A Triangular Fight.
The Atlanta eorreaponilcnt of the
Macon Telegraph, say* :
Mr. Norllicn declared without re
serve that he was a candidate. Mr.
duBignon did not fancy such a long
campaign and would not absolutely
commit himself, lmt a host of strong
friends arc quite positive about it and
ipsist that he is not. only in the. race,
but will win it. And lastly. Mr.
Livingston tells the 'J elcgraph that
he is in the hands ot his Inends the
alliance—and is perfectly willing to
make the sacrifice if he should he
called out. The candidacy of Messrs.
Northen and Livingston has occa
sioned much gossip here, and mainly
as to wlmt the alliance is going to do
about it. Many of the alliance favor
Livingston, hut many others are
warm supporters of Northen. i he
alliance clearly cannot elect both, hut
it looks now as though they mean to
try the experiment.

In a recent interview, Secretary of
Agriculture Rusk said, in speaking of
Southern farmers: “I can’t under
stand how it is that farming in Vir
ginia is not more profitable, and that
farm land is not more valuable. The
land is good, the markets are near,
the climate is excellent for crops ; the
land ought to he worth SlOO an acre
ill places where it is worth only 810.
I don’t understand it, and I’m going
to find out why it is.”
And the same remarks will apply,
with equal force, to Georgia.
Items From the Cairo Record :
It is estimated that 4000 bids, of

Mr. J. M. Blackshear, one of the
best farmers in the country, is deliv

contract of 300 bus.
Mr. Blackshear made oil of 11 acres
of ground, 1,500 bus. of pear. At
the low price of 40c per bus. the
amount would he 8600,00. And yet
there are home skeptics who say
that pears don’t pay.
Column nkiitl’il.
Four Arguments Why Cotton Bagging
Should be Used.
Why cotton bagging should he
used.
1st. It is one step towards breaking
up the bagging trust, and the people,
if successful in their efiort to protect
themselves against this one combine,
will demonstrate their power to resist
other combines and syndicates, all of
which arc detrimental to the prosper
ity of any people or country.
2nd, If the entire cotton crop of the
United States was covered with cot
ton bagging it would give a home
consumption for 50,000 hales id cot
ton (upon the basis that there will he
87,000,000 hales made in the United
States) - , or 28,000,000 pounds, which
at 7.1 cents, would amount to 82,100,-
1)0(1. This amount circulated among
the cotton growers, would in a few
years help the condition of fanners
very materially.
3rd. By using cotton bagging we
force the investment of capital in its
manufacture at home, and give em
ployment to hundreds id’ laborers, and
a 1 retter market for the low grades of
cotton, and that at home: and by all
means, it possible, it should he mrnu
lactured by home men and capital.
4th. As the farmer is the founda
tion upon which all enterprises stand,
they should ever he ready to stand
hand in hand, ami upon an united
platform, and show to the world, with
all its combines, that they are the en
gine to the train, and arc capable of
doing their own engineering.

