CUTLIFF.—Dentist. Now, when you come to sec the Herald, turn to the right at the head of tlie stairway, and if you don’t see what you want ask for it. Mb. W. N. Harmon, who has form erly had charge of the T. C. Parker lunch and news stand at the depot, has gone to Macon, and the stand Is now In new hands. isomcBiBABim svrmBiiia. At the Vepjr Doer of Wcnlthr Altnttln. W S. Bell. Mrs. J. Vrntulrtt has had n beauti ful fountain built ill the large yard ad joining,pee .residence on Commerce street. It consists of four arolies, ris ing from the water, and, gradually leaning Inward, meet I11 the center, about eight feet from the ground. Tlie arohes arc built of rocks and shells oeitieuted together, and the ferns and grasses growing In the crevices are watered by means of n beautiful sprny. In the store of Mr. Selgmund Sterna the Herald was shown a rare sight for this region, a fow days ago. It was a sprig from an orange tree of the “kid glove" variety bearing a ripe orange, a half grown green orange and a number of blossoms, thus pre senting the Incipient, the half grown and the mature stages of the fruit all on one twig. The twig was from a tree that is growing In Mr. Sterne’s yard in this city. Will Howe, the loquacious “Candy Man,” who Is remembered bv every body who was in Albany four or live years ago, Is in trouble over in Dooly county. Ho hired a horse and buggy from W. II. Thornton, the liveryman at Vienna, and never returned with the team. He sold the horse and buggy nt Abbeville and skipped out. He was Anally overtaken at Fort Gaines and arrested, nnd is now In jail at Vicnnn charged with a serious crime. He “acknowledges the oorn” and lays all the blame on whisky. Nineteen gentlemen, hailing from all parts of the country, were in the ofilce of the Albany Inn last nlgllt, discussing such subjects ns only a body of lawyers, judges, drummers, policemen and “sech like," can dlsouss, and of course politics had to oome In for Its share of attention. One of the party, who is nn nll-round Cleveland man, took the trouble to get the opin ions of each of the gentlemen present as to their choice between the two great Democrats, Cleveland and Hill, for President. The result showed that eighteen out of the nineteen were out and out for Cleveland; the remaining one refusing to say how he felt on the subject. Mr. John Pearson, B. & W. conduc tor between Albany and Wayeross, met with an accident yesterday which will probably confine him to' his room for several days. The train was some what late at Tif ton, and Mr. Pearson, in hurrying from the ear, slipped and gave his knee a twist. He gave the matter no thought at first, but had walked but a short distance when his knee seemed to give wholly out, and he oould scarcely step. When the train arrived in Albany it was 'neces sary to proeure a hack to carry Mr. Pearson to the Mayo. The sprain, though probably not a serious one, is very painful and will doubtless 0011- fine Mr. Pearson to his room for sev eral days. The stiff against the bondsmen of Gary Pitman, defaulting City Treas- urer of Albany, was called in the Su perior Court late yesterday afternoon and again this morning, but .was con tinued on account of the absence of Mr. J. W. Walters, who represents one of the bondsmen and is confined at home by illness. The trial of the case would probably consume at least two days, and the lawyers were not very keen to go into it at this term, as there are enough criminal cases on the docket to take up the balance of the week. A compromise settlement be tween the Pitman bondsmen and the City Council lias been suggested and may be consummated before the next term of the court. N>J. Hhrllmnn Return, to tke Control. Maj. W. F. Shellman returns to his old place as Traffic Manager of the Central Railroad and its branches 'to morrow. When the Richmond and Danville took charge pf the Central Maj. Shell- man was the Trafflo Manager, but he resigned and engaged in the real es tate business. A few months ago he was appointed manager' of the Columbus - Southern, but now he has been tendered bis old place with the Central by the new management, and it is understood that his appoint ment is to take effect on the 15th Inst. If ever there was an instance where words are totally inadequate to ex press terrible suffering, misery and poverty,that Instance has arisen in. Atlanta. The Atlanta Journal of Monday evening calls attention to the dire necessities of the case that lias come to notice in the following forcible manner 1 “The Journnl, on behalf of tlie strick en poor of the Exposition mills fac tory dlstrlot, where famine and pesti lence are to-day making worse rava ges than among the serfs of Russia, appeals to every Christian man and woman In Atlanta’s borders to lend n hand at once for the amelioration of their suffering. “They are dying now, ns you read lliis—starving to death. The bodies of their dead arc unburled. The liv ing are suffering with pneumonia, fever and measles, and have