Who will nr who can taka his place? No
one, mid in him Georgia will loso
one of the grandest intellects she has
or over will produce.
Tlio good people of Georgia ought
to see the importance of sending good
pien to the L<'gislaturer. Very grave
questions will come up before it, and
the very best men iu tlio State ought
to be there to meat thep) and
pettto them iu the interest of the
peoplo.
Thero 6eems to he, some little de¬
maud for South West Georgia lands at
prQjenf. To all experienced, thrifty
farmers, who want to make money
farming, we would say come to Cal-
lioun, Bakor or Early to buy your
lands. Tlio lands lu re aro rich, pro¬
ductive and cheap, and will always
raise abundant o.-ops when properly
cuHivMcd.
The government expenditures dur-
log the fiscal year 1881-&2 show a
total smaller by about $1,000,000 than
the total for the previous year. This,
without examination, might be taken
as proof of economy. In fact, it is
not. The annual dept charge wi\s di¬
minished 811,000,000 between the two
years; so that instead of a reduction
of general expenditures there was an
increase of about 810,000,000.
Great demands will be made upon
Hie United States for breadstnils sub-
sequent upon the ., disturbed condition
pf Egypt aud tho unfavorable outlook
or European crops. A demand fo,-
food from America means a continua*

Hon of high prices for many
pecessaries of life. The Southern far ■
pier who made his small grain, and .is
snaking his corn supply will he lucky

Tito Nominations
Well, tlio convention and contention
arc tilings of tlio past, and tins week
we unfurl the State Democratic ban-j
ner from our DM tbead. The gentle- .
mnn wIioh- tianm app< are as can lid ate j
for tlie governorship of Oeoigia is
perhaps as well known in almost every
State in the Union as in this of his
nativity. Physically a dwarf, m n-
tally a g ant, liis name and fame will
go sounding down to posterity for
years to come as nno of which the pen-
pie w ill ever be prom) and feel honor-
od that Georg n is his place of birth,
Nothing could have been more fitting
at this time, when his physical Minis
-lowly but surely sinking adowu the
doclirio of life, and the shadows are
growing gradually longer and darker,
than to have crowned him with a
gift so b« fitting his noble brow, hoary
with years and honors. Alexander
Hamilton St<-ppns, as governor of
Georgia will have no peer among the
Executives of the-.e ( nih il Sta es.
Hon. Thos. Hardeman is just the
man for the place for winch he h**
been nominated a candidate. We
cm an not mi o iim >o poo
nor anything but what he people of
Goorgta know. 4Ve shall Consider it
a pleasure and privilege to c i4 our
vote for such a man and feel that we
will have reason to be proud of ban as

Barnett, Secretary of State, D. N.
Speer, Treasure, W. A. Wright,
Comptroller General, Clifford Anders
son % Attorney General are gentles
men tried and true, and the conven-
ticn did honor to herself as well ns
them in renominating them to the oth¬
ers they so ably filled in the past.
M’o hope there will bo no dissension
in the ranxs of the party. The enndi.
dales arc nominated by a democratic
convention nod it behooves every man
who ealls himself a true Democrat
to support tiie ticket. This above all
others is not the time for disruption
and all thinking and reasonable men
will see the necessity of concentration
in movement for radicalism is always
on the alert for a breach in the wall
to use their foul means to obtain
the reins of government.
Senator Hill's Condition.
Yesterday Senator Hill was some ¬
what weaker than on the previous
day. IIu concluded the writing of
his will. The Chicago Tribune, of
Saturday has the following;
Dr. Nicho Frnncis Cooke of this
city received a dispatch yesterday
from Mr. B. II. /Till, Jr. concerning
•he condition of ins father, Senator
Hill. Dr. Cooko was calloil on yester¬
day foraoopy of the dispatch, and
was found busy looKing over the
proofs of an article on ‘Antiseptic
Medication ; or Declnts Method. 1
The doctor wanted to know how it
Imd been found out that ho had re¬
ceived such a dispatch, and declined
to give the diagnosis in detail as
given iu Hie telegram without the cou*
scut of tlio family. Finally he conpanD
ed to sail just out side tlio circum¬
ference of professional etiquette.
'I have received,* said the doctor,
‘a dispatch giving an explicit diag
nosis of Senator Hill's condition, and
asking me to go to Atlanta in consul¬
tation over liis case, if in niy judg ¬
ment there might still be hope. In
reviewing tho diagnosis I have felt
compelled fo answer that the caso is
hqpeless. Should I obtain tho con
sent of the family I will givo the di¬
agnosis in detail of this most remark¬
able cancer, It is exceedingly inter¬
esting. ‘
In answer fo the question if he con¬
sidered this caso a test of Dr. Declat's
STStpm 0 f treating consumption can¬
cers. etc., Dr. Cookc said: ‘la the
latter part of May, while Sennoor Hill
was at Eureka springs, the phenic
acid treatment qf Dr. Deelat
was to arrest the progress of the dis-
ease and gave hope for a time, but
has not been persisted in with suffi-
cient pertinacity,' doubtless from tho 1
fact that the case was so obviously
hopeless. It cannot be regarded as
in any sense a faip test of this system
of treatment.
Col. J/ardeman may get ready for a
boom, ns is indicated bythe following
fiom the Cartersville American: ‘A
petition will be circulated during the
present week among tho court house
people nsKing the lion. Thos Harde-
man Democratic nominee for Congress

Hardeman is one of the finest orators
in the South,and it would be a great
treat to our people to Lear him.*

The Corn Crop of 1882-
As great interest is felt, in the grows
ing corn crop, and as general desire
exists to know how the government j
report* will compare with the general j
statement of abundant crops from nil
parts of the country, we copy the fob
lowing from the Agricultural. Depart*,
ment. The crop in the Gulf State is
now made, and the high figures put
down for those States will, therefore
be particularly gratifying.

