Tlie Boston Herald thinks it is only
a question of a few years, and perhaps
but a few mouths, before the Immigra
tion Issue will be definitely taken up
by some political organization. It is
but an enlargement of the Chinese
immigration question. It took some
time for that issue to grow’ into na
tional magnitude, but it attained that
size after awhile, and became, so far
a* |M>liticftl parties were concerned,
irresistible. Already, In the home of
exclusion—the State of California—a
party has been formed having for its
platform tlie unconditional repeal of
the naturalization laws and the modi
fication ot the laws permitting and
encouraging immigration and those
which permit of the ow neisldp of real
estate by aliens. This is but a revival
of the Knownothing party. But we
should not be In the least surprised to
find among the members of such an
organization thow or tlie sons of those
against whom a generation ago the
Knownothing doctrine was preached
At that time it was opposition to Irish
immigration, but it w’ould not be diffi
cult now to find among our Irish-
Americans quite a number who be
lieved that tlie time had come to pass
laws which would prevent tlie com
ing to this country of Italians, Hun
garians and Poles.

gave him credit for when he was

methods and honesty of purpose com
mend him even to Ids enemies, and
his patriotism makes .him a President

Governor Gordon didu’t dodge tin*
question as to betterments miring “tlie
memorable campaign of last summer,”
lie certainly dodges it now. It Is a
complete dodge, and really leaves the
Governor iu a more conspicuous light,
iu the attitude of a dodger, thau the
paragraph of tlie New** and Adver
tiser to which his “attention was
called” by the Constitution placed him.
Tlie Governor idiucs out now. as he
did last summer, aud boldly announces
his opposition to the sale of the State
road. So far so good; tlie News and
Advkrtiskk’s memory wasn’t at fault
there. But how about paying the les
sees for betterments? If thcGovernor
didn’t intend to say liow he stands ou
the question, or how* lie stood last
summer, there was no necessity for
his taking any notice of w’hat the
News and Advertiser stated from
its “memory” of the debates had dur
ing the campaign upon the question
now under consideration. The same
official “dignity” that stooped to assert
itself upon one part of the question—
tlie sale of the road—wouldn’t have
suffered much by intimating where or
how it stood witli reference to the bal
ance of if, which is now the most im
portant feature involved, viz.: the
betterments. As was the ease
with the ambitious but uiireflect
ing fellow who undertook to jump
across a well in two jumps, the
Governor’s first jump in trying to
show that lie didn’t dodge, doesn’t
dodge and will not dodge. Is Ids last.
The second jump would have laude-1
him on the liettermeubs hut for a iuo>t
obvious reason lie didut make it, and
as for (lodging he lound himself where
be eotihlu’t.
But the News and Advertiser will
endeavor to refresh its memory ami
thu Governor’s, too, about lih dodging
tills question of betterments, during
the campaign of last yeqr. and
if its memory is found, to lie ut
fault it will cav so. But suppiHe
we arc shown that the Governor
“made no reply to the charge of his
opiioneiit that he wohhl favor a hill
lookim* to thu payment for the l«tter-
meiits, * or word to that effect, dur
ing tlie campaign^ will tlie Governor
and the Constitution ackuowiedgt that
the former “dodged?”
The Baltimore Herald’s story of the
attempted assassination of the lion,
Jefferson Davis while lie was Presi
dent of the Confederate States lui*
created Mime stir among putdh* men,
Ttie story is generally regarded as a
mere newspaper fabrication without
any foundation atall. The H«m. Roger
A. Pryor, who was a member of the
(.’onfederate Congress, hut now a
prominent niemlier of the New York
Bir, denounces the whole story as ri
di *ulotis ou its face. He further says:
“Tlie narrative does not sound like
Mr. Davis, lie was not a boastful
mail, and there Is a tone of braggado
cio in it tliat Is not characteristic of
him. An attempt to assassinate the
President of the Confederacy would
have been heard of and would have
shocked tlie whole Confederacy. My
belief is that tlie article Is a fabrica
tion or au iufinite exaggeration.” Ex-
Governor A. G. Curtin, of Pennsyl
vania, says: “There Is not one word
of truth In wliat is said to have been
uttered by Jefferson Davis about me.
I never par oned a desperado with
the understanding that he would as
sassinate Mr. Davis, and I had uot tlie
money personally and could not have
taken from the * Treasury the sum be
alleges to have been the reward, which
he states to have been $100,000.”
It is no disparagement to tlie tliri\-
ing little city «f Americas to place i«
in its true position, second iit .comtuei-
cial importancetn Albany, the iiHTroj*-
olis of Southwest Georgia.
As to tlie salary of postmasters, our
esteemed contemporary displays au
iugnoronce or sublime indifference us
to liow it is regulated. The through
mails are uot comdtlereJ iu determin
ing tlie sa.ary. The receipts of the
office Iu sale of >L‘Uups, box rent, etc.,
fix the amount.
As to tlie taxable property of Auleri-
cus, our information may be Incorrect,
but the tax books would settle the fact
beyond cavil. The N bws and Adver
tiser publ^bed tlie amount from tlie
city tax books of Albany to liie dol
lar.
As to railroads, Albany lias never
relied upon s railroad commission to
acquire railroad facilities, but exiietul
ed its energy aud motley iu buildiug
Hues of rnilw’xy to give her facilities
tliat have brought incomparable ad
vantages which she enjoys to-day,
Albany put over $100,(XX) In the rail
road from here to Thoinasville, Imilt
the soutwesteni from Albany to Sum
ter City, aud sold It iu sections to tin*
.Southwestern railroad company, aud
inaneuvred to secure tlie building of
tlie Bnutsw ick and tVestern and the
extension of the Southwestern railroad
to Blakely. With roads radiating t*
four points of the compos, two lines
to Georgia’s main sea|H»rt and one to
the growing port of Brunswick, and a
navigable stream, Dougherty county
felt no s|iecial need of the Colt.inbiH
Southern, and her people were not
united on the et.terprUe. Where is
there another county that would do
nate $25,000 similarly situated? The
subscription, too, was asked from both
Lee and Dougherty for reasons appar
ent to all.
The «Nie advantage which wr con
cede to Amerieus is in hanking capi
tal, but private capitalists have served

