The way in which the doctor handled himself during the trial, was admirable for its coolness, self-possession and thorough prepara tion at every point.

Davis grold mine, two miles south of Canton, is now owned by R. W. Walker, of Columbus, and j. O. Robinson. The ore from this mine is known as brown oxide of iron, which is consid ered by miners as the very finest of gekl-bearing ore. The precious metal us visible in small particles over the rocks and permeates the vein in a uni form degree. The Augusta Chronicle of the 18th .^ays, “Central railroad stock yester day took a running start and reached 102-L, the highest point reached dur- ng the present rise. It closed strong at 102 bid, with much' inquiry for the ■vtoek. The present rise has complete ly.nonplused the brokers and know ing ones, and all statements as to the cause of the rise are naught but con nect me. -“Some Pumpkins.”—The DeKalb Chronicle is responsible for saying flrat Mr. C. M. Candler, of Decatur, has seen a squash growing on Mr. -John Moore’s place, in DeKalb coun ty, which weighs one hundred and seventeen and a half pounds, and measures six feet and one inch in length and five feet and nine inches in.circumference.

H©Vines, in Talbot Valley, while walk ing to her house yesterday at 12 o’ clock, with a bucket of milk on her head, was struck by lightning and in-' stantly killed. She was near a walnut tree when struck, and within twenty feet of her was a wagon load of fod der drawn by two mules and in charge Mjtf two colored boys, aud the boys and mules were uneffected. After the thunderbolt and in a few moments the sun was shining upon the corpse .of the girl.—Talbotton New Era. '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 “ Gladstone’s Irish policy vote with them. Without their aid they are ..■■ help]ess. —Augusta News. - 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. More anon, 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.) Personal and General. 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.

Commissioners. c. Tall Grass. Americus Recorder. 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 harvested several times during the year and makes good feed either green or cured. He sowed the seed several years ago it comes up every year. ' 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. we the undersigned Banks and Bankers will pay all Prizes drawn in the Louisiana State Lotteries which may be presented at our coun ters.
