A negro woman entered the Star Store ou Saturday last, and upon being asked what she most desired in her present condition, replied that she wanted a cor set.

The farmers have had a fine year, as us ual, for growing sw r et.t potatoes and yet they aro se’ling at about one dollar per bushel in ibis market. Almost any land in this section will produce 200 bushels of potatoes per acre, and the cultivation is much easier and cheaper than cotton. It is safe to say that all the sw 7 eet potatoes raised in this section for years, with prop er management, could have been sold at an average of fifty cents per busbel, which bea£s cotton about SBS per acre. And yet the potato crop will be neglected to raise cotton, INDI AN SPRING IN GRIFFIN. No one can visit the Wigwam at Indian Spring and afterwards meet George Col lier without being refreshed by pleasant memories. George spent yesterday in Griffin and wi s kept busy shaking bands and answering questions. He has ar range for having Indian Spring water sold at Dickerson Bro.’s at one cent a glass fresh from the spring. Of course the water will lose much of its but its medicinal properties are wim paired and as health giving as if just taken from the fountain beneath the Wigwam.—Griffin Call. THE SENATORIAL RACE We believe if the election of United States senator were left to a direct vote of the people'f Georgia Hon. A. O. Bacon would be their choice by an overwhelming majority. As it is, we believe he will beeiected by the legis lature on the first ballot. All his op ponents freely admit that he will have a verg decided lead over any other candidate. We have not thesligbtest doubt of his election, because the peo ple of Georgia want him—not the poli ticians, but the people. Avery large majority ot the legislative nominees— gve to one at least —who hax r e received instructions from iheir county mass meetings have been directed to vete for Major Bacon for United States senator. This shows the drift of things—-it shows that the people are for him If by any chance he should he de feated, it will he bv politicians, by log-rolling, and chicanery. Major Bacon is not adept in these meth ods. He is above them. He is sin cere and candid and the soul of I nonor, and is running solely on his merits as a statesman and a true and tried patriot who has never shirked a duty to his state and peo pie When Major Bacon spoke in Mon i ticello, Jasper county, Tuesday, the | meeting reversed their former en dorsement of Judge Turner aid ; overwhelmingly instructed f.,r the ■ statesman from Bibb.

FALSE ALARM! \\ ritten by our Junior while reminiscing: Each week I saw him take a Y And put it in a letter And mail it, and for that I own I liked him all the better! I thought of some dear city home A pationt mother bearing A burden lightened by the thought That he for her was caring. His surly ways and hardened face I easily forgave him, Because of this, his weekly gift, One virtue that could save him. But alas, alack, one early morn My confidence did flicker, As I saw him at the depot With a gallon jug of licker! AND SHE JUMPED. A young couple, newly married, mad their first trip on the cars on their bridal tour. Ihe groom was very solicitous of bis bride’s welfare, and kept a constant lookout for accidents. Presently, as the train went around a curve, the young man saw a fence which he supposed crossed the track. Turning to his fair companion, he said in a frightened tone that could be heard all over the car: “Hold on tight, Nal; she is goin’ to jump a fence!” That’s what our solicitude to them leads us to say to our populist friends: “Lookout, pops; the democratic party is going to jump a fence”—next Wednesday!—Dal ton Argus, VE>ST-POCKET MAPS.

One lesson which will compensate in some measure for the democratic losses in Wednesday’s election, is taught by the result of the late gubernatorial fight. That is that in older to maintain undispu ted .Democratic supremacy in this state, it is necessary that the Democratic party should organize strongly and compactly in every county', in every militia district, so that effective woik can be done on election day, aud every Democrat can be brought to the ballot box. Because the Populists were so organ ized and the Democrats w r ere not, our nor mal majority was cut down and many Democratic constituencies will be repre sented iu the next legislature by Populists. /So far as the material results of the election held TUednesday are concerned, the Democrats have lost nothing. They still have complete control of the state government, It is a fact, however, that the populists feel encouraged and believe they have success in sight. 2 hey will therefore start in to work even more de terminedly from now until the November elections in hopes that they will be able to capture a few members of Congress. MARVELOUS RESULTS. From a letter written by Rev. J. Gun derman. of Dimondale, Mich, w r e aro permitted to make this extract- “I have no hesitancy in recomending Dr. King’s New Discovery, as the results were almost marvelous in the case of my wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist church at Rives Junction she was brought down with pneumonia succeed ing La Grippe. Terrible paroxysms of coughing would last fcr hours at a time with little interruption and ii seemed as if she could not survive them. A friend recommended D-. King’s New r Discovery which was quick in its work and highly satisfactory in results ” Trial bottles free at R. G. Bryans’ drug store. Regu lar size 50c and sl. One d.i}- as I drove along a pleas ant Kentucky road, I came to a larmhouse, and noticing an old time well sweep in the yard, it occurred to me that it would be nice to get a drink there, so I stopped and spoke to a man at the gate, •‘Can I get a drink here?’* I asked with a longing look toward the well, “Sorry, mister, v reponded the Kentuckian, ‘ but there ain't a drop in the place; and I was getting pur-- ty dry myself. v “Isn't there any water in the well?” I repeated. ”Oh, }es, of course,” he blurted out as he hustled oft for the £ourd, “I didn't know you wanted water; I thought you wanted a drink.” NOTICE If you do not settle what you owe us by Oct Ist your notes and accounts will be found in the hands of an officer for collection.

