i i EQUAL RIGHTS TO ALL AND SPECIAL PRIVILEGES TO NONE.”
Conyers, Georgia, Saturday, Oct., 31. 1891
THE SIZE OF IT.
The St. Augustine press hits
the nail on the head when it
says that a doctor will sit down
and write a prescription; time
five minutes; paper and ink, one
fourth of a cent; and the patient
pays $1, $5, HO, as the case may
he. A lawyer writes ten or
twelve lines and gets from $10
to $50 for his client. An editor
writes a half column puff for a
man, pays a man fifty cents or
one dollar for putting in the type
prints it on $7 worth of paper
sends it to several thousand peo¬
ple and surprises the puffed
man if he makes any charges.
BILES APPROVED .
The governor has approved
the following bills: To allow
the people to vote at the next
general election upon the ques¬
tion of amending the constitu¬
tion so as to have annual sess¬
ions of the legislature and lim¬
iting each session to fifty days.
Another amends the general
local option law and prohibits
the issuing of a license to any
liquor dealer in a county after
a prohibition election has been
ordered.

Another is that requiring rail¬
roads to furnish equal accom¬
modations and separate cars
for white and colored passen¬
gers.
Another increased the State
liquor tax from $50 to $100.
To protect primary elec¬
tions.
Requiring the attorney gener¬
al to institute suit against cer¬
tain trespassers on the Western
& Atlantic right of way, which
property belongs to the State.
To require certain corpora¬
tions, railroads, etc., to give the
discharged employees the cause
of their removal or dis
charge
To give the Railroad Com¬
mission jurisdiction over ex¬
press and telegraph eompani
es.
To protect insane persons in
their rights.
Among the attractions at the
world’s fair will be a Moorish
palace in which there will be a
pile oj $1,000,000 in gold in a
strong cage. This pile will rest
upon a fire and bnrglar proof
vault. By prersing an electric
button the entire pile will fall
into the vault and the doors will
spring shut.
An attempt was made Mon¬
day to burn the Towaliga bridge
on the East Tennessee road, be¬
tween Atlanta and Macon.
Seven or eight bundles of fagots
were found tied to different por
tions of the bridge. One of the
bundles had been fired, but had
ouly partially burned when the
incendiary was probably frigh¬
tened away and the bridge was
saved.

Too much sensibility creates
unhap piness; too much insensi
bilty creates crime.
A rich man despises those
who flatter him too much, and
hates those who do not flatter
him at all.
The love of glory can only
create a hero; the contempt of
it only makes a great man.
Truth and virtue can do less
good in the world than their fal¬
se, well-acted semblance can do
evil.
A generous man will place
the benefits he confers benaath
his feet, those he recievs nearest
his heart.
If you wish to appear agreea¬
ble in society you must consent
to be taught many things which
you know already.
General maxims applied to
every day life are like routine
applied to arts, good only for
medicre intellects.
There ara many vices which
do not deprive us of friends,
there are meny virtues which
prevent Us from having any.
To contradict and argue with
a total stranger is like knocking
at a gate to ascertain if there is
anyone within. -

There is too many people who
think they can edit a newspa¬
per better than the editor, but
who have been complete fail¬
ures in managing their own
business.
The man who won’t adver¬
tise because “nobody will read
his ad,” is the first one to rush
aROund to the editors office and
implore him to keep out a little
two line piece that might put
him or his business in a bad
light.—Carroll Free Press.
A little girl from Birmingham,
Ala, who is now in Atlanta on ex¬
hibition, is a wonder. She is only
5 years old and weighs 100 pounds.
At birth this child weighed only 8
pounds. During the tiist year of
he: life her health was extremely
bad, and at the close of the year her
weight had shrunk to 6 pounds. At
3 years of age she woifihed 15; at 4.
54 andnow at 5 100 pounds. Her
name is Amber Glen Corley. She is
43 inches high, measures 43 inches
around the waist aDd wears a No. 7
child’s shoe. She is endowed with
marvelous strength, though not
allowed to use it, much. Her appe¬
tite is simply enormous. The night
she reached Atlanta she ate at sup¬
per .two pounds of beefsteak, six
fried eggs, with bread, cakes and
drinkables to match. Her father
states that she drinks three or four
gallons of watei daily. She is very
healthy, and at the present rate
promises to become the monster
woman of the age.

regret that ihe County Alliance should
have taken any notice or action in
regard to a sermon preached at our
church some time ago by our Presi¬

are sorry that the editor of The Solid

statement in his paper. While some
of our members thought at the "time
that one or two points of the sermon
was perhapf intended to refer to Ah

him by any of the members, or the

love, friendship, and pleasantly as a

FOREPAUGH3 CIRCUS.
This is toe first season in AmerL
ca of Colonel E. Daniel Boone's
thrilling exhibition, a circus ring
filled with lions let loose in a ninety*
foot steel cage. In this exhibition
he is assisted by the champion lion
queen. Mis Cariotts, and the wonder
fully trained German boarhound.
“Saxon.” The lions do the bidding
of Colonel Boone intelligently and
with alacrity. They are formed
into squads, drilled and marched;
they work bicycles, and when bar
nessed to a Roman chariot and driv
en by their master, go whirling and
leaping around the great circular
cage, drawing their trainer triumph¬
antly. These are the kind of attrac¬
tions presented this season by Adam
Forepaugh Shows. This famous
show with all its collossal aggrega¬
tion will exhibit in Atlanta next
Monday. It will be greater than
