SOLID SOUTH.
JOHN MADDOX, Editor.
SATURDAY MARCH 13, 1886.
The country wants statesmen, not
demagogue jokers.
In the language of Grover Clove
land—Who is this man N. J. Ham¬
mond?
The Senate Wednesday confirmed
Mr. lienfror as postmaster in Atlan
ta.
Bibb county has produced more
candidates and fewer governors than
any county in Georgia.
The prospects of a railroad to
Covington seems to run some of her
citizens almost wild.
Spring poets need not despair.
Send your effusions, though they
maybe profusions, aiong to this of
flee.
What is political glory when a
a man is unknown to congressmen,
after a ten years service in Washing¬
ton?
The holding of the county fair is
being talked up in Hancock county.
About $800 have been subscribed for
the purpose.
Col. Nat. Hammand isieported to
have cracked a joke recently in con
gress. This is the first successful
thing done by him in ten years.
The Biair educational bill passed
the senate l»y a vote of 36 yeas to 11
nays. It is thought that it w ill be
defeated in the house.
Hall county went wet in the pro¬
hibition election last Wednesday by
300 majority. Great interest was
taken in the election.
“The great constitutional lawyer”
is talking of making Hie race over
for congress. Hammond, we pre¬
sume, will conduct this little Tcn
nessenn around.
It is gratitude for “this man Ham
roond” to sell out to the “Great Con¬
stitutional Lawyer’ Mynatt. It
will trke both in congress to make a
record to the white house stranger.
In the death of Mrs. Caroline A.
Smith, the mother of “Bill Arp,” a
rtolile and true Christian woman
passes away. She had reached the
ripe age of 78 years.
Tlie Great Constitutional Lawyer
Mynatt and This Man Nathaniel
Hammond will no doubt collude for
congress agnin. If they do Judge
Stewart might as well take up his
bed and walk.
Rockdale county may not go nut
of her own tenitoyv to produce
n congressional candidate. We cer¬
tainly cannot present a man who will
be less active than this man Ilniu
mond.
Rev. Sam Jones Void his hearers
in Chicago that they could not pray
rightly unless on their knees, and a
clergy man present retorted by say
ing that it was a good thing to
ece some people praying iu any
fashion.
Rev. J. A. Monday returned to At
lanta Monday from an extensive
trip in Florida, and the Bounthcrn
part of this State, He speaks of
resigning the care of his churches
and enteriug the field as an evange¬
list
In Asheland, Ky., Neal and Craft,
two men, were recently hung for
murderers. It now turns out that
they were the wrong men nnd were
innocent of any crime. The real
murderers, W. H. and Frank Jones,
are now being tried for their life.
They killed the Joyce family.
There are already two candidates
actively in the gubernatorial both of race— Ma¬
Bacon and Simmons,
con, In this connection we may
say, there is a strong effort being
put forth to embarrass Gov. McDan
iel’s prospects. It is not given out
positively yet whether he cares to
make the race or not. If he does
not it is highly probable that Living¬ Sena¬
tor Carlton or Railroad King
ston will. In other words, Bacon is
going to have opposition.
Robert Morris, the Habersham
county murderer, has been sentenced
to be hanged April 16. He mur¬
dered William J. Henderson. Mor¬
ris laughed all the. time tlie Judge
was delivering the sentence and
Baid to the sheriff when he was car
rving him back to jail: “Send me a
plenty to cat, break so that I will neck be when hoavy I
enough A to motion for my trial has
fall.” a new
been made.
The friends of Dr. Armstrong in
Atlanta will perhaps build him an
independent church. There is
trouble in the Episcopal household
in that city, and as indicative of
the widespread feeling of the indigna¬
tion at the final result of trial,
may be mentioned the fact that one
of the curators of St, Luke’s church,
Bishop Beckwith’s cathedral, has
tendered his resignation.
’I he Walton News sat s Mrs. Mu
IV 1 left in, of Monroe, lias a roiling
pin which has been in iuu? for o\ev
170 years. It is lundii of hickory
wood, and is as sound as a new Bland
dollar.
Bishop Bcekwib, of Atlanta, has
rendered his decision in the Arm
strong case, He over-rules the ap
plication for a new trial, and sus¬
pends I>r. Armstrong from the min
istry for five years.
At a fire in the gas house of the
Augusta factory, hist Friday night,
a failing wall buried nine men, kill
ing two of them outright, and severe¬
ly injuring the others.
