Struction to crops has resulted.
It is said that over a hundred
square miles of county is covered
with them, destroying corn, grass
and other erops. It is reported that
thougands of families, dependent
upon small crops will have to be

- Ben Rutler’s record 15 by no
means favorable one. It is said
that the only damage he did to the
confederates during the iwar was
stealing their cotton and selling it,
and wrongfully executing two pris
oners, Since the war, fvhi]e,in con
gres, he has voted in favor of land
grabbers and monopoliste. He has
been regarded in congiess asin the

disguising plea that he is the la
boring man’s friend.
A new paper to be publishéd in
the.interest of the:Blaine campaign
started in New York this week,
This in connection with the cor
ruption fund and all other frauds
they may practice, without a re
nnion of the party and & more firm
organization, will not secure his
election. The republican party is
too corrupt to stand. The labor
ing clasg of these United States
can no longer claim protection un
der its foul and corrupt adminis
tion. They demand protection,
and must have it. Under its ad
ministration it has protected tliose
who need no protection—the capi
talist und the millionaire; it has
oppressesed those who need no op
pregsion—the laboring class being
its vietims. E |
* Some of the best imen in-the re
publican party have deserted its
ranke dnd have sought refuge in
the prohibition party, while others
will flock to the embrace of Ben
Butler, the so-called friend of the
Jaboring man . Some,%” how
ever, will support the nominee of
of the radical party: and stand; by
it, despite its record of . shame and
corruption of ‘a quarter-of a cent

‘ itis sad that Cleveland is a fine

aeck that rise up like a colunin of
granite and a face ot rugged pow
er. It is not a serene face, not one
full of unrcasoning, conscienceless
ambition, such as Napoleon had,
but one of dauntless courage and
unflagging perseverance,; tem
’pered with benignity and the soflter
‘traits of humanity.
John A, Logan originated and
introduced in the Illinois Legisla
ture of 1853 the law making ita
misdemeanor for any ‘‘negro or
mulatto, bond or free,” to enter
the state and remain ten days,with
the intention of permianently resi
ding there ; and providing that the
negro or mulatto convicted of that
heinious crime might be sold at
auction to the highest bidder.
1t requires something more than
a can.paign of slander to defeat a
strong presidential candidate. Gen
aral Jackson suffered more in this
respect than any of our great men,
Among other things he was accus
ed of murder, seduction and adul-1
tery. Circulars with coffins printed
at the top were sgnt broadcast
through the -country charging
Jackson with murder of three eiti
zens. This was proven to be an
absolute falsehood. The stories a
bout Mrs. Jackson were cruel and
baseless, but they had the effect of
killing the unfortunate Jady, who
died between her husbandg election
and inauguration. A campaign
lie is very much like aboomerang.
Constitution
Scarcely any of the pictures of the
Democratic standard bearer do him jus
tice. The most of them #re atrociously
bad, Few of them, and none that we
have seen for sale in this city convey a
just conception of the firmness and ener
gy of his character, which is so clearly
delineated in his features. They fail to
show that kindly twinkle of the eye, or,
as a gentleren who called upon him re
cently pute it, ‘that make-yourself-at
honte expression’ which his visitor does
not fail to observe. His pictures give him
the appearance of a man fond of ease.
His appearance indicates a man devoted
to laborious and pains-taking work. He
is evidently dignified in appearance and
deimeanor, and at the same time emi
nently simple and cordial in manner
IHis utterances show hini to be a man
who possessey a great and wellbalanced
mind. His acts stamp hith as inan of
dauntless cburage arid iron will. He isa
good, a grogt, and a growing man. —Bog

Bachelor Presdents, l
| It is a remarkable fact that no party
but the Democrats have evar elected a
‘bachelor president. The. laßt president
‘the Democrats have elected, who served
out his term, was a bachelor, Jas. Buec
haunan. The last president %the Democrats
elected, who did not serve out his term,
was a bachelor, Samuel J. Tilden. The
preseént npminee of thg Democrats, and
who will be elected and serve his {erm,
is a bachelor, for *‘the stars have gaid”’
no bachelor ean be beaten who is-a can

has ever been a candidate for president
has ever been defeated.~Atlanta Jour

Hon, Allen G. Thuirman at the
Columbug, Qhio, ratification meet
ing said he had never geen and did
uot personally know Cleveland,but
from what he heard he was able,
thoroughly honest, a strong and
vigorous man of sterling sense, a
Democrat dyed in the wool: .He
had resorted to no dishonorable
means whatever ‘to sccure his

" Mgz, Eprror: What would vou
doif you dident have any news,
ana had to tell some anyhow?
‘Well, that’s my fix now, and when
your readers get through reading
{this article, they will be disappoin
ted and will exclaim: “Confound
)him; why dident he give us some
murders or something of the
kind?” I can’t help it, gentlemen,
I have no tongue for lying; (the
reason is that my profession won't
allow it.) (?) A man got a letter
here some time ago from his son
out west, who had been lately ad
mitted, in which he stated that he
was “doing a thriving business.”
The old man had it published in
the Times, and by a misprint it
read “thieving business.” Col. Beall !
proposed to correct it in the next
issue, but the old gentleman said
that it was about as nighright
as he could get it. I'm glad people
generally have a better opinion of
lawyers than that.
Pleasant weather. Refreshing
showers. Fine time for gowing
turaip seed. Good corn crops.
Corn, it is thought, willl not be
worth more than 50 or 60 cents per
bushel. Watermelons plentiful
and cheap. Politics , pretty warm;
candidates plentiful. “Many will
he called, and but few. chosen.”
Otho Beall of the Times office is
quite an artist. He can sketch and
draw anything, or anybody,so as
1t will be recognized at a distance.
He made one for the writer, which
looks more like & monkey 16 me
than anything else..

Mrs. G. W. Merrell has gone to
Villa Rica, visiting relatives and
friends, (which being interpreted,
means to get something good to
eat.)
My wife is gone; I’m left alone
I don’t know what to do:
I think T’ll go, and challenge Joe,
To join me in a ‘‘stew’’
1f I get tight, ’twill be all right,
For she will never know it ; '
"Twould make so small a change in Joe,
He wouldn’t even show it.
Perhaps you'ul think, I took my drink,
Before I wrote thiy letter. o
Well, never mind, I hope you’ll find
My next wili be some better.
