Poliliciil matieis in Rockdale are
moving along nicely.
There is nothing in the world
that makes a politician so hair-tear¬
ing mad as to have the people pack
a convention on him.
—
Four times has the White House
been draped in morning since Pres¬
ident Cleveland became its occu¬
pant —'for Grant, for Hendricks, for
Arthur and for Waite.
The United States spends annu
al!v $16,000,000, so it is said, for
products that can be made at home
from materials now considered use¬
less.
The Princeton factory, situated
hear Athens, is soon to be increas¬
ed to 1.200 spindles. The mill in¬
terest of Athens is on a boom. The
Georgia factory is enlarging to 10,
000 spindles. A new cotton mill is
Vicing erected at Barnett Shoals, be¬
sides improvements being made on
the Athens factory.
Sonator Blackburn is very much
pleased with the recent endorse
mentsby Grand Army posts of his
speech is* reply to Senator Tngalls.
He say* they attest tiro approval
given by brave men to his efforts to
defend the memory of the brave
dead. In the meantime Ingalls
goes on writing vindictive letters.
Mayor Abram Ilewitt, of New
York city, is said to be nursing
presidential aspirations. Mr. Ilew¬
itt is a pretty good democrat, and a
politician above reproach so far as
honesty and sincerity are concerned.
But President Cleveland is so un¬
mistakably the choice of the dem¬
ocrats all over the country, that
Mayor Hewitt’s ambition for the
nomlnaton is hopeless, if not mis¬
chievous.
Hon. Roswell P Flower, of New
York, who 1ms been represented as
fin opponent of President Cleve¬
land's renoniination, says that
•‘things have been so arranged that
Gov. Hill is in full accord with the
administration and, moreover, Gov.
Hill will bead the New York del¬
egation at St. Louis. Tammany
and the County democracy will
work together beautifully this time,
and every other issue will he sunk
to get a big majority in and about
New York.”
Those wishing information on
the tariff will read with profit Sen¬
ator Colquitt’s speech published to
day. The speech is a master pro¬
duction and ihe senator presents
bravely the main issue on the tar¬
iff question. By actual figures he
shows how the people of the whole
country have been oppressed with
grievous and unreasonable taxation
to support mischievous schemes
and jobs. The speech hi a word is
one worthy of careful study. If
this respect is paid it, the tariff is¬
sue in this section is settled at least
fo rsome time.
From the edition of Geo P. Row¬
ell A; Co’s “American Newspaper
Directorjq’ published April 2d (its
twentieth year), it appears that the
Newspapers and Periodicals of all
kinds issued in the United States
and Canada, now number 16,310,
showing a gain of 890 during the
last 12 months and of 7.136 in 10
vears. The publishers of the Di¬
rectory assert that the impression
that when the proprietor of a new.-
paper undertakes to state what has
been his exact circulation, he does
not generally tell the truth is an er
roneousone; and they conspicu¬
ously offer a reward of ? 100 foi
every instance in their book lor
this year, where it can be shown
that the detailed report received
fro' a ^ruUUaher was untrue.
The Delightful Liquid Laxative.
Syrup of Figs is a most agreeable
and valuable family remedy, as it
is easily taken by old and young,
and is prompt and effective in cur¬
ing Habitual Constipatation and
the many ills depending on a weak
or inactive condition of the Kid¬
neys, Liver, and Bowels, It acts
gently, strengthens the organs on
which it acts, and awakens them to
a he;dthy activity. For sale by Dr.
