Northen is, already, winning golden opinions, in the manner in which nc is discharging the duties of governor. Speech of Senator Smith. Here are the remarks made by Senator E. B. Smith, of the 28tb, in socondiDg the nomination of Gen. Gordon. They arc the words of a tr ue Alliancetuau and a true friend to the people. The sentiment that they express is worth preserving: “Mr. President—It is with unspeak able pleasure that I rise to second the nomination of General John 13. Gor don. As a citizen of Georgia I am proud of the record that he has made as a hero, statesman and patriot. Compare it with those who are named as his competitors, and how docs it stand? Without a blemish iu war or peace. Every Georgian should be proud of it, cherish and revere it ns a priceless legacy to be left to our chil dren for imitation. Let Georgirats to day stand by him who lias never fail ed to stand by them, through sunshine and storm, nnd whose whole life has been given to the service of Georgia and the south. As an Alliancetnatt and having been a farmer from my youth, feeling deeply the needs of the agricultural classes, I yield to no one in fealty to the brotherhood. Having been inti mately associated with General Gor don for the past four year,s having on various occasions in private and pub lie heard his views expressed on those questions unreservedly, with all the siucerity aud honesty of my heart and soul with the Alliance and agricultur al interest of the country. Ho has said that lie would have joined the or der when first established in the state, but advised by Governor Northen to wait. Fully impressed as I am that it is now passing through a crisis, threatened with danger to its exis tence, I honestly wish my brethren to rally with me to the support of Gen. Gordon ns the farmer’s friend, and who on every occasion has shown himself true to the Alliance nnd its principles, nnd whose election as Unit ed States senator to day, will iu my honest judgement, save it from disas ter.” The Pension Deficit. The New York Herald prints some startling tacts and figures about the pension business. A few days ago the Herald estima ted the deficiency of the pention ac count this year at $30,000,000. It now appears that this was an ur.deres- timate. Tne commissioner of pensions officially reports th it the deficiency will retch $40,000,000. Some ex perts declare that it will reach $49,- 000,000. Adding this sum to the ap propriation of $101,000,000 tor this year’s pensions, it will be seen that over $140,000,000 will be needed. Nor is this all. Next year when we feel the effects of the dependent pen sion bill, $100,000,000 will be requir ed. Now, in view of Secretary Wtndom’s admission that the end of the present fiscal year will see the government without a dollar in the treasury, the situation begins to look serious. The surplus left by a democratic administration lias been squandered. The dependent pension law will cause I, 000,000 claims to be made, and if only three-fourths of these are allowed they will cost $75,000,0003 year in addition to the old pension. Where is all this ntoqey to come from? The government must cither call a halt and repeal some of the pen sion laws, or inflate the currency. With our present limited supply of money, a wasteful government and our business necessities, it is evident that the country must have financial relief on a very large scale.- : —Constitu tion. A Joint Ballot in Alabama. Montgomery, Ala., Nov. at—The joint caucus of the democrats of the general assembly to elect a successor to United S'ates Senator Pugh took or.e ballot to-night and adjourned un til Monday night. The ballot result ed : Pugh 41, Seay 3a, Kolb 38, Watts II. Saved to the Farmer. The following items of expense are saved to all farmers who sell their cotton in a compress market—such as Bainbridge: Rebate for compreescd cotton pai«l by the ships r >'» Rebate for compressed cotton paid by railroads l>rayage at port l’» Insurance to port '-•» Storage at port 25 Re-weighing lb Commissions for selling ••••*'■•*> Total $2.55 This much, to pay uothiug of the buoyancy of a market where there aro half a dozen export buyers filling orders for foreign markets. Let every farmer sit quietly down and digest these facts and send his cotton to Bainbridge, despite the ef forts ot smaller markets to deceive him into sending his cotton elsewhere. Bainbridge is equal to Albany and Columbus ns a cotton market and half a cent per pound—82.55 per hale —ahead of any other Southern or S. W. Georgia market. The above, from the Bainbridge Democrat, is food for thought, for both merchants and farmers. A movement—and there hns been lint little said about it--is on toot which will eventuate in one of the best cot ton compresses in the country being erected here next summer. The mat ter is in the hands of a few gentlemen who aro equal to the task and the oc casion. You can put it down that Tltomns- ville will have a cotton press ready for the next crop of cotton.

The Farmer Would Lose Four Dol lars Per Bale on Cotton- The Herald-Journal, Greensboro, says: Marcune is trying to convince the Southern farmers that the bill to pro tect hog’s fat at the expense of cotton seed is a good thing for them. If the compound lard bill Incomes a law it will cause farmers to -cse an average ol $4 on every bale of cotton.