neither food, fuel or clothing. “Something must he done nt. once— to-ilny. The bodies of sufferers whom death has relieved, remained unburled, nnd lie In the same room with those whom pneumonia or fever are fast lending to death, who have no one to even hand them a drink of water; Who have no clothing Or bed covering! who lie about on the lloor of • the hut they call a home, and starve nnd shiver through the bleakness of this dreary day.” Dr. Hawthorne says: “I have been In the slums pf New York and other large elttcs, but I can truthfully sny that I never saw misery or suffering equal to this.” The Herald does not onll attention to tills heart-rending state of. affairs for the purpose of solioltlhg nld from Its patrons. Atlanta is—ought to tie— capable of caring for its own jpop'r^and 110 doubt speedy relief will bo brought to the people for whom the. journal scuds out its humane cry. ., But how comes this state of affairs in a city the size of Atlanta? Dr. Hawthorne “never saw such 'suffering In the slums of New York,” and . At lanta lias less than 100,000 inhabitants, Their present suffering will be ame liorated, but will the cause of it tie re moved? Who controls that “factory district?” Who owns nnd colleots rent from those houses where, “In' one rffom, eight or ten people arc sick with pneumonia?" The Journal states that the district Is out of the city limits. But if His, there surely can not be “two hundred frame houses” In close proximity without its being somebody’s business to look after the sanitary measures of the place. The Journal lays the blame-off-fio one. But think you not somebody, somewhere, Is guilty of a serious crime? Not offense, but orlme—mur der, in fact, and wholesale murder at that. Somebody, through selfish 1 greed of those pleasures tlint money can buy, lias trampled on human hearts, ffnB orushed out human lives in a mad scramble for the filthy lupre. Atlanta Is not more heartless than other places—on the contrary, Mr people respond most ■ readily to Oriek for assistance—hut the same stats of affairs Is everywhere found. There was a pathetio truth In the cartoon which appeared some time ago in'a leading paper. It piotured the sailing away from Amerioan shores of ships laden to the gunwales with barrels ot flour and oorn for the relief of Bus. sian peasants, while on the sffore stood emaolated, hungry-looking men, women and children, stretohlng their gaunt arms- out toward the ships and orylng for bread. 1 Ah, shame to American greed for money 1 Shame to Amerioan industries' where business enterprise meets with sueeess at suoh fearful odds as this) Do not say It is nobuslnessof yours, It is your business. Make it your business so tongas there remains in your olty or your community one sen tion of half-starved, half-sick laboring men to whom life is but a weary,sick ening toil for daily bread. It ^ every body’s business to correct this mom strolls sin. It is this state of affairs that breeds not only pestilential disease that at tacks human life, but breeds those worse diseases—strikes and insurrec tions—that drain the life of a com munity or country. ' No such "plot should be found 011 the honorable escutcheon of our fair country—and yet, the case at Atlanta is not a rare instance. It is but one'of the few cases that come to publio notic. —Veil pins are now a toilet requisite. The American Iaraelite calls atten tion to the great demand for rabbiB in this oountry, and to tbe fact that smart rabbis can obtain both lucre and honor. It says: “Taken merely from a business standpoint, no other pro fession compares to the American Jew ish ministry. The moment a young man graduates tie Is sought after, and seldom, if ever, starts with a salary of less than $1,500, and if he has anything in him commands all the way up to $10,000 a year, at an age when men in other professions are glad to make'- a bare living. In addition, he is secure for life, as a rule, and> not subject to those piimerops eontingencies wtifch may at any time ruin the career of doctors or lawyers through no* fault of, their own. There is,'also, no profes sion jn which a man is more honored," vocao DEMOCRACY. The Douzherl)- Coimlr Democratic Club OrgnulseA. THK REBEL YBI.I, Vrom Three Hundred Deorgln Rnpllnt Drenchers. From Tiiosdsv's Evonhig HorAltl. , The Dougherty County Democratic i Club was organized at the Court House ' last night. A goodly number of Dem ocrats, mostly young men, were pres ent and participated In the organiza tion. Speeches were made by Messrs. W. E. Wooten, 8. J. Jones, W. W. Turner, E. R. Jones, Gen. Henry Morgan and others, and the club was given a good start. A permanent organization of a club to be known as the Dougherty County Democratic Club was effected, and quite a number of names were en rolled. Mr. S. J. Jones was cleoted Presi dent nnd Mr. W. W. Turner Seoretnry of the club. Tile following Executive Committee was chosen: B. L. Weston, H. A. Tarver, Jr., W. E. Wooten, W. J. Ford and S. B.

