villo, Mr. Bennett replied that the

thinks Thomasville presents a fine
opening for such an enterprise.

Some writer has discovered that as
Women become moro independent nud
self sustaining, as more of the avenues
of life nro opened to tho sex, that
marriages decrease. These facts
should increase, rather than decrease
marriage; for women under the new
order of tilings, are hotter able to sup
port a husband.
Savannah, after a nap of one hun
dre-d years, is waking up. That city

simply wait and watch for the lines;
she should work twenty-five hours a
day lor them. j
The Philadelphia Press remarks:
The young men who for years squan
dered their dollars in purchasing Lou

chance to invest in marriage licenses-
another kind of lottery tickets-”

Congress will adjourn to morrow, if

It begins to look as if the sub-treas
ury plan was an issue iu Georgia.
Some people have been a long time
finding this out.
New developments arc being made
in the electrical world. No man can
foretell the future of this wonderful
and subtlo power.

Girdon, Turner and Mitchell.
In his speech at Helena on Thurs
day Gov. Gordon said that the al
liance sub-treasury bill should not
bo made a test of loyalty to tho inter
ests of the farmers or alliance princi
ples, for the reason that nowhere ex
cept in Georgia is that bill demanded
by the farmers with anything like
unanimity. Indeed, in the great
west little or nothing seems to be
known of it, and in the north it is not
discussed at all. In a few of the
southern states it is pushed to the
front as an issue, but only in Georgia
is the attempt made to make it the
test of loyalty to alliance principles.—
News.
There arc many olliauccmcn who
do not make the sub-treasury plan a
test. The allinccmcn of Thomas
county, many of them, voted for both
Turner mid Mitchell, in the late pri
mary, when both theso gentlemen had
frankly told them they could not and
would not support the measure. It is
not likely thnt the allianceraen of
this county, who voted for Mitchell
and Turner, will refuse to support
General Gordon. Gordon, Turner
and Mitchell, occupy exactly the same
grounds. The people of this county
or a good majority of them, arc in
favor of General Gordon.
Wo understand that the sub-alfi-
anccs of the county have appointed
dclegntcs to a meeting of the comity
alliance, to be held at Boston, on
Thursday; and thnt at that time ac
tion in reference to the United States
Scuatorship will be taken. Any body
of men have a right to mcot and ex
press their views on this, or any other
subject, blit to bo of force, or have
any binding effect, the wishes of the
entire democratic party should he
consulted. We hold to the-old detr.
ocratic rulo of majorities.
If it cau ho demonstrated that a
majority of the democrats of Thomas
county arc opposed to Gen. Gordon,
then there would bo grounds for rep
resentatives acting iu accordance with
that verdict; but if, as we arc ful
assured, a majority of the democratic
voters favor Gordon, then no fraction
al part of- these voters have a right to
ask representatives to oppose a
majority of the voters of the county.
It is well known that, in accordance
with what is regarded as the wish of a
majority of the couuty, tho senator
and representatives of this county,
have pledged themselves to vote for
Gordon. Senator Mitchell, and rep
resentatives Parker and Ivey, were
voted for by hundreds, with the un
derstanding that they would support
Gordon. And these gentlemen have
pledged themselves since, so to vote.
1 here should bo no friction over this
matter. Thomas county democrats
have always abided by the will of the
majority. It has been our salvation in
the past; and it is our security for the
future. Let harmony and peace pre
vail iu Thomas, as it has iu the past.
Our first duty is to Thomas county.
That duty cau only bo performed by
preserving the integrity and solidity
of the democratic party. This should
be the aim of every white mail iu
Thomas county.
