MONEY FOR A NEW ROAD.
Citizens of Augusta Asked to Subscribe
Two Hundred Thousand Dollars.
Augusta, Ga., Aug. 28.—A meeting
of the business men of Augusta was
held in the Cotton Exchange here to
hear the proposition of Mr. Edward A
Richards of Atlanta in the interest of
the construction of the proposed Ten
nessee, Georgia and Atlantic railroad.
Hon. Patrick Walsh was chairman of
the meeting.
Mr. Richards displayed a tnap show 4
ing the line of the proposed railroad,
and showed that when the road was
completed AtigUsta would reap rich ben
efits in freight rates on coal, cotton and
other products from and to the xvest.
His prop ition is that the ]>e pie < ' At ■
gusta subscribe enough toward the
building of the road to warrant the com
pany putting its headquarters and shops
in Augusta. Said Mr. Richards:
yThe road is going to be built whether
this is done or not, but we desire to
place our shops and offices here, and if
the money is raised Augusta will reap
the benefit of having them here. We
want Augusta to subscribe $200,000 in
first mortgage bonds. Chattanooga has
subscribed $300,000 and Washington
$50,000. We want Augusta to subscribe
enough for the building of the line from
here to Athens, which will shorten tho
route to Athens by 13 miles. The route
to Chattanooga will be very nearly a bee
line and the advantages gained will bo
numerous. ”
After Mr. Richards had finished set*
ting forth the advantages of the enter
prise a committee was appointed to so
licit subscriptions. Before the meeting
adjourned a resolution was adopted re
questing the city council of Augusta
to grant to the Tennessee, and
Atlantic Railway company all required
rights of way and terminal facilities in
the city of Augusta.
A Georgia Town Wiped Ont. by Fire,
Quitman, Ga., Aug. 27.—The littlo

i which is one of the largest lumber man-
I ufacturing concerns in the state. The
i fire originated in one of the dry kilns
land soon gained such headway" it was
impossiqle to check it. No estimate of
[ the loss can be made nor as to the
amount of insurance except on the mill
and lumber of the Quit man Lumber
company, which was insured for $45,-
000. This does not cover the loss the
company wull sustain.
Stabbed to Death by His Nephew.
Valdosta, Ga., Aug. 27.—The Dem
ocratic primary for county officers and
a candidate for the legislature held here
was the most interesting contest of the
i kind ever held in the county. There
were numerous candidates for all the
offices, and the rivalry between them
and their friends was lively throughout,
but the lest of humor prevailed at all
the precincts except at Lower Fork,
three miles from Hahira, where Sam
Hodge, one of the managers, was
stabbed to death by his nephew, Plimp
Hodge. The killin is said to have been
the result of an old feud.

. The Colored Voters are Rallying
to the Support of Governor
Atkinson.
Chairman Clay is gratified by the
enthusiastic support which a num
' ber of prominent colored men are
giving Governor Atkinson. Within
* the past few days there have been
strong expressions of this sort From
colored men of high standing. 11. H.
Harrison, one of the most prom
| inent colored men in Atlanta, says
Hon. W. Y. Atkinson has made
tho best governor Georgia has had,
and ought to be elected. He says
the colored people are going to sup
port him.
Bishop Tin .er has taken a stand
for the governor, and R. H. Carter,
a colored man in high standing, is
strongly in favor of the Democratic
nominee. Smii.h Easley announced
several days ago that he would sup
port tho governor.
Bishop Turner regards Governor
Atkinson as a friend of the negro
and will support him for the fur
ther reason that he favors local
option.
After meals you should have
simply a feeling of comfort and
satisfaction. You should not feel
any special indications that digest
ion is going on. If you do, you
have indigestion which meansnot
digestion. This maybe the begin
ning of so many dangerous diseases,
that it is best to take it in hand at
once and treat it with Shaker Di
gestive Cordial. For you know
that indigestion makes poison,
which causes pain and sickness
And that Shaker Digestive Cor
dial helps digestion and cures in
digestion. Shaker Digestive Cordial
does this by providing the digest
ive materials in which the stomach
is wanting. It also tones up and
strengthens tho digestive organs
and-makes them perfectly healthy.
This is the rationale of its method
of cure, as tho doctor would say.

