I)r. Felton nml Ills Followers,
We hnve entertained in the past an honest
sympathy for Dr. Felton and a general
ndmiration for his undoubted courage and
abilities.
Many of the people of Georgia, represent
ing the best sentiment of the State, recog
nise the fact that his rebellion against a cor
rupt ring in the Seventh district had much
to justify it, and they were not disposed to
complain at bis election to Congress,
His career in the national assembly more
clearly and strongly established bis claitfi
ns a thinker and leader than bis
successful but ephemeral efforts on the
hostings. We hare differed from Dr. Fel
ton mainly in the matters of methods. His
protest against bad men nnd measures was
local in its character. We have felt that
the wrongs of the Democratic party must
l>e righted in its organization, nnd we may
say, without undue egotism, that the Tkle-
onAi-B, in two State campaigns, has mater
ially helped to establish the trntk of this.
Indeed, Dr. Felton himself has become n
convert, and his announcement that he had
returned to the organization was hailed
urith satisfaction by all good men.
. His election to the Legislature raised the
expectation that he would become, not
only a leader, bnt a most useful member.
There was much work for the active brain
and the unqnailing courage of Dr. Felton.
We are forced, with mortification nnd dis
appointment, to the admisaion that he has
fallen far below the position within his
r.-ach.
His influence has been of n negnti”-
character, save as to a reformatory school,
the temperance question nnd tho pending
railroad bill. The first measure was ill
timed, and while it fell very far short of
correcting the evils of the convict sys
tem was calculated to keep
the isaue alive ns n political one. Every
thinking man is aware that the temperance
epidemic comes as regularly ns mere bodily
ones do, and that it will have to rnn ita
coarse, no mntter what legislation may he
enacted. But it is plain that this question
seriously threatens to invntle our politiea.
lint upon the railroad cumuiiiuiion bill
Dr. Felton ho* displayed a dangerous ilis-
jmsition, couplet! with a fervid nnd masterly
eloquence.
Professing to he a friend to railroads, he
hits upon mere rnmor mode the
most startling charges against
some of the most honorable and eminent
citizens of the State.
In place of approaching this subject with
the calmness and impartiality of a states
man, he has attacked the railroad system
of the State with the vigor, the vim, and we
regret to add, the venom of the political
demagogue; His language and apirit, if
correctly reported on Tuesday last, would
have been worthy of Herr Most or Citizen
Schwab, the leaden of the Communists.
The effect upon the Legislature was bad.
Would that it could have been confined to this
body. Bnt such radical utterances against
property, the sheet anchor of society, must
exhale their noxious poisons over people
who do not think and reason intelligently.
It affords us no pleasure to write this. At
thin point we are compelled to part with
Dr. Felton, in whom we hoped to find a
brave and earnest coadjutor in ridding
Georgia of the incubns of bad men,in build
ing up and fostering her gTeat ele
ments of wealth aud prosperity.
But the danger does not begin or stop
with the debate referred to.
The apprehension hsa been raised, that
Dr. Felton again proposes to rnn np the
hsnner of revolt, snd to go to the people
with his peculiar views.
If he stood outside the Democratic party
it would be better prepared to resist such
an assault. But the attack m ust come from
one within the heart of the citadel If Dr.
Felton stood alone, the danger of seri
ous division would he less. But behind
Dr. Felton we find his young marshals.
Butts, Berner, Aruheim snd others,
intent upon defying the ex
pressed will of the people, and
proclaiming that Georgia cannot and should
not change a law made as an experiment,
and which lias been shown to operate die-
advantageously and unequally upon persons
nnd projierty.
Have these young leaders and Democrats,
upon whom the Ktnte looked for gtiid-
uni-.- and protection in the future, l>een fas-
cinnt- d and overpowered by the eloquence
of Dr. Felton?
Are they willing tbst tbe capitol of Geor
gia shall be turned into a place for holding
n political meeting, when an idle crowd
shall shout itself hoarse over the denial of
•justice and the dosnfall of legitimate
methods?
Mot.-, in ease Dr. Felton shall be Induced
to in ike a canvass for Governor upon the
line marked out in his speeches, do these
young Democrats propose to follow his
lead nnd to disintegrate the party, and re
tard the progress of Georgia for another de
cade?
Ituxsards.
The wind that John Sherman sniffs so
eagerly and which blows through Granny
Sherman's side whiskers, comes from the
battle fields of twenty years ago. It brings
them only the IsKiming of cannon, the
curses of despair, and the shrieks of wound
ed men. It bears them no song of peace,
no pledge of love, no happy voices, no
cherry sounds of social nnd business re
union from the long lapse of years over
which it has drifted. The only message it
wafts to these aged listeners is n message of
hatred and strife.
