Evening Hkrald. 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.” The Herald Job Office Keep* up with the procession, and is prepared to compete with any print ing bouse in the State, not only as to style and quality of work, but, In prices.

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. ■ About 1500 choice grape roots of different varieties, especially Concord and Niagara for sale, Also fine lettuce . plants, 25 cents per 100. Call or write I to J. M. Tift, 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. TWO rOIJNCl CLERKS IN TROUBLE ii X •« .. iiu They Soil! Out a Nloch of Ooeih And I.eft Win, the Uloney And Twh Well Filled Trunhe-Thetr Arreet In Albany Te- dny. 1 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 10 per oent. can be miide orf sugar cul tivation, t| ‘ ‘ -. ■ cite himsei things. vantage pf 2 dents per pi anfi to get this he is ready to sacrifice the Hawaiian queen, tne Hawaiian people and everything and everybody else.” i / - 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 lectures upon current topics, such as tbe whereabouts of Jay Gould. Smith is a satirist of no mean, ability, pnd he will probably drop some interesting and catchy slang upon the occasion of his appearance before the public.

The Baker Counlr Election to Ho Bo- fore the Uoreruor. The contested election oaso between Messrs. J. M. Solana and Olias. Norris, who were opponents in tho race for treasurer of Baker county, wns wound up last night,and the testimony will be sent to the Governor at an early date, The oontest has been going on for several days past, having opened up during the flrst of the week. Mr. Solana wrb represented by Messrs. Jones and Walters, of Albany, while Messrs. A. L. Hawes, of Bain bridge, and J. L. Johnson, of Newton, will look aftlr Mr, Norris’ interests, There wore over ono hundred wit nesses in the case, all of whom had to be examined, most of the voters Inthe election being ealled upon to give their testimony, Tho ease was heard before Judge John O. Ferry, o'f Uakcr county, and Justice P. L. Wilburn, while Superior Court Stenographer Bus sey took the testimony. It will take him about a week to writo it out and get it in shape, when it will bo sont to Governor Northen who will deoide whioh df the contestants is entitled to tho office of ooiinty treasurer of Baker. It will be remembered that tho elec tion returns showed tho eleotion of Mr. Norris. A lot of fuss, indeed, to make over [a $100 job. MELON GROWERS ADMONIMMUD Nat to Plnat Too Ilearlly Till* Year* 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,.

That being the case, our loss would be great, j Besides a half orop is more remunerative than a heavy orop, and muoh more satisfac tory to handle.”, ; .... ^ - ' ■ ■' ‘ 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.
