BACON & COLLINS SUPPLY CO., ■ ■ —ALBANY, GEORGIA. ========= Col, S. G. McLendon of this city spoke litis week before the state agricultural society on “The Oomdiercial Value of Popular Ignorance.” Col.* Mclendon evidently created a sensation by his scholarly talk. Tin Hawkinsville cor respondent of the Atlanta Journal writes us follows. * Hon. 8. G. McLendon mad3 a remarkable speech, which may mean the beginning of a McLaurin campaign in Georgia with the Gubernatorial chair as the stake. At its conclusion Hon. Martin Calvin secretary of the society took the floor and moved a vote of thanks, which was given with enthusiasm. Mr. Calvin in making the motion said tho society had not listened to such an utterance in fifty years.. Mr. McLendon won a great orator! cal victory. He spoko with ease and completely captivated his audience Thongh thecourthouso was (lacked and tho iieat very great, lie received marked attention for an hoar, after the conven tion had been listening to speeches all day. Mr. McLcudou made no political allu sions. His tone and argument wero those of a platform locturor rather than a politician, and nobody seemed to real ize that a heavy dose of protectionist argument of .tho Joseph Chamberlain variety was being administered with consummate skill toacoustituoncy which has been reared on tho idea that protec tion is the nemo of folly which has been used to the advantage of other sections chiefly by a (lolitical party with which the southern people havo a long score to settle, and that this saiuo protective policy has fostered tho growth ofmo* uo)>oly and class legislation. While 1)0 per cont of tho audieuce wore goiug iuto ruptures over Mr. Mc Lendon's speech a few thoughtful ouos began to woudor what it all meant. Mr. McLoudou. tho apostle and pioneer of a now school of thought and a now sort of (Kditics, backed by tho rapidly growing manufacturing interests of Georgia and the Piedmont region? In other words is this a recrudescence of McLaurinisiu more formidable form than that which caine to so inglorious an end two years ago, when tho senator who started it went down in overwhelming defeat? Mr. McLcudou strenuously denies any political object in making this speech, uud declares it wus merely au academic discussion jof an economic question from the broad view point of the world’s coinmoreo, with a practical The managers of the polls at the 12 vot ing precincts in the connty met at noon in the office of O.

Ho quoted Joo Chamberlain's Cassandra like tqieochoH ou tho inqiendiug dissolu tion of the British empire, and at tho same time gave statistics showing tlio tremendous development of England's Commerce under a free trade policy. Tho reiuarkablo thing is that neither Mr. McLendon nor his audieuce seemed to see the logic of this tremendous success of the policy of Cobdeu and Sir Robert Pool. Tho fact that Mr. McLcudou recently threatened to ruu for governor will prob ably make some (>eoplc connect his speech with ixilitics, however iuuoceut he iuut have bccu of tho intention to start u campaign. In oiN»ning a discussion for -protection he has precipitated an irrepressible con flict w hich is sure to arise when the ne gro is eliminated from politics.
