Jerald and ^fertisq. Newnan, Ga., Friday, May 4, 1888. Under Low Democratic Success Tariff. Philadelphia Record. Senator Joe Brown’s guerilla organ, the Atlanta Constitution, affects to at tach much importance to a rumor that President Cleveland will not permit the use of his name for re-nomination. The organ trusts that the rumor is “without foundation,” and hopes that the President will not shrink from a contest on the tariff platform which he has adopted. There is little doubt that the Democratic party and the Presi dent will do their whole duty in the' premises, without consulting disorgan izes and guerillas in any quarter. 'J he Atlanta Constitution's “Democratic” hope of Cleveland’s re-nomination is fortified by the cheerful trust that he will be beaten, on the assumption that “no man has ever been found who ' could lead the party to victory on that line.” If no better foundation can be dis covered for the hope of 1 resident Cleveland’s defeat than this false historical assumption, Senator Brown’s organ is building up a very frail basis. Andrew Jackson, in his message to Congress in December, 1832, recom mended a gradual diminution oi duties to the revenue, standard “as soon as a just regard to the faith of the govern ment ancl to the preservation of the large capital invested in establishments of domestic industry will permit. ’ That is precisely the position of Presi dent Cleveland’s message, of the Mills tariff bill and of the Democratic party. Andrew Jackson led the party to victo ry on that line, and with undiminished popularity transmitted his political power and policy to his Democratic successors. President Pierce was elected in 1852, and President Buchanan in 1856, on the same line of policy, while the fiee trade” tariff of 1846 was in full and suc cessful operation. Will any pretended Democrat in Georgia, or elsewhere, undertake to assert that the Mills bill is as radical a measure of tariff reduction as was the tariff of 1846? During the operation of this tariff the Democratic party achieved some of its greatest vic tories over the party of protection. While the Democratic party flourished under “free trade,” the high tariff Whig party went to pieces. There was then almost entire harmony in the Demo cratic ranks on this question, from Maine to Georgia, Since 'that time some remnants of the defunct Whig party have crept into the bosom of De mocracy to sow dissension and heresy in its organization. But while these remains of ancient high tariff Whiggery may temporarily embarrass and obstruct the Democratic party, they should not be permitted to guide its councils and dictate its policy. Of this fact Mr. Samuel J. Barnhill affords a melan choly example. One or two less notable examples are about to be given in Georgia, whose Democratic Repre sentatives in Congress, with the solita ry exception of Senator Joe Brown, cordially support the tariff message of the President and the principles em bodied in the Mills tariff bill. John C. Breckenridge, the Secretary of War, Mr. Davis set out to join the re mainder of the Confederate forces in Alabama. What was left of the Confederate Treasury, between 8500,000 and $600,- 000, had been sent to Abbeville, S. C., by rail, which was transferred to wag ons and sent across the Savannah river. When the vicinity of the little village of Danburg, about twelve miles from Washington, was reached, a party of raiders fell upon the treasure train and captured most of the money. The Pederals were iii hot pursuit and suc ceeded in recovering about $125,000. This circumstance has given rise .to almost as many romantic tales of hid den treasure as the story of Capt. Kidd, the celebrated buccaneer. It was ru mored at one time that a large amount of the treasure had been thrown into a deep creek, near the scene of the pil lage. A number of gold hunters flock ed to the spot, the creek was dredged, and the adjacent fields dug up and sifted. One of the seekers more enter prising than the rest dammed up the creek and pumped the water out by means of a steam engine, but no trace of the hidden treasure was ever, discov ered. After the last Cabinet meeting of the Confederacy at Washington, the members separated, going in differ ent directions. Mr. Davis and Post master-General Reagan went toward Macon and were captured May 10,1865, near the village of Invinville, which is about 175 miles north of Brunswick. has been slowest in Texas, Kentucky, Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana. The manufacturers express great confi dence that the business has not yet ap proached the line at which it is in dan ger of being overdone, but they are wisely making preparation to vary the lines of production, especially in the direction of a better class of goods. It might be expected that this mar velous increase in the cotton manufac turing capacity of the South would have damaged the same industry in New England and other Northern States. This does not, seem to have been the case, as a summary of the cot ton industry in New England, furnish ed recently by Bradstreet’s, shows that the average dividends of the companies in that section for the year just closed were larger than for 18S6, and as a rule fairly remunerative. According to the same authority the mills are now run ning to their full capacity, with goods in many instances sold ahead of pro duction. This is but another way for saying that the increased production of the South is all absorbed by the in creasing and prosperous population of that section. • Curious Coincidences. Brunswick (Ga.) Journal. A curious coincidence is that the last cargo of slaves brought to the United States was landed ohJekvl Is land, which is now the rendezvous of NTorthern millionaires. A law had been passed prohibiting the importation of slaves and was stringently enforced, but Charles A. L. Lamar, a wealthy citizen of Savannah, chartered the famous ship Wanderer, and obtained a cargo of negroes on the