Seab Wright is a demagogue. He
is trying to arouse the prejudices of
the old soldiers against Atkinson
because he won the nomination over
General Evans two years ago. Seab
Wright ought to have the fairness
to tell his audiences that General
Evans is for Governor Atkinson
and will make speeches for him
Seab Wright has no love for tho
old Confederate Soldier. He voted
for Dr. Felton against Geo. N. Les
ter, the one armed hero, showing
conclusively that ho is talking now
for office. He that lives in a glass

He found a Sign. ‘
Floods in lowland countries 1
have thir humorous as well as their E
tragic side. A gent’eman recently 1
returned from the West relates a
little experience he had with a *■
swollen river in Missouri. The
country had been a veritable '
swamp for Borne time and after 1
travelling through it on horseback £
for a week doing business here and ,
there, he says ho arrived at the
bank of the river. There was no ;
way to cross it except by swim- I
ing, so, dismounting, he tied his 1
clothes to the horse, and drove hi in '
into the river, swimming after <
him. Reaching tho other side, he
dressed and continued on his way.
Before going 20 feet, however, he i
c’mo to tho forks of the roads and <
not knowing the corret direction i
he wanted to go, ho looked around I
for a sign . There was none, but <
just across tho river, near the spot i
he had entered to swim across, he |
saw board nailed on a tree. Well, I
there was nothing to do but to I
got in and swim across again, as <
undoubtedly that was the sign con- i
taining the directions. Ho swum i
across, and after climbing up the ,
bank he read the following notice : |
“Five dollars for crossing this
bridge faster than a walk.” I
He says that under the circum- 1
stances the sarcasm of that sign <
put him in a bad humor for the j
rest of the day.

Very little opposition to the dis- 1
peneary law is cropping out in the 1
South Carolina campaign. It seems a
that the people who are opposed t i
it have about given up hope of up- '
setting it for some time, or until
the Tillman regime can be over
thrown. The dispensaryjhas become
a vast political machine in the .
hands of the dominant political el
ement, which is being used with
telling effect in this campaign. All '
of th- patronage of t’-e concern is '
in the governor’s hands, and the
incumb' nt takes care that those
who hold appointments as dispen
sers or constables are his active I
supporters.—Savannah News. :

A Negro’s Views.
A recent issue of the New York
Sun contains an interesting inter
view with Richard R. Wright, pres
ident of tho Georgia State College
for Colored Youths:
Professor Wright is one of tho
most intelligent negroes in Georgia
and the school over which he pre
sides has done excellent work in the
education of the colored youth of
this state.
Professor Wright takes a hopeful
view of tho future of his race in
the south. He speaks in terms of
cordial appreciation of the aid
which Georgia has given to negro
schools and of their excellent in
fluence. Concerning the prospects
of the negro in this state ho says:
“Tho Afro-American is entering
into the spirit of tho times. He is
doing more business, plying more
trades, sustaining a better charac
ter, and is, generally, on better
terms with the world than ever be
fore. In Georgia, notwithstanding
some strange happenings, there is
a growi ng spirit of 1 i berality toward
the Afro-American race. The pres
ent governor is one of the best the
state ever had. The state school
commissioner, Professor Glenn, is
thoroughly in earnest in his work
t > give to all the children of the
state an opportunity to got an ed
ucation.”
This recognition of the efforts of
Governor Atkinson and State
School Commissioner Glenn iu be
half of the colored race expresses
the opinion of the most intelligent
and most trustworthy negro lead
ers in Georgia. They realize that
their people have been treated with
perfect fairness and decided liber
ality by tho present state adminis
tration and are not deceived by tho
misrepresentations of those who
are endeavoring to array them
against their tried friends.—Atlan

It makes no difference who for
mulated the policy of free coinage
of silver, so long as tho policy is
right and Democratic. But the
truth is, as tho people know, the
democratic party in congress and
in all the democratic states had
placed itself behind the movement
fo'.’ the restoration of silvei long
before the Farmers’ Alliance wus*x
organized and long before the pop
ulist party was dreamed of. So far
as Mr. Watson is concerned, it is a
matter of history, and very recent
history at that, that ho was dis
posed to turn his blind side to the
movement in favor of free coinage
of silver. When he first ran as an
independent candidate he made va
rious speeches in which he belittled,
as far as he could, the effects of sil
ver restoration. He made a calcu
lation to show that even if tho
mints were open to silver the relief
the people would experience would
be very emal l indeed, and he offered
as a substitute the sub-treasury
plan or something of that sort.—
