Young Emperor William and the old man could not agree. The branch college at Cnthbert wants more money out of the land script fuud, and is appealing to the University trustees to be more liberal. The old oapifol in Atlanta has been sold to Joel Hurt for one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars.— He will try to sell it to Atlanta for a city hall, asking no advance. There are 400.000 acres in the Oke- fenokee swamp. It tnay be drained and eultivafpd. It is finely timbered and it is probable that the purchasers have obtained a prize of great value. Presiding Elder Gibson of Cumming favors doing away with trustees' of church property, class leaders and sec retaries of church conferences as ex- officio members of the quarterly con ference. A Georgia editor who misses the trip to Florida and Cuba, will get even when blackberries come and wa termelons are cut. All the Cubas in the world are not equal to those ber ries and those “millions”. The architect is at work on the de sign for the Girls 1 Industrial College buildirgR. He has before him the plans of every similar institution in the United States and promises some thing perfect for Georgia. Editors are by no means fools. A Western paper was asked to publish the Tpn Commandments, but the ed itor refused upon tho plea that Rome of bis subscribers would regard the publication as intended for them. General Jones M. Withers, of Mo bile, died on Saturday morning, 15th He was Tor several terms mayor of Mobile, once a member of the legisla ture of Alabama, editor of the Mobile Tribune for a time, and a gallant Con federate officer. Low Prices—What Caused Them? The very low prioes of the substan tial articles necessary for the susten- tation of life in man and beast—corn and meat—the former 40 cents, or may be 50 cents a bushel, and meat at five and a half cents a pound, shows how much good has already been effected by large corn, oat and hay crops last year and the unusual amount of meat that was home raised. But for the long warm weather of the winter just closed, causing the spoiling of much meat and the large auiouut of corn farmers had to feed to their hogs, waiting for a suitable season to kill them, there would have been plenty of corn for the Georgia farmers to have carried them through tills year without buying a bushel of Western corn. One farmer in Baldwin, (and he doesn’t run a large farm) told us a few days ago that he fed away 150 bushels of corn to his hogs, which he had expected to save for other home purposes, the present year. The in jury to the oat crop by recent freezes should be a warning to farmers to jut in large corn crops even at this ate day. One more heavy corn crop tliis year would put the farmers of the country squarely on top, and cause them to cease to be “hewers of wood and drawers of water” for spec ulators and monopolists. Gov. Gordon on the Race Problem. In an interview, a few days ugo, with a correspondent of the New York Times, on public matters, the Governor thus spoke about the raco problem; “Continuing, the Governor said; ‘There is no race problem to solve. There is no problem except that which is made by the polltiolans.and news papers. The negroes are accorded all their rights. We feat uo war of races. We have our colored military as well as the white. Tho uniforms, guns and rations are issued to both; the blacks receive exaotly tho same pay and the same treatment as the whites. Does this look like war between the races? We have bad men among us, as you do in tho North. We would rid ourselves of them if we could, but the great mass of the people are the true friends of the colored man and treat him fairly in every way.— Walk about the city to-day and you will see working upon every building that is being constructed, tho black and white man, side by side, cheerful and contented. They have no wran gles and never create any disturb ance.” N- MILLEDGEVILLE, GEORGIA. Tumber of Professor* and Teachers I Number of Pupils bn»t Session 428. Doors open to both Hexes.

