There seems to be almost infallible symptoms of a state of affairs in our country that affords but little oppor tunity to form any settled or reasona ble calculations as to results at the polls in the Presidential election in the fall of 1888. Besides the old time struggle be tween the Democrats and Republicans there seems to be a prospect of Labor candidates, Prohibition candidates, Know-Nothing candidates, and per haps some other kinds in addition to those of the Democratic and Republi can parties. Wo notice that ail official call has been published in Philadelphia for a National Convention to meet in that city on Friday and Saturday, 10th and 17tn of September. This call is made under the name of “the American Party’’ to complete an organization for promoting, among other things, the following specific objects: First, to establish these sentiments: Ameri ca For Americans—the restriction of imuiigratiom—a thorough revision of the national tariff laws—reserving American lands for American citizens only—the protection of Americans in all their rights on land or sea in all parts of the world—to restrict and guard the right of the elective fran chise—to abolish polygamy in the United States immediately and entire ly—to enact and enforce such laws as will tend to eradicate intemperance— to develop the resources of tlie coun try by a wise system of internal im provement—to protect and promote the American system of free common schools—to adjust the relations be tween labor and capital, on a perma nent busis of equity and justice, and especially do we invite tlie representa tives and members of the following organizations to meet and co-operate with us in said Convention, viz: Patri otic order Sons of America, order of United American Mechanics, order of deputy sons of Revolutionary sires, political alliance, United Minute Men, various granges, and all other orders and organizations whose principles and sentiments will enable them to work in the American party on the foregoing basis. This is, unquestionably, a captivat ing prospectus and will engage the attention and secure the approbation of millions of the people of our coun try. Many would hesitate on the eighth proposition, being opposed to Prohibition, but most of them would compromise on hl^h license. When we see the danger likely to result from the increasing numbers of Socialists and Anarchists flocking to our coun try, an. immense number of our peo ple would readily agree to severe re strictions in the emigration laws. The inference drawn from the third prop osition is that the evils resulting from the high duties of the tariff would he removed. Adjusting tlio relations between la bor and capital on a basis of equity and justice would be a matter of diffi cult accomplish ment by legal enact ments, but the proposition is one which commends itself to the respect of all who regard the maxims of uior alty and justice. Men are too much swayed by their passions and their in terests to be easily led to the adoption of measures of reform in their busi ness transactions, but it would be a is issued by what is called the “Exec utive Committee," giving notice that the convention will meet in Philadel phia, and its session will be held on Friday ami Saturday, the 10th and 17til of September ensuing. We shall then know who are the originators of I the movement, and have a fuller in sight into its doctrines and purposes. We have just seen what we publish above anil forthwith penned tlie few statements above; The Piedmont Exposition—Induce ments to Attend. We have on a previous occasion had the pleasure of calling the atten tion of our readers to the Piedmont Exposition, and at that time we were emphatic in expressing our warm ap preciation of its objects, the purpose of its originators and the unquestion ed success which would attend its entire progress. Since then we have had a better opportunity, because more fully informed, to advise the readers of this paper of the extent and attractiveness to which they are invited by this grand display of tlie industry and products of one. of the most interesting portions of our pro gressive country. Before we allude j to particular features of tlie program, let us premise by saying, that this Ex position, though seemingly suspected by some zealous friends of the State Fair to be held at Macon, to have been conceived and intended to in jure the latter, cannot -possibly have that effect, even if the suspicions aroused had any other ground to rest upon than unwarranted apprehen sion. Certainly the Exposition at Atlanta, which opens October 10th, will induce thousands of people to visit Georgia from contiguous Stutes, who would not have otherwise come here, and cause hundreds of new and interesting products of soil and man ufacture, and handicraft, to be brought here that else had remained away ; and if but a portion of these distant visitors and exhibitors come to tlie State Fair, only a few days af ter the Piedmont Exposition closes, to that extent will the State Fair have been benefited. President Northen says the Exposition will be of great benefit to the State Fair, und he is not a man to be easily deceived or to say what he does not conscientiously believe to be true. So much for the charges unwittingly made against the Exposition as a rival and antagonist of tlie State Fair. As before said, tlie Exposition opens on tlie 10th of October. It will close on the 22nd of that