FOR REPRESENTATIVE: 11ENRY C. TUCK. GROWTH OF IRON INTERESTS. Tlie growth of the iron interests has hail a marked effect in stimulat ing railroad construction, and next year the sooth will make 1,800,000 tons of pig iron, against 397,381 tons in 1880. The traffic in coke, ore and iron, developed by this business will fur nish the southern railroads in 1889 over 12,000,000 tons of freight, which is equal in volume to the eutire wheat crop of the country, and seven times as great as the cotton crop. “Truth and falsehood walk side 11Y SIDE THROUGH OUR STREETS AND viek and virtue* meet and pass KY Ell V HOUR OP THE DAY. T1IE IiUT op Hi'; starving stands in the SHADOW OP THE PALACE OF THE WEALTHY, AND THE CARRIAGE OP Dives every day throws the dust PROM ITS OI.IT .’BRING WHEELS OVER THU TATTERED GARMENTS OP LAZA RUS.” jl Its presiding genius is General', Stephen D. Lee, a gallant Confederate j officer, an accomplished scholar, a , courtly gentleman; a Christian man. ; With fewer resources than most in- i stitutions of its kind commanded, \ ailroads. under his guidance it has achieved what no other lias yet accomplished —undoubted success. It would be difficult to find a more competent chancellor than this modest Missis- sippian. He has demonstrated his worth. His heart, soul and body are devoted to the cause of education, and the University and Georgia would be singularly fortunate if they could secure him as chancellor. The writer does not know but he could he secured. It is certainly worth the trouble of ascertaining. He is not an impossible man, as far as general infornlhtion extends. His present office is onerous, responsible, and his compensation is poor com pared with his service. The Chan cellorship of the University of Geor gia is a position of great honor and intiiicnce, and its salary is greater than that now received by General Lee. The great difficulty in the way per- | naps will te to read him from the I institution that his own hands have I btiilded, and which he loves with that affect.,,. that the parent accords to the child. As an old Alumnus, as a patriotic Georgian, as a friend to higher edu cation, the writer nominates General Stephens D. Lee, of Mississsippi, for Chancellor, and with all earnestness asks the board of Trustees to set on foot the proper inquiries looking to wards the possibility of his candidacy. An Alumnus. issue bonds to build a new ^ house. Only sixty-two votes v. cast against the proposition. Oni hundred thousand of bonds will 1. issued.

One of these days we shall have to make peace .wit Ii Canada, as the woman did with the persistent man. She married him. Dr. T. 11. Gibbs, of Morgan county has formally accepted the nominati for Senator from the 2Stli Senatorial J lisfrict of Georgia. Cill. K. M. Johnson is said to have $2,<HH) worth of Manuscript in the hands of Harpers, paid fur at the rate of $300 per story. There are 15 daily newspapers in New York City supporting Cleveland and Thurman, while there arc only three for 11arrison and Morton. That is a good indication. The yellow fever situation in Jack, sonville is not so gloomy as it lias been, though an increased number of cases are expected as soon as the weather becomes warmer. The bowels of our American earth are full of coal. "We .ought to trans fer a huge section of it to the holds of American steamships, and send tiicso steamers to all parts of the world. Free coal! Free ships! Samuel L. Clemens who under tlie nom-de-plume of Mark Twain is known and liked by everybody, will ;n a short while publish a new book. The title is not yet know but it is presumed that the humorous side of American politics will receive full at tention. The recent heavy rains have en' tailed it loss to our farmers directly and to the whole people indirectly. The cotton crop has lost fully 25 per cent., the end is not yet. We can only hope that the prob able increase in price will to a certain extent make good this loss. Mr. Turner Y. l’owderly is said to be a candidate for the position of com missioner of labor, the salary of which has been increased, necessitiating a new appointment. It is not likely that any change will be made. Col. Cartel 1>. Wright, the present com missioner, is a low tariff Republican and an expert from the beginning up. Nobody can take bis place. It is a historical fact that no man has ever been elected Preside nt of the United States, who made speeches in his own behalf during tlie cam paign, and there are many who trace the decline of Blaine's influence tour years ago to the day he made the first address on his tour through New York. I/el Harrison take warning. The hand writing is already on tlie walk At last we are to have a navy And thanks to the Democratic rule and Democratic advanced ideas that the country has been awakened to the iiiqairtanee of our coast defences, ar.d of a navy to protect our commerce. The seven new vessels are a fair start towards placing our maritime strength on a par with the other great nations of the world. The Farmers of the country can sea who are inclined to legislate in their interest by reading (bo Record. Last week while the Republicans of the Senate finance committee, who were preparing the Republican tariff bill were working to keep the baggiLg dutiqsr just where they are, the Dem- ocrats of the House committee on manufacturers were arranging for a special meeting, with ‘a view to rec- mmeudiug to the House action de signed to break up the trust. The report is again in circulation that Secretary Whitney will soon rc- k sign from the cabinet. Indeed, it is stated’ in some quartsrs that he will not return to his department from his present vacation except to write his annual report. It is is well to remem ber that reports of this sort have been circulated periodically ever since Mr. Cleveland formed his cabi net, and yet the cabinet has held to gether remarkably well. Of the seven members, only two have resigned. Mr. Manning resigned because his health broke down, and Mr. Lamar liecanse he was appointed associate justice of the supreme court. ' Why should the manufacturers be hotter cared for than the farmers? The cotton growers are not demand- * 'jng any protection, and yet they com pete with the cheapest labor iu the w0 Jdd. \Ye have the figures for 1885- C atTuuid. 