can’t down Gordon.
Down with independents.
Macon is going to build a canal.
The fight still goes on over the Au
gusta post office.
The Czar of Russia says he wants

Mark Hardin is solid for clerk ol the

If Mr. Norwood stands for the Sen
ate he will probably distribute a few
thousand copies of his book, “Plutoc
racy” among the voters.
It is about time that the editorial
fraternity were sharpening up their
pencils, preparatory to telling the leg
islature what laws to pass.
We should regret to see Dr. Felton
in the race for congress from the 7th
district. Everett has been fairly notui
nated, and he should be elected.
The breach in South Carolina has
been healed ; there will be no split in
the democratic party in that state.
The republicans will be sorely disap.
pointed.
The usual “dog law” will be brought
up in the legislature, at the next ses
sion of that body. And the chances
—unfortunately—are that it will be
killed.
Speaking of the political strain and
ituation in South Carolina, the
Charleston News and Courier says:
Orthodoxy is our “doxy” and com-
iromise is our “mise. ”
Every man nominated for the sen
te is watching the fight between Snel-
on and Terrell, l'hey’re afraid Snel-
on will “get there.” Snslson was the
error of the last legislature.
They are talking about running An-
ier against Livingston in the dis-
rict. Col. Livingston has been fairly
ominated, and every democrat in the
listrict should support him. \V e are
ot for Livingston, personally, but lor
he nominee of the patty.
Two of the ablest democrats in con
fess, Mills, ot Texas, and Bynum, of
ndiana were unanimously renominated
Dr congress this week. They will
ick shields with Turner, Blount and
)risp, of Georgia, in fighting the re-
lublicans.
Last Sunday was the 76th anniver-
ary of the capture of Washington by
he “Britishers.” II they would come
Jong again and capture Tom Reed,
ild Hoar and some others of the g. o.
1, the country would not go to war
bout it. In fact, the country would
ke it.
Harrison pulled his grand-daddy’s
hat down over his eyes, and groaned
a great big groan, when informed that
the force bill would go over until next
session. And Tom Reed, well Reed
fairly foamed at the mouth. As for
old Hoar, he gritted his teeth and—
swore—perhaps.
And now the Salvation Army has
turned up in Atlanta again. What
has Atlanta done ? It is 0 be hoped
that this army will be dispersed before
the legislature meets. Atlanta, while
she is a pretty good sized town, is
hardly large enough to hold the Salva
tion Army and the Georgia legislature,
at the tame time.
The State Tax Rate.
The Governor has issued the follow
ing, giving the tax rate of the state:
Pursuant to section I, of tax act,
approved December 26, 1888, and
amended by act, approved November
12, 1889, which requires the gover
nor, with the assistance of the comp
troller general, to levy a percentage
on the taxable property of this state,
sufficient to meet the requirements
thereof, not to exceed a certain per
cent, named therein, and after ap
proximating, ns nearly as practicable,
the amount of all taxable property in
the state, as exhibited on the digest,
it is
Ordered, That two and seveu-tenths
of one per cent be assessed and col
lected upon the amount of the taxable
property returned by, or assessed
against each tax-payer, and upon the
value of all property in the state sub
ject to taxation ad valorem. And it
is further
Ordered, that in addition to the
two and seven-tenths of one per cent
above ordered, an extra per cent of
one tenth of one per cent be assessed
anil collected in conformity with an
act approved December 26, 1888,
upon the amount of the taxable pro
perty returned by or assessed against
each tax-payer, and upon the value of
all property in the state subject to
taxation ad valorem. And it is fur
ther
Ordered, That iu addition to the
two and seven-tenths of one per cent
and one tenth of one per cent nbove
ordered, an extra per cent of two and
sixth-tenths of one-tenth of one per
cent be assessed and collected in con
formity with an act creating a sinking
fund to retire maturing bonds, ap
proved December 26,1888, upon the
amount of the value of the taxable
property returned by, or assessed
against each tax-payer, and upon the
value of all property in the state sub
ject to taxation ad volorem; the whole
making three and ninety-six one hun
dredths of one per cent (3 96-100) for
all purposes for the fiscal year 1890.
John B. Gordon, Governor.
William A. Wright,
Comptroller General.
A Mistake.
The Columbus Enquirer-Sun,
speaking of the resolution adopted
by the state alliance, instructing
members of the order in the next
legislature to vote against any man
for senator who opposes the sub
treasury scheme, says:
“The Enquirer-Sun does not hesi
tate to express the opinion that the
adoption of this resolution was not the
part of wisdom or good judgment,
and is calculated to work harm to the
Alliance and to the Democratic party.
It should be sufficient that a candi
date for the United States Senate
stand on the avowed platform of the
Georgia Democracy, only a few days
ago declared by its State Convention.
TLere should he no other qualification
necessary, and none other should bo
demanded. The Alliance, however,
by this resolution, promulgates a new
platform upon which Democratic can
didates for the United States Senate
must stnnd, nud it is a platform ut
terly repugnant, so far as the sub-
treasury is concerned, to the funda
mental principles of the State and
National Democracy. We have on
abiding faith that the Democratic
Allianccmen who may be members
of the next Legislature will not feel
themselves tied, bound hand and foot
by this resolution, and that when the
issue is at hand they will have the
courage and consistency to vote as
Democrats, and not merely ns Alii
anceraen.”
Taxes on Railroads.
Comptroller General Wright has fin
ished computing the amount of t ixes
that must be paid the state by the rail-
roads and street railroads by Oct. 1, or
each delinquent will be 'fined $500.
There are now sixty-eight railroads in
the state, valued at $36,606,834.
The ad valorem tax on them
amounts to $143,940. This does not
include the Macon and Covington,
which has no’ yet been assessed, but
which was valued last year at $780,-
369.
The street railroad property in '.he
state is r.-turned at $1,020,083, on
which the tax amounts to $4,435.
There is a considerable increase in the
value of railroad ptoperty in a year
since it was assessed. Last year it
was at $34,250,477, on which the tax
was $139,909, This is the first year
the street car property has been return
ed to the com,droller, and hence no
comparison can be made.
Alligators and the Census.
Washington, Aug. 27.—Anioog
other industries that the census office
wants to know about is the alligator
industry in Florida. A circular was,
therefore, sent to a man in Florida.
He has written Secretary Noble as fol
lows : “I don’t understand what you
mean about the hunting. I want you
to write to me whether you want to
hire me by the month or not, or wheth
er you want me to hunt and ship to
you. I will hunt by the month for a
consideration if you furnish me. I
want a boat and guns. I want to
know what you will give a dozen
for alligator eggs and what you will
pay for alligators.”
The Macon and Atlantic.
W. H. Wells, chief engineer of the
Macon and Atlantic road, was in the
city yesterday in consultation with T.
P. Stanley, the engineer in charge of
the corps which ran the line from Guy
ton to this city. Mr. Wells will ac
company Mr. Stanley and the corps to
Guyton this morning, and the line will
be located at once between Guyton
and this city.
Mr, Stanley says the. contract has
been let for that part of the road lying
between this city and Guyton, and the
contractor is on the ground waiting
for so much of the line to be located
as will enable him to go to work.—

