an election in their respective armories
for a Major.'of the 2d Battalion and Major
of the 3d Battalion of that regiment.

positions were Hon. John I. Hardeman,

Columbus. The vote of the Quitman
Guards of this city, was unanimous for
those gentlemen.

Rust in Cotton.
Latest reports are to the effect
that the cotton crop in the south¬
ern part of this state, on sandy
lands, is being seriously damaged
with rust. In some localities the
crop is claimed to be ruined. News
comes from Texas also that the
cotton in some sections of that
state is very materially damaged
by the boll worm. Should either
of these reverses strike the cotton
in this section of country hurtful
results would follow.
Heavy Rainfall.
heaviest Thursday rainfall night this wc had the
in city and
vicinity that has fallen in a long
time The rain began to fall slow¬
ly about 6 o’clock p. m. and contin¬
ued with occasional heavy showers
until after midnight. Had the rain
been extensive, doubtless much
damage would have resulted. The
best data obtainable Friday morn¬
ing showed that during the six or
seven hours there was four or more
inches of rainfall.
Serious Cutting Scrape.
Trouble arose Friday morning,
between Mr. Colly Shepperd and
Mr. Ed Beasly at their home about
five miles east of this city which
resulted in the cutting of Mr.
Beasly in several places, some of
which cuts were very serious.
The parties were brothers-in-law
and there had been some ill-feeling
existing between them prior to the
difficulty. promptly called Dr. W. P. Ponder was
to administer to
the wounded man, who found upon
his person several wounds, but none
of them considered fatal.

The Finest Watermelons.
There has been brought into this
market during the season quite a
number of watermelons of fine
size, but it was left to our towns¬
man, Mr. D. J. Proctor, to produce
the largest melons that have been
grown in this section. He has
turned out melons from his patch
that raised the beam at 70 pounds,
and were of excellent flavor.
Mr. Proctor is endowed with that
spirit of emulation that prompts
him, in everything he undertakes,
to excel, whether it be merchan¬
dising, farming, gardening, grow¬
ing watermelons, or other avoca¬
tions. While not specially com¬
peting on that line, yet he comes
to the front with the largest and
finest watermelons grown in the
county, though not producing them
for market nor with a view of selb
ing the seed. Many of his friends
can testify to the sweetness, flavor crisp¬
ness and excellent of his
superlatively qualities large watermelons,
which were verified by
quite a number in attendance upon
the watermelon festival at his
splendid and hospitable home on
Thursday evening.
Nor is Mr. Proctor in anywise a
laggard as a gardener and truck
grower, as is evidenced by his
flourishing garden and an acre patch
of most excellent corn now ap¬
proaching roasting ear stage, and
peas that promise a superabun
dant crop.
Some of our farmer friends might
do well to take lessons from Mr.
Proctor on these lines. For in his
every enterprise he aims at success
and usually attains it.

Democratic Talks at Barnesville.
One of the old time democratic
rallies was had at Barnesville last
Saturday. Gens. B.
C. A. Evans and Jno.
Gordon addressed a multitude of
people. Sound and conservative
democratic doctrine was dispensed
to the hearers. Much truth and
many solid facts were presented
by the able speakers in substantia
tion of democratic policy and in ad
vocacy of democratic principles.
Many that deceptive have been and made false against state
ments
the democratic party were swept
away like chaff before the wind,
and the democratic rank and file
present were made stronger in
democratic faith and more deter
mined to maintain the supremacy
of democracy in Georgia. Let the
good work go on.
A Foot Race.
The swiftest officials are some¬
times outstripped when they get
in proximity to, and on the hot
trail of law breakers. Our sheriff
and coroner are both slim and
trimmed racers, but they were out
leaped on Thursday last by a law
breaker, after whom they had a foot
chase for some distance. The vio¬
lator of the law not only out-leaped
but out-winded both the officials
and gave them the opportunity to
see him disappear in the distance.
The officers started on the run in
speaking distance of their game,
but stopped wfth the game, both,
out of sight and out of hearing.
Wiley red foxes are not easily
bered caught. They should have remem¬ the
that they did not have
same spur to increase their speed
as did the persued who, no doubt,
in imagination saw himself peeping
through prison bars or handling a
good pick under the supervision of
a whipping boss.
Preparing For the Cotton.
But a few days remain now be¬
fore the cotton will begin to be put
upon the market, and our ware¬
housemen and cotton men are ar¬
ranging to be in readiness. The
same men that have handled the
cotton tofore, brought to this market here¬
will handle it again this sea¬
son, and this is equivolent to say¬
ing that the farmers will have trust¬
worthy men to deal with in their
cotton transactions. For cleverer,
more polite and accommodating
warehousemen are to be found no¬
where than those who conduct the
ware house business in this city.
Their business ability, coupled with
their experience, enables them to
give the planters the very best
possible advantages in handling
their cotton. Forsyth, during the
approaching season, will rank, as
heretofore, among the best cotton
markets, having facilities for the
dispatch of the cotton business in¬
ferior to none. Buyers, with long
and trained experience, will be in
the market during the season,
prices ready and prepared to pay the best
for the cotton as delivered.

