If a Northern editor wauts to solve the question, let him come South and study it at short range. Insane asylums are not always con ducted as though they were one of the products of the influences of Chris tianity, as Is verified by the Illinois affilr, which Is said to be an asylum, a place of safety and comfort for the unfortunates. Dr. A. B. Asa worth, a young phy sician of Atlanta, wooed a maiden ‘ whose heart he failed to impress, and to ; spite her, perhaps, suicided. He thus answered the question, “Is life worth living?” in the negative. It is a happy thing he could answer it only for himself. It Is said tha; there may be a row, yet, oyer the Samoan. affair. The Unitftp States insists on restor- V& U #a jjtfbo to power, while Germany wil* have none of him. These crack miiitia companies may yet have use for the discipline uuder which they are being trained. A poor Alabama barber languishes lu ddnuica vile, because he sent a chal lenge to a rival barber. The challenge was sent through the mall, and while the challenged party was arranging to accept, the sheriff heard of it and ar rested the beligerently inclined. The law makes it a felony to seud a chal lenge in Alabama, and there is every prospect that the irate barber will go tathe penitentiary. The Sparta Islimaelite delivers the foliowlug short sermon, which is to the point: “Bad behavior in church is an evidence neither of gentility nor of in telligence. It is, however, proof of a Went or self-respect and of common decency. Any fool may sit in the seat of the scorncr but it taxes an un common one to meet al! the demands of disgusting clownishness hi church during religious services.” ^BrntLAW Reid was given an audi ence by President Carnot, on Tuesday, at which the American Minister pre sented his credentials and made a little speech, expressing senti ments fitting the occasion. France and America were closely allied in the days of America’s struggle for inde pendence, and America can not bur hoid in grateful remembrance the Kindly aid the Freuch extended* our country. It does not come iu very good grace for the editor of a protection paper to attack . Scuator Colquitt, and charge him with being in combination with the Kepubl leans, when one of the lead ing protection editors of the South re cently said that the white protection ists would doubtless form an organiza tion among themselves, and would probably find home in the Re publican party. This utterance is credited Jo Col. A.. S. Colyar of the Nashville American, whose sentiments on the tariff are the same as all piotec- tion editors. The Chattahoochee Valley Exposi tion Company, at a recent meeting in Columbus, decided to hold Its second expositionJnjtl|al city In 1S90, begin ning October 24. The Company also phased the following resolution: “Re solved, That in view of the recent completion of the Buena Vista exten sion, and the assured early completion of the Columbus Southern Railroad that the exposition company shall hold on July 24th a grand jubilee celebra tion, and shall invite all the .people of tills section to visit our city ou this oc casion, which shall be the grandest gala day ever witnessed in Columbus.” Albany will go as one mau, if the Co lumbus. Southern is only finished by that time. opportunity to attack the representa tive of true Democratic principles -of Georgia. The Angusta Chronicle and Atlanta Constitution are tire high priests of protection in this State, and as Senator Colquitt is a bold and able exponent of tariff reform, he is made the object of their spite and misrepresentation. Senator Colquitt has ably aud openly opposed the Republicans in every purpose to rivet more securely the claim of unjust and uneven taxation upon the country, and his services in behalf of the people, are of such an appreciable character as to excite their liveliest feelings of gratitude. Every attack made upon him by the disgruntled protection sheets ot the country but strengthens the purpose of the people to stand more firmly by him. If the News and Advertiser re members correctly, It was urged as one of tire reasons why Mr. Grady should have been elected to the United States Senate, that be, as a protection Democrat, could get the ear of the Republican administration, and yet it is charged as treasonable in Senator Colquitt to do anything that might look towards shaping the Federal ap pointments in the State. Consistency is a jewel rarely found In possession of protectionists, save it be a consistent course to shape legislation so that the farmers are taxed to the end of enrich ing manufacturers. What could it profit Senator Col quitt, who has always opeuly opposed the Republican schemes and schemers, to enter into a secret alliance with so weak a contingent as the Georgia Re publicans? In the hard fought Presidential cam paign this friend of Georgia and Geor gians, bore the biunt of the battle, and shoulder to shoulder with Cleve land, contested every inch of ground in the defense of the constitutional rights of the people. He Is the uncom promising enemy of monopoly, and the Republican legislation which makes monopoly a possibility. It is therefore occasion for a renewal of the confidence, and for a strengthening of the love and gratitude the people bear such a faithful representative, whenever, - on such a trivial excuse, the protection papers of the State make an unwarrantable attack upon Senator Colquitt. ,T5SPT$ 1 * s 3* 8V i r country, look upon a telle of the revolutionary days, one htmdred-yeara ago, with an iiitereat akin to Tencratlon, from Its great age.

