'Gladstone is about to get the Tories
into a corner. The Liberals of every
shade of opinion are agreed upon the
necessity of a revision of the registra
tion laws. A London cable letter says
that it will tax the ingenuity of the
-Unionists to escape common action
with the Gladstonites on such a meas
ure. Evesry Liberal voter in the
Kingdom, Gladstonite, Whig and
Radical, desires reform in the regis
tration laws. Tens of thousands fully
entitled to vote were cut off from the
francliise’at the last election through
technicalities under the present stat
utes. Nine tenths of the political
committees in the country have now
declared for a new registration law.
Mr. Gladstone is the man to whom
the whole Liberal population looks to
amend the law. If the Conservatives
oppose the bill on this subject, which
“Gladstone will introduce at the very
first opportunity, they will likely be
defeated, as the straight Tory and Con-
servative party is in a minority in the
new Parliament. They only have a
majority when Liberals who oppose

- At Home, Aug. 18th, 1886.
Messrs Editors:
On a recent trisit to Atlanta, I
ticed, as well as I could, the crop pros
pects. The corn crop from Macon to
Atlanta via C. R. R., is fine—I think
an. average per acre, on the uplands
cannot fall short of 121 or 15 bushels
per acre. In the neighborhood of
Bamesville, the crop is very fine.
The cotton weed is, I think, above an
average, as to size—of course I could
not see how the fruitage was,
I made the circuit of Atlanta busi
ness seemed to be dull and at a stand
still—many business houses were clos
ed, having a placard, ‘ For Rent”
posted on the doors. I saw no bar
rooms open, dispensing, as m former
days, the ardent, but every other
man I met, gave unmistakable signs
of having imbibed something strong
er than water.
Atlanta seems to have a genuine
case of the blues—the late Rail Road
projects seem to have left the Capital
City out in the cold. The fact is,
Atlanta, like most of Georgia cities, is
loaded to the gunwales, and can’t af
ford to advance or pledge their cit
ies to advance anything to develop
the latent resources of Georgia. Of
course, the Prohibitionists look, from
their standpoint, for a boom soon,
while the Antis accuse said prohibs as
the cause of all their troubles. Be
this as it may, Atlanta is certainly not
on a boon at present—more business
houses to rent, and less indications of
business than I ever saw at this sea
son.
I saw our former fellow citizen, Col.
N. C. Barnett, Secretary of State.
His form is erect as in days of yore,
and he is still an interesting old man,
has lost none of his interest in our old
town—he asked me a thousand and
one questions about the citizens of our
town, his former friends, and was ful
ly alive to our material progress and
advancement. Good old man, now
nearing his ninetieth birthday, long
may he live to fill, as he has done for
nearly half a century, the office he
now holds.
I met Judge Wm. Ezzard, whom the
writer first saw 50 years since, in
his mother’s house in county.
The Judge is 88 years old, and cannot
reasonably expect many more years
of life in this “vale of tears,” but he
has the consciousness of a well spent
life, and an honorable career, an up
right judge, a good citizen, he will be
gathered to his fathers, in a few
years, at most, and his “works will
follow him.”
I met many who were in attendance
on the Peabody Teachers’ Institute.
This Institute mtended to benefit and
improve the public School teachers of
Georgia, no doubt will benefit the
teachers in and around Atlanta, but
the great mass of such teachers in
Georgia will receive no benefit what
ever—for the season at which it is
held is the time, when, out of the ci
ties, the teachers are too busy to
leave home, and cannot afford the ex
pense of traveling so far, notwith
standing the Rail Roads give them the
the same reduced rates they give pic
nics and other excursions. Dr. Orr,
State Commissioner, does the best he
can, with the $2,000appropriated from
the Peabody fund, for this purpose,
but so long as the whole of this fund
is expended in Atlanta, one hundred
of the counties of Georgia will never
receive one dollar’s benefit from it.
In a conversation with Dr. Orr, whose
whole energies are directed to the per
fection of the efficiency of the Public
School system, I learned that the
whole amount lost to the Public
Schools, by the success of Prohibition
in so many of the counties of Georgia,
is $11,000, which divided among the
counties, assuming Baldwin to be an
average county, will decrease Bald
win’s school fund $80 as compared
with our fund for 1885.
Upon the whole I had a pleasant
visit—barring the heat aud dust,
which was almost intolerable.
Seeing the numerous trains leaving
the General Passenger depot, I asked
myself the question, where are all
these people going and where do they
get the money to trayel with. Impe
cunious as I was I was surprised to see
others, with apparently more available
means, than I had. Well, I reckon it
is none of my business who they were,
where they were going, or how they
got the money to pay their fare.
Some, doubtless, were bent on mis
sions of mercy, some on pleasure, oth
ers wending their way sadly to sick
beds of relatives, and very many on
pleasure bent.
Business alone called me from home,
and did my time and your space per
mit I might indulge in some sage re
flections upon what I saw and heard
upon my hasty trip.

