We know nothing of Judge Fain’n
inclination to become a candidate ior
nomination for congress at the en
suing election; but be it as it may,
jnst such talk hy those who would
oppose his nomination as appeared
in the last issue of the Rockmart
Slate will surely secure him the nom
ination if he so aspires. We do not
speak or suggest any one for the nom
ination, but we have the strongest
possible aversion and contempt for
anything that tends to impeach the
honesty and integrity of anyone—any
one who, like Judge Fain, has always,
tinder all circumstances, shown him
self worthey of tne highest trust and
confidence. Candidly, we do not be*
lieve there is a Superior Court Judge
in the State who has more faithfully
dischargad his duties and with as
great an interest to the people as
Judge Fain. We do not publish the
Slate’s mention on Judge Fain's sup
posed candidacy, from no other fact
than that the reflection the editor
would have it throw upon the Judge
is absolutely foreign to bis well earned
and established character in every
lespect.
The President’s trip to Atlanta and
through the South generally, is the
absorbing iuterest of the day. Scarcely
any other public issue prsents itself.
Indinapolis was tom up the other
day by a statement of a negro that he
had seen the mayor intoxicated. Up
on investigation it was found that
there was something in the charge,
only it was the negro who was drunk.
It is about the way with those who
found so many opeu saloons und°r an
otksr name in Atlanta.
The news that Mr. Davis will go
to Athens and visit the Northeast fair
will be received with gratification by
his thousands of friends throughout
this section of the state. It need not
he doubted that Athens will give him
a hearty and royal welcome, and will
make his reception an illustrious and
auspicious event in that classic city.
Chief Justice Gordon of Pennsyl
vania, has decided that a saloon keep
er is bound to protect his customers
from iusult and injury while on bi 6
premises, and is liable in damages
should he fail to do so. This opens
up qni» an interesting field of litiga
tion, and will doubtless make the
Pennsylvania barkeeper more careful
to keep a quite orderly place.
Soon after the Brooklyn bridge was
huilt, a calculation was made which
teemed to show that it would not
much more than pay expences. It
Row promises to pay handsomely.
During the month of September the
receipts were $208,502,38 greater than
the current expenees. If every month
does as well, the bridge will earn a
handsome interest and investment.
Ex-Senator Jones of Florida, is said
to be dying of brain disease in Detroit.
His conduct since he deserted his seat
in the Senate has been so e centric as
to furnish good ground that be was
insane. He was a useful public man
for many years, and his career illni
strates the possibilities of hard work
and persistency in achieving success
in this country, even thongh it closes
sadly.
The inevitable concomitants of
whisky are ignorance, poverty, dirt,
crime, Free whisky means the in
crease of these conditions to such an
extent as to menace to preservation of
law and order and even the existence
of society itself. This is the plattorm
of the high tariff people. Sensible
people cannot hesitate to choose be
tween this platform and that which
would tax whisky and ease the burden
on articles of absolute eveiyday nec-J
tssity.—Fort Payne Journal.
TO VISIT MR. DAVIS.
PsomlnOnt Athenians En Route
for Beauvoir to Visit Jeffer
son Davis.
From Atlanta Constitution.]
lion. Henry H. Carlton, M. C. ;
Judge Cobb, Colonel VVilliam J.
Morton and Mr. Pleasant A. Stovall,
all of Athens, arrived in Atlanta yes
terday en route for Beauvoir, Miss,,
where they go to vist Hon. Jefferson
Davis.
Early in November the Northeast
Georgia Fair association will hold its
aunual fair in Athens. On the occa
sion large numbers of people from the
counties of northeast Georgia will
visit Athens to enjoy the pleasure and
see the sights. It is generhlly under
stood that Mr. Davis will attend the
State fair at Macon, and the Athens
delegaiion vist him at his home to
persuade him, it possible, to extend
his visit to that charming little city
the educational center of Georgia.
Athens was the home cf many of
Mr. Davis’s personal friends. No
men occupied a warmer place in the
heart of the confederate president than
Hon. Howell Cobb, Hon, Benjamine
II Hill, and General William M.
Browne. The committee bears with
it a letter from Mrs, Howell Cobb the
widow of Mr. Davis’s friend, in
which he is urged to visit Athens. A
cordial invitation from the city coun
cil, from the fair association, and
from many of the most prominent
Athenians supplement Mrs. Cobb’s
letter. The committee called at the
executive office yesterday and secured
flom Governor Gorden a letter to Mr
Davis in which he is urged to visit
Georgia—a cordial rnvitation and a
hearty reception awaiting him. It is
belived that Mr. Davis will attend the
Macon fair and that be will be per
suaded to extend his visit to Athens.
