An Electric Clock.

"A great deal of interest has been
created in France by the novel form
and operation of an electric clock,
recently introduced, the popularity
in the construction OF which consists
in the presence of two kinds of bat
teries, one wet zinc-iron element
and the other a dry zinc-iron elc-
ment. The former consists of an
iron bottle FIVE and one half inches
high by three and one.haIf diameter,
which forms one elcctrode; the other
electrode is zinc rod passing
through an India rubber stopper
into the center of the bottle, this
being filled with caustic potash and
oxide of mercury. There is no
diaphragm, and the zinc is gradually
consumed, while the oxide of mer.
chry is reduced, the e. IN. f. is 1.3
volts, and the internal resistance
only g of an ohm. These clocks
receive an impulse forty times
minute. and exhibit no weakening
Of the power either in the dry or
the wet cell. An easy calculation
will show the interesting fact that
the total number of electrical im-
pulses exceeds 81 1000, 600 per aunum
certainly most severe duty for
any battery.-N. 7. Telegram.

HE American Summer School i,

Nearly half century ago Ameri-
can public school teachers began to
hold meetings called teachers insti-
tutes. They came together in the
spring and summer vacation. They
were pleasant, and were found to be
| very beneficial to the teachers. Lee
turers were employed; classes in
| literature, mathematics and the
sciences were formed. Teachers be-
came for the time pupils. They ob.
talned new ideas not only in book
learning, but in manners and morals,
and sometimes even in personal
cleanliness.
The institute stretched out and
enlarged till finally regular summer
normal schools We're established
Here the teacher of limited time and
means could come, and with small
expense, in course of ten weeks or
so, perfect himself in one or moro
studies. After two or three of these
summer terms he received diploma
and was graduate Of normal
institute. The institutes were in all
cases "co-eds," and more women than.
men usually took the course. These
schools, as we'll as the oid-fashioned
teachers institute, still flourish and
do much good.
Then another summer school took
its rise. This was that of which the
Chautauqua Circle is the type. Per-
sons Of religious tendency natu-
rally gathered at the same spot for
summer recreation. What more
natural than that they should seek
profit as we'll as amusement in these
delicious retreats? The Sunday.
school and the teachers institute
combined formed the model of tho
Chautauqua Circle. It has extended
all over the Union, and has spread
literary and scientific culture of q
popular character as nothing else
ever did. The South now has its
Chautanqua. So has the far West.
The old Concord School Of PhiIoso-
phy was a type Of the summer school
peculiar to itself.
The idea has been taken up finally
in England. Last year at Oxford
university summer session of ten.
days was held, at which the greatest
scholars of England gave sixty.ona
lectures. The school was attended
by one thousand students. Subjects
the most abstruse and profoundly
scientific were treated ia the lectures
This summer the session will be re-
peatcd. Our American summer
schools should steadily raise and
advance their standard of literature
and learning to the ighcst.

THE VACANT JUDGSHIP.

Judge WINS Successor will be
elected next Friday. Gilmer Supc-
rior Court convenes next Monday,
and it is necessary that the new
Judge should be elected and quail
fed in time to preside. The candi-
dates are Ex- Solicitor General Geo.
T. Gober and Ex-Judge George N.
Lester, both of Marietta, either of
whom will make competent Judge.
From present indications, it appears
that Mr.. Gober has the inside track,
already having pledged to him ia
members of the Legislature who
will vote for him, which gives him
more than enough to elect. If this
is true, as his friends assert, it as
sures his election beyond doubt
Mr.. Gober made one of the best
Solicitors we ever had, and, if elect
ed, he will make one of the best
Judges that ever presided over the
Blue Ridge Circuit. He was born
and raised in Cobb county, is a
graduate of the State University,
and is one of the best posted law
yers in Georgia. Young, energetic
and a hard worker, his success in
life has been deserved.
Since writing the above, a tele-
gram from Solicitor George Brown
informs us that the election will
take place on Thursday (to-day) and
that Hon. George F. Gober will be
elected Judge of the Blue Ridge
Circuit without opposition. The re-
tirement of Judge Lester removes
all complications.
Judge Gober, we congratulate
YOU

WHITE MEN RULED OUT.

The color line has been drawn by
the Chickasaw nation, which occu-
pies a portion of the Indian terrific
ry. The supreme court of that ma
ton has just decided that white men
who have married Chickasaw squaws
are no longer Chickasaw citizens.
They cannot vote, hold Office or own
land in the Chickasaw nation.
There are a great many white
men who are husbands Of Chickasaw
women and who, until this decision,
had all the rights Of Chickasaws.
They expected when the time came
to divide the lands which are now
held in common, to be placed upon
an equal footing with the Chicka-
saws. The lands have become very
valuable, and it is believed that this
is one of the reasons for the decis-
ION against the whites.
are otherfFeesassons. however,
one of III being that the whites
have tor long trnuvl&aen trying to
get control of affairs in the 'nr-.::-,.a,
They came very near succeeding at
the last election-so near, in fact,
that the full-blooded Chickasaws
determined to render them powerless
in the future.
1t seems rather remarkable thai
white men in any part of this coun.
try should be the victims of the col
or line. The men who have mar
ried squaws, however, and have
made their homes among the Indians
are, as general thing, none too
good to be the victims of some sor
of line.

Let the man who wants nobody to
differ with him, go to the graveyard.
The dead keep silence, and have no
interests or convictions that clash
with his own The intolerant man
can hold high sway and have great
satisfaction in the cemetery. But
among the living who struggle and
think and have a right to speak,
and an obligation to act their con-
illusions, he must make up his mind
to meet many men who do not look
through his eyeglasses; and if he
will only accommodate himself to
friction, it will polish his own sides,
and remove the rust, and warm his
own metal, and kindle the electric
current which blesses and impels the
world. Rome Tribune.