The Covington Star says: A shoe factory, that would make all classes of work, would do a good business in Covington. The Star says it would take the whole product of a pretty good size factory to supply the people of that city and county alone. Covington is a small city, about half the size of Milledgeville. Why not a shoo factory here? The Southern Cultivator, as an ex ponent of Agriculture, in its every phase, as it exists in the Southern States, is unsurpassed in the power and excellence which mark every number. Especially was the March number admirable. Not only is it most ably conducted in every depart ment. but it is a gem in its typogra- phy— its paper, type and engravings are as near perfection us the art could make them. Thk Peach Crop all Right.-Mcs- srs. J. B James of Marshallville and W F Warren of Powersville, both prominent peach growers were in the city yesterday. They say that after a thorough examination of their or chards they find very little damage was done to the peach crop by the cold wave of March 2, and that the freeze of last Sunday did no damage to them at all. These gentlemen say they look for a heavy peach crop this season.-Macon Telegraph, March 19th. A Negro Pensioner.—There is a negro in Georgia drawing a pension of twenty-five dollars a month from the government. His name is Henry Saffold, and he lives in Penfield, Greene county. Saffold, it seems, ran away from his home in Greene and went into the army as an attendant upon a union 6oldier. He contracted a disease in the service which has in capacitated him for work since and the other day, after working on the matter for two years, Mr. Carlton sue needed in getting his name on the pen sion roll- He draws .$25 a month.- Exchange. _ The Chattanooga News says, there has been considerable comment in Chattanooga upon the Me* advanced at a recent meeting of the Chamber of Commerce by Col. Tomlinson Fort to build a canal via Rome, Ga., con necting Chattanooga and this section uirectl v with South America. Hesug- Sthat a canal could be built by It was a good thought on the part of the Editors of the New England Magazine, who are givmg us so much of interest concerning the South, to reprint in their March number, along with a portrait of Henry W. Grady, his stirring speech at New York three years ago on the New South, which first drew to him the attention of the country. It is good to iiave the speech preserved in this worthy form. Mr. Talmage in his recent memorial ser mon on Mr. Grady, spoke as follows of this great speech: “The bravest speech made for the last quarter of a oentury was that made by Mr. Grady at the New Eng land dinner in New York about two or three years ago. I sat with him that evening, and know something of his anxieties, for he was to tread on dangerous ground and might by one misspoken work antagonize forever both sections. His speech was a vic tory that thrilled all of us who heard him and who read him. That speech, great for wisdom, great for kindness, great for pacification, great for brave ry, will go down to the generations with Webster’s speech at Bunker Hill, William Wirt’s speech at the arraign ment of Aaron Burr, Edmund Burke’s speech on Warren Hastings, Robert Emmett’s speech for his own vindica tion.” tl8 3 im U mertG?«T 0plnf ?

Olive oil has held that rank in the estimation of scientists and medical men from the earliest period of recorded history. It is only of late years that analyses by chemists, experiments in diet by emi nent physicians, and practical use by skillful housekeepers have combined to demonstrate that in every respect and for all uses the oil of the cotton seed is equal to that of the olive. This fact once established, a market will be made for pure cotton seed oil that will be coextensive with that uow occupied by olive oil It will, indeed, become its ooin- S etitor in all parts of the world. The [buufacturers’ Record of Baltimore, believing that the time has come when the South should make a vigorous move in behalf of cotton seed oil, in stead of simply acting on the defen sive in the repeated assaults made in Congress on the purity of this oil, af ter un elaborate investigation, has ac cumulated a mass of information, and proposes to publish next week the first of a series of articles that will cover the whole subject. In these it will be shown beyond controversy or shadow of doubt that cotton-seed oil is the best salad oil in the world, and that it should be put upon the mark et on its merits, bearing its own name, aud its excellence for all culinary pur poses be persistently set forth until it receives popular approval and enters into as universal consumption as but ter or lard. These articles, which wiil run