Bad Air.

Malaria is not wholly appropriate as
a name for the fever and other symp-
toms that go under it, for it conveys
cause, while for fact. true intern1it-
tent and other malaria probably as
often find their way into us through
drinking water. Many region might
escape the reputation Of being ma7arial
if the inha bitants would filter or ster-
ilize their drinking water. On the
other hand bad air. is as often the
cause of symptoms not considered ina
larial as it is of the special fevers and

Owens and his friends, and thereby
giving to us in all our future elections
the certainty of lnendacity, vitupera-
ton, lavish use of money and every
thing which degrades, corrupts and
breeds violence. and that whatever ot
this kind is INDUCED in thereafter
will have the sanction Of these
preachers and will be claimed to
be consistent with religion. As
look back upon the canvass J have

NIormons Not Wanted.

Mormon missionaries are nowhere

been chased out of number of coun-
ties. Last month four of them were at
work in Guilford county. They con
Quoted their work mostly among the
most ignorant country people, and
always held their meetings at
night. News of their work spread,
and fifteen prominent farmers of
that section determined the Mormons
should go. They were not disguised.
Two had guns. They went in daylight
to the house of James Banister, where
they found the four Mormons. They
notified the latter that they must leave
at once, and said they would escort
them out of the county. They de
clared no violence was intended but
that the Mormons must 60. The latter
were placed on horseback, and the pro
cession moved off. The Mormons were
SO pleased that no violence was
done them that they compli-
mented the regulators. No more
was thought Of the matter until
recently, when some Guilford county
people who were friendly with the Nor
mons swore out warrants for all the
regulators. Their attorney said plain
ly that no jury in the state would con
vict them. as public sentiment was in
line with them and heartily condemned
the Mormons. A complete exposure Of
Mormon practices and of their secret
work at night was made. All the de-
PENDANTS were acquitted, as they had
done no violence.

A Georgia Gold Bug.

There IS one man in Atlanta, Ga,
who believes that all the gold there is
in real estate is not to be found by the
process of speculation, and hence, with
his negro attendant, with pick and
shovel he is turning up the black soil
on the banks of a little branch in the
eastern section of town, looking dill
gently for gold which he believes to be
there. The new gold mine is To-
Gated between Waterhousc and
Wyly streets, and the vein is be-
lieved to run east and west. Heca-
tombs Of earth and powders of rock
have been displaced in the effort to get
down to ''slate" on which the gold is
known by all miners to rest. Six feet
deep down in the murkey soil the exca'
vators have gone, but the coveted gold
cludes the anxious eye, and the miners
turn here and there, laboring under
the difficulty Of uncertainty. If he
should luckily uncover a vein of gold
he will be Atlanta's benefactor, for it
might prove the ''forty-niner" for the
city and overrun it like California in
the initial days of her impulse to pros
perity. The people in that part Of the
city are deeply interested and all of
