WEEKLY CIRCULATION, 1,750.
JAS. E. BROWN. Editor.
A Soft Answer Turneth Away
Wrath.
Mr. ,T. C. Adams, the late postmaster
at Hogansville,' ought to be a happy
man if lie is not. lie appears to have
more friends than anybody;—friends,
too, whose formidableness and readi
ness to take up the cudgel in his de
fense has been well illustrated on sev
eral occasions. They are constantly on
the alert, and in their eagerness to
wage battle against Mr. Adams’ imagi
nary foes do not wait every time for
the gauntlet to be thrown down.
Mr. Adams’ latest defender is a wri
ter in the Woodbury Hot Blast, who
seems aggrieved because we did not
espouse Mr. Adams’ cause when that
gentleman was being so ably and ex
haustively discussed by Editor ltevill
and our old friend, Col. P. W. Martin,
several weeks ago. (That is, we sup
pose he is aggrieved, as no ot her motive
is* either apparent or conjecturable.)
Moreover, he seems to have been ren
dered utterly miserable because we, in
terms that were meant, to be amiably
neutral and impartial as between the
distinguished disputants themselves,
and wholly unbiased as to the issue in
volved, saw lit to deprecate that con
troversy as “ill-advised and fruitless.’
The writer of the article signs himself
“Frank,” wit I* an interrogation point
after it, and consumes a full column of
the Hot Blast's valuable space in try
ing to show the injustice of our com
ment and to prove that the controver
sy referred to was neither “ill-advised
nor “.fruitless.” His evident purpose
is to inveigle us into a controversy,
but in this he will be disappointed. We
have neither the time nor the inclina
tion. In fact, life is too short. And
lie will doubtless be still further disap
pointed when we announce that his sa
pient ratiocination has had no effect in
assisting us to a different conclusion
from that indicated in the editorial
comment to which he so petulantly
demurs. We have the highest regal’d
for the two excellent gentlemen who
permitted themselves to be drawn into
this discussion, and are not in the least
prejudiced against either Mr. Grimes
or Mr. Adams; but we still insist that
the controversy was both “ill-advised
and fruitless.”
Mr. Adams is no less and no more a
Democrat riow than when the contro
versy began. Admitting that his po
litical idiosyncrasies had been ol a
character to excite distrust, a simple
presentation of facts at the outset
would have settled the point in dispute
to the satisfaction of all concerned.
Mr. Adams’ Democracy was an exist
ing, sentient principle or it was not,
and could neither have been establish
ed nor disestablished by mere contro
of appointive, (being the on« introduc
ed by Mr. Atkinson,) received the sup
port of both the Coweta members.
A bill to regulate the inspection of
oils in this State, and to require the
fees (about $13,000) to 1m* paid into the
State Treasury for the benefit of the
public school fund, was also introduced
by Mr. Atkinson, and received their
joint support.
Both voted for the Candler resolution
providing for the better protection of
the State Road, and also for the Berner
resolution requiring the State Road les
sees to make a new bond.
Both voted against the resolutions I
appropriating $12,000 additional for the
upon. Utah also aspires to be a State,
but of course her admission is out of
the question as long as she clings to the
Twin relic’.
It appears that Mr. Oberly’s views
upon the relations of political clubs to
civil service are not so stringent as was
at first supposed, as the Commissioner,
in an interview with a member of the
National Democratic League, says that
he endorses the objects of that organi
zation, and would contribute money to
it if asked to do so out of his olfice. It
would therefore seem that Commission
er Oberly is merely a stickler for the
red-tape proprieties of official life. But,
to a man up a tree, it looks like a clear
Ctmusemcnts.

versy.
We have endeavored to preserve a
strict neutrality in this discussion, and
shall continue to do so. We reproduc
ed the articles of Messrs. Revill and
Martin because the subject of contro
versy was one of general interest to the
District, and because requested to do
so by a number of our readers. Tiie
Herald and Advertiser has a wide
circulation, and in catering to the
tastes of a fastidious patronage it is
necessary to furnish such variety of
reading as will suit all classes.