month. Now, what will it cost tlie people of Bald win and contiguous counties to visit the Exposition and return? The fare. they can loaf with, smoke with, waltz with and have a nice time generally. Yes. girls; men are not what they seem, and don't you forget it. The safe tiling for yon is to keep them at a respectful distance, and give them to understand, once and for all, that you are not purchasable by attentions and compliments thrown out to entrap you, as little boys scatter bran to en snare tlie unsuspicious sparrows. **» I have no sort of patience with those people who are so excessively utilitarian that they can see nothing admirable, nothing desirable in nature or tlie habits of life that does not sub serve their selfish and contracted no tions of the fitness of things. The brilliant decorations which the Al mighty has thrown about His handi work. are to them only a waste of his providence. Tlie bright flowers, the sweet odors, the rich coloring of clouds, the music of birds, and the weird minstrelsy of n >'nda and woods, are unmeaning and useless expendi ture of tlie creative power. If any of these people get into heaven, (which is questionable,) they would want to pass an ordinance to beat the silver strings of angelic harps into springs to make Waterbury watches, and to substitute old scrap iron for the gold en railways of the New Jerusalem. **• If Solomon wns alive, he would in dite a new song, and his query would be: What shall we do for our little sister, who hath no husband and no children? Not content with the bal lot, with prohibition speeches in the streets they now essay to share the honors of the pulpit and the emolu ments of the office, with the mascu line Doctors of Divinity. What, O, wise King, next! God only knows. The heathen in the wilds of central Africa, fall so far short of the wick edness of modern Sodoms and Go- morrahs, that these petticoat soldiers of salvation must needs invade the sa cred desk, and under the simple evan gelistic habit of Priscilla steal slowly into tiie solemn paraphernalia of tlie Priesthood. Paul is no terror to thes progressive, wageless women, who are educated enough to be vain and foolish, but destitute of every princi ple and sentiment of love implanted by God in the pure type of the sex They call the eloquent man of Tarsus an old fogy, unworthy to stand as an exemplar in tlie times we live in. We can take care of the anarchist and the murderers, the burglars and rapists, but when woman gets into the pulpit, good-bye Liberty, family, sweet angel of Home—farewell mil hope of increased population, and farewell to the Millenium! * * Lisping in a woman is considered by some men a pretty, defect, giving It takes from ten to twenty pounds of tlie nicest, sweetest, freshest coun try home-made butter to buy one moderately line, fashionable hat for Betsy or Bobbie at the milliner's; and then it isn't half as pretty as a '~V5 cents sailor straw hat, with a long, wide, blue ribbon round it. But, oh, just to think what toil it took to make those twenty pounds of butter to buy that stylish hat! The many, many times the cows have been driven to the pasture and home again—the double daily milkings, the scourings of pans, the long, tedious, tiresome churnings, the patient working over and over of the golden grease, the careful preparation for market, the long ride to the city, and home again, before the great big ugly hat is safely landed in the bureau drawer at home! Oh, vanity, vanity! Why dld’st thou choose dear woman for thy victim! * * * When a newspaper man sits down, deliberately studies nnd writes out a bright saying to be put in the mouth of some little tot of six summers, he tells a lie so transparent that the devil is even more disgusted than the person who reads it. *** Four things bother poor human nature more than all others com bined.

Erom Our Exchanges. is one cent a mile each way. pense itemized is just this oing and returning, under 150^ miles, I her sweet words a' most musical double twist. In man, however, it is called stuttering, and is regarded as an unfortunate vocnl accompaniment. In the illustration following, it was rather a tongue-tie than an impedi ment, and was both ludicrous and laughable. There used to live in Saleifi district, Baldwin county, (and he lias been dead only a few years) a man by the name of Jeff. Allen. He was a clever and industrious man. He was a sol dier iu the Florida Indian war in 1880, and fought the redskins as bravely as tlie next man when obliged to do so. On account of his clever domestic and cooking qualifications he was kept about camps to help prepare rations and go on errands in the neighbor hood to borrow little articles which had for one reason and another fallen short iu the box. He was badly tongue-tied, and always in speaking used the letter li in place of the letter s. One day Jeff, was sent out to buy some soap and salt. Going to a widow’s house, and seeing her in the The it is 137 miles from Milledgeville to Atlanta by the way of Macon. At one cent per mile, tliis is one dollar and thirty- live cents to get to Atlanta, and the same to return; or two dollars and seventy cents for the round trip. The cheapest rate ever before offered by the railroads of Georgia for passenger travel. To the above amount add fifty cents for a ticket of admission to the grounds, and t wenty -five cents for the transfer ticket to go out there and back and you have u total