We confess to an admiring belief in
Mr.. Blaine's talents, but we do not
believe in Mr.. Blaine, nor in the
solidity of the reputation he enjoys.
1t is time that thoughtful Republic
cans should cease to bow to names
and should pay more heed than they
have sometimes done to principles.
We believe that Mr.. Blaine's nomi.
nation would be a misfortune that
must inevitably end in defeat for the
Republican party; and if the prevail.
ing wind shows that the straws blow
in his direction, the sooner that the
wind changes the better it will be-

This is what you ought to have, in
fact you must have it to fully enjoy

attain this boon. And yet it may be
had by all. We guarantee that Elec-

tons and the use persisted in, will

It Prevents Rust.

A mechanic says that in order to
keep machinery from rusting he takes
one ounce of camphor and dissoIves
it in a pound of melted lard, taking
off the schum, and mixing in as
much fine black lead as will give it
color. The machinery is then clean
ed and smeared with this mixture.
After "A hours the machinery is
rubbed clean with soft linen cloth, and
it will keep clean for months. The
same artisan gives the following
method of hardening tools. Forge
the tool into shape, then melt in a
dish sufficient Babbitt metal to cover
the end of the tool as far as it is wish
ed to harden it. Thrust the tool into
the metal and let it cool. This meth
cd makes the tool much harder than
cooling in oil or tempering by any
other process.

Malaria.

Is your system full of malaria? Do
you feel weak and mean all over?
Have you got the ague? Then why
don't you do something to get well.
You say quinine doesn't do you any
good. Well you needn't let that dis
courage you. There is one remedy,
Smiths Tonic Syrup made by DIR.
John Bull, of Louisville, KY, that is
far ahead of quinine. 1t will cure
chills and fever when quinine and
everything else fails. This remedy
never has failed. In some neighbour
hoods where chills and fever are
common, it is found in every houses
hold. Why a man would as soon re-
fuse his family food to.eat, as to re-
fuse to get another bottle of Smiths
Tonic Syrup when the old bottle gave
out. 1t is great preventive ofague.
A single dose will sometimes keep
off an attack. A few dozes will
break up the fever and cure the chills.
1t does not leave any unpleasant after
effects as quinine sometimes does. 1t
will not harm the most delicate in
valid. Give it a trial and you will
soon be we'll.

Good Sense.

1t will preserve us from censorious-
ness; will lead US to distinguish cir
cumstances; keep us from looking
after visionary perfection, and make
us see things in their proper light. 1t
will lead us to study dispositions, pc
culiarities, accommodations to weigh
consequences to determine what to
observe, and what to pass by ; when
to be immovable, and when to yield.
1t will produce good manners, keep
us from taking freedoms, and hand
ling things roughly will never agitate
claims of superiority, but teach us to
submit ourselves one to another.
Good sense will lead persons to regard
their own duties, rather than to
recommend those of others.

Morbid contemplation and analysis
of self, to the exclusion of active du>

which carelessly inficts harm and

ciprocity is the highest form of Pro,
tection." He has told the members

CINCINNATI, Sept. 26.-Though the skies
are still lowering, and rain falling. there

