To this the governor re plies as foflows: Hon, T. M. Norwood, Savannah, Ga: Dear Sir— I accept with pleasure your challenge for a joint debate, if you will frankly and publicly announce yourself a candidate for the Senate. Your interview led the couutry to un dersland that you were anxious to be elected, while unwilling to declare your candidacy. You must perceive the manifest inequality of the plat forms on which we would respective ly stand in a joint debate, with my public announcement of ray Candida cy, while you are seeking to place yourself in the attitude of a sacrificing patriot who prefers “private life,” and will only consent to serve in the Sen ate in order to save your country. Besides, if I am to meet in joint dc bate every man who might challenge me while denying his candidacy, my whole time would be occupied until the meeting of the Legislature. Declare your candidacv in an open letter or public announcement to the people, and you will find me ready to meet you anywhere on equal footing and equal terms. One word a3 to my remarks which you quote: I have never yet assailed Grand Jury Presentments Col quitt County. Gcorgin, Colquitt County: Tlic Grand Jury for the September Term, 1890, ol Colquitt Superior Court, licg leave to submit the following general present ments, to-wit: We find some of the roads of the county in good condition, but a great mtny arc in a bad condition. We direct the attention of the commissioners to this matter, and re commend that they see to it that tiiey arc put in order ns soon ns possible. We recommend repairs to lie made on the following bridges, to-wit: The Okopilco bridge on the Moultrie anil Sumner ro id. The Bridge Creek bridge on the Moultrie nnd Camilla road. The committee appointed by the last grand jury to investigate the records report ed to us that the books of the Ordinary are in a neat condition, io far n3 they could ns- •rtain. Thai the books and records of the Clerk were beautifully kept and conveniently in dexed. That the Treasurer’s hooka show the re ceipts for last year were $2,982.57, disburse ments, $2,154.39, treasurer's commissions, $112.92, leaving a balance of $155.20 in the treasury. That the records of the County Commis sioners ore not kept in a satisfactory man ner, nnd recommend a mure detailed and nc- curate system. That the Tax Collector lias failed to lay his books before the committee. The grand jury ndopted this icport nnd continued the committee with Instructions to report to the next grand jury. We censure the Tax Collector for bis fait urc to bring bis books to the committee, nnd recommend that be report to the said committee and the county commissioners on the 26th instant, to make a complete settle ment. We learn that the papers in Ordinary's of fice, under Judge Henry Gay's administra tion, are badly scattered nnd many of them not on record. We recommend that the county commissioners consider the advisabil ity of getting these records in proper legal shape. We renew the recommendation of the last grand jury that the county commissioners provides suitable chairs for the court, bar and juries, and a suitable safe for the clerk’s office. We impress upon them' the import ancc of this matter. Wc recommend the appointment of the following Notaries Public and ev-olficio Justices of the Peace, to-wit; W. W. Baker for the 137-ttli District, 0. M., to fill the vaenney caused by the failure ofDanicl Lott to take up bis commission S. L. Uenti for the 1020th District G. to fill the vacancy caused by the expiration of the term of James Durst. Wc recommend that jurors and bailiffs for the ensuing year be paid $2 per day. We recommend that the sheriff lie paid $15 for extra services.

Rountree, for their courtesies and kindness This has been the invariable rule of to our body. *ny life, and you furnish no exception to this rule. You wer.t out of your way before your name had ever been mentioned by me, to say some very unworthy things about me in your in terview. You did not designate me by name, but you spoke of the one candidate, and every man in Georgia knows that referred to me. You said that you did not consider it any “sin" to run against that candidate, and that the Senate was not “private property,’' as though I had assumed to own the Sen ate as ray private estate, and there, fore that I accepted the absurd and contemptible attitude of holding a “sin" to have any man oppose me. Nothing could be more unprovoked or unjust and few things rould^bs more of- feiive to a man or ordinary sensibilities. It was this unworthy tak of yours, under the guise of being no candidate and “preferring private life," while seeking to damage me in the estima- tion'of the people, that called forth the criticism of which you complain. I am, respectfully. John B. Gordon. Items from the Augusta Chronicle: fiam Jones says: "I am so glad that whenever any ono else tries to preach ns Ido, he makes an ass of hiuoelf.” “When Gordon goes campaigning in Georgia," says The Millcdgeville Recorder, “the other fellow’s hash is settled.” Mr. Cleveland is deer hunting this week.

Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 14—The rains since the 1st ol August haae made a vast difference in the cotton crop, and the present outlook is that, in Geor gia, it will be at least 25 per cent. This information comes from the de partment of agriculture of the state, through an interview with Col. John Waddell, commissioner. A HEAVY FALLINC OFF. He says: “Our report of the con dition of the crop Sept. 1 was 81 per cent^fec a vcrage. That was fal ling uWt twelve points during August. This was due to rust caused by the excessive rain, and the same cause will depreciate the condition of the crop at least ten points more by the time our October report comes in. STILL FURTHER DAMAGE. «The rains ot the past two weeks have made the rust much worse, and there is already additional damage of ten points since Sept. 1.1 have been nearly all over the state and know whereof of speak. The rust is par ticularly bad in Southwest Georgia. In North Georgia the crop condition of the crop is better, but the best re port come from counties where there is not much cotton raised."
