Judge Simmon* baa retired from the Gubernatorial race May ha* borrowed severs! days from March this year Judge Lynch occasionally comet to the front and doe* quick work. Destructive storms occurred in Missouri and K*u»a* last week. Gun John B Gordon has an nounced biinaclf a* a candidate for Governor. Political matter* will wax warm for Home time to come in the Empire State of the South. Preston Valentine, charged with the murder of Mr. Vales, in Augusta, has been tried ami convicted The Supreme Court of Appeal* of Virginia has affirmed the decision of the lower court, convicting Cluvorius rtf the murder of Mi** Lillian Madi son. It seems evident now that he will hang. Mr. W. I>. Sullivan, editor of the Waynesboro True Citizen, died la*t ■week. He was st one time a citizen of this county. In hi* death the country pres* loses one of it* most foarles* wi iters. The suggestion from the pen of Mr Geo. M. Lazcnby, published in our last issue, certainly ha* the right ring upon an important subject. It seems that the matter referred to by him can bo easily and satisfactorily settled in the way Hiiggestod. Judge Simmons Re tires. . The ('•rrcxpondeiirc Lratlius Io His Retiremint. Below will be found the cone* pondonco between Judge Simmon* and the Macon liar: Judge T. J. Simmon* Dear Sir: Judging from the capacity, and faith fulncH* with which you have discharg ed the most important public trust in the past, your elevation to the highest office in the gift of the common wealth would redown equally to the credit of the State and the Ismor of your friends But from the universally admitted honesty of purpose, fairnesH, impartiality and ability with which, for the past seven years, you have discharged the onerous and responsi ble duties of Judge, the people and Imr of the Macon circuit will regard a* a public calamity any course tlmt constrains your retirement from the bench Besides, to lay off the judicial ermine to seek political preferment .it this lime will embarrass a host of your ]>ersoiial friends, espcciallv < f the Macon bar. to whom you have endeared yourself, not less by your kindly courtesy than by the unsur passed fairness and ability which ha* characterized the discharge of your duties. For these reason, wo. the undersigned member* of the Macon bar. earnestly request you to sacrifice, for the time, your worthy and lauda ble ambition to seek the office of Governor, ai.d to retain your present important position. This w»a signe 1 by fifty-nine names, comprising the Macon bar. to which Judge Simmons replied: Messrs Nisbett. Bartlett and others. Gentlemen—Your letter of the 7th instant, requesting me not to seek the nomination tor Governor at the approaching convention, ha* just been handed we For reasons entirely to myself, and in which the public are not interested, 1 had already determined upon that course I beg tv assure you. and the members of the bar through you. that I am deeply grateful for the oomplimentary manner in which you refer to my eervioes as judge of this circuit, and with assurance of the kindly relations that have always existed between us, I hope 1 may continue to merit vour confidence and esteem To my inanv friends iu different parts of the State who have pledged me their support, in ike event ftf my er. ud lacy, I return rny sincere thanks. Very respectfully, T. J. Simmon* ” Hi* physician, since his illness, h s* urged that Judge Simmons should not make the race for the sake of his health This is one of hi* strongest reasons for retiring. «r<- i.nzn .fWcted with n disease <•.,)!< <1 th. in.ng. the same diw.iw in humun I...hig« i. <1 tu< itch »nd i" hishh eonU sions, V. mire it, mix flour nf Sulphur with Dr. .1 II Volexnie Oil Diriment, b.the >i tbomngbiy. and take Dr. J.

[rm.M ora umni comtau-oNOENT. ] Valentine will hang! He was con victed on the 6th, and has not yet been sentenced He laughed and chatted after the jury brought in their verdict. The whole thing cams out n* t<> how he had struck Mr Vale* on the head with an ax and then deliberately poured kerosine oil over his clothes and set them on fire. The law will be vindicated by the hadgingof Valentine for the most, di abolical murder ever committed with in the border* of this county. The Court House was packed during the trial and hundreds could not gain ud mtssion. KSIGHTS OF LAItOR. The Knights keep sawing away.— They have started up their little rack et again. Their Master Workman came out in n card in the Chronicle, saying they would strike if the mill I'residents did not accede to their demands. The Knights realize that I they have made a failure in their lit ' tic game of scare, and are trying to wriggle out without giving themselves away. The idea of a minister of the gospel threatening to lead men on to a strike, etc., is so foolish that sensible pel ous will not deign to recognize such a party. There will be no strike. KAII.HOAIIH.
