®to| Herald and ^dcerfoq. Newnan, Ga., Friday, Oct. 28, 1887. 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.

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. Seventy-five cents. Onn nounesments for mayor.
