Many rumors are afloat concerning the enterprise, among them one that it ha3 an important po litical significance, to tho effect that ono of the proprietors had just return ed from New York with $5,000 to back it, and that it will be made the alliance organ for Florida.” The abovo was sent from hereto the Savannah News by the corre spondent of that paper on Friday.

Tho great spectacle, in four acts, was preseuted for liio first time in this city ut the Walnut Street theatre last evening. Few managers have nerve enough to collect the cost ly attractions exhibited it; each act. the costumes are rich aud baffle description, while the car loads of scenery furnishes g irgeous stage set tings, grotesque in form and delightful to behold. The piny uufolds a fairy story with human lovers, numerous demous aud fairies who triumph over tho fiends. Death of a Young Man. Mr. Daa Andrews died yesterday morning at his father’s, Dr. J. D.

The Augusta Clirouicloof yesterday says: “Yesterday at 2 o’clock the ^direc tors of the Augusta and Wait Florida railroad held a meeting at the office of Vice President James U- Jackson. “The meeting was calked for tho purpose of ratifying the mortgage ramie to the Now York Mercantile Trust aompany, trustees, by the com pany. “The amount of the m ortgageis on the basis of 815,000 per mile, and as tho length of the line, 'including.the' Jesup branch, is 433 mi' .es, this mort gage aggregates 86,495/ J00. “President Bailey c amo on from New York to ho presen t at the meet ing, and the report made by him 1 * * * ' dealt with the progrr a made in tho soveral avenues of acti vity. “He was seen by a Chronicle re porter last night and a ski d about the affairs of the projected - lino. Every thing is as satisfactory as anyone could desire. Wo r.ow have abun dant money to work on. But even hef'ore this transaction was ratified, wo were and are mow pushing the work ot grading ahead. Gangs of men are busy on tho line between Augusta and Louisville. Ho feels that tho lino should be completely graded between Augusta and Louis ville within sixty days.” This will bo welcome news to Thom asville. Our people have watched this enterprise with the keenest in terest, feeling that its completion will give us another great nnd direct highway to tho North and East.

B. Town send. Stories related by drummers while whiling away an idle hour at the Gult House, in this city, furnish the subject. \ Talking Tariff. The Argus, published nt Albany, N. Y., prints an interesting interview with Mr. Cleveland on the political situation. Among other things Mr. Cleveland said; “I am confident that wc shall se cure a majority iu the House of Re presentatives. Our success may not be so sweeping and dcciuvo as many of our snugumc frionds anticipate, but it will he safo And substantial. I cannot forget.how laboriously the re form moves which must break through selfish interests, strongly entrenched and unscrupulously asserted, and which must over come abuses longsuf fored and arrogantly maintained, I believe that all our gaius must bo the result of a hard struggle against these odds. It is now, however, possible that the complete triumph of the peo ple’s cause can be much longer delay ed. Tho effective inculcation of the wholcsomo doctrine which character izes the democratic press; through the discussion goiug on in every part of the country; the undisguised schemes of the Republican party to sccuro its perpetuation in power through reck less enactments which stifle the re sults of the people's suffrage; its brutal methods of legislation, and, above all, the positive distress daily threatening our people’s homes under the opera tion of the new and iniquitous tariff law—a law which not only enhances the cost of tho necessaries of life, but fosters tho extortions of trusts pnd combinations—make certain the ad vent of a freer, better time, and the aseendanoy of true democracy.” Georgia Will Stand by Gordon. Savannah Sews. Had tho election for United States Senator taken place a fortnight since there is no little doubt hut that Geor gia would have witnessed the humtlia ting spectacle of seeing her distin guished son, John B. Gordon, ^ defeat ed by the machinations of a clique in Atlanta, who, by misrepresentations, had poisoned the minds of such mem- bers of'thc .Legislature as er e con troll- ed bv Farmers’ Alliances. No more deplorable calamity could have befal len our K'.eat state than the succest1 of tho wily and crafty professional politi cians \1i10 have assumed to control its destinies Fortunately, the represen tatives of the Democratic farmers in Georgia have had their eyes opened to tho truth, and, in spite of the efforts of tho Macunes and Livingstons their Alliance organizations aro rallying to tho support of the man who was a soldier among soldiers when it was right to bo a soldier, and a statesman and a patriot, iu the broadest sense of these words, in times that brought into conspicuous view the qualities and virtues of the men who deserves those houored titles.

Benjamin Harrison says : “Cheai goods make cheap men.” Good must hare been awfully cheap when Benjamin Harrison was growing up. Daltou Citizen. The Elberton Gazette gets off this good ono: The men who havo writ ten in favor of tho sub-treasury bill either want the United States sens- torship or “something better,’’ Most of them will havo to take something worse. Tho eyes of the alliancemen have been opened. Many of them^pw rccognizo the fact that the men who aro writing letters en dorsing tho sub-treasury plan are doing so to catch votes for U. S. Senator. The gratifying announcement is made that our Indian wars arc over. We had many of them, and they have all cost us heavily in money ana blood, without contributing to our national glory in any appreciable degree.—Ex. Here’s an account of a terrible nc cideut to a street car in Chicago. What was it? A collision ?

COLD WEATHER NECESSITIES Carpets andThier Accessories, The time is certainly her& when yon are thinking of your new carpet, and you could select no better time to purchase it. We are turning out more car• pets than any two houses in town. Why? because we have the assortment to select front, and the prices are right. We advise you to purchase your carpets now, for as sure as two and two make four—yoit will pay more two months hence. The McKinley tariff bill has caused an advance in wool, and it will be impossible for carpet dealers to duplicate their stock at former prices. Naturally it will cause an increase to the consumer. Our advice is plain. We have only the following inducements to offer—-first the largest stock—second lowest pri ces—third that carpets and rugs are cheaper noiv than they will probably ever be again.
