—Albany’s young paper, Tub Al
bany Ukrald, is growing in favor
among the sterling people down tbis
way. Its able editorials and its patri
otic spirit are no surprise to those
who used to read Editor McIntosh’s
able artioies in his earlier newspaper
life.
—There is a quiet and patriotic sat
isfaction among our best people over
the harmony in Democratic ranks
which now prevails in this district.
All honor to Chairman Hobbs and his
committee, and to gallant Ben Russell 1
Our people are glad to see that the dis
trict and the State appreciate the vol
unteer services of Mitchell’s whole-
souled Democrat, Hon. W. N. Spence,
in the recent campnign. His energy,
courage and good sense make him
invlnoiole in politics.
—Nor will the people forget those
public journuis who nlways ndvooato
unadulterated Democracy. Nor will
the services of your own brilliant
Walters, and of Capt. W. M. Hammond
and Judge Bower, who took the stump
so boldly and so wisely and effectively
ever be forgotten. We appreciate the
fact, too, that Hon. O. B. Stevens
has shown himself a good Democrat
and will offer no obstacle to the march
of Democratic union and success.
—But, nfter all, the chief honor be
longs to the farmers of this dis
trict, They compose the rank and llle
of the Democratic party. The Camilla
Clarion told the Alliance politicians
more than two years ago, when the
wild sub-treasury foolishness of Mnc-
une wus bo rampant, that the farmers
would eventually repudiate all such
wild Kansas-Nebraska political or
gans. The Clarion wns then owned
and edited by the llrst farmer who ever
publicly repudiated the sub-treasury,
You remember, the wrath of the Alli-
anoe politicians poured down upon
him in torrents. But he knew he was
right, and ho knew the farmers. He
said then that they were men of Benso
and would soon see the absurdities of
Maoune’s politics. They have seen
them and nre more decided Democrats
than ever.
—Mitchell county Democrats, in
their primary, have chosen Hon. J. H.
Scaife, of Camilla, as their nominee for
the Senate. He is a man of a big heart
and a level head. HiB opponent is
Hon. C. W. Collins, of this county, the
nominee of the Third Party. He is lo
cally known as having belonged to all
parties except the Democratic party
His presidential votes have been cast
for Ben Butler, Weaver, Blaine and
Harrison, and, of course, ho has little
political influence, if any.
—Mr. R. II. Cochran, a sterling farm
er and former tax collector, is the
Democratic nominee for the lower
house in the legislature. He is the
most popular public man in the coun
ty and deserves his popularity.