AN IMPORTANT LAW.

One of the most important laws
passed by the Georgia legislature
this session, concerning the bust
ness affairs of the people, was signed
by the governor on the first day of
October.
The law provides a specific change
in the existing law governing the
record of transfers and liens, defining
explicitly when such transfers and
liens shall take effect against the
third party.
Section first provides that deeds.
mortgages and liens how required
to be recorded in each county shall
take effect against third parties only
from the time they are filed in the
clerks Office for record. The re-
cord shall show the day and hour of
filing.
Section second requires that the
clerk of the superior court of each
county shall keep a general execu-
ton docket for such papers, and that
no money judgement obtained with
in the county of defendants resi-
dence shall have lien on the prop
erty at issue, unless the execution
shall be entered upon this docket 10
days from the time the judgment is
rendered. The lien shall date from
the entry OF the judgment.
Section third provides, as against
innocent third parties, no money
judgment obtained in any other
county than the one in which the de-
PENDANT resides shall have lien up
on the property in any other coun-
ty than where obtained, unless the
execution be entered upon the exc
cution docket of the county where
defendant resides, within 30 days
from the time the judgment is rem
dered.
Section tour provides that this act
does not effect the validity CT deed,
mortgage or lien between the parties
thereto.
Section five provides for fee to be
paid the clerk for filing and record
ing.
Section six provides that this act
shall go into effect three months az
ter it is approved by the governor.
Section seven repeats all conflict
ing laws.
This act will be is operation on
January LIST, 1890, as it was APPROX
ed October 1st.

We have known man who one
day discovered that through the
treachery of a trusted friend and bus
mess associate his business had been
ruined, and his accumulated proper
ty nearly, if not absolutely, swept
away. Yet, thoughts face became
graver than usual, his cheerfulness
of manner was not otherwise altered;
general confidence in his fellow-men
did not seem to waver; none but
kindly and even excusable words
fell from his lips concerning his be-
trayer; and he faced the world as
CALAMITY, and set to work to recon
struct his shattered fortunes as en-
ergetlcally, as if nothing discourag-
ing had betallen him. He exhibited
genuine Christian heroism of high
order and as impressively as modest
ly. Such examples OF strong and
noble character make one thank
God and take courage.

A very modest paragraph found
its way into Philadelphia republican
newspaper the other day. 1t con-
tanned the statement that colored
man had been elected from theatre
in that city. Philadelphia is a re-
publican stronghold, and with all
the talk of the republicans of that
city about the treatment of the col
Ored people, it would seem that the
colored man would have been allow
ed to remain in the theater. But
no. This talk is only for political
effect. At least the republican or
gans don't care snap for the colored
people.

THE TRUE SOURCE OF WEALTH..

An Alabama paper has been i'm
pressing upon its people that the
true source of wealth is the profit
arising from the finished product OF
the raw article in any given locality.
1t is not the raw cotton that makes
the section rich, but the finished
product ready for popular use. The
wheat producer may earn a comfort
able livelihood and become well fixed
in his old age, but it is at last the
great Touring mill msgnate that be-
comes the millionaire. The timbered
section makes the manufacturer rich
and not the man who furnished the
raw lumber. In all these cases the
man who is content simply to get out
the raw material and part with it has
not earned half that can be got out
of the product. The subsequent pro-
cesses by which it becomes ready
for the ultimate use, all carry a GER
tain amount of profit with them, of
which the original producer is not
only deprived, but which he often
pays tor when he buys back the fin
ished product. A man sells a walnut
log for five dollars and buys it back
in a bureau for fifteen dollars. Of
course the sale of the log ena 5les
him to buy the bureau, but he is
short two logs in every transaction.
If he could learn to manufacture his
furniture he would save two-t thirds
OF the cost. And so it is with the ag-
gregate of individuals-the commu-
nifty. To raise wheat in Dakota and
buy it back IRON Minnesota in flour
is to give half Of the possible wealth
of Dakota to Minnesota. TO raise
cotton in Georgia and buy clothing
in New England, is to give half of
the possible wealth to New England.
To be able to raise bacon in Georgia
and yet buy the whole supply from
Kansas City is to throw your money
away. Every community should be
able to follow its special raw pro-
ducts through all the processes get
ting it for ultimate use. In this
way and in this way alone can a sec
ton reap the full benefit of its nat
ural resources and special Advantages.
This is simple commercial princi-
pie that every community ought to
lay to heart and act upon. Every
town and city and locality has some
special advantages which properly
worked would prove a special source
Of wealth.

Quality versus Quantity.

Hunt & Co. have demonstrated
the fact that the people of Marietta
want quality rather than quantity,
for by handling only the best of
everything and strictly pure goods
they have built up a trade that has
certainly been very satisfactory to
themselves and now desire to ex-
press their appreciation by continu-
ing to offer only such goods as they
can recommend as being pure and
healthful. Having for long time
endeavored to keep always on hand
the best Jersey butter, they are now
prepared to always offer fine table
butter, which with the aid of a re-
frigerator, they are able to keep
firm and in fine condition.
Dove brand hams and breakfast
bacon and pure leaf lard are among
their specialties. "Momaja" coffee
is the best blended coffee on the
market, and the Java and Mocha in
two pound tins is the certainly the
finest to be had. Their "Aime'
-four has made itself an enviable
reputation and if you want good