MIDWAY SMALLTALK.
We are glad to announce that the
Midway school for little children, will
shortly be resumed at the Academy
under the management of a deserving
lady. Parents about the Asylum as
well as those in the village, will doubt
less accord her a full and hearty pat
ronage. Let our village primary
school by all means be sustained.
The infant daughter of Mrs. John
L. Johnson still continues in a condi
tion to cause anxiety to her parents.
She has been in a very delicate condi
tion for more than two months and it
is owing to the indefatigable care and
nursing of the devoted mother assist
ed by Miss Nannie Martin, that she
has been sustained through the very
unfavorable weather of the last four
weeks.
We note with considerable satisfac
tion that there are about the village,
only two or three vociferous advocates
of an immediate march upon and
wiping out of the Mexican nation for
the terrible insult to so noble an
American citizen as Cutting. These
gentlemen, no doubt will cool down
before a killing frost and be pursuad-
ed not to act precepitately in the
matter. God forbid that brave blood
shall ever be shed for such a creature
as this Cutting appears to be.
Considerable sickness has prevailed
in the village in the past month.
Among others we learn that Mr. Wil
lie Harper and one of his children have
been confined to their beds this week.
The weather is certainly favorable
now for malarial disorder, and it be
hooves one to be as prudent as possi
ble. Wells should be cleaned out
again, and about the dwellings clean
ed and disinfected. Prevention is
nearly always cheaper and better than
cure.
The Asylum Rifle Club under the
Captainship of our genial and ener
getic DeSaussure, is pushing forward
to thorough organization and efficien
cy. We will hear of a rifle contest
soon no doubt.
Among the visitors to the Asylum
during the last week were Mr. Henry
L. Jewett of Macon, and C’apt. Rich.
Hobbs’of Albany.
Religious services this evening at
the Midway Chapel by Rev. J. D.
Hammond. Residents of the village
and the Asylum neighborhood will
bear in mind these services every
Tuesday, (D. V.)

SENATORIAL CONVENTION.
Pringle goes to the Senate.—
Sandersville, August 21.—The Demo
cratic convention of the Twentieth
Senatorial district met here to-day.
Judge Little, of Hancock, placed in
nomination C. R. Pringle, of Washing
ton; seconded by G. T. Whilden, of
Baldwin. The nomination was made
unanimous by a rising vote. A re
solution was adopted indorsing the
Railroad Commission and the local
option laws now in force; also, con
struing the rights of two off counties in
the rotation system.
Judge R. H. Lewis, of Hancock, in
troduced the following resolutions
which were adopted without dissent,
to wit:
Resolved 1st, that we favor the Rail
road Commission as it now stands.
Resolved 2nd, That the principle of
local option should be maintained as
the true Democratic rule for dealing
with the liquor question, and that
the party faith of the district is pledged
to the right of the people to pass upon
the issue every two years as now pro
vided, and that the liquor question
should be kept out of politics.
Resolved 3rd, That approving the
rotation principle thus far practiced
in our Senatorial nomintions, in our
opinion it is the right of all the dele
gates from the different counties of
the district to participate in future
nominations upon terms of absolute
equality, looking only to the nomina
tion and election of the best and most
capable man for the office to be filled,
and having due regard for the fairly
expressed wish of the Democracy of
the county from which the Senator is
to be chosen. j
The executive committee for the en
suing two years was appointed as fol
lows:
Washington—G. D. Warthen, J. W.
Smith, J. C. Duggin.
Hancock—J. L. Culver, G. R.
Brown, J. R. Sasnett.
Baldwin—G. T. Whilden, J.* C.
Whitaker, C. R. Harper.
Temperance in all things is an in
dispensible requisite to success in ev
ery direction.
Col. Pope Barrow has been anoint
ed Attorney for the Richmond and
Danville Rail Road. This is a splen
did appointment. His division in
cludes the entire Air Line and all its
branches.
Athens Banner : Rev. Mr. Jarrell
and family have pitched their tent at
Tallulah Falls, and are having a de
lightful time fishing and making short
excursions in the neighborhood. He
will not extend his tour further.
More drummers visit Waynesboro’
than any town or city of its size in
the state. This speaks well for the
size of our business. They will find
the Arlington always ready to receive
them, and a warm welcome from ‘mine
host’ Moore.—True Citizen.
The Atlanta correspondent of the
Augusta Evening News says : “There
is no more genial and pleasant gentle
man in the State House than the
Governor’s private Secretary, Mr.
Howard E. W. Palmer? He has pro
ven himself most efficient in his offi
cial position and is popular with the
people.
Charles Dougherty.—Hon. Clias.
Dougherty, Representative in Con
gress from the Second Florida district,
was born at Athens, Ga., Oct. 15th,
1850, and is consequently in his 36th
year. He is of Irish descent on the
paternal side, and his father was one
of the ablest men that ever adorned
the judicial bench of Georgia.—Flori
da Times-Union.
Col. N. J. Hammond has gone ac
tively into the practice of law. He is
a learned lawyer and a successful at
torney, and can make more money at
the practice than in Congress. But
Hammond did not go to Congress for
the money. His defeat is greatly re
gretted all over the State, where
there exists an appreciation of ability
and solid worth.—Augusta News.
Hon. George T. Barnes.—Hon.
George T. Barnes arrived home yes
terday morning. He is in fine health
and spirits. His arduous labors in
Washington have not impaired his
powers of usefulness, but rather aug
mented them. Major Barnes has made
a fine record in Congress and stands
very high in the esteem of his asso
ciates for all qualities that constitute
the first-class public man. He will
return to his post of duty next De
cember as a true and tried veteran
statesman.—Augusta Chronicle, 11th.
Bitten by a Mad Dog.—A young
man named Smithson was bitten by a
mad dog at Bay City, Mich., Aug.
16th, and in one week, was barking
and growling in a terrible manner.
He had to be chloroformed and mana
cled to his bed.

