EDITORIAL NOTES.
Oov. Gordon has gone to Philadel
phia.
Cliffy will soon rejoice over his bale
of cotton.
Twenty-five thousand coal men are
on a strike in Pennsylvania.
Gov. Gordon has signed Dr. Fel
ton’s wine room bill, which levies a
tax of |IO,OOO on wino rooms.
Meat has gone beyond the point of
pound for pound with cotton and the
prospects are favorable to a still
farther advance.
A negro man attired in female
■dress was arrested on the narrow
igaugc railroad a few days ago, and
'lodged in jail in Augusta.
Fifteen loaded freight cars on the
A.•'& K. Railroad tumbled in the Au
guflta canal on Tuesday morning,
causing a loss of about $20,000.
Rev. Donald Fraser, a prominent
Presbyterian minister of Decatur,
who had been on a trip to Florida,
died on the train en route for home
a few'days since.
Please get your battercakes ready.
Tho new molasses crop is coming into
market.—Constitution.
Treacherous memory cheated us
■out of a jug of sweetening last week.
Thos. Woolfolk, who stands charg
ed with the wholesale murder com
mitted in Bibb county a short while
since, will be tried in Macon the first
week in November.
Os course the organs of whisky
rings will unanimously extol “Anx
ious Inquirer” and condemn tho man
who dares assert his convictions and
repels assaults upon his chancier
Every man has a right to defend him
self, no less his mime than his person.
The floods on the Southern Pacific
Railroad have been very destructive
recently. While we don’t care to
have another flood, we would like to
have another rain in these parts just
now.
Os course, if one arrays you in a
false light before tho public, you
inustjako it all. This applies, as a
matter of course, to ministers of the
gospel. But some how or other all
preachers are not disposed to look at
it in this light, hence tho fur is some
times made to fly.
W, C. Bennet (“Anxious Inquirer")
while in Atlanta on Tuesday met with
a cordial reception from a number of
citizens. We are not at all surprised
at this. Os course, whisky dealers feel
friendly to those who espouse their
cause, either directly or indirectly.—
Nevertheless prohibition, where it
exists has “come to stay" nnd each
miccwdiug year will witness it gain
ing new victories.
The Augusta Gazette makes the
following prediction :
It will not be many years before a
movement to disfranchise the ne
groes will be begun at the North.—
The Republicans already bitteilv ad
mit that their enfranchisement was a
political mistake, and it enrages them
to think that no possible remedy is
left them. The Gazette congratulates
them ou the cause of their rage and
rejoices over its volume and inipo-1
