The Madisonian has taken on new habitoents. The Blackburns are S ressmg it to the frontsurely and stead- y. The Atlanta Capitol in tho hands of Col. I. W. Avery has proved itself bright, newsy and acceptable. It seems to breathe easily, and probably meanB to stay. All over the State the glad cries of gratitude arise from editorial sanctums. The abnormal watermelon, the monster beet, and the too previous sweet potato are licginnlng to subsidise the press. Oar Jim is still narsing his disabled foot, and is unable to work. This will account for shortness of reading matter this week. One man is now editor, printer, devil, and everything else.— Uartuell Sun. Our pointer puppy was considerably frightened yesterday morning at a la dy’s foot. He perhaps thought it a dangerous instrument. It may be for him, but we didn’t fear it much, as our present status attests.—Sylvania Tele phone. We are under lnsting obligations to Mrs. G. W.

A curiosity in the shape of a large hen egg was' handed us the Other day by Mr. J. J. bhearouse. In circumfer ence it measured inches and 7J. inches around from the point, and weighed a little over 4 ounces. Has any other county in the State got heus that can beat this?—Clayton Chronicle. Master Luther, son of Mr. C. A. Bell, has presented us with a curiosity in the way of nn egg. It is little more than half as large as an ordinary egg, and in shape strongly resembles an Early Rose potato. Wo Intend to place it under a hen nnd seo if it will not hatch another dude chicken.—Sumter Republican. On Friday last Master Johnny Bhearouse entered our office with a large watermelon, which ho modestly informed us was a present from his obliging father, Mr*'John E. Bhearouse. Some of the boys in the office wanted to samplo it right away, but the motion to savo ft till Sunday carrying the day, their palates wero not gratified till thenExchange. Harry Phinitty ought, by all means, to enter journalism. We remember on effort of bis in reporting for the col lege paper at Athens tho speeches of sundry Sophomores, that would have been creditable to anyone. No boy without the newspaper instinct could liavo written it. But Mr. I’hlnisy will make a mistake, possessing such ad vantages as ho does, if Le fails to be gin his career in a large city. Many country editors have risen to promi nence, but money and talent thrive best in large communities. Farms, Orchards, and the Ssasons. Country people aro busy canning fruits. Fine rain at Clayton on Tuesday.— Chronicle. Stewart county farmers are about out of the grass. Melons sold tor twenty-five cents per dozen at tjaitman lost week. Jupiter seems to have gotten the range of old mother earth this season Ills liolts strike often. City editors stand abuse much better since they have to encounter the com petition of the baseball umpires. The fanners wero a little down in the mouth last week during those dry, windy days, but light showers the lost of tho week set them up again. ^.The gardens are as lino as were ever seen in this section. They are a great help to our people. —Our Bermuda patches are looking splendidly.—Con yers Farmer. Mr. F. SI. Gann laid on our table the other day some snap beans, two of which would make a mess for an ordi nary family—figuratively speaking.— Datlat -V, i Era. The sea-'ms for the past week have > een all that could lie desired. If the husbandman had been permitted to contiol the valves, he could not bare made better schedule time.

