September 9, 1887.
New York rolled up a Democratic
majority on Tuesday.
Prof. J C. Shecut, of Augusta, ha*
been elected superintendent of pub
lic schools at Newnan, Ga.
Gov. Gordon haa imposed a fine
of |2 ,500 on convict camps Nos. 1
and 2, for the mine treatmeat of
convicts.
Augusta is thoroughly aroused
over the proposed exposition next
year and subscriptions are pouring
in liberally.
The negro boy, Chas. H. Locksley,
who killed Milo Thomas, in Augusta,
last July has been sentenced to the
penitentiary for life.
Mr. G. W. Dixon, a guard at the I
Augusta and Chattanooga Kailroad
•camp, lost his arm by the accidental
discharge of his gun last Sunday
evening.
Kelly, the Grovetown burglar, who
'was sentenced to ter years in the
penitentiary at the last term of Co
lumbia Superior Court, made his es
•cape last week.
Think of it, a gentleman in Jeffer
son county one night last week had
shucked out 400 bushels of corn. This
Hooks like “living at home and board
ing at the same place.”
We venture the assertion that more
syrup has been made in these parts
during the last two months than for
several years past. Everybody con
siders the cane crop an important
Mem.
An effort is being made to have a
post office established in the neigh
borhood of Mr. Randall Reeves, near
Brier creek. This is a step in the
right direction and wo hope the I
movement will be snccesful.
Macon Telegraph: A fat turkey is
not the only thing needed on Thanks- ’
giving day, as many people imagine, |
but a thankful heart also. Still it
must be admitted that a fat turkey
helps one powerfully to bo thankful.
Henry Grady s recent address on
prohibition, delivered in Atlanta last
week, certainly surpasses anything
that wo have ever read from him
All honor to the man like Grady, who
knowing the right dare assert his
convictions.
Atlanta Capitol: A Texas genius
has started a paper which he calls the
‘•Daily Dinner Horn.” Now, if that
editor expects to earn his bread bv
blowing, instead of the perspiration
of his own sweat, he may be disap
pointed and may become a victim of
the fate described by a certain verv
popular expression—in other words,
get his dinner—“in a horn."
Middle Georgia Progress: When
Ex-President Davis, standing on the
veranda of the Johnston mansion in
Macon in the presence of the assem
bled thousands of battle seared veter
ans, tenderly kissed the shot riven
banner of the Lost Cause, amid the
weeping of his people, the scene fur
nished an i stance of mingled pathos
and sublimity unsurpassed in all his
tory.
Wo had rather have witnessed that
scene than to have beheld the inaugu
ration of Cleveland, or the coronation
of thy proudest monarch on earth.
THE INDEX AND DE- lUCZE2-
It is with profound regret we
notice the retirement of Dr. H. 11.
j Tucker as editor in chief of the Chris
tian Index. Several years ago, for
some cause, he retired from the same
position and the paper lost ground
■ and never regained it until his name
] again appeared as editor. In this
! respect history may be expected to
j repeat itself. Dr. Tucker wields that
1 influence in the editorial manage
< : ment of the Index,as a denornination
f al paper, that no other man in the
State has ever yet done, and the cir
cumstances which caused his with
drawal are universally regretted.
In connection with the foregoing,
it has leaked out, that Dr. Tucker was
ask. d to retire from his position on
I the Index on account of his criticism
on the general desecration of the
Sabbath in the opening of the prohi
bition campaign in Atlanta. While it
' is generally known that Dr. Tucker is
a prohibitionist, on all subjects he has
the manhood to assert his convictions
of right or wrong. In our judgment
■ the Index has erred greatly in the
: course pursued. Dr. Tuck r not onlv I
has admirers in this section but all j
I over this and other States, and they '
■ will be loath to rest satisfied with the '
I meagre explanations made relative to I
• his dismissal.
A REVIVAL CF ANTE-BELLUM
DATS-
People living in the neighborhood !
■of Brier creek on the McDuffie and '
1 Jefferson sides have been reviving )
I the scenes of ante bell urn days this |
fall by regular old fashion corn shuck
iugs, which are generally closed with
a feast of fat things. In this connec
tion it is proper to say that an abund- |
mice of corn has been made this year j
I and with it pork is being put in good '
I order for Christmas times. Together
, with all this, the,people in the above
named sections are the most opened
hearted hospitable people in the State?
. THE FARMER'S BOOM-
At last, and it is a source of grati
fication to see it, the farmers of this
county are waking up upon the sub
ject of agriculture, in that they see
the necessity of co-operation, as evi
denced by the organization of clubs
in different sections of the county. —
Nothing is of more importance than
a regular movement all along the line
in this direction. The masses can
bear the failure of everything else
better than the failure of tillers of the
soil. Already the ball is in motion.
Let the good work go on until our
farmers are thoroughly organized and
united Then we expect to see, as a
result, the dawn of prosperity in such
a degree as has not been witnessed
since the war.
SATISFIED.
We notice that several counties in
the State who by a majority vote two
years ago decided against the sale of I
j whisky are now in a fairway for I
| opening the campaign again. Not
so, however, in this county. So far
as our knowledge reaches, and we
Happen to be in very good position
Ito know,no attempthas been or will be
made to reinstate the tratic. Prohibi
tion has proven a success in this coun
ty, and gives very general satisfaction.
A prominent prohibitionist remarked
to us, not long since, that he did not
believe a single attempt had been
made to evade the law in the way of
the “blind tiger" business, as it is
called, but that all had in good faith
accepted the situation. As to the good
i it has done, we havn’t the shadow of
a doubt that there are some in the
county who are in far better condi
tion than they were the day prohibi
tion went into effect. In dur judg
ment, it is not only here, but here to
stay.
