<IF.xri.f.mion :—Your kind letter
of the r>tl> inst. informing me that
die ])einocratic Convention of the
Tenth Congressional district of
Georgia, held that day in the city
of Augusta, had unanimosly nomi
nated me as the Democratic candi
date, to represent this district in
tliK Fiftieth Congress, has been
duly received.
[ accept the nomination with a
deep sense of the honor conferred,
mid with feelingsVif profound grati
tude to you and to the people rep
resented in the convention. It has
been my honest endeavor in the
past, faithfully adhering at all
times to the time-honored princi
ples of the party, upon whose suc
cess, I honestly believe, dependsthe
preservation of our liberties and
the blessingsof good government, to
so discharge my.dutyasin my judg
ment would best subserve the in
terests alike of our district,State and
emmty. lint a nomination so made
places me under new and addition
al obligations. Should your nomi
nation be ratified at the polls in No
vember next, as I feel assured it
will be, 1 shall enter on the dis
charge of my duties with such an
increased devotion to the public
wellare as so flattering a nomina
tion is calculated to inspire. I will
.not venture to promise much. As
your representative, I will do the
host I can. Experience has taught
me that a candidate for congress
should be careful of ids promises,
in so enlarged a fluid of labor as
the American congress, where
they are represented so many va
ried often conflicting and frequently
clashing intrusts, it is not only ex-
trendy difficult, but well nigh im
possible to carry into practical ef
fect, in every respect, individual
wishes or peculiar local views. But
it is possible to be true to general
leading and cardinal principles, and
then in all subsequent arrangments
to bear in mind, wlnxt has been
truly said by an illustrious states
man and historian, that “compro
mise is the essence of politics.”
This much is attainable—tins much
i will strive to perform.
Allow me to thank you, and
though you represent, for the distin
guished honor conferred upon me.
Please accept for each of you per
sonally the assurance of my highest
regard and esteem, and my thanks
for the very kind terms in which
you have communicated the action
of the convention. Hoping to have
the pleasure of meeting each of you
during the coming fall, I remain,
very respectfully, your friend and
fellow citizen,

A Oruu|i of tin ilk) UellgloidstN In Ohio.
The existence of a curious sect
of “Perfectionists” on Walnut Hills
have Just been brought to light. A
group lias been discovered of thirty-
one persons who believe that their
leader,Mrs.John I>. Martin, is < 'hrist,
is the spirit, and that the millen
nium is soon to lx* brought about
through her. They are mostly
Methodists, though nearly all have
either left the church or been sus
pended for non-attendance, having
ngolected it for their new fanatic
ism. They comprise some promi
nent and wealthy people and none
ot the lower classes. For a year or
more they have attracted attention
at Loveland camp meeting by the
secrecy of their meetings at Mrs.
Martin’s tent and their peculiar
actions. Last winter the number
of Murtinites increased until her
house could not conveniently hold
them and the large house of Mrs.
Brooks, a wealthy follower, was
offered and is used as their
place of meeting, being almost con
stantly occupied for the last two
weeks both night and day. The
mother of one young lady believer
says Her daughter lias told her
something of their peculiar doc
trines. They believe that the mil
lennium is coming through Mrs.
Martin, who is Hod manifest in the
flesh, and in whom everybody must
believe after awhile, and that Mr.
Martin and Mrs. Brook are the only
perfect women m the world. They
evade the question ot sex involved
in the statement that Mrs. Martin
is Christ, by saying that in heaven
there are no sexes. Mr. Martin
was the prohibition candidate for
congress two years ago. He is a
devout Methodist, and is said not
to be a believer in his wife’s sanc
tity. The latter however, holds a
most remarkable influence over her
deluded followers, who eagerly obey
her slightest wish.
Elglil Thousand Locomotives.
The Baldwin locomotives works,
Philadelphia, have just completed
and shipped engine numbered 8,000.
The first locomotive built at these
works was turned out in December
1802, and it took twenty years until
November, 1852, to build 500 engines.
The next six years saw the third
500 built, number 1,500 leaving the
shop July, 1880. The fourth 500
were built in three years, by Oct. 80,
18(55); the fifth 500 in two years, and
the sixth and seventh 500 each in
one year, engine number 3,500 leav
ing Nov. 20, 1873. Business then
slackened, three years being requir
ed to build the next 500, and two
years the following 500, engine num
ber i,500 leaving Doc. 17, 1878. Then
trade improved, 500 engines being
built in fifteen months and 1,000
more engines in twenty-two months,
while 500 more engines wore finish
ed in ten months, number 0,500 leav
ing Dee. 0, 1882, and marking half
a century for the works. The next
eight months, saw 500 built, and be
fore the close of 1881, number 7,500
was turned out. Work has again
slackened, and nineteen months
wore required for the final
comotives, number 8,000
just left the establishment.

