As soon as it is known for a cerr tainty that, he will accept, his host of friends will rise up all over the State and go to work for him. It would le but just, fair nnd right for this part of the State to furnish the Governor after being deprived of that privilege for about sixty years. The Colonel pos sesses all of the requisite qualities to make a good Governor. Before and After Taking. Mirror and Advertiser. In the regions where no smoke boils out of the Binoke stack and no shrill whistle startles the solitude of the for ests, the people are beseeching in their requests for the project to be com menced. But afterwards, as is too often the case, the stereotype phrase “heartless corporation” is bandied about by unthinking people. Railroads one pound and five ounces and meas ures sis teen and a half Inches incir- Serencc. He has a quarter of an 5cm almost as large as the above. i s rumored that W. J. Northen -ill be tho president of the next Sen- !2r snd Dr. W. H. Felton, speaker of tie' next House,” says the Atlanta TL-ttl. Unless our contemporary be mi taken, this is the one instance “ which rumor has taken upon itself the role of prophecy. The Richmond county Democrats, outside of Augusta, held a mass meet ing at Brandon’s court ground, on Sat- “A... and nominated Mr. James M. Tlve as the country candidate for tho ilrislature. This thing of maintaining the peace between city and country, in nominations for office, requires no small amount of political diplomacy. Atlanta wants “a lively fourth of "ulv ” and to this end it wants the rail- Vds to give cheaper rates into the This illustrates a point: Rail roads are considered good institutions, jven in Atlanta, when some special ■»vor is to be obtained from them, alien the favor has been granted and enjoyed, however, they again become the same old “heartless monopolies”— fit only to be “regulated,” abused aud raided" on, by damage-hunters and other anti-railroad patriots. People that spend half of their time in abusing railroads ought to be ashamed to spend the balance of it in begging them for favors. A Call Worth Hooding. Mirror ond Advertiser. The press, generally, calls for some legislation in regard to the Railroad Commission, and the Legislature should regard the call. 8lck at Both Ends. South Georgia Clarion, Last week we reported cotton as hav ing the soreshin. Tho wet and cool weather has now made it sick at tho other end. Its head is lonsy. Indeed It Would. Morning Mows. Wouldn’t it be rare fun to see Justice Sam Hall, of the Supreme Court of Georgia, take Senator Ingalls by the nape of the neck and skin him—rhe torically speaking? it in another jmduly hut the same rights and protection should he guaranteed them, as are enjoyed by other copora- tions aud business enterprises. Failure of tho Melon Cron. Quitman Free-Press. There is no longer room to doubt that the melon crop in this section, and in fact throughout the State, is a partial failure. Three weeks ago the prospect for a large crop was most t-s— The vines were loaded with finely Bliaped fruit and looked green and flourishing. Then came the rains accompanied by cool nights which have lasted until this writing, and the result is that all theyoun] crop has shrunk up or rotted am dropped off. There is literally no young crop and tbe first crop is exceed ingly scant. Growers are agreed in this section that not more than half a crop will be made. There is no danger that any market east, west, north of south, will be glutted this season with Georgia melons, and we do not think any one need tear getting a fair price for a good load of melons up to the middle of July, Last year we shipped from Quitman five hundred car loads of melons. We doubt if one hundred and fifty car loads are shipped this season. JUDCE FIELD. Why He Is Not Popular With Hoodlum Democrats. Hon. H. D. Money In Washington Post. Mr. Money said he did not believe that the resolution and instructions of the Cal ifornia convention would detract from Judge field's availability as a candidate. As Judge Field says, he is unpopular with the radical element imCnlltornia, and by reason of judicial decisions that were good and sound, but did not suit the interests or temper of that element. His decision in favor of the holders of the Mexican grants offended many settlers; his decis ion in the Chinese cases was distateful; his decision in tbe railroad tax cases, that the property of railroads should be taxed as other property, incensed the anti-raii- road people. No man has said, or can sav, that he has ever been Improperly in fluenced in bis high office, and in fact, ids capacity and character are admittedly commanding and irreproachable. It would bo unnatural for a convention, entertaining the extreme views expressed in the newspaper summary of the Stock- ton platform, to Indorse Judge Field, whose line of decisions mark him as the champion of law, order, the rights of per- sons and the righta of property. It cannot be expected that any man who may be nominated by the Democratic National Convention will stand upon the Stockton platform, or that he could he elected if he should stand on it. The doubtful States of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut. Massachusetts and New Hampshire would hardly he expected to help destroy the na tional banking system, or to approve the extreme legislation proposed by the Cali fornia Legislature nt its extra session, and which the Stockton convention indorsed. These same decisions, so unpopular In California, commend Judge Field to the conservative people of California and of the Union, and mostatrongly in the doubt ful States. The late dissenting opinion of Judge Field in the legal tender case has wonder fully strengthened him in the respect and confidence of conservative people, who still reverence the Constitution and regard him as its sole defender on the benci BLOODY BILL, THE TERROR. The Present Melon Crop. Morning News. Tlio crop throughout tho State is light, and, so far as can be learned, is a partial failure, the shipments falling greatly below those of last year. The indications are that the markets will avoid anything like a glut, and no trouble will be experienced in that di rection. The acreage was smaller at were the start than last year, hut it was ex pected that there would be a mnch larger yield. The heavy rains and cool weather, however, damaged the crops so tlmt it is generally estimated that it will not exceed two-thirds of what was expected. The pilces thus far have been satisfactory to growers, good mel ons selling for $350 to $450 per car load in the market. With the facilities which the railroads have provided for moving the crop, it is predicted that if it does not cause the average price to he maintained, melon culture will be at an end in Georgia. the SnpremeCourt. They recognize the fact that lie is the only Judge who believes in the doctrine of Jefferson, and at all points has combatted the centralizing ten dencies of his colleagues, who follow after Hamilton. The fact that he has never yielded to power or to popular clamor, ir resistibly commends him to the judgment of thoughtful men. “I think I have good authority in both parties," continued Mr. Money, “for say. fng that, if nominated. Judge Field will rally the conservative forces, Democratic and Republican, and will carry the Paci fic States if anybody can, and that he is stronger there than any Democrat who can be named; but the fact is, that it seems generally conceded that Blaine can carry California against any Democrat. The action of the Democratic party has lost that State, auu there Is uo reason why we should select a candidate with any ref erence to his vote.