A Macon oity official, as we lenrn
from the Telegraph, has been figuring
with a friend on the profits of a goose
farm. Starting out with a oapital of
$500 to buy 1,000 geese at fifty cents
apiece, they soon figured out In a seem
ingly very plansible way, how a clear
prolit of $1,689,500 oould be made in
five years. After all this figuring had
been done, however, it occurred to the
more practical man of the two that In
their enloulations they had made no
allowance for ganders, and here they
became suspioious of the scheme and
abandoned it.
Reading the article from which these
points are gathered in the Telegraph
reminds us of an experiment made by
a prominent lawyer and county of
ficial of this city a few years ago.
“Go08evllle!”
There are many of our citizens who
have been regaled with bright and
really enthusiastic stories about goose-
ville.
Our friend had the very place for a
goose farm. An underground stream
run through it, rising at Intervals and
making beautiful pools of dear water.
Indeed, nature, seemed to have had a
goose farm in view when this partic
ular lot of land was being created, and
our legal friend was the first to dis
cover it and possess himself of the land,
After getting his land and Settling a
trusty old darkey on it he advertised
for geese. And lie bought geese—all
that came—sent thorn out to] his new
farm and named the place “Gooseville."
As time wore on and the season ar
rived for the geese to begin to lay and
increase, they laid not at all, neither
did they increase. They, “tolled not
neither did they spin.”
Our friend made frequent, visits to
Gooseville, and ltnally commenced to
dnd fault with the old darkey in
charge.
At length the old darkey made
discovery, and when the proud owner
made his next visit to Gooseville lie
was ready for him: “Look a’ here,
boss,” said the old man, “I tell you
what’s de matter wid dese gee3e, an
why dey won't lay none—dey’s ail gan
ders !”
Corn nnd cotton are planted there
now, but tlie place is still known
Gooseville, although there may be none
of the herd of ganders left.
From Friday's KVKMIKO 1Ikhai.ii.
If Albany had 5,000 inhabitants she
could have a free postal delivery ser
vice according to the laws of the
United States.
We have the 5,000 inhabitants nnd
more, too, but according to the report
of Census Manager Porter we have
not.
The census of 1800 gives Albany
only 4,008 inhabitants.
This false count was the result of
corrupt census-takers working for
Republican interests. Several citi
zens who have lived in both Albany
and Atnericus state positively that Al
bany has more inhabitants than the
latter city, yet the census of 1880 gave
Americas 0,878 and Albany only 4,008.
Mr. B. F. Brimberry, the present
postmaster, suggests that
A New Census
be taken under the direction of the
City Counoil, and, if possible, that the
count be given an official stamp. He
says that where there are 5,000 popu
lation or over, or the reoeipts of tlie
office are $10,000 or above annually, the
oity is entitled to the free delivery
system.
The receipts of this office do not
quite reaoli $10,000 annually, but cer
tain itils that our population numbers
way above 5,000. Mr. Brimberry says
lie has lived in both places, and he Is
certain that Albany has
A Lnrger Popillnlinn
than Americu8.
Mr. Brimberry himself further states
that Hie last census was not properly
tnken. Theoensus-takers omitted him
and his family in his rounds, nnd he
snys he knows positively of a number
of others who were treated likewise.
The gist of the whole matter is that
only about two-thirds of Albany’s
population was recorded at all, and
the rest were never called upon. The
result is Amerious gets the free deliv
ery system and we don’t.
The Cilr Should Tube It>* Own Croiui
The thing to do is for the eity to
take the matter in hand and take its
own census under the direction of the
Oity Council. -The government’s at
tention should then be called to the
mistake in the ltgures, and copmon
justice would demand that Albany
have her rights, even though the offi
cial figures had gone on record.
Our’s is not the only case of its kind
on record. They are being found and
shown up in all parts of the country
where it was anything to the advant
age of the party in power to take such
false oount. The matter should be
looked into and corrected at once.

Tlie Kind Hearted Negro Telle Why Be
Is Today a Fonr Man.
One of those picturesquo incidents
which count for much was the meet
ing, for the first time since recon
struction days, of a Mississippi negro
with his white master of old times.
Master and ex-slave were equally
prompt in their recognition of each
other. The former has beeu living
in the north for twenty years; the
latter has stuck by the old planta
tion, a part of whioh has fallen into
his hands os proprietor.
Both were overjoyed at the meet
ing and went over to a quiet corner
to talk about old times. Every
friend the negro met oh the way had
to be stopped and introduced to "my
young Mars’r ? , dat I learned ter
ride when ho was a leetle chap an
owned me.” There wns no false
slinm about the freedman because of
his past; he bore his master's sur
name—the only one him or his an
cestors in America had ever known,
and his references to "our family"
were made with an air of conscious
superiority to Borne of the “trash”
around him who “hadn’t never been
owned by nobody in partio’lar.”
The southern aristocrat, who has
had his many ups and downs since
he came north, was curious to learn
how his old body servant had fared
in the interval.