FortyHJushels Per Acre.
sions In listening to occasional discus¬
touching corn crops in this
section, we learn that some of our
farmers are calculating to realize
at the harvest season forty bushels
of corn per acre from their best
lands. Of course this vast yield is
far above the average but it speaks
well for the soil of Monroe county,
and is proof that Monroe county
farmers can produce an abundant
tion, supply which of corn for home consump¬
is a great desideratum;
for the farmer, who buys neither
meat nor bread, generally prospers.
Whether or not these estimates
of the number of bushels of corn
per acre are mere guess work, we
know not. However, Uncle Tom
Marshall has discovered a rule by
which guess work on that line can
be quite done away with. He says,
to find the number of bushels per
acre, find the number of square
feet to each hill or stalk of cron, by
that divide the number of square
feet in an acre, and then divide the
result by 135 and you will have the
number of bushels of corn per acre,
far very nearly, and Uncle Tom is not
and wrong. don’t Boys apply this rule
guess at your corn.
Superior Court.
Monroe Superior court for the Septem¬
ber term convened yesterday morning at
10 o’clock with his Honor, Judge J. T.
Hunt, presiding, and Solicitor M. W.
Beck, and other officers of the court at
their post. The court was promptly or¬
ganized. The grand jury was organized
with Mr. T. J. Cheves foreman and Mr.
\V. A. Pye, secretary.
The Court’s charge was clear, plain
and specific, specially stressing the re¬
sponsibility resting upon that branch of
the court. The charge being delivered,
the court proceeded to business. No
complete calender of cases having been
arranged for good reasons, the court pro¬
ceeded with a regular call of the docket.
The indications are that there will be
little civil business before the court, after
disposing of which the criminal business
will be looked after. It is of special im¬
portance and interest to the people that
thisjbraneh of the court he disposed of.
The probabilities are that court may not
be held for two weeks.
Besides the local bar, there was in at¬
tendance upon the court yesterday the fol¬
lowing visiting attorneys: Judge A. M.
Speer, o! Madison, Cols. J. W. Preston
and Jos. H. Hall, of Macon, J. Y. Allen,
£?* , f v _ T
r. L . Maynard, of Americus, and Judge
J. S. Boynton, of Griffin.
Hon. N. E. Harris Nominated.
The democratic convention of
the 22d senatorial district met in
the court house here at 12 m. last
I Thursday to nominate a candidate
j for the state senate.
On assembling, the convention
was called to order by Col. \Y. I).
Stone, and Judge G. j. Wright, of
this city, was elected chairman, and
Col. J. Id. Blount, jr., of Bibb, sec
retary.
Col. Blount put in nomination
for the state senate, Hon. N. E.
Harris, of Bibb, supporting his
motion with appropriate remarks,
The motion was seconded in an
earnest, but brief speech by Col.
Stone, followed by Col. S. N.
Woodward, of Pike, and Mr. W. B.
Birch, of Bibb, both of whom
strongly endorsed the nomination
in well timed and appropriate re¬
marks.
Upon motion to that effect, Hon.
N. F. Harris was then unanimous¬
ly didate nominated of the as democratic the senatorial party can¬ of
the 22d senatorial district.
The following resolutions were
introduced by Col. Wm. Bronson,
of Bibb, and seconded by Col. B.
S. Willingham of this city, and
unanimously adopted :
Resolved by the democratic par¬
ty of twenty-second district in con
convention assembled, That in pre¬
senting to the district the nominee
selected to day we do hereby renew
our allegiance to the platform of
principles promulgated by the na¬
tional democracy in Chicago in
1S92.
Resolved further, That we cor¬
dially endorse the candidates se¬
lected by the democratic state con¬
vention at Atlanta on August 2d,
1894, and commend the platform
adopted by that convention to the
intelligent support of the voters of
the district.
Mr. Harris being notified by
committee of his nomination, ap¬
peared before the convention, and
being introduced by the chairman,
accepted the nomination, pledging
the utmost fidelity to the trust
committed to him, in a brief, but
plain and pertinent speech. On
state and national questions he re¬
gards the democratic platform as
his chart and compass.
Mr. Harris’ ability, coupled with
his legislative experience, is evi¬
dence to the people of this district
that they will have in him an able
representative The in the state senate.
convention selected the fol¬
lowing gentlemen to constitute the
executive committee of this sena¬
torial district for the next two
years : S. N. Woodward, of Barnes¬
ville, J. T. Baker, of Zebulon, O.
H. B. Bloodwooth, of Forsyth, Dr.

