not tear or rip off the buttons from
the most delicate garment. Can
wash eight sheets in four minutes.
Can wash faster than a woman can
suds, rinse and hang out. Every
machine put out on trial will prove

political outlook from this standpoint il
assuming some queer shapes on the
political checkerboard each player pauscs
and hesitates long in making a move be
cause everything becomes unsettled and
uncertain by reason of it.. The term Of
office of Hon. George T. Gober. the pres
ent judge Of the Blue Ridge circuit, and
who resides here expires i'm about two
years. The solicitor general under him IS
Hon. George II. Brown. whose home is in
Cherokee county, and whose term of office
expires about the same time. In this city
is Hon. X. N Holland the present mayor
and also representative for this county in
the Legislature.
Up in Pickens county is his brother-in-
law, Hon. Carter Tate, who represents the
ninth congressional district in congress
Colonel Brown has been regarded as a
very probable candidate either for con-
gress from the ninth district or for Judge
of the Blue Ridge circuit on the next
round. If he runs for congress he opposes
Colonel Tate and leaves a gap down for
Colonel Holland to run for solicitor to sue
Cecd him, and Colonel Tom Hutchinson the
law partner of Colonel Brown is also
spoken of as a candidate for this office.
Yet il can be safely asserted that Judge
Gobcr's friends are going to urge him to
allow the use OF his name for the judge
ship another term.
So there seems to be no chance for
move at all without supplanting some
body.

Macon. Ga, March 27-(Special )-Major
J. f. Hanson has filed suit against Major
\. O. Bacon, in Bibb superior court, for
Sl4, 1889. The papers were served on Ma
jor Bacon this morning.
The petitioner alleges that on April s,
1891, he was approached by A. O. Bacon
and requested to sign as surety certain
bond of J. $. McTighe & Co., required by
the United States court for 100000
The petitioner declined to sign the bond,
but at that time and afterwards the said
Bacon importuned petitioner representing
that the signing of the bond by petitioner
was "A mere matter of form and. involving
no risk. The said Bacon further assured
petitioner personally that he would see to
it that petitioner would never have to pay
a nickel.
Hansons petition was that he did every
thine in his power to induce Bacon to
protect him, as he had promised to do, but
Bacon refused to do so and petitioner was
compelled to pay out $13625.
And that these payments were
demanded during time of great
financial disasters and he had difficulty in
meeting same, even going to the extent
of trying to sell his private residence, all
of which was known to the said Bacon.
He afterwards paid out as costs and attor-
ney's fees SS0S.S9.
And that these suns were paid
out by him because lie signed the
said bond at the instance of said Bacon.
Wherefore. he says that the said Bacon
is indebted to him i'm the sum of ST., SO,

Artificial Cotton.

United States Consul Morris at
Cheat Belgium, in special re-
port to the State department at
Washington D. c.. describes a
process of making artificial cot
ton which has been remarkably
successful, the product being much
cheaper than the natural cotton
and possessidg most of its quail
ties.
"The basis is wood pulp which
by a course of treatment fully de-
scribed by the consul, is changed
into pure celulose and spun thread
and then woven into cloth. 1t re-
sembles ordinary cotton, but has a
slight defect which, however, it
may be easy to remedy-that is, it
is not as strong as the natural pro-
duct. 1t weayes and works we'll
and can be dyed as we'll as cotton.
By coating it with parafne and
passing it over a glass, a beautiful
brilliancy may be given to it.
Much greater strength eau be i'm

Mr.. EDITOR: The ouly obstacle
in the way of restricting the right

follows:
"The right of citizens Of the
United States TO vote shall not be
denied or abridged by the United

The New Constitution.

The Augusta Evening News an
nounces that in the new Constitu-
tion for this State, to be adopted
in the September Convention, the
following clauses will appear.
"Woman suffrage will be adopt
ed to the extent of allowing every
woman a vote who pays taxes
upon property to the value of 800
or more.
All male citizens paying taxes
upon like amount of property
will be allowed two votes, all 9th
er males, or those who pay only a
poll tax or upon property less chan
the amount above named, allowed
on.y one vote.
This is theplan that will be ad-
vocated by one of Carolina's
brainest men, and it is said with
the cooperation of Ex-Governor
Tillman. And it is thought that
it will be adopted with but slight
notifications, if, indeed. any at
all.
It is also claimed that it does
not conflict with the Federal Con-
stitution, and Will forever secure
to our sister State that which it
most craves-white supremacy.
The plan is certainly a novel
and unique one, and if adopted,
its workings will be watched with
interest all over the country.

possible, that such fair division be
made as :will best subserve the
great purpose of securing white
unity and a:non-partisan constitu-
ton.
I'd. That we are unalterablY and
irrevocably pledged to the supre-
macy of Anglo Saxon civilization
in every part and department. Of
our government to be secured by
fair and constitutional methods.
But this can only be accom-
plished by the unity of our peo-
pie.
3rd. We have unbounded faith
in the people and confidently trust
them to select delegates to the
constitutional convention TO rep
resent tho opinions with all eye
single to their fitness for the great
work that will confront them.
With p convention so chosen,
the people will be satisfied with
the constitution it will adopt.
4th. To put the objects of the
conference into practical effect
and to promote the accomplish
ment thereof, we recommend the
appointment of a State executive
committee to be composed of two
from each county, whose duty 1T
shall be forthwith to prepare and
promulgate a plan of organization
of all the democrats in the State
who are in sympathy with the OBJ
jects and purposes herein declared.
Respectfully submitted,
J. TONNES ROBERTS.
Resolutions of thanks to Chair
man Zimmerman were unani-
mously passed and The convention
adjourned.
Zimmerman will appoint a
working committee provided for
at his leisure.

What is the use IF a new party
es ablished in the interest of free
silver when both the old parties
will favor it il their platform next
year? No, it isn't a new party we
want but a stricter adher rance by
the old parties to their platforms.
1t would be especially disastrous
to the South to take up with any
such new fad as a free silver par
ty, as it would most certainly elect
a republican president in 1896, to
say nothing of both houses of
Congress, which are already re-
publican. Who knows but such a
combination would re-enact the

Dancing.

Whenever balls and dancing
parties have been the rule, relig-
ious experience has declined, re-
ligious aggressive efforts have been
paralyzed, back-sliding from the
church has increased, the people
have lost interest in benevolence-
ness. and generally the cause Of
religion has suffered. On the 9th
er hand, we have found that where
Christians were active, devoted,
and faithful. where additions were
being made to the churches, where
reformations we're in progress and
souls being saved-where, in a
word, the religious element pre-
dominated, there this amusement
could not find subsistence, but al
ways declined before such inhu-
ences. This forces upon us the
