PROFESSIONAL JURVRBN.
If there is any olass of men that de
serve to be sat down upon it is that
class that pose as professional Jury
men.
The present term of Dougherty Su
perior Court has served to bring them
out In full force, and they hangaround
the Court House with a persistency
and perseverence which, if a'med at
some laudable pursuit, would, in the
natural order of things, assure more
than a gratifying success.
By professional Jurymen wo mean
to embrace only that class of men who
hnrilly ever do anything during the
year except loiter around the Court
House on court weeks with llie lio,.e
that they will be caught on tlie Ju.
in order to make the small amount of
$2 a day at what they are pier led to
term a snap of a Job.
This county Is not the only one In
the State that has to contend with th's
element. The same slate of affairs ob
tains elsewhere—inmost in every
county in Genrg'a, and It seems thit
It is about impossible to get rid o.
them. In some instances they have
actually been known to go to tho offi
cers of the court anil ask to be
placed on the Jury. As humiliatirg
as It may seem, they have done this.
They will not take n rebuff, and tho
only wny in which to deal succe-sfu'ly
with them la to ignore them altogether,
But the IIkkai.u is glad to give pub
licity to the fact that the professional
Juryman Is playing out In Dougherty
county. The vocation tins about been
broken up, and the ranks have been
nnrroweddnwn to a few—a very few
stragglers, and they are frst finding
out thnt they have run their race.
If, In the future, they want to listen
to the court proceedings it will not be
nt the county’s expense. They are
well known to the county officers, and
their role ns Jurymen has fagged out

It transpires that some of the Sena
tors actually used stimulants during
the night session. Thnt’s a broad as
sertion, but sonic people will believe it.
It Is predicted that Atlanta politics
arc going to be warm next year. It's
a long tlmo off yet, and the runne. u
will hnvo plenty of time to get well
boated.

ALBANY WE:
ALD: SATURDAY OCTOBER 21, 1893.
A (SUNDAY PAPER FOR ALOAJVT.
Albany is now without any Sunday
paper, and, for the purpose of supply
ing an apparent demand and filling a
conspicuous vacancy in tha field of
local Journalism, the Hke.ld will be
gin the publication of a Sunday paper
on next Sunday morning.
The people of Albany need and de
serve a Sunday morning paper, and
the Herald has determined that they
shall have it.
The Daily Eveninq Herald and
the Weekly Herald will be continued
ns heretofore, and will not be affected
In nny way by the publication; of the
Sunday morning IIbrald, although
the three distinct editions will be
under one and the same management
and will be co-operative as far as
practicable.
T. e Aliiany Sunday Herald will
be larger than the daily evening edi
tion of the paper, and will have special
Sunday fentures nnd a regular tele
graphic service. Its telegraphic ser
vice will cover tho news from tlie
time the dispatches to Saturday even
ing’s Hbralr close until Sunday
morning, and will be a more extensive
service than the Eyenino Herald is
now getting.
The subscription price of the Al
bany Sunday Uebai.d will be $1 a
y 'nr. The Daily Evening Herald
and the Sunday Herald together
will bo $0 a year.
Subscriptions for the Sunday Her
ald alone, or for the Sunday Herald
In connection with the Eveninq Her
ald, nre now solicited. Advertise
ments for the Sunday Herald are
also solicited, and we promise the peo
ple of Albany a Sunday paper that
will reflect credit upon the city, nnd
be worthy of their patronage.
An expert physioian at Brunswick
has given it ns his opinion thnt Ne
groes cannot become immunes from
yellow fever.
The Senate continues a lively affair
to be in a deadlock. President Cleve
land should turn over tho key to tho
situation, ns he seems to hold it.
The Memphis mass meeting thatde-
notineed President Cleveland was com
posed almost exclusively of Moss-back
Democrats. Verily, things and peo
ple have changed wonderfully Bince
this time last year.
Senator Frye, of Maine, was gump
enough the other day to say out loud
that tlie “Senate of the United States
is the most dignified body in the
world.” Then everybody in the house
laughed. And it shows that “laugh
ing is catching,” as everybody is
tickled nt the Joke.
Through its correspondents in the
different counties in the South, the
Atlanta Constitution has estimated
the cotton orop, this year, to 15 to 20
per cent, short of last year’s yield.
That’s good. Now it would be the
correct thing to cut it down next year
to one-half, and double the yield of
eorn and hogs. Herein lies the salva
tion of the farmers of the South.
Congressman Livingston and some
of his friends seem to think that the
reason Postmaster-General Bissell
pays so little attention to the appeals
from Mr. Livingston for the removal
of Republican postmasters in parts of
Georgia is that Mr. Bissell desires to
punish Col. Livingston because of his
views on silver. It has been whisper
ed around that tlie Postmaster-Gen-
ral “has it ill” for the whole State on
this score.
