For Comptroller General, "WILLIAM A. WRIGHT, of Richmond. For State Treasurer, ROBERT U. HARDEMAN, of Bibb. For Attorney General, CLIFFORD ANDERSON, of Bibb. For Congress—6th District, JAMES H. BLOUNT, of Bibb. For Senator 20tb District, C. R. PRINGLE. For Representative, W. T. CONN. The Athens Banner*Watchman on Onr Technological Article of Last Week. In the first place we did not say that practical knowledge is all that is wanted, but we say, now, that it is the main thing that is wanted. We presume that in selecting the Profes sors for the Technological Institute, services of gentlemen will be secured who possess all the scientific requi sites required with all the practical knowledge needed to turn out stu dents skilled in the mechanic arts. The principles needed in such an in stitution are much fewer than those required in the course of study in such an institution as the University of the State. We question if any coilege in the country possesses a faculty of higher qualifications than that of the State University of Georgia, and yet we may safely say not one of them possesses the requisites to successfully conduct a technological school. But few people know what is meant by technology, While the faculties of our institutions all know what it means, there is not one in a thousand who is competent to teach it. And in saying this there is no disparagement of their qualifications as men of sci ence and learning. All of them know what technology means, but not one in a thousand can teach it. Webster defines the word, “a description of, or a treatise on the useful arts.” To^ build a locomotive is a useful art. so* is the construction of any part of the machinery of a cotton mill, of a reap er or mower, or the many instruments used in ginning cotton, or converting ore into iron, or iron into nails, and so of hundreds of other articles of metal or wood so useful in diminishing hu man labor. Ships are built at the North, but such a work is never thought of in the South, because we have no workmen capable of con structing the simplest part of it. These various simple structures of great value are used in the South, but made at the North, because we have no technological school to teach the methods of their structure, as they have at the North. We have some intelligent mechanics and other work men at the South, but their skill has been gained by hard experience and waste of time. We have mind, and everything but technological schools. Sueti schools would turn out skillful artisans whose work would save mil lions of dollars by making us inde pendent of the North. Our literarv institutions give us good lawyers, fin*e statesmen, theologians, &c., but tech nology is required to give us skilled artisans and workmen of all kinds.— We [say now, we would require but few professors in the technological school, and there will be no need for a large number of scientific professors as are indispensible in the University and other similar institutions. A good chemist might be needed. The technological school will re quire two or three Professors deeply skilled in the useful arts. Our only fear is it would be difficult to get them. Even at the North there are few such. There are many there who are called skillful workmen, but out of the whole number it would be hard to find enough to fill the technologi cal schools which will and ought to spring up in our Southern States. They will furnish the greatest need of the South. But, fortunately, two or three will be sufficient each for many such. Our school, about to be start ed, may need three or four. The principles applicable to such an im provement are many it is true, but the improvement will be rapid, as the prin ciples involved in the structure of a few works will be applicable to many, and the acquisition of such knowledge will be rapid. We think, as we stated last week, tnat the technological school should not be connected with the scientific. Its ol>j6ct is to make skilled, workmen and not fine latin, greek and belle lettres scholars. When united, one class will be in their rooms pursuing the academic course, and the other class will be in their workshops with sleeves rolled up engaged in wood or iron work essentially different from the first. Unfortunately there are many ip the first, who from a ridicu lous and foolish pride will cause dis- sentions _ which should never occur. Labor with the hands should b© ac counted as honorable as labor of mind in classic studies. It the two should be partially united m Athens, heavy penalties should be incurred by those who disturb the quiet relations of the two. The letter, of our excellent and high ly valued correspondent “Houghton” did not reach us until 10 o’clock yes terday, too late tor publication this week. We would be under increased obligations to advertisers if they would send us their favors before Monday, as we must give them the preference, and are thus often forced to leave out matter that we desire to publish. James G. Blaine, Jr., was married in New York city last Monday to Miss Mary Nevins, daughter of Col. Richard Nevins, of Columbus, Ohio. Young Blaine has not completed his college course. EDITORIAL GLIMPSES, The cholera is making fearful rava ges in Japan. Of 00,000 cases 87,000 resulted fatally. The sum of $30,0003 was voted in Bulgaria to defray Prince Alexander’s traveling expenses. Returns.