Gjod chewing Tobacco 25c a pound How is that! A COLT SHOW. Let There be a Big Display of Middle Georgia Colts on the 13th. The Call suggested a few weeks since that the number and grade of young colts in /Spalding county would justify having a colt show, where all the colts of this and adjacent counties could be brought in com petition and thus develop a spirit of rival ry that might result ic increasing the inter est m stock raising. Our suggestions met with the cordial endorsement of several of our friends of the county, and will result in a show of colts in Griffin on Saturday the 13th iust. a starter Messrs Thompson & Free man, owners of the famous horse, “Flam', beau,” of Butts county, offers a premium of $25 for the best colt from fheir horse exhibited on that day. Now let other stock men fall into line and offer pre miums, as well as others interested in stork raising, and an interesting exhibit will be made, and many will be surprised at the progress made here in raising fine stock. The exhibit will be in in the court house lot, beginning at 11 o’clock, Saturday morning, October 13th, and it is hoped that every fine colt in 20 miles of Griffin will be brought out. .Judges will be selected to make the awards of all premiums.—Griffin Call. This is a good suggestion, and Butts county should have a colt show, at some early day. The subject of stock raising has been agitating the minds of our people some time, and the sooner less attention is paid to raising cotton and more given to stock raising the better off will be the farmers m this immediate vicinity. Now let’s have a colt show in Jackson at an early day and invite our neighbors to participate in the exhibit. If someone who has the time will take the matter in hand, the Je sus will cheerfully assist them in any way possible by advertising it and getting as many to come as can conveniently do so. TFko will take the matter in charge. FOUR BIG SUCCESSES.

It would not at ail be surprising should the first gentral movement toward the southern states come from men residing in the northern sections rather than from foreign lands. The favorable conditions of the crops throughout the greater portion of the south compared with the very unfavorable situation in many sections of the north and west is calculated to arnst the serious attention of farmers and fruit grow ers. There are hundreds of fami lies who have giyen up in despair and are now leaving the drought stricken regions for more desirable quarters and many of these intend going si uth. The era of land spec ulation is about at an end in the west. The best agricultural areas have been occupiedj prices are too high for those of limited means, who are seeking for homesteads, and the low prices of corn, wheat and other staples of the great prairies indi cate a necssity not only of a change of situation, but of a greater diverei • ty of production. There are millions of acres of cheap and fertile lands throughout the south, and in the specialties of truck gardening and fruit growing very considerable progress is being made by men from the north who have gone out as pioneers. All are not equally successful, but it has been demonstrated that ihe same amount of capital, skill and indus try in general farming or in garden ing and fruit raising in the more desirable portions of the south will yield very satisfactory returns as compared with northern farming. There are disadvantages, but these are compensated for in a large meas ure. If the climate is too hot in summer it is less rigorous in win ter, and clothing and iuel are not *o expensive. Labor is cheap and abundant, if not of the most desira ble kind, and the advantages will be found to fairly offset the draw backs. To those whose ambition is to secure a homestead which will yield them a competency at a small outlay, the south now offers better opportunities than the west. It was not always so, but this seems to be the situation at present. For some years to come the drift will he lrom the large centres of population to the farming regions and in this distribution the south will share lib erally. NEW OPENING, NEW OPENING SPRINGER BROS.
