The Carnesville Railroad.
Wc know that many if not all of
our readers are very anxious to know
the outcome of the effort being made
to obtain a railroad to Carnesville.
AVe hope and believe it will not he
long before wc can announce to them
the final result. AVe ought to get it,
as it is now in our reach if everybody
that is to he henefitted by the road
will do anything like their duty. The
R. & D. Co. have made the survey
and will in a very short time make us
an offer of what they will do the
work for. If their figures are too
high of course we cannot accept them,
but everybody is hoping they " ill be
in our reach. There are sevoral men
around town who have not yet ,sub¬
scribed—men who will he greatly
henefitted. 'They are certainly doing
us much harm. It would be better
fur them to not he known at all than
to he known as being henefitted with¬
out offering any compensation. Those
who have not subscribed will prob¬
ably set* their dangerous influence
and will yet come in and do their
duty. AVe are sure they would feel
much better if they would do so.
Lot everybody do their duty and t In¬
road will be completed by fall.

EDITORIALLY PARAGRAPHED.
Rev. Sam Small wants everybody
to understand that he will be one of
the three who represents Fulton in
the next Legislature.
-♦- ♦ ♦
AValtcr li. Hill, of Macon, and Dr.
AV. II. Felton, of Bartow, are spoken
of as prohibition candidates from their
Congressional (listriets.
Congressman Carlisle, of Kentucky,
has been unanimously elected to the
Senate to till the vacancy caused by
the death of Senator Beck a short
time since.
The Alliance is making a strong
fight for the sub-treasury hill. They
ask for the defects to la- removed
that is in the bill, but that legislation
on this line is a necessity.
Georgia leads the United States in
railroad constructions for the first
four months of this year. Thu next
state is North Carolina and the third
is Virginia. The South is leading
out.
'The Southern Baptist in conven¬
tion at Fort. Worth, Texas, over¬
whelmingly endorsed Kind Words.
The publication is to continue under
a board of nine as the property of the
convention.
Many Congressmen and Senators
will be elected this fall, and the Dem¬
ocrats’ chances for electing the ma¬
jority are good if the Republicans
don’t shut them off through some
Federal election law.
Colonel L, F. Livingston is a lion
among Congressmen. They do not
want to hear him, nor do they want
Imu to hear them. The Colonel is
old enough to know that there is a
tide in the affairs of man.
A bill has been introduced in Con¬
gress giving to the States the right to
regulate the sale of liquor in their
limits. Legislation of this kind is a
necessity since the late decision of
the U. S. Supreme Court, or prohi¬
bition is a failure.
It is being talked that Judge Lump¬
kin will resign from the Superior
Court bench and oppose Judge
Bladdford for the Supreme bench.
If lie should, several names are sjio-
ken of as seeking his present honors.
Among them is John I’. Shannon, of
Elberton.
Rev. Sam Small will make the race
for the Legislature as a prohibition
candidate in Fulton county. The
prohibitionists of Atlanta held a ma-a
meeting and unanimously chose him
as their standard bearer to represent
that county in the next General As¬
sembly, and -Air. Small has agreed to
make the race. Fulton is entitled to
three representatives, and it is likely
that the Rev. Sam will be one of
them.
THE CONGRESSIONAL RACE
la the Eighth-How Franklin County
Will Vote.
We observe that some of the pa¬
pers in this district have the insight
into the political situation in this
county so definitely that they place
her vote in certain columns, without
hinting that she might belong to the
doubtful column. We believe we
know as much about the way the
voters of this county will vote as any
one outside of the county does, and
we are certain that nine-tenths of
them do not know who they will sup¬
port. Neither of the two candidates
that have announced themselves has
ever been before our people. We
know nothing of their personality
and but very little of their records,
and to put us down in certain col¬
umns without an intelligent hearing
from tlic candidates on the leading
issues of the times is a grand insult
to our intelligence. It is true that
we only count two in the nominating
convention, but we are looking for¬
ward to the time when we will count
four, and whether we ever have this
justice done us or not wo will he as
watchful as to who gets our little t wo
as if we counted a big dozen. There
will be an issue in this county and
most certainly a leading one if this
congress adjourns without passing
certain laws. This will he prohibi¬
tion. Under the late decision (if the
Supreme Court of the United States
in regard to tin* Iowa authorities
seizing liquors shipped from another
state makes the whole country prac¬
tically anti-prohibition, and this state
of affairs will not suit the growing
prohibition sentiment of the country.
