M. DeLesseps, in a circular, in¬
forms the holders of Panama ca
nal shares that new bonds will be
issued in order to provide capital
for the improvement of the canal
works. For every three
they possess holders will have the
riglit to claim one new three per
eent. bond of the nominal value of
500 francs. The issue price will be
410 francs. The subscription list
will open on March 1 , and close
on March 0 .
An Atlanta lady lias a very re¬
markable stone. It is a Ballast
port diamond, exactly in the shape
of a pear, and of a lovely shade,
resembling a lump of light brown
sugar. Where the stem should
be is a perfect likeness of Chris¬
topher Columbus, even to the frill
at his neck. The face is very
small, but perfect in outline.
The Boston Advertiser states
that the profits of the sugar trust
last year on the whole capital in¬
vested was between 2a and 50 per
cent. When it is remembered
that a great part of this capital is
dead, being sunk in refineries
which the trust owns but does op¬
erate, it will be understood what a
vast advantage the tariff gives the
trust over men engaged in other
industries. It certainly is not
right that the owners of the closed
refineries should be enabled by
law to draw 25 to 50 per cent, on
* capital that is not earning a cent.
On the Georgia road the other
day, there was a fatherly, dignifi¬
ed man, accompanied by a good
looking daughter. In the seat
ahead was a stranger with two
gripsacks. After a silence of an
hour, the stranger turned around
and offered the girl ft magazine.
She hesitated, and the father
slowly reached around, pulled .out
it revolver and laid it on his .knee,
and continued reading. The
stranger deliberately readied over
and seized the revolver, took a
screwdriver from his pocket and
unscrewed the hammer and throw
it out'the window, and then with
one hand he replaced the weapon
on the father's knee and with the
other he dropped the magazine
into the girl's lap.
Mayor Glenn is getting all of
the city departments of Atlanta
afraid of him. He dropped in on
the police commission and ex¬
ploded a live bomb which startled
that body out of its usual compo¬
sure and will cause them hereafter
to keep a watchful eye on his hon¬
or. During the meeting the may¬
or was examiug tlie chief's pistol,
which he thought, of course, was
not loaded. The pistol went off,
and only the kind providence
which watches over Atlanta pre¬
vented a vacancy iu the commis¬
sion, or in the office of chief. As
soon as the commission got its
breath a vigorous break was made
iu the direction of retrenchment
and reform by reducing the city
prisoners to two meals a day.

the city of 7 cents per meal, while 1

The example of the New York
legislature in providing for

Would it not be well for other
states to await the result of the

moving in this matter? Some of

The Btate Agricultural Society
is fortunate in having such a man
as Hon. W. J. Northern at its head.
He is not only a successful practi¬
cal farmer, but he is progressive
in his views on oilier questions be¬
sides agriculture. His address to
the recent State Agricultural con¬
vention was one of the most nota¬
ble speeches ever made before
that body.
The first daily newspaper pub¬
lished in America by a colored man
is issed at Columbus, Ga. Its ed¬
itor is B. T. Harvey, a graduate of
the Tuskegee Normal School at
Tuskegee, Ala.
A farmer in Fulton county, ac
cording to the Atlanta Journal,
has had several pair of socks and
a pair of gloves made from

The people of Georgia have
called a road congress to meet in
Atlanta on May 22. Good roads
are a sad necessity in this State.
The road congress will be an event
in Georgia next spring.
Mr. Phil Dodd, one of the lead¬
ing Alabama street merchants of
Atlanta is an inveterate ten-pin
roller, and the only pocket money
he spends is for this amusement.
“It's my pin money," is a joke that
he never fails to get off when an
opportunity presents itself. Ev¬
ery day Mr. Dodd goes to the
bookkeeper in his store and draws
one dollar—no more, no less—and
takes this to Ponce de Leon
Springs and blows it in on ten
pins. If there is no friend there
to roll with him he rolls with the
gamekeeper.
A good many of the newspapers
of the country comment favorably
on the call for a road congress for
this state. It is hoped that the
idea will be as favorably received
in Georgia as r^it of Georgia.
Mr. Ingalls' state, Kansas, needs
to be civilized. The Kansas coun¬
ty seat wars, which break out at
intervals, show this. In fact it
was shown very forcibly the other
day, when the suite legislature re¬
ceived a petition asking for power
to mob horse thieves whenever
found in that state. As soon as
Senator Ingalls declares the re¬
sult of the presidential election
he ought to go to Kansas and ex¬
postulate with the heavy republi¬
can majority of that state. He
might prevent them from becom¬
ing utter barbarians.
Another subject that should be
considered by the congress is that
of the stock law. One of the
greatest drawbacks to the farmers
is that they are compelled to fence
in their crops. If the general as¬
sembly could be induced to pass a
state law requiring stock to be
fenced in, the condition ojf the far¬
mers would soon be greatly im¬
proved. Such a law has been in
operation in South Carolina for
the last five years, and experience
shows that it means larger crops
and better stock at less cost.
Quite a number of counties iu
Georgia have adopted the stock
law, and they are greatly pleased
with it. Good roads and the stock
law go hand in hand. They are
iu the line of progress, and if
adopted in this state they will
make farming more profitable and
the state more prosperous.
A young pigeon got into the
Atlanta jail last Friday in some

Hon. W. J. Northen.
In speaking of Col. Northen's
address the Constitution of last
week has this to say:
It is understood that Mr. Nor
then will be in the race for gov¬
ernor next year. His speech is
an admirable platform on which to
run. It is broad, statesmanlike,
patriotic—and, what is unusual
with platforms, it is practical and
full of common sense. Politicians
may talk about the danger of
electing a class candidate, but no
barm can come to the state,
and no lessening to its dignity to
elect any man governor who
writes and speaks as the author
of this address.
We do not intend to deprecate
in this hearty and cordial praise
of Mr. Northen's address the
claims of any other candidate for
governor, or to suggest our own
preference in the matter. These
are practical times, and demand
practical statesmen. Mr. Northen
has, consciously or unconsciously,
formulated the platform on which
he will go before the people—a
thoughtful, earnest, painstaking
study of the farming problem, and
a determination to find the rem¬
edy, and, as far as the state's
power will go, to apply it. That’s
a good platform! It will be well
for Georgia if all the other candi¬
dates will formulate and stand on
one so practical, so sensible, and
addressed to so crying and press¬
ing a need. We shall be glad to
bear from the other candidates.
In the meantime, it may be re¬
marked that Mr. Northen's address
will commend itsolf to thousands
and thousands of citizens outside
of the ranks of farmers—who re¬
cognize in the problem he is deal¬
ing with, the most important prob¬
lem of the day.

The Washington Post has in¬
vited its unmarried female readers
to answer the question, “What
kind of a husband do you want?”
The answer will depend a good
deal on tlie ages of the writers.
For instance, the girl of 16 will
want a handsome, wealthy, avis
tooratio and witty husband, and
she will announce that no other
kind need apply; the young lady
of 20 will want one of the same
kind, but she will not limit the
applicants to that class; the young
lady of 25 will be satisfied with a
sensible, provident husband,
whether he is handsome, wealthy,
aristocratic and witty, or not; and
the women of 30 to 35 will very
likely indicate a partially for
widowers with or without children.
The House Wednesday decided
that Representative Elliott, of the
Seventh South Carolina district,
was elected. The decision was in
accordance with the facts. It is
probable that Smalls did not ex¬
pect it to be in his favor, but made
the contest with the hope that an
appropriation would be made for
him that would compensate him
for his trouble.