out tlie expense attached to the tna
chiuery of hank corporations. How
ever. wUlihi a short time Albany will
have its capital concentrated in hanks
w’hicli will betrer serve tlie puhlii
uses.
Albany’s advantages never appeared
iu a more favorable light than
they will during the approach
ing cotton season, when the
four lines of railroads ami the
steamboat will bring the fleecy into
our market; and when the tw*o coin
presses of the busy and bustling city
will have all the business that can la*
compressed into the months of tlie
cotton season. It will outstrip all its
rivals.^
Governor Ross, of Texas, has de
termined to put a stop to train robbery
at any cost. Besides the large reward
offered for the detection and arrest of
the robbers, he has made arrangements
with the various railroads, through
Commissioner Waldo, by which armed
men, regularly commissioned by the
State, are to be placed on all passen
ger trains liable to attack. Tlie Gov*
ernor has issued 300 commissions, or
enough to enable the roods to place
from five to ten armed men on each
ptMcoger train. If there should beau-
other aitempt aktrain tot»t*rv aim the
armed trainmen an* r ‘»rtunate enough
to kill or cripple u..y of the robbers
thereby leading to certain detection,
thev would receive the large reward

Georgia Public Schools.
The question ot securing more com
petent teachers for the pulilio schools
ill the counties of this Stale is one that
should engage tlie cnretnl considera
tion of the powers that be.
There are only a few mouths of the
year in which the puMie free school
fund is available as it is too litttle after
distributed to give a longer term.
However, a great deal can lie ae
complished within that limited, time if
the advantages are the h*st that can
Ik* procured under the circumstances.
The school conmiis-douers of every
eouuty should exercise the great
est po-sible care to secure the
must competeut teachers, aud such a
supervision ought to be exercised over
tlie school* os to insure a conscientious
discharge of the duties attached to the
responsible trust.
The press frequently gives publicity
to laudable incidents tliat show’ l:i
mentahle ignorance either on tlie part,
of teachers of public schools or uf a|
pliennts. These things show a failure
on the part of some commissioners to
raise the standard of attainments
necessary to fill the measure ot tlie re
quirements of tlie |Misitioii high
enough.
The last amusing incident comes to
u- through the Savannah News as in -

m’Iom'Is were examined. Thev pa-sed
creditably enough until some ques
tions we e asked atmui the td-tory «.|
Georgia. When asked who founded
the Stale only one answered correctly.
A young woman, w o seined to le
brighter than any of the other candi
dates. said that a lawyer told her the
•State was discovered and settled by a
mai named Yazoo.who was attirwanb;
bun’ed at tlie stake li.r fraud. This
examination was not conducted iu Sa
vannah. hut it was conducted within
•asy reach ol‘Savannah. The history
of Georgia ought to Ik* a leadii-g suls*
jeet taught ill the public school.- of the
State.
The truth 1* that half the money e -
|ieuded on tin* public State lice m-IiooI
is Mpiandercd by lieiug i-eles-dy used,
til this section, at lea-1, the chief ob
ject of die teacher is m earn his -atari
an-l the art of teaching is of — cmdaiy
consideration. Pupil-are a!lotved to
bile away their time and what little
they leani seems to incapacitate them

