A negro, claiming to be a lawyer from New York, circulated among the negroes of Cobb county last week, and on the strength of Harrison’s election told them that he had been sent out to buy up all the lands he could and sell them to negroes on twenty years’ time at 6 per cent. His charge for inspect ing a farm was from $10 to $12, which every one that wanted to buy had to pay in advance, he agreeing to meet them in Marietta a few days later and execute deeds to the farms. He picked up a few hundred dollars and skipped for parts unknown. Coweta fared pretty well in the ap pointment and apportionment of legis lative committees this week. Mr. At kinson is second .on the General Judi ciary, the most important committee of all, with the rank of ex-officio chairman. He is also a member of the committees on Privileges and Elections, Ways and Means, and Western and Atlantic Rail- mod.* Mr. Jones has been equally lucky, he having been assigned to duty on the following leading committees: Argri- cuiture, Appropriations, Immigration and Lunatic Asylum. Representative Snelson, of Mer iwether, achieved some notoriety last week by introducing a resolution in the House to prohibit cussin’. A motion was-made to lay the resolution on the table, which was unanimously second ed, with only one" vote against it—that of Mr. Snelson. Mr. Brady, of Sumter, has been returned to the Legislature, and evi dences his gratitude to an admiring but misguided constituency -by renewing his fight upon the guano dealers. lie has re-introduced his bill allowing, purchas er- of guano to plead failure of consid eration, etc., and has the satisfaction of knowing that it will meet with little opposition in the House. If Mr. Bra dy is really interested in the welfare of the farmers of Georgia and would ■ et at the root of the evil he should in troduce a bill to prohibit the use of fertilizers and be done with it. States men of the Brady type are becoming too numerous anyway. What the country' needs is practical, sensible legislation that, will establish a permanent comity between the commercial and agvicul- t-oral classes,' and any effort to disturb these friendly relations should be con demned by honest, right-thinking men everywhere. The spirit of tariff reform is stalk ing abroad in the land with a joy r ousness and ubiquity that must be surprising to our protection friends, but it is so. It will take more than one Republican defeat to lay the wraith. Tuesday last was set apart for the election of a United States Senator, to succeed lion. A- H. Colquitt, whose term will expire on the fourth of March 1889., Mr. Colquitt was re-elected with out opposition. COLUMBUS EXPOSITION. The Street Gamblers of China. One never failing source of amuse ment was watchiug the street gam blers. You see a man, generally the most innocent looking of Chinamen, if one Chinaman can be said to look in any way different from another, unless in size, walking along with what looks like a rather large um brella. He stops in what he thinks to be a convenient place, always near a comer, sticks this machine on the ground, which in some ingenious way becomes a gambling table, marked into squares and spots. In an instant he is surrounded by a crowd of all ages, and the game goes merrily on. Suddenly a cry of police “goes up and in an instant man and table have mysteriously disappeared and the crowd has scattered. I believe the law is strict against gambling, but the po lice seem about as efficient to stop and prevent it as are the police of our country. I never could get to under-, stand the game, but it seems to be run on the good old principle that the odds should be in favor of the bank, as the bank seemed always to win. After watching the game for several days, I came to the conclusion that the person who raised the cry of police must be a confederate, as it was always done when the stakes were quite large, that is, for that game, as only pieces of copper were placed on the board, and in his anxiety to get away the man would not wait to hand back to the players their money, but would disap pear, money, table, and all.—Samuel F. Farrar in Chicago Journal. Ctnnomtcements. ” ^ OR COUNCILMAN. The frienus of GEORGE R hereby announce his name as a can _ c Alderman. Election featurdaj ■ December 8. FOR COUNCILMAN.

This is the cheapest money in Georgia. Ap ply to L. M. FARMER, Attorneypt Law, Newnan, Ga. The Detectives of Berlin. The detectives of Berlin are the nearest approach in stolidity to those of London. There is really very little' crime in the German empire, on ac count of the extraordinary sentences that are imposed and the strict mili tary discipline that prevails through out the empire, and which has its highest development in Berlin. On M i is account, the most experienced and capable detectives are taken out of the criminal service as rapidly as possible, and promoted to the official depart ment. Their duties consist solely in watch ing socialism and guarding eminent Germans from bombs and dynamite. Bismarck, for instance, never travels without the protection of at least two of the crack officers of the detective corps, and, when lie takes a ride in the park, or even ventures on a short official visit to one of the departments, a man precedes and follows him. The vigilance is severe and thorough. The emperor, I may remark in passing, is never guarded by detectives, but his personal staff hover about him in a fashion that renders any-interference from Nihilists or Socialists well nigh impossible. As to the skill of the Ger man detectives, it cannot, I think, be compared for a moment with that of the police of Paris or New 1 ork.—New York Cor. Globe-Democrat.

