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

oi an cdu man w.
ance of a crutch,
une eye and a roll of t *
one of his hands. 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.”

The question of trousers or no trousers is

D. A. Bradford, wholesale paper dealer
oi* Chattanooga, Tunn.. writes that he was
seriously afflicted with a severe cold that
settled on his lungs; had tried many reme
dies without benefit. Being induced to try
Dr. King's New Discovery for Consump
tion, did so and was entirely cured by use
of a few bottles. Since which time he has
used it in his family for Jill coughs and
colds wit h best results. This is the expe
rience of thousands whose lives have been
saved by this Wonderful Discovery.

lie uumiHT in which the; -normi
choose their delegates. 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. Very respectfully yours,
A. O. Bacon.
