GovAnor Northen and his staff will
go to Washington to attend the inaug-
ural ceremonies of Grover Cleveland.
The Governor returned from Cuba
on Thursday, after a very pleasant
stay on the picturesque island with
the Baptist exoursionists, and the At
lanta Constitution says that one of the
first things he did after seating him
self in the gubernatorial chair waste
open a letter from the Vice-Chairman
of the Committee on Inaugural Cere
monies at Washington, Inviting linn
to be one of the distinguished visitors
at the national- capital at the inaugu
ration.
The letter was a cordial one, and the
Governor was much pleased with the
consideration shown him by Mr. Cleve
land’s friends.
“As is already verjf well known,"
says the Constitution, "the Governor is
one of the most enthusiastic admirers,
of Mr. Cleveland in -the entire State
of Georgia, and it Was not a matter for
hesitation for him to consider favor
ably the invitation. lie nt, once de
cided to go to tho inauguration. He
will oommuhlcate with his officers of
the staff in the near future about the
trip. It Is no longer a matter of doubt
about the Governor going, for he
wrote the letter of acceptance yester
day, and will go about the preparation
of a splendid showing for the Empire
State of the South at once at the na
tional capital on the oooasion of the
seating of Grover Cleveland.
“The Governor is Invited to bring
with him his full staff, and to have
a sufficient number of Georgia volun
teers with him to make a display in
the great street prr.de in keeping
with the full dignity and honor of the
Empire {State of the Spilth.
“The trip is a go, and the Governor
will leave about the 1st of March with
his staff and a number of the crack
military companies Of-the State. Sev
eral companies from Savannah' are
making preparation to go with the
Goyerner atifl be in the Georgia divis
ion of the grand parade. The Capital
City Guards, Atlanta’s youngest com
pany, Is going to 'be among tluf sol
diers who will take part in the mem
orable ceremonies. The boys are mak
ing all arrangements for the trip, and
will have their new uniforms just in
time tn make their first appearance be
fore tbe public in this parade,
“Georgia’s Governor will appear with
bis companies and hiB staff in the
grand parade tbe day of the inaugura
tion. He and his staff will be mounted.
There is a great deft of interest at
taching to the trip since the Governor
has decided to be among the conspicu
ous ilg«ros in the ceremonies, and it
goes without saying that Georgia will
make one of the finest appearances of
all the States in the parade.”

It ia a MJatake.
A gentleman well-known in Albany
showed a Mrilald reporter a letter
yesterday from' a former resident of
tbe Artesian Cify, in which it was
stated that the report was going broad
oast that Albany was filled with pneu
monia and other forms of disease, pe
culiar to cold weather.
The fact that Albany has bad three
deaths of late from pneumonia has
brought to public attention the few
sporadic cases that did exist here, for
they were only such. There were not
ten cases of pneumonia in the oity at
any one time during the month. The
report was probably spread by drum
mers, who, when passing through the
city heard that there was some pneu
monia in the oity, and the report grew
by frequent repetitions until they had
Albany a hotbed of disease.
Wherever it came from, or who ever
told it, it is a mistake.
It seems that another northern bliz
zard has started this way. Its 40 be
low in Michigan, and' that much'cold
weather is liable to spread out and
give the entire country a taste.

