The Augusta Herald is authority for the statement that Charley Ross has just bobbed up in Kansas, but he couldn't raise much of a loan on his name. nm * - E. G. Dun & Co's, weekly review of trade states that $$?\fjf?me of pay ments through' the. clearing houses of the com' y during the month, of July was 47^> per jcent. larger than last year and 39.6 per- cent, larger than 1892, the 't bestofallpr^ouBy^ftrs?1 Interruption of busmess^y labor troubles of all sorts has been less than in any other July for years., The. Mures in the 1 United- States last > week were 131, In the dea& of ?Hon,'? William Yates Atkinson, ex-Governor - Georgia, which occurred at his home in Newman on the 8th inst* .after an illness of a few day? Wm typhoid dysentery, Georgia loses ??ne of her purest and best citizens, and the entire South one of its most devoted statesmen. He was a self-made man, and at the age of 30 became Governor of the State of Georgia, and served two terms. He had filled other positions of honor and trust before being elevated to the Executive chair. He has been cut down in the very zenith of >his manhood and usefulness, but his name will ever be honored on the pages of Georgia history._ _ There must be some .truth in the statements made time and time again that at one period of the fighting at . Manila there came very near being a clash between 0 crmany and the United States, and that even now the rela tions of these two powers are not very cordial. First came the dispatches from Manila which were covered up as far as possible by the government at Washington. Then came the Coghlan incident. Now comes the statement of Admiral Dewey that our next war will be with Germany, and although many say that Dewey did not utter the words attributed to him, there are many who believe he did. Where there is so much smoke there must be a little fire. We are in the midst of a season of parching heat and withering drought. The rains are coming in spots and localities it seems, but in many sections come reports that > crops will be cut very short if rain docs not come soon. While all should bow in humble sub mission and the faithful know that somehow it is for the best, there is un avoidably a feeling of depression at the certain privations that must ensue. It means cherished hopes blighted and fond expectations unrealized. Lots that have been hard will doubtless be harder, and many imaginary evils may become only too real, yet ours is a land ia which real calamities are few and extreme suffering for want of subsist ence is rarely met. The cry of dis tress is quickly heard, and there is charity to meet every case of real des titution. If it is ever tardy it is from impositions upon it and not from a lack of broad philanthropy. Thc Dover (Ky.) Xet > oi the 10th inst, says: "It is with pleasure we as sure our readers that Black Diamond railroad affairs are in splendid condi tion and the friends of the enterprise are more hopeful and sanguine of speedy success than at any previous period. In fact matters are in such shape that at present it seems that no possible contingency can arise to pre vent the early construction of the sys tem. The work to be done on this side, as mapped out by thc English capital ists, after the expert engineer made his report, is being rapidly closed up at every point. The survey in South Car olinajwfll be completed in a few days, that in North Carolina and Georgia, only about twenty miles in the latter State, will bo pushed as rapidly as three field corps can do the work. By the time this is done all other matters pertaining to the work wiU have been accomplished and everything will then bein readiness to begin actual con struction. This is a plain and truthful status of the enterprise, made for the benefit of the friends of thc cau.se and not for the purpose of influencing its enemies." There is much being published now in the press of nearly e very section of the United States in reference to thc subject of lynch law. Every good cit izen regrets thc necessity of such oc currences, and many suggestions are being made as to a remedy to cure the evil. So long as tho infamous crime of outrage is committed upon thc women of the country, just so long will thc lynching of tho perpetrators continue. This fact may oswell be understood first as last. The white men of the country aro not going to permit these crimes to go unpunished, and the sooner colored men understand this the better it will be for them. There is no use in mincing words about ic. Human nature is the same ail over thc land, and wherever these outrages are committed, no matter whether they be in the north or the south, or the east or the west, the lynching of the perpetra tors is certain to follow. Tie idea of allowing the law to take its course in suchf cases is simply preposterous. That a woman should be dragged through the filth of such a trial simply because some brute has already wronged her worse than death is inconceivable. Laws in such cases are but ropes of sand that will never bind brave arms nor chain brave hearts. No flames are too fiery to cho?e thc life