Recently a race of some thirty
miles was run in Germany between a
bicyclist and a thoroughbred race
horse under saddle. The man on the
wheel won. The object, says the Sn-
vnnnah News, was to test whether
training for races made a thorough
bred horse a good “stayer” or merely a
sprinter. During tlie first part of the
race tlie horse ran away from the man,
but as the miles were left behind the
mail closed up the gap and quit nil
easy winner. Buffalo Bill's challenge
for a two-hour’s race between one of
his horses and an athlete on a wheel
will probably result in a test of
“bottom,” or staying power, in tlie
horse after different training. Buffa
lo Bill’s horses are from tlie plains of
the west; not beauties ail, but wonders
for strength and endurance. Their
training lias been of a totally different
character from the track racers, and
one of them may be able to accomplish
against the flying wheel what the high
strung thoroughbreds failed to do.
BUY TIMES ARB IIA CD.
From the Dalton Argus.
A plain old farmer, of Sumter coun
ty, in Southwest Georgia, steps to the
front and gives in the Americus
Times-Recorder his opinion as to why
times are hard. Ho says:
*-Tliere is so much being said in the country
about haul times and tile scarcity of money nnd
as everybody has a cause and knows a ruinedy,
I thought l would write lo toll your renders
what I think ts the cause. The double Is. we
buy more than we produce. Tiiero Is too much
flour nnd haenn shipped here evory year. The
things we ought to mako at homo wo are buy
ing.
“Wo lot our timber rot nnd liny our plow-
stocks, singletrees, ax handles, boo handles and
fencing,
“Wo thiow away our ashes and buy our soap
and axle grease.
“We give aivuy our beef bides and buy linnic
strings and slu-c strings.
“We let our mnnuro go to wasto and buy
guano.
‘Wo buy gulden seed in tho spring and cab-
bago in the winter.
‘•We lot our lands grow up ill weeds nnd buy
our blooms.
“We let the wax out of our pine nnd gum
• ices go to waste and buy showing gum for thu
oiilidren.
“We build school houses and hive tuaclicl
and send otiroliHdrcn o,T to be educated.
“Wo land a I-cant fish with a ft Ashing rod.
Wo send a ia.ee it hoy out with u 120 gun and
a (4 dog to kill bin’s.
*'\Ve lelsodo.is and buy wool.
“And nbo ,t tbo only thing in tills country
that .hero is an ovor production of la politic
and dogbica.”
Tlie old farmer is right—a lack of
sound, sensible economy, and an over
production of politics go a long ways
toward making times hard. Perhaps,
in connection with Sam Jones’ reason
—too much debtand too little product,
too many people living beyond their
means, and too many non-producers—
the old farmer furnishes the real cause
of hard times.
There certainly is food for much
thought in tlie old farmer’s reason’s,
Many of us are simply hard-up be
cause we are improvident and lazy.
The Vigilant made it threestraights,
and the Englishmen are hunting up
their “ifs.”
The Journal has again drawn the
deadly parallel on the Constitution
When one of them leaves the gap
down the other is not slow to jump in.
Judge Hudson has again declared
against South Carolina’s dispensary
law—saying it is unconstitutional.
The matter will probably go to the
Supreme Court.
What wonderful news! It rends
like some inexplicable dream. The
Senate has—with intent aforethought
—nctually voted once since it has been
in session, and that was yesterday
morning. And thus the cold snap and
storms are accounted for.
Tpe Savannah Press hits the pro
verbial nail a heavy lick in the fol
lowing: “As soon ns business men
determine to boom tlieir city they
form a bureau and advertise it. Vet
many of them fail to see that the same
principle holds good In their private
business. They expect it to “boom”
by hiding their light under a bushel.”
Some people are mean enough to do
almost anything. Take, for instance,
the fiendish prank of some parties In
Walker county, the other day. An
old man by the name of Ryan, had a
oountry cross-road blaok smith shop.
Ho incurred the enmity of some one,
and to be avenged, a chunk of dyna
mite was placed in the forge at the
shop. Mr. Ryan may recover, but his
son will be buried as soon as the re
mains oan be gotten together.
Pk.AINI.ir DEMON* r RATED.
Chicago day at the World’s Fa’r
was a world beater. It outstrips all
other days of which we have any reo
ord, domestic or foreign, ancient or
modern. The great days of which wc
have the exact figures were the great
est days of the Paris exposition and
the Centennial. They were: Paris,
297,150, Centennial, 217, 526. Both
combined were 614,676. The attend
ance Chicago day was 751,026, or 136,-
350 more than Paris and Philadelphia
put together.
Secretary of the Interior Hoke
Smith hns pruned the fraudulent pen
sion roll until his estimate for the pen
sions to be paid for the next fiscal
yenr will be $3,000,000 less than the
sum asked for last yenr. Economy has
been enforced in every department of
the Government since the Democratic
party tins had elmvge of affairs at
Washington, hut in no department has
there been better work done on this
line than in that over which Secretary
Smith rules.