Crops in Texan.
Fort Worth, Tex., July 28.—Tlie
Texas crops as a whole this year
are better than last. There have
been exceedingly severe droughts
in certain sections in Western
Texas, mostly in the cattle region.
In some instances settlers have
abandoned their homes and started
eastward to keep from starving.
These instances are rare. Pitiful
stories of the starvation of the people
and cattle have been sent out con
veying the idea that such a condi
tion of affairs existed throughout
western Texas. Out of 233 counties
in not more than ten counties, and
if atiy people have starved to death
it has been because they did notask
for aid. Hood rains are falling
every day in different sections of
the State and the drought lias been
broken within the past week.
Crops m eastern Texas are better
than for years. The rango in West
ern Texas is not up to tho average
but is sufficient to carry the cattle
through next winter. The cattle
interest lias suffered morothan any
other, but there is no class of neople
in Texas ns able to lose as tho cat
tle men. The reports from the
wheat belt show that the crop is
above tho average. Wheat sells
right along at from ho to 05 cents
per bushel.
Tho mayor of Toronto wrote to
the dominion authorities in regard
to relief for tho starving fishermen
of New Foundlnnd and Labrador,
and received In reply that the Ca
nadian government had nothing to
do witk Newfoundland.
Prince Alexander,lias prohibited
the circulation of Russian coin In
Bulgaria.
Tlio Westoru Drouth.
While it is exceedingly wet along
tho Atlantic coast it is very dry out
on the Western plains. A dispatch
from Denver Colorado, to the New
York World says that the great
plains are hot and parched, and
daily they are becoming more like
tho veritable desert of the pioneers’
days. Not for many years lias there
been such a scarcity of water in
Colorado, and especially in the re
gion of tho Platte. Vegetation is
becoming brown and crisp. Tho
grass is withered, wells are drying
up irrigation ditches are dry; crops
are burned up by tho intense heat.
Cattle are dying, and at some points
on the plains the people are almost
perishing for water.
Pitiful are the tales told by the
ranchmen of crops destroyed, cat
tle perishing and their families in
great danger of suffering. Reports
from the eastern parts from the
Arapahoe and Weed counties, near
tho Colorado and Kansas line, rep
resent a terrible state of affairs.
This section seems fated to disaster
and misfortune. Last winter it is
estimated that 100 people lost their
lives near the state line in snow
blockades and terrible s'nrms that
prevailed. Now they are scourged
with an intense heat that is bring
ing ruin and disaster. No emigrants
for many years have suffered such
extremes of heat and cold as they.
Induced by the favorable reports
of the rainfall of tlie two previous
years, and influenced by the com
monly accepted theory that tlie
rainfall each year is increasing and
the rain centre moving westward,
hundreds of new settlers have at
tempted raising crops without irri
gation, tlie present season lias been
very unfortunate; ranchman and
their families are in some places
suffering* for water to drink. Noth
ing but misery is ahead of them,
and unless relief of some kind is
soon obtained it is said that they
will lie obliged to move away or
perish. Cattle are choking with
thirst, and often tho poor brutes are
seen standing at the dried up water
ing places with tongues lolling out
of their months.
In some places tho wild animals
are becoming tame. Even tlie an
telope, tlie fleetest and most active
animals on tlie plains, in some in
stances have become so exhausted
from thirst that they have been ea
sily. captured by boys from the
ranches. Tlie reports from all tho
ranchmen confirm tlie statement
that unless water is procured the
suffering among cattle will result
most fatally and that tlie loss to
ranchmen will be immense, as these
little bunches are, in many cases
all the ranchmen possess, to lose
them would be most disastrous. In
fact, as ono of the ranchmen ex
pressed it, it is a matter of life and
death to them. The great stock
ranges, which it had been hoped
would escape, are now becoming
brown, and the leading stock men
are beginning to feel apprehensive.
The cattle have sufforred more in
the southern sections and many
have posishod.
About 100,000 head have been
rushed through tlie state from tlie
dry regions to tlie ranges of tlie
Northwest. The Rio Grand lias
a good volume but tho Arkansas
and Platte rivers are low, and at
some points tho Platte is now but
ankle deep, below the great Irriga
tion ditches, and many troublesome
questions have arisen over the irig-
ation problem. In many places
along the Platte tiie ranchmen are
armed and will fight unless they ob
tain their rights. Tho big ditch
comuanies are monopolizing what
little water there is, and the feel
ing is very bitter. There have al
ready been several encounters
hut no loss of life lias yet resulted.
Represen tats ve ranchmen from the
plains have just held a convention
in Denver, and if they cannot have
water by peaceful means they
will tako it by force. “Water,
water; give us water,” is tho cry
that comes from the plains.
(lov. Eaton has Just . given an
audience to a committee of ranch
men, and is devising means for a
fair distribution of the water, and
it is hoped that ho will succeed. Un
less something is done tliero is
danger of bloodshed. Tho great
ditch monopolies are guarding
their ditches with armed men, and
tlie ranchmen, hundreds of whom
are now secretly organized and
armod, say that unless relief is soon
given thoy will cut tho canals.
Denver is feeling the result of the
drought. The city’s water supply
comes from tho Platte, and tho
water works company has issued
a request to citizens to bo as eco
nomical as possible in Iho use of
water, and especially for lawn pur
poses. Some of the small towns to
tho east of Denver are supplied
with water from this city, and were
it not for the water shipped to them
mi the railroad tho Inhabitants
would soon perish of thirst.