'lo India, Egypt and Bra zil 2214,000 bides were produced, and 7,480,000 bales in the IJunited States. These figures are on thejv« <* 400 pounds to the bale. And, by way, this is the only sensible way mating a crop. Some standard weight HwWte<:‘Uli>he.l, and the pounds E fanners ge» , without any protl Id do belt WISE IN NEW YORK- The removal to New York of John 8. Wise, the most prominent anti-Ma- lione republican of the state of Yir- ginia, seems to gome extent, say3 the World, to have removed to this me tropolis, where it may providently be lost sight of, the once famous but not futile Wise-Mahon battle for political supremacy iu tlie Old Dominion. Nearly everybody who reads the daily papers and the comic weeklies know what Mahone looks like. He is gen erally represented as a bearded cross between a jKirrot and a dwarf. ••Johnny” Wise as lie is sailed at re publican headquarters, is a dumpy lit tle man with a bij* head, a square fore head and jaw, a keen blue eye and a smoothly-shaven face. He has never been sufficiently hirsute to lose a cer tain youthful look, although lie is now over 4(1. Hi; is the son of that dig nified, sterling and stalwart old demo crat, Henry A. AVise, whose shade must have a “conniption fit” frequent ly these days when it peers over the battlements of the democratic heaven and sees the first born and heir of the old war governor’s honors fraternizing with the “boys” of a party made up in Virginia of white men who have lost caste and colored men who have not been able to lose color! AFRICAN EXPEDITION- Another expedition is about to start for Africa, the object being to explore an immense section of terri tory on the east coast, granted by the sultan of Zanzibar to an English cor poration, and to develop the rich trade of the interior. The success which lias attended the efforts of Russia to open up Central Asia seems to have awakened the people of Eu rope to the fact that Africa offers in many ways a field for the exercise of modern pluck and energy; and, al though many obstructions arc likely to be met with, there is hope that the Dark Continent may soon be brought under tlie influence of civilization. AA’hcn it is considered that not until it c latter half of the nineteenth cen- | tury was the world aware how slight is the obstacle between civilization and the broad natural highway through the dark region of Africa, the wonder is that so much should already have been done to prepare the conti nent for the operations of commercial enterprise. Of the 70,000,000 feet of lumber included in the Conncticut River Lumber Company’s last drive of logs, which have recently passed over Bel lows Falls, 7,000,000 feet stoppad at Bellows Falls to become paper. Rust is playing havoc in the South, eru part of the State, with the cotton crop. It is now thoughr that the en tire crop will be ruined by tlie cater pillars. Those have appeared in j conntless numbers and great fears are uow entortaiued of the damage they will ilo. The youug men arc-coming to the front in politics in Massachusetts as well as elsewhere. Mr. AVm. E. Rus sel, who was nominated the other day by the democrats for govet nor of that State, is only 31 years old, but lie owes bis nomination to the fact that he has the wisdom of much older men. The country hasn’t suffered yet by bringing the young men for ward. HIL-L.ivi^_ ' Taliaferro Co., Ga.

She is now Drying to get the Grand Army of the Republic to hold their next annual meeting there. A large delegation of promi nent Atlantians have left for Colum bus, Ohio, where the G. A. R. is now in session and they report that success lias almost crowned their efforts. It will be a good thing not only for the “Gate City” hut for the South a» it will bring several thousand deni zens of the Blizzard region to the South where they will be able to com pare their home state with the “Em pire State of tne South.” There is no danger of Georgia being “tried in the balance and found wanting.” We confidently predict that a number of new citizens will be secured by this means. Athens will try to come in for her share. ANOTHER CONE WRONG- “William T. Fixer, a colored em ployee of the pension office, has x-e- signed and fled from the city in dis grace. Fizer, who was a graduate of Howard University, was on duty in the office of the medical referee, where lie drew $1,600 a year. He was one of tlie most trusted employ ees of the office. He was of very’ light complexion, and was anxious to pass as a white man. Recently lie obtained an introduction into a white family to whom he represented him self as a Portugese. In a short time lie proposed mar riage to tlie daughter of the house. Her parents went to the pension office, where they were horrified to to learn that Fizer was a colored man with a wife and several children. Fizer succeeded in eluding the angry father, wrote his resignation and hur riedly left the city. „ THE PRESIDENT'S LETTER. Grover Cleveland’s letter formally acceating the nomination was given to the press Sunday. It is a remarkably clear, able and forcible document meeting every issue now Ill-fere the people fairly and squarely. In it he says. “I endorse the Democratic platform thus presented, with the de termination that if 1 am again called to the chief magistracy, there shall be a continuance of devoted endeavor to advance the interests of the entire country.” In this letter he shows leavly the necessity of Tariff Reform; advocates restriction of immigration and the protection of our workingmen. Trusts come in for their share of de served condemnation and '.are called rightly in “devices to wrong the people.”It is emphatically a Cleve land document—fearless and to the point.