of three dollars and forty-five cents, the entire cost of getting to, into, and re turning from the Exposition. If more than one day is spent at Atlanta, of course the expense will be some great er. But few at this distance will care to remain more than one day. Now, as to the attractions. Beyond the opportunity of visiting tlie State Capital, of seeing its many elegant public and private buildings, and of seeing tlie President of the United Status and his beautiful and lovely yard, he thus saluted her ; “Morniu’; young wife, there will be tlie grand- : r av you got any hope to bell?” The est display of fireworks ever seen in I woman not replying, andseeiuingcon- the South. The military^pageant will fused, Jeff, put in another query in a i i. t. i.i louder voice, thus : “I hay, ’av you be unequalled. A torch light proces sion of the Democratic league at night, in which it is expected ten thousand people will take part, will be a brilliant feature, and call to mind exciting scenes of the long ago. There will be stables containing over one hundred of the finest race horses in the country; balloon ascensions daily; bicycle races, extensive poultry show, stock and cattle display, all sorts of farm products, and then the exposi tion itself, which will embrace every variety of manufactured articles and some of the finest works of art, own ed by private parties, in the United States. The floor space of the expo-! make' soup for a sic sition building covers seven acres of ground. These are some of the feat ures promised by the management of this great Interstate Show, which we believe will be more than realized by tlie visitor who is so fortunate as to be present. Let the people of Cen tral Georgia go anil see it all, and in duce tlieir friends to come down and see the State Fair at Macon. , ay, any halt to hell?” By this time the woman was furious, and she sick’d about a dozen dogs on Jeff., who, got away from that settlement as fast os his lege Would let him. When he re turned to camps he told his mishap to his comrades, and added that “if any of ’em wanted hope and halt they might bend liumbody else.” Another instance quite laughable occurs to the writer, as happening in Milledgeville many years ago. A bright little boy, who had a combina tion of stutter and tongue-tie, was sent out by his mother to buy a chicken to . member of the family. He had a habit like Jeff. Allen of using one letter in place of another. Going to a poultry uian, who was waiting on several custom ers, the boy said, “Hay, m-m-isther, is you got a hicken to make bum lioop for a hick man ?” Of course all laugh ed, but some of us didn’t laugh us much as others did. Merriwether county, at an oloo- tion last week, went wet by 800 majority. The Hancock fair will embrace October 13, 14 anti 15. There was no shock of an earth quake felt in Georgia on tlio 31st of August, the anniversary of the memorable one of 188G. The negroes were very much alarmed in Charleston on last Wednesday, through fear of the earthquake’s return. Churches were kept open all night and many negroes spent the night iu them singing and praying. I. O. McDaniel, father of the ex-Governor, died at Altoona, Monday, and was buried at At lanta Tuesday. He was 80 years of age. F. M. Huckaba, of Lowell dis trict, Carroll county, says ho is now about GO years of age aud never bought a store pair of pants, hat, boots or shoes. He lias them all made at home. The Ordinary of Washington county has entered into posses sion of the army building, at Sandersville, under the provisions of the deed made to Howell’s bat tery, by which the property re verted to tlio county six months after the disorganization of said company. Daldonega Signal: A good many people are accustomed to use peach tree bark tea when sick. So wo will give them some thing new—at least to us—which several good citizens have vouch ed for as the truth: When tea is made from bark that is skinn ed off upward, the tea acts as an emetic; when skinned downward, it acts as a cathartic. The increase in the value of taxable property iu the State will approximate an amount between $12,000,000 and $13,000,000. Next year this increase will be consid erably larger, as there will be quite a number of factories and other enterprises that have been free from taxation subject to the usual rate. There was a secret anti-Prohi- bitionist meeting at the Kimball House, at Atlauta, Monday, at which it is reported leading antis and liquor men were present, and letters were read from liquor men elsewhere pledging sympathy and support to the movement, and urging the Atlanta antis to or ganize at once and get ready for another election. It is further rumored that about $100,000 was subscribed for campaign purposes. For some days past tlio police of Atlanta have been working up a case of a peculiar nature. Two white women left a baby with a negro woman and mysteriously disappeared. The baby was at first supposed to be white, but was found afterward to be a mu latto. Susie Dunning, the whito mother of tlio baby, was arraign ed in a Justice court Monday, but was discharged upon a state ment that sho was willing to take Cfue of the child and prove that she is worth $25,000. She is 17 years old. It is remarked that the agricul ture of all countries which pro duce large numbers of live stock in in a flourishing condition. They aro rather buyers than sellers of forage grains. Indispensable to the Toilet.