P. Railroad Nov. 20 1888. JAS. E. JONES. Land and Stock for Sale. It is already announced that Hop. Flem DuBignon, President of the Sen ate, and Congressman Jas. H. Blount, of Bibb, will contest for the Governor ship two years hence, and the rumor is practically confirmed by the acquiescent silence of the gentlemen named. It is also given out that Gov. Gordon will be at candidate for United States Senator when his present term expires, which will be in November, 1S90. Meanwhile the “dear people” are on deck and may he expected to take a hand in the fun, and their participation may result in a promiscuous smashing ' of slates all around. The people of Georgia are getting tired of standing candidates, and will be apt to demand new meth ods as well as new men when the pro per time arrives. Senator Bartlett has introduced a bill to increase t he salaries of Judges of the Supreme'and Superior Courts in this State, as follows: Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, $5,000; Associate Jus tices, $4,500 each; Superior Court Judges, $3,500. Of course, there is no chance for the bill to become a law, but we are glad to know there is one man in the Georgia LegislaTtire with sufficient courage to propose a meas ure of this character. There is not a State in the Union that pays such niggardly salaries as are doled out to Georgia’s public servants, from Governor down, and it is a policy that reflects no credit upon a prosperous and otherwise enterprising commonwealth. We are for the bill, and hope it will be come a law. Finest Show in the South-The Attrac tions-Low Rates on Railroads. The Chattahoochee Valley Exposi tion, which opened at Columbus, No vember 15, and will close December 1, is already a brilliant success. Parties who have attended expositions all over the country during the year says, without hesitation, that Columbus leads them all in the beauty of her buildings and grounds, the extent and variety of her exhibits, her splendid mile track, in the arrangement of her Exposition park, and in cheap and rap id transportation to and from her Ex position. All of the railroads east of the Mississippi and south of the Ohio rivers sell tickets to and from the Ex position at the remarkably low rate of one cent a mile. The exhibits in the main building, in machinery hall, in agriculture, in minerals, and in fact in all departments, are simply splendid. Col. A. F. Ross, of Rome, a gentleman of integrity and wide experience, says that there are more fine horses in Co lumbus “than ever gathered at any one place in the South before.” In addition to the splendid races and magnificent displays in all departments of the Ex position there are many special attrac tions, including military drills, brilliant displays of fireworks, reunions of veter ans. balloon ascensions with parachute jumps of thousands of feet, a gathering of farmers and many others. There are ample* accommodations in the hotels, boarding houses and private residences that have been thrown open to the pub lic for as many people as may go. to Columbus; aud the rates charged are very low. Every man, woman and child who can get to Columbus should see the great Chattahoochee Valley Expo sition. Peculiar Idea About Religion. A student deeply versed in ecclesias tical matters recently advanced a very peculiar idea while conversing with a friend. He said that the established religion of a country owed its princi pal doctrines less to faith than to the conditions of its climate and surround ings. He cited the beautiful religion of the natives of Lidia, who would not eat anything that had once lived, be cause, while all could take away life, only One could give it. He argued that a religious belief like that could only have its origin in an intensely hot climate like that of India, where animal food is not necessary to sus tain life. Among the Laplanders such a religion could never obtain, because it was absolutely necessary for the inhabitants of so high a latitude to keep the warmth of the body up to a certain heat. Nothing but animal fat could do that.—New York Sun. i A Rope Walker's Coolness. If I myself do not feel nervous, I am afraid the many persons I have . carried on my back across the rope . have felt a trifle perturbed, save when : they have been professional assistants, j In reality there is nothing in the j world for them to be afraid of. Ail j they have to do is to sit perfectly still, | refrain from clutching me too tightly j around the neck and leave the rest to j me. When I am carrying any on? j over for the first time, I chat to him j continuously on any indifferent sub- j jects I can think about, aud try in this j manner to relieve his anxiety, and 1 j always caution him against looking j downward when in mid air. Some- j how, though, he never seems quite j happy, aud I always detect a gasp of j relief when the end of the rope and j the platform are reached.

Dissipation of Vital Energy- Truly did Emerson designate dissi pation as the greatest evil in life. He did not mean dissipation in the narrow and common sense of excess of drink ing. He meant dissipation of all sorts —the dissipation of vital energy in the pursuit of trivial objects, social dissipation, w money, waste in general.
