Q. M. ttarner, of Gwinnett de
livered the first l>ats of cotton (o
Hi our Mono lain last Monday.
Reports from Southern iieorgia
represent. that there is great des~
tructiou iu the cotton crop by Oat
terpillars. Some of the beat
farmers say their shortage will
amount to a t least one third
There is uo doubt, from the univer
sality of those reports that the
destruction is fearful’
A father and son by ihe name
of Maxwell, undertook to whip the
son in law, Shelton, who had run
away with Maxwells daughter and
married her, in Atlanta last week.
The fight resulted in Shelton and
the old man being badly bruised
and young Maxwell is lying at
death’a door with bis skull fractur
ed in several places The strange
est part of the affair is that a me
chanic, whom ncbdy knew, joined
ia the fight and with a hammer
felled young Maxwell to the ground
while he was defying the crowd
wi/h two pistole.
Faiifield county, in South Caro
lina has a band of regulators who
are driving from the community a
number of men aid women, who
aie practical miseegenationists.
There are a number of wfaitu men
who have negro families and some
white women so debased as to ac
cept the attention of negro men.
The regulators are moving them
out with a high hand. Some of
these men are wealthy bui still
the* have to gc: A community
has the right to protect itself but
is there uo law to which they can
resort.
A bill has passed the Senate pro
viding for the registration of vo
ters in any County in this State
upon recommendation of '.heOrand
Jury. Ever since tte war there
has been efforis made to l ave a
registration law enacted, but it
bas always beeu defeated, for the
reason that many members'did not
want the opportunity for frauds
cut off The objection lo this law
is that there is two much law mak
ing power vested iu Grand Juries.
Upon these important matters we
think the Legislature should shout
der the responsibility and if a law
is a good one pass it, if not defeat
it. In a few years, if we continue
in the course we are going, ihe
people will have to do the L gis
Jating at the ballot box or bv
grand juries, while the Legislature
will meet tofrolick
The Telegraph & Messenger
has for some lime been urging
and insisting upon an investiga
tion of the means by which the
Georgia Pacific K. R. secured the
right of way into the General Pas
aenger Depot iu Ai/anta. It is
generally understood that the
purpose of the movers of this mat
ter is to make an attack upon Gov-
Colquitt, It i« hinted, for his ene
lines do uot dare to charge it, that
Colquitt was bribed to sacrifice
the State’s interest But it would
seem that the Legislature must
have been bribed too, for the aus
thorny to occupy a portion of the
right of way of the State Road
was expressly authorized and pro
vided for by an act of tbe Legits*
la/ure
It will be remembered that
there was a big fight made over
this very question at the time the
charter for this rac d was granted
and alter mature deli aeration the
General Assembly provided for
this road occupying part of the
right of way.
The r. AM, has been a long
time getting mad It reminds us
of an old citizen of this county
who was such a strong Union man
that he never got mad enough tw
fight until about a year after the
close of the war, ard then he want
«d to whip the Yankees all by him
aelf. Pro aably if there was not
aome hope of stabbing Colquitt an
der tbe fifth lib, we would not hear
anything of it cow
THE NEW CIRCUIT.
Ah stated last week, a new cir
cuit has been create* 1 by the Leg
ialalure, composed of the counties
of DeKalb and Clayton. The pur
pose of cieating this new ci'cuit
was to enable the Jugde to assist
in working off the accumulated
business upon Uie docket of Ful
ton Superior Court. As we look
at the matter, there was no real
neoaaeitj for this new circuit. The
counties of DeKalb aid Clay ton
could hare been attached to other
circuits, which would have made
Holton county, a circuit in itself,
and the Judge would have had
nothin? to do but to bold c <uit
g)l the year round, if tbe people
wanted such a court.
Bui the legislature determined
otherwise, and established the cir
cuit, and last Friday preceeded to
elect a Judge. The cat.didates
were L. J. Wiun r *»of DeKalb, It.
11. Clark, and W. I. Hat wood.
Judge (Hark, was elected Judge
and H C Jones, <>f DeKalb, was
elected Solicitor.
Judge Clark is a citizen of, Fu’
too county, and there is consider
ub'b fee ing over* the selection of
an Atlanta man, to preside in a
circuit where he does not live.
I'here is probably no cormlituti m
al objection to it in express terms
but is eontraiy to all precedent in
this State untier our present sys
tem .
The citizens of the other coun
ties have a f'gbt to be dissatisfied.
Atlanta could probably fu'insh
judges for the enliie State, Init
the people would me up in rebell
ion against it. Vnd there is just
a-* much reason for providing uie
Western or Blue Ridge circuit
with an Allanta Judge as this new
circuit. We ty.duabtud there is
a very strong feeling in Dr Kalb
in favor of hfcving heir county at
tached to this circuit.
THE LOCAL OPTION BILL

