Since Gen. Jackson wns flrst elected
President of the United States there
has never been a candidate for that of
fice In either party who owhd his nom
ination so much to the rank and file
and so little to the leaders as Grover
Cleveland. He was nominated at Chi
cago beoause the voters at home, in the
fields and in the shops, insisted upon it
with a vehemence that did not brook
refusal. They forced his nomination,
and they can be relied upon to ratify
their own choice by electing him
There Ip probably not a man in the
country who does not believe in Graver
Cleveland’s honesty, nnd his fidelity to
his public duty as he understands it.
That is the secret of his strength.

The Issaes Uppermost.
From tho Philadelphia Record,
There are two important issues in-
’ volved this year in the struggle be
tween parties fqr the oontrol of the
Federal government. The attempt of
the Republican party, to fasten Negro
domination upon the people of the
Southern States by Federal interfer
ence with elections Is one clear issue.
The division of parties on the tariff
-question raises another clear issue.
There is no room for mistake about
one or the other. The New York Sun
insists that the tariff issue is not prac
ticable, because if the Democrats
should eleot both their President and
a majority in the House of Representa
tives they could not make any change
in the tariff without the consent of the
Republican Senate. Our esteemed
1 contemporary might as well argue
that the force bill issue is a mere stuffed
olub beoause the Republicans were un
able to carry it in the Senate.
Both issues are immediate, urgent
and uppermost in the minds of the
people. Those who wish to tear open
afresh the scarcely healed wounds of
sectional strife and hatred should vote
for Harrison and the force bill. Those
who may desire to enoourage further
the building up of unproductive in
dustries at the expense of productive
industries and to fasten permanently
upon the oountry a policy of elass leg
islation, should vote for Harrison and
protection. Those who do not believe
in force bills and protective tariffs
will vote for Cleveland. There is no
excuse for making any mistake this
year about the position of parties or
candidates;

Notwithstanding the heat which
prevailed Sunday it was an inter
esting day for the worshipers.
The ohurohes were well filled and in
each and ail the services were greatly
enjoyed.
At the Baptist church, after an able
sermon in the morning by the
Pastor, Rev. E. B. Carroll, the doors of
the ohnrah were opened and three ap
plicants for membership reoelved,
Mrs. and Miss Peacock by letter, and
Misa Bessie Carroll, the Pastor’s
daughter, by experience. The right
hand of ohuroh fellowship was ex
tended the two former and Chris
tian fellowship to the latter, to whom
the rite of baptism will be administ
ered next Wednesday night.
At night Miss I.ouells Gilbert read
an interesting essay upon Mexican
Missions, and Mr. J. 8. Davis followed
with an able and interesting address
upon Mission work in general.
The music wsb Very fine, both morn
ing and evening. A solo by Mr. Goode
Price, and “Calvary,” exquisitely ren
dered by Mrs. J. M. Tift, were particu
larly enjoyed.
At St. Paul’s Episcopal cliuroh Mr.
,D> W. Shaffer, in the absence of the
Rector, held services as a lay-reader,
He read, with great feeling, the beau
tiful ohuroh services, and in the morn
ing an eloquent and touching sermon
was delivered, taking the double text:
“Blessed is the Lord God of Isreal, for
lie hath visited and Redeemed Ills
People,” and “For God so Loved the
World that He gave His only Begotten
Son.” It wns replete witli beautiful
similes showing God’s great love for
man. At the evening service no ser
mon was read. The music was ex-
qusite, a solo being rendered by Mr.
Julian Price.
At the Methodist church tho Pastor,
Rev. Wm. J. Robertson, oharmed his
large congregation witli one of his
timely and manly sermons—full of
timely warnings against the evils of
the day. At the morning servioe the
text was taken from Proverbs and tho
subjeot discussed, Justice, the Theater
and Marriage. “If you are wise he

the efforts and sucoesses of the daugh

euemy of the ohuroh and is no place
for a Christian. The managers and the
actors are no friends of Christianity.
It is true that the theatre has im

