Tbe present Sofcth is making a deep
impression npon the Novthen mind.
Up to within the last few years the
North has been totally ignorant of
the wealth and vastness of our re
sources and had always regarded our
manners and customs as semi-barba
rious, \Vhy such a state ot tilings
existed, all know and it is now no
longer necessary to discuss. But why
■this change, and what has brought
about snch a large influx of Northern
•capital which has found and is still
aeeking investment, is a questiou that
may engage our minds. We And the
solution of its existence in the fact
that the recent expositons held in vari
ous sections of the South has wrought
this wonderful change. They have
Brought the people of the two sections
—North and South—together, gave
them correct ideas of each other and
have gristly eradicated all sectional
piejudices. The Piedmont Fair, now
open and in progress at Atlanta, will
give a new and strengthen impetus to
the influx of capital and immigration
into this section. The South is fast
approaching the point at which she
will be the richest, grandest section of
country on the globe.
The condemnation of Chicago An
archists has attracted inter national
interest. No question but that it is a
matter ot surprise to that element in
Europe. They must be tanght, here
and in Em ope too. that a land of lib
try. In England the sentence ot tbe
Chicago Anarshists is denounced by
a similar element, and it is proposed
to send a delagation to urge a new
ttial. These resolutions denouncing
the sentence and pronouncing execra
tions npon the courts, either here or
Europe, amount to nothing with the
truly Amercanized mind, but there is
disposition on the part of a
portion of the press to publish editori
als and sentimental fancies that natur
ally cieate a sympathy in hehalt of
the condemned men, a thing that gives
encouragement to the Anarehal ele
ment, which should be avoided.
Boston Corheif, the slayer of John
Wilkes Boolli,was declared hopelessly
insane the 4th inst,, and a guardian
was appointed to take charge of his
property. The stoiy ot his bloody
#leed, which so effectually blighted his
life, will always be an interesting one,
*s well as being a part of the great
Matronal tragedy. Boston Corbett
was an insignificant man at his best,
lot Ims name will always be linked
with those of L'ncoln and Booth. He
bast always believer] since that tragic
«le<vl that Southern sympathizers were
followiug him for the purpose of tak
ing his life, and to this day Le main
tains that the friends ot John Wilkes
jßooth are on his track.
One >f the Methodist churches in
Kashville was treated to a lively sen
•ation last Sunday. The pastor. Rev.
W. A. Candler, said to be one of the
most prominent Methodist ministers
in lire South, preached a sermon on
theater-going, and denounced the cus
fem ru the severest language and spoke
of actors and actresses in very un
complimentary terms. After the ser
mon Miss Abbot, ail actress, aiose
from hei seat, and, trembling with
emotion, censured and rebuked the
pastor in terms aud in a manner that
was incisive and telling in its effects
upon the audience.
Gov. Gray, of Indiana, is squarely
in the rase for Vice-Presidential nom
ination. lie was recently asked if he
would he .a candidate.. lie said: *‘l
♦carcolv know how to reply to that I
would make no fight for the nouiina*
4 ion; still Ido not know as I would
decline were it tendered me.”
Ae a matter of political interest to
women, we take the foilouiug from a
Washington letter : ‘‘Belva Loekwood f
the lute presidential candidate ot the
Woman Suffrage party, was up to the
White House Ihe other day. Belva is
what you call a fine looking woman,
and, it is said, makes a great deaf of
money out of her lar> practice here.
When asked whether she would run
against Cleveland, she replied with a
laugh, “To qttute several illustrious
examples, ‘I am out of politics’ just
now. The Woman Suffrage party will
be in the field, however, you can de
pend upon that, for we will never give
up the fight until the victory is won.
Now I think we might to nominate
the most popular woman in the coun
try in 1888 for President. I have been
looking over the list ot candidates,and
I have come to the conclusion that
.Mis. Cleveland is that woman. Nom
inate Mrs. Cleveland for Piesident,
and we will sweep the country. Bhe
is my candidate, and I shall not run
against her for nomination.” —Ex.
Atlanta will witness a denrnonstra
tion and be possessed of a spirit of en
thusiasm next Tuesday and Wednes
day that never occurred in the city
before. Piesident Cleveland and his
party will arrive in the city Monday,
and from the way Sam Randall was
received this week, the city will cer
tainly “bile over” next week. The
scenes will be in the widest contrast
with those of a quarter century ago
The very contemplation of the fact is
enough to awaken the wildest entluiti
asm in the bosom of every loyal South
ern patriot, After twenty-five years
of misrule, stealage, and oppression,
we witness the dawn of an era of un
precedented prosperity and a demon
stration that strengthens the party
upon which it is the heritage to pre
serve pnre and intact the sacred in
stitutions of American liberty.
Tne President in his Western and
Southern trip will reach Atlanta next
Monday. Ife travels in a special car
with a private party ot his own selec
tion, for whicti he pays as a private
citizen. It is his desire to make this
a visiting trip, to see country and
meet the people who have cordially
invited him to be their guest, and to
divest it. ot oil aoUiioaxi ximnScance.
It has been a long time since any
chief magistrate of the nation has
been able to do this in Northern and
l Southern States alike, and Mr. Cleve
land is being greeted in bo‘h sections
equally as the official representative of
the v,hole nation. All along the route,
at every point the President and his
party touches, he is teceived with the
greatest demonstration.
Some months ago justice Miller de
livered an address in which he took
as advanced State rights ground as
was ever claimed by the extremest
Democrats, North or South. He is a
Republican of Republicans, and Lis
utterances, so different from the views
of the majoritj of his party, attracted
great attention. He delivered the
centennial oration at Philadelphia
week befoie last, iu which will be
found these memorable words: “The
just and equal observance of the rights
of the States, as defined by the pres
ent constitution, is as necessary to the
permanent prosperity of our country,
and to its existence for another cen
tury, as it has been for one whose
close we are now celebrating,"
Few men have ex
perienced such extremes of fortune as
Duncan Ivarns. A few years ago. in
Pennsylvania, he was more than a
millionaire; but the other day in Col
oi&do. he was fonud carrying a hod
up a ladder on a uew building. He
was bright and hearty, and told hi#
friend he was much happier than in
the days when he was burdened with
wealth. Mr. Karim is evidently a
philosopher of » very rare kind.
Another result ot the reading of
dime novels occurred in a town near
Augusta, Maine, the other day. A
boy, addicted to that habit, and one
of the students, became so fully pos
sessed of the‘"tun of the thing," that
lie set tire to the school building aud
burnt it down, and gave as a reason
that he was not fed enough “grub. 5 ’

Two Tery small negro boys had a fight on
Sunday night near the edge of Ellaville, dur
ing which one of them got hold of so old nqus
ket and planted a bullet behind tbe ear of the
other. Tho ball penetrated to a depth of
three or four inches, but as that particular
spot is not considared vital one, where Sambo
is not concerned, it will hardly prove fatal in
this instance.
A country negro entered ono of the dry
goods stores at Aincricus Saturday morning
to purchase a trunk, and after considerable
parleying with tho salesman as to tbe price
asked, finally shouldered one and left, paying
?1.50 therefor. In about an hour he returned
with the trnnk, saying that ho ‘had got too
