of the statistical division of the depart-,

show a decline of a.7 points from
the September condition, which was
73.4, as against 70.7 for this month.
The condition of cotton in June was
85.6, declining to 82.7 in July and to
80.4 in August, losing from that lime
to the present 9.7 points.'
The retrogressive tendency has been
persistent during the season. Reports
from the most fertile parts of the
cotton belt are far from hopeful.

Bn*, really, a wonderful story centers
around the disco?try ot. the old Indi

gloom in the South Georgia pine,

an extravagant price for if, and much
of it might have been obtained for

MITCHELL FOR GOVERNOR.
Will Atkinson and Clay Give Way to
the Wiregrass Statesman?
The following special, under date
of the 8th, sent from Atlanta to the
Morning News, will be read with in
terest: -
The publication here to-day of a
lengthy political interview with Hon.
Robert G. Mitchell of Thomas county,
together with the announcement that,
his name will be presented to the
gubernatorial convention next year,
has stirred up not a Jitile talk. Mr,
Mitchell is very well known in this
section by reason of his Iegislative ca-
reer as president of tha last Senate.
He has been considered in thu front
rank in state affairs, though np to the
present he has not been regarded as a
probable entry in the gubernatorial
handicap. The interview to-day is
taken as the practical announcement
of Col, Mitchell’s candidacy, .though
he disclaims any inch intention,
though he would of course gratefully
accept the honor should it be conferr
ed upon-him. v - • r*
The probability of South Georgia
presenting Col. Mitchell is not the
only interesting feature of the politi
cal prospect to-day. For V week or
more there have been vague rumors
affecting - the gubernatorial situation
which now seem to be explained.
The talk is that both President
Clay and Speaker Atkinson will fall
in line and give CoL Mitchell a clear
field iu which to meet Gen. dement
A. Evans. Speaker Atkinson and
President Clay could not both run
With tfny hope of success against Gen.
Evans, with the strength he is daily
developing in this part of the state.
Both depend largely upon the same
elements for strength, both being
besides from the same section, though
Speaker Atkinson votes in Coweta
county. President Clay and Speaker
Atkinson are good friends notwith
standing their reported rivalry. Their
positions of political issues are the
same, and being young they could
well afford to wait a more favorable
opportunity and by joining in the
present reported plan, each might
add strength to his following.
Gen. Evans is in line with the ad
ministration. He will be supported
by thosd who construe the democratic
platform as Mr. Cleveland does, while
Senator Mitchell, besides hailing from
the southern part of the state, which
hasn’t furnished a governor in a good
while, is outspoken in construing the
party policy in an opposite light
from the administration. He is for
free coinage, and the lioe will be
drawn on that issue. Though a
South Georgia man, many safe politi
cians here urged Mr. Mitchell as a
much more formidable candidate than
either President Clay or Speaker At-
kioson, even in this part of the state.’
It cau be safely put down that Gen.
Evans will be the North Georgia can
didate, that is the one who will over
shadow all others finally, and with
Senator Mitchell of South Georgia
theo *ntts; would be a hard fought

Duty on Tobacco.
Washington, Oct. 9.—In order to
secure uniformity in the classification
of imported tobacco, particularly with
reference to paragraph 64a of the
tariff act, the treasury department has
issnedLa circular 10 the custom officers
of the department. The paragraph
provides that if any portion of tobacco
imported ii.boxrs, bales or pikages
is suitable for wrappers^ the entire
quantity contained therein shaU be
dutiable at $2 and $2 50 "per pound,
according to whether it is steamed or
not.
The circular provides that nuless
wrapper tobacco is designedly packed
with filler tobacco in appreciable
quantity, it sbonlduot interfere' with
the classification of the package as
filler tobacco.
Parties interested in the culture of'
tobacco in Thomas county, as weU as
the cigar manufacturers ol cigars here,
win be interested in the above item

The Rack Question.
A promiaeut farmer in this county,
one who does his trading here, and
who always brings something to town

matter should have the prompt atten

Georgia’s Hay Crop.
There’s a German tarrnor living
n^ar Fort ValUy who conducts his
farm on business principles.
i z in is his name, and this morn
ing he shipped over the Atlanta and
Florida railroad two cir loads of crab
grass hay.
The hay was made on laud where
crop of watermelons was raised, and
it was shipped to Chattanooga where
it will be sold.
When Georgia farmers do more of
this sort of business there will be more
money and less discontent in the land.
—Journal.
Thomas couoty far men are thor-
ougly alive to tha value of hay. More
of it has been saved this season than
for any two years previous, aud all ol
it has found a ‘ready sale. There is
no expense aTached to the raising ol
hay except harvesting it, and it seems
to us that it could be made a good
money crop. The German farmer
near Fort^yalley, alluded to above,
has set the farmers an example wh’ch
should be f J’owed.
Chicago, October 10.—The paid

ternational or other exposition.
Two men were struck by cable curs
and killed. Due fell down thu steps
of an iutcrmusal station aud died
an hour !a:er. • One was killed by the
explosion of a morlar at the fire
works display, aud many persons
were injured
Chicago, Oct..11.—The i cent per
mile rate on Chicago day to the world’s
fair was such an incentive to travel
that all webjern, southwestern aud
northwestern railroads have adopted
the 1 cent psr mile rate from cow
until the fair closes, tickets good until
Nov. 15. It is believed that this re
duction will secure the 1 cent per mile
rate from the southern roads. Cheap
rates on all the roads will insure the
largest avenge attendance from now
uotil the dose of the World’s fair.