There is a bird tlmt haunts these South
ern skies, a grim monster of the air, unsa
vory to the nose and forbidding to the
eye. All the year round he swings himself
above the fields, forests and cities. Voices
of children at play, the hum of happy life,
ascend unto him-but he hears them not.
Nature empties her myriad incense cups
into the air; he knows it not, The beauties
of earth lie sprend before him, God'a unri
valled panorama; he heeds it not. His som
bre form cleaves the vocal heights u blot on
tbo sky; his shadow darkens the primrose,
violet and asphodel. His eye is fixed on
some poor wasted frame rotting in the sun
shine; his scent is strained to catch death's
foul message from the oppressed breezes.
There beside that poor wreck and corrup
tion he finds solace and delight. There
rests he at lost, feeding on the victim of
disease, yet, poor timid beast, snch is his
character, lie starts oft from his own shad
ow, nnd crouches when the hurtling wing
of a dove is heard in the thicket.
There is no future for this boost. Kings,
there may lie among the eagles, bnt all buz
zards are equal. Messrs. Hoar nnd Sher
man have no need of a Daniel to read this
aright. Any manly citizen of the United
States can explnin nnd apply it.
(loomin'* Credit.
The recent decision of the attorney-gen
eral of New York, forbidding savings banks
to invest in Georgia bonds, prompts the
Galveston News to remark;
Tills puts tbe credit of the eo-callrd Empire State
of the South In an uncomfortable 'position and
some stalwart bractaff would seem to be in order.
Iu tbe meantime keep your earn open for a talented
bowl from tbe Georgia press.
We exhausted all of onr “talented howls'
daring the last campaign, bnt we hnve a
fact or two on hand.
The credit of Georgia does not require
any stalwart or Mugwntnp bracing. The
State can sell at a premium all the I Kinds
she may desire to issue. They nre eagerly
sought ns investments, nnd it is the misfor
tune of New York savings hanks thnt they
are not permitted to invest in snch safe se
curities. Georgia did not make the case
before the attorney-general of New York,
Henry Clews A Co. did, in onler to black
mail her. Georgia has snch credit as will
always command cash.
Cotton Statement,
From the Chronicle’s cotton article of
Octolier 2, the following fact* nre gathered
relative to the movement of the crop for tbe
past week;
For the week ending this evening (Octo
ber 2), the total receipts have reached
159,603 hales, against 111,873 hales lost
week, 84,743 bales the previous week nnd
53,080 bnlea three weeks since; making the
total receipts since the first of September,
1885, 435,128 boles, against 425,646 bnles
for the name period of 1884, showing an in
crease since September 1, 1885, of 9,482
bates.
The receipts of all the interior towns for
the week have been 97,667 hales. Lost
year the receipts for the some week were
85,632 bales. The old interior stocks have
increased during the week 15,193 holes,
and are to-night 17,875 boles more than at
the same period lost year. The receipts
at the name towns have been 13,986 bales
more than the same week last year, and
since September 1st the receipts nt all the
towns are 47,847 holes more than for the
name time in 1884.
Among the interior towns, the receipts nt
Macon for the week have been 2,542 hales.
Lost year the receipts for the week were
3,758 bales. These figures show a decrease
for the week of 1,216 bales.
The total receipts from the plantations
since September 1,1885, were 491,160 bales;
in 1884 were 457,928 bales; in 1883 wore
573,348 bales.
Although the receipts nt the ontporta the
past steek were 159,663 hales, tbe actual
movement (ram plantations was 179,093
hales, the balance going to increase the
stocks at the interior towns. Last year the
receipts from the plantations for the some
week were 182,063 bules and for 1883 they
were 197,219 halts.
The imports into Continental ports this
week have been 10,000 bales.
The figures indicate a decrease in the
cotton in sight to-night of 284,816 bales as
compared with tbe same date of 1884, a
decrease of 478,842 hales as compared with
the corresponding date of 1883, snd a de
crease ol 203,773 bales as compared with
1882.
The Chronicle has the following to say of
the market flnetnations for the week nnder

A SPRIG O’ 8HILLELAH.
The Irish llhu ktlinrii and Ita ruefulness
In Cracking I'ates.
Philadelphia News.
“There never waa a cowartl where that
came from," said a venerable delegate to
the' aheriffa' convention, speaking with an
irreprodncable brogne aa he brandished a
peculiar-looking cone, or rather bludgeon.
The stick wan about an inch in diameter,
with a rude, natural head of dark-brown cr
chocolate color, and covered with huge
thorns, the points of which had lieen cut
off. A rough brass ferrule was placed ou
the end.
“What ia it ?" naked a reporter nnd other
bystanders who curiously examined the
stock.
“A rale Irish blackthorn."
Everybody waa nt once interested and
wanted to know all about the veritable sprig
of shillelnh.
"What part of Ireland do they grow in?”
We asked.
