’s curiosity would
say to the wife, let him go.
vr The French government
has decreed that all the Orleans
princes be banished. The object of
this decree is to destroy the influ
ence of these princes in their op
position to the working of the pre
sent government. But the sympa
thy of many Frenchmen will follow
these princes in their exile, and
their influence or opposition will be
enhanced. Extreme measures in
times of peace will not suit a peo
ple in a Republican country. The
shout of oppression will be raised,
and its rallying cry will draw the
people to its standard. Even in our
own country, where the harsh decree
of banishment is not known, the peo
ple will not even stand personal
abuse, or in common parlance,
“mud slinging.” Republicans are
bitterly opposed to persecution in
any shape or form, and the man or
party who attempts it will always
find that before the fight is over, the
reaction is greatly against him.
tjr w hat lias become of the sur
veyors of the route from Atlanta
via. Waynesboro to the ,Savannah
riyer? Some weeks since the At
lanta papers stated that the com
mittee who had charge of this route
had started with their surveyor’s.
They must, both committee and
surveyors, be lost, as they have not
yet reached us, and nothing has
been heard of them en routo. Our
people have Just cause for express-
ing their dissatisfaction as to the
“why and the wherefore” of At
lanta’s actions. Mho called ->n the
counties on this route to meet her
and help deviso the means for
building this road. The counties
met her and were willing and anx
ious to do their part. But just there
The home rule discussion is
agitating old England from center
to circumference. Its people is al
most on the verge of a revolution.
It is now believed that Gladstone’s
bill will be defeated—if so—parlia
ment will be dissolved and a new
election called, and tiie issue will
be placed directly before the people.
The British parliament is composed
of 658 members—of this number
Great Britain lias 553 and Ireland
lias 105. No local law for Ireland
can be passed unless a majority of
the whole parliament votes for it;
the consequence is that when laws
are being made in which Ireland is
interested, she is entirely in the
hands of the English. If the home
rule bill is passed it will allow the
delegation from Ireland to puss
upon all local bills in which Ireland
alone is interested. This seems just
and right—and if done will put an
end tothisold agitation, andwill heal
over many of the sores that have
been running for centuries in Ire
land. The Constitution in speaking
of this subject says: “The excite
ment over the home rule bill sur
passes anything that has been wit
nessed in England during the pre
sent generation. Nothing is
thought of but tiie political situa
tion. Business is secondary consid
eration, and even the gayest society
circles substitute politics for their
customary small talk. Gladstone
has faced emergencies before and
tiie courage of his convictions has
sustained him in many trying
crises. But the great premier has
never had to contend with fiercer
opposition than that which con
fronts him now. Tiie aristocrats
denounce the veteran statesman as
a “traitor,” “dotard,” “liar” and
“fool.” It is said that the premier
would be in danger of being mob
bed in the lobby if he should show
himself unattended outside of the
doors of the house of commons, but
it is well known that the men who
surround him would be equal to the
occasion.
In spite of tiie frantic predictions
of civil war made by the opponents
of home rule there is good reason to
believe that tiie measure is steadily
growing in popular favor. Its de
feat and the dissolution of parlia
ment cannot eliminate this issue
from English politics. The failure
of homo rule in parliament simply
means that the final battle must be
fought at the polls. Gladstone and
his friends know how to take care
of themselves when they stand face
to face with the people. The home
rulers, therefore,- still have a fight
ing chance, but it will take hard
work to win.
cept that power is power, that
money, no mutter how acquired, is
both influence and power, but who
with their lips and in words for
their own crafty purposes and ends
loudly proclaim that they are sin
cere believers in the state’s good.
The plots and schemes of such men
we say are so deeply laid that they
are seldom discovered in time to be
successfully thwarted. It is only
the figures of Punch and Judy that
are made visible to tiie gapping
crowd, in fact the whole success
and interest of the farce consists in
the string-puller remaining invisi
ble to tiie unreflecting audience,
and the same principles obtain, the
real, always hiding behind the os
tensible until the proper time has
arrived, whether the play be one of
comedy or t ragedy. Gen. Gordon
when he undertook the role of
Punch before, did so to make big
money out of some one of the many
and various ways which lie himself
had suggested. It is said that a good
name is more to be desired than
riches. Gen. Gordon lias already
told us in so many words that a few
thousands were more valuable to
him than the highest honors of the
state. If he is still poor, why should
he desire to assume the arduous
duties of governor with such pit
tance of salary. If he is rich and
acquired his riches in exchange for
tiie honors heaped upon him by the
state, why should ho ask to repur
chase these same honors at a person
al sacrifice, by serving the state at
half the salary which hedrew as sen
ator (lmt which was not enough, he
says, to support him aud his family),
and thus deprive himself of the op.
portunity and time to make more
money, to continue to grow rich;
but whether rich or poor, it is be
coming more and more patent
daily, that there is a man, or men,
behind Gordon, the candidate for
governor, pulling the wires or
strings, as much as there was in
that other Punch and Judy farce
that was enacted in .the United
States senate, and the arch wire
puller is none other than Joseph E.