had, and the members dispersed.

WHO’S SHELLABERGER?
Monroe’s Taxable Property In¬
creases.
While the tax returns for the state
show a decrease in the value of the
taxable property for this year as
compared with last year, of over
twenty-five millions, our county
does not share in that decrease.
On the contrary, the tax returns
for this county, this year, show a
gain in the value of taxable prop¬
erty over the returns for last year,
of $59,805. Only two counties in
the state show a greater increase
in the value of taxable property for
this year than Monroe.
This increase in the taxable
property of the county in the face
of the fact that there has been a
decline in the value of all property
as compared with the values in the
spring of 1893, is at least one evi¬
dence tending to show that the
people of this county are those not grow¬
ing poorer every day as with
pessimistic views would have the
world believe. We have claimed
and still claim that the people of
this county, as a whole, are in a
better condition financially than
they have been in many years and
this result of the tax returns is a
substantiation of that claim. This
showing upon the state tax digest,
when compared with that from a
vast majority of the counties of
the state, is an endorsement of the
intelligence of the people of Mon¬
roe. It also points to the fact that
our county people, and especially
the farming population, who are
the basic foundation of prosperity,
have changed their methods so as
to produce better results. With
such an intelligent, progressive citi¬
zenship, Monroe can safely growth, count
on gradual, substantial
which is far better than boom-rang
or mushroom growth that is liable
to be uprooted by the first blast of
adversity.

that necessary
our people should lay down all de¬
nominational differences and join in one
common effort to build up the school in¬
terest of the community. Looking at
the question in this way, we feel it is
best for our schools to be united, and
proposed to the trustees of Monroe Fe¬
male College, that if they would throw
open tlieir doors and receive our boys we
would sell llilliard Institute and apply
the proceeds to the furnishing and equip¬
ping their school for first class work.
This proposition was declined, and we
determined to open a mixed school at
llilliard Institute. But being unable to
make certain arrangements for the pres¬
ent, and owing to the very short time
till school will open, wo decided it would
be better to defer this action for another
year. the public In doing this we would not have
to feci that wc have abandoned
our idea of a mixed school. Such is not
the case. We are only proparing O lu¬
selves to make the movement ll success
when wc do undertake it; and the fall
term of our school in 1805 will open for
have boys and girls. By that time we hope to
a more desirable and better equipped
building than we now have.
The liberality of our offer is a guaran¬
tee to the public that wo make no fight
on the college. On the contrary we
would be glad to see it succeed; and at
our last meeting wo passed a resolution
by rising vote, that for the ensuing year
we would pledge our hearty support to
the same.
But while we do not light the college,
we feel that we owe it to the town to re¬
spect the sentiment that demands better
schools than we now have, and wc are to