“Everywhere. The aloe-bush flourishes
among rocks and in barren ground where
nothing else would grow. The fences which
line the roadsides and inclose the fields are
mainly of hawthorn, and in summer when
nicely trimmed are charming, but the haw
thorn is a totally different kind of thorn,
and is unsuitable for walking-sticks, not
being tough enough or so nice.”
“Are they much prized in Ireland?"
“Yon might ns well ask does an Irishman
prize a shamrock ns does he prize a black
thorn. Everybody has one or more black
thorns, nnd is always eager to obtain a good
one. Have you ever beard of Donnybrook
Fair? Well there is n spring of shillelah
thnt passed tbronghit twice. Ah, that was in
good old times, when n boy, who couldn't
dunce n jig, sing a good s.iug, kiss all the
pretty girls at a pattern or fair, and handle
his %illelah. was nothing bnt a Judy.
There were no stuck-up gentlemen, there.
There were bucks —the Buck of the Bog
sounds funny—bnt they weren'i
bad fellows. A womanish sor
of a fellow ia called a dude
here, but we vailed him a Judy. After n
fair n good, devil-may-care-sort of a boy
w ould be Laid np for n week with a broken
bead ; but it was only fun for hirn nnd he
thought it only nuturaL He had no bad
feeling for the man thnt cracked bin crown,
and the next time they met they would hnve
a jorum nnd perhaps break each other’s
hends in a friendly sort of n way before they
went home. Bnt those good old days are
over. National schools and railways and
newspapers put an end to all the fun."
"How are blackthorns prepared?” was
naked, when the old mnn hrnl shown himself
averse to continuing his reminiscences.
“Sloe bushes are very plentiful, but, like
all trees of stunted growth, very few of
them grow straight or have straight
branches, and there is some difficulty in
finding snitnhle ones for cutting. Some
which are bent can be straightened by put
ting them in boiling water. Many persons
make n living by doing nothing butjireparing
them. The thorns are first cut off, leaving
about three-quarters of an inch on the
body of the stick, which, after be
ing oiled, ia laid in the chimney
corner to season. While seasoning it is
oiled two or three times, and the oil and
smoke from the tnrf fire combine to give it
a richer color even than the natural"
"What are they worth?"
"A few cents in Ireland; about one dollar
each here. 1 wrote to a friend of mine who
wits coming over two or three years ago,
and he brought n trunk full of blackthorns.
They cost him nothing, hut he sold them so
well here thnt they brought him more than
the cost of his passage.'
SALTS IN ORNAMENTATION.
A llrtuurkalile Discovery— After Investiga
tion—A Novel Project.
Scientific American.
Some months ago a party connected with
one of the expeditions sent out liy the gov
ernment came to camp among the curious
springs that form the chief attraction of tbe
famous National park in the West, and sev
eral days were spent here in making a
thorough examination ol the place, laying
ont maps, etc.
Several days after their arrival, one of the
soldiers who formed it part of the guard re
ported to the leader, a veil-known scientific
man, that a very remarkable object bail
been token from one .of the springs, nnd was
awaiting his inspection. Eager for any
thing new, the scientist followed the man
to the edge of one of the cones, and found,
surrounded by the memliera of the party,
an object about four feet long of irregular
shape and of the greatest beauty, resem
bling perhaps s piece of lace or some ex-
traonlinary delicate fabric. It seemed im
possible that so beautiful an object should
have been taken from a hot spring of pure
water and various opinions were expressed
as to its nature anti the scientists of thu
party were divided as to its nature. When
lifted, it bent easily without falling apartt
and retained its regularity of structure.
After several days of investigation it was
found that cue of the soldiers had thrown
a shirt into the water and lost it for the
time, thin .ing that some comrade had
stolen it in jest; but finally it occurred to
some one to break the white, lace-like ob-
ject, and in the interior was found the sol
dier's shirt. In some peculiar action of the
salts in the hot spring the white shirt had
become coated with a rich white deiwait,
giving it the beantiful appearance referred
to. Every portion of the cloth was covered
with the rich white forms, s growth with
out life, as it were.
The expenmect of the shirt, though an
accident, waa not lost upon the observers,
and at a recent meeting of the New York
Academy of Hcience* one of the practical
results of tbe discovery was exhibited, the
writer being fortunate in seeing it It was
a simple iron clasp that had been placed in
the apring for several hours, snd when ex
hibited it was covered with a rich white
costing resembling frost, so that the moat
commonplace articles can be placed in this
natural bath, and in a few hours taken out
resplendent in the frost-like coating.
The idea was so valuable that it is said
that steps are being taken to secure the
right from the government of placing rude
statues formed of lead in this bath, where a
few hours later they would resemble marble.
In this way quasi marble statues can be
prislnccd at an extremely small cost An
iron or Uu figure of a man placed in one of
these springs becomes covered in three
honn; a longer time would perhaps hurt tbe
outlines of the figure, bnt experiment shows
that it is a quite valuable discovery.