—The Presidential party expect to leave the Adirondacs on this day. A special car is expected to meet and convey them to Washing ton. Mr. Gladstone has notified his friends, that he will return and be in his place in the House of Commons on the 15th. He will speak in the House of Commons next Tuesday. We have, by an oversight, failed to notice hitherto, the new dress of our estemed contemporary, the Macon Evening News. We trust it is an in dication of prosperity in the present and an increase thereof in the future. The Knights of Labor, it is report ed have nominated a full ticket for Richmond county officers, and mem bers of the Legislature. A colored man named Rob’t. Cummings, being on the ticket for the Legislature. The Knights of Labor, it is stated, have received financial aid from the broth er assemblies. The factory hands have received final notice that those residing in Fac tory row and Pine row, must go to work by Friday, September the 17th, or vacate the company’s houses. The mill superintendent says he must have the residences for a force which is coming to Augusta to go to work on that date. Professor Hammond of Oregon pre dicts that terrific cyclones, earth quakes and tornadoes will devaste the United States in general and the Pa cific seaboard in particular on Sep tember 26th, 27th and 28th. Other scientists concur in expecting further earthquake shocks. The Griffin Sun changed hands last week, the veteran J. T. Waterman having sold it to Mr. Theodocius Rockwell, a son of the late Col. Wm. S. Rockwell of this city. From our knowledge of the purchaser and of his ancestry, we shall expect to see the Sun shining in the future with equal, if not increased brilliancy, as com pared with its lustre in the past. On Friday night last a difficulty oc curred in East Macon in which Frank McCrary, a son of Mr Newt McCrary, a former resident of this county, pep pered some four or five persons with shot, but none very seriously. From the somewhat obscure account of the matter in the Macon Telegraph, we infer that the shooting was done in self defense, and is not likely to result seriously to Mr. McCrary. THE NEW YORK STORE. The New York Store, which achiev ed a wide and well earned reputa tion here as the “Ten Cent Store,” is out in our columns with an advertise ment of its large and varied stock of goods, at prices that seem almost in credible till one tests the matter by making purchases. We have not space, being on the eve of going to press, to enlarge on this subject now, but we advise our readers to read carefully the advertisement alluded to, and avail themselves of the phe nomenal low prices of this inter- prising firm so far as these goods may be wanted, as we have done with great satisfaction ourselves. Northern Money for Charleston. The speedy and munificent contri butions, of Northern people for the sufferers in Chaleston, show that we are one people and that former angry passions have given way to brotherly sympathies and affections, and it is shown by those who met in deadly conflict with even more zeal than by those who were mere lookers on in that long and bloody war. All re maining passions have lost their ve hemence in these acts of kindness, which play so happily upon the heart strings of the people of all sections, upon those who give and those who receive. Nothing seems to be done grudgingly, but in a spirit of free will and open-hearted kindness. These acts of kindness possess a magnetic influence which draws the people to gether and in this restoring work, the northern have the advantage of the southern people in that they are the bestowers of blessings upon the south ern. The southern, however, have it in their power to do great good in meeting the northern in a spirit of re conciliation and proclaiming with equal ‘sincerity and ardor, that we are all brothers in a restored Union. P. J. Cline & Co. We call special attention large and comprehensive ad ment of Messrs. P. J. Cline This well known and entei firm has exceptional facilities 1 chasing the best goods at the prices. Being one of three larg the other two being in Mac< Griffin, which make purch* goods together, the large ai they buy enable them to get t lower rates than those firms th ply get what goods they ne themselves. Paying cash fo goods also works largely in tl yor in the matter of low pri< besides, the three firms ha' three or four buyers lookin, caxeful vigilance through tin wholesale markets and manufai centres, who have been on th to pick up desirable goods m m 8 u * avora <ble prices. lne result of all their advant purchases is that they are « supply country merchants witl +1L™ 8 ? % an the latter can F Sj2? in New York, for they a n ,_ or ? ers here at as low r ca n be got in the No markets and they save to the tomers the freights they woulc to pay on the goods troin the o markets to this place. Want of space (being nearly to goto press) forbids our enl on this topic at present, but w recur to it in our next issue. London Dock Laborers. In sunshine or shower, tog or fair weather, the approaches to the docks and wharves of the metropolis are every morning thronged by crowds of eager, anxious men, struggling, nay in. many cases fighting like .wild beasts, to obtain work within the gates. As the hour draws near for the ring ing of the great bell announcing the commencement of work, a fcrowd of often a couple of thousand of men press around the principal entrance of the London docks, and as the big gates swing slowly open, the mighty mass of humanity rushes forward like an overwhelming flood to the chain-barrier where the superinten dent gives out the metal tokens en titling the holder to employment within. Of course he shows prefer ence to those previously employed, but there is always a chance of ob taining a ticket, and the men strive to clutch one of the precious talismans with iatense and passionate eagerness. They push and jostle and struggle, leaping on each other’s shoulders, and fighting and wrestling in the mad rush like famishing animals rather than human beings. The most des perate determination is written on every face, and there is small thought in the mind of any man of that surg ing crowd for any one but himself. For work means food—poor and scanty, no doubt, but still something to keep the wolf from the door. Fail ure means semi-starvation or worse. But of the crowds who struggle and fight at the gates, frequently no more than one-third are selected, and the remainder, bearing their sad fate with as philosophical fortitude as they can muster—perhaps it is a stony despair, rather—turn disconsolately away, some to seek work at other places which open later, and others to wait for “calls” which may occur at any time during the