PROPRIETORS,
A Great Day for OeomiA.
On yesterday Governor McDaniel
It,id on Irand bids to the amount of
seventeen million dollar's issue of
throe and a half million of five per
cent, bonds.
Tito bids averaged IOC. The high*
ost bid made by Fred Wolfe went up
above 108, which makes the bonds
44 per cent. The bid of Moses Tay
lor & Co., of Now York, makes the
bonds about 4 § per cent. These
same bonds in 1866 bore 7 per cent.
interest and were then sold at such
discount as curried the rate up to 9
per cent. The issue is now floated
at 4£ per cent, which requires the
interest accouut just onc-lialf.
This remarkable sale is made in
the face of the most outrageous
blackmailing operations in New
York. Certain holders of tho ropu
dinted bonds of Georgia in that city
selected certain of the illogal gold
bearing bonds and advertised them
for sale at 65 cents. The clear in
tent of this was to produce the im
pression that this was the
rulmg price of Georgia
bonds, and to discourage bidding on
the new issue. Pamphlets attacking
the crodit of tho states wero mailed
to all the banks and to loading flnan
etors and nothing was left undone
to make the new loan n failure.
How miserably these attempts failed
is shown by tho bids in the liunds of
tho governor.
llero are sevontoon million dollars
that come a thousand milos seeking
an investment of less than flve per
cent. This does not look liko there
was a scarcity of*money, On the
contrary it indicates that there is
an onormous amount 0/ idle capital
anxious for a safe investment even
at low figures. As for Georgia’s
credit, it inakos a record that is
simply unoqualed. Mo state in the
union has over niudu an issue of so
largo an amount of 4| per cents
Indeed, with the exception of throe
southern states that have issued
compromise bonds, we do not think
any state is floating at 4£ per cent
baud. The credit ef the old empire
slate is foundod on a rock, and noth
iug can shake it. This loan is an
honor to the splondid administration
of Governor MoDaniol, and to the
skillful management of Treasurer
Hardeman, of which we can spen
wore fully when tho details have
been adjusted and the mattor defi
nitely closed.—Atlanta Constitu

Electric Girls in Georgia
A correspondent, who dates his
letter at Greenville S. C., writes
follows to the Constitution: -
I want some information about
the electrical girls in Georgia that
iR, I want to know if all Georgia
gills are that way, and aro tlioy bor
with it in them, or doos it come on
them like a disease or something?
I am mighty anxious to kuow how
that is. for there is a girl down in
Banks oounty that l just dote on
but I don’t want her if she is that
way, or likely to become so. The
fellows round here sav that all Goor
gia women are that way, or likely
get that way any minute.
Tho Constitution takes pleasure
informing itsestoemod correspondent
that, with fow exceptions, all Geor
gia girls are of the eleotrioity varic
ty—eomo inoro so, some less so, but
all, to a greater or less degree, blessed
with the sweet gift of using men as
they please, and breaking hearts at
will. It has been their way for hun
dreds of years, and each generation
appears to bo blessed with a largor
development of the faculty. As a
matter of fact, tho genuine Georgia
girl is the wonder of the ago, the
fairest of tho fair, the delight of all
beholders, and she oan no more help
being electric—she oan no more
destroy her own influence over man
than she can help being sweet and
beautiful.
We adviteour esteemed correspon
dent to lose no time in securing the
Banks county girl who has won his
affections. In a general way, we
believe it is the duty of Georgian
girls to bless the home of Georgians;
but, if nevertheless everything is
agreeable all around, wo should be
glad to see the Banks county girl
rake this South Carolinian and make
a man of him. Meantime, we beg
to assure him that all girls who live
in Georgia are blessed with tho gift
of electrifying the hearts of man
kind. - Atlanta ('ovutitut 10/1
Phrases of Dishonesty.
It may be that people are not less
honest now than they wore a genera
tion ago, hut it does seem as if dis
honest practices were on the in
crease. In almost all kinds of busi
ness indications of a purpose to do-
ccive are apparent.
On Monday, in New York city,
eighc houses which were in the
course of construction, fell and
jeopardized tho lives of a large num
ber of workmen. A little investiga
tion showed that they were built of
rotten bricks and without genuine
mortar. The bricks were the refuse
of the brick yards, and the material
used for mortar was the loam that
wus taken out of the excavations for
the cellar of the buildings. The
contractor knew, and all those em
ployed bv him knew, that the build
ings were liable to full at any tune.
The inspector who had sworn to do
his duty and who was paid a good
salary to sec that the building luw
was complied with, shut his eyes
while inspecting the work of the dis
honest contractor. If tho buildings
had not fallen when they did they
would have fallen nrobably within a
short time, and when, perhaps, they
were occupied by a large number of
people. ,<
The New York Press expresses
great indignation at the dishonesty
the contractor and inspector.
That is very natural, of course, but
there isn’t an editor in Now York,
perhaps, that hasn’t known for years
of the dishonest prutices of builders.
In one Now York paper the state
ment is made that within a very
short time at least 1,500 dangerously
cheap tenement houses have been
erected in that city. The practice
has met with no protest, or, at
loast, with no such protest, as to ar
rest public attention.
But it is not alone in buildings
that dishonesty is showing itself. It
is almost impossible to get food of
any kind that is free from adultera
tion. It is safe to say that whatever
oan bo adulterated without great
risk of detection is adulterated.
Laws are being passed all the lime
to protect the public against food
pvoducts that contain sh w poisons
of one kind and another. Doubtless
many of the numerous diseases with
which people suffer aro caused by
adulterated food.
Of course, conspicuous examples
of dishonesty are not diflicult to find
in about every kind of business, and
many who uro tho quickest to con
demn dishonesty in others are per
haps thorn selves guilty of practices
in their business affairs that they
would not like to have published.
Dishouosty is practiced in so many
ways that it is almost impossible to
check it by legislation. Tho only
hope of preventing it is in a
healthier public opinion. Laws can
not bo enforced tliut aro. not sup
ported by public sentiment. In tho
war against dishonesty—the kind of
dishonesty of which people who
claim to bo respectable are guilty—
more responsibility is to be placed
on thepross, the preacher, ami the
school-teacher than the legislator.—

