Tim nvcjorm continues to get. in its work In different portions of the country. Georgia sold her bonds at par and pays only three and a half pur cent, \ per annum, The Atlanta people claim the Pied¬ mont exposition this year will be the best they have ever had. Larry Gantt, of the Athens Hau¬ lier, will probably make the race fot LOligiesi. from this district. The people demand and expect too lllliell from legislation. What we need Is more work and less law. Gen. Clement A, Evans will make tin* race foj» Governor, lie is said to have a war record equal to Governor Gordon’#, Co-operation has become so popu¬ lar since Rcllamy’s “Looking Hack- ward” appeared that cg-upcration ho¬ tels are being established.

The Allitnmi of the State Vttiwr- eity propose to raise a fund to endow u chair in the University of Georgia to be known as the Henry Grady yhair of political science and history. The AA'asliington correspondent of the Atlanta Journal writes his paper that Dr. Carlton Is being strongly urged by numerous letters from hi- constituency to again make t)ie for Congress. T'liose who talk about the horny handed son# of toil and protend to advocate their interests without know¬ ing how should be waited on by a committee of sensible farmers and re¬ quested to let up. * -T * T The AVostern & Atlantic railroad will very likely give tbp next I.cgis- latiire more trouble.

The people J ’•■.MlUii) <MI0lly lire alive to their fciiirromidings fto 4 fti’o stirring them- selves in such an admirable manner that the|r efforts are certain to meet with success. Our farmers are pot like those we read of in other sec¬ tions who have became tired and dis¬ satisfied with their occupation and arc seeking the towns and other <>e* cupations, hut they arc contented and delighted with tlieir outlook and cir¬ cumstances and expect to make the most of them. A large portion of the county is beginning to see what great benefits will be derived from a railroad to Uarnesville, and nearly every fair-minded man is willing to subscribe something. Thu agricul¬ tural development demands the road shall be built that the best results may be obtained from the farmers’ labor. The farmers of this county have made up their minds, and there is not the least probability that they will change them that they will make this one of the very best places to live in the country. They are fixed in tlieir determination to become itt- dependant, and to reach this point they will take advantage of e very honorable line of economy, If the railroad be completed the expect to at once put up a guano factory and cotton seed oil mill, arid probably other manufactories at this place. Then there i.s a strong interest mani¬ fested on every side (o improve out schools so that the boys and girls of Franklin county will not have to leave home to get a practical and use¬ ful education--in short, the people as a whole are anxious to give their patronage and money to their home county instead of sending them away as heretofore, These high aims are worthy of the .success they will cer¬ tainly meet if our people will cling together. There are no better lands in the state than cmrs, there is no better citizenship in the South than Ours, and all we need to make us eon- spicouously prosperous is pluck and (ittrsevui'ftiicc* ——*- —-» Let Us Have a Free and Open Hacc. There has been an under-current of inquiry* being carried on through¬ out the county for several months to ascertain, if possible, who was the most available man to represent this county in the next Legislature, We have watelied the still limit with con- siderable interest and have kept in- formed as to the general and iinjmr- taut developments, and not hesitate to say that no man in the county can claim oven half of the support of the county. The only way to find out who is the choice of the people under most circumstances is to let the as- pirants have a free and open fight. The greatest danger to this plan is that where there are several worthy ispiianlii, that a had man advocating bad principles might enter the race and control a vote sufficient to elect him. Such circumstances would de- maud ;i Cinupioiuco on tlm part of the more worthy candidates, AYe hope there is nothing to fear from the exception. There are usually is¬ sues to he made, and we believe a candidate's view# should be open for attack and vindication, and do not think a man can fairly claim the suf¬ frage of the people without ;;n intcl- I lif-vnt r- disc.iiDsioii of issues and an un- irammelled expression at the ballot box. So let us have a free anil upon race. State Commissioner of Agriculture. AYo have heard very little ex-pros- sion from the people of this county in reference to the candidates for the office of State Commissioner of ciilture. T'lie office Is an one and should be tilled by* a good man, It is tho first time the office bas been elective by the people, and Bits actv.unt the people may* neg- lect to look into the capacity and in tegritv of the cjtudi'.la.tes as they should.