Brown, our Georgia Meichiaveli.
The man who was “ first in war,”
“first in peace,”—but here tiie analo
gy between him and Washington
suddenly terminates!
Two things are self-evident—that
some deep laid plans, boding no
good to the state, have been mapped
out by tiie present ring managers,
and that tiie candidacy of Col.
Bacon stands like a Caladonia wall
between them and the consumma
tion. Whether all of the players will
come out openly upon the stage
must depend upon how the gaum is
played out between now and the
28th July, as there will be no neces
sity for Joseph putting in an ap-
pearace until after the convention
has done its work. Until then, per
haps, the highest success depends
upon Joseph adopting the instincts,
habits and practices of the ground
mole.
Let Col. Bacon’s friends see
to it that the work is done
in such a manner that there
will be no excuse for the ring resur
recting J. G. Bryant with his black
cohorts to crush out civilization and
Republican government at home.
See to It that Brown shall not use
the African vote as step stones to
the governor’s mansion for “our
John,” as lie has been doing hereto
fore. See to it that tiie gubernator
ial chair is not stolen by political
strategy or trickery of any sort
from the peoples’ candidate and be
stowed upon a man lor whom such
clean handed and pure patriots and
statesmen as Hill, Toombs, and Ste
phens had a supreme contempt, and
justly and righteously so. 1’.
UlCHJJOSlt COUNTY ITEMS,
special Correspondence citizen.
Public sales Tuesday—very little
property offered.
The county jail has 11 white and
51 colored prisoners.
Valentine has one month longer
to live. His health is good and he
is often visit-oil by the colored
clergy.
Bacon clubs are being organized
in eacli ward. A call for a Gordon
meeting has been called. Doubtless
clubs will be organized in the inter
est of the General.
The Augusta Female College has
been started—Prof. F. II. Curtis,
president. Among the list of the
advisory board is lion. Jno. A.
North, Hon. J. S. Davidson, and
Hon. M. P. Foster.
Tuesday was a day long to be re
membered in rail way circles. The
principle lines of railroads were
changed from the old guage, 5 feet,
to the standard, 4 feet 9 inches.
The branch roads had been changed
a few days before.
Crops .throughout tiie county look
well. The farmers on the lately
submerged districts on the river
bottoms are working with a wjjl
putting in corn and peas. Should
no early frost or freshet do damage
to the late planting we may look
for a large yield.
Work on the artesian well has
ceased for a few days. Dynamite
having been unsuccessfully used to
force a passage for the drill, through
a rock struck at a debtli of 870 feet,
Future attempts will be made as
soon as proper explosives can be
gotten from the North.
A pleasant party, under manage
ment of Mr. A. H. Saxon and Mrs.
Belle Hiilis, went out to Hephzi-
leah last Thursday on a picnic ex
cursion. They report spending a
most pleasant day. On Wednesday
another party went out under the
management of Capt. Jno. W.
Brown, chief operator of tiie West
ern Union Telegraph Company in
Augusta. Tiie party was taken in
charge upon arrival at Hephzibah
by friends who spared no pains to
make them spend a nleasant day.
This section was visited last Sun
day by a heavy rainfall—the heav
iest of the season. The lightning
was vivid and did a great deal of
damage. It struck the court house,
and also the large dwelling house
of Capt. Mays, who lives near Bel
Air. The house was struck in three
places, was fired, and in a few min
utes was entirely consumed, The
Captain lost his furniture, most of
the clothing, and a library that can
not be replaced. There was an in
surance of about $9,000 on the build
ings.

Editor Citizen: Is it either pos
sible or probable that Mr. Hill’s
prediction ** Unit the Republican
party would onvolvo the country in
another war before they would give
up their grasp on power’’may be
fulfilled, and in a manner that se
riously concerns us because at our
own doors. That tiie note of warn
ing had its influence in averting
such a calamity will hardly be de
ified, by influencing patriotic men,
himself in the forefront, to provide
a way of escape from such alterna
tive, even by an electoral commis
sion. Who can with confidence as
sert that if tills safety valve had not
been opened, and in consequence of
the whole matter Is dropped—of | the corruption in South Carolina,
course everything depended upon
Atlanta’s action. If she did not
want the road she ought not to have

has had that survey made, and the