of the Bible was proved from the in

standpoint. There was a sweet solo
from Miss Halite Oox, and the rich
strains of music from the grand organ
filled the snored edifice.
At the A. M. E. Church Bishop
Abram Grant gave 1 three sermons—
morning,afternoon at|d night—to large
congregations. He is, without doubt,
one of the most remarkable oolored
men in America. Born at Live Oak,
Fla., he was elected Bishop In 1868 at
Indianapolis, and the diocese of Texas
and California placed in his charge.
LaBt May, at the General Conference,
he was assigned the work in Georgia
and Alabama. He presides over eight
hundred ohurohes. He is president of
the A. M. E. Church Extension Board.
At his morning sermon there was not
a dry eye in tbe ohuroh, every hearer
being moved to tears.’ Seventy-two
applicants for membership advaneed
to the altar. In the afternoon the ser

many prominent white citizens, who
were anxious to listen to his eloquence,

Sparta, August 25.—I have It direct
(rout a prominent State official who
himself will shortly oharge It up 011
the stump that the long talked-of-fu-
sion between the Third Party and the
Republicans of Georgia has at last
been formally accomplished. The
trade is that the Republicans will sup
port all Third Party candidates for
Congress .and State offices and the
Third Party will support the national
ticket. Said the gentleman referred
“There Is no possible error in
this. I have it from a personal friend
of Buok, who has effected the fusion
and it has come to me from two other
well Informed persons slnoe, one of
them a leading Democratic Negro who
was asked to Join the movement. The
effect of this fusion is that immediate
word has been passed along the line
and the Negroes everywhere are being
pushed Into the Watson ranks. There
were nearly two thousand of them at
Sandersvllle to hear hint, and to-day
they are hero from every oorner of the
county. It is expeoted that their num
bers will swell as the campaign grows
old. Behind the movement is a cam
paign fund of $100,000 for which Buok
Ims gone Ito Washington. A like
amount has been assigned to Alabama,
North Carolina and West Virginia.

out in these States, the loss of apy one

elsewhere along the line, will be fatal
to Cleveland. Such Is the programme,

The office of C. H. Camfleld & Co’s
warehouse had a visit from a coon Frl
day night. He stuck his p,aws into the
inkstand and then left his big black
tracks all over the desk and books,
The tracks were unmistakably those
of a very large coon. He ate up Fort
Tarver’s meerschaum pipe and tore the
sponge that was on the coanting table
all to pieces. This is evidently a reg
ular town coon, and having bis den