through several months, will S rove of immense value to the whole outh, by greatly widening the mark et for cotton seed oil. The Statesman—Gov. Geo. M. Troup. Editor Union Recorder: It is well now and then to lookback aud see what our fathers and the act ors in political affairs thought fifty or sixty years ago, when there were great political questions in which the rights of the States aud the Federal Government made issues. In the days of Gov. Troup when he was Governor, there were very live issues, and resistance to Federal au thority was becoming a fact. Gov. Troup was the man for the day aud the occasion. As known, he was Gov ernor frotu'1828 to 1827; also a mem ber in Congress in 1812, and United States Senator in 1832. Gov. Troup wag a statesman, not the time serviug partisan, now so fashionable iimoug public men. He was a man of decided principles aud firm convictions. I give you some of his wiHe aud far-sighted views. Would that we had such men to-day to speak out without fear, favor or affection for any party. It was during his administration that the Indian question assumed a most 'momentous importance. The right of the State of Georgia to man age her own affairs in her own way was demanded and enforced by Gov. Troup. He did not fear to tell the President of the United States that he would not; permitHany interference with the rights of Georgia. His treatment of Gen. Gaines, and his let ters to^the President meant business. Hear him: “I demand, therefore, as chief mag istrate of Georgia, his immediate re o&ll, his arrest, trial and punishment, under the rules and articles of war.” Gen. Gaines, as General in the U. S. Army thought he could come into Georgia and do just what lie pleased. But Gov. Troup opened his eyes very quickly. Troup had him recalled at any rate. STATE RIGHTS. “The States are sovereign,tor they are not. We prove the affirmative by the Declaration of Independence, and the articles of confederation—let the Federal Party prove the negative if they can.” COERCION. “There cannot be a greater fallacy than that the Union is to be preserv ed by a power in the General Govern ment to coerce the States. The exist ence of soverignty excludes the idea of force. Ours is a Government of opinion, of consent, of voluntary as sociation ; the only guarantee for union is jnstioe; justice seoures good feeling, fidelity, affection, and nothipg but justice can secure them.” SECESSION—PROPHECY. “If any one believes there can be a dissolution without tbe most bloedy contests, lie deceives himself; and he who is best armed is likely to be the most successful.” “When States cease to have an in terest in the Union, or suffer extreme oppression, it is better that they withdraw peaceably, than that blood should be shed in tbe ooutests, which seldom decide anything, and which are apt to separate tbe parties forev er." STATESMANLIKE ADVICE. ‘Violations of the Constitution ad mit ef no degrees, and I would ab stain from following tho example of the North.” “If you make a voluntary conces- cession of what you have no right to claim, it will only afford a pretext, in future, to ask more, to insist on ttie ell, because we have given the inch.” Wonderful truth in the above. Con gressmen of tlie South, arouse your selves before it is too late—too late. “You cannot compromise a power or principle of the Constitution. If you could it would soon be a different thing—both from what it is and from what it was intended to be.” "Under a government founded on consent and opinion, evils are to bo borne as long as possible.” “The States, in virtue of their sov- erignty, when evils are no longer sup portable, must judge the evil aud the remedy.” “The only Constitutional remedy for Unconstitutional laws—is the bal lot box.” Such are a few of the views of a statesman, who was an intellectual giaut in his day, from fifty to seventy years ago, of whom Jefferson said: “A more clear headed constitutional man does not sit in Congress.” R. M. o. Washington Letter. From Our Regular Correspondent. Washington, D. C., March. 