The way thatrecreaut husbands have of kllliug their wives and then killing themselves, is becoming alarmingly frequent. For three successive weeks a good wife has met death at the bauds of an infuriated husband, one each week, the husband in turn killing him self. Fiisi, the whole country was shocked at the horrible tragedy enacted in our own quiet little city, when Wil liam Gilmer slew his wife aud then sent a bullet crashing into his own brain. The week following this, a hus band committed a similar crime in Memphis, while the papers last week contained an accouut of the murder of Mrs. Sarah E. Allen at Washington, by her husband, who fell locked in her embrace with a bullet In his brain. In each case the dreadful tragedy was caused by the separation ot the parties, the wife refusing to live with tire husband. Tile question naturally arises is every husband whose wife refuses to live with him to follow this example? It seems that tills is the first idea sugges ted to the minds of these unfortunates, and it is to carried into execution be fore the passion has time to cool. Such a state ot affairs should not ex ist. When the wife is living quietly alone, unmolested by her husband, whom she has left, resignedly accepting the fate that unfortunate circumstances have thrown around her,6he is entitled to protection lrom the outrages of an infuriated husband. It is true that such outrages arc usu ally plauned secretly by the husband, who is so fiendish as to send an inno cent woman Into eternity, and the as sault is not anticipated, but recent ex periences lead us to believe that uo confidence can be placed in one who is offended by the separation of his wife and the women so unfortunate as to be placed iu tills position, should be on their guard. Governor Gordon’s Proclamation. Governor John B. Gordon preserves a a watchful care over the interest, digni ty,good order and peace of theState,and is ever on the alert to know and dis charge the duties of his office. Acts of lawlessness not only meet his quick con demnation,bnt he exhausts every rem edy in his power;to have the offend ers promptly brought to con- dlgu punishment. As soon as he returned from New York and learned of the White Cap outrages in Mitchell county, he very promptly and properly issued a proclamation, in which he offers a reward of $250 for the arrest and delivery to the sheriff of Mitchell county, the inceiidiaries who fired tire gin house of the Glausier brothers, also $100 for the apprehen sion, with proof to con vict,thosc engag ed In the cruel castigation of the men and women of the couuty who fell vic tims to the merciless hate of self-ap pointed regulators. In the determined effort of Governor Gordon to ferret out, punish and stop such outrages,, he calls for, and is en titled to the active co-operation of the good people of the State, especially of that region in which these recent shocking occurrences have happened. The News and Advertiser has al ready expressed tire, belief that the good people of Mitchell would leave no stone unturned in their effort to purge their county of the unenviable reputation which these lawless acts have given it abroad. Mitchell is one of the very best counties in the State, and her people are as peaceable, law- abiding citizens as can he found in the limits of any State iu the Union, and while with those who know these facts, an act or two of lawlessness does uot’ affect its general good character, yet with those remote from the scene, the exaggerated reports that have gone out are calculated to prejudice them against the whole county. Mitchell has one of the boldest and best sheriff's of any countv in the State, and there was uo necessity of the inducement of the reward offered In the proclamation to stimulate him to do bis duty, but it will likely interest others whose co operation with him will accomplish much in bringing the guilty to puuish- meut. seasons from now on will insure a fall and sufficient yield.

It enables an ordinary force of bands to keep well up with the growing crops, and what has been apparently lost In the small acreage of spring oats is more than regained in the amount of extra work saved. So, on the whole, the outlook is full of encouragement, Rad we confidently expect a good crop year. Welcome Home. The Albany Guards, the pet and pride of the Artesian City, returned Tuesday night, with all the pomp aud circumstance of victorious soldiery. They had borne off the second prize in the military contest at Macon, and had not disappointed tire expectations of their sweethearts, wives, mothers and friends. It is true Albany had indulged the hope that her gallant company would prove second best to none, but must be content, and lav the flattering unction to its soul, that the first prize would have been theirs had one command been distinctly heard, and that was a result of a con currence of circumstances, and no one’ fault. Albany's military acqnitted them selves not only handsomely upon the drill ground, but through their gen tlemanly deportment wou and retain ed the respect and admiration of the public. We can forgive them an error in tactic?, when we have so much to commend iu all thatconsti- tues the soldier and the man. Albany is not accustomed to coming out second best in such contests, for under Captain Ed, L. Wight the old Albany Guards bore oil three first prizes consecutively, but iu considera tion of the fact that this company had been organized hut a lew weeks, the boys made a most splendid record.

