The list riot school will close with interest mg j ublic exercises, including the reading of essays, naisic and an address by some distinguished orator. The farming interests of Lee county are said to he in a bad way. Owing to bad seed and a back ward spring, stands of cotton arc insufficient. Rain *s needed, although a light shower fell Friday. OlHce-seeking is a business extensively engaged in dow. Tiie crop of candidates has come up too thick, and must be chopped to a stand when the convention meets on the‘2d of June.* There are four candidates for probate judge, and most at all of them met at a picnic at Macon’s mill, in the western part of the county last Saturday, and several stump speeches were made. Tire senti ment of this beat is strongly in favor of Hon. T. L. Frazer, the present incumbent, who, having lived here many years, is well known and implicitly trusted. There was a slight disturbance in town yester day afternoon between cadets and negroes, in which one of the latter received a blow cn llie head which fetched the blood. The argument concerned rights to the sidewalk. The matter will be investigated by the town authorities. The various Sunday schools will unite in a pic- uic next Saturday. There are about two hundred and fifty pupils in all. They will assemble in a beautiful grove ou the outskirts of town, where various innocent amusements and bouutiftii re past will be provided for them. Miss Primrose looks forward to the event with extravagant ex pectations. Many distinguished persons, interested In edu cational matters, come to Auburn to witness the workings of our technical school, and all seem delighted with the new education which trains both mind and hand. Our school is far in ad vance of any other of the kind in the south. Prof. J. S. Newman gave a strawberry supper to I lie students of agriculture last Saturday eve ning. Several bushels of the delicious fruit was set before the numerous guests, and a large quantity was left after the feast. Our Methodist friends are renovating their house of worship. The side galleries have been removed, and a great deal of work is to be done both ou the interior and the exterior of the building, including painting, frescoing and in closing with a fence. The basement, which by reason of being out of repair, had fallen into ‘‘innocuous desuetude,’’ will he put in good or der for Sunday school purposes. The Episcopalians have raised nearly a thous and dollars to build a chapel, and will begin work soon. The Presbyterians have united with the church at Opelika in a call to Rev. C. A. Baker to the pastorate. As the Auburn church is small it will be unable to have service ol'tener than once a month. Rev. G. R. Foster, of Tuskegec, has been supplying them during the last six months, a, id it is earnestly desired to retain him and have Mr. Baker a >,). so that service will be he'd in the church ■ oi)n iv<! u ii h t he assc i Hu bad a Lnndutfe ovo llunr.cl Lim.h.pw stored his cruT-.i adjustcil il'i i\\ i a month, young m*. of Pi 'by i port a nt field, erhwi parent.;; :lp from out »Ii cf h: tto/i belie, is in - iry wmk, ’.von! ch. ■ P.

He st aw ay by the side of his ch. bandage over his eye and rubbed" while waiting. Presently the attendant brought him an arm till of nooks that seemed to he medical Wurks. The cripple was soon pouring over these with tlu- deepest interest. “That’s one of them,” said the reporter's companion. “I see,” replied the reporter. “So de voted to books that he climbs up the capitol steps and comes here to read, not withstanding his terribly afflicted frame.” “Well, its not exactly that,” replied the habitue. It’s' his affliction that brings him here, and it’s his affliction that he comes. You see he is, as 1 said, one of them. There are enough more. They come to read up their own cases. Those books before him treat of blindness, lameness and rheumatism. He is one of the best informed men on those subjects in the city. The more he knows about the ail ments the worse becomes his affliction, and he will probably add some new ones before he gets through with that pile of books. When he started in here he had .something the matter with one of his eyes, and he came to read up on blindness. ' Bv careful study he • has spread ailments aii over himself, and there is no point in his bodv that ain’t in torture. He luid been reading up bis own case, and has improved upon it. That’s about the way with all bf them. Some of them are ac tually suffering from some trouble for which they are seeking a remedy. Others are unconsciously looking for troubles to have. Men who have some chronic ail ment, for which doctors have been unable to give them any relief, go to the library and read all the works they can find that may, in any way, apply to their case. Some of them become experts in particu lar branches of medicine. They devote their whole lives to it, and never seem to think or speak of anything else. Some, like this man, discover that they are in possession of a great variety of* ailments, and their researches into medicine become very extensive, though somewhat desultory. Some get cured of one complaint when they fall into possession of another, but others retain all the old ones and continue to nurse and train them very carefully while adding new ones constantly. But generally they are devoted to one particular thing, ana they pursue that assiduously. They are one oi the peculiar classes of readers.” You Mu) <G-f the Glimnle l.uter.

Some of the ; have adopted t he plan of primacy el.-cHom. and others have made tneir selections of delegates through the* means of mass meet ings. I believe i lie people of the several counties are fully capable of deterrjining for themselves which plan is best adapted to their con venience and the proper ascertainment of the popular preferences. Whenever they choose to resort to a primary election their action will meet with my full approval. Wherever, on the contrary, they decide to meet together in open mass meeting I shall acquiesce in their action. I believe that the democratic toters of the several counties can determine better than the ex ecutive committee, or perhaps better than you or myself, the mode best suited to the situation <)f their several communities. The only office of the executive commit tee is to supply the need of a head to the organization. With that accomplished. 1 favor the largest liberty of action to the people and the smallest constraint or dic tation by either the committees or the candidates, lam opposed to centralized power of all kinds, whether it is found in the private organization of individuals for their own personal political ends or in the committees necessary to party machinery. As those who arc known to be your politi cal friends have in the past largely protiled by the use of the modes of procedure which have heretofore been pursued, it is to be presumed that you will not condemn tlie same as having in those instances failed to ascertain honestly and fully "the will of the democratic people of Georgia I have never fearc d a full expression of Un popular will. I have no fear of it now. I shall be satisfted that such popular will shall lii.d its expression in the manner in which the people of each county shall determine for themselves. You will pardon me for saying that the time has come when party policy in this state should he shaped without reference to the wishes of candidates. Conventions and elections are held presumably in the interest of the people rather than in tin- interest of candidates, and the wishes of the former should never be subservient to the interests of the latter. The executive committee might resent as impertinent any attempt on our part to dictate its line of action and the people would certainly repudiate any effort of the committee to control or restrict t iioir mode of procedure in the appointment of dele gates. So far as T am personally concerned I will be content to abide by cither primary elections or the act ion of mass meetings in the several counties, according to the best judgment and preference of the people thereof.
