A recent number of the Griffin Sun contained a complimentary and very just eulogium upon Mr. M. M. Fol som, the Macon correspondent of the Atlanta Constitution. There are few writers in this state who have, in so short a time, achieved so enviable a reputation as a writer for the press, as the modest, unpretentious gentle man mentioned above. We have fre quently felt both surprise and admi ration as we noted in the Constitution the amount and quality of the con tributions to its columns furnished, day by day, by this versatile and ad mirable writer. KIT J. WARREN. We noticed rather by accident the other day on the editorial page of our sprightly contemporary, the “Macon Daily News,” the words, “Kit J. War ren, editor.” The announcement was news to us as well as a pleasant sur prise. A glance through the editorial columns showed plainly “the tracks made by this racy and versatile wri ter, wliere he had passed along in the discharge of his editorial duties. We, the local editor, have not the pleasure of a personal acquaintance with this genial gentleman and entertaining writer, but he will doubtless permit us to offer him the hand of cordial welcome and sincere good wishes on his taking his present desirable posi tion on the jiress of this section of our State. ^ Suicide of Louis A. Wiggins. I Washington Letter. From Our Regular Correspondent. Washington, Oct. 26, 1886. Editor Union-Recorder: There is much speculation just now in regard to the complexion of the Fiftieth Congress. There is great di versity of opinion, of course, as to which party will have a majority. As Hon. S. S. Cox said: “there will be many holes in the House. The places of many prominent men will be filled by new ones.” But Senator Kenna thinks the Democrats will have at least twenty-five majority. They have such a large majority in the present House that it is not believed it can be overcome, unless apathy shall prevail to a much greater ex tent in the Democratic than in the Republican districts. The boldest declaration of the pres ent campaign was made by Blaine in a recent speech in Lewistown, Maine, which was in effect that the Republicans would repeal the Civil Service law and at once turn out every Democrat in the service of the Government. Civil Service Commis sioner Oberly, taking Blaine to task, said that having endeavored to make himself acceptable to the temperance people, the laboring men and every shade of religious opinion; he now seeks to commend himself to that por tion of the Democracy opposed to the Civil Service system in order to make his “calling and election sure.” In the campaign of 1884 he promised to purify politics by introducing the very system which he now deprecates so strongly, if the people would honor him with their votes. Mr. Oberly re marked that it was the boldest state- Among our Exchanges. Land For Sale.

Whitaker received a letter from El Paso Texas, and two numbers of the “Evening Tribune” of that city, con veying the sad intelligence of the sui cide of Lou Wiggins (familiarly so called) who was a native of this coun ty and has left many relatives and friends in this section. His grand father was Rev. James Wiggins, who died in Florida several years since, and his father, was George Wiggins, who died while a prisoner of war at Rock Island, 111., during the great war betw r een the States. His mother was, before her marriage, Miss Corde lia Prosser, the daughter of the late John Prosser and Mrs. Polly Prosser of this county. Some eight or ten years ago young Wiggins emigrated to Texas, and four or five years since his mother follow ed him to that distant State. She enjoyed the happiness of being re united to her beloved son however but for a short time, for she departed this life some time during the past year. The son lived in El Paso, which is separated from the Mexican city of Paso del Norte, only by the Rio Grande river, that stream being the boundary line between Texas and Mexico. There he seems to have made a most favorable impression upon the people, for the two num bers of the Evening Tribune, men tioned above, devotes much space and attention to the sad event of his un timely death, and says that “he had many friends among the best people of the town,” that “he was a man whom every body liked” and that his “death cast a shadow over the entire community where he had lived so long.” The suicide occurred at the town of Kingston, in New Mexico, some 130 miles North-west of El Paso, where the deceased had engaged in a new mining enterprise, having sever al of the best citizens of the latter place as his partners; and it was be lieved that the prospects of the ven ture were fairly good and promising. There seemed to be no apparent rea son for the desperate act of the young man and his friends were hard to per suade for some time that he had tak en his own life. A letter however, written by himself placed the matter beyond doubt, without giving any reason for the act. A well written letter from Mr. Howell Brown a partner in the mining enterprise— to Mr. Whitaker, gives a clear ac count of the business aspects of their undertaking but throws no light upon the cause of the self destruction of his partner. Although the deceas ed has lived for a number of years far away from here, the news of the sad tragedy in which he was the prin cipal actor, will carry sorrow' to many hearts in this region, and the fact that very many of them are readers of this paper, has induced us to de vote so much space to such particulars of it as we have been able to obtain. ment Blaine had made so far, and showed his swivel-like proclivities. A gentleman from New York, a leader of the Democratic party in that city, who was here during the week, was speaking of the President’s natural anxiety in regard to the suc cess of the party in New Y~ork this fall. He has been on trial eighteen months, and he thinks the people of the State which put him where he is will express their opinion of the ad ministration and