Bee enlturo is becoming an industry of no mean proportions among the farmers of Spalding county. Quite a number have turned their attention in that direction, keep the best varie ties and make considerable money on them. The Problem of the City Negro. Morning News.

Thieves and burglars have novel as well as dishonest ways which they call into uso when playing for somebody’s hard earnings. The first thing a burg lar thinks of after finding a victim is a scheme to direct suspicion away from him. On Sunday night one of these schemes was detected on Luckie street. Near the comer of Luckie and Spring streets, Mr. Saloshin, the broker, re sides. Sunday night a thict attempted to entor his residence, but did not suc ceed. He then went to the next house and succeeded in crawling into a win dow. The room was occupied by a young lady, and ns the burglar touched the floor, she awoke and asked who it was. Seeing his game up, the burglar sprang through the window. The young lady jumped up and started tor tho front of the residence to awaken some one, but as she reached tho front door something prompted her to open it. As she dia so she saw a man run through the front gate and spring into a hack which was standing near the pavement. Site felt certain the man was tho burglar, and aa tbe hack started off she called to the driver telling him to stop, but the driver only laid whip to his horse and soon dis- appeared. potent against Jul Stockton convention will injure him else where, or in fact, will not distinguish him as the candidate needed to carry the doubt ful Statss. where men believe in the reign of law, the blessing of order, the sanctity of contracts, and the righta ot persons and °'" P A r . 0P fu%’ Field had written to his friends in California that he was not a can- didate, and as be did not expect tbe vote of that State, he was not then disappoint-, ed bv the failure to get it.” ‘ “Not in the least.

