As Moral and More Dignified.
Columbus Times.
Walking matches are the latest sen

more moral, but from our standpoint it
would be more dignified to buy lottery

nouncement of the drawing.

suspect.

that lie must have an interesting suit.
TAYLOR.
THE CROP OUTLOOK IN TATLOR.
June 11.—The prospects of a fine
crop were greatly enhanced by a nice
rain or, last Friday, and with a few
move the corn crop will be very near
made. Cotton has been somewhat re
tarded by the cool winds of late, but
with proper seasons may turn out a
pretty fair yield. • To the sorrow of the
thresh men, the grain crop is very near
housed, except the crop that was killed
by the cold and had to be resowed.

Ancient History.
News and Advertiser.
Several of our contemporaries are
publishing the early history of their lo
calities from the pens of some of the
old citizens. Some of these reminis
cences read like ancient history, but it
is well that such incidents’ are pre
served. They will supply the future
historian with valuable material.

BURNING OF TnE LEBAN HOUSE—A COL
LEGE PRESIDENT RESIGNS.
June 11.—At 2:46 this morning the
populace was notified by the fire alarm
that the Leban House was on fire. In
fifteen minutes from the sounding of
the alarm the Xeptunes had a stream
on the fire, and shortly after the Mitch-
el steamer. Had there been plenty of
water part of the houm; might have
been saved. The lack of this resulted
in the burning of all of it. Mrs. E. J.
Young, the owner of the house, had
♦3,000 insurance in the Southern Mu
tual. Mrs. Leban had $900 on the
furniture in North American. A good
deal of the furniture was saved, but
somewhat damaged. Tho piano, a re
cent purchase, was lost. The house
was about full of boarders, all of whom
succeeded in removing themselves and
their possessions. The probable cause
of the tiro was the “burning out” of
chimneys yesterday.
The recent rains, though exactly
wrong for oats, have been of Immense
benefit to everything else.
President I. H. Alexander, of the
South Georgia Agricultural College,
sent in his resignation to the board of
trustees yesterday. He will apply for
admission to the bar this summer, and
will probably go to Atlanta to practice,
Much regret is felt at his leaving the
college, and his place will be hard to
fill. Success to him wherever he
goes. .

The Railroad Commissioners.
Charleston Nests and Courier.
The IVlnntboro’ A'eic* gives the follow-
lug statement of too effect of the recent
Melons of Judgo Kershaw, involving
the po*»rs of the Railroad Commission
ever the railroads In this State:
"In the tint case the Jncge decides thst
the railroad company cannot charge an
additional one-half cent, per mile for sec
ond class passengers who fall to bay tick-
«*• This leares the company to charge
•his extra rate for first-clast passengers

*1 the right of the Commissioners to reg

without the State, and the reverse. The
judge decides the commission has no pow
er so to do, os that affects Inter-State com-
tusvee, reverses the Commission and sus-
Jsin-the appeal of the railroad company.
The first decision is of very litUe imppr-
toiee; but the second greatly curtails the
power of the Commluion. While the

cslly strips the CcLi'Xiinion of Us power
over the railroads, and we believe that
Juuzc Kershaw’s decree is not good law,
but U founded upon sound public policy.

“The Democrats who are opposed to
tho nomination of the old ticket must
prepare to eat crow,” says the Augusta
Chronicle. This goes to show how
badly mistaken a good editor may be.
It is the Democrats that ray “the old

only “the old ticket” can win, that will

Walton New*.
When a man posts his land the law
does not prohibit him from fishing or

to fish on their own land for fear of be
ing prosecuted.
A Plea for Harmony.
Union anil Recorder.
Tho State convention soon to assem
ble at Atlanta should bo harmonious.
And tho tvay to have harmony is to let
all questions ol principle and policy be
submitted to an ablo committee ol tho
wisest nnd most conservative men in
tho convention, nnd their united coun
sel and convictions bo the judgment of
tho convention. To uso this seems to
be fair, and tho best way to secure har

hasn't read tho late Mr. Stephens out

Chronicle that did thst work, several

sidered as authority on the subject.
The American is still waging war
against the indifference of the people
of Csrtersville with regard to their
school houses. Very few will be in
clined to dispute the position taken in
the following paragraph: “It is wrong,
almost criminally wrong, to make deli
cate children sit in open, leaky, tum
ble-down school houses, on board
benches, through the heat of summer
and the cold of wiutcr, year in and year
out.”

the effect of the rains in Dougherty:
“Tho rains that wo have had during
the last few days have had a happy
effect not only upon the farmers, but
upon the merchants who are selling
goods and plantation supplies on
credit.” So ft seems that they have
not been an unmixed blessing. bell
ing goods nnd plantation supplies on

and seller.

Wind, Hall and Rain.
Augusta Evening News.
On the Georgia load as far as Madi
son, and between that place and Au
gusta, a gentleman who came down
last night, reports tremendous rains,
accompanied by hail and wind. The
rain fell in torrents at Madison, nnd
from tho appearance of the clouds, it
must have been very general through
out that section. The hail was very
heavy, and it is feared that great dam
age has been done to crops. The cool
breezes to-day are the result of the
storm.

From every direction the gratifying

good rain in two or three weeks from

the year has never been more promising
that at present. •

Tho oat crop is about hnrvesteil, and
though tho crop is light, yet the yield
is fair, taking all things into considera

Most of it is remarkably low, but it
has a good color. Late com is looking
very fine. Cotton is only tolerably
fair. Potatoes and peas are being
planted. The cane crop, owing to the
scarcity of seed, will be short. The
rice and pinder patches are just boom-
The store of Mr. Jtmca Whitehurst,
