Bn«. -tlnn. Rccd is still master of the situation. Quitman's population is said to be about 2,000. -r^‘ Georgia politics is red hot, and still a heating. May the best men win. it is said that the soldiers’ home near Atlanta will be turned over to the state. Energy, invincible determination, with a right motive, are the levers that move the world.-—Noah Porter. Georgia wants a legislature that will work six days in a week, and members who will not skylark around on free passes.—Montezuma Record. .Senator Sherman threatens to retire to private life. The country will probably survive the shock. The temperature will rise in the senate chamber. The $500,000 required by the lease act of the W. & A. R. R. has been deposited with the treasurer of the state. The lease will be formally signed up on Monday. —— Congressman Crisp has refused to endorse the sub-treasury plan. He fully, however, endorses the motto of the alliance: “Equal rights to all special privileges to none.” The Quitman Press says: Quit- man’s compress is going up in a hurry. Don’t fail to bring your cotton to Quitman if you want the top of the market and from 1 to 1 more. The original package matter is bothering the courts a good deal. Some of the lower courts do not pay much attention to the decision of the supreme court of the United States. * \ ■ -— Ercd Myers carries the primary in Leon Co., Fla., over Capt. Pat Hous ton, for senator. The fight over the two members of the lower house is said to be very close. Frank Walker is in it, and says "by ginny” he’ll get there. “Will you run the melon exchange next year?” a Press man asked Mr. J. R. Forrester the other.day, "I would not go through what 1 have in the past six weeks for 810,000 cash in advance" was the reply.—Quitman Press. The bill making an appropropria- tion to establish a national park on Chickamauga battlefield, was passed by the senate. This is a house bill, and the president will sign the bill. The amount appropriated is $250,- Congressman Crain, ol Texas, is a gunning in Washington for a news paper correspondent. The aforesaid quill man said that Crain was one of the seven representatives absent with out being paired, when an important amendment, (that of I.chlbachs) to the lorce bill was delealed by the republicans. Mr. Crain should pocket his little pistol and try to explain to his constituents, who arc said to be down', on him on account of his negligence. That was a brave and perilous act, when two dauntless firemen climbed a rope to the roof of the high building of the Western Union Telegraph office, in New York, on Friday, and rescued seven persons. The great buildittttrts on fire and the angry fia|p|^jb|irst through the roof, a moment sifter the gallant firemen had rescued the party that was huddled away up there, with death staring them in the face. AH the heroes of life are not in the higher walks of life. Plumbing the Line. Rev J. M. Rushin lias writtin another letter in regard to the race for congress. He says : I am an allianeeman. I very much desire to set the p'an ol our order adopted and our principles advanced, and I cherish the hope that in the near luture mor.- of our fellow-citizens will see a necessity for an advance along their lines. But I ant also a democrat, and am persuaded that just now the uni ed efforts ol every member of this party are necessary to successfully resist the onslaughts ot the republican party against home government, or the right of each state to govern herself. I think it would lie very unfortunate for any division or dissension to occur in the ranks r.ow. I love my country and the alliance principles too well to be a parly to antagonize them. I therefore respect fully decline the use of my name, and will do what I can to preserve the har mony of the party—our hope for the present—and wait with patience for the triumph of the principles of our order—our hope for the future. J. M. Rushin. Guerry Not a Candidate. The editor of the Times, on Thurs day last, wired a mutual friend at Dawson to enquire if Judge Guerry was a candidate for congress. This was two days after the alliance caucus had endorsed him. This answer was received: “Guerry will accept if nominated by the democratic convention. He does not care to be placed in the attitude of a candidate.” Of course any aspiring young man would accept a nomination for con gress it tendered. This means that Judge Guerry will r.ot make a canvass for the nomination. He will not go out on the hustings and discuss the issues involved in this campaign. He cannot be nominated^ unless he does so, therefore he is practically not in the race. The tide has set in for Turner, and ludge C-qcrry is wise in reserving his forces lor a more aus picious opportunity. He is a talented young man, and we are likely to hear from him some of these days.—Val dosta Times. Cheap Watermelons. Chicago, July 17.—The statement was published some weeks that a trust had been formed on the Georgia watermelon crop. Melons were ship ped to agents in all large northern cities, to be sold wholesale by auction This plan did not suit the ideas of local dealers in this city, and they quietly formed a counter combination. Accordingly, when the first Georgia melons were put up for sale, there was only one bid—a wickedly low one— for the entire lot, and the melons had to go at that. Then the purchaser divided up the shipment with his fellow-conspirators, and they charged full prices to small dealers and the public, thereby makiug immense profits. The plan was adopted else where, with the inevitable result of smashing the melon trust. Georgia melons arc now in a free market, with two weeks run. Albany a Railroad Center. The contracts for the new road to be built from Cordele to Albany have been let for the building of the road, and the work will be pushed.
