Mary Anderson says she will never
appear before the foot-lights again.
She is engaged to young Xavaro.
Georgia leads the South in railroad
building. She is expected to com¬
plete more miles this year than any
year in her history.
Peter Jackson, an Australian ne¬
gro, has accepted an offer from the
California Athletic Club to fight Jno.
L. Sullivan for $20,000.
If Colonel E. T. Brown, of Alli¬
ens, should decide that he wanted to
go to Congress from this district he
would mix it mightily with the boys.
The report that the Alliance and
Knights of Labor are dickering with
the Republicans, and would thereby
break the Solid South, is without
foundation.
l)r. Holmes is free. After an
eight days’ trial lie has liecn acquitted
fi>r the killing of Dr. Allgood, his
brother-in-law, near Rome, Ga., a
few months ago.
Clarke county’s quartette of aspir¬
ants to represent her in the next
house of representatives ought to
make tilings lively through the dull
summer months.
Hon. J. T. Henderson’s opponents
are making it rather warm for that
gentleman. Mr. Henderson’s record
as Commissioner of Agriculture lias
not been very enviable.
The high waters of the Mississippi
have done great damage to the coun¬
try along its course through Louis¬
iana and Mississippi, and it is feared
that the w orst has not yet come.
The four greatest houses engaged
in publishing school books in this
country have formed a combination—
D. Appleton & Co., Van Antwerp,

and Ivison, Blakcman & Co.
Judge Ciisp, of Georgia, will, it is
thought, be appointed to fill Con¬
gressman Randall's {dace on the Com¬

him in direct lime for the Speaker¬
ship—if the next house should be
Democratic.
It is claimed that Mr. William E.
Jackson, of Augusta, has made a dis¬
covery by which the cotton stalk will
furnish covering for the entire cotton
crop at a much less cost than jute,
and is equally as strong. He will fit
up machinery at that place, and also
in every State that grows cotton.

The Congressional race in the

if not more no, than in the Eighth.
Judge James R. Brown has already
announced his candidacy, hut many
are a little in doubt as to whether he
can down the Rev. Thai! Picket or
not, and therefore are still looking to
see if they have a stronger man. Mr.

Secretary of .Agriculture J.
Rusk has given out a letter for puli-
lication in which he demands that thc
principle of protection be extended
to the farmer. He thinks the admir-
al-le protective system would remove
id 1 depressions in agriculture, if the
farmers were protected as
Goers. He is entitled to his opinion,
but the majority of the farmers de-
sire the word protection erased from
legislation.

Athiint, Ha., April 20, 1X90,—Mr.
.1. S. Dortch, Carnesville, Garncs-
villc, Hu.—Dear Sir: Please say to
the committee who wrote to .Mr.
Berkeley relative to the narrow gauge
road , from .. (arnesville to Bowcasvillc,
that if they wiildo everything except
to put the iron on, or raise money
enough , to do , everything ,. except
*
iron on, the R. A D. will put the iron
on, equip it and operate it in connec¬
tion with the Hartwell road, provided
the ( arnesville stockholders will turn
over all the stock to the I{. & D. R.
R. Co. Please let me hear wliat your
people think of this. Very truly,
Pol'E Baukow.
Small Farm*.
Every man with a family in Frank-
lin county should form a resolution
to own at least twenty-five acres of
land. Small farms is the foundation
of agricultural prosperity. Twenty-
five acres for cultivation and ten
aeres of forest for wood will sustain
tlio average family. This statement
may look unreasonable to those who
own one hundred and fifty or two
hundred acres, and yet barely make
a living. The trouble is with them
they have too much, and depend on
the land to make a maintenance in¬
stead of their brains and lalnir. The
farmers of France are said to be the
most prosperous of any class of farm¬
ers in the world. The secret of their
success is that very nearly all own
small farms and are the most scien¬
tific farmers in the world. Large
farms cultivated by tenants is not a
sound foundation for general pros¬
perity. We need more small farms,
more land owners, and more scien¬
tific farming.
Mr. F. C. Foster's Announcement.
Madison, Ga., April 24, 1890.—
To the People of Eighth Congression¬
al District: Yielding to the earnest
and repeated solicitations of numerous
friends and citizens of Morgan, my na-
live county, I have consented to allow
my name to go before the democratic
nominating convention for member of
congress from this district, and I take
this method of replying to the many
ietters which I have received on the
subjcct. For expressions of kindness
eon.ipliiiientarv toinvseif which nwnv
of you have been pleased to make,
and the strong assurance of your
support, I am profoundly gratified.
Should I be elected to congress, I
promise the eighth district an indus¬
trious and faithful discharge of the
duties which thc trust imposes, and
which the people have a right to de¬
mand from their representative.
Respectfully, F. C. Fortkil
Give the People Your Views.
If the candidates for State and
National offices arc to lie required to
give their views on financial legisla¬
| tion based on the theory contained in
I the Vance bill or sub-treasury hill,
the discussion will doubtless bring
()U t one of the nicest issues that the
country has had for some time. But
it is alright. There seems to he verv
who know anything about the
country's financial wants, and an in-
i telligont discussion will give the poo-
pl« a better idea of our money sys-
though we fear some of the can-
: didates will have to retire or bog to be
j excused their when they are asked to give
views.

the newspiifK*rs he had seen so much
of the love the people of the North
bear for the colored man that he eon-

was pretty well treated. The people
there called him ‘Mr.’ and shook
hands with him, and talked polities
with him as if he were an equal, but
nobody seemed anxious to have Sam
work for him. After awhile all of
his money was gone, and he then oon-

always with the same result—every¬

him any food. For two or three
days he didn’t have anything to eat,
until finally he came to a place where
a man was out in the front yard mow¬
ing grass. To him he told the story
of leaving Texas, of his bad luck in

The Vance Bill.
Colonel Polk, president of the
tional Farmers' Alliance, went
the Senate Committee on
a few days ago in behalf of the
introduced by Senator Vance to
vide for a system of warehouses
farm products throughout the coun¬
try, to be operated by the
ment, which is to issue its notes
deposits of grain, etc., therein.
Polk read a long article which

ers’ Alliance an i lndustrcal

progress

behalf of the Vance bill, and argued
that the opposition to the bill which
was based on the fluctuations of pro¬

would not deteroate that much. lie
cited instances where the system pro¬

I
! It will be seen elsewhere that Fred
C. Foster, of Madison, Morgan coun-
ty, has entered the field with Lawson
aud Colley, and will ask the people of
this district to send him to the next
Congress. All three of the declared
candidates are said to he good men.
They will all Ik: around to see our
people in due time, but if many more
come out along the lower line of the
district the upper counties will have
to put out a man in self-defense.
Each of the trio is stangers to the
most of our voters, and will therefore
have an equal showing. We prom-
iso them all a respectful hearing when
they see proper to present their
claims.