coast of Guinea. An attempt was made to land near Savannah and then at Port Royal, but the officers of the law were found to be on the alert at those points, and the Wanderer was brought to Jekyl, where a landing was effected. Mr. Lamar was arrested, however, and subjected to great inconvenience, but managed finally to escape the pen alty of the act by the expenditure of a large sum of money and through the in fluence of his family and friends. Speaking of curious coincidences, it is wonderful how many in connection with the late war occurred in the vi cinity of Washington, a beautiful vil lage in the interior of Georgia, The parents of Jefferson Davis lived at Washington, his father having been buried there. Mr. Davis was born ac cidentally in Kentucky, near the birth place of Abraham Lincoln. Alexander H. Stephens, Vice-President of the Con federacy, was born about six miles from Washington, and Robert Toomlis, Sec retary of State, was a native and resi dent of the place, while Reagan, Camp bell and Walker, members of the Con federate Cabinet, were born in the vi cinity. The last official acts of the Confederate government were perform ed in Washington, thus constituting it the Capital of the Confederacy, hence at one time this country had two capi tals, and both were named Washing ton.' Washington, Ga., was the first town named for the father of his coun- ^After the fall of Richmond and Lee’s surrender, President Davis and liis Cabinet had stopped in Charlotte, N. C. to await the result of the negotia tions pending the surrender of John ston’s army. Wliei* the information came that the Federal authorities had rejected the cartel arranged by Gen. VaJ- ' ■,. ■ • .. . Hog Cholera—Useful Rules. In case of liog cholera the Nebraska Farmer gives these twelve rules. 1. If an outbreak exists to remove all absolutely well hogs, as far as the eye can see, to a new pen on new land where there has never been any dis ease, and leave the sick or suspiciously ailing ones in the old pen. 2. To watch most carefully at every feeding time the hogs removed and at once cut out every animal that does not “go for his feed like a hog” or which betrays the slightest weakness in the movement, 3. To have a person take care of these hogs who does not go near or have any thing to do with the sick ones. 4. Not to allow the farm dog to run about free. 5. Place the new pens at such a dis tance from the home buildings and old grounds where the sick hogs are that hens cannot pass from one to the other. 6. Never put well hogs into places where hogs have been sick or died if you can in any way provide new quar ters, and on no account put them in such places under two years from the time when such hogs have all died or been sold, and then only when the bot tom boards of such pens have been re moved and burned and the earth under them dug out for 18 inches, and drawn and spread loosely over the earth out side of the pens, the place being filled up by new and fresh earth from anoth er part of the farm. 7. Remember this, the pen and each of the yards, all hay or straw stacks and such refuses are places which pro tect and preserve the cause of hog chol era, and that the removal of everything that has belonged to a herd that has been affected is no means of prevention protection from another outbreak on the same grounds. 8. Never place hog pens or runs near running water that comes to you from or outside of your own land. Water your hogs from the well. 9. Never bury your sick hogs along the banks of a running stream, because it is easier to shovel the dirt upon them from the bank than to dig a hole and bury them. 10. Burn them when possible. 11. Don’t sell sick or exposed hogs to your neighbors. This is a civil crime, if not against the animal disease laws of the State. 12. Be watchful, careful and diligent and you can control hog cholera. ed if called gamblers. I know a man who always gambles with his barber. When he goes to get shaved he always throws dice before he sits down to see if he will have a shampoo at the bar ber’s expense. Then they throw for the price of a bath, then the cigars and the drinks. The man is in business in Clarke street, and never played a card in his life or bet on a horse race or a game of ball. But he tells me that the minute he gets shaved a spirit of gam bling comes upon him in a way that is irresistible. Ferdinand De Lesseps. The Epoch. M. de Lesseps is about to visit the Isthmus again. The astonishing activ ity of this man of 82 is a never-ending theme for those who observe the career of the “grand Frenchman,” as Ganibet- ta called him. Whatever we Ameri cans may think of the Panama Canal, we must admit that the promoter of the scheme is one of the most remarka ble men of the age, and one of the most sympathetic. With Lamartine and Victor Hugo he is the most universally popular Frenchman of this century. M. de Lesseps gets liis wonderful ac tivity from the paternal side, his fath er having been one of those sprightly Marseillaise who never kept still a long while at a time. His mother was a Cat alonian, and on her side he inherits his deliberative qualities. Most persons who have a general idea of M. de Les seps’ career think he is an engineer, and ignore that he began life as a di plomatist. To be sure lie quitted the diplomatic service in 1849, so the pres ent generation may be excused for not remembering that before digging can als he was a promoter of peace on land. M. de Lesseps’ father was also a diplo matist, and at the beginning of the century visited America for the pur pose of negotiating a commercial treaty between France and our country. To see the distinguished looking and alert gentleman on the boulevard, or galloping along on horseback, accom panied by seven or eight of his chil dren, no one would ever suppose that he was in his 83d year, and that he had had eleven children by his second wife, whom he married on the day the Suez canal was inaugurated. A few