TOM WATSON AT HARMONY GROVE-
Congressman Thomas £. Watson
speaks toaday at Harmony Grove,
and will doubtless have a large au
dience. His speech will be in advo
cacy of the principles of the Alliance
it is presumed. Col. Watson is go
ing into ground held sacred to"de
mocracy and will in all probability
keep the third party side of his
mouth shut during his speech and
talk with the democratic side.
Col. Watson says he is as good a
democrat as breathes the breath of
life, and for the time
around Jackson county
ter stick pretty close
Old Jackson county is trained in
the arena of democracy and knows
how to put independents to sleep.
And she would not hesitate to treat
third partyites in like manner.
We believe Col. Watson is trying
to get back into
anyhow. Come along, Colonel, the. . „ . , •, . ,

On thefiret day of last June accord
ing to the resolution of the commission
in charge of affairs, the negro college
was temporarily located in Athens in
theBaxter street school building.
The purpose of establishing it there
were two-fold, to get' the college in
good condition, and to help
adjust the differences existing
between Governor Northen and Secreta
ry N. ble in regard to the distribution of
the Morrill bill fund for education.
Roth of these purposes have been sub
served. The college is moving along
smoothly and the differences have been
adjusted.

them. They have vastly improved
themselves and are ail the better off for

harmoniously. There has been no

And tbe prize to be won is the may

At least it looks that way now, and
the probability is that it will be so.
Yesterday in discussing the proba
bilities of the coming race
the name of Hon. Henry C. Tuck, ex
representative from Clarke in the Gen
eral Assembly was mentioned, and it
took exceedingly well.
It is not known whether Mr. Tuck
haa ever been approached on this' sub
ject, but his friends say they are going
to use their best endeavors to get him to
enter the race.
'He may or may not enter the lists,
but if he does‘there will he a lively
soramble for the position. Everybody
ih Athens tmd Clarke county knows
what kind of a fighter he is.
Mr.Tuokisone of thebrainiest young
men'of the city and has, on more occa
sions than one demonstrated his abili
ty and strength.
He very ably represented the county
of Clarke for one term in the legisla
ture of Georgia and there won many
golden opinions for his vigorous work
on many measures.
He would make Athens a good may
or.
And again Capt W. R. Burnett
wonld make a good mayor. He has not
as yet decided to enter the race, but
his < friends ■ on all sides
are urging him to make the race. He
is one of onr most progressive citizens,
and if he makes the race, he will put
up as lively a fight for his opponent
as a man generally gets into.
Mayor Brown is stall in the flght,in fact
the only avowed candidate as yet. In
regard to his fitness for the office and
his capabilities to carry out its requir-
menta, let his record for tbe past two
years tell. He has made a good Mayor
and of course if re-elected would
repeat his record.
So here you have three young, active,
brainy, and vigorous citizens of Athens
suggested for the office of Mayor.

win?

The negro college of Georgia closed

Addresses were made to the schoo>l

V. Glarke.
The College opens again In Savannah
on the first of October under flatter
ing auspices.
Professor Wright, the president of
the college, is now making a tour of
the state in the interest of the

times during the last ,month, Professor

Views of Commercial Experts
Very Hopeful.
Are
In last Sunday’s Constitution was an
article on tbe business outlook, and it
w ill bear reading over and over again.
1c was gotten up by Messrs Nichols and
Holliday advertising agents of the Con
stitution whose business extends all
over the Union. They are thrown
with all kinds of business in all seotions
of the country. They sought to find
out how tbe business pulse was beat
ing all over the country and they pro
posed to each one the question, “what
are the .prospects and general outlook
for business this fall ?”
The replies almost unanimously
hopeful, give a great variety of reasons
for the feeling of confidence which is
shown to be so pronounced in almost
every part of the country.
Taken all in all this comprehensive
sot of interviews Bbow that tbe outlook
is very hopeful.
