moving small buildings. Gripping tele-
phone, telegraph and light service.

between this city and Wauseeka. Ten
miles east of the city the hail totally
destroyed the crops in strip half a
mile wide and u miles in length. At
Wauseeka the hail broke every window
light in the village facing to the west
or north. At Lynxville a large stock
barn was struck by lightning and de-
stroyed. Considerable stock was
drowned, but no fatalities to human
life have as yet been reported. The

ties and over the townships of Barne-
weld and Blue Mounds last evening.

tremely sultry day, and through a
tract eight miles long and one to two
miles wide the destruction of property
was complete.

directed against the smoking of cigar
cites. Bills of the same sort have been

are so sweeping and so harsh that the
offenders are taking their cases to the
higher courts. with tho hope Of having
them declared unconstitutional.

4 REJoINDER FULL OF WISDOM.

When Lord Byron woke up one
and found himself famous
he had merely duplicated what has
been the experience of many other
and less gifted men, asserts the
Columbia State. Such a sudden
rise to public attention has been t
the fortunate experience OF men
time out of mind. We shall here
after esteem very lightly our pro !
phetic powers if such quick but
enduring fame has not come upon
one, the Hon. Andrew 2. Rives of
Springfield, Georgia. 1t all came
about in this way. A friend wrote
to the Hon. Rives. Said he:
"Dear Mr.. Rives: Do you think
it advisable for J. Pope Brown to
run for governor of Georgia next
time? Please answer.
'FYours truly,
EW. d. Hammock"
The reply, the historic, the fame
winning reply, of the Hon. Rives
may be seen in the Macon Tele
graph. He said:
"My Dear William: [ am not in
terested in politics this year. Do
you think 800 pounds of compost
under cotton at planting time, and
300 pounds of complete guano at
laying by time, Will make bale to
the acre? Please answer.
"'YoUrs, A. p. Rives."
Was there ever anything more to
the point? asks the State. Was
there ever anything more in keep
ing with the eternal fitness of the
spring planting season?
1.-THE Hon. Rives is not interested
in politics; he is, however, deeply
concerned in compost. Whether
J. Pope Brown shall run for gov
ernorOf Georgia is question which
brings but small concern to the
mind of the Hon. Rives. But
whether 300 pounds of compost at
planting time together with 800
pounds of complete guano at clay
ing by time will make a bale of
cotton to the acre is momentOus
| problem over which the practical
and honorable Mr.. Rives lies awake
nights.
'"The Hon. Rives' frame of mind
is symptOmatic of a more general
feeling which pervades public SEN
timent at this season. The hee- haw
of the mule and the gee haw of the
plough hand are sounds that arouse
a keener interest than the fine pero.
ratiOns of the lOudest politician in
the land. The people want less
: politics and more compost. And
2 it is very well that it is So"
We are willing to confess our
selves false prophets if the answer
of the Hon. Rives to the gentleman
} soliciting advice about the candi
dacy of j. Pope Brown does no
survive as one of the enduring
, documents of American politica
literature.