It seems that prohibitionists, anti-
prohibitionists, newspapers, and all
are a little afraid to speak out on the
matter, but it is going to come soon¬
er or later, and in such proportions
that it will he the leading issue of
tlic country. The people are getting
tired of “unconstitutional.” It is get¬
ting to where if you touch a fellow’s
pocket or his selfish interests he hol¬
lo’s out, “unconstitutional.” AVe
want men in congress who will make
matters that effect the welfare of the
whole country constitutional.
What Ben Terrell Say3.
The AA'asliington correspondent of
the Atlanta Constitution interviewed
a number of Alliancemen the other
day, and Ben Terrell had the follow¬
ing to say about the relation between
the Alliance and political parties:
“AVe do not trade with any party.
AVe are more patriots than partisans.
We are tired of sacrificing the inter¬
ests of tin* people for party. AVe
have got nothing to do with the dem¬
ocratic party. AA’e are in favor of
alliance measures. Where a state is
democratic, we want t*> elect such
democrats as will work in the interest
of measures promulgated by the alli¬
ance in convention. The republican
members of this order will make the
same effort to send men here who
are friends of the people, rather than
friends of a party. AVe are inde¬
pendent, and we claim by that inde¬
pendence that we hold the balance of
power that we could not hold by
starting a third party. Therefore,
the cry of a third party is ridiculous.
I would not lie surprised in -Arkan¬
sas, in closely contested districts, if
some indi-pendendents did not come
to congress. However, such men
will act strictly as independents hero,
with either party that supports the
measures or will of the peojde. The
alliance discourages nominations in
the alliance. In fact it prohibits it,
for the reasons that if we attempt of¬
fice-making. we would invit e into our
order th broken-down politicians and
demagogues, who find no prospect
for office in*eithcr of the other par¬
ties. Another reason is that we are
secret, and do not approve of secret
politial organizations. Again, a can¬
didate nominated by the alliance
would be a class candidate, and there¬
fore would he opposed.”

H)n. V. I. Northern's Views,
The Sparta Islunaelite publishes
an interview with Hon. AY. J. North¬
ern which shows that the candidate
for Governor of Georgia is a broad
and conservative man. Among other
things Mr. Northern says: “I am ab¬
solutely opposed to granting any
rights to any corporation that makes
encroachments upon the reserved
rights of the people or the interests
of the masses. I would he glad to
see all corporations under the fullest
protection of the law go forward suc¬
cessful! to the development of the
State, but I would not he willing nor,
if in office, would I ever consent to
see them advance one step upon the
rights of the people. The first bill I
ever introduced and pressed to pass¬
age in the General Assembly looked
to the restraining of corporations in
the interest of the people. It is the
duty of the State to protect all class¬
es of its citizens and give undue ad¬
vantage to none. If am made Gov¬
ernor 1 will he absolutely free to con¬
sider any application or any applica¬
tion or any appeal and decide the is¬
sues as in my judgment may he for
the good of the State and the interest
of the people—free from promise,
prejudice or power to he exercised
by any living man.”
Mckinley Comes High.
The New York Herald says: “Un¬
der the present tariff and before we
get to McKinley prices, American
axes cost -American citizens $7.70 per
dozen, but the same axes are sold by
the same American manufacturers to
foreigners for $0.75 per dozen. A
plough for which the American farm¬
er is (barged by the American man¬
ufacturer 811, is sold to foreigners by
the same manufacturer for 88.10. A
plough ior which the American man¬
ufacturer charges Ills fellow citizen,
the American farmer, $5.00, the same
manufacturer sells to a foreigner for
$5.04. For a gang-plough the Amer¬
ican manufacturer charges the Amer¬
ican farmer $58.80, but he charges
the foreigner only $52.92. For a
dozen shovels the American manu¬
facturer charges his fellow citizens
$9.20, but he lets the farmer have
them for $9.80.”