came from the Senate, nd is a

THE ARMSTRONG SC AN DAI.
Dr. Armstrong, an Episcopal
.minister of Atlanta, and pastor of
a leading church iu tlmt city lias
oeu l fie Kubject of much scandal
recently /, ’was published that
while on hi - summer yacutiah, be
was found iu Cincinnati! drunk
and visitiug houses of ill fame.
Such a report hr tins naturally
stirred up quite a breeze among
his members and h committee was
appointed io visit Cim-iiina Ii and
investigate the truth of these ru
mors,
Tbeir investigation dtveioped
the following facts : While the
Dr. was in charge of a church in
Ricinnoud, a lawyer was excluded
from the cburcii for his oad char
acter. lie af-erwaids removed to
Cincinnatti. He met the Dr in
shat city and informed him that
his niece, had ru« away from
Richmond and was 'hen in a
house of ill fame in that city .
The Dr. announced his purpose of
hunting her up aud rescuing her
if pismbie and for this purpose
got a hack ami commenced Ihe
search, after visi iny several
houses he louud hei aud brought
her away His euemy, who had
secretly waited for an opportun ty
for revenge, put a reporter on his
track who published tie fact of
his visit Lg tLese houses, When
the charge was in ,de Hie Dr. uut
uraily desigue I to keep liis mis
sion private so us on t expo..eh s

