The Georgia legislature meets

By all means attend the State

The Augusta exposition promises
to outstrip anything of the kind
ever held in the aouth.
What the country needs is tariff
reform, and it will never get at it
by electing a republican president.
Saturday the 3rd of November *is
the day for the nomination of coun¬
ty officers. A full vote is expected.
Tue State Fair opens next Mon¬
day, and it promises to be one of
the most successful expositions
ever held in the state.
One of the latest books is devot¬
ed to “Fools.” How any one man
could condense ali the lore on that
subject within the limits of an or¬
dinary volume is a mysteiy.
What majority is Georgia going
to give Cleveland, Thurman and
tariff reform? Is it safe to place it
st 75.000? That would be a very
reasonable figure, Georgia can give
a much larger majority. She
should not give a smaller one.
The bill which congress passed at
its late session and the president
signed, proposing a congress of
North, South and Central American
nations, provides for the holding
of the congress next year, having
for its object the adoption of a uni¬
form system of weights and raeasui
es, a common silver coinage, a law
for the regulation of patents, copy¬
rights, trademarks, etc., »nd an
equitable method for settling all in¬
ternational disputes.
Edgar Orr of the state department
of education said yesterday: “I
have had a good opportunity to
observe the effects of education
upon the colored race. I am satis¬
fied from my observation that edu¬
cation improves both males and fe¬
males morally. I believe it makes
the women better daughters, wives
and mothers, and the men better
sons, husbands and fathers. It is
true tnat education makes colored
people, to some extent, dissatisfied
with manual laoor. But don’t it
have the same effect upon the white
race? Now and then I see a para¬
graph floating around in the news¬
papers about the forgeries committ¬
ed by colored men as a result of ed¬
ucation. The truth is that these
forgeries are rarely committed by
educated colored men. The bung¬
ling manner in which they are done
proves this point. No, sir; I don’t
think there can be auy doubt that
education makes better citizens of
the colored people, both male and
female; but of course there are ex- ,
kcpLuas to .he rule. *
Persons who lead a life of ex¬
posure are subject to rheumatism,
neuralgia and lumbago and will

McLean’s Volcanic Oil Liniment;

flammation.

ment of medicines which horribly

coating of the stomach. Dr. J. H.
McLean’s Chill* and Fever Cure, by

McLean’s Liver and Kidney Balm.

H. McLean’s Tar Wine Lung Balm;

opium, will soothe and heal an}'
disease of the throat or lungs quick¬
er than any other remedy.
