The on’y effect that, we have noted is tbat the cost of legislation is in creased. Such legislation as af fects only certain counties, or spe cific localities of designated coun ties could, we believe, be advanta geously relegated to the authori ties of such counties for settle ment, under a common law cover ing such cases. Or, if this is thought to be impracticable, it could certainly be so arranged that the cost of special local legislation will be paid by the counties ask ing for such laws. So far as act ual government is concerned, all counties should be operated under the same law, but if a county de sires an officer, or a law not com mon with other counties, that county should be allowed to de termine the matter within • its bor ders, or else bear the expense in curred in passing a special bill. We believe the better sentiment of the state demands the passage of a general local option bill, and we know, that such action would admirably serve the economic in terests of the state. We believe in prohibition only when brought about by a vote of the people. The enforcement of a law depends upon the sentiment of the people to wards it. A law put upon a peo ple against their will, or without their consen, will be evaded when ever opportunity offers. In every county in the State of Georgia .where .the sale of whisky has been prohibited by local option, abun dant testimony is given concern- . ing the good results that have fol lowed. We would gladly know that every bar-room in Georgia had been'closed, and we believe that the time is hot far distant when such will be the case. -The temperance advocates in Georgia are earnest, though not fanatical. They do not propose to make a po litical issue of their work, but- have no objection to making tem perance men of the politicians. A state registration law is asked for by the people in many sec tions of the state, and the proba bilities are that such’ a law will be considered. Properly environed, it wonld serve as a strong safe guard to the people in choosing good and capable men to adminis ter the governmental'affairs of the state. 1 . A due regard for justice and equality in taxation demands a change in'the-law governing the Valuation of property for taxation in "the various counties of the State. Our theory is that tax as sessors, by state authority in each county, -would effectually serve the purpose.- With - all all property re turned for taxation-at its true mar ket value, the honest: men would be protected' against the unscrupu lous, and the rate of-taxation would be reduced in proportion to the in crease in the aggregate valuation. •Beyond this, equalization in taxa tion would result, and the burden would be in just proportion to the possessions of taxpayers. We deem it useless to urge the passage of a dog law, yet we be lieve; that-dogs should be taxed) or else all protection of law be with drawn. If dogs are not property, we see no reason why they should be held ip higher esteem by law than mules. There will be important finan cial work to be done, and we trust the best interests of the State will be wisely and honestly served. It is probable that the railroad law will be amended, and we see no just reasons why the powers of members of the speh-seork.

Editor: A very timely editorial on the subject of “Mod em Colleges” appeared in your your paper last week. It vould have been, timely thirty years ago, or any day since. S.hamof the flimsiest sort has characterized the colleges and other schools all these years. Faculties, and boards of trustees, and patrons, and pu pils, and “lookers on in Yienua,” all admit that this is true, and pretend to deplore it. None of them, however, attempt to do more than talk in confidential under tone of the great evil. It is won derful in the first place that sham becomes the mode at all, wonder ful that it is perpetrated, and won derful that it excites the enthusi asm of men and women who claim i to abhor it. Yerily if one should make an open and vigorous attack upon it, these very people, many of them, would stoutly oppose the interference. It is especially gratifying to learn that the moth er of colleges for women,has taken one good step in the direction of reform. That her face is turned the way she steps, justifies the expectation that she will go for ward steadily. She will not here after allow the costly floral ex pressions of personal and imj erti- nent favoritism to come upon the rostrum. Flowers are very beau tiful, and their silent language is the true speech of the muses, and none of us would exclude them from any place, but it seems inap propriate to employ these almost sacred things for the expression of rank partisanship. Let us hope that other follies which work harm, will be relega ted to the sheol of things that were, and that the importance of practical education, as well as the exceeding foolishness of mere dis play, will come to be appreciated by a people who claim to be en lightened.

It contains many pretty designs for Laces, both knitted and crocheted, among which are the directions with il lustrations of corners for Antique Lace and the insertion, which will prove serviceable for various arti cles; a pattern of shoulder cape, how to make ball fringe, etc. The suggestions given on how to make money at Bazaars is well worth the dollar, which is the price of subscription for the year.

Address; Dorcas, 872 Broadway, New York City. _ A MEEting will be held in Hawk- insville next Saturday, for the purpose of considering the practi cability of building a railroad from Dublin to HawMhsville. The route has been canvassed by com mittees from Hawkinsyille and Cochran, and the reports made will doubtless determine the fu-; ture action to be taken. The road would open an excellent scope of country, and to Hawkinsyille much benefit would result. as ent J. H. W. Jasper are now the publishers. -Ex-Congressman Thomas Har deman, of Macon, is an applicant for the postmastership of that city. His friends are actively pushing his claims, and it is thought he will be successful. The negro editors in Atlanta are in a pretty tight place on account of libellous attacks upon leading citizens of that city. They de serve positions bn the chain-gang, and we believe they will get them. Mr. C. W. Hancock announces that his paper, the Americas Re publican, will be issued as a daily on and after the 1st of September. Success to the enterprise. —The Yaldosta News has sus penclecL Greensboro is now without tele graphic communication with the outside world, the office at that place having been discontinued. There will be four candidates in the field for the Columbus Mayor alty, and tliej contest promises to be warm and exciting. There is a rumor to the effect tbat a stock company will estab lish a match factory in Barnes- ville. Dr. John W. Heidt, of La- Grange, has accepted the impor tant position of Regent of the Southwestern University of Texas. Among the shipments from Brunswick last week were 676 legs of black walnut, valued at $17,900. They weie shipped down from Tennessee via the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia, and were bound for Germany. At its recent meeting the Board of Trustees of Mercer University, directed the immediate erection of four new buildings for the use of boarding students. The plans for the buildings are being made, and the work will be commenced in a few days. They will be erected in the present mess hall enclosure: The directors of the Macon Cot ton Seed Oil Mill Company had their annual meeting Friday. The business of the concern was found to be in a prosperous condition, and a handsome dividend was de clared. It was determined to take immediate steps to enlarge the business. An immense building for the manufacture of fertilizers will be erected, and a building for the manufacture of soap will also be constructed. 3need postal rates went » effect yesterday.