MB FOBBED AN ORDER
Aad la Naw la a Fecit a> Traable aad
Itaagalahca la Jail.
Felix Dawson, a Negro who has been
working on the Lamar plaoe, out in
the Oaky woods, was arrested by Dep
uty Sheriff Godwin and lodged in jail
just before daylight Friday morning.
Felix has been worklngon the Lamar
place until about two months ago, when
he came to town. Before leaving the
country he forged an order on Stal-
naker’s store at Duoker Station, sign
ing the name of Mr. C. W. Summer-
foot, superintendent on the Lamar
place, for some goods.
The forgery, It seems, was not dis
covered until a few days ago, when
warrant was sworn out and plaoed In
the hands of Deputy Sheriff Godwin.
Mr. Godwin located his man in
house on the outskirts of the city, and
surprised him before be was out of bed
this morning. He Is now in jail.
The Herald had a pleasant eall last
Saturday from Rev. R. F. Riley, a for
mer pastor of the Baptist ohuroh of
this olty. He waa here in 1878, then
young minister just from the seml-
nnry. Now he is a full-fledged D. D.
and President of the Howard College
at East Lake, Ala., the Baptist college
of our sister State. Mr. Riley was
reeognlzed as a young minister of rare
ability when he flrst entered the min
istry, and those who predicted a bright
and useful future for him have not
been disappointed. He left for Amer-
icus to-day, after renewing pleasant
acquaintanceship with friends made
in Albany fourteen years ago. He
said that he has never seen a town
take on more substantial growth In
tbe same length of time than Albany
has slnoe he last saw it.
Folton county’s six candidates for
tbe House have had their joint debate,
and have now settled down to aotlve
campaigning.
The ’Atlanta Journal very wisely
suggests preesutious hygenlo meas
ures in every city in the United States,
as a guard to the probable Invasion of
the cholera.
While the Are was raging, around
the press room of the Augusta Chron
icle Saturday afternoon, tbe employes
went manfully to work and the morn
ing edition came out on time.
“It is a conceded fact,” said Mr. C-
C. Campbell, the compress man, to the
Herald to-day, “that the cotton mep
of Albany are the best educated in the
cotton business of any in the South
to-day. Tbe railroad men, the com
press people and everybody else that
knows anything about it, concedes this
to be a fact.”
Albanians are now beginning to
congratulate themselves on the fast
that only about thirty days more of
this excessive warm weather remains,
In faot September is generally a much
cooler month than August, and in Oc
tober the temperature falls so much
that life Is really to be enjoyed. Au
gust is, witbont a doubt, our hottest
month, and as its race is now run, we
may congratulate ourselves on the faot
that tbe rest of the summer will be
comparatively cool. But September
Will yet make us swelter, see if it
doesn't.
A HOPELESS CASE.
Ha Bail Figured II All Out and Took
Thing* Philosophically.
A claim, beautifully situated on
upland prairie, but waist high with
weeds; a dilapidated sod Bhack whose
thatched roof, us in the old song,
let in the sunshine and the rain,"
whose cubby hole windows were
broken here and there and stuffed
with wearing apparel of various hues,
and whose four walls were so Btorm
worn that they barely held together;
an ancient wagon here, with one
wheel off and a hopeless stagger in
the other throe; a ghost of ahorse
there, grazing in a patch of thistles,
and a man intheBhadowof the shack
smoking and complacently eyeing
the desolation about him.
“Hello," I cried, halting my horse;
what's the matter here?"
Matter with what!" drawled a
voice, us the speakor turned upward
a pair of languid eyes.
“Why, with this form. Running
down, isn’t it!"
He shrugged his shouldors and
smoked on in silence.
“Do you live horel"
“Uh-huh.”
“Married!"
“Gosh-a-mighty 1”
“Why don’t you fix things up!
Look at that wagon, there. How do
you get to town!”
“Ride horseback."
I looked toward his shadow of a
horse and remarked pointedly;
“Thistles are poor fodder."
“Shot I wonder.”
“Why don’t you picket your horse
an the long grass down yonder in the
bottom!"
Puff, puff, puff—and a wreath of
smoke was my only answer.
"Don't you know," I went on se
verely, “that the animal will die if
rou don’t take care of him! Then
low would you get to town!"
"Hoof it, I reckon."
“If I were you I’d have some snap
about me. I'd plow up all these
weeds and get this farm into some
kind of conditioh."
‘Fate’s agin it,” he Bold, shaking
his head ominously.
"Why so!”
Knooking the ashes out of his pipe,
he put it away and hooked up one of
his knees with both handB.
“Look here, stranger, this here
claim's full o' wild mustard. Do you
know how many seeds there is in
one o’ them plants!”
“No."
“Well, I spent all last summer
findin out on avoragin up tho
chances. They’s 81,000 seeds in one
o' them tarnation little plants. That
means 81,000 plants to raise 81,000
more seeds next year, an how many
billion plants d'you s'poso they is on
this plaoe, anyhow! Jest guess an
multiply that by 81,000—why,

boppered in Kansas, hailed out o'

tard’s goin to drive me out o’ here 1

Then he took his pipe out of one
pocket and a handful of tobacco out
of the other, and proceeded to fix
himself for another smoke.
I looked at him a moment, resigned
him mentally and rode away.
“But Fm glad that mustard hain’t