Mr. Jack Renew left in our office
yesterday a stalk of grass seven feet
high, which he said was a fair repre
sentation of a patch he has. The
grass is called the Minnie Sweet, is
greatly relished by stock, and can be

green or cured. He sowed the seed

Death of Mr. Scarborough.
The Trial of Dr. Woodrow.
'it is one of the easiest things in the
‘*vorld to make a blunder, but how
hard it is sometimes to repair one.
The death of Mr. Alfred M. Scar
borough occurred yesterday at his
residence, No. 74 Ash street.
Mr. Scarborough was born in San-
dersville in 1840 and for seventeen
years was employed as a printer at J.
W. Burke & Go’s. He went into the
army with the Washington Rifles of
Sandersville, and made a good soldier.
He married Miss Brinn, of Macon.
f or ten years he has been a sufferer
consumption, and though he
left his work about a year ago, he
was not confined to his bed until
tnree or four days ago. He leaves a
wife and three children.—Macon Tele
graph.
The Vice-President of the City
iiu e 0 W T? y ’ Mr * **• Helmus, of Louis
ville, Ky., was entirely cured in one
s T evere at tack of rheuma
tism by St. Jacobs Oil.
Good Christians everywhere will
view the trial of Dr. Woodrow for
heresy by the Augusta Presbytery
with anxiety and with regret. That Dr.
Woodrow is a sincere Christian, a
learned man and an earnest Presby
terian is not doubted by the great ma
jority of intelligent church people who
understand the points in issue.
The position of one of the witnesses
that the doctor’s views on evolution
place the Bible on trial, and the Pres
byterian church on trial, and strike at
the very vitals of religion, is certainly
an extreme way of stating the case.
There are many enlightened Chris
tians in the pulpit, and connected
with the religious press in this coun
try. and on the other side of the wa
ter, who see in evolution no heresy
and nothing in conflict with their re
ligion and the Bible. Dr. McCosh,
the president of Princeton college,
one of the great lights of Presby
terianism, is a believer in evolution.
He has not yet been adjudged a here
tic, and never will be. Dr.Woodrow s
particular theory may appear un
reasonable or even ridiculous, out
the Christian world at large, and the
great body of Presbyterians will not
consider him a heretic, nor will they
charge him with placing the Bible
and his church on trial, and striking
at the vitals of religion. The Chris
tian who makes God the great first
cause in his evolution theory, can-
not stray out of the way far enougn
to be called a heretic.
The Augusta Presbytery is dealing
with a question of grave importance.
It will require a Christian spirit, wis
dom and scientific knowledge to deal
with it justly. Let us hope that no
mistake will be made.—Atlanta Con
stitution.