Will Bates re ports a field of cotton that will average thirty squares to the stalk. That’s what Will says.—Wrightsrille Recorder. Tho Weekly Sentinel, a colored peo ple’s organ at Augusta, intimates that the reason why negro labor la unrelia ble, la because the employer wants the hired man to work for nothing and then come out in debt to the planter in the end. The first grapes have been brought to town from Judge Stewart's vine yard. The first load of home raised watermelons was brought in by Mr. R W. Hale this morning. They weighed from 25 pounds up to 40.— Griffin Sun. Upland corn, planted the last of March and first of April, is now in silk and tassel, and is about safe from a drouth through July. Cotton planted early iB growing off well, and bids fair to make a flue yield. The late plant ing la not doing so well.—Jackson Her ald. The heaviest rain of the summer fell on Tuesday afternoon For a short while it came down in perfect torrents and filled the sewers and gutters to overflowing. In tho residence portion of the dtv the sidewalks were washed to a considerable extent.—Sumpter Re publican. Don’t think we ever knew com to grow so tall. If the stalks continue to trow in height some of our farmers will lave to use step-ladders to pull fodder. James W. Jones has a field of cotton that be will put against any field in the county. It will average about as high SB a man’s waist. Every fanner in the South ought to have a grove of pecan trees. Read the article in this issue headed “Money in Pecan Culture.”— Hartwell Sun. Up to the present the crop reports generally from the county are reason ably favorable. A few localities have been without rain for ten days and these are needing a good shower. From some points excellent com prospects aro reported while tho cotton is said to be growing finely and fruiting. Favorable seasons for two weeks longer will insure a fairyield of corn.—Monroe Advertiser. Stock law is growing more popular even - day where it has been adopted. We know many farmers who were vio lently opposed to the law when it was voted on in this district but when it was voted on in this district but who are strong supporters of it new. “The sun do move. Mr. W. H. Nally, of Douglass county, made 119, 1 ..' bushels of oats on an acre of ground, this year. The total cost of fertilizing, planting and harvesting was $1—20. Col. W. Mattox, in his speech at the barbecue in Elberton, stated that in Ruckersville district, where the stock law was adopted in 18S2, according to the tax digest of 1883, tho stock valua tion had Increased $450 over wbst it was in 1882, nnd in 1884 the Increase In value was $1,000 over 1883, and he would venture to say 1885 would double Inst year. In the other districts where the stock law did not prevail, for the same period there lias been a decrease in value of stock of $400 to $1,000. In the recent election in Ruckersville dis trict there was only one vote cast against tlie stock law.—Hartwell Sun. The peach crop will uot turn out an extensive yield alter all the predictions to the contrary. Mr. J. J. Brooks says that he lias ail apple tree upon which a limb only five inches long lias 22 apples, and that on an eight- inch limb last year he foand 32 ap ples, each of them as large as a cup. The tree yielded twelvo bushels of ap pies. The fickle clouds have given us the go-by for s week or ten days and the want of rain Is felt in every section. If this prospect for s uronth is contin ued mncli longer tho crops will be cat off gre itly. As everybody is now pret ty well oat of tbe grass they aro get ting tired of watching the clouds roll by.—Lumpkin Independent. A few days ago we received a stalk of cotton from Mr. 8. K.

We learn that he has 200 or 300 acres, of which this atalk fa about a fair aver age, much ot it better some of it not quite ao good. Tula la flue cotton, but Mr. W. J. Hatcher sends us this (Fri day) morning, by Mr. Hchwarzweiaa. a limb or two, taken from a 100 acre field, loaded with bolls nearly or S uite grown, and which will open by te lOtb of August. Much of the cot ton crop of tho county is extra fine, and If the prospect* hold out a large yield will he the result. Of course, there are some very poor crops in tho county—some people would not liave a good crop If it were given them, but whenever the crop has been worked it is good.—Waynetboro True Citizen. Wheat and oats are now being threshed in s hurry. Messrs. R. F. & J. P. Miller bava lieen out two weeks and hare threshed over 2,500 bushels in that time. Messrs. George Spence and Stovall have threshed about the same amount. Wheat tolerably good: oats turning out well. The com and cotton crop is now looking very well everywhere. It has been well cul tivated. Gardens were never finer. Lightning struck a tree hut a short distance from our office Wednesday on the Mandeville branch. The recent showers have been accompanied by great deal of electricity. Mr. E. G Kramer hat cat this year off of a quar ter of an acre of bottom land 5,000 K nuds of Herd’s grass.

In the big railroad cut hack of Mr. Feagins, at a depth of twenty-five feet, a stratum of loose nodular boulders was found; the rocks varying in size from that of a cocoanut to a mass ns large ns a fifty pound watermelon. These rocks are irregularly spncrical in shape, of a grayish brown color, and have a hollow in the centre whicli is filled with a heavy, finely granulated, dark powder, like emery intermixed with shining particles of crystals. It also lias the appearance of oxide ot sil ver, is very heavy and has a strong sulphurous odor. Under a strong magnifying lens the powder resembles crushed quartz mixed with inetalic crystals of a decided argenteous lustre, —Lumpkin Independent. Still n Demand for the Ntzro. The cotton planters will have to use tlie old fashioned ten fingered cotton S icker again this fall. Neither Mr. [aeon nor any of his rivals have been able to so far perfect a machine as to put it oil tbe market.