THOSE CENSUS EIOVBES.
Thor nre the OMcinl BlnllMlca of the
Oen.ne Bnrean.
From Saturday's Evening Hkhald,
Some have seen fit to take issue with
tlie figures given yesterday in the
Herald as the official oensus of the
city.
It is said that Oram’s Atlas gives Al
bany 8,856 inhabitants. We have not
jiad nn opportunity of consulting
Alram’s Atlas, but if those are Mr.
Crum’# figures, they were not taken
from the official records, that’s certain.
The figures, as they appear oil the
official records, are, for Albany, in
1880, 3,210; 1890, 4,008. Americus, In
1880, was given 3,635, and in I860 6,398,
an increase of 2,763 over the last cen
sus. Albany’s increase for the past
ten years lias been, according to tills
census, only 792, a comparatively small
showing.
It is true that a good many of the
people who properly belong to the city
live just outside the limits, but it is
also true that the census was not prop
erly taken within the city Itself. The
Herald lias beard of at least a half
dozen families who were not called oh
at all and there are hundreds of tliem
if all the facts were known, who were
left out.
Tho thing to do is for tlie eity to
take a hand in tlie matter and take its
own census, and then appeal to tlie
government for the rights and privi
leges which are justly due it. We
hope the' Council will take tlie
matter in hand as soon as practicable,
and show up the rottenness of the Re
publican census by getting at the real
facts and figures of Albany’s popula
tion.

Mr. Quinn's Genial Seal*
Sausalito has a pet seal of the
leopard variety which is three months
old and is owned by George Quinn.
It was 'captured by a fisherman ia
Richardson’s bay. It is learning all
sorts of trioks, and on the approach
of anybody close to the big tub in
which it constantly disports itself it
cries as only a seal can cry, or shout*
and extends one of its flippers as if
wanting to indulge in its own pecu
liar handshaking. If a person takes
the proffered flipper it gazes intently
into his face, as if conscious of a
friendly greeting.
Sometimes it gets out of its tub
and hammers away at the yard gate
and cries like a petulent child until
some one lets it out. Then it wobbles
down into the street and buries itself
in. the dust until it is hidden from
view. An occasional cry marks its
location. There it basks in the warm
sun until somebody passes. — San
Francisco Examiner.
The Facial Impression of Horses.
‘There is a horse with a benev
olent countenance,!' Raid a gray whis
kered individual to a reporter at the
corner of Clark and Washington
streets, os ho patted tho nose of a cab
horse. "Now,” he continued, “you
in uli probability see no difference
between this horse and others, except
in its color and a spavin or so. There
is as much dissimilarity in the facial
expression of horses as of human
beings. *
"Horses cannot talk, and must give
vent to their feelings in notion andex-
iresslon. Take, for exmple, the dray
orees of Chicago. As a rule tljoir
faces say, almost as plainly as n man
could express it in speech: ‘We are
doomed to a lifetime of toil. It is
not our idea of life, but we cannot
help ourselves and me resigned to
our fate.’
The cab horses stand at their
poBt restlessly, with dropping heads
but watchful eyes, and their expres
sion is one of relief and eagerness to
move when the reins are drawn
tight and the order comes to ‘git up.'
The street car horse has the vacant
expression of one who does his work
by routine, and whose thoughts are
anywhere hut in the present.
"Notico that carriage team. The
horses are members of the equine
Four Hundred, and they know it.
They ore as conscious of their sleek

suddenly a heavy rope somehow
broke loose from its moorings in the

to the floor behind the speaker. Mr.
Curtis looked around in mild sur

then, turning to the alarmed au

The sea is not of uniform soltness
at all depths, for the soltness gener
ally increases with its depth. The
investigations of the Challenger
show that as a rule the saltness of
the sea decreases from the surface
to a depth of from 800 to 1,000 fath
oms, and after that Increases until
the bottom is reached. This cannot
be taken as a fixed rule, however, as
different seas are subject to different
conditions. These variations depend
upon the currents of fresh water
which are poured into the sea from
rivers. Thus the Caspian sea con
tains eleven pounds of salt to every
ton of water and the Red sea ninety^
three pounds. In the Mediterranean
the saltness increases with the depth,
while in Baffin’s bay the surface wa
ter and deep water aro the same. It
has been calculated that if all the
salt were extracted from the sea and
spread over the surface of the land
it would form a layer thirty feet
deep.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Persons to Beware Of.
No matter of what color, beware of
the eyes that have no desire to look
you full in the face. There is some
thing wrong behind the shifting, un
easy glance, and the owner of such
optics will prove to be unworthy of
trust. Read well the signs, for if
actions speak louder than words, eyes
speak even louder than actions, and
to be forewarned is to he forearmed.
