Let it be borne in mind that these men en- lei'ed the democratic primaries in apparent good faith, knowing well that rule, the party rule is the majority and that they talked louder than anybody else about party loy- alty. Let the attitude of these then, before the state conventions had acted, be compared with their present attitude as would-be party The comparison will stand as a fair gauge arid measure what they mean by ‘party loyal- * tv’ and ‘part)* honor ’ * Newspaper readers have not for- gotten the contest in the party in- augrated by the so-called gold'dem- They were arrogant "people in their demands that the should make no declaration on the financial question until the national convention had met and made the platform. They made these demands the issue in the primary contests. “They asserted that all true dem- ocrats would be compelled to in- dorse the declarations of the na- tional convention and support the ticket nominated, and to remit the who le financial question to the rec- O o- n ized authority of the party. With this contention they entered the primaries and contested every inch of the ground, When they saw that the people would no long- er be led, clubs,'and they began to form sound money tried to win the voters over to support the money power.

Fifty purchased acres of good cotton has been from E. W. Ew¬ ing, of Lawrencevi 1 le, by a wealthy New York syndicate known as the New York Cotton Harvesting Company. York The New Company has a patent for a new cotton picking machine, with which they expect to revolutionize the: cotton growing industry of the £ *di. The cotton will be picked by the machine some time in September, after the cotton bolls are fully opened. The machine has been tried, but while its work was good, it was not entirely satisfactory. The in¬ ventor has made several very im¬ portant changes and improvements which he thinks will make it a per¬ fect pickerv The machinery for the picker will arrive at Lawrenceville next week, and with it will be the in¬ ventor and other mechanics. About thirty or Forty members of the company will come from New York in a special car to witness the field trial. Cotton picked by the machine will naturally be very trashy. There is a cleaner invented by a Gwinnett county fiian, John R. Hopkins, which is nearly perfect. The company after looking over all the machines in the market, has fi¬ nally settled cn Mr. Hopkins’ and as being the most perfect, there¬ fore decided to use his in their trials. Cupid’s Freaks.

Special Correspondence to The Times. This, Monday morning, is the coldest we have had this fall. Quarterly meeting at Sunshine last Saturday and Sunday and bas¬ ket dinner was spread far and wide. Very much to the peace and happi¬ ness of the near future of some of the young men, a rain came up be¬ fore they were exactly satisfied— good thing it did—they might have had some abdominal trouble since.
