Mr. Dan Dixon, of Iamoncc, was
in town yesterday.
“What about that first bale, Dan?”
the reporter asked.
“We had half a bale picked week

at the clouds and watched the scudding

Smith, and is a part of the Smith
estate. The price paid, we •learn,

A Stormy Time in Decatur.

Editor Tijies-Uxtkiipiusk:
The county convention held
stormy session to-day, sitting four or
five hours. The nllianccmen hold
majority of the district delegates, but
the popular vote for Turner was about
two for one. The order of the demo
cratic executive committee ordering
the primary direct the expression of
the popular voice in primnry and the
inclement weather occasioned a small
vote. It was on the canvass of the
popular vote thnt the fight occurred.
The canvass revealed the fact and
the delegation was sent instructed for
Turner. The convention broke up
ia good humor, ami everybody went
home satisfied.

The Augusta Road.
The following press report of the
proceedings of a meeting of the board
of directors of the Augusta and West
Florida road appeared in yesterday's
News:
Atlanta, Ga., July 28—A meet
ing of the board of directors of
the Augusta and West Florida railroad
was held here this afternoon. Presi
dent Bailey, ol New York, was present.
The directors arc negotiating for the
lurchase of the Carolina, Knoxville &
Western road, and it is almost certain
that the trade will be made. The
Augusta and West Florida is also apt to
scoop the Louisville and Wadlcy road,
as the offers of the people of Louis
ville, Ga., to get the road run through
their town will probably be accepted,
and then the little Wadlcy road will be
an important adjunct.
I: begins to look as if the newly pro
jected line was assuming tangible
shape and considerable proportions as
well. Thomasville, having put up her
$50,000 subscription is, watching and
—waiting.
"Special attentionjis called to the ad
vertisement of ;McRae Bros. They

arc closing out at their stand in the
Mitchell Houso block, nt rare bar

others, to supply themselves with ar
ticles needed. These gcntlemcu mean
business. They {intend to clove out
within the next thirty days.

Let’s Have The Road.
“Last week mention wax made in
these columns of the proposed plan to
secure the speedy building of tlie Tal
lahassee Northern Railroad. The ne
cessity for this rond is npparenton ev
ery lmnd. The capitalists, that have
subscribed 8450,000 toward building
tho road are amply able- to build it
without any assistance, hut they want
the people of Leon courjty to subscribe
to the road nnd nid in die construction
simply ns a guarantee that it will be
patronized. These men have carried
to success everything they have, start
ed in Tallahassee, and they are now
under wTitt.cn contract to complete
this road if the citizens will subscribe
tho sum of 850,000.
“Consider the decrease it will make
in freight rates, the quick transit to
northern markets, d ircct, thereby
bringing into our cou nty increased
industries of all kinds, increased busi
ness for the merchants, the farmer,
the mechanic, the truck gardener ami
in fact increased busiuois in al* trades
aud professions.
v
“Monticello raised last year 817,000
to secure.n road from that place to
Thomasviilc, Ga., she got the road,
ami any of her citizens will tell you
today that they have been paid back
ten-fold their investment. This road
will be of greater importance to Tal
lahassee, because it will bo an inde
pendent line, allied with no other cor
poration, but will be free to connect
where it can secure for our pcoplo the
cheapest freight rates and the quick
est transportation.
“Don’t let this opportunity pass to
secure this road, which is of impera
tive necessity. If you can’t take a
thousand dollars worth of stock, take
nil you can. It will aid in building
up the county, and will also pav you
moro interest on your money tnau
anything wc know of just now.”
Tho above shows that our neighbors
are in earnest about linviug an outlet
via Thomasviilc. With this line
built, real estate--especially farm
ing lands—would increase one hun

A special from Washington to the
Columbus Enquirer-Sun says: “Col.

as a republican, in an interview to

the republican managers in Georgia
to run candidates in ell congressional
district.s In the First, Goodyear of
Brunswick would he urged to mako
tho race. I11 second, Wade himself
proposed to try Turner a round, while
Jack Brown, Gen. Bcthunc, Angier
and Darnnll would stand as candidates
respectively ' in the Tlr-d, Fourth,
Fifth and Ninth.

Getting it Down Fine.
The Grocer, published in New
York, and devoted to the interests of
that particular interest, docs not often
dip into politics, but it speaks out on
the force bill, and it tulks solid seme
too. The Grocer says:
"There are political measures which
arc so intimately associated with the
welfare of I lie whole country that it
becomes the duty of every business
man to speak out nnd let himscli he
heard upon them." The forco bill is
one of these measures, and this is
what the Grocer has to say about it:
“The conditions nt the south arc such
that until the colored people have
grown in intelligence, toleration and
virtue, the white race must necessari
ly be the dominant race. Northern
republicans who vlait the south and
sco for themselves admit this.

Watchfulness the Watchword.
The News of yesterday, says : "The
reports that yellow fever is prevalent
in Havana are confirmed. The fever
is spreading through the West India
Islands and in Vera Cruz. On Friday
last forty-eight new cases were reported

authorities should take extra precau

infected ports.”
