Georgia, some day, will become five

such as she has, to make that now..

No state convention ever held In Georgia
was freer from bossism than was the one
held last week. Oue editor in Alabama
claims that Colquitt managed the conven¬
tion, The Alabama editor deserves a
storm of ridicule.
Some of the dailies have theii editorial
pages filled with suggestions of this crank
and that crank, this politician and that
statesman as candidate for president. No
matter who is spoken of or by whom the
name is offered those papers seize upon
such items with unnatural avidity.
The burning of most of the business
portion of Sandersville last week was a
heavy blow upon many of the best people
in the world. The writer knows and loves
the Sandersville people, and believes that
those entcrpiising people will soon make
their town a batter business location than
it ever was.
The political pot will boil; the political
cauldron will bubble; the political fires will
burn ; the political mud-sliugers will get in
their work, and all Ibis fun will be kept
going until after the first week in January.
There is no way of getting around all this
fun unless most of the voters are gagged
and blindfolded for a time.
Some of the city dailies, even, know no
•letter than to think that the tariff debates
ia Congress and between most of the news¬
papers is nothing but a fight between the
Free Traders and the High Protectionists.
The New 0. loans Times Democrat and the
Anniston Hot Bh st seem to bo deplorably
ignorant on this important issue Free
Trade journals are about as hard to find in
Georgia as Protection papers. That means
that there are almost none here.

Macon Telegradkt —Mrs. Snsau Edwards
died at Sandy Point Crawford county, on
Wednesday morning at the advanced age
of S4 year's. She was buried yesterday,
and the funeral services were conducted by
Dr. Carter, of Knoxville. She was the
oldest member of the Methodist rhu c i in
Sandy Point.
Mrs Caroline Heard died in Sandy Point
on Thursday, at the age of <55 years. She
■was buried yesterday.
Good rains fell around Knoxville on
Thursday, which revived the oats. Every
bo.ly is busy chopping out cotton and set¬
ting out potato di aws.
t In justice to the public
and for the benefit of the Telegraph,
we beg leave to edge in a few corrections
just here -
There has not died in this county any
lady bearing" the name of Mrs. Susan Ed¬
wards,
Knoxville knows no such man as Dr,
Cariej - .
There is no Methodist church at Sandy
Point, Crawford county, Ga.
So much for the first item.
No lady by the name of Mrs, Caroline
Heard bus ever lived, or died, or been bur¬
ied at Samly Point within the recollection
of the oldest inhabitant of that district.
So much for item number two.
Good rains did not fall around Knox¬
ville Thursday, and the oats were not re¬
vived very much. Neither did ouv famers
set out potato draws in the dust, which
was very had.
With these few trifling exceptions the
Telegraph 's “suburban” news was quite
true.
If it were uc*t for the fact that wo intend
to enlarge The Journal soon we would,
exchange with our enterprising neighbor
so that those of the Macon people who do
not take this paper would be able to learn
through their morning paper something of
what is transpiring iu Crawford county.

A practical revivalist requested all iu
the congregation who paid their debts to
rise. The rising was general. Alter they
had taken their seats, a call w. s made for
those who didn’t; pay their debts, and one.
solitary individual arose, and explained
that he was the editor, and could not pay
because the rest of the congregation were
owing him their subscriptions.—Exchange.
An improved railway passenger coach is
so arranged that if it falls off a bridge into
the water, the side panels, root and ends
the car become disconnected and float
ab-nit as life rafts. Air cushions are at¬
tached to the various parts to insure greater
buoyancy. This might do very well if
were certain to occur over water,
but unfortunately they are not.
Dit. DeBausset, the inventor of an air¬
has succeeded in getting Congress to
him almost substantially. The
Committee on Ventilation and
has instructed its chairman to
a hill appropriating §150,000 to
the scheme when the f ir. shall demonstrate
the practicability of his invention. The
of people would hoot at the idea of
such invention ever becoming practi¬
but an almost perfect air-ship would
not be as wonderful as an invention as
was the first steam engiuc. DeBausset
has the advantage of numerous late inven¬
tions in the use of steam, electricity and
gases.
Last Friday morning a negro child was
found dead iu Little lliver, on Charles
Nix’s plantation, in Cherokee county, where
it appeared to have been for many days.
The body was badly mutilated, which pos¬
sibly might have been doue in kill ling it.
Bailiff Hunnicutt had previously arrested
Alice Childers (colored) on a warrant for
infanticide, and lodged her in Canton jail.
From the evidence, the jury rendered a
verdict finding Alice Childers guilty of
murdering her own infaut, and throwing
the body into the river to conceal the crime.
Tiin Mormon elders of Latter Day Saints
are carrying on their work of proselyting
at Augusta and iu Richmond county bold¬
ly. They seem to prefer the neighborhood
around the factories. The outgoing trains
on the Georgia railroad : Sunday mornings
arc generally crowded with believers of tlie.
new faith, who go up to Grovetown, and
then off into the country in a short direc-,
lion, to where the elders preach and bap¬
tize. They have, it isveported, made great
headway in spreading their doctrines, and
in many cases entire families have em¬
braced their teachings. Two of the saints
are women.