Referring to our comment upon the
Martin-Revill controversy in The Her
ald and Advertiser of the 30th ult.,
the Woodbury complainant says:
“Now, the animus of the editor of
The Herald and Advertiser, per
haps, is not very hard to see. Let us
ask him if he would have written ‘ill-
advised and fruitless’ if Mr. W. Y. At
kinson was not one of the proprietors
of his paper?”
The question is hardly coherent, and
still more impertinent; but in order to
stop the garrulity of the Woodbury
carper we can state without embar
rassment that Mr. Atkinson has no
proprietary interest whatever in The
Herald and Advertiser, past or
present. And if he had, his connec
tion as part proprietor would give him
no authority to dictate or direct the
editorial policy of the paper. The
editor alone is responsible for the
views and opinions set forth from time
to time in these columns, and not the
Xewnan Publishing Company.
“Frank” has evidently found a
mare’s nest and in trying to count the
eggs has become somewhat befudd led.
We advisl him to soak his head.
further that when guano sold to far
mers fell below the standard establish
ed by law the buyer was entitled to re
cover of the seller, as liquidated dam
ages, one-lialf of the purchase price of
the guano, and was also allowed to
plead failure of consideration. This
bill was generally favored by the far
mer members of the Legislature, and
had it come up earlier in the session
would doubtless have become a law.
Xeither the Huff penitentiary bill
nor the Felton reformatory hill suc
ceeded in reaching a vote in the House.
Roth favored the bill to repeal an act
giving $06,000 to the Marietta and
Xorth Georgia Railroad.
There may have been other measures
of some importance, hut those
mentioned were more conspicuous by
reason of the lengthy discussions that
followed their introduction, and the
only ones of which we took particular
note.
Taken altogether, it is a pretty fail-
record, and one that we have 110 doubt
will be generally approved by the peo
ple of Coweta county.
The September earnings of the Cen
tral Railroad, including all its branches,
were $7S0,000. The expenses were $415,-
000, leaving $364,000 as net earnings—
an increase of receipts over last year,
for the same period, of $115,000.
The total expenses of the Piedmont
Exposition, including cost of buildings
and all other items, aggregated $199,-
350. Total receipts from all sources,
$209,006.
They Stand Upon Their Record.
Now that the Legislature has ad
journed our people may have some cu
riosity to know how their Representa
tives voted 011 the leading ques
tions tftat came up for action in
that body. Anticipating this desire,
we have kept a sort of diary of their
legislative acts and doings, and presum
ing that it will be of some interest to
our readers we give it below:
Glenn’s educational bill was support
ed by both Mr. Atkinson and Mr. Mix
on.
Both voted against the bill allowing
the extension of the Marietta and
Xortli Georgia Railroad to Atlanta.
Thev likewise opposed the resolution
authorizing the Governor to advertise
• he State Road for lease or sale.
A bill to make the office of Commis
sioner or Agriculture elective instead
The late Legislature was in session
157 days and cost the State $186,424.03.
Think of this, fellow-citizens, and weep.
Our Washington Letter.
Mr. Editor:—The chief event at the
Capital this week is the habeas corpus
trial of .the Virginia State officers before
the United States Supreme Court, on
appeal from the court of Judge Bond,
by whom they were summarily com
mitted to prison for contempt. Of
course, the telegraph lias already in
formed you of the action of the Su
preme Court; how, after being person-
significant, showing as it does the
change from the loose Republican sys
tem to that old and vigorous usage of
the Democratic party in protecting
such of our citizens as had become the
victims of foreign aggression and op
pression, which for so many years was
the settled policy of our Government.
This treaty is now pending before the
United States Senate, with President
Cleveland’s recommendation that it be
ratified. S.
Washington, D. C., Oct. 22d.
Mighty Lonesome.
Macon Telegraph.
Yesterday’s Augusta Chronicle con
tains this announcement: “The Chron
icle favors protection and the repeal of
the internal revenue.”
We can see only one merit in this
statement, and that is its frankness.