nic, murdered a young child, which

Niagara Falls, July 25.—Car

large crowds of people this after
noon at Whirlpool Rapid Bark. He
was nskad by tho Herald corres
pondent if lie proposed to make a
descent of tlie falls.
“Not for some time,” Graham re
plied, “I am first going to jump in
my barrel from either the new or
the old suspension bridge to the
river two hundred feet below and
then go through tlie rapids. 1 pre
fer tlie bridge nearest tho falls for
the barrel could be reached with
boats before I get to tho rapids to
to see if I had been killed or not by
the fall.”
“Do you expect to be killed?”
“Certainly not; but if I was killed
there would be no use letting my
body go through in the barrel.”
Graham lias about finished tiie

cataract. It is made of oak staves
two inches thick and covered with
cork of tlie same thickness.
Mauil S. to Beat Her llecord.

John Murphy took his weekly
trip up to Mr. Robert Bonner’s
farm, near Tarrytown, on Saturday,
to give Maud S. a spin in the course
of her regular work in preparing
her for the coming trial, in
which Mr. Bonner expects she will
lie able to beat her own record of
2:08^ 4 , tiie best in tlie world. Mur-
pliey jumped into tlie sulky, and
after giving her a jog of two or
three miles, said: “This mure is
Hying. I think I’ll Jhuve to let her
out for a quarter, to take the rough
edge off.”
She went away trotting as true as
a die. She flew over tho ground
and made the quarter in tlie won
derful time of 30'.j seconds, a 2:02
gait. Everybody present, includ
ing tho owner, was delighted at her
speed. The fact that she had made
a quarter of a mile a week before in
31 1 seconds, a 2:06 gait showed
that she could trot a quarter in these
low figures whenever she was called
on to do it.

a lion. ;Ono day they were missing
and at tlie same time tlie peculiar
actions of tho lien were continued.
An investigation was made, and it
was discovered that tho guineas htul
been charmed by a large chicken
snake and were quietly sitting,
unharmed, in his coils. When
discovered tlie snake had swal

Alupaha Stan Mr. J. II. Kirby
says that wild turkeys cannot be
tamed. Ho mentioned a case to
prove it. When he was a hoy his
mother placed a number of wild
turkey eggs under a domesticated
turkey, and two of tho turkeys, a
hen and a gobbler, remained with
the tamo turkeys until grown, when
the gobbler left for parts unknown,
and tho hen soon took to tho woods
and would lie gone for sevareldays
at a time. Shu was finally killed.
These turkeys would not roost with
tlie others, but would select tlie
highest branches of tho trees whon
small, and as they grew larger
would roost on tho tallest pines.
Tills is a little singular when it is
remembered that they were hatched
by a tamo turkey and reared with
tamo turkeys until they were grown.
A (Him Factor j.
A day or two ago my wayward
feet carried my body into the sub
urbs and to a chewing gum factory.
There I got some idea of an iuilustry
that thrives on penny sales and tlie
remorseless energy of American
jaws. In tlie place I saw half a
dozen huge blocks of marbly gum
or petroleum wax. Each weighed
about KM) pounds, and was almost
like pure pentelican stone dear to
the old sculptor’s eye and hand.
And it was absolutely clean and
odorless. A few weeks ago the
stuff lay in one of the huge tanks
near the oil wells of Pennsylvania,
a dirty greenish brown fluid with
tlie consistency of bad mud and tiie
smell of a glue factory. Then it
was crude oil, but since that it had
been in a turmoil and through
“striking times” and chemical pro
cesses. From it had been extracted
a lot of kerosene, almost as much
naphtha, not a little benzine, plenty
of tar and a lot of valuable but
technically named affair's that arc
out of reach. Anyway the gum
wax was left, and it was it that I
saw, clean as an Ideal farmer’s bed
chamber, and as odorless as a civil
service reformer’s record. Before
it became the chewing gum of our
friends it haq to melted, flavored,
sweetened and“pntup” in fanciful
array. Then the 100-pound block
would appear in 5,000 penny cakes
and I am told that about 500 of these
100-pound blocks are used in each
week of the history of Columbia,
“the gem lof the ocean,” etc. It’s
tough—the fact, not the gum.