17, 1890. Editors Union-Recorder: Ex-Speaker Carlisle’s statements showing that the appropriations con templated by the repnblican majority would leave a deficiency in the Tres- sury, has caused Mr. Cannon chair man of the House Appropriation com mittee to make a statement which he calls an answer to Mr. Carlisle. Mr. Cannon leaves out a number of ap propriations that tbe republioansgene- rally have pledged their party to make. Time will tell which state ment is correct. For the sake of the country Mr. Carlisle would not ob ject to having Mr. Cannon prove to be right. Poor Mr. Harrison, he is indeed to l>e pitied when even Jay Hubbell can come to Washington and abuse him through the medium of a newspaper interview. It is a mistake to suppose that the Oklohouia bill which passed the House last week opened the Cherokee strip to settlement, and Mr. Harrison has issued a proclamation of warning to people inteudiug tp settle tbere- ou. A resolution passed by the House calls on the Secretary of War for in formation as to the money and facili ties he has for rendering aid on the flooded Mississippi river. The World's Fair bill has been per fected according to the ideas of the Chicago folks and it will probably come up in the House this week. Nothing has been agreed upon as to date. Tbe Government appropria tion is $1,500,000. The wonderful egg is at last hatch ed, and the prodiict-Represontative Lodge’s Federal election bill—has been reported to tho House. It is a remarkable concoction, and is claim ed to be based upon the Australian system of voting humorous. “Papa,” said tbe little one, “Will there be newspapers in heaven?” "Perhaps, my child, but there will be a new set of editors aod repor ters.”—Dixon (III.) Telegraph. “I had an article accepted by the editor of the Gazette yesterday," Baid "What was it about?” “About forty inches around. It was a pumpkin.”—New York Sun. “You don’t, seem to be getting aloDg very well,” said the man in the operating chair. “No,” replied the dentist; “I have struck a snag.”—Munsey’t Week ly- A compositor on the Journal recent ly got a marriage notice by mistake among a lot of items under the cap tion of ‘Wrecks and Disasters of 1889,' and when the foreman heard that the groom was a clerk in a dry goody store at eight dollars a week, he said it had better remain under that head.—Truth. A young lady asked an editor this extraordfnaryquestion—Do you think it right for a girl to sit on a voting man’s lap, even if she is engaged? Whereupon the editor told this extraordinary lie—We have had no ex perience in the matter referred to, Why didn’t he say—If it was our girl aud our lap, yes; if it was another girl and our lap. yes; but if it was our girl and another fellow’s lap, never, never, never!—Wayback As- touisher. Out in a town (far, far away from the United States) of Michigan, there jives a man who, although a “West erner,” has by long years of study and reading of incoraprehensijjle books and pouring over musty tomes, acquired the Boston language until he can spoak it like a native. One night, they tell aie, the building in which this wise man had Ids rooms caught fire. Tho flames crept on; they The everlasting and eternal race j „ por ; him ftl)8orbe d* in study, juestion has been up again in the , the clothing had not been more than half burned off his back before be realized what was going on. Rush ing out into the street he lifted up his voice and gave tbe terrible alarm that thrills the stoutest heart: “Cou ttagratioti! Hasten hither with the mechanical apparatus designed for the suppression of combustiou.”— Burdette. The Girls’ Industrial School. From tfio Brunswick, Ga., Times. I want to make a suggestion to tbe honorable trustees of the Girls' In dustrial school, which is soon to be established at Milledgeville : Gentle men, don’t go outside of Georgia for a president to manage the institution. There are men—and women, too- born and reared in Georgia, who are fully competent to preside over the new school; don’t slight these men and women. Fruit and Vegetables Killed. Atlanta, Ga., March 17.—Fruit and vegetables the State over are consid : ered irretrievably ruined by the cold of Saturday and Sunday. Commis sioner Henderson thinks that all has been lost. Oats are also believed to be badly injured, if not entiroly kill ed, in some sections of the State.— This is a heavy calamity on the truck growers. When the Atlanta Constitution tries its best to be funny it Is more serious, in tbe eyes of other people, than a case of relapsed grippe. Senate. Whenever some republican Senator lias a fit of indigestion and feels disgusted with himself and every body else he gets up and fires off something about the poor “nig ger.” Senator Voorhees and Judge Jere miah Wilson will help in the defense of C. E. Kincaid, the newspaper man wiio killed Ex-Congressman Taulbee, of Kontucky. There’s a regular monkey and parrot time going on In the navy depart ment. Secretary Tracy has forced the head of one bureau to resign and it is said there are others to follow. Naval officers accuse Mr. Tracy of be ing whimsical in his ideas. Republican Senators have had the nerve to engage in a revolt against (Quay’s bossiug. Quav, according to the story, demanded that the present Sergeant—at—Anus of the Senate should be put out to make room for one of his meu and a majority of the republican