He got out, in tending to come here the trains carri ed him below to Kingston. lie got on again attempting to reach here, but was carried back by here up to ltesac- ca. He finally landed here with two jags and three bottles from Calhoun,and was again locked up, but when bis term expired, like the politician, he refused to go and now lives in tbe calaboose. The mayor and council do not know what to do. The door of the calaboose he leaves open, burning a small lamp. Mr. William Bibb, in earlier life a resident of the old Palmetto State, but for the past fifteen years a resident of this State, died on July 0th at the resi dence of his children near here at the old age of 89.

Lamar's Mill, July 11.—Frank Williams, a negro man living on the Tom Gray plantation, near this place, in Taylor county, died yesterday. Hia death is believed to be tlie result of voison, administered by hia claim, Jlark Montgomery. Tne two have been fn the employ ot Mr. G. T. Hollo man, in this county, ail tbe year, leav ing their families in Taylor on tlie Gray farm. They profi-xaed to he devoted members of the church and were faat friends, eating and living in the same shanty until four or five weeks ago, when they bad a little set to with hoc-handies, since when matters have not nin smoothly between the two. The supposition is that Clark placed till; contents of a box of Rough on Rats in Frank’s bag of meal, as about a dozen of Frank’s neighbors borrowed some of the meal and were affected in the same manner as he, but have re covered. Clark, it is rumored, lias skipped. THE TRIPPLl TRAOEOY. Further Particulars ol the Horrible Affair at Chaunosi.

About four weeks ago he won one of Dodge county's fairest daughters. He was one of A. Peacock A Co.'s woodsmen. Mr. Obaries Thompson has been here near two years employed as bookkeper, which position he filled with much credit to himself. Both were from near the same part of North Carolina, and I don’t think their beat friends can locate any cense tor their being at van ance. For several months they did not apeak to each other.