The News and Advertiser repro duced the charges brought by the At lanta Journal against tire lessees of the State road, that they were running it down to a condition that was incon sistent with the safe transaction of business. This charge brought out communication to tire Atlanta Consti tution signed “Lex,” which reflected upon Mr. Hoke Smith as an attorney, charging him with a violation of pro fessional ethics, in that lie used the columns of the Atlanta Journal, which he controlled, to excite a popular prejudice against railroads against which he had suits for damages pend ing before the courts, The correspondence published in yesterday’s Constitution, entirely ex* honerates Mr. Hoke Smith, and proves the charge to have been utterly with out foundation. In the first place, the charge against the lessees, and the statements as to the^condition ot the state road, were made by the authori ty of Mr. Josiah Carter, managing ed itor, and without the knowledge or consent of Mr. Smith. In the second place, the very pointed correspondence between -Mr. Smith and Mr. Evan P. Howell discovered the fact that Mr. Howell acted under a misapprehen sion when he published tire communi cation, and so soon a3 this was made to appear he properly withdrew the publication of the offensive article, and expressed regrets for the charge it contained.

Thursday morniug a little boy was seen on Broad street with a nest of young mocking birds. They had been rudely taken from their mother; they were so young they were featherless, and the way in which they opened their mouths, appealing in their bird like way for something to eat, demon strated how cruel it is to take them from their projecting parent. The little l»oy who robbed the ne-t fs a criminal, although he evidently doesn’t know It. Some years ago a law was passed by the General Assembly making it a criminal offense to kill, molest, cap ture or In any way disturb irisectiver- ous birds in the counties of Dougherty and Worth during the game son, that is between the first of April and October. Tire mocking bird comes within this class, as its lives principally on worms and iusects. A more harmless bird conld not be found. The wisdom of.tire law Is patent. It stops the heartless ravages upon a class of birds that are an assistance to man- kind, preventing molestation upon them when their broods are hatching, and their incursions into the fields where they destroy the pestiferous in sect should encourage everybody to protect them. It is basely ungrateful to rob the uests of these birds alter their public services In destroying so mauy of the -tormenting pests and insects that in fest our fields. There never lived a boy whose mother did not try to impress upon him the enormity of the offense of rob ing' bird nests. If the youth of the land will not respect the commands ot their parents they should be made to fee\ that the law has thrown a shield around these harmless creatures. No one likes to see a boy punished by legal measures and this offense, arising from ignorance more than any thing else, the young boys should be warned and taught that they are break ing the law. Ignorance of the law ex cuses no person of any offense, and should a boy be brought before the courts for-this offense, his ignorance of the law could not be set upas a plea. The mocking bird especially should be protected. He never commits any depredations upon fields or crops, but, acting in the capacity of a public bene factor, destroys the insects that would interfere with the growth of young plants. Besides this, he cheers the weary soul in the dullness ot the sum mer with ills sweet, soul-stirring mu sic. Flying from bough to hough, he fills the atmosphere'NvIth the merri ment of his music, and, catching the inspiration of Nature, wooes divine melody, that be weaves into Heavenly Any one who would rob the nests of such birds is heartless indeed. Let us urge emphatically and earnestly. Don’t molest the birds! -Miss May Jenkin’s school at the Tifton Academy will close on.

Mayor Glenks’s address of welcome to tire Road Congress was altogether unique. In the course of his speech he said: “I agree with Mr. Liviugston that it is a very important assemblage, and when you reinember that the road laws of Georgia had their origin with tire independence of the State, and have come down to this day through a century wlta very few changes, made by "men who never saw a steam boat or heard the whistle of a locomo tive, never received a telegram, and never talked through a telephone, 1 think that it will be self evident that It is abQiit time for some change lo be made iu these laws, aud that is the great purpose for which you are j serabled. No effort has been made *jo change tile road laws or improve the roads. Well, I beg your pardon, I believe there was one effort in 1S29. The leg islature appropriated $50,000 to buy a number of negroes which, added to those already owned by tire state.would make 190, and these were organized in gangs under overseers and superin tendents and assigned to improve the roads In different parts of the state.