Turner were appointed to draft resolutions for the club, and reported the following,which were unniilniouBly adopted: Wherens, The political demands tlint are to be innde upon the people tills year to elect representatives in every iranch of government; nnd, Whereas, .The Democratic party has been assailed on many sides ns having been recreant to many trusts im posed ; a»d, Wherens, We feel that the Demo cratic'.party offers the only political relief to all classes of the people and silhSer.ves white supremacy In the South; therefore, be it ' Resolved, Tlint we ball with delight tlie formation of tlie Dougherty Coun ty Democratic Club. Belt further Resolved, That we earnestly urge the organization of Democratic clubs In every county In the Second Con gressional district and that every true Democrat in Dougherty county be urged to ally himself with this- olub •with the purpose of waging n relent less war for Deinocraoy In all pending campaigns. Be it further Resolved, Tlint we deprecate the Third party or untl-Dcmocratlo ten dencies among a large class of ourolti- zens and that any ono who displays Third party tendencies be denied the right-to participate In Demooratio irimarles or Democratic meetings, le it further Resolved, That we throw down De mocracy ns the wntoliword for the coming campaign nnd ask the united support of all Democrats 111 this dis trict In the great fight for victory that we trust awaits us. After the. County Demooratio club adjourned a Wooten club was organ- Izeh and plans laid for putting In some work In the interest of Hon. C. B. Wooten for Congress. DEATH Olf ELDER DOWBRLL. An Old nnd Respected Colored Minin- . . ter Q'oer lo Ifeln Reword. The Georgia Baptist Convention lias been In session In LaGratige during tlie past week, anil the following inci dent related by W, G. Cooper In yes terday’s Atlanta Constitution shows that the Georgia preaoliers are “like unto other men" when It aomes to be ing oaptlvated by pretty girls and thrilled by the sacred memories that are awakened In every true Southern heart by the natiunal air of the South ern Confederacy. To read about It makes une wish to have been there with tlie preachers: “It was n rare sight—1100 Baptist preaoliers going wild with enthusiasm and splitting their throats with the rebel yell I Suoli Is the matchless power of music I “It. was I11 the chapel of the South ern Female College, at LaGrange, the other night, wheh the young ladles’ sruliestra, with tiv.enty-flve pieces, playing 11 medley, silddenly Introduced •Dixie. This orolieBtra Is ono of the institutions of which the aulluge, La- Grange nnd the State may well bo proud. The young ladles make music whloh has been oompared to that of the famous Mexican band, and their rendition of the minuet was some thing to remember, “When 'Dixie’ oamo out from the stringed Instruments, the cornet, the organs nnd the pianos, it came with a till loess of melody and a tenderness of association not oven suggested by nn ordinary brass band. As the first few notes sounded, tliu qulok ear of 11 brother from the bnokwuods caught It, and a keen yell rent (lie air. .Instantly tlie applause was deafening, and then ohoor lifter olioer rose and, reverber- ntod through the hall. After a few bars more of the dear old song, the theme of the medley glided softly Into another, air, but presently returned with the same exquisite effect. There was the same' keen yell, the snme thunder of applause, and white hand, kerchiefs vied with the old preaoher’s lint. Ur. Frost, of Rlohmond, shouted aloud; Dr..J. William. Jones made a desperate effort to fly to the celling, and the whole orowd got happy. Then, nil at once, ns If from nn uncontrolla ble Impulse, twenty-five sweet girl voices sang the ohorus. The song hushed the tumult: for a brief moment ns the sweet volous rose, but as the ohorus rounded to its-end the genuine old rebel sell from hundreds or fight ing parsons’ throats rent the air nnd shook the windows.” ODE VOIt TEXAS.

Elder Dowdell was one of* the oldest amf most universally respected col ored preachers In this part of the State. He bad been a faithful laborer in the .Master’s vineyard for many years, anil Ids work was well directed for the religious, moral and Intellec tual advancement of his people. He founded the A. M. E. church, commonly known among the Negroes as the “Brlok Church,” on Washington street, in this olty, and was pastor of it for four years. He was then made the Presiding Elder of the Albany district of the A. M. E. church, and held that position until his age and falling health compelled him to retire. At the time of Ids death lie Was a superanuary. In Ids death the Negroes of this sec tion lose one of their ablest and safest counselors; and Albany loses one of her best colored citizens. -It is eaBy for the small hoy to “make a clean breast of it,” but the rub comes when you want 1dm to wash his neck.
