With tin po. sent lights before us, it looks as if the present gubernatorial campaign is to be trie mos; c.unpi'vHted Ge >rgia has known for years. I I- * bitter fight between Gordou and Bacon has led thoughtful and prudent men to fear that it would remit in harm to the party, nud it seems that these fear* are about to be realized.

A Knight of Labor who ought to know what he is talking about told me that recently the princi pal assemblies of tins order ill this state have been i i corre*-p(oidence with each other, and that they have about definitely agreed to support Keltou. He is to be the candidate of the laboring people. This Knight also soys that the colored assemblies have agreed to support him. The Knights say that Gordon is a convict man, and they will im t vote for him. They have nothing particularly against Bacon, nor do they particularly admire him, and consequently they have settled upon Felton.’' “Will Felton go before the convention?" “Oh, I guess not. His supporters do not con template such a course, as they do not think they would have a fair showing before a eonveu- j tion. This Knight says that Felton would not have been a candidate of his own accord, but that the laboring men are bringing him to the front a*, their champion. I don’t think there is any dourt that he will be in the race. It looks that We give the above for what it is worth, but will add that ve think the gentleman is in a position to know what he is talking about, and is not simply seeking to be the author of a political | sensation. GiuAiLs niK i wdiirn:. A Prominent Citizen Ti lls of His Ponnlaiity in | Burris Count?—lie Will Get Tulbut. Monday we met a prosperous and influential : farmer who resides in the western pan of Hams county. When asked what he thought of the candidacy of Hon. Thomas W. Grimes for con- I gress, he replied: “It suits me first-rate, and, so far as I can learn, suits all my neighbors. ’’ “Youare in the Mountain Hill district?’’ j “Yes: and every man that I have heard speak 1 of it in the district will support Tom Grimes. It I lias been rumored in my neighborhood that Har. ris is talking about running again, but he can’t , do anything in Harris county with Grimes in the j field.” j “Then Grimes must he strong in other parts of * the county?” i “He is. I do not believe there is a man in the ! district that can beat him in the county. I have : heard the people around Hamilton and Whites- ville and other parts of the county talking about the congressional race, and Grimes is the favorite among them all. In fact nearly everybody wants i to see Tom Grimes go to congress, though they don't want to lose him as a solicitor.” An Enquirkr-Sun reporter met a prominent and wed posted citizen of Talbot county and asked him: “What are Grimes’ chances in Talbot county ?" “Why, I think he will certainly get the delega tion. I *ee no reason for him to be alarmed about Talbot. The people of the county admire him for his brillkuit intellect and well-rounded character, and they see in him the making of a congressman of whom not only this district, but the entire state will be proud. I think you can safely put Talbot down for Tom Grimes. ALABAMA POLITICS.

"The desire expressed in the Enquirer-Sun on Sunday by a young Indy clerk, that the stores would close earlier, struck me with force,” said Mr. J. B. Allen yesterday to an Enquirer-Sun reporter. “I am always tired myself when night comes, and I know the young ladies who stand behind the counters all day must be. You can say that on next Sunday morning Allen Brothers i will advertise to close after that date at 6210 ] o’clock. We are going to close at that time, too, | whether anybody else does or not." It is to be hoped that other merchants will fol- w the lead of Allen Brothers. Psi*trj Without Butter, * The Amerean pit* lias been ^objected to j more unjust abuse from foreign writers thAh any other of our distinctive products, if we except the recent tirade against th I American hog. And yet we cannot s y that it has been altogether undeserved, Lor i cause of tho villainous compound, thick, j hard and heavy, that is too often made to do duty its a “crust,” and which by ! courtesy is called “pastry.” Light, tender, | flaky and digestible nie-crust and all kinds of pastry can be made most readily by the use of Royal Baking Powder without any butter, or with half the usual portion, if preferred, or with a small ouantitv of lard or other shortening as desired. Pie-crust thus made is much more wholesome and digestible, besides being more economical and easier prepared. In addition to sav ing all tin* butter if desired, one-tliird the hour is also dispensed with, as the crust is rolled that much thinner, the leavening (|iuiliths of tin* Royal Baking Powder swcilii.g it to the requisite thickness. If drippings or larti be used the Royal Raking Powder removes every unpleasant taste. , rendering the crust as short, sweet ana pleasant .'is if made from the finest butter.* Those who know the appetizing qualities of the genuine home-made American pie will rejoice that by tin* aid of Royal Bak ing Powder in the pastry it can be made quite as digestible as it is delicious.