New Yoiik, Aug. 26.—The maim

Waynesvii.i.k, Oa., Aug. 28. -
The South Brunswick terminal rail
road commenced laying steel tails
here to-day. The first spike was
driven by William M. Wiggins after
a few appropriate remarks.
Durham, N. C., Aug. 26. -A
special to the Globe from Washing
ton reports two distinct shocks ot
earthquake in that place Saturday
morning. The vibrations were gen
erally perceptible and were accompa
nied by an ominous rumbling.
•Tomnstown, I’a., Aug. 23.-
Thrnugli the carelessness of some of
the employes, the graves of the Hood
victims in Grand View cemetery'do
not correspond to the numbers on the
morgue records. This was painfully
illustrated to-day’ when James V'.
Shumaker, a prominent merchant of
this town, identified some jewelry as
belonging to his wife, and when the
grave corresponding to the number
was oiioned the body was found to lie
that of a man.
Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 26.—A
special to the .Journal says: “Four
tramps arrested here for vagrancy
were put up at public auction to-dav
from the court house steps. The sale
had been duly advertised according
to law, and there was a large crowd
present. The bidding was not very
spirited. Two of the tramps we it
to a farmer for 82 a head, and anoth
er was bid in for 75 cents. The
fourth tramp could find no purchaser,
and he was returned to jail. The
three who were sold must serve their
purchasers for four months.”
IYiTsm jtr;, I’a., Aug. 26.—A com
bination of eastern capitalists has
been formed to purchase all the prop-
ties along the Monongahala river,
including franchises, landings, boats,
cood will, etc., and control of the
river coal business. There is scarcely
a doiflit that the deal will go through.
Washington, Aug. 26.—Representa
tive Owen of Indiana, one of the rep
ublicans on good terms with President
Harrison, just from Deer Park, where
lie had a talk with the President, is
quoted ns saying that an extra session
of the next congress will lie called for
Oct. 20. This is the most positive
statement yet made by any one about
this matter.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 26.—Mr.
•Snclson of Meriwether gained the
floor to-day in the House on his reso
lution [that the tax payers of the
different counties demand of their
representatives why they don't support
the Snclson resolution restricting the
pay of members to the days of actual
service. There was some fillilmstcr-
ing hut Mr. Snclson got in his speech.
The resolution did not get in.
Reaching Out for Business.
Quitman will, it is claimed, ship
more cotton this season than any town
on the S. F. it W. Ky. The Press is
whooping up things mighty lively, in
that town. It says :
“We want an advertisement, large
or small, from every business man in
Quitman. People at a distance judge
of the business of a town by the num
ber of advertisements in the town pa
per. This is an unvarnished fact.
The Press wants the eo-oporation of
the whole town and country in its ef
forts to advance their varied interests.”
Thomasville merchants might get a
pointer in the above.
An enjoyable tea party occurred at

COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
Council Room, |
Tiio.masvim.e, Ga , Aug. 26. )
Regular session of council. Mayor
Hopkins presiding. Aldermen Hayes,
Jcrgcr and Merrill present.
Minu'cs last meeting read and con
firmed.
Following licenses were granted,
parties complying with ordinance:
Lem Mitchell, restaurant ; Ben Small,
merchandise.
Following petition was read and
referred to Alderman Hayes, ot fire
committee, and Alderman Merrill, of
health committee:
Tiiumasvh.i.e, Ga , Aug. 26, 18S9.
To the Mayor and Council of Thont-
asvlle, Ga.:
We, the undersigned firm beg leave
lo submit to your honorable body a
proposition for permission to make a
change in the old wooden building, in
which we arc doing a general repair
shop business, on Jackson street, be
tween Broad and Madison streets,
immediately in the rear ot F. N. l.ohn-
slcin's dry goods store, within the fire
district, on the properly owned by Dr.
p. S. Bower, whose permission wc
have to make such changes.
The < hanges we desire lo make be
cause our lease of the property has
two years to run before it expires, and
by these changes wc can make the
building better suiled to our business
and at flic same time lessen the liabil
ity to lire and conduce more to the
rules of health and cleanliness in this
locality. Wc propose to tear away
and remove the old piazza that runs
around two sides of the building and
tear do an and remove four or five
of the rooms on the rear and side of
the main body ot the house, next to
Lohnstcin’s store; to clean from under
neath the filth, and whitewash the
remainder and make some repairs on
roof with wooden shingles, or with
sheet iron, as may be directed by
council. A rough diagram of the
changes proposed is herewith submit
ted, but the advantages of the pro
posed changes in said building cannot
be made fully apparent on paper, as
we think the change will greatly lessen
fire risk and improve the general
healthful condition of said building.
We, therefore, pray that this proposi
tion be submitted to both the fire and
healih committees, that ihey may
make personal inspection on the
grounds and report to your body upon
the same. And in duty we will ever
pray, ,Yc.

Why is It
People will continue to buy groceries
on 30 days’ time, and thereby pay 15
f >er cent, more for them than they can
my them for for the spot cash. Don’t
you know you are paying 15 per cent,
on some account the merchant can’t
collect? He has to charge those who
do pay, enough to make good his
losses in had accounts. It is perfectly
legitimate and business-like, too! He
lias to live. But while it is perfectly
right in him to charge you that way,
it is very foolish in you to pay it,
because you can make that per cent,
yourself by buyiug your goods for
cash. I will take your order at regu
lar prices, ami then discount it 15 per
cent, for the cash.
Respectfully,
M. P. Pickett.
