Thm Month of March, 1888, will ever
be memorable as a season of blizzards,
snow storms and floods. In Georgia, es¬
pecially, it has beeu a bad month for rail¬
road and other accidents. It may justly
be called the bloody March of ’88.
Jas. G. Blaise tried to secure the ser¬
vices of the Eroneh cook which Vanderbilt
has hired. Some of Blaine's friends are
sorry that he could not gel the gastonomic

A Convention for April 25th at Atlanta
has been called by the executive committee

will meet to consider the advisability ol

Smithville News: “The Knoxville
Journal is little only in size. It is in all
respects a most desirable exchange, and
we shake hands cordially.”
As we have always considered the News
one of the spiciest and manliest of country
weeklies it will not bo strange if we fuel
highly complimented by the above men¬
tion. We return the harid-sti:ih"e.
The Dooly County Vindicator is doing
some good work for the South, in the wav
of inducing immigration from Washington
City and the North. In the last issue ol
that journal wa notice the following :
“A terrible snow storm was experienced
in Washington City last week, reports ol
tin suffering show it to be very great.
All R R's and street car lines were com¬
pelled to suspend for several diys, business
men could not possibly reach their places
of business, frequently by one the could xmly tell
where a house stood faint appear¬
ance of smoke from the tops of the chim¬
ney’s, the houses are completely hidden.
Moral. Come South.”
Senator Colquitt’s speech op the tariff
must have been a good one. With due
respect to Senator Colquitt’s ability we say
that a tariff reform speech from any Sena¬
tor who has such a well-informed private
secretary as he has would be a strong^ and
effective ooe. Some time next summer
when we have more time we will read this
great tariff reform argument.
The Central Railroad has a scheme for
immigration that is growing more popular
every day, and it is only a matter of time
when our other large roads will combine
with the smaller ones and extend the im¬
migration plan to where it will benefit the!
whole state.' Northern people need very
little encouragement to induce them to
come South and settle, and such a scheme!
as the Central proposes cannot fail of good
results.
Some ajsthetic Georgians are shocked to
learn of the kind of a turnout Uncle
Joseph and Mrs. Brown use on the streets
in the national capital. Ilis carriage
doesn't apperr to have been painted since
the war, and the horses are shabby ani
mals. Doubtless Uncle Joe can’t forget
the team by which he got his start, and
feels that the one he is now u-ing is im¬
provement enough on the old one until the
‘‘betterments’’ come come in.
Tariff Redaction and the Snr
pins.
The Ishmaelite speaking on the above
subject-says:
Joe Rrown, the Atlanta Constitution
and other monopolism and agents of mo¬
nopoly prefer the reduction to be made by
abolishing the taxes on whisky, cigars,
crgarct.ts and tobacco, leaving the tax on
the necessaries substantially as they are.
Those are the alteative propositions on
which the people are called to pass In
other words, they are summoned to decide
whether they will have efieap necessaries
or cheap nuisance.
The Atlanta Constitution which is the
main striker in Georgia for the republican
programme of reduction, as opposed to
that of the democratic president, rins ad¬
vanced quite a number of ridiculous
reasons for favoring that course It has
been driven from every position that it
has taken heretofore • and now it is trying
to intrench itself behiud the proposition
that any reduction in the rate of duties on
the necessari-s of life will increase instead
of diminish the surplus—a proposition
which the records of the country show to
be false, That fact is, however, a very
small consideration with that paper. It
does not hesitate to oppose its unsupport¬
ed assertion to facts, records, statistics and
all else pertaining to lair argument.
It does not stand to reason in the first
place, that a decided reduction of tariff
duties could create a surplus for the reason
that the tariff reduction would not cause
any great increase in the import of such
articles as now constitute the main source
of custom house revenue. The articles on
which duties are prohibitory now would
be imporc&i in largely increased quantities,
perhaps ; but even then the revenues de¬
rived from such articles would be small as
compared , to . the reduction ... which , . , would ,,
fol’o-v a heavy lowering of the duties on I
rice, cotton and , woolen , goods, , inn .
sugar, J .
and manufacturers of iron and steel and
raw materials. If a 20 per cent, reduction
did not reduce the revenues sufficiently, a
50 per cent. r< dncliou would. That mat¬
ter could ho easily adjusted.
But we are not left to conjecture in this
matter. The tariff history of the country
shows that an increase of duties has been
followed by an increase of revenues, and a
decrease in duties by a decrease in reve¬
nues, comparing cioso periods with each
ither. The entire tariff leg slatien of the
country has proceeded on that idea, and
there is notan instance in which an increase
ot revenue was sought by a decrease of
duties.
The system of working the public roads
which is most in vogue over the estate, is
very unsatisfactory, and of late there has
grown up a general demand for a better
road working*system. The next General
Assembly will, no doubt, have this matter
before them a good deal of the time, and
we beliove that the plan of raising a tax
fur the purpose of keeping up the roads
will be the popular one. This way of
making the poor farm laborer, a young
store clerk or any sateen-year-old boy
contribute as much towards working the
road? as a millionaire is made to pay, is
unjust, and under any such system the
public highways must suffer for attention
and care.

At Trion Factory, Chattooga county,
Wednesday, A. A. Aliraon accidentally
shot his sou, John Alimon, with a pistol.
Young Alirnou had the pistol in his baud,
and, in passing it to his father, the weapon
was accidentally discharged, the ball en¬
tering the son’s neck. He is seriously,
and perhaps mortally, wounded.
At Cavtersville Tuesday 100 hands com¬
menced work building a railroad on the
site of the old “Cooper road,” from the
west end of the Western and Atlantic rail¬
road bridge up the Etowah river. It will
be ex 1 ended into the Etowah Company’s
property at present, but in the course of
time may be extended on to Canton, or
somewhere else.
There was a collision on the Southwest¬
ern railroad at the trestle over Kiuchafoonee
near Tlronwood a few cays ago. An owl
being blinded by the headlight of the can¬
non ball, collided with it, breaking the
glass and remained clinging to it until the
train reached Bronwood, when his owlship
was captured, tied to the injured headlight
and then carried on to Montgomery.
Adolph Ochs, of Chattanooga, has shown
what enterprise and push will do, no mat- ..
t<u how discouraging the surroundings.
T . eWe years ago he was a nevvsb y. To¬
day ho is the owner of the Chattanooga
Daily Times, and is worth quite a com¬
fortable fortune. He has devoted his en¬
ergies to building up the South, an l his
journal is one of the most influential in the
State.
At Adairsvillc, ns Mr. Waldrip was re¬
turning hame, Monday night about 9
o’clock, when near the new Methodist
church, which is in the l eart of town,
some one rushed from the darkness,
knocked Mr. Wa'drip down and plunged
a knife into his left side. Fortunately, a
pocket in his coat was full of letters and :v
heavy memorandum hook besides, wheel*
saved his life, doubtless, as his top and
under clothing were cut through, and the
thrust penetrated the papers and book in
his pocket. The grudge of the assasiu is
i.o, known by Mr. vValdrip, as lie is una¬
ware of an enemy, and he never carries
any money about his person. .v