weeks ago some of the numerous enemies of the Panama scheme started the report of M. de Lesseps’ death. To a friend who called at the house to learn the truth of this rumor the 'celebrated French man replied: “Some good souls "have said that I was dead; you see I am still alive. Others have pretended that my leg is broken. If those who started this story will come and see me I will prove to them by a well-known move ment that my leg is in very good con dition.” M. de Lesseps lives in the Avenue Montaigne in a spacious hotel that he bought three years ago from the Prin cess de Beauveau. On the day of his marriage in 1869, his father-in-law gave him 100,000f. to invest, not knowing himself where best to place his daugh ter’s benefit. At that moment the shares were worth 250f., and faith in the fu ture canal was not very strong. M. de Lesseps put the 100,000 into Suez stock, and in 1S85 they had produced 1,500,- OOOf. With this he bought the hotel for Mme. de Lesseps. Golden Gowns and Hats. London Telegraph. There is a thirst for gold in Paris this season that nothing seems to allay. A great many of the handsomest evening gowns worn at the many receptions and balls—that are rendering this sea son one of the gayest on record—have some gold in their composition; now in the form of gold-bead fringes, forming a glittering shower panel and plastron; now interwoven in the material itself, whether silk or satin, gauze or tulle, or applied with the embroidery needle upon such light silken tissues as Ben- galine, or in the shape of passemente ries—arabesques executed in gold, gilt beads and spangles, which suit heavier tissues such as faille and velvet. Per sian milliners, having used gold trim mings in great profusion for dressy winter bonnets, are ready to resort to it again for early spring, having discov ered some new and exquisite harmo nious combinations of gold filigrain with colors, out of which are wrought garlands of leaves in high relief, and fine lace-like tracery to be mounted on bonnets made of quilted tulle, the tint ed meshes of which are slightly bur nished with gold. This same lace tulle composes pretty little poufs for the hair, with a few sprays of aigrette, gilt grasses, ears of corn, or small flow- erletts in filigrain. Lilies of the val ley, hyacinths, and fernfronds in gold look very well also with bias of green velvet maiden hair, or as a finish to a ribbon rosette of the same color as the dress; colored gauze butterflies, too, are set in a tiny sheaf of metallic grasses, and a couple of peacock’s feathers painted with gold dust may be treated in the same way. line’s WEAK NERVES Paine’s Celeby Compound is a NeraTtoirio which never fails.

Dorn Pedro has rek for fifty-seven years. ;ned over Brazil King Cotton Getting on His Feet. Philadelphia Times. So much has been said of the mar velous growth of the iron industries in the South that public atten tion has been drawn from another industry, which is of long standing and of equal if not greater importance. Formerly the South grew cotton to be manufactured elsewhere, buying its manufactured cotton goods in British or Northern markets. That this will be necessary much longer is not likely, judging by the growth of the cotton manufacturing industry in that section since 1SS0. The Manufacturer's Record, of Balti more, recently presented a carefully prepared statement of the growth and condition of this industry in the South. The exhibit is remarkable. In 1SS0 there were in the thirteen Southern States 179 cotton mills, containing 713,- 3S9 spindles, and 15,222 looms. In 1SS7 this number had grown to 294 mills, with 1,495,145 spindles and 34,006 looms. With the additions now in construction in a number of the larger mills, the total spindles in operation will soon be increased to 1,736,000, with 38,000 looms. The product of the mills has increased in value from $21,000,000 in 1880 to $43,000 in 1SS7. In other words, seven years have doubled the cotton mill ca pacity in this section. While every Southern State, except Florida, has been affected to some ex tent by this boom in cotton manufac turing, Georgia, Maryland, the Caro- linas, Alabama and Tennessee have Consumption Surely Cured.

Progress How Different Men Gamble. Chicago Mail. I met a lottery-mad man at dinner to-day. He is a companionable sort of fellow, attentive to business, a good husband, but mad on lottery. Like most men who have a weakness for sporting, he believes that lie will some day make his fortune off a dollar ticket. He told me how nearly he came to it once. One of his friends, who knew the number he held, told him that he had just seen the drawings and that his ticket had drawn $6,000. They immediately start- j ed out and made a collection of friends as they traveled. They dined on ter rapin and all the concomitants, and traveled largely by carriage until they had made a day and a night of it, when the lottery-mad man discovered that his friend had made a mistake, but not until more than $200 had been thrown away. But he is still buying jqst the same, and believes that his lucky star is coming up in the course of time. Now that this subject is up I call to mind a certain business man on Monroe street who is a lunatic on policy. But he has not always been a loser. He has a curious way of getting what he calls lucky numbers. He meets an acquaint ance and, stopping him suddenly, he says: “Give me three numbers quick, and after a while I will tell you what I mean.” He takes the three and goes off to a policy shop. He told me he never failed to win when he gut his numbers in this way, but be always lost when he played liis own numbers. It is astonishing how many men you will find who are gambling in a curious way every day of their lives, and yet they would consider themselves insult- Babies that are fretful, peevish, cross, or troubled with Windy Colic, Teeth ing Pains, or Stomach Disorders, can be' relieved at once by using Acker’s Baby Soother.