from the perpetrators of sucn crimes, no tree is too tall to lift the polluted carcass from contaminating mother earth. The peo ple have found their own punishment and will always mete it out through all time in such cases, and no change of law nor of technicality can alter their purpose ono jot or one whit. Holland's Store Items. The not, dry weather is proving very .detrimental to crops. It is generally conceded that unless we have a rain very soon the crop will not exceed one half. The drought has not been so long, but the extreme heat and dry wind have done their work. A meeting is in progrese this week' at Shiloh. The pastor is assisted by Rev. J. R. Earle. The preaching is forcible, logical and faithful and the congregations very good. On the 8th inst, we visited Seneca, tlie occasion being the convcniency of the Beaverdam Association. The at tendance was veiy good and the meet ing a harmonious one. While there we were the guest of Mr. Wm. Lunney, who, with his excellent wife, left noth ing undone to make us enjoy it. We also had the good fortune to meet several old acquaintances. Among th'5m were Dr. Hopkins and family, Mr. Hayne Lowery and family, W. A. HoUand, W. S. Hunter, J. R. Earle, Jr., and Ches. D. Giles. Our visit to Sen eca will be a green spot in our memory as long as life lasts. A colored man, George Geer, was drowned in the Savannah on the 1st inst. He with about 20 other negroes Jiad just finished working the road to Hardscrabble when they all went to the river to go in washing. The water was from 8 to 15 feet deep, and he, not being a good swimmer, went to the bottom. Mr. Joe Furgerson was near with his boat, and fished him out in about 15 minutes but life was extinct. Mrs. W. M. Strickland, who has been sick for several months, is better. We are glad to note she is able to attend church this week. Our neighborhood generally is in good health. The campmeeting at Sinai, we hear, was well attended on last Saturday and Sunday and we understand the beha vior was only seconded by the wildest orgies of thc rankest hottentots. By way of variety, with other things, they had the "flying jennie" on hand. We need some missionaries of the right kind right here in our own country, or some wholesome laws made and then enforced, we are not certain which. It is a certain fact that something is needed. BDRKK. Friendship Bots. Some time has elapsed, Mr. Editor, since we have seen any news from our section, therefore we have determined to give you a few dots.

Shirley visited relatives at Grove Saturday and Sun day. The protracted meeting closed at Barkers Creek Sunday, after a week's duration. The pastor, Rev. W. B. Hawkins, was ?ably assisted by his brother, Rev. R. D. Hawkins, who did all of tho preaching, which was very instructive and interesting. Large crowds were* at every service, and much good was manifested. There were twenty converts, who will be baptized on thc first Sunday in Sep tember. The fodder fields are ripening fast, and cotton is beginning to open, and soon the merry farmer boy will bc foundlaboring in the fields again, after a monthVvacation.

Listen while we talk, and then take your turn at speech making : We have again outgrown our panta loon breeches, (as a Dutchman once said,) and we must make dem some more big. Or to make it clear to you, the house in which we do business has become too small to conveniently accommodate our large and growing trade. Hence we have secured a larger and more desirable house on Granite Row. Now, we have not for gotten what a job lt was four years ago to lug about nine thousand dollars of stuff np here from our little old place, though the back doors were almost touch ing. And how much more of a job will it be now for us to move over twenty-five thousand of Goods clear across the Pub lic Square. We don't want to do it, and we ain't agoin' to do it. No, we are just going to make a grab-pile of it, and let our friends and enemies come in and carry it oft" for na. To give you an idea of our intentions in the matter-listen : For every ten cents traded with us we will give you a help-move ticket. If you trade 50c. worth you get five help-move tickets, and so on. Tbese tickets entitle the holders to free grabs at the pile, or lc in trade for each ticket held. Nor is that all. Every little boy or girl who comes in and buys 25c. worth of Goods, or is with an older person who buys 25c. worth or more, we will give free one Hickory or Boxwood Top or a tiny Doll Baby-either black or white. Nor is thia all. To the person trading the greatest number of bills, amounting to over one dollar, between now and August 28tb, we will give first choice of two German Yokell Clocks-greatly prized as an or nament souvenir. To the person trading the most bills, amounting torver 25c, we will give another Clock like above. Only one bill can be recorded in one day. But, Minor, says some one, you can't afford it. Well, we admit as much, but we do it, anyhow. Now listen for prices to frighten competition. Ob, yes, they'll have to use a camphor bottle to keep np spirits now : 3 s O 'S . 3"g I 12e. and 15c.