She half rose from her seat, glanced
toward the rear of the open car, and
raising her parasol signaled to the
conductor on the rear platform that
she desired to have the car stopped
at the next comer. As.it slowed she
stood up and stepped to the side,
shifting her parasol from the light
hand to the left and grasping the,
arm of the seat with the disengaged
right.
"Wait till the car stops, please,”
the Conductor shouted.
She glanced up with a Blight ex
pression of fright, and the conductor
ran along the footboard at the side
to assist her, but she did not wait for
him. Sho stepped down while tho
car was in motion, and when the car
stopped with a slight jerk she had
her left foot on the pavement. Sho
had kept hold of the arm and was
about to release it and put down the
other foot, while facing to tho rear,
when the jerk threw her off lier bal
ance. The conductor grasi>ed her
ami and prevented her from tailing.
She smiled her thanks and stepped
away. The conductor blew his
whistle and started to return to the
platform.
"There’% another,” he remarked to
a serene and observant individual at
the end of the next seat. "A woman

philosopher remarked.

“Ambidexterity—ability to use

Not the war that costs thousand* m l
human lives on the field of battle, but.I
the merciless demon of disease tlmt is I
equally as terrlblo when allowed to get I
hold in a community where sanitary I
precautions lmvo not been strictly|
token.
It Is a sad faot, but none the lossl
real, that the health of Albany is nt I
present more threatened than it has |
been ntnny time in several years past. I
And why? ,
Simply beoause during the last ten |
years we have escaped all serious sick
ness, thanks to artesian water and I
good drainage; but now we nre tlirent-1
ened from another quarter. Tho Her- [
ald doesn't menu to pose ns a fault-I
finder or an agitator of unpleasant |
questions, and there is really no im
mediate cause for alarm, tho health of I
the city having been extremely good |
all through the past summer.
But the question now arises, Will w
continue to be free from sickness 1
the olty isn’t cleaned? Numbers 0
persons are fearful for ih« health of I
the city, and have not hesitated In ex- I
press themselves foroibly In speaking |
of tho matter.
Said a prominent gentleman ihisl
morning: “There nre plaqes In this
city where germs of disease are sure
to arise unless they receive limm-dintc
attention. There arc vnonnt lots In
tho very heart of the oity where weeds I
lmvo been allowed to grow six or eight
feet high nnd very thick,and tho smell |
they oause Is terrible.
In various alleyways the stench
arising from foul matter thrown out I
of private yards Is enough to cause
sickness in the whole neighborhood.
Suppose the olioiera should rcncli
bany in its present condition? It is I
not probable that.it will, but there is |
certainly a possibility."
The City Fathers have now token
the matter in hand, nnd at tbelr next I
meeting will jirobalily pass an ordi- |
nance in regard to having tho city
thoroughly cleaned.
And Albany certainly, needs ek
ing. It won't do to wait until the |
horse is stolen to look the stable, but
now Is tho time to act. It Is to be
hoped that the City Council will Ink-
determined action in the matter, and
seo that tile sanitary precautions nec

On one occasion a man named
Fisher swam from Dover to 8nnd
ite in two hour* und a half, a dis-
inco of ten miles. He started with
a favorable tide, and although it took
him out a mile to sea he swam to
the shore and landed without assist
ance. Previously be had attempted,
with Professor Dalton, to swim from
Dover to Ramsgate, and had then
succeeded in doing twelve miles.
Subsequently he made another at
tempt to swim between these places,
and started at 8:80 in the morninp
At 4 o’clock he had reached Pegwel
hay, hut as the tide had dropped add
he was making little progress he de
cided to givo up. Although he had
been in the water for seven hours and
a half he was able to get into the
boat unaided.
The Professor Dalton .referred to
also swam from Deal to Ramsgate, a
distance of nine miles, in less than
four bourn. The sea was somewhat
“choppy,” but notwithstanding this
he appeared little worse for his long
immersion, and left the “briny” un