The Herald of last Friday reported
tile arrest in this oity of 8.’11. and C.
It. Harris, and fold an ugly story about
their skipping out from Seville with
about $700 in money, after making way
with a stock of goods belonging to
other parties.
Mr. 8. Hi Harris called at the Her
ald office late Saturday afternoon in
oompany with Mr. J. F. Fairolotb, of
Seville, and mado n statement which
sntifles us that the article in Friday’s
Huhald placed him in a falso light,
and reflected unjustly upon him so
far as any connection with the myste
rious disappearance of the goods Is con
cerned. Mr. Fairolotb is one of the
parties interested, and it was upon a
warrant sworn out by him that the
Harrises were pursued and arrested,
and he now says that he is satisfied
that Mr. S. B. Harris has done nothing
dishonorable in oonnectimi with the
stock, of merchandise,
It is true, as stated in the Herald,
that 8. It. and C. It. Harris did flee
from arrest and come down Flint river
Ip a batteau, having previously ex
pressed their trunks ahead of them to
this city, hut it now nppears that they
were fleeing from arrest on ne.oount
of true bills found againstthem by the
grand jury of Wilcox county for sell
ing liquor in a dry county, rather
than for the cause alleged in the arti
cle whioh told of their arrest. And,
It further appears, that there are ex
tenuating olrnumstanqes connected
with their trouble growing out,of the
liquor business. It seems that an aot
was passed by the Legislature which
was intended Ip prohibit the sale of
liquor in Wilcox, county. Tbe consti
tutionality of tbe aot was questioned,
however, abd the ordinary Issued li
censes to several dealers, the Harrises
being qf the n umbel'. They paid their
licenses—Stale, county and Internal
Revenue—and proceeded to sellliquor,
disregarding the act of the Legisla
ture. When tht grand jury met, how
ever, true bills were found against
every one who had disregarded the
new law, and under these indictments
those who were'tried were fined
heavily by the court. Meantime the
Harrises hud closed out their business
at Seville, and had moved over to
Oglethorpe, where they opened a store.
The news reached them there that
warrants were out for them and that
those who had been tried for the same
offense with which they were charged
had been fined very heavily. Rather
than be arrested and stand trial, the
Harrises skipped; but Mr. S.3. Harris
now Bhows that before leaving Ogle
thorpe be wrote to Mr. Fairolotb, who
was interested in the business, advis
ing him of his departure, and telling
him (Fairdoth) to go ut once to Ogle
thorpe and look after hip interest.
IV hen Mr. Fairdoth went to tlgle-
thprpe he found that the store had
been gutted and that some of tho
goods bad been sold off regardless of
cost, while those that had not been
sold bad been hauled off into the
oountry. He then swore out the war
rants for the arrest of the Harrises,
but now comes with Mr. S. R. Harris
and tells the Herald that he took this
step for,‘the purpose only of bringing
them hack and getting the mqtter
straightened out. He says that he
found out that the goods had been
made way with after the Harris boys
left, and that he wanted S. R. Harris
back so as to have a competent wit
ness as to what goods he- had left In
the store, etc., etc, V
The Herald takes pleasure in giv
ing Mr. Harris the benefit of this
statement. While he said he could at
tach no ; ,blame to the Herald for pub
lishing the statement of facts ob
tained from reliable parties on Fri
day, he seemed to he deeply humiliat
ed in the midst of the surroundings,
and said that he was going back to
Oglethorpe with Mr. Fairdoth and
straighten out the whole matter sq far
as his connection with / the business
there was concerned.
What about the other Harris? is a
question whioh tbe reader may want
to ask. All that we can say is that he
has not appeared to speak for himself,
and neither 8. R. Harris nor Mr. Fair-
cloth seemed disposed to speak for him.
Hon. Don M. Dickinson arrived in
Washington from New York on Tues
day, and it is understood that be has
gone to tbe capitol as a sort of envoy
of Mr. Cleveland. He spent some time
oh the floor of the House on Wednes
day discussing the silyer question
with Congressmen. He is very anx
ious for the repeal of the Silver pur
chasing law, and has even gone so far
as to intimate that unless some dispo
sition is made of the sliver question at
this session, Mr. Cleveland will be
forced to call an extra session for the
purpose of repealing the Sherman-law.
Mr. Dickinson Jias no doubt learned by
this time that there is no probability
of the repeal of the Sherman law by
'*■ it, Congress.

From Friday's Evening Heralil.
Two . young men or boys—for they
are mere lads—named C. B. and S. B.
Harris,, stepped off the Cordele train
when it rolled Into this oity to-day,
and right into the arms of Chief of
Folioe Gorday, of Seavilie, a small,
town on the S. A.&. M. road.
The two Harris boys arc cousins, and
have been clerking in a store at.Sea-
ville which was owned by three farm
ers. Tfie farmers bought the. goods
and pift the boys in the store to run
the business.
All went well for a time, but a few
dayB ago the two young olerkB, who
are cousins, suddenly disappeared, and
an investigation revealed the faot that
they had left very little in tbe store.
It scemk that they sold out goods to
the amount of about $700 and
skipped; with the money. At
Montezuma they shipped their trunks
by rail to Albany, and they themselves
embarked down the river in a batteau,
At Oakfleld they left their boat and
came into Albany on the Cordele road,
arrivl ng here at 11 o’olook to-day. ’
Chief of Polioe Gorday, of Seavilie,
had beeb put on their trail, and had
preoeded them to this oity. With Mr.
W. Eason Smith at his side, he was in
the right place when the Smith boys
aligbtefi.from the train, and they were
quietly arrested.
The young runaways will bp taken
baok to Seavilie to-night, leaving here
in oharge of Ofllcer Gorday on the Cor
dele train at 4il5.
The Smith boya are well conneoted,
and the probability Is that tbe ugly
affair that they have made for them
selves will bo settled whin, they get
baokhdme. '
TBI OTVIE SIRE OF THE
HAWAII BUSINESS.
Thomas Evans, a commissioned ofil-
cer' of Queen Llltoukalanl, of Hawaii,
who isfjt/ present visiting relatives in
Chicago, lii a published interview
throws considerable light on the
Hawaiian trouble, and suggests that it
would be well for the people of the
United States to look a little belowthe
surface for tbe real oauscs leading to
the revolution before committing
themselves to the proposed annexation
of the islands.
Mr. Evans is quoted as follows:
“It should be borne in mind that the
ouroe of information given to the
press is from the committee of revolu
tionists now on their way to Wash
ington to present their side of tbe
esse to the government, and ask its
interference in this way. They did
not wait for the regular mall steamer,
whioh is fine to arrive at San Fran
cisco February 8tb, but chartered a
special steamer so as to have tHeir
exparte statements and views laid be
fore the American people before the
other side had a similar opportunity.
That there is another side goes with
out saying, or suoh; haste would not
have been made in presenting their
case. It would be well, therefore, to
suspend judgment, until after we are
in possession of more and fuller in
formation as to what the people of
Hawaii want, and to what extent this
commission represents their views.
“This revolution has been brought
about by interested parties with the
view of improving their financial con-
dition by inducing the United States
to restore to them tbe advantages
they received under the. reciprocity
treaty previous to the. passage of, the
McKinley bill. Under this treaty
Hawaiian sugar was admitted into the
United States free of duty, and plant
ers are matting from 75 to 100 per oent.
on their plantation investments. TIiIb
remission of duty on the part of the
United States hak amounted to some
thing like $6,000,000 a year, whioh has
gone into the pOokets ef'but thirty or
forty men. Now, thdt not more than