The first thing on the programme was

Following this was paper on "The lease

ings" by W. j. Lee of Scottsboro, Ala, a

state. This was followed by discussion.
At the afternoon session there was war

Alabama and Georgia Maj. Greene SAYS
the route surveyed is good all the way from
Quincy to Rockford. From that place to
Bessemer, distance Of seventy-seven miles,
the preliminary survey runs through
Greene is satisfied, however, that
he will be able to find much
better route from Rockford TO Bessemer
than the line first run He also believes
that the final survey will shorten the dis
tance between Quincy and Bassemer from
fifteen to twenty miles Mai Greene has
disbanded both engineering corps for the
present. and will soon MAKE an elaborate
report OF the work already accomplished to
the promoters of the enterprises. These
gentlemen control ample means, and will
build the lire if practicable route is found.
g. Gunby Jordan is the chief spirit in tho
enterprise and, it Is said, can secure ample
capital with which TO build the road, pro-
vided a practicable route is found.
Referring to the freight blockade at
Americas a report from that place says:
They have now discovered that the block
ade is caused by the immense shipments of
cotton from all points IN the southwestern
division, from Fort Valley TO Eufaula, and
ITOIu tue columbus uiNlSlOu, winch are
coming here by the thousands OF bales, to
be turned over Co the Savannah, Americas
and Montgomery railroad, and by them
transported over their line to Savan-
nah and Brunswick. So Supts. Starr
and Mckenzie are still hard at
work transferring cotton by the
carload to the railroad. That all this
cotton should be leaving its usual channel
OF shipment via the Central, and come to
Americas to DO hauled by its youthful rival
to its ports, seems to indicate 90 the Central
officials that there is something rotten in
Denmark in freight rates, a ID big row is
imminent. The ball was opened yester-
day by Supt Starr refusing to transfer any
more cars to the Savannah, Americas and
Montgomery yards, and requiring the Sa-
vannah, Americus and Montgomery to dray
1t across the town. IL q cut is made by the
Central to meet the supposed breach Of the
traffic agreement by tue Savannah, Amer
icus and Montgomery, lively times may be
expected, and Amerious will become the
seat of war in earnest. Col Hawkins pro-
poses TO haul the crop Of Southwest Georgia,
and so does the Central: and when an IRE
sistible body strikes an impenetrable sub
stance, the 'melish' in the vicinity had
better lie down in the bomb-proofsn

The Charleston and Savannah road is still
hauling fruit and vegetables.
The Pennsylvania company received the

Maj. Glessner, the Central's immigrant
agent, writes from Ohio that he is meeting
with much encouragement In getting up his
October excursion, and hopes to bring a
large number down, many of whom are
prospecting.
George d. Harris of Salisbury, N. c..
who has for long time been connected
with the mechanical department of the

tured Col. Machen and his party in good
STYLE 1t wasn't necessary FOR an enter
prise of such magnitude as the Middle
Georgia and Atlantic Air Line to be carried
in with label attached la order TO secure
substantial recognition. Machen has bis
island and Savannah seems to have secured
the railroad.
A South Carolina planter complains of
railroad excursions interfering with the
cotton harvest. He says: 1.-THE railroad
and the cities to which they are run may
be making money By them, but they are
running the farmers. Our cotton Is rottiug
In the fields for want of labor to pick it out
and. unless the excursions are stopped, it
will be impossible for US 10 gather our
crops"
The Americas Recorder is pleased with
the work of Supt Starr of the Central at
that place, and says: "Supt. W. w. Starr,
who has been in the city for several days
looking after the removal Of the great
freight blockade in the Central yards, will
leave to-day for Macon, having succeeded
in putting everything in smooth working
order Supt. Starr deserves great credit
for the vigorous efforts he put forth In be-
half of the shippers over the Centraps line.
The Dublin Post says: The Wrightsville
and Tennills railroad will be extended to
Abbeville and Triton. The country through
which this road will pass is noted for It's
fine virgin forests, aud new industries will
spring up all along the line. 1t will be a
paying road and will develop a fine country.
President Thomas has spoken to Engineer
Arthur Pew in regard to surveying the
route, and it is quite likely that he will
enter into the work, making Dublin head

Froni the Minneapolis Tribune.
When the Champion stage reached this
city this afternoon the driver announced
that he had been held up and robbed while
in Browns gulch, near this city. When the
stage left Champion this morning IL had on
board driver Andy Granger, Daniel Mooney
and a lady whose name the driver did not
know. When coming do Nn Browns gulch,
about sixteen miles from Butte Mr.. Granger
was startled by the sudden appearance of a
masked man at the outside, who demanded
an instantaneous uplifting of hands As
this demand was backed by a Winchester
1t passed current and the hands went up
The lady was not disturbed, as the robber
had all the chivalrous attributes of Claude
Duval, but he made the men climb down
out of the wagon without exhibiting much
feeling for their suffering, and when on the
ground they were ordered to take off their
coats and vests and place them on the
ground in front of the bandit king. This
they did and then reiterated out Of reach,
while their valuables were transferred to
the possession of another.
AS soon as he was satisfied he had all
their loose effects he ordered both of the
men to take up their clothing and get out of
there with all speed, which order was cheer
fully obeyed. Mr.. Granger lost valuable
gold watch and chain and $40 in money,
while Mr. Mooney only lost 81, all in cash.
According to the best description the vic
tins could give, their hold-up was young
man of about medium hight and build, with
brown hair. His voice was described as
being particularly soft and musical He
wore a mask and pair of common goggles.