With a quiet 6wagger aud many horrible oaths he advanced to the bar and said: “How’s biz ter-day, Toddvman?” “Dull, Bill, dull. Can’t you help me out?” “Of co’se lean—an’ will,” answer ed the Terror. Turning, ho called out to the loafers scattered about the room: “Como up hyer, come up, yer d d votes! an* treat yo’se’fs, ah’ mo, too, at'yo’ own expense. That’s right,” lie continued, as the ten or twelve per- | 1 sprang nimbly from :hes and smilingly ex pressed their willingness to accept any invitation, however worded, tho said terror might extend. “Hump ’cr ’long, , an’ in a hurry,” lie growled, savagely, as ho noted one solitary exception to the unanimity of the acceptances, “or by the crook of my elbow I’ll hurt yer; hurt yer bad.” The single exception, however, qui etly retained his seat, and neither by gesture nor speech did lie show the slightest consciousness of the presence and the language of the most famous or infamous desperado and dreaded, devil that had ever {Tightened a West ern sheriff into temporary civility. Great was our Terror’s amazement and greater his wrath when ho be came convinced that it was actually the intention of the rash stranger to ig nore him and his mandatory invita tion. With huge, self-acting revolver in hand, he started toward him. As he approached, the silent unknon uncoiled his long legs, and extended himself gradually upward and upward, until at last he presented to our astonished vision the towering form of the tallest and thinnest mortal we had ever scerj When within three or fonr feet the Terror paused and said: “1 gives yer tu understan’ I’m Bloody Bill, the terror of sherruls an’ the pattern saint ol undertakers. D’yer hear me?” ■ “Oh, yes; I’s not deaf,” was the re ply, in a cool, steady voice. "An I’m the favorite of hell an’ the rival of deth an’ docktors,” continued the desperado. “First rate record that,” was the re ply. “I’m a jumping jumbo—am the very fe’tber that broke the camel’s back— I’m a Texas steer stampeded—I’m a Camel straight from Arkinsaw—an’ ycrT look out fur I’m goin’ ter shoot!” Simultaneously with the elevation of the revolver tho stranger’s foot flew forward and upward, the hall meant for his heart crashingjharmlesslv through the roof—and then with a rapidity of movement that gave to his russet bro- gan tho appearance of a chunk of lightning in a mighty hurry, ho kicked Bloody Bill under the chin, behind the ear, in the stomach, in the back, on the chin, with first one foot and then the other, and so effectually, too, that the astonished ami thoroughly shocked ■■■■■■■* ssTble to single one of the half dozen weapons attached to his bolt. But the terror was really brave, and he struggled pluckily to uphold and preserve the sanguinary reputation so dear and profitable to lum, until his slim and supple antagonist finally terminated the fight bv a double-footed kick that stretched Bloody Bill prone and breath' less upon tha floor. When restored to consciousness he approached the great unknown and "Fur de last’—but, fust, what shall I call yer? Gener’l—book—Presi dent?” • • “Plain mister,” said the other. “What!

"All right,” said the gentleman from the Comstock. “Then I’ll subscribe for him. Here’s $100 from the Sunset State,” and he durnpod the gold into the already heavily weighted bat, just as Die whistle blew and the collector started for the door. “Who did you 4 say that money was al! for?” shouted several, as the train slowlv pulled out. “U'hat for? Why, for beer!" cried the man with the hat, and at the same moment about a dozen more ojd bums and tramps crawled out from under a fiat car, and executed a wild scalp dance of joy as the train disappeared around the curve.