its methods at the polls this fall. He believes they are with him, but he does not know it certainly, and that renders him anx ious as to the result. “Yes,” continu ed, he “Cleveland’s present term is ex perimental. But if the Democrats carry the next general election they are in for twenty-five years of power, and nothing can stop them.” The journal of the House of Repre sentatives for the first session of the present Congress has just been issued, and it is exactly one-half larger than ever before. It was so bulky that it had to be bound in two parts of six teen hundred pages each. Some he roic remedy is needed for the bloated Congressional record, and it has been suggested that Congress adopt a rule that no man shall make a speech from manuscript. That would take out the worst trash which now seeks a harbor within the official chronicles. Mrs. Cleveland is employing the pleasant autumn days in overseeing the improvements and repairs upon their country house. She drives out there almost every afternoon accom panied by her mother. The interest ing stage of decorations has been reached, and the important question of ceilings, carpets, and draperies is under consideration. Since the purchase of his little farm the President has been much interest ed in agricultural matters. He in tends to sow twenty acres in clover, and an orchard of New Y’ork pippin trees is to be set out. Grape vine ar bors are being added to the place, and several cows of fine breed and other blooded stock are to be stabled on the premises. Mr. Cleveland has been advised that a man of his full habit, doing so much mental work, needs something more invigorating than riding out an hour or two. So he is anxious to do some of the grang- work himself this fall and next About $30,000 has been expended this year in Waynesboro in the erec tion of new buildings. The town Council of Ellijay have placed the whiskey license at $10,000 a year, that means prohibition. A Dry October, preceded by a rain less September, kocks all the poetry out of the “golden autumn.” The return of Sunset Cox to Con gress is regarded with genuine satis faction by Democrats everywhere. The Kentucky Grand Lodge of Ma sons decides that “saloon-keeping shall be deemed a Masonic offense and punishable:” The Hancock Van Guards, of Spar ta, are thinking of. taking part in the military display at Gov. Gordon’s in auguration. President Cleveland has appointed Col. L. M. Lamar, of Savannah, United States Marshal for the Southern Dis trict of Georgia. In the space of thirty years Ameri- cus has reached a population of 6,000 from 300, and that of the county has more than trebled. S. A. Gray, on his little farm in Waynesboro, has gathered 500 bushels of corn from sixteen acres, over thirty bushels to the acre. The General Assembly of Georgia will meet to-morrow. It will have to elect one Supreme Court Judge, eleven Superior Court Judges, and three Solicitors. In a discription of the rhinoceros it is stated that he is a powerful be 1st, with a mouth ranging from an open valise to a candidate’s smile. Without Reference to Earthquakes. The certainty of the success of Southern enterprises is shown by the regularity which has characterized the Grand Monthly Drawings of The Louisiana State Lottery—the 198th of which events will take place on Tues day, Nov. 9th, 1886—without any re ference to earthquakes or other in terferences. Gen’ls. G. T. Beaure gard, of La, and Jubal A. Early, of Va., will scatter some $265,500* all around the earth. For any informa tion apply to M. A. Dauphin, New Or leans, La. Do not forget the day. There came near being a serious difficulty at Oglethorpe court last Wednesday, that was adjusted to the satisfaction of all parties concerned. L. E. Edwards and Nat. Arnold, two of Oglethorp's young farmers; report ed a negro for gambling. J. Warnock Echols, counsel for the defendant, in his speech, spoke of the above named gentlemen as spies. They were justly indignant, and for a time serious trouble was apprehended, as all par ties are brave men. Mr. Echols, however, like the gentleman that he is, retracted his harsh words when his attention was called to them, ami said that he did not intend them in that light. His explanation was ac cepted and £ood feeling restored. In Memory of my Cousin. Again the door of Heaven opened To receive an angel bright. Who has left this world of suffering To wear a crown and robe of white. For many days he bore with patience, Oh! such suffering, none can tell, Except the God of love and mercy Who doetli for us all things well. None \vas ever nursed so faithful, Nothing was then lefc undone, That could lull the pain and suffering Of our darling little one. All our nursing, watching. ’ Could not keep Him with uo n •, For some wise and unknown purpose. He was taken from our care. How we are longing hut to see him Standing on the other shore, Witn his little bright eyes watching For his loved ones crossing o’er. ’Tis true we miss the little angel. What a sweet relief and rest., When God called his little spirit To be numbered with the blest. For the pain he bore with patience, Was more than m irtal tongue can tell. We should not grieve tor such 1 blessing, For we know that all was well. Fareweil, darling, soon we’ll meet thee When the battle of life is o’er. Then in Heiven we’ll be united, There to meet and part no more. —By Tulula O. J. Smith. Learn to cook and sew if you can, but above all things learn to keep still and look sweet when you are mad enough to take the roof off. Do not be offended when his sister involuntarily wonders what any wom an of taste can see in him to admire. Remember how you dislike your own brother. If he asks can you sew on buttons, answer “No.” A man who has not at some time or other been obligeiljto sew on his buttons lacks a necessary part of life’s discipline. The theory is advanced and finds many adherents that the Texas and Louisiana coast is sinking gradually, and that this phenomenon accounts for the disaster which befell Sabine Pass. New York, October 24.