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. LATEST TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. AN EARTHQUAKE IN NORTH CAROLINA.

Snclson, Toough Somewhat Disfigured by Mc Donald, Still in the Ring "He Dead Mixed at Johnstown -Tramps Sold at Auction. 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 syrup will he shipped front Cairo this ■easou. This, within its self, would ■uu a small sugar Refinery. Let our ’armors and business men post them- lelves and get ready to act in this rnportnnt matter, and thus down mother monstrous trust. Mr. J. M. Blackshear, one of the best farmers in the country, is deliv ering pears to the evaporator to fill a 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. J.R.S. New Yoiik, Aug. 26.—The maim factures of window glass, table glass and crockery have formed a “trust.’ Waynesvii.i.k, Oa., Aug. 28. - The South Brunswick terminal rail road commenced laying steel tails here to-day.

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.

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 Grant Park last Thursday evening in honor of Miss Brumby, of Athens, and Miss Hansell, of Thomasville.

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. 1‘. R. Wertz & Son. Committee on public property au thorized to paint fence of tlx city hall yard.
