COVINGTON, GA., NOV. 5, 1889.
STATE ELECTIONS.
To-day, the 4 h of November, is
election day in a large number of
slates.
Governors and other state officers
are to bo elected in the states of
Massachusetts, Now Jersey,! enn
sylvania, Virginia, New York, Ohio,
Nebraska, Iowa, Maryland and
Mississippi.
In somo of laese states legislators
are to be chosen.
VV ith u°, the greatost interest cen¬
ters in the states of Virginia, New
York, Now Jersey, and Maryland.
in Virginia, the fight is a deeper
ate one. Mahone is fighting for his
political life, and the democrats are
making it lively for him. Should
Mahone succeed, which we do not
, think at all probable, the solid south
would bo broken, and tho chances
for carrying the state for the repub¬
licans in tho presidential election,
would be greatly increased.
If the democrats carry New Yoik.
New Jersey, Nebraska and Ohio,
their chances for carrying these
states in 1892, will he greatly cn
hanced.
As to Massachusetts, Pennsylva¬
nia and Iowa, they are strictly re¬
publican states, and will no doubt
vote for their first love.
We do not feel any great interest
in the result in any of tho states
that vote to day, however, except
in Virginia, There is somo danger
of Mahone’s success in that state,
but not much probability of it.
While we do not foar the result in
the Old Dominion, we are obliged to
feel some anxiety about it.
To-morrow’s dispatches will
probably settle tho matter in all tbo
states, and we behove tbo demo¬
crats will “hold their own” in all of
them.
The Sugar Trust Melting.
Macon News, t r
Reports are current thpt the sit
gar trust is perilously near a col¬
lapse, and that sagacious holders of
the stock aro getting rid ofit. There
is probably somo truth in tho re¬
ports. Whon tho great coppor com¬
bine, the strongest in tho world,
tumbled all to pieces, it was urged
in these columns that similar organ
izations must logically sharo tho
same fato, and none is more likely to
do it than the combination to control
the sugar market. Tho time must
inevitably come in tho history of
such ventures when disaster will
result from tho purchase ot any
more costly properties, and whon
those already owned and idle are
too great a burden for tho syndicate
to carry and at tho same time pay
dividends. Tho power of such an
organization to advance the price
of the article dealt in is limited not
only by the necessities, but by the
patienco, of tho public. Nono are
morq fully aware of this than the
promoters of the trust.
Bradstreet’s reports show that
the iailures for the first nine months
of 1889 are 14 per cent, over 1888,
all of wh ch has occurred under the
tariff administration of tho good and
pious Mr. Harrison, who, only a
short time ago, was want to tell how
business would hum if the people
would only allow him an opportuni¬
ty to warm the presidential chair.
— ------ ---f
Stanley, Emin Bey and Capt.
Wiseman are approaching the coast,
slaughtering the natives en route.
If these men had lived in tho six¬
teenth century they would be
known as bloody buccaneers. As it
is, they are feted by learned socioties,
rewarded by princes and lauded in
print as civilizers of lire Dark Con
tinen’.
According to the Sun, the indica¬
tions point at present to a total vote
of 225,000 in New York city this
year. The increase in tho number
of election districts from 856 to
1,019 will obviate all possibility of a
recurrence of the difficulty which
arose last November, when as many
as 1,000 voters were registered in a
single polling place up town, and
600 or 700 in an election district
was not unusual. Besides the fact
tnat tne of _
contest Ibis \*©ar win
v
Certainly . . i__ cot * draw , out 80 iar^e ° n
vote as was the case when , a presi
dent, governor and mayor were to
be elected on the same day, all of
these districts have been divided,
and even subdivided, so that there
is not likely to be more than 300
voters m any one election district i
this year. The highest total regia
tered in one polling place last No. j
vewbor was 1 , 017 .
An Atlanta Catechism.
Brunswick News.
Charlie Matthews, of Atlanta, was
once a Macon man. He told a re¬
porter, a few days ago, that be was
induced to locate in Atlanta by the
following catechism, which was ex
hibited to hitn by an Atlanta insur¬
ance agent:
“Who made the world?”
“An Atlanta man.”
(< Why did he mako it?”
For tho genera] benefit and profit
of Atlanta.
* I When did he make it?”
At a public meeting held in the
basement of the Fulton count}’court
house.”
(< Who presided over tho meeting:
Henry W. Grady.”
Where did Noah’s ark land?”
On tho sido of the Kimball
house.”
‘'What instruments did the inmates
of the ark bear when they marched
out after landing?”
‘‘Horns, which they and their do*
sccndents have been tooting ever
since.”
“Was Moses evor in Atlantu?”
“Frequently; but ho didn’t com¬
mit any of tho mistakes there charg¬
ed against him by Ingersoll.”
“Who was the wisest man?”
“A native of Atlanta, lie is now
a member of tho General Assembly.’’
ti Who was the strongest man?”
(< E C. Brufiby, who slopped a pis¬
tol ball with his little finger,”
“Where was the garden of Eden?”
“On tbo sido of Ponce do Loon
Park.”
“If you were in a far country and
wanted to send a letter to the Presi
dentofthc United Staton, how would
you direct it?”
“To Ben Harrison, via Atlanta. * i
i ( Where do all good Atlantians go
when they die?”
“To Grant’s Park, with free tick¬
ets to the Gress Zoo.”
For tho purpose of shaming the
rich men ofNew York into putting
up money for the big fair, tho World
published a list of them, with esti¬
mates of their wealth. The scheme
did not succeed, but the publication
is very interesting reading. It shows
that there are 125 porso IH in New
York city with an annual income of
§240,000, equal to 5 per cent, on
§5,000,000. Moro than 300 businc-s
firms are rated by tby commercial
agencies at §1,000,000, and it is nat¬
ural to suppose that there aro many
more individuals worth as much.
Painful Boils.
About threo years ago 1 was trou¬
bled with poison in my blood, very
irritating and painful boils breaking
out all over my body. For two
years I suffered with them trying
all sorts of remedies, and doctor's
prescriptions without avail. Becom¬
ing disgusted with doctors, and
medicines I had used up to this time,
[ concluded to try S. S. S. and the
result was far beyond my expecta¬
tions. A few boules left me in bet.
ter health than 1 had boon since
childhood. I consider S. S. S. the
only medicine that will thoroughly
purify poisoned blood.

Harrison, Ga., under date of Sep¬
tember 22, 1889. Swift’s Specific (S.

family with tho best and happiest
results. A half dozen bottles entire¬