—Mrs. Cor nelia M. Stewart, wife of the late mil lionaire dry goods merchant, A. T. Stewart, died suddenly this morning at her residence on Thirty-fourth street, of congestion of the lungs and of heart trouble. A California correspondent of the New York Eyening Post says 100 olive trees are planted to the acre. Each tree bears 40 gallons of olives, from which 3 1-3 gal lons of oil can be made, which is wortli from $5 to $10 per gallon, the total value of the crop being from $1,500 to $3,000 per acre. That beats cotton at 8%c. per pound and 150 pounds lint to the acre. There is complaint concerning the young men who will stand in front of the churches and ogle the ladies, and there has been just these complaints from time immemorial. It will be difficult to find a young man, or an old one either, who does not like to look at a pretty female face. Capt. J. W. Moore’s gin house, just beyond the camp grounds, at Sparta, was destroyed by fire on Tuesday af ternoon. It was set on fire by a spark from the engine. Two bales of ! ous might occur, cotton, some cotton seed, three old gins and a new one fell a prey to the A Secret, flames. er spring, if only for exercise. The farm is so far from the road that a passer by would have to scan the premises with a field glass to recognize any one. He can work to his heart's content, consequently, without being watched. The President will find a great deal of comfort in this place after the busi ness of the day is over, and he is entit led to it, for he is working his life out in office. The Earth's Inhabitants.—All the people now living in the world- say 1.400,000,000—could find standing room within the limits of a field ten miles square, and by aid of a telephone could be addressed by a single speak er. In a field twenty miles square they could all be comfortably heated. The Argonaut. On our 4th page to-day will be found a striking and instructive illus tration of the comparative worth of the various kinds of baking powders now in the market. The small boy who plays circus with the “trick-goat” in his back yard should see that the St. Jacobs Oil bot tle is not empty. The Rubber Turtle.—A turtle oi the species popularly known as “rub ber turtle” in southern latitudes, where its home is, was captured off the Massachusetts coast recently. It was twelve feet long, and when it w'as landed, a tent was erected over it and a big business done.—Chicago Herald. Earthquake Shocks, Earthquake shocks on the 22im Oct., to which we referred in our last, were felt in all directions over the South, as well as in Charleston ami Augusta. We have noticed reports from at least thirty places in South Carolina, Georgia. Alabama. Ken tucky, Washington, D. C., and other states and sections. They did little or no harm any where as far as we have seen the reports, but they were ealeu latedto excite fears of further serious troubles. In Georgia they were felt at Savannah, Atlanta, Madison ant! many other places, but as gno harm was done w r e will not occupy our space with detailed accounts of what was said about them. In some places peo ple got out of bed and left their house?, [ earing something more seri- One of the periodical epidemics of suicide which occasionally sweep through the country seems to have started a few days ago. Have you ever noticed that a sensational suicide like that of young Bob Alston, In Washington city, on last Saturday morning, is almost invariably follow ed by a number of other suicides—a sort of epidemic of self destruction? Already two suicides in Georgia have followed the tragic ending of young Alston’s life—one in Atlanta and an other in Macon.—Albany News. Greenville News : Many years 9^P°1 it is said, somebody predicted that every male of one branch of the Al ston family would die with his boots on. When Col. Bob Alston was shot in Atlanta about eight years ago, it is told that he whispered to a friend almost with his last breath, to pull off his boots, and break the fearful line of fulfillment of the prophecy, his father and grandfather having died suddenly or by violence. Yester day the fourth of the line died sud denly “in his boots” and by his own hand in Washingt° n * Death of Mrs. Jemison. Mrs. Robert W. Jemison died at the residence of her mother, Mrs Boifeuil- let on Madison street, yesterday morn ing at half past 1 o’clock, after an ill ness of about a month, of malarial f6V6r. • Mrs. Jemison was formerly Miss Katie Boifeuilet and the eldest daughter of the John T. Boifeuillet. She was a lady of rare domestic qualities and her urbanity of manner and equability of temperament made her many warm friends, who will read this announce ment of her death with pain. The funeral notice appears elsewhere.— Macon Telegraph, 27th Oct. The secret of England's power and greatness is in the protection of own industry. From the days of her Edwards and Henrys, when she launched her first battle ship and im ported sailors to man it; when to fos ter her own manufactures she exclud ed those of other countries, and even made the exportation of raw- mate rials felony, and required the dead to be buried in woollen, unto the present time, she has pursued the same poli cy of protection. It is inscribed upon the sails of her ships, stamped upon, the products of her arts, and is evinc ed in every monument of her genius. With her unchangeable position of buying nothing she could produce, she has successfully competed with all competition. Now farmer, apply England's secret to the land you own. Raise hogs, 6heep, corn, hay. In fact, protect yourself by raising, growing and pro ducing, and do not buy. All the Gold on Earth.—Some one with a mathematical mind ha figured it out that aii the gold on earth to-day, in whatever shape—that is, mined gold, or, to put it plainer, the gold in use in all nations and the product of all ages—if welded in one mass, would be contained in a cube of less than thirty feet.—Ex.
