The Judges of the Supreme Court are
enjoying a short vacation.
The first term of the Georgia School of
Technology will begin ir. next October.
Commencement Season is now at hand,
and the schoolboys and girls are looking
forward with pleasure to the sweets of
vacation.
Voters should keep in view principle
and policy, and not give heed to the ffip
pant gush of unscrupulous tricksters and
.
political hucksters.
If a candidate can’t get office on 'his
.own merits, he ought not to expect the
■people to vote him in because he can
impute faults to his opponents.
Fort Valley will have a big barbecue
and public dinner upon the completion of
the A. & K. R. "E. to that place. Those
who attend may expect a royal time.
Col. J H. Estill was elected the Geor¬
gia member of the national Democratic
committee, at St. Louis. This position
has been filled by Hoo, Patrick Walsh
■some time.
Let the enemies ot Cleveland’s adminis¬
tration wag as they will, the national
Democratic ticket, Cleveland and Thur¬
man, Will come straight through in the
■next election.
The Cleveland slander has been 1 traced
to one Berry, of New York, who is said to
bo the author of it. Everybody believed
- ; -'W v <it the author belonged to the small-fruit
variety of folks.
There is one difficulty at present with
(.Crawford county candidates, and it is this;
there are not enough offices for all of them
to have one, There must be more offices,
.or some ot th cm will have to wait until
me xt time.
A railroad to be bujjt between Augusta
.and Griffin is tallied of. It would be out
of the question to builcl a new road of tbe
same length in Georgia which, would pass
through so populous a section, or one as
well developed. This road will be built
some day.
This year is the semi-centennial of Wes
:Ieyan Female College, Sixty young ladies
will graduate at the approaching Com¬
mencement. This noble institution has
acccomplisbed great things in the past,
mud it is evident that its future will he
marked by prosperity.
The Journal takes this occasion to
tin form the pacple of Macon that- there is
a real railroad in Crawford county, and
■that it reaches all the way from here to
Atlanta. Much has been said over that
way about paper railroads and the Atlanta
■ana Florida has been virtually included in
■that list.
Now we ask the people of that city what
jras become of the Macon and Alabama
railroad ? Shall it be termed a road on
foryiw,? That .is the size.of it.at this time.
Rather Low Estimate.
The Fort Valley Enterprise, of last week,
says: “Some-of our exchanges arc -contin¬
ually trying to impress upon the people
the necessity of sending men to the Legis¬
lature who will raise all the Cain they can
about the convict leaso. All this has a
kind of school boy taint to us. We ven¬
ture to say not one-tenth of the editors in
the State know anything about the con¬
victs, the price paid for them or the
treatment they receive at the hands of the
lessees. Do the howling editors know that
every convict in Georgia was an expense
to the taxpayers of of the State until they
were leased out ?”
While our convictions on the convict
lease question may not he different from
those ot the Entei prise, still, it seems going
too far to say that not otle-tenth of the
editors know anything about the manage¬
ment of the convicts in Georgia. It would
be, hard to find an editor in the Slate so
foolish, so presumptuous that he would
attempt to debate a question of this kind
before informing himself upon it. AH
experienced newspaper men compile infor¬
mation on public issues and public ques¬
tions whether they have anything to say
in regard to them or uo.
Butler, Ga., is to have a Farmers
Alliance paper. If the members of this
organization subscribe for ail the papers
that now claim and will hereafter claim to
be run in their interest, and read and pay
for them, all of their time will be consumed
in reading and all of their money will gc
for papers.
The Bronwood Reporter clears up the
Harris county wild man mystery in this
way, and it may be the correct solution :
“Harris county has come to tbe front
with a genuine wild man. He is probably
trying to keep cut of the bands of his
friends who want to run him for office is
perhaps the reason he is thought to he
wild.”
When a fellow is brimful of greed for
office and his ambition measures up to tbe
same point, and, at the same time, he car¬
ries on his shoulders a head iu which it
would require the aid of a microscope to
find brains, it is a very easy matter for
him to make a blatant ass of himself.
VV bile this ... is . true, there . is a difficulty ,
which attends it: he never learns that he
so much resembles the long eared animal
of Palestine.
The Atlanta Evening Journal of the
12th inst, gives this bit of information :
“The suppoi ters of both Sherman and
Gresham are encouraged and stimulated
by the last letter of Blaine, which is
regarded as taking him out of the contest.
It now seems probable that tbe first brush
in the Chicago convention will be between
these two, and-it-is-difficult now to tell
which will lead on the first balloting.
Sherman and Malione were reported to be
in conference for hours at Washington
yesterday—the object doubtless being to
devise means of securing the searing of
Mahone’s irregularly chosen delegates from
Virginia. If any trickery can do this,
Sln-rman and Mahone will be found equal
to the undertaking.”
The State road will have paid into the
State treasury, at -expiration of its present
lease, six millions of dollars. The future
management of this road, or what dispo¬
sition shall be made of it, is a question for
the people of Georgia. It is therr .property
and they ought to endeavor to arrive at a
-wise conclusion in the settlement of this
all important question.
