for the Senate and defeating him are alto
gether different affairs.
A rumor has been telegraphed from
R aehirjgton that the alliance peoole in

Sparta Ishmaelite: When Clt’zen Nor
wood of New York, Washington city and
Georgia was a member of the Fiftieth c in

Sparta Ishmaelite: Georgia democrats
will not goto Mocuae’s Southern Alliance
Farmer for instruction in political wisdom.
Many county alliances in the state are de

Sparta Ishmaelite: If Torn Norwood is
in favor of the free coinage of sllvor he has

that will commend him to the uliianoe sup

Boston World: Gov. Gordon proved him
self to be a full grown man In the positive
stand taken by him against tho sub-treasury

wishes by electing such a demagogue as
Livingston in his stead.
Bparts Ishmaelite: Livingiton is begin

out that he will attend the democratic cau
cuses and abide their decisions If he speaks
the truth in that, the i he boa deceived his

will never receive the indorsement Of a
democratic caucus.
Eatonton Messenger: It matters but
little whether Norwood or Livingston op
poses Gen. Gordon. For that matter, both
might oppose him, and still he would be
elected. He is inuoh more the farmers’
friend than either Livingston or Norwood,
and he would do more for that great close.
He is a man of statesmanship, ability, in

and Georgia Can’t afford to lay him aside.

licly announcing himself a candidate for

and further stating that after giving
notice of the times and places be
would address the people of Dodgo county
upon the pulitloal questions of th day. We
regret very much that Col. Hall has taken
toiz step, and think we voice the sentiment
of tbo majority of hia very best friends, aud
we are sure we do the public generally,
wheu we say that it would be a blot upon
the good name of the people of Dodgo should
they allow Col. Hail to represent them In
the general assembly at the present time
and under the existing circumstances. It
certainly would not reflect well upon us.

A Reporter's Figures.
From flit Detroit Free Dross.
Two gentlemen were talking together in
the library. The eonvnatiou turned to
books and writing.
“Yes,” said one, “Dickens led a long and
busy Ufa He wrote several dozen vol
umes.”
“ A’hat a task even to copy them with a
pen!” exelaimcJ the other. “Yes, indeed,
the mechanical labor of a novelist's lifetime
is something beyond the ordinary concep
tion.”
"I road somewhere," replied tbe first
speaker, “that it would take a clever pen
man something like seventeen years even to
copy Scott’s works.”
“Quite ilkeW.”
At this stag# a newspaper reporter entered
uppu the scone. He surprised the group as
follows:
“Gentlemen," bo said, with his modest,
downcast look of the old-time reporter,
“you will pardon me for speaking of a
matter that may appear personal. But
speaking on behalf of my brothers of the
press, I will say that, as a class, wo prob
ably write more in one year than a suocm
ful novelist does in tweuty years. '
“Impossible 1"
“Let ine prove it to you. Tske the or
dinary library edition of Dickens, Thack
eray or Scott, and if you average up tho
amount of matter, page by page, you will
find that a fair estimate would beiiOO words
per page. Now you will admit that a 800
page novel is above the ave ago in length.
Admitting,, however, for the'sake of illus
tration, wap this is a fair general estimate
for tha-. authors named, we conclude thst
9C,000 words wouki cover a large-sizs and
novaL To write such a uovel in a year is
considered a profound labor. No doub ,
too, suoh is the case. Now, compare thi i
with the doily irorfc of tho reporter—not
for quality, if but quantity.
“A good average newspaper column rep
resents about 1,390 words. A fair, average
day’s work for a reporter would be any
wnere from one to three columns. To be
on tbo safe side, however, lot us use tho
minor estimate. One column per day for a
week would be 10,500 words; for a month,
49,000 words; for a year, 504,000 words,
equivalent, gentlemen, from the mechanical
standpoint, remember, to nearly six 300-
page novels.
‘'Wonderful!" said one.
“Astonishing!” said the second.
"Not at all. Now then, there are jour
nalists in Detroit that, have been in the
harness from twenty to forty years. If you
are not afraid I will stagger you, I will go
go ahead with the figures.”
“Go on," both exclaimed in a breath.
“Very well, then,” added the deadly
statistician. “At this very fair and low
average your busy Journalist would write in
ten years 5,040,000 words; in tweuty years,
10,080,000 words; in thirty years, 15,181,090
words, and In forty yeArs ”
“Save the mark I”
“ in forty years, just exaotly 20,160,-
000 words, or aa amount of matter equiva
lent 334 300-page novels, the work of any
fifty ordinary novelists rolled together. Are
Siu ready to acknowledge, gentlemen, that

can save the oouutry in tUu time of dan