Miij.hdgeville, Ga., August 30. —In the Constitution of Sunday under the head of “Queer Advice from the Asylum,” there appeared a dispatch from Dalton to tlio ef fect that Mrs. Mattie Wright bad been sent back to her homo in that county as a harmless lunatic. Later, violenco developed, when advice was received from the asy lum authorities to “whip her.” This charge being brought to the attention of Dr. J. M. Whitaker, superintendent pro tom, lie said: There is uo foundation for any such remark. We never ad vised any one to whip an unfort unate insane person. On the con trary, we always advise gentle ness and kindness. Wo did send Mrs. Wright home under tlie act for sending harmless and incura ble patients back to the counties they came from. We did write them that while in the asylum she was harmless, but we deny most positively, and can show copy of every letter ever written (as we keep a copy of all official letters), that we ever advised anyone to whip a poor lunatic. Mrs. Wright was received into the asylum 12th September, 1883, and was removed the 25th May, 1886, un der the act of the general assem bly to return chronic, harmless cases to their counties. She was received tlie second time on the 19tli of August, 1887. As soon as we found out that she was vio lent, wo wrote them to send her back. While here she was per fectly harmless.. Wc had her in the harmless ward, and as sho had given us so little trouble, we thought she could remain at home, and if she was violent she became so after leaving tlie insti tution. She lias been back iu the institution since the 1‘Jtb inst.”— Constitution 31st. Children Starving to Death On account of their inability to digest food, will find a most marvellous food and remedy in Scott’s Emulsion of Pure Cod Liver Oil with Hypophos- pliites. Very palatable and easily di gested. Dr.’S. W. Cohen of Waco, Texas, says: “I have used yonr Emulsion in Infantile wasting with good results. It not only restores wasted tissues, but gives strength and increases the appetite.” Dr. Charles C. Garrett, Culvert, Texas, says: “I have used your Emulsion for over a year, and have derived much benefit from it in the maras mus of children, being tolerated by the stomach when all other medica ments were rejected.” [9 lm She Ate up Her Family. Minneapolis, Minn., Aug. 25.— The Journal’s Winnipeg special says: “Letters from Messrs. Frazier and Stewart, dated Ft. Chippowyan, July 5, state that they reached that point after many hardships. Forest fires have boeu numerous and destruc tive. The destitution at Ft. Chip- pewyan last winter was terrible, and several cases of cannibalism aro reported; one old woman at Little lied river having killed and eaten her whole family. Starva tion and cannibalism are also re ported from McKenzie river. A Good Appetite Is essential to good health; bt»* mb this season it is often lost, owing t» the poverty or Impurity of the blood, derangement of the digestive organa, and tlie weakening effect of tfo* ohanging season. Hood’s Sareaparit la is a wonderful medioine for creat ing an appetite, toning the digestion, and giving strength to the who!* sye tern. Now is the time to take if. ft* - sure to get Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Col. James H. Smith, of Oglethorpe, is planting a great deal of land in ev er blooming mulberries, and says h* will go extensively into the business-. Col.Smith says the mulberry will liutk/V tlie most enduring postsaml cross ties known, and is also a tree of most rapsi growth. He thinks that cross-tin- timber is getting so scarce that it wilt have to he cultivated, and suvs that one acre of land planted in trees suitable for this purpose will pay bet ter than cotton or anything else you can grow. “MoUE PnECIOT'H THAN Rubies.” —Would it not please you to pick up strings of pearls, drops of gold, diamonds, and precious stones ns you pass along the street? It would make you feel happy fo* a month to come. Such happi- nosa you could give to others. How, do you ask? By dropping sweet words, kind remarks nnd ploasant smiles as you piss along. These are true pearls and precious stones which can never be lost; of which none can deprive yon. Speak to that orphan eliild; se^ tlio diamonds drop from he* chooks. Take the liaml of tlie friendless boy; bright pearls flash in his eyes. Smilo on the 3ui? and dejected; a joy suffuses his cheek more brilliant than the most precious stones. By the wayside amid the city’s din, and at the fireside of the poor, drop words and smiles to cheer and, bless. You will feel happier when resting on your pillow at the close of the day than if you had picked a score of perishing jewels. The latter fade arxl crumble in time: the former grow brighter with age and product lasting happiness. A NAMELESS CASE. My case has been a very curious one for about thirteen years. At inter vals of about one week I would be attacked with spells of severe arid most excruciating pain, always coin mencing in the region of my I idney>. The pain would then go upwards iuu! affect my body and bead, and seem ed to penetrate my very eye haljj. creating the most intense suffering lasting about eight hours each spc)J I resorted to all kinds of medicim without benefit.