The conditk-n cf corn i3 marked
low from late planting, cold and wet
weather, and replanting after hoods,
hut has been improving during June,
and is generally in fair vigor and ac¬
tive growth, promising far better cons
dition in August, should the season
continue as favorable as at this date.
The general average is 85, against DO
in J nly Inst year, beforo the disastrous
drouth set iu. It is abort; 100 iu all

largest acreage stand lowest of all in
condition.
Upon this area and condition a
medium yield, producing 1,700,000,-
000 bushels, is scarcely possible.
With the yield of last year tho pro¬
duct would exceed 1,200,000,000.
Tho range of possibilities covers
500,000,000 bushels, the result depen-
dout upon tiie meteorological condi¬
tion of tho succeeding eighty days.
Cotton.— Cotton has improved
since the 1st of June, its average con-
dition being three points better on
the 1st of July. From Virginia to
Georgia and west of the Mississippi,
every State shows higher figures.
From Florida to Missisppi aud Ten¬
nessee, condition has slightly ileclin-
cd.
The general average is 92, which is
higher tbau iu July of 1873 and 1874,
and lower than many other year for
the past Ipu.
The total visible supply ,of cotton ou
last .Friday was 1,773,693 bales against
2,000,335 in 1881, and agaiust 1,709,
135 bales in 18?0, Thrga figures in¬
dicate a decrease in the vissible sup ■
ply of cotton on last Friday night of

1881, were 4,648,865 bates, against 5,s

Reduction of Taxation.
The senate decided on Thursday to
take up the internal revenue bill. The
bill as it Rtauda repeats taxes od capital,
deposit* of banks and bankers, and on
and after Mav 1883 the starao tax on
bank checks, drafts, orders and vouch-
era, the tar on matches nod on
proprietary articles, The hill further
provides that after the 1st of May,
1883, dealers in leaf tobacco shall pay
812; dealersin manufactured tobacco,
$2.40; all manufactures of tobacco,
SC; manufacturers of cigars; $6; ped-
dler of tobacco cigars and snuff, spec-
ial taxes as follows: First class, 830,
second class, 815; third class, 87.50;
fourth class, 83G0; retail dealers in
leaf tobacco, 2.50, and thirty cents
for each dollar on the aro,t of their
monthly sales in excess of tiie rate of
8500. Other seetions of the bill, on
and after January 1,1883, reduce the
tax on cigais to 84 a thousand, and
seventy-five cents a thousand, and on
Bessemer steel to 820 a toD.
It will readily be seen that the pen¬
ding bill brings very little relief to
the mass of the people, although it
very considerably reduces the income
cf tle government. Excepting the
i(om in re fation to matches, the bill is
wholly in the interest of capital and
spec inl iut,-rests. and on this around
W lll be generally opposed by the dem-
ocratic senators. The hill might get
Fa [ e ]y through by snob opposition;
but it cannot well escape the perils of
overloading, nearly every senator liav-
ing at least one amendment ou hand
t] )at he desires to incorporate in the
bill. Mr. Vest wauts to protect native
sparkling wines by a duty of twenty
cents ou each quart, Mr. Miller, of
New York, wants to regulate the
manufacture of vinegar by the alcho-
holic vaporizing process. Mr. Beck
thinks a tax of 814 a ton on Bessemer
steel rails is Enough. Mr. Plumb
wants the duty of 25 per cent on ail
molasses repealed. Mr. Vance pro¬
poses a repeal of duty for ten years on
all kinds of machinery used exclusive¬
ly in the manufacture of cotton or
woolen goods; a reduction of fifty per
cent on Dace, halier and fence chains
made of wire, mill irons and crauks
of wrought iron, cut nails an:l spikes,
horse shoe nails and wood screws; a
reduction to 50 per cent of the exist¬
ing rates oji flannels, blankets, bats of
wool, knit goods, woolen and worsted
yarns, and all manufacturers of every
description, composed wholly or id
part of worsted, the hair or the alpaca
goat or other like animals, valued at
not exceeding forty cents per pound;
50 per ceut of existing rates on all
cast iron vessels, stoves stove plates,
east iron bolts and hinges, and on all
holloa'ware, glazed or tinned, and a
reduction of 35 per cent ad valorem
on dress and piece silks and all fabrics
of which silk is the component mate¬
rial of chief value.
Mr. Vance also asks to repeal the
tax on refined camphor for chloroform
Hofi'mans anodyne, and spirits of ni¬
tric either liops and opium other Uian
prepared for smoking. Besides tbese g
amendments there are at least a dozen
in relation to tobacco, snuff, cigars
aud cignrefs. Some of these will
doubtless be adopted—so many of
them, iu fact, that tho house will
scarcely recognize its offspring when
it is returned to them.—Consti/ution.
Sometimes it is not judicious to, be
too particular in locating local occur¬
rence, sotwe will merely, say the fol¬
lowing Conversation was heard in a cer
tain store iu Oil City:
A young lady was looking at some
hosiery, and asked the blushing clerk:
‘How do yon sell these?‘at the same
time holding up before him a long
pair of zebra-colored ones.
‘Those are worth 82 a pair, 1 he an-
wered.
‘Oil, my!‘ twittered the gidly erea
tnre,‘they come pretty high, don’t

youth, ‘th-/h-they‘re pre-pretty high,
