The Lime-Kiln Club.
THE PRESIDENT TELLS HOW IT'S FINANCES
ARE RUN TO PREVENT REGULATIONS.

For quarter of an hour previous to
the opening of the meeting Brother
Gardner seemed to be puzzled over the
contents of letter, and when the tri-
angle sounded he arose and said:
"Heah am a communication from the
Treasury Department in which the ques-
ton am axed if our treasurer kin git
away wild our club funds, and if not,
why not. am also in receipt of seberal
odder letters kindly holdin' out de
warnin' dat dis am de aige of onsartinty,
an dat we should hev an eye on de
pusson who carries de key to our cash
box.
'Eber since dis club had its fust
nickel in de treasury we hev recognized
two fundamental facts: l. De man who
doan' git chance to steal am obleeged
to be honest. 2. He who am thoroughly
honest won't object to sartin restrlck-
shuns. OAR nebber has been an neb-
ber will be a time when our treasurer
| kin Law his hands on 'nuff money to pay
his fare fifty miles by rail. While we
respeck him, we remove all tempta-
shun, While we hev confidence in his
integrity, we feel dat he am but human
arter all. Fur de satisfackshun of dc
members of de club an de friendly pub
ic I will make an explanashun.
"Our cashier am permitted to handle

of each week. Dem vouchers mus

of it a check mus be signed by de presi

pusson who goes to de bank mus b
accompanied by two p'leecemen. D
rent of dis hall am paid in de presenc
of de Finance Committee, an a,
moneys received am counted and swor
to by the Committee on Safety. As
said at de start, we believe everybod
to be honest, but at de same time W
believe it am cheaper to watch our cas-
dan to hire detectives to run after on

I'll tell you story, mamma,
I'll ''make it up" you know
There once was a little princess,
Lived years and years ago.
Her mother loved and loved her,
And never made her mind,
And let her eat the cookies,
And-oh, was awful kind.
She stayed up late like grown folks,
Her mother liked her to,
And-won't you make this story
Come just exactly true

tioE. re have published several protests

tion q lanes or 10 lanes has been very

COMMODORE, GA, May 16.-On our way
here we made our friend, NJ. d. Macarthur,
the promised visit, and received a hearty
welcome, and return thanks for favors.
Turpentine seems to have taken this
county by storm, there being now in full
operation some eight or ten stills, run
ming about $50 crOps-i. e., Z, 100000 boxes
which, with good luck, ought to turn
out 1000 barrels spirits turpentine and
$4,000 barrels rOsin. This business here
has been under way only about two years.
For transportation the manufacturers
have to depend upon the river. Out of the
eight stills, five Of them haul their stuff
to the river, eight to ten miles, where the
steamers take it to DoctortOwn.
Crops throughout the county are fine.
This county last year was in the dry belt,
and nothing was made, therefore corn and
forage has been In demand. Corn sells
for cash at 81 %, hay at 81 30 per hundred
weight. Oats are fine, and the farmers
will soon begin harvesting. That dread
disease, the hog cholera, has come again,
and the farmers see both their fat and
lean hogs die.
The quarterly meeting Of the Methodist
Church is now in session at Reidsville.

The Sunday schools of the county are to

Mail communication with this place is
an outrage on the people. Your valuable
paper is only two weeks old when we get
it. The trouble is at Baxley, where the
mail for this place is made up.
Labor Of all kind is in demand, both for
farm and turpentine purposes.
Allow me to return thanks to Captain
Mobley, of steamer North State, for IA
vOrs. Also to the Waterman for special
favor. LUMBER.

The English Editorial Writer.

The Arkansaw IrdUeler says: This
country will not be a success until Eng
lish editorial writers pay more attention
to American politics. A staff correspond
ent Of one OF the great London dailies
visited this country some time ago, and
while in Arkansas sent the following let
ter to his journal: "Arkansas is situated
between Memphis and San Francisco. Its
climate is mild in winter, but in summer,
l am told by an old inhabitant, is ex-
tremely cold. The Governor of this State
receives $500, 900 a year, which he spends
mainly for the entertainment of his
friends. / am much concerned in Ameri-
can politics, and never tire OF studying
the situation. At the present writing the
country is much stirred up about Presi-
dent Dorsey. He went out on his sheep
ranch somewhere in Cleveland, and has.
not been heard of since. Should he never be
found, Vice President Sam Tilden will be
knighted in his place."

WANTS A LEGAL POINT MADE
CLEAR,
Col. John II. Saussy and the Atlantic and
Mexican Gulf Canal Company.

ST. MARY's, GA, May 17.-EditOr Morn
ing NeUS: AS our city is deeply interested
in the construction Of the Atlantic and
Mexican Gulf canal, please allow me to
request Col. Saussy, attorney Of the COM
pany organized IN your city May IS, 1884,
to explain, legally, how it is possible for
a company organized in May, 1884. to
carry out the provision Of the company
incorporated February %, 1876, which
provides in SECTION as follows;
Provided the line for the canal ia selected
and marked within four years from the pas
sage OF this act.
How is 1t legally possible for the COM
pany just formed and represented by him
as its legal adviser to comply now with
the above stated provision requiring that
it should have been done, by the company,
chartered, within four years after the pas
sage Of the act approved Feb. %, 1876,
which was over eight years ago?
With few exceptions the legality of the
organization Of the company under Gen.
McLaws has not been questioned here,
and as the future of our city may de-
pend entirely upon the success of the
project, we are very anxious that the
legal status Of the Gov. Drew company
should be fully explained as soon as pos
sible, and we hope that the Colonel will
do SO without reserve. j. NJ. A.

that be would not be able to properly con-