Ac¬ cepting the estimate of the census of 1880 that tlic assessed value is only M per cent of the true value, we find that the South gained over §3,000,* 000,000 in property during that short period, In 1880 its production of pig iron was only 307,301 tons. It 1880 it was 1 ,500,702 tons. The progress in this industry is going on at an accel¬ erated pace, furnaces capable of turn¬ ing out over a million tons annually* being now under construction or con¬ tracted for in the region, Alabama, according to the* Hon. Abram S. Hewitt, possesses riches in iron which “threaten the majesty of the north¬ ern iron and coal fields;” and “only the southern sluggard 1ms hitherto given tlic race to the north.” In 18X2 the South produced 0,509,- old tons of coal. In 188!) the out¬ put was 10,41)7,418 tons. The coal fields of the South, extending from Wheeling in West Virginia, to north¬ ern -Alabama, are practically inex¬ haustible. The production of cotton was 2,*200,3 Id hales in 18(if>; in 1888 it was O/tii*',200, and for the present year it is estimated at 7,‘27)0,000 bales. In other words, the Hontli is now pro¬ ducing about 7,000,000 out of the 10,000,000 to ! 1,000,000 bales which constitute the whole cotton crop of the world. Freedom is doing far better than slavery in the raising of the great staple. The number of spindles in cotton manufactories at tlu* South was only 157,854 in 1880. In 1889 it was 235, ‘208. The number of mills during the same period has increased from 101 to 855. The increase in the production of grain between 1879 and 1889 was over 220,000,000 bushels, and the percentage was much greater than in the rest of the Union. Those statistics, borrowed from the .Manufacturers' Record, show marvel- oils progress and development. They show also a people orderly, peaceful, iudust rums and harmonious; and they [ j, n , vo t iiut. the race problem is rail practically the serious trouble so Itl;)I iy 0 f them imagine. White and V>luc*k are getting on wonderfully well together and together are enjoying | the great prosperity of a region whose development has only begun.—New York Sun. The prohibitionists have a right to complain that the publishers ajid ed¬ itors of the Grady Memorial book have not done justice to the great prohibition orator by leaving out en¬ tirely bis great speeches for the cause. Here is what Mr. Grady wrote the night after prohibition was defeated in Atlanta (lie last time: “AA’hen oveiythtiig else I have said or done is forgotten, I want the words 1 have spoken for prohibition in At¬ lanta to be vrmrqibered. I am proud¬ er of my share in tho campaign that lias ended in its defeat than of my share in all other campaigns that have ended in victory. I espoused its cause deliberately*, and 1 have worked for fta success night and day to the very best of my ability. Ajy °nly regret is that my ability was not | .greater. 1 he book is incomplete without the above, Henry AVaterson does not believe in “booms,” In a speech to the Southern l’ress Association at Churls- ton ;i few days ago, he said: “AVhen- ever and wherever you see a ‘boom,’ hit it. AY lion over and wherever von soy a 'boomer,' spot him, The‘boom' is the devil’s own invention, first to rob the victim oi‘his money and the ‘booiner’ of lus sold. Cities are not built hy •hooniers,’ et = ntr;es are advanced hy them. 'hey are the merest artificial stimulants compound- ( -d of brandy, printer's ink and mid- night, and as fatal to the community to which they are applied as a dyn:<- mite sK*H, Tn’C prosperity* is the diffusion of wealth, cheap homes tor the poor and opportunities for ail,” —*•■ 8»f -W- It is now said that Gol. Livingston w’dl make tlie race against for the Semite. . The Democrats combine t<> gain in the northwest, The Tariff Debate, The character of the first day’s de¬ bate on the tariff bill almost excuses the republican determination to have as little of discussion as possible. No party should he expected to allow it- H' lf to he made ridiculous, if it can help it, even though to escape ridl- culc it mtist wrong its opponents. Mr. McKinley's defense of his own bill was absolutely pitiable. Ho shewed himself just as weak in the House as when, in the committee, he allowed himself to be made the foot- ball of contending interests, putting on and taking off taxes in response to the demands of those who kicked him last. When he defended free hides those who heard him knew that ho would have defended taxed hides just as readily, if the shoo men had pot forced him to take the tax off hides a few hours before the bill was reported. When he spoke in praise of the sugar bounty everybody knew that it w;is a policy forced upon hint, another policy having been adhered to for months and only abandoned at the last moment. They knew, too, that since that change was forced upon him the value of sugar trust shares had advanced $7,000,000 in the markets. It is not at all wonderful that at the close of Mr. McKinley’s speech his republican colleagues should vo¬ ciferously demand a vote, leader, the author of their tariff hill, could say so little, then they could expect nothing but hurt in debate. It were better to have done with the monstrous abortion in the shortest time and with the least shame possi¬ ble. The crime against the people would be the same whether commit¬ ted at once or at the end of eight days. Mr. Mills, who followed, has more of the characteristics of a successful stump speaker than is common in great debater*; but be had no fliffi- eulty in pointing out the absurdities and false pretenses of the McKinley bill. That would have been an task for a much weaker man than Mills. They are so patent, so obtru¬ sive, that the wonder is that intelli¬ gent republicans can pretend net to sec them.— Macon Telegraph. At the meeting of the Georgia Teachers’ Association at Columbus a few days ago there was a resolution passed instituting a muling circle on the C hatagnano plan for the teachers of Georgia, covering a three years course in pedagogy, history, science an>l history. There is said to he ah.m! eighty per cent, of the Georgia teachers that have only a high school education, and by this means they wiil be able to cam* on their profes- .-ion and graduate in these courses h ‘ three years. ♦ • ♦ Tlie iU'lIi Sunday and 2!)t!s day of .Tune will be a grand day for prohibi¬ tion in Georgia, The A Yemen's t'hrbtian Temperance Union, while in session at Atlanta last week passed resolutions requesting the pastors of all churches in the State to preach on the subject of prohibition of the liquor traffic on that day. The number of strikers in the coun¬ try on May J st was about iff),000. There were 100 strikes in -April in forty-six cities. Two Adairsvitle gentlemen have just settled a hog litigation.
