J Hodgee, a fanner, living near Atlanta, committed suicide lust Sunday morning We aee no rr-aaon why Augusta may not offer sufficient inducement to secure the location of the Techno logical School within its borders. The public arc still furnished with no occasional dish of the “Armstrong case" rehaahed Ere long there will be a cry for rest up >n the subject. The Moron Telegraph conns. 1- young men that “the straw hat is not in order until the old nmn has greased the gates for the summer swinging. Our talented friend, Eb. T Wil liams, Esq., has been appointed by Judge Honey to defend Preston Vai online, charged with the murder of Mr. Vales. A young darkey, dwelling in the Sylvan City, wan interrogated a few days ago aa to bow ho made a living, to which lie replied that he wan “liv ing on hia monte" I The Knights of Labor aie still pre seating a bold front in many section* of the country, and Augusta has premise of some of its practical work 1 ings on or about the first of May, so far iu the cotton mills are concerned Bill Arp has reached the point in life where he claims to be able to know | n book agent a mile off. There is great advantage in such knowledge The philosophic “Bill" will always have sufficient time to got out of the way of the lsw>k vender. 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 . Southland has never been put out ' between bases. I —— ' Talbotton Era: Wo know a little woman in Talbot county who is the mother of eight children, and besides doing all her domestic work save the washing, she is educating her chil dren at home, each one of the older ones la'ing now very well versed in the rudiments of an English educa tion, received entirely nt home ' They do not live convenient to a School, and the gesrd mother has gotten over the difficulty. She is one of the brightest and most intelligent ladies iu Talbot county, and no Louse bold in nil this land contains a greater treasure than she 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. Oui- Letter.

COBtIEaPOMUKNT.] 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. Chatham Artillery. Centennial AT . SAVANNAH, GA. May 3rd to Mav Bth, 1886, Inclusive ROL.ID TRIP TH RETS.