A Republican Who Wants to Control
Democrats in Georgia.
The Democrats of Georgia should
not forget that one McCune, an un
scrupulous Republican, with head
quarters at Washington, is. the man
who is leading the fight against Gov
ernor Gordon.
The above, from tho Brunswick
Times, should arrest the attention of
every true democrat in Georgia. If
wo mistake not the temper of the
democrats of Georgia, they will scorn
aud repudiate Mr. McCune’s interfer
ence in Georgia politics. If we have
to call in outside advice, we’ll at least
try anil get it from democratic sourc-
New York Central’s Strike.
Aliianv, N. Y., Ang. 28.—Notice
was to-day served upon Vice President
Webb, ot the New York Central road,
and Master Workman Lee, of the
Knights of Labor that the state board
of mediation and arbitration would in
quire into the cause of the strike. The
inquiry will begin in New York next
Tuesday.
Cholera’s Sweep.
Cairo, Aug. 28.—From Saturday
until yesterday there were twenty-two
now cases of cholera and seven deaths
from the disease at Eltor.
Cure for the Hog Cholera.
Mr. T. A. Owens tells the Rochelle
Solid South of an old gentleman in
Telfair county who informed him of
the tollowing remedy for hog cholera
which he said has never failed:
Take a load of pine knots, such as
are used for burning coal, and burn
them down to a coal, then extinguish
the fire and feed the' hogs among the
coals. The hogs, he said, would soon
eat up the coals and the cholera would
cease. The gentleman .' ho was telling
Mr. Owens of the remedy said that he
and several others had tried it for sev
eral years, and that they had lost no
hogs from cholera during that time.

They Couldn’t Stomach Harrison.
Birmingham, Aug. 28.—The Re
publican Congressional Convention of
the Seventh Alabama district met in
Anniston yesterday and decided not to
make any nomination. A resolution
endorsing the administration of Harri
son was voted down.
Punctuation’s Power.
The Journalistic Warwick is not con
fined entirely to the editorial room.
Frequently the compositor, humbly but
always efficaciously, takes a hack at
that sort of thing. Recently he took
possession of a piece of copy which in
cluded the name “Thomas Burton
King, of Georgia.” But by the dex
terous and timely transposition of a
comma he made the gentleman
“Thomas Burton, King of Georgia,”
and he would retain the rank now had
not the proof reader stepped in and
firmly shoved the comma over.—

Death of an Aeronaut.
Rome, Aug. 28.—The aeronaut,
Borletti, met with a terrible death yes
terday at TraHa. The baloon in which
he had aseended caught fire and Bor-
iettiwas precipitated to the ground
from a great height and instantly kill
ed.