day. Thus a visitor strolling through the fine docks and admiring the shipping and immense quantities of merchandise piled on every hand, is suddenly arrested by the strange sight of a sea of white, anxious faces pressing wistfully against the bars of a side entrance. Yes, men are still waiting there for any call of laborers that may come during the day. And presently, as you wait, the superintendent appears and cries— “One man wanted!” Instantly all the watchers spring up like caged animals when food is brought, yelling, shouting, and ex tending their hands. They leap on each other’s back and clamor up to the top-most rails; and all this fever ish excitement is to obtain one little metal ticket—perhaps for one hour’s work, entitling the owner to fivepence or sixpence at most! One out of the large number re ceives the ticket, apparently by chance rather than by any other man ner of selection, and then the noise subsides, and the men wait on, pa tient, dogged, hungry-eyed, as before. At another time a call will come for two men, and the same scene will oc cur again, and so throughout the day. But of the great numbers who crowd the gates in their desperate struggle to obtain employment, only a few* comparatively can ever be engaged. One in every three or four appears to be the average number who obtain work.—The Quiver. Earthquake Scenes. Both in Augusta and in Charleston wildly thrilling scenes were witnessed at the religious revivals which im mediately broke loose among the col ored population. They believed be yond doubting that the day of judg ment had come, and they begged for mercy in a frenzy of fear. A weird spectacle it was to pass through their camps and hear the strange, mpre than half barbaric chants and^lhe wild prayers that rose fronff/the throngs in the squares and stfeets. They sa*g hymns like this: Sometimes I’m up, sometimes I’m down; No man like Jesus. Sometimes I’m almost on de groun’, No man like Jesus. Their prayers were wild and ap pealing beyond description: “Oh, my handsome God, dear sir, look down on us. Sometimes the world can kick up in thunder, but do take care of our brothers. Ain’t the black lamb and the white lion done He down together in peace? Move along my brothers, move along! God gimme grace to move along, ain’t I dun promise to be baptize?” The excited throng took up the words: “Promise to be baptized,” and made a song of it, chanting the refrain with a roar like a singing earthquake itself. They stopped to take breath, and the leader fell into another frenzied prayer. “The last chance is come to save old Charleston! Oh, my Lord, don’t touch my city any more! I pray God to hold the world. Hip, hip, hip! Q* 1 ' Lord, take me in Your charge to night. Night before last I didn't ex pect to see Jesus. Oh, God, look at these dry bones in the valley. Didn’t you hear Gabriel blow? oh, Gabriel, blow? Oh, Gabriel, turn that horn to the land of Egypt on the miserable sinners, and not on we.

MICHIGAN AND. INDIANA VISITED BY A SEVERE CYCLONE. Ter.re Haute, September 16.—At lltoO today a cyclone struck this city, coming from the, southwest. For fif teen minutes the wind blew a hurri cane, filling the air with missiles. The storm was confined to the central P°Tf i? n the city. Numerous large buildings were unroofed, and the rain which followed did great damage. A careful estimate places the loss at $45,000. The roof on Masonic Hall was blown off, and water ruined the fine frescoing in the lodge rooms. The canvas of a circus was blown down, and a large audience left in the storm. Many of the actors were in the dress ing-room half nude, and made a brisk movement up the street for the near est hotel. Several thousand people were at the fair grounds. An eating house was blown down and the wreck caught fire, severely burning a woman and bo}\ No fatalities occurred. A special from Newport, Vermillion county, reports six or eight buildings w * re destroyed, but no lives were lost. The damage reported along the Wabash railroad is great, and will ag gregate over $90,000. DESTRUCTIVE STORM IN MICHIGAN. Detroit, September 16.—A storm this afternoon extended over most of Southeastern Michigan, being especial ly severe at Howell, where one man was killed and much property damag ed. The reports are to the effect that a large part of the town had been de stroyed, but the wires are down and full particulars have not been receiv ed. Falling From the Roof. Birmingham, September 15.— Thomas Snell, a white painter, fell from the roof of the new southern express building, a distance of forty feet this morning, and was not kill ed.^ Yesterday, Edward Meyer, fell the same distance from the same build ing, and was at work this morning on the roof, when Snell said, “I will bet a dollar no man on earth can fall that high again and not be kill ed.” Meyer said, “I will bet you two to one on other man will fall from here.” “I will take the bet,” said Snell, who fell soon afterwards. To night he was in a dangerous condi tion.—Augusta News. That fine preparation for ladies use only—Dr. Bellamy’s Extract Gossyp- ium—still maintains the high reputa tion it has so deservedly won, as the quickest, surest, and safest of all that class of remedies commonly known as Female Regulators. The ladies say they prefer it to all others, because it acts so promptly, and its effects are so soothing that it is indeed a bless ing to womankind. Care for Files Piles are frequently preceded by a sense of weight in the back, loins and lower part of the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose he has some affection of the kidneys or neighbor ing organs. At times, symptoms of indigestion are present, flatulency, uneasiness of the stomach, etc. A moisture like perspiration, producing a very disagreeable itching, after get ting warm, is a common attendant. Blind, Bleeding, and Itching Piles yield at once to the application of Dr. Bosanko’s Pile Remedy, which acts directly upon the part affected, absorbing the Tumors, allaying the intense itching, and effecting a per manent cure.
