The Prosperous southern Farmers.
From all pans of Georgia and from
every section of the South come most
cht-rring accounts of the growing
crops. The Baltimore Manu acturers’
Record says:
The contrast between the West
and Northwest and the South is being
very strikingly brought out at present
by the daily crop reports. In the
lormer sections disastrous crop failures
seem to be the order of the day.
From Kansis comes the report of only
20 per cent, ol last year’s, while
Dakota sends out doleful tales of short
yic'ds ol cereals. In the South the
farmers are rejoicing over the finest
prospects known tor manv years, and
the indications now point to the lar
gest cotton crop ever raised, with
prices high on acoount of the steadily
increasing demand throughout the
wot Id f >r cotton goods.
He’s all Right.
Nashville, Tenn., August 12.—
[Special ]—George W. Baxter, of
Cheyenne, Wyoming, who was nomi
nated by the democratic convention
at Cheyenne yesterday tor governor,
is a brother of Lewis T. Baxter, the
republican nominee for governor of
Tennessee. He has lived in Wyom
ing ten years an 1 amassed a fortune.
He is a staunch democrat and held an
important position under President
Cleveland.
Mr. Baxter is a son-in law of Mr.
Charles M. McGehce, who is well
kuoivn'in Thomasville as one of our
regular winter visitors. Mr. McGchee,
formerly of Tennessee, but now of
New York, has amassed a large for
tune in the great metropolis.
Give it to Him-
Every now and then some unterri-
fied democrat everlastingly goes for
Tyrant Reed.
Mr. Mills, ol Texas, iu a recent
speech in Missouri, tackled Speaker
liced in the following bold manner:
“A bold wretch occupying one of the
highest positions iu the government,
who tramples under foot the rights
of minorities, and thanks God for the
opportunity; has made of the people’s
representative body a military camp
in which the subordiuate9 get their
orders daily. But the Saxon spirit
which has dethroned kings and broken
scepters will teach him the lesson
which it has taught every usurper
who lias attempted to curb it.”
A dispatch from Washington,yester
day, attributes this language lo Sena
tor Gordon:
‘•Will not believe the bill dead till
I read it on its tombstone.”
As Quay is engaged in digging the
grave it is probable that the tomb
stone, bearing the inscription :
“KILLED BYPt'BLIC SENTIMENT,''
will be erected very soon.

Gorman Goes for ’Em.
The republicans are determined to
force the iniquitous tariff bill, now
pending in the Senate on the people.
Senator Gorman thus addressed the
Senate, on yesterday:
I know that nothing which we can
say will affect the majority. You
(addressing the republican side) have
entered on the passage of an act which
lays throughout its every page addi
tional burdens on the people. Now
that you have this great majority,
counted and fashioned to order, you
will pass the bill, and you will impose
these heavy burdens on the agricul
tural people of the country. We can
not slay you. Although we cannot
stop you, at all events wc have done
one thing that was right and neces
sary—that is, we have had free and
open discussion of this matter. The
time has come (as I take it) when we
arc to vote upon it. The decree lias
gone forth. We will rely on the
American people to reverse that which
we believe to be a great wrong against
the entire country.’’
