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 before last, nnd but for the continual excessive rains would have bad a bale in Thomasviilc last Tuesday,” said Mr Dixon, as lie cast his weather eye at the clouds and watched the scudding patches floating north cast, indicating more rain, Mr. Dixon says the rains arc injuring cotton badly. Dr. John H. Coyle has bought four acres of land near Col. McLendon’s, on the road just beyond the end of Wychc street, and will build a hand some suburban residence. The prop erty was purchased from Mr. Redden Smith, and is a part of the Smith estate. The price paid, we •learn, was 8200 per aero. The property is beautifully located and is valuable.

B.WNIIKIDfiE, Ga., ) •July 29, 1S90 > j 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. J. M. Brown. Bargains. 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.

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.

The people of Thomasville may ex pect to find a very superb 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. The property of the- south-j*~being.

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 ;n Havana alone. The quarantine authorities should take extra precau tions irt regard to vessels from these infected ports.” Ctcanline.-s Is a mighty good pre ventive. Let southern towns observe strict sanitary r'egu’ations and they will be safe. War has broken out in the Argen tine republic. Buenos .Ayres was the scene of the opening conflict. One thousand were killed in the first fight, resultcing in the defeat of ti c government. Mr. S. B. Lewis, a prominent merchant and hanker, of Albany, died from apoplexy, on Monday.
