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.” ♦ ♦ - The negroes of Atlanta have or¬ ganized a Real Estate Loan and Trust company. AA’herever the white man blazes the way the negro follows. -A ramie fiber company lias just been formed in New Orleans, with a capital of $300,000. Col. Wed C. Foster has withdrawn from the race for Congress in this district. — —.♦ - General James Longstroet will at¬ tend the unveiling of the Lee monu¬ ment. The Southern Baptist will next convene in Birmingham, Ala. Subscribe for The Estuiu-kise. 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.” ALLIANCE PICNIC. To be Held at Franklin Springs on May the 31st. AV. A. Royston & Son have ex¬ tended to the Royston Farmers’ Alli¬ ance a kind and cordial invitation to picnic at the famous Franklin Springs during the spring season. Upon sounding the vote of said Alliance it lias been decided to accept the invi¬ tation, and it has further been de¬ cided to hold the picnic at May 81st.