After varied fortunes, in 1840 Commodore Garrison killed a well-known Mississippian in a tight, shooting liim in the head just in time to save his own life. The family ble of tho man he killed was a very and powerful one at that time, and while Garrison did what he did clearly in self-defence, vet he certainly would have been killed by some of the dead man’s brothers if he continued to run on the river. He therefore concluded to leave the South, and the California gold excitement breaking out at that time, ho went out there, bis clerk, Ralston, following him. As might be expected, Garrison soon beesmo very rich, and established the firm of Gar rison, Frctx & Ralston. After making an immense fortune he came East to New York, leaving Ralston one of the leading financiers of that section. His life, adventures, and sad death are too wall remembered to need further men tion. probable that he could hare attained such a pace in running s shorter distance nor hava maintained it for s ran of say greater length. When a man covers 100 yards in ten seconds he Is going st tbs rate o! « mile in 2 mlnntes and 90 seconds; while 'AM yards in 0:22 2 6 is one and one- fifth seconds slower than s mile in 3 min utes. Averaging stl the remarkable per formances spoken of, it is sate to say that the limit ot human speed stthe present time It at ths rate of a mile In 3 minntea at a distance not over an eighth of smile. The fact that experts think that 23) yards will be run before long la 0:22 does not alter this rate. It is sufficiently remarks- imtt i'^re.ls a larking minor that Col. J. P-Latill, of Savannah, will a xept the ANaw Spanish Bull-Flahtor. London Standard. None of the great public questions affecting Spain hat caused to much ex citement aa a bull-fight, which took place in the capital to-aay. There was such an extraordinary competition for tickets that a riot was nearly caused, and the presence of several hundred bone and foot police was required to preserve order. About 10,000 persona of all ranks be sieged the doors, some of them remain ing all lost night stthe approaches to the bullring, where tickets realized teL lous prices. The eagerness to gain admission was occasioned by the ap nearance of a new bull fighter, wt is said to surpass all the most famous heroes of the bull ring since the days of El Tato and Cachares. Several ar rests had to be made daring the rush at thp doors. Th* Color Lins In th* Brttlah Xew York World. The color lino aoemi to baro eionpod out fas England.

CLEVELAND. Hon. Bradler J. Johnson-lntervlew In Baltimore Dap Mr. Bayard illustrated in his whole life every principle of government which the statesmen and the patriots of the country have advocated and in sisted. I hare no fear of the red shirt issue in his Dover speech. Every man controlled by the bate of the war will vote for Blame and Logon anyhow, if wo nominated Sherman orGrant. All that class will vote against us In any event. The fact of his being from a small State is in bis favor for election. It may be against him for nomination. But if nominated, he will have no faction in hia State with which he has been iden tified, and will receive the solid sup port of the party in the great States. He con consolidate the Democracy bet ter in New York than Cleveland, be cause Cleveland has of necessity an tagonized many leading politlciuu in his ovra State. In the straggle be tween factions there he has unavoida bly dissatisfied some of them. There fore, Bayard is stronger In New York titan Cleveland. He is as strong in Connecticut and New Jersey. There will be the battle-ground. Sugnr Cratls. New York commercial Bulletin.

One of the most singular traits of our common humanity is the fact that no matter how arcticolly indifferent the citizen of a particular locality may be to his neighbors while at home,* he no sooner becomes a traveler than his lo cal pride sticks out like the peg on hat rack, and at a minute’s notice. The other morning while the east- bound overland was stopping at Coun cil Bluffs, a man suddenly chmbed into one of tho Pullman cars and exclaimed in an anxious voice: “Is there a Southern man aboard? 1 “There is, ssh. From Nothe Cnrli- ny, sah!” responded a gentleman at tired in ablack suit,velvet vest and leg boots, those ante-bellum land-marks of the sunny Sonth. “Then I appeal to you to aid a case of real distress.” “I give a dollar my self,” and he dropped a dollar into his own hat. “I’m from Florida, sah,” said a thin man farther along, “and I make »2.” “If there Is anybody here from Wis consin,” said a stout-look’“ - ” in jeans, “suppose we sul apiece.” “It’s a go!” shouted a fellow-citizen to the last speaker, pulling out his pocket-book. “New York says $5,” snapped out a stylish looking young fellow, flipping a gold piece down the aisle. “80 does Massachusetts.” coolly chimed in s Boston man, dropping a greenback into the delighted hat. "Gentlemen,” quietly onnoanced a solid-looking passenger, “the Keystone State pities the starving family, or whatever it is, just 910,” and he count ed out the coin. “Illinois goes that one better,” and a traveler with a “wheat futures” look fished oat three fires. “Just pass thtojttp^ploase/’juld a 8t.
