SUNDAY. JULY "a, 1881.

THE extraordinary relapse of the President
yesterday at O'Clock seems to have been
wholly due to complete stoppage OF the
flow from the wound through sudden
obstruction Of some kind. The opening
of the passage liberated Ereenlsh
nus. which evidenced detention
of some hours. Immediate relief fol-
lowed this action Of the surgeons, which
was taken late in the day, and, under An III
creased dose of morphine, the patient slept
all through tna night his pulse and temper
ature failing back to the points at which the
public las learned there is no special danger.

SAYS the New York Tribune: 1.-THE Leg
isi,turc has now perfected, passed, ana the Gov
ernor hus signed the Special Elections BILL. In
its tnnl shnpe it tenves the Governor without
discretion rs tn ordering new election 10 case
of Congressional vacancies. but positively
directs that he shall do so where the Vacancy
occurs more than sixty days before general
election. No speclul election shall be held,
however, within twenty days of a general etcc-
ton. Some regret seems to be selt that the
mandatory clause was inserted. but it. Is one
which will hardly do hur1n, und It may. ut some
time in tho future, prevent partisan Governor
from instlsiug his puwcrs to infect the orgaittzA-
ton of Il House of Representatives Sumo Gu
rious opposition WAS made to the bill in the AS
seu,biy. Mr. Er,,stus Brooks took the ground
uxaiust 1t that the State had got along eighty
years without such Il law.-an objection which
could hayc been urged, in times past, to many
things, Including Mr.. Erastus Brooks. Mr.
TriuIble who lives In one of the vacated dis
tricts-Mr. Morton's-voted against the till,
showing how deep sense Of responsibility he
has in his legislative action.

Why Is 1t :?
STEPHENS CITY Boys,

WE often hear the question asked,
"Whv is it that G. T. Mayors succeeds
in distributing such a large amount OF
merchandise among the people each
year ?" We append the following as
our answer:
lst. His purchases are made IN q
large measure direct from manufac-
turers or their agents, thus saving to
his customers the usual iobbers profit.
I'd. From his large and varied stock
(probably the heaviest carried by any
one establishment in the county,, you
can always be sure Of getting just
what you want, and not be compelled
to substitute something else.
Sd. The prices at which he marks
his goods are fully ten per cent. lower
than other houses, depending for his
income rather upon the quantity han
died than high rate Of profit:
4th. The prices he allows for pro-
duce in exchange for goods will al
WAYS be found to be shade higher
than the current market rates.
4th. His modest but pointed adver-
tisement is always found in the col
umns of the Star, the statements con.
tanned in which are fully corroboratec
by a visit to his establishment. 4t4

notwithstanding the many difficult
ties raised to retard the committee on
education, we are glad to inform our
readers that arrangements have been
made by which our citizens are to
have the advantages Of a classical
school for a period of at least nine
months. We learn that the committee
of education propose running the
school from their own private funds,
and leave it to the people whether
they will support it or not. Whils'
the people have been somewhat tar
dy in awakening to the vast import
ance of classical school, we feel sur
they will support it literally when tn
school is opened.

thousand pounds of powder, when from
some unknown cause it exploded, blowing
him thirty feet, and setting his clothing OIL
fire. He was moved to a hospital at Hell