Senator Colquitt.
The other day ,wo prinlod an edi
torial about ex-Senator Colquitt, of
Georgia. The article was received
with favor here in the south, where
Mr. Colquitt was well known and
highly respected.
Since then we have been informed
that Senator Colquitt was formerly
a Methodist minister and, as a
Georgia member said, “a good
or.e.” His father, Governor Col
quitt, was, as a story-teller, to'the
south what Abraham Lincoln was
to the north and the whole coun
try. "Every once in a while,’
says Senator Colquitt, "I meet
some old man who tells/ mo a sto
ry that my father told him forty
or fifty years ago.” -
Now mark the prediction of the
Item. This Colquitt will be the
next president or vice-president of
the nation. He is great in all that
makes a man useful and eminent.—

Business Men as Readers.
[From the N, O. Times-Democrat.]
I asked the most cultivated man
in the club tho other day whether
he know any reading men—men who
kept well up with all the current
literature of the day, and he remark
ed that ho knew very few. Most of
the business men are too much im
mersed in trade to spare the time,
even if they had the inclination,
which, as a general thing, they
havn’t. The professional men are
all engrossed with cares and cases,
and I notice very little reading going
on in any of the clubs beyond news
papers and magazines. Occasionally

ANOTHER RESCUE EROM DEATH.
In 1881t while sewing on a machine, my
wife was taken with a severe pain in her
side, which was soon followed hy hem-
morrhages from her lungs, severe cough,
fever and she could neither eat or sleep,
and in a few weeks she was reduced to a
livingSkeleton. Her stomach refused to
retain any food and the physician thought
one of her lungs was entirely gone. At a
final consultation of two physicians her
fuse was pronounced .Hopeless. I tried
Brewer's Lung Restorer by advice of one
to the physicians acd she 'began to im
prove after the third dose. She continued
the medicine and is now in excellent
healt F and is better than she has been
several years. I believed Brewer's Lung
Restorer sated her life
100 tons on tbe way and expected to
arrive every day.

In Augusta, 1881, it was discovered that
my son’s wife was in the .last stages of
consumption. She was coughing inces
santly and at times would discharge quan
tities of pus fron her lungs, could not
sleep or retain anything on her stomach,
and we thought it only a queston of time
when life would Ite compelled to give way
to the fell destroyer. After all other reme
dies had failed, we got Brewer’s Lung
Restorer end began It in very small doses,
as she was very weak. 81ie soon began
to improve; continued the remedy and was
restored to life and health and is to-day
better than she bus ever been before. J
regard her restoration as nearly a miracle,
for which she is indebted to Brewe’rs Lung
Restorer. ■

A Now Departure.
On Sunday afternoon last Rev.
E. J. Burch preached a special ser
mon tb the men at Luthrop's Hull.
He announced in the morning ser
vice at the church that he desired
to preach to the men alone that af
ternoon, and requested a large at
tendance. On his way home from
the hull he met a couple of sinners,
one of them with his bait gourd full
of eel worm? that ho had been
scratching out of a ditch preparatory
to taking an early start to Fouu
Iain’s milt on Mouday morning.
"What!” exclaimed the preaoher,
,*to-day!” "No,” icplied one of the
men; "not to-day, but to-morrow.’’
The sermon at the hall made a
good impression upon several ot
those who were present. Oue of
them, speaking to us of the sermou,
said; "He warned us all against
evil habits, begged that we turn our
thoughts beaveuward, contemplate
the beauties and pleasures of the
eternal world, and he said that it
wus never too late to reform and to
obtain forgiveness.”—Hawkinsvilie

were procu ed and with scarcely a vestige
of hope we commenced giving it to her
in small doses, gradually increasing the
quantity unntil the prescribed dose wus
reached. She began to improve after a
few doses and continued to do so daily
until she was finally restored to life ant
health, and is to-day perhaps in better
health than ever before. She is subject
to colds, but a few swallows of Brewer'-

Magnetic Cure. Dr. HILL is the first
man to discover the philsophical principle
that all nervous paius, aches, ana debility
should be treated directly from the brain
battery,” from whence emanate all nerv
ous ' force and will power. All other
forms of treatment for nervous disorders
are failure. Every person who suffers
from nervousness knows this, and that
medici .es only palliate, but never cure.
These appliances are magnetic, and differ
from all others on the market which are
electric. Magnetism is tLe life of man.
Their curative qualifies are wonderful in
all nervous complaints. The Roman phy
sicians practiced magnetic treatment 1,000
years ago in nervous diseases, but did not
treat from the "brain bat'ery.” Dr. HILL
has made this great discovery, the only
sure cure for uervous Headaches Rheuma

I was called to see Mr. John Pearson
who was confined to his bed with what
appeared to bo consumption of the worst
form. As all of his family had died with
that dread disease (except his half brother)
his death was regarded as certain and
soon. After exhausting all the remedies,
I finally, as a last resort, sent for a bottle
of Brewer’s Lung Restorer, and it acted
like magic. He continued the use of it
for some time aud has been fully restored
to health. So far as 1 could discover, he
had consumption, and Brewer's Lung Re