laftfed' In carrying her fiorribto design -into
effect. TIicm; considerations must be taken
into arcuunt in dealinx with an offende
the scale ot hanaaity a* this girt
illy is.
The hut sentence in' the above
touclir* ti|MHi what is perhaps the most
serious problem that stares tlie peop!
oftiinrioutliera States in die face to
day. How are we to deal with the
lower order of Negro criminals? The
woods are full or them, aud the visita
tion it pint litem of tlie extreme penal
ty of the law appears to be almost use
less in deterring others from commit
ting similar-crimes. They cannot, ol
course, be permitted to go scot-free
because of tlielr moral torpidity and
ignorance, and yet, as our Charleston
con temporary claims is the case with
this child murderer in Barnwell coun
ty, tiie law appears to fall In Its effect.
Tin- Negroes are naturally tlie
•mist i***provident race of peo
ple in tlie world, and - their in
difference to the consequences of their
ictiwift hi matters crimiual finds
paralb-l and perhaps a partial expla
nation in tlie want of foresight and the
utter wreck less ness chantrreistic ol
this race, as a rule, in their innocent
plea-ure-. Just as they will spend
mouth’- wages to go off on a day
cxcur-imi oil tlie railroad, or for
team lo drive in style to a “big rneet-
ing’* on Sunday, without any thought
of tlie privations they must encounter
until pay day conies roued again, so
those of evil disposition will not hesi
tate to gratify Lhe*pas*ion of. a mo
ment without giving a thought to
future consequences. They li\-e en
tirely iu the present, finding no warn
ing in tin* past, no terror in. the
future. Education does not seem to
chang“ tlielr peculiar disposition, fo:
those’of them who have grown up
sine.* the war and liave enjoyed more
or less educational advantages appear
to Is; even more profligate than tlieii
parent- who were reared as slaves.
What to do with the lower order ol
Negro criminals and liow to bring this
large cla-s «»f our population up to a
title appreciation of moral character,
and t>> hit pi ess them with the fact that
every crime has a penalty, constitute
the troublesome features of what tin*
statesmen of the country are pleased to
i*aII the. “Southern problem."

A whol6 memdne chest in your jiocket,
with one box ot Ayer’s Pills- As they
operate directly on the stomach ami
bowels, they indirectly affect every
other organ of the body. Wbcs tlie
stomach is out of order, the bead Is
affected, digestion fails, the blood be
comes impoverished, and you fall an
easy victim to any prevalent disease.
Miss M. E. Eoyle, of AVilkesbarre, Pa.,
puts the whole truth in a nutshell,
she says: “I use no other
than Ayer’s Pills. They are all that
any one needs, and jnst splendid to save
in doctors’ bills.**
A Physician
who lost his
at a bottle of Ayer's Fills, found
himself fully equipped.—J. Arrison,
31. D., of San Josfl, Cal., writes:
“ Some three years ago, by the merest
accident, I was forced, so to speak,
to prescribe Ayer’s Cathartic Fills for
several sick men among a party of engi
neers in the Sierra Nevada mountains,
my medicine chest having been lost in
crossing a mountain torrent. I was
surprised and delighted at the action of
the Pills, so mnch so, indeed, that I was
led to a further trial, of them, as well as
of year Cherry Pectoral and Sarsapa
rilla. I have nothing but praise to offer
in their favor.”
John 'W. Brown, 31. D., of Oceana,
W*. Va., writes: 41 1 prescribe Ayer’s Pills
lu my practice, and find them excellent.
I nrgn their general use in families.”
T. E. Hastings, M. D., of Baltimore,
Md., writes: 44 That Ayer’s Pills do con
trol and cure the complaints for which
they are designed, is as conclusively
proven to me as anything possibly can be.
They are the best cathartic and aperi
ent within the reach of the profession.”

I have again received a lot of those health preserving Refrigerators—no family
should be without one.
In order to make room for my fall stock, I will commence on July 4th, until
further notice, to sell my entire stock at greatly reduced prices. I have a
lot of Window Shades, all on best spring rollers, odds and ends, which
I am determined to close out. To secure bargains call early.
My Crockery Stock is now low. but I am anxious to reduce it still lower, in
order to be better enabled to lay in a larger and more varied stock for fall.
Therefore, I Invite the public, before buying, to inspect my bargains.
MY STOCK OF FFKNITTJRE
Is as complete as ever, but wishing to reduce tlie same, will offer for the next
sixty da vs nil at greatly reduced prices. The atteution of count) v
merchants especially. Is called to the line of my goods in
Clothing, Notions, eft*., whieh I want to closeout, a ml
will give bargains to met) who menu business.
