Cummings has re signed his position as general attor ney for the Georgia railroad. The state fair seem to be in a mud die. Macon is not standing up to the fair like the agricultural society thinks she should. Our country was prosperous and happy unul the republicans came into power lu 1 Hfil- This was because the governrat ■nt lmd been run in the in terest of the people. It is rumored that Burks and Bur gess arc to have charges prefered against them in their sub alliance and there bo tried. If they should get their just deserts they would both be turned out to graze. Some people are very much exer eised just now for the salty of the democratic party. However, it- has not been mauy months since these name parties were voting against the nominees of that party. How things do cluing* Never in the history of the country was the outlook so gloomy as at pros out. There is absolutely uo money to be had at any interest and cotton down to the very bottom. If anything would cause a political revolution this is it seems sufficient. The Augusta Chronicle is now a Cleveland organ, but it was bitterly opposed to him when he wrote his fa mous ‘free trade message.’ Now that Cleveland has come out in favor of Wall Street money kings the Chroni¬ cle is for him. Men who say there is enough mon¬ ey in circulation are eiiher fools or knaves. There is now only $4.72 per capita in circulation and the expense of the government is $8.00 per capi¬ ta. When we had $50.00 per capita in circulation the expense of the gov¬ ernment was only $2.02. The masses cau't stand this state of things much longer. The now school house will be ready for the fall term. The building com¬ mittee has he* u appointed and as sot'ii as possible work will begiu on the konst It will in* a great day for Conyt vs \» lu»n it opened. It will be a gnat day lor the county. A good school at home where the children of the town and county can receive a high school education. It will save thousands of dollars every year. Will the democratic congress give the necessary relief to the people du¬ ring the next session of that body. It is no time to dully aud postpone matters. The relief must come and if the democratic party is not equal to the undertaking then the people will look els where for relief. It will not be to the republican party either, but to the tbiui part. The key to the sit uatiou is held by the democrats and if they fail to improve the opportuni¬ ty the gnat rank of the party will desert it and vote for what they want. We give our readers a supplement this week on the silver question. The letters were prepared by Mr. Henry Jones who is thoroughly posted on our fin o ctal system. They were pre pared for the Atlanta Constitution Constitution and were first published iu that excellent journal. By the close perusal of these letters you will lie able to comprehend the great ne cessuy tor the free and unlimited oomog silver. His facts and fig ures stau d undisputed aud his argu uieut is eLar and comprehensive. U e commend a careful and studied read *ng of these letters. There is much being said and wri ten just at this time about the Alli ance joining the third party. The hope that the democratic party would triumph in 112 has about flickered in the breast of the easily alarmed mem¬ bers of the party. However, there is no need of any consternation. The alliauce will stand to the democratic party if the party proves itself worthy of the support of the alliance; but if the leaders of that party join the enemies of the people and abaudo n the first principles of true democracy then the alliance will desert the party and let the leaders go over to the re¬ publicans where they rightfully be¬ long. The democratic party was originally the party of the people and when it ceases to be this let it die and die dead. Auy party that sells itself out corrupt leaders and money kings is not worth7 of confidence or support. Let the democratic party proves its fealty the people and there will be no danger of the alliance de sertins the party. The Southern Mutual Accident Insurance Company is the title of the latest enterprise in Au¬ gusta. A young man in the neigh¬ borhood of Shewmake’s mill, in Laurens county, while fishing with dynamite Wednesday fai¬ led to throw the cartridge into the water quick enough when it exploded blowing off both aanis, tearing open his chest and literally shattering his head. Before silver was demonetise in 1871 cotton sold at 20 cents a pound. Other causes have dou¬ btless operated to reduce the price of the staple, but the de¬ preciation of silver was also a factor in working that end. The Georgia Press Association is not a political organization but is formed solely for the purpose of mu¬ tual benefit the improvement and ad vancememt of the press in this State, and for social intercourse. Hence, at its recent meeting in Atlanta, it sat down on an attempt to ring in some political resolutions and that too with an emphasis that will deter any effort of this character in future.—Enquirer Sun. Congressman Crisp of Americus is to go to New York where he is to be the leading speaker at Tammany's Fourth of july celebration. He will spend several weeks east filling in' vitations which he has accepted to speak in several of the leading cities of thatseciion. A Sumter county farmer Mr. B. J. lvouks who is also a school teacher has been convicted of assault and battery for ill treatim nt of a pupil whom he punished severely. He was sentenc¬ ed to pay a fine of $500 or eight mon¬ ths on the chain gang. Although in circumstances with several thousand dollars in bank, Rooks says lie will serve out the sentence on the chain gang. Johu S. Wise ought to make at least one more speech before he dies. His last was to laud Grant to the skies. He should now expatiate upon the virtues of Sheridan who boasted that he had so completely devastated the valley of Virginia that ‘‘a crow flying over it would have to take his rations along with him.” Johnuy should not discriminate between these two “Christian statesmen” and soldiers. The beneficiaries of protection who make such a howl about “pauper la¬ bor” at election times are driving American workmen out out of the coke regions of Pennsylvania and re¬ placing it with that same despised “pauper labor.” Hon. L. F. Livingston is waking thing up in Hississippie. The seu etorial race is hot between George and the sub tres-ure candidate, but if Livingston eanuaeses the state George will be snowed under. Chuoren Cry for Pticheds Castoria. Mow Is the Time To purify your blood and fortify your system against the debilitating effects of spring weather. At no other season is the bitter taste in the mouth more prominent, the breath -k a | so offensive, the drowsy dizziness vj IfijU' ] !j n so feeling frequent, prevalent. or that extreme Hood’s tired Sar jj saparilla so is just the medicine to purify the blood, cure sick headache, bilious¬ ness and overcome that tired feeling. “I have been troubled a great deal with headaeiie, had no appetite, no strength, and felt as mean as any a ■ • r one could, and be about my work. Since taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla I have not had the headache, my food has relished, and seemed to do me good, and I have found myself growing stronger every day.” M. A. Steinman, 10 Grand Avenue, Grand Rapids, Mich. Dyspepsia Few people have suffered more severelj from dyspepsia than Mr. E. A. McMahon, a well known grocer of Staunton, Va. He says. »• Before 1878 I was in excellent health, weigh Ing over 200 pounds. In that year an ailment developed into acute dyspepsia, and soon I Was reduced to 162 pounds, suffering burning Intense sensations In the stomach, palpitation of the heart, nausea, and indigestion. I could not sleep, lost all heart in my work, had fits of melancholia, and for days at a time I would have welcomed death. I became morose, sullen and irritable, and for eight years life was a burden. 1 tried many physicians and many remedies. One day a workman employed by me suggested that I take Miring Hood’s Sarsa pa¬ villa, as rt had cured his wif e of dyspep sia. I did so, and before taking the whole of a bottle I began to feel like a new man. The terrible pains to which I had been subjected, ceased, the palpitation of the heart subsided, my stomach became easier, nausea disap¬ peared, and my entire system began to tone up. With returning 8 Years strength came activity of mind and body. Before the fifth bottle was taken I had regained my former weight aud natural condition. I am today well aud I ascribe it to taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla.” N. B. If you decide to take Hood’s Sarsa¬ parilla do not be induced to buy any other.
