The heaviest state debt is that of

Texas $4,237,730. The total fund¬
ed debt of the Southern states is
placed at $96,158,643.
The New York Sun accounts
truly for the accumulation of this
big burden when it says:
“This heavy and enormously
disproportionate burden is mainly
due to the years of misgovernment
aud plunder which the South en¬
dured under republican carpet¬
bag rule. That Avas broken up
by the efforts of the Southern dem¬
ocrats, aided by the Sun and some
other newspapers; and the melan¬
choly period ended forever with
the election of Samuel J. Tilden
as President of the United States.
“It is Avell to remember these
things once in a Avhile. The fig¬
ures of the Southern state debts
even at the present time remains
as a reminder. The wonderful
energy and new prosperity of the
South is steadily decreasing the
mountain of state debts piled up
during the eight evil years of
Grant and carpet-bag rule.”

CONYERS, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, JUNE 11, 1889.
Should a young man be care-less
of his shoe laces ’tis said that he
will be as neglectful of his wife,
but in case he laces his shoes very
tight he will be attentive, but very
stingy towards her.
Courtesy is admired by every
one, and when visitors come

them around, and make them feel
at home, and you have Avon their

According to dispatches from
Delaware, Mr. Bayard’s political
career is not yet over, and it is
very easy to believe that it is not
Avlien the fact is considered that
Air. Bayard is only about 60 years
old, is in full possession of bis
mental powers, and enjoys excel
lent health. The statement is
made that he will probably be a
candidate for United States sena¬
tor at the next senatorial election
in Delaware. There are many
people, in different parts of the
country, who Avould be glad to
see him in the Senate again.
Croupy suffocations, night
coughs and all the common affec¬
tions of the -throat and lungs

McLean’s Tar Wine Lung Balm.
The other day Louise Michel,
the nihilist, called upon Ainelie
Rives in Paris. The southern au¬
thoress is represented as having
felt ill at ease in her presence, but
she treated her politely. There
are some neAvspapers in this coun¬
try which are always ready to
misrepresent Mrs. Chanler, and
this A'isit furnished them ivitli a
pretext for so doing. They now
state positively that “Louis Mi¬
chel, tlie nihilist, and Amelie Riv
ers have become intimate friends.’

Tlie losses by fire in tliis coun¬
try in 1888 were nearly $1,000,000
less than in 1887. For some time
the average annual loss has been
about $110,000,000. It is stated
that most of the fires in the south
last year were attributed to incen¬
diarism. Probably this is also
true with respect to those in the
north. AA bile it may not he tiue
that most of the fires in this coun¬
try are of incendiary origin, it is
a fact that most of them are
thought to be.

Since it became knoAvn that the
republicans had a very slim ma¬
jority in this congress, death has
been busier Avith democratic than
with republican members. The
only members that have died have
been democrats. They are three in
number: Messrs. Burns of Mis¬
souri, Townslien of Illinois, and
Gray of Louisiana. Democrats
have been elected to succeed the
first two, and as Mr. Gay’s district
gave a democratic majority of
about 12,000 at the last election,
lie will doubtless be succeeded by
a democrat. It is a little singular
that every death thus far among
members should have been of
democrats, but the republicans
need not argue from that fact that
Providence is on their side.

The stage will not be elevated

Mrs. Carter came out of court a

A box of Ayer’s Pills has saved

Up near Washington, in Wilkes
county, there lives an old man of
75 years by the name of Isaac
Dickson, avIio last year raised 100
bushels of Irish potatoes and 300
bushels of sweet potatoes off the
same acre of ground. He is a
hard worker and did all the labor
himself. The Avay he did Avas to
put in sweet potato slips between
the hills of Irish potatoes Avlien
the latter Avero about matured, and
then as lit: dug the Irish potatoes
he would hill up the sweet potato
vines. This is a Avouderful yield,
though by no means improbable
with the cultivation given, and is
vouched for by the best citizens
of Washington.