One of Ike VrighteNt.
From tho Darien Gazette.
Henry McIntosh, of the Albany
Herald, continues to get out one of
the brightest papers in this great land
of ours.
If you are worn out, run down and
nervous, Magnetic Nervine will re
store your health. Sold by Sales-
Davis Drug Co.
Under the above heading, the Way-
cross Herald states a case and draws
a moral as follows:
“The suspension of the News and
Advertiser again demonstrates the fact
that a town the size of Albany canuot
or will not support two papers. When
the patronage of a town like Albany
is divided up and the merchants begin
to send off for tbeir job work, then
you may be sure somebody is bound to
be hurt. Anditisotily a question of
time when the town will have a very
poor paper or no paper at all. The
fear of being compelled to retire !•' the
face of ail enemy often Induces a pub
lisher to hold on when he is really
losing money, and he continues to
blow about his large circulation and
the press of job work when the fact is
that the workmen are unpaid aud
rations are scare. The conditions,
however, which surround villages such
as Albany are not applicable to the
Magic City. Here we have live papers,
one daily, two weeklies and two
monthlies, and ever and anon you can
see five or six drummers for job work
from adjacent cities sitting ou one log
writing up their multitudinous
orders. And still the whole
batch of us nre healthy, happy and
prosperous; at any rate we are busy—
that much is certain. Jesting aside,
however, the prop,..ltion is good that
the newspaper business can easily be
overdone. The publishing of a paper
in a town ts to some extent a public
enterprise; the publio is dependent on
it for much, and the publio should give
to it the proper amount of encourage
ment and patronage. With all its im
perfections let us ask, how could Way-
cross get along without its Evening
Herald? We don’t want your money
for nothing, and this short tale has a
Moral: Subsorlbe for the Herald.
Send in your orders for job work and
advertise your business.
AN AN INTELLIGENT HEATHEN
KEEN EH.
■ mprexalons of Ihe lVorlil’n Fair nod
America la Geaeral br I’nru-
eholaui Rao Tolling*
From tho Cl-'c. ,;o Inior Ocean,
A very quaint and in many ways an
amusing little pamphlet hns come to
hand. It is “A World's Fair Souve
nir,” being “Impressions of the
World’s Falrand America ill General,”
by that scholarly, high caste Brahmin,
Purushotam Rao Telang, who lost his
oaste between here and Bombay
by reason of his earnestness to see the
Western world. Arriving in this
country he proceeded to open his eyes
observingly, hut be paid attention
chiefly to those things gathered for the
delectation of the curious into the ex
aggerated parallelogram known as the
Midway Plaisunce. Of the manners,
oustoms, and conditions of that world
in little he writes with all the guile
lessness of a naive maiden, yet mana
ges now and then to drop in a caustic
criticism that shows him to be not all
dove.
He will run on for several pages re
cording his wonderment of the “criers”
in front of booths and buildings noisily
enticing the publio to enter, and while
we are smiling at his ingenuousness
he will suddenly touch off an Ameri
can failing thus:
This is a clviCzed Nat-on and a mnn from the
East has no right lo 0 Iffc'so it. I?n!’-naked,
lL'e-sixed picnics o’ women in nil nos.iiies cpii
be exhibited in-no 8.-1 eels for ndve using, nnd
lnliiiaiuic postc:scan be discibuled In eignr-
etie boxes. This is for advertising, o* course.
An aclroBS oan come halt nuked on ,ho etege
and eland in all tho pos. ores site can make by
bending her body. Sbo ca.i worr lights tbo
color of tho body and lain sh'.-is without arms
andcome bofoio the audience wi.h half cov
ered breast. On the loins -ueie is a smell pieco
of cloth with man. ci“ vos. Sho looks Horn a
distance quite naked. Theie is no shame in this.
It is all modesty. Rich ladies and sen.lemen,
with very high notions 0! modes:y and morali
ty, can go to the -heater and enjoy the sight of
too ha), naked actress.
From this to the theatrioal orohestra
that generally attends the “half-naked
actress 1 ’ is an easy step of criticism:
Men who are paid for dealing noise and dis*
cordin'c iio„'»e, I mean to piny music, play on
their i^s .rumenis mercilessly. Thee have a
book bo/oi'o each of them; each lookB at his
book and plays the notes which, when combined
together, create such a noise and discordant
no*cs that I could not stand there. The piano,
the harp, tho violin, tho clarionet nnd many
kinds of bugles, all mercilessly placed together,
create the most botheiso’iie noise. Of course,
now and then I could hear some bsrmoaious
notes, but it seemed to me ihpt the men had
pioduced them liy mistake and not knowingly.
Still lie is gracious enough to say
that the Eastern and Western worlds
have cultivated different tastes for
music. Altogether Telang has given
us a very amusing little account of the
Midway, and dropped in something
that might profit us in the way of see-
lug ourselves as the heathen see us.