THE MILD-KYF.D JERSEY.
Tlie State Fair's Hxlillilt to lie Kqunl to a
Tennessee Cuttle Show.
Mr. Clarke Grier earns in yesterday from a trip to
upper GeorKta. He visited every accessible section
run saw all the fauious breeders of thoroughbred
.rattle, lu tbe interest of tbe Stale fair.
"From what you saw aud beard, what are tbe
pnwiieets for visitors from North Georttia?"
"Then) will he twice as mauy people from that
section aa ever came down before, and I think I ant
safe in saying that fully oue-balf of them will coiuo
for no other purpose than to see the rattle ahow aud
attend tbe auction sale. You see they will tie ena
bled to buy thoroughbred Jersey heifers and young
bulls at much lower figure’s than If they were sold
at private sale. Besides this, there are a uumber of
owners of Jerseys who want to exchange their bulla,
and such an opportunity as this does not present
Itself often. I snow what I am saying when I
assert that there will lie nearly two hundred Jerseys
at the auction sale, to say nothing of those that will
le ou exhibition.'
-Do yon see any lino herds?”
"Among the breeders 1 visited waa Mr. J. B. Wade,
wlicse place fs at EdgewiMsl, near Atlanta. Mr,
IVsite Is one of the most hospitable of men, and the
latch-string of liis home hangs ou the outside. He
lias the tluest herds of Jersey# 1 ever taw, and
a imng them ia tin- famous eow Tern-1 o. I saw also,
Teuello second, who mw the best record for a young
cow iu Georgia. Mr. Wade will make Dome fine
displays of cattle at tbe fair. He will bring twelve
or fifteen cows aud heifers and a half dozen young
bulla to Is* sold ut auction sale. Other breeders
told me of their displays, aud there will be many
from outside tho State. ,
••Dldyoneec any horsemen?"
"Oh. yes; and by the way. Col. Lyons, of Carters-
vllle tells me that he is assured by letters f rum all
points to the Putou that some very fine homes will
is.- here, both for exhibition and racing. I will be
ready lu a few days to give you a list of the horece
that will trot and rnn. Mr. Jack Smith, of Barnes-
vtlle, who exhibited bts pair of Pcrvhenma here at
tbe last fair will bring them down again, and they
are a show within themselves."
"And you think from what yon hear and aee
the fair will have a large attendance?"
"I know it. Why np in North Georgia, where I
supposed hut little Interest would be taken, nnm-
tiers of people asked me about the game of base
ball between tbe champion Cblcagoa and other
clubs. Tbe game fs now a certainty, and as it will
ts- tbe finest, aud withal tbe most important ever
played in the United Htates. it ia well worth a trip
of a couple of hundred miles to witness."
The superintendents of the various departments
write most encouragingly of the displays. They
are all hard at work, and will strive to make the
Htato fair of IH85 one of the grandest ever given in
Macon.
BIG WEATHER FOR OCTOBER.

rains to fall iu the East Gulf anil south Atlantic
Htates, and high southeast winds in that section.
On the 7tb the storm will reach the Atlantic coast,
causing dangeruua northeast gales along the Middle
Atlantic States, and on the stli snow will fall
throughout the Middle States, with very cold north
east gales, and on tin- nth tee wilt form In that sec
tion. From the lath to tbe 15tli, clear, bright,
S leasant weather will prevail iu the
brtli, and a dead calm will extend all
along our Atlantic coaata. with foggy-, smoky
weather, like Indian summer. But on tbe loth
the second storm jierlod will set tn. and a cyclone
will form in the southern pari of the Gulf of Mex*
Ico. aud ou the tilth it will strike the western end of
the Island of Cuba, and on tlio 17th it will strike
Key West, Fla., and on the loth it will lie along the
North Carolina coast, and then disappear out to sea.
The shipping mere-haute of New York may feel hap

Bbasham, J.—1. The evidence on which
it is sought to show that plaintiff lielow was
injured by the engine of the defendant be
low, is of the vaguest sml most unsatisfac
tory character.
2. But assuming thnt it was shown that
the injury was inflicted by the engine of de
fendant, it seems clear that the plaintiff
could have avoided it by tho exercise of or
dinary diligence.
The plaintiff left convenient, accessible
sml well-lighted streets, leading to his home,
nnd went upon the right of way of a rail
road; upon the right of way were many
tracks constantly being nsed for the pas-
gage and switching of engines and can. He
left a place of safety and voluntarily went
into a place danger. It was, jierhsps, s
nearer and more convenient way down the
the railroad track bnt this no excuse for
volnntary peril; He went knowingly and
recklessly into danger, in the darkness,
when be was, perhaps, to some extent in
toxicated
He is not, therefore, entitled to recover.