The program was well gotten up and was carried out in every )»anicu:ar. Tire address of welcome by Mr. Frauk S. Harrell was a splendid effort, and did much credit to this young attorney, who has recently located in Newton. He is evidently endowed with fine qualities of mind and heart. Tire recitation of Miss Hattie Parker, “The Church aud the World,” though a very Jong piece, was rendered per fectly, much to tire delight of all who heard ft. The speech of Benton OJom, “Na tional progress tinder the iufinei.ee of National Virtue,” was very good and wa-evidence or the flue abilities ot this young orator. ‘•Man, his Mission, and his Destiny,” was the subject of the address of Willie Parker, who handled his subject in a way that would have done credit to o:re of twice Ins age. I think that we will hear more from Willie in the future. As bright a mind as he has will not he hid. “Have yon heard of Jesus,” was rendered by five little girls. Misses Eu»y Livlngsion, Irene O lorn. Mar- tense Shivers, Daisy and Bessie Conch, from Mrs. Ferry’s Infant Class. This part of the exercises formed the center of attraction for the day. Tire piece was a long one^and was rendered iu part sepi-r.itelv—tud part In concert, it was difficult, and yet they went through with it without the slightest uiistakl. The little girls were trained by Miss Ellen Martin, the very worth} ieaehcr of the Newton day school, who never does anything except in a thorough manner. Mrs. Ferry has twenty-four of those little lellows in her Sunday School Class. She is do ing a good work that will receive G-hI's bi -sring. aud long alter she ha-* passed away lire impression that she is leaving in tliu hearts of those liuie ones, will bring its legitimate results. The good seed that she is sowing iu thi« good soil -will spring up, and bring good frnir, “some thirty, some -ixry, ami some au hundred fold.” The recitation by Buiah Bailey from Mr. John Kidd'a school, was very good—lie did herself much credit. Thespei ch “How totreutyour Boy,” by White Kidd was most excellent; l b^oug.it down the house. Hon. A. L. Uiwes, of Bainbridge, being present by invitation, made us one of the b»i*t si>eec!»es of his life. For profound thought and cloqueti* language, and logical conclusions I have,seldom heard au address of the kind that equalled it. After tin* address of Mr. Iiawcs the business of the association was taken up. There were fewer reports in than usual, but the few schools that sent in reports showed them to be iu a healthy eonditiou. Sever'd sections of the coun ty have allowed their schools to go down and it is to lie regretted. Wlier ever there are children there ought to be Sunday Schools. -John O. Ferry was again elected President of the association. Hon. Reuben Jones, L. T. Whitlock, A. J. McMurry and John Kidd, Vice-Presi dents; R. E McCollum,Reuben Jone> and R. B. Odom, Executive Commit tee; G. Tom West, Secretary; S. J. W. Livingston, Treasurer; Delegates to State Association at Brunswick, Mr. Thos. W. Fleming, and Miss Anna Fleming. -Dinner was had on the ground. It was abtin-laut in supply, and very choice in quality, and was immensely enjoj-ed by all." Bakkk. The Verdict V naiiimoui. W. D. Suit, Druggist, Bippus, Iud., testifies: “I can recommend Electric Bitters as tlie very best remedy. Ev ery bottle sold has given relief in every case. One man took six bellies aud was rured of rheumati-on of 10 years’ standing.” Abraham Hare, Drug gist Bell vllle, Ohio, affirms: “ i he best selling med’eiue I have ever handled in my 20 years’ experience, Is Electric Bitters.’' Thousands of others have add*! their testimony, so that the ver dict is unanimous that Electric Bitters do cure all diseases of the L*ver, Kid neys and Blood.

Dougherty couuty is deeply interest ed in the practical results of the Road Cougress, now in session in Atlanta, though she did fad to send a repre sentative, and its proceedings will be closely watched by her progressive and Intelligent citizens. Tire Congress is composed of strong am! sensible representatives of the people, and its personnel embraces some of tiie most prominent m u of the State. This Is a guaranty that the deliberations will be characterized by sound seuse with some practical end in view. The conviction has been growing for some tune that there Is a n« ed of some amen-lation to ihe laws prescrib ing tlie methods by which the roads-of Georgia ar- to be worked. This con viction lias been enforced by a proper regard for public convenience and a di-slre to promote the best interests of tlie State. Ev*y Interest suffers when tlie highways are in such a condition as to preclude the possibility of com fortable au I pleasant passage, an i it is a terrible sacrifice ot religious, moral aud social developement that a country suffers its wagon roads to be come practically impassable. A goed road, like a pleasant companion, shor tens distance, and is an inducement to draw farmers together in religious and social gatherings. Bad roads are a great loss to a conn- try in tlie wear aud tear on draft ani mals and vehicles, and the country towns suffer from trade that is diverted out of natural ehanuels by reason of the “bard road to travel,” if they go where inclination and interest under other circumstances would lead them. The Road Congress has before them a very important work, fraught with great results to onf State, and it is to be hoped .that something eminently practical and useful may be arrived at as the conclusion of its deliberations.

In 1873 I contracted blood poison, which soon developed into its severest secondary form, with blotches and ngly sores all over my body, which totally disabled me for more than a year. The doctors treated me all the time without benefit.