The man who gets bit twice by the eune ,i c i, b-t-.-r e.lij.teJ to that kiml ot bust " ny ot ventlon In Atlanta, Editors Telegraph and Messenger: Recent ly a circular was iuued by tbe “Liquor Dealers' Protective Association,” whose headquarters are at Savannah, calling for a convention to meet at Atlanta uezt Tues day. Tbe avowed object of tbs conven tion 1* “to take Into consideration the best meins of protecting their basinets from Injurious legislation which will be attempt ed against U at the present session of the Legislature.” Several things In connection with thii called' convention are very significant. First, we note tbe time and place of meeting, viz: In Atlanta at tbe very Ume when the local option bill will ba nmlcr discussion, preparatory to the final vote upon its passage by the lower boose. Why should all tbe forces of liquordom be gatnered at AUanta at this particular Ume? We are told lo "protect their butlncs from injurious Irgiilatlou.’’ What Injurious legislation la atlsmpled? Tbe passage of a general local option lnw, which will give to each county, munici pality, etc., the privilege ol deciding whether or not the liquor tralfio shell be permitted In its bounds. What new doc trine is involved in local option? None wbaiever. It la simply tbe old democratic principle of the right of tbe majority fn all questions which concern themselves with •odal order and the general weal. It la the same principle which underlies all local government, and is applied in every other matter without question. It wonld not be a question at this Uma in regard to whisky, were not 10 much money involved in the traffic, and so many intareat>,pnrely selfish and personal, concerned. Thebtate wonld not heel tits to quaranUne or wholly suppress a com merce which brought, or was likely to bring, yellow fever, cholera, or any other p'sgue, even though th* suppression might ruin tbe selfish interests and pur suits of those who were engsged in tbe business. Protect! in to the people Is the highest prerogative known to Legislatures, whether State, national or local It needs no argument to show tost inch protection from liquor is needed. All prohibitory, license, or other restricUve laws beer evidence that soma sort of protection fa everywhere deemed essential. What then la the burden of this op position to local optloo? It cannot be that it is contrary to tbe general spirit of democraUo legislation everywhere else aopCkl. The true meaning is, that ava rice and appetite are at tbe Bottom. Per sonal Interest is falsely named "personal liberty." Bnt why the convention now at Atlanta? Plainly tor tne purpose of bringing an un due pressure to bear upon tbe Lrgialmture at tnla critical juncture. Wby baa not the liquor ring embodied Its demands and called upon acme member of the L-glila tore friendly to it to present its claims to tbs body? It is manifest that th* reason that penonal pressure ia to be brought . bear upon each representative, and thereby compel a viewing to the de mands of liquor dealer! That money will be used we need not question. Tbat threats and paranaalons will be freely employed all know too well Those who have had to Ogbt the llqoor power In local contests know toll well what the pow- of money In liquor hands means. Ltqnor dees not submit its claims to the cold, dry light of reason and common sense. Its record la too terrible to stand before the bar of publle opinion. Iu whole aim ia In every manner possible to prevent an expression ot that opinion and an execution of the people's unbiased will. Nothing else can be the meaning ol this opposition to local option. Last winter, when it was evident tbat tba local option bill was about to become it law, baring already passed the Senate by more than a two-thirds vote, and being on the point of passing the House, the opposition sought by filibustering to stave off the vote un til tbs end of tbe session, or until so many ol tba members bad already left for home, tbat tba requisite majority could not be obtained. Out ot tbe filibusters, a man wbo had obtained his seat by the lowest means, said that he knew tba peo ple wanted local option, but that ha wu not willing that they ahould have l». This man, be it remembered, buforjeara been playing the Independent, running against ha party nominees and appealing to tba low passions and race prejudices of tba ne groea for bis election. Buch an exhibition of plooa hypocrisy wu hardly ever seenon tba floor of a legislative body as tbat to tba Georgia Leglelature cl tut December, when two or three of theta canliog filibus ters, men never known at home for piety, or for ztal in behalf of tbe clutch, were parading the floor of tbe legislative ball, shouting tbat It waa not local option, bat the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, that saved men. Wen grown irey In tbe service of tbe Lord were free y denounced a* fanatics and hypocrites hy these wldsky apostles, wbo bad sudden ly clad themselves to tbe vestments of tbe church. Theta mlsrspreaentatlves do not propose to allow the people to expreai an opinion at tbe polls upon a subject which concerns them more intimately than any otner which baa ever been before them I What ia to be tbooghl of such democracy si this ? These self-chosen teecbert assume to pre vent the people of Georgia from express tng tbelr own withes In regard to the ‘ quor traffic. ft may at well now be said to tbe Legis lators tbat If It chooses to disregard tba voice of the people demanding tbe right todcrtermlne the liquor question for themselves, tbet It, like Othello, will soon find its occupation gone. Georgia has long been loyal to Democratic principles, hut her people do not propose to ba blnffed by a LrgMalure, even II tba whole power of Uta whisky ring Ilea behind 1L The Dam ocratic party could find no attrer way u destruction than to refute to the peopli the Democratic right of deciding for them selves as to the liquor traffic. Let this Legislature deny tbe demand of tbe people, and the (democratic party will -'atepdown and out’’ to two years more. Independ ent Prohibitionists will everywhere oa In the field, and old-Ume Democracy, Ilka p^iahaem, will b# left to look to lis own bonee. Tba doings of the Legls atnre and of the Liquor Dealers' Association fur tba next lew days will be watched with tba keenest interest.

Tbs committee rejected the bid, and went to work In ita own way. By Uey 1, 1881, ft had spent $110,000, end the ped ate! was no more than fairly under way, Then Mr. McGaw, engineer of th* Girard avenue bridge at Philadelphia, offered complete tha structure according to the plans of the architect, tor $132,000. This bid alto was rejected. On tbe 13thof Jane Mr. Kvsrta announced tbat tba committee had received 1211,000 for tbe pedestal.