Senators, not only refused to agree to this, but intimated in very plain language to Quay’s agent—the boss being still in Florida that even if there was a vacancy in the oflioo ills man could not have it. Tbe question now is whether Quay will quietly pock et the affront, or whether lie will at tempt to whip enough of the Senators into line to control a party caucus and attempt to get revenge. According to high republican an thority, they will only require about $50,000,000 a year to pay ttie pensions under the bill that they propose pass mg at this sessiou. That will bring the pension payment up to more than $150,000,000 a year, a mere tri fie. A republican appointed to u $4,500 Federal office in New York last week by Mr. Harrison is a defaulter for a large a amount to the Government. The defalcation occurred in this city some years ago. Secretary Noble considers his au thority greater than that of the Sen ate arid accordingly refused to furnish certain reports, relating to the with holding of land patents in tho Union Pacific railroad grants asked for by a resolution of the Senate. He holds that it is a matter for him to decide upon. Mr. Reed has undertaken another big contract. He says he intends to attempt to break up the practice of ex-members of Congress acting as lobbyists. Another attempt is being made to have the Government adopt paper fractional currency for convenience in small transactions through the mails. Senator Eustis convicted Senator Hoar of making awillful misstatement on the floor of the Senate last week, but that will not prevent the Massa chusetts Senator doing the same thing again wheneverit my happen to serve ids purpose. The Senate is to get rid of the Blair educational bill by voting on it Thurs day. The minority of the House commit tee on Territories has made a report against the bill for the admission of Idaho. Macon Building Aisociation. There is no better school than' the building associations of Maoon for f iraetically instructing their members n tho methods of business and eeou- oiny. The greatest benefit conferred by building associations, however, is the large number of separate and oomfortable homes they have enabled their members to acquire. Any system, society or organization that enables a man to save his money, to become a better and more useful citizen, that is fatal to communistic and socialistic doctrines, that is a standing menace to lawlessness of any kind, that dots the country over with thousands of comfortable and happy homes, that is by its influence teacldng lessons that are Biire to re dound to the good of the individual and community in general, should certainly rank among the foremost benefactors of the age. All this and much more in a quiet, and unosten tatious way, the building association is doing. The foundation of every good gov ernment is the family; and the nation that can count the greatest number of happy firesides is the best, most durable and most prosperous nation. Building associations have dotted the country over with hundreds of thous ands of happy homes, and by their wholesome influence in other ways are wortli to the state more than tea times the capital they represent. They are contributing in no small de gree to make Macon a oity of homes, and are arousing a spirit of emula tion that is full of promises tor the future.—Macon News. The Best Result. Prince Bismarck has resigned the German Ghancelorship, and is suc ceeded by Gen. Von Caprivi. The cause is said to be a family matter. Augusta is moving with a commen dable spirit to make the exposition in that city next fall a grand snooess, Every ingredient employed in pro ducing Hood's Sarsaparilla is strictly pure, and is the best of its kind it is possible to buy. All the roots and nerbs are carefully selected, personal ly examined, and only the best re tained. So that from the time of purchase until Hood’s Sarsaparilla is prepared, everything is carefully watched with a view to attaining the best results. Why don’t you try it? The Okeefenokee swamp lands have been sold to a wealthy syndicate con sisting of Frank Coxe, or North Caro lina; Marshall A. Phillips, of Pennsyl vania; H. S. Little, of New Jersey; Gen. P. M. B. Young and Capt. Har ry Jackson, of Georgia. The price paid was twenty-Btx and one-half cents per acre. This is fourteen cents more per acre than the minimum price set by the legislature. The Bulloch county tiger hunt was successful. The county turned out en masse and surrouuded the beast. A volley of fifteen shots laid him low. The tlger.wasa circus escape. It is true economy to use Dr. Ball’s Baby Syrup when the baby is teeth* ing. You will B&ve yourself many a restless night. It costs only 25 cents.