The Chronic}' admits that the repeal
of the internal revenue means the main
tenance of a tariff laid for protection
and not for revenue. There is a politi
cal party in this country which stands
exactly on that ground. It is called
the Republican party. The Chronicle
is a Democratic newspaper, but it can
not disguise, even to itself, the fact
that it is very lonesome. Few Demo
cratic papers in this country can be
found who would be willing to avow
the tariff doctrines of the Chronicle.
Few Democrats in Congress hold such
principles. Few Democratic voters
would endorse them. The Chronicle
has gone astray. We are sorry it lias
done so. The best thing the Chronicle
can now do is to come back and stand
squarely on the Democratic platform.
It is getting painfully close to the edge.
Ee Ought to Move to Atlanta.
Correspondence Leary Courier.
I was one of the party that left Leary
last Monday en route to the Piedmont
Exposition.' We arrived in Macon
about 6 o’clock that evening, but our
train pulled out for Atlanta in about
ten minutes afterwards. We reached
Bolingbroke, a few miles from Macon,
where we took a breathing spell of
about three hours. We then made an
other start and got to Sunnyside, near
Griffin, where we spent the remainder
of the night. There were about 1800
souls aboard and with few exceptions
they were all ravenously hungry, and
the chances for something to eat was
limited to one little grocery store at
that place. Upon this the crowd made
a charge, and the proprietor was soon
doing the most rushing business, selling
canned goods and crackers, etc., that
he had ever experienced. Canned sal-
ally held in custody by that tribunal: mon jumped from fifteen cents to forty
one day, the prisoners were released
upon their own recognizance until the
final hearing of the case on the first
Monday in Xovember. Roscoe Conk-
ling and J. Randolph Tucker will be
counsel for the defendants and Solici
tor-General Jenks and ex-Governor
Chamberlain will represent the Govern
ment. As tiie case is of national impor
tance, it will be watched with interest
throughout the whole country. Later
in the week, it is probable that the case
of the Chicago Anarchists will be tak
en up, as the preliminary,steps in that
direction have already been taken.
Xext in interest to these proceedings
is the meeting of the Agricultural Con
gress—now in session in this city—com
posed of representatives of the agricul
tural colleges and experimental stations
in the several States, as provided for
by the act of Congress of March 2d,
1887. It is the purpose of the meeting
to have a general discussion of the best
means of giving practical effect to
the provisions and operations of the
law in question—some of the subjects
to be considered being as follows: The
general subject of experimental sta
tions; the object and scope of the work
to be done; the most useful experiments
and investigations, demanded by far
mers in the different States, 'and the
practicability of adjusting these experi
ments between the several stations so
; as to avoid duplication of work. Xo
j doubt the Congress will result in great
good.
During the next session of Congress
the four Territories of Montana, Dako
ta, New Mexico and Washington will
vigorously present and press their
claims for Statehood, and many think
the result will be the admission of all,
while others believe that no new State
will be admitted till after the next
Presidential election. It is not at all
probable that Dakota Territory will be
made a State if its division is insisted
cents per box in about two minutes,
and as the proprietor held a corner on
the market, he got the rise without any
trouble. Other kinds of canned goods,
including potash, participated in the
rise of prices. It is a fact that the
shrewd merchant, appreciating the
golden opportunity that had been
thrust upon him, after selling out all
of his canned mackerel, salmon, oysters,
etc., worked off several cases of canned
potash 011 the crowd, and then before
the imposition was discovered closed
up his shop and left for home.
In Brief, and to the Point.
Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe to
good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is one
of the most complicated and wonderful
things in existence. It is easily put out
of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,
irregular habits, and many other things
which ought not to be, have made the
American people a nation of dyspeptics.
But Green’s August Flower has done
a wonderful work in reforming this sad
business and making the American peo
ple so healthy that they can enjoy their
meals and be happy.
Remember:—A o happiness without
health. But Green’s August Flower
brings health and happiness to the dys
peptic. Ask your druggist for a bottle.

Why is it that we can sell

cause they are made almost at