- Hawaii has, in addition to its ignor
ant natives, a population of about
20,000 coolies of tbe very lowest type
whom the United States would not
like lo admit to citizenship. Hawaii
also has a dept of something like three
millions of dollars, mostly held in
England, which Uncle Sam would
have to assume in taking charge of the
islands. MUTIITiM
Smith Clatton well -known itrGeor-
gls, is preparing a series of satirical

tbe whereabouts of Jay Gould. Smith
is a satirist of no mean, ability, pnd he

MELON GROWERS ADMONIMMUD

Mr. S. M. Gridin, through the col
umns of tl|e Quitman Free Press,gives
melon growers the followingadvice:
“From the best i n formation 'obtains-.
ole, an Immense acreage will be plant
ed in melons this year. Reports come
in from ail directions that all the
available lands will be put in melons.
Some contemplate planting six and
seven miles from their loading
point. I want to advise agairnt
any one planting more than
they can afford to lose. VVe all re
member that last fall' there were a
few eases of cholera ip the United
States,. Cholera,still ijjtists In' Europe,
and If we;shonld have' a few cases in
this oountry next M»y or June, t|n
gates' of. all .the largo oi ties, would, in
closed against us. That being the
case, our loss would be great, j Besides
a half orop is more remunerative than

The appointment of Judge Howell
E. Jackson, of Tennessee, to suooeed
the late Assooiate Justice L. Q. 0. La
mar, wh<eh was announced inn speoifil.
to the Herald of; yesterday, was a
general surprise to the oountry, and
an agreeable one to the Democrats. It
bad been reported the day before tho.t
President Harrison had determined to
appoint Judge Pardee, of New Or
leans, and It is now known that the ap
pointment had really been flllcfi,,out
add laid aside, to be sent to the.Seriate
on Thursday; hut the change was af
terwards made at tbe request of the
members of tho Supreme Court,
Through Justloe Brown the members
of themourt conveyed to tjbe President
their advice, whioh was that they
should appoint Judge. Jaokson., Their
argument was expedient, for the Presi
dent, infismuob as he had already ap
pointed three Republicans tp. the Su
preme Court and was, aware that tbe
only two Democrats on the court
would probably retire, decided to re
place a Democrat with ,a Democrat
who would undoubtedly be conflrm.efi.
So, after all, we are indebted to the
members of the Supreme Court, rather
than toany magnanimity upon ;the
part .of, President Harrison, for the
appointment of a Democrat,to till J|is-
tlcrt'L'amar’s plane. ,
Chautauqua this sedaoh promises to'
surpass the assemblies of past years,
and the probability is that each year
will continue to bring advancements
and' Improvements which before
were ' not thought of. The
institution as connected witii Al
bany has become firmly established
now in tbe hearts of the people, and It
is a time which they anticipate with
a great deal, of delight. It a
great recreatipn^to the people after a
year’s routine, and it ’giiies an addfid
impetus to life, activity and business
■aftei it is gone. " Thus to a certain
extent, Albany people have chine to be
fiependent on 4;be. Chautauqua assem
bly, and . it is safe, to. say that it
s. now ons of the permanent
irtd established institutions of
Albany, the decay of whioh will
never be tolerated by the people. They
will he satisfied pnijr with its progress
and advancement.