Captain Burnett, of Newton, found
a hen’s egg on his place recently, in
the shape of a terrapin, wrth distinct
marks for feet and tail, the outlines
of a limnan face, and the figures of
171 on the flat side- There are
seyeral living witneses to the above
facts.
Mr. Parks, of Jackson county,
captured a centipede last week. It
it more deadly in its bite than the
rattlesnake, and was never heard of
before in this part of the country.
Mr. Parks lias seen them in Texas,
and says it is certainly a centi¬
pede.
The widow of Gov. Seymour died
at the residence of Mr. Conkling in
Utica, N. Y. Tuesday. She had been
sick for some months. It was while
watching at her bedside that her
distinguished husband was fatally
stricken.
Senator Miller, of Colorado, died
last Monday. He had been sick for
a long time, and it is supposed that
his death was caused from an old
wound he received during tlie war.
There is some talk that a Democrat
w ill be Appointed to his place.
The acquittal of Holland, tlie Tex¬
an, who killed Tom Davis, the gam
bier, will be approved generally by
the public. The evidence on the
trial showed clearly that if the Tex¬
an had not shot Davis, the gambler
would have shot the Texan. And
un honest Texan is of more service
to the world than a New York gam¬
bler.
The epidemic of meningitis jail. is
still raging in Fulton county
Over 100 United States prisoners
have been removed to the jails of
Cobb, DeKalb and Bartow counties.
Seventeen still remain, of whom sev¬
en are sick with meningitis. Three
of them are dangerously ill.
Mr. It. T. Asbury, of Maxcy’s, who
is now sixty years old, was one of
tlie sufferers from tlie storm which
passed through the upper portion So of
Greene county on May 1, 1876.
terrible and frightful was the de
structidn upon Air. Asbury’s place
that he seems to have lost all knowl¬
edge of events that transpired be¬
fore the storm. With him all data
is taken from that time.
It is rumored that DeKalb county
is to be sued for $35,000 damages,
on account of the breaking up of the
istone large distillery of Cox & Hill, at.
Mountain, by the adoption of
prohibition. The suit will be
brought tinder a recent decision of
a United States District Court, that
property destroyed under such cir
cumstances must be paid for.
A $77,000,000 stimulus under the
public schools would furnish the.
country with a host of educated
rascals. It seems to be well settled
that mere book learning docs not
carry with it morality. We have
seen it stated that Boston furnishes
both the. greatest per cent of school
bred people and the highest rates of
crime. Education aud morality, to
make an evenly balanced civiliza¬
tion, should advance equally. This
Idea should be well considered in
the South, where a thoroughly clothed im
moral race has just been
with civil rights.—Macon Tele¬
graph.
Senator Plumb’s attack upon
school books written by southern¬
ers provokes the Nashville Union to
remark that some of the vilest liter¬
ature of the age is to be found in
the school readers used at the north.
In these readers children are taught
that the southern people are murder
ers, robbers and rebels. In some in¬
stances these books have been forced
upon southern schools. And yet the
people of this section did not loose
their temper. They knew that the
truth of history would finally pre¬
vail. About the last place in the
world for sectionalism is a text
book.
A St. Louis dealer advertises: “I
am selling fine corkscrews in men’s
pants at $5.” Unless there is a
loaded flask in the hip pocket the
inducements of a fine corkscrew in
pants will not capture many pur
chasers.
The manner in which the name of
Ku Klux came into existence was
this: A Louisiana negro stole chick¬
ens. A detective started after
him, but could find no trace of him
until a chicken made a noise and
gave away the hiding place. “I was
looking fora clue,” remarked the
detective, “and now the clue clucks
yonder.” The spelling was cor
rupted later.
Twenty-four divorees were granted
in Philadelphia Saturday, and it was
not a very good day for divorces
either.
End To Hone Scraping.
Edward Shepherd, of Harrisburg,
III., .says: “Having received so much
benefit from Electric Bitters I feel
it my duty 50 let suffering, humanity
~ had running
know it. Have a sore
on my leg for eight years; my doc¬
tors told me I would have to have
the bone scraped or leg amputated.
I used instead, three bottles of
Electric Bitter and seven boxes of
Uucklen’s Arnica Salve, and my leg
is now sound and well.’'
Electric Bitters are sold at fifty
cents a bottle, and Bucklen’s Arnica
Salve at 25c. per box by Dr. W. II.
Lee.