hou the coma,it tea had fully

2’HE 7MBERNACLE MEETING
The great tabernacle meeting a:
Cartersville beg.ta last week.
Thousands a e in daily attendance-
Thera are large number of distiu
giiishes ministers in attendance,
but fiie itrepressiple Sam Jones is
the central figure. Every body
wants lo hear him and ho general)'
preaches once or twice a day,
7Tre following extract from one
of his Htirmocs is clipped from a
report in the Constitution:
A SIDE WIPER
After a few remarks, Mr. Jones
paid the following tribute to the
uou praying people:
If I had beeu born woman and
bad married a little fellow that
dulen't have enough seuse to pray
with me and the children, 1 would
go to the legislature and chauge
my name back, and ctauge his
to mine. I nevdr would chauge
my name for such a theng; “As
G'd is my jubge I would make
the little thing take my name, so
people could say lo the thing:
S«y, what was youre name before
you married?" The idea of a man
a great b'g fellow with whiskers
all over his face and sense enough
to keep out of the asylum, and
cun,t keel down night and m irniug
and pray with his wife and children
You little old thing you! Then
there is another case where a malt
thing marries a female “thing” and
there is nothing m the family but
things •—a woman professing to be
a Chris ian and yet letting her
children grow up year after year
and never hear her vo ; ce lifted i n
pray er to god. If yju are wait
ing for God to let the terms down
until heaven is on a level with
hell, you need not wait any longer
if lhat sort of people are on their
way to heaven. I like this no
tense law for plantations but I
dont like it in ieligiou. I like a
high feuse aroud 6rod Almighty
fields to keep tne devil’s goats
out I dont know what to do with
these trilling members wo take iu
every time we make a pass at the
world. Our being pratcular don't
amount lo a thing. The Bapti-.s
ure particular, and we Melodist
a'n't and one gets about as many
trifling members as die other.
CHAIN GANG NIGERS.
I have as mush respect for au
uld chain gang niggei as a Metli
odist or Baptist or /'resby'erian,
mat will play cards and dance.
That is pretty strong aiuf it? well
you quit playing cards and we
will come toge her. May be the
(.Id chain gang nigger never made
any pretentions to religion while
lie people whopofess to love God
do things that have pained bun
1 1 reds and thousands of souls.
That is truth apout it!
You men of the world if I was
you bent on geing to hell 1 would
have all the fun I could on the
way for its going t" be too warm
down there for exercise.
All I ask of yon is to quit thu
tliiugs that are wrong; to shuu
tven the appeaianee of evil. All
<iod wants is for you to quit your
meanness.
BROTHER DIMMOHN DONE Ul*
1 expect you would likk topiing
old demijohn along and be old
Brother Demijohn in heaven
What a manta to pe in heaven
that let b’m be here. Some of
you want to be old Sister Euchre
a id old Brother Euchre and when
the angejs see you coming they’ll
iay yonder comes old Brother
Euchre »Ld old Sister Euchre.
If you ever get to heaven God
has got to back you in. for you
are not heading in that direction.
Another says he waiting for
the feeling. Well the devil preach
es feeling, and the Lord preaches
faith. The devil makes a sinner
believe if he budges before begets
the feeliDg he is a hypocite. There
\va" a fellow with au ax sitting
shivering at the roo! of tree, and
some one said, what are you going
to do! ’ “I’m going to cut this
tree down.
vV’ell why don’t you gef at it?”
•‘l’m waiting to sweat.’’ “Well, if
y ou’ll go to cutting you’ll go to
sweating.” “No I’ll not cut a lick
until I sweat!”
What are you going to do with
a fool like that? If you will get
v.p and start to God you will have
the feeling. What do you mean
by feeling? Do you mean to blub
er and shake? If you do the devil
has got you bamboozled so we
cain’t gei at you. If you mean
erious thought you are righ’. if
! 1 was you I would come out of
that crowd. If 1 was going to hel!
that way I would go down to the
asylum and go as sure enough
idiot.
“i AINT FIT,”
Well another says I am wafting
until lam fi*. Const diet! to save
the tellows that aint sis. Ins' end
of letung that be a bar to keep
you from Christ make it a spring
board off of which you will leap
into the arms of God. .4s God
is my Judge, 1 have never felt tit
to be iu the church, and when at
Felton’s chapel thirteen years ago
I wuikad up and give my baud
and turned my life over lo God, I
never felt more unfit than at that
very moment. I wes losl'jtu so
priety acd shame and all that de
grades a soul and damns the spirit
of man. I reakou the rewsou ho
come to mo so quick and come so
gloriously was thrt mine was a
very urgent case. I axes right at
the gait of hell-almost in hel[!
“Not ti l " is the fitusiesl excuse
that ever lost a soul tiirew into
Ihe face of its maker!
My hope is in God. Do you
kmnv thmfyou are hs stung as the
thiug you commit you self to? If
I am on a great ocean steamer
everything she has is mine, »nb
if she goes down I don i go, down
until ihe last [dank goes. My
wife has been like a crutch under
each arm holding me up, but if 1
put my trust iu her she may be
taken a way. So with my children
and friends and the cnurcb. But
if I commit myself to God blessed
be //is holy name, 1 am as strong
as Uod ill am in his hands, and
I will never go down uutid he goes
down forever.

WAS MADE TO SEE
AND HEAR.
AN INTERESTING BTOBY,
Miss \lmue Wallace resides with Mrs
George Flcklan d4l Mesfee street, At
lanta (ia., and from tier own lips a Uol
stilutlon reporter learned the following
appalling story,
Several months ago she became almost
totally blind and deaf and deaf, and
could not luslc anything except suit.
Her bones became the scat of intense
pi in, lies joints were swollen and painful
and eventually her wlioie body uud ,imbs
liecame covered with splotches and small
-ores. Her appetite failed, nnd she grad
ually lost flesh and strength, and had but
little use of herself as her limbs and j
muscles were puralized She, as well as
well as her friend and those with whom I
she lived despaired of hej recoveiy. Her j
stifle rings, compined with loss of hearing j
and taste and blindness were truly beart
rcNding.
aII rreatment Irom physicians and the
se of medicines seemmed powerless, Rea
disjase was rheumatism and blood p>i
son —!
as she seemed well and bt'arto the re
porter asked what wn ufiht such wonder
iul changes,
1 1 aed a medicinajreccommended by a
riond. celore takinj one bottle I beguni
to see and hear- the next one lelr-ived ell
rheuin&tie pains and improved my udpe
titej When I had coin pi tedsl'ix (jottles
my sith and hearing were fully restored
sente yf taste- returned ill splotches and
so.tei disapperred and licoled and my
strength and restored. I now feel
ae well as I ever did my friends as well
as myself ane astounurd.
What was the madicine ? asked the
reporter.
Booanid Blood Balm—B It It-- was
the great remedy that acted so powerful
ly ou my disease and clifted me, I never