Carrying Things too Far.
The fears of the brave and the ful*
lies of the wise have long been held
as ligitimate subjects of satire. The
intemperance ot the temperate is not
so much a matter for ridcule as foi
grief. When a man is known to sym
pathize with bad people, and who is
believed to be governed by wrong mo
tives, it excites little surprise, and not
much regret. It is Hot apprehended
that his words will have much weight
or that they will do a great deal ol
harm. But when a man is known to
wish well fir his country and to his
race, aud whose benevolence is known
to be such that he would cheerfully
make large sacrifices for the public
weal, is betrayed by the warmth of
his teelings into making remarks too
sweeping to be whollj® true, the dam
age to the cause that he advocates
cannot fail to be great. Men endowed
with zeal in large measuje, yet lack
ing in discretion, are not kept from
the position of leadership easily. But
to accord "them this rank is apt to
bring the cause to disgrace and ruin,
The eloquence and personal magnet
ism with which they may be endow
ed will only make them the more dan
gerous if not conjoined with a conrnon
sense will tell how far to advance and
when to stand still. Almost every
scheme for human advancement lias
bad some 6tich unwisely zaalous
champions as we have described, and
the sober, patient friends of these
plans have generally found them as
much letarded by the too great haste
ot these rash advocates as by the ef
forts of opponents. Enthusiasm is
assuredly a desirable thing, but the
enthbsiast needs the check rein of pru
dence all the time to restrain from
positions which cannot be maintainnd
In moral questions certainly—it may
he in all otheis—going to far is as
had as not going far enough. Some
of the most unlovely vices which men
exhibit are but virtues carried to ex
cess. The miser but carries the max
ims of thrift to the last extreme; ty
ranny is often the outcome of an ear
nest desire for every one to do his du
ty, and to much of what is called the
missionary spirit has made men of
tender consciences hard-hearted per
secutors' He is wi66 who knows
where to stop. —Sunny South
It Pos^tan.
Alex. H. Stephens of Georgia, had
a negro named Henry, who was very
fond of ’possum hunting—a perfect
Nimrod in that line. Having as usual
gone out lor that purpose, it was not
long before the dogs struck a track
and soon treed. The hunter having
arrived at the tree, deliberately laid
down dis torch, and drawing his ax
from his shoulder, eager for the game
began laying on to fell it. He had
not given more than one or two cuts,
when to his consternation, he heard a
voice from above saying: “If you
won’t let the dogs bite me, I’ll come
down and help you cut the tree down.”
Thunderstruck and amazed, the hun
ter dropped his axe. and made donble
quick time for home. It turned out
in the sequel that another negro, a
runaway, hearing the dogs, took to a
tree, an f the ’possum was treed in
another about ten feet off; the runa
way seeing no other person but the
hunter come np, volunteered his ser
vices to help him. But Nimrod was
entiiely too obliging, or “thar was a
ghost some wnar about.”
It is nothing against the President
to say that he is as good looking as
his wife. Few people in this country

ORR WEALTHY MEN.
Much has b*en said in newspapers
of men who lirvc made large fortunes
in comparatively a few years in vari
ous business industries. Many of these
articles are written by corespondents of
prominent newspapers, and copied in
to others of lesser note. Correspond
ents generally are seldom men of bus
iness qualification and wrongfully pic
ture there men aud th-*it business as it
thing of accident: this is not the case
with those we have met. We find that
where men have made largo fortunes
by their own business talent and in
dustry, they choose with sagacity nnd
forethought such business as wonld
lead to success when handled with
business judgement. No man has been
brought before the public as an exam*
pie ot success, but in wealth and
magnitude of his business (outside ot
stock and railroad men) tnore prompt*
ly than Dr. G. G. Green, of Wood
bury, N. J. He fs at the head ot many
large business industries, and yet
comparatively a young man. When
the fact that August Flower, for dys
pepsia and liver complaint, and Bos
chee’s German Syrup, for coughs and
lung troubles, has grown to a wonder
ful sale in all parts of the world, it
proves that it was not an accident or
spontaneous strike of wealth. His
medicines are recognized as valuable
and established remedies, and the
business has grown gradually and
permanently dining the last eighteen
years on the account not alone of Dr.
Green’s abilities as a businessman or
his “’good hick,” but on the actual
merits of the two preparations. —
