great advantage in such knowledge
The philosophic “Bill" will always
have sufficient time to got out of the

The impression seems to prevail ,
that as Columbia county is entitled to
Senator in this district, that whoevi i
thiacounty names, other counties in
the district will, through courtesy and
by precedent, acquiesce in. If there
is any doubt about the matter we
would like for some of our renders to
give us light upon the subject.
Macon Telegraph: The <ste<<nied
Philadelphia Press, who claims to
preach “tho gosjail of political salva
tion," wants to ship the South a car
load of Republican progress and
prosperity, fresh from the factory, nil
nicely packed, name blown in the
| bottle, etc., et<*., "Now," adds the
i Press, "is the time to got clubs."
Our coiitem|s>rary is altogether
premature. We will get up the clubs
when the consignment arrives. In
such mutter the sweet scented Sunny

Obey the Law.
It in with unfeigned regret we learn
b that in some sections of this count'
|| the oj>eration of the stock law is a
ij Mouroeof continual grievance, and oc-
It casionallv the evidence of bad blood
and bitter feeling among neighbors
I comes to the surface.
Such a state of affairs should not
P exist. People should under all cir
cuuistances be law abiding If the
law in point is oppressive, its enforce
inent will only demonstrate the fact
•oouer, and give stronger reason for
its repeal
The fact is, uo law abiding citizen
I should for one moment think of any
thing but rendering to the la v that
•bedieuce which it demands while in
farce. He who s> fur forge’s the
claims of good government the safo
| guard to our liberty, religiously, so
cially and in every other way a* to
set htu.se!f in array -vgaiusl the man-
dates of the Inw and endeavors to
throttle the action of those who are
disposed to obey, will sooner or later
learn, perhaps to his sorrow, the folly
of such a course.
While ns a journal the columns of
tins paper have ever been open to the
dist ti” ion of the stock law question,
which still seems to be the “bone of
contention’ among some of our citi
zens, piefering to occupy a neutral
position ourselves ; yet at this junc
ture we feel it an imperative duty to i
COUIIM 1 loyalty to the powers that be
in a quiet, peaceable way.
No man or party of men have the
shadow of a right to stand up in the
face of law ami defy its enforcement, ,
or to attempt to coerce or intimidate
those who are disposed to be loyal.

We are about to have a general
strike in Augusta, I fear. The ,
Knights of Labor have sent a circular i
letter to all of the Mill Presidents
asking that they be given holiday on
the first of May to discuss differences
and settle questions of pay, hours of
labor, successors to discharged em
ploy us <t<- I would give the letter
in lull were in not for its great length,
and besides the above is the subject
matter.
The Knights here, are 4,000 strong
and have $20,000 m their treasury.
Mr M< ymirdey, a Baptist minister, is :
the Master Workman. It is hoped
that tlu re will not be a strike; that |
everything will bo settled satisfac- .
torily to nil parties concerned. A
strike maybe successful, but suffering
and want will follow such a move
ment.
The Mill Presidents have sent by
way of answer to the Executive
Board of the K. of L. a printed letter i
to each one of its employees, in which '
they say:
“We decline most positively, to i
recognize any outside interference
between ourselves and our employees.
We are always prepared to confer '
with you ns employees, but in no
other- capacity, upon all subjects of
common interest.
\\ (! recognize that (ho rate of wages
is a fair subject of agreement be
twe< n employer and employee, and
that the right to quit working for
another, belongs absolutely to every
person who is not n convict or u slave
and t he right toex. ploy or not to employ
another is absolute ami iiiconteatible.
I bene l ights can only be limited by
tli<> parties themselves. We shall
therefore, be glad to receive ami .
fairly consider any communication
from our employees as such, but we
will not allow any outside parties to
manage our affairs.”
Then the letter goes on to state
that the factories ills not milking
much money, and are not declaring
dividends, etc.
The Knights met and decided that
the Mill President should confer with
them only through their Executive
Board, and toiwarded a copy to each
one of the Presidents, who are trying,
it appears, to ignore the Board en
tirely.
In an interview bad bv the Even- i
ing News, Mr. Mevnardey, the Mas
ter .Workman, denied that the
Knijlits intended to order n strike,
but stated, that if the Factories did
not comply with their demands they
might strike.
I’he V AC. R R. is making good
headway and soon the work will be
started, mid Augusta will have
another lai ;< enterprise added to her
alreaday long list. A mass meeting
will be held in the interest of the
road, on Mar 12th nt Augusta.
I'he Physicians Convention of the
State was held here on the 21st, 22nd
and 23rd. The Committee on En
tertainment was composed of several
of our most prominent Physicians.
The M Ds w ere tendered a reception
by the Fa President of the’ Society,
Dr. Henry F Campbell.
A banquet was also tendered them
Thursday evening. Several tine
papers were read. The nextmeeting
ot the Convention will be held in
Atlanta May "th. ISS7.
I’he Supreme Cour* atTtirmed the
judgment of our Superior Court
convicting Geo. T. Jackson, the
former President of the Enterprise
Mfg. Company.for embezzling the sum
of $117.000.
Foi many years Mr. Jackson was
one of the most prominent men in
the State and was connected with
Augusta's largest enterprises. These
embezzlements extended over a
|»eriod of nearly four years. Hai
conviction was a triumph and a
vindication of the law, and shows the
determination of Richmond county
jurors to do their duty regardless of
|>er>»ou or consequences. The fore
man of the jury was a warm personal
frieud of the family, but he believed
with the other jurors, that under the
law ami the evidence he should con
vict him. The same law which re
quired hia conviction authorized the
defendant to give bond pending a
review of bis case by the Supreme
Court. The foreman promptly
signed ae one of his bondsmen. This
was a remarkable coincidence and
shows that a juror can do his duty to
bis State, ami lend his aid to the same
party, whose conviction, he as fore
man of the jury, had just signed.
Mr. Jackson was arrested and
carried to Old-Town camp in Jeffer
son county. He was accompanied
as far as the penitentiary by his son,
Walter. His parting with his family
was very affecting.
A new gas company lias been or
ganized here, and the old company
fought the granting of the charter.—
The petition of the new company is
signed by some of the best citizens of
Augusta. The old company lost their
case in the Superior Court and have
now carried it to the Supreme Court.
The new company is confident that
judgment will be affirmed. I learn
they Lave bought the tract of ami
known as the “Marks' Tract” (which
is on the line of the (ieorgin Kailroad)
on which to erect their works. There
will be war between the two com
panies, and as a consequence we will
nave better ami cheaper gas.
The selection of Hon. J. C. C.
Black to deliver the address at the
unveiling of the Hill statue in Atlan
ta, on May Ist seems to have given
general satisfaction throughout the
State. He w ill do honor to the great
statesman and himself. Sr.xrx.