SAMCF.r, DUNX.AI*, OF ATLANTA, flA.
The excellent picture we present ut the head

and favorably known In Ills eapaeity as a
travelling man or "drummer” ns any ono
man In the United States.
Mr. Dunlap said In conversation recently:
“About four years ago I had a severe attack
of rheumatism, which completely disabled
me for a time, and which developed into
what Is commonnly called ‘chronic,’ attack
ing mo when least expected, and laying mo
up entirely; incapacitating mo for any kind
ot business, and causing mo as much trouble
lu a day as should be crowded In a lifetime.
After one t f my most severe attacks, and
when I had just got able to hobble around, X
met Mr. J. M. Ilunnlcutt, an old friend, and
he said ho could make a remedy that would
cure me, and by gracious, he did. 1 took two
bottles of Ills stuff, prepared from roots and
herbs, and 1 have never had a twinge of rheu
matism since. The medicine was not pre
pared for sale at that time, but was manufac
tured by Mr. Hunnicutt for his friends.
About six months ago it was determined to
place It upon tt e market, and a firm was or
ganized for that purpose. Two weeks ago, in
the midst of my suffering, I noted In one of
their advertisements that it was good for kid
ney troubles also. I knew It would cure rheu
matism, and I bought a half a dozen bottles
at once and determined to give It a fair show
at a kidney disease of long standing. It may
seem extravagant, but the llrst day’s use gave
me relief, and before 1 hnd completed taking
one bottle my disagreeable symptoms bad
entirely disappeared. I have used two bot
tles up to this time, and l have not felt a trace
of my disease for a week."
,1. M. Ilunnlcutt & (Jo., the manufacturers
of Hiuinteutt’s Rheumatic Cure, Atlanta,tin.,
assure us that that their medicine Is on sale
at the low price of $1.00a bottle, at all reputa

The Macon Telegraph tells this,
which it says is “one more true
snake story: “Speaking of the great
strength of snakes, a few days since,
in the presence of a worthy and relia
ble citizen of this county, he gave
the crowd the following instance in
illustration: A few years ago he
owned a dog that formed the habit
of hunting by himself until the
occasion cited. An absence of two
days around the fears of the narra
tor, lest his dog was hung under
some ‘clay root’, whither he had
pursued a rabbit or other varmint.
A search was made, which result
ed in the finding of the dog, cold in
tlie double embrace of death, and
a seven-foot black snake, the former
produced by the latter. But the
strange part of the affair was tlie
discovery that the snake was dean
also; not by or from any wound
inflicted by tlie dog; but his snake-
ship, in the heat ot passion and
vehemence of his assault, began his
coil around the dog’s neck with his
head first, and had actually wound
his body and tail so rapidly and
firmly around the enemy that he
had choked himself also. Rigid in
death, the embrace of tho victor
was so firm that two strong men
with difficulty unwound him.

Tho wonder of tliyse who go to the Harnett

Without exaggeration, the table of the Har

A mischievous crowd Grand
Forks, Dak., had some very unlquo
fun the other day. They wantod to
scare a young laborer who had fal
len In love with a farmers wife,
and hanged him to a limb. They
enjoyed the fun so much that they
let him hang a minute too long and
when they cut him down ho was too
dead to accept their apologies. They
decided that ho had turned the joke
on thorn, und gooe-humoredly treat
ed him to a brand new coffin.
Two boilers in Henning’s oil fac
tory at Tnnton, I*a., exploded yes
