The “original package decision” is causing considerable trouble in Kan¬ sas. The International Typographical Union will meet in Atlanta on the 9th of June. George XV. Scott, of Atlanta, has donated $49,000 to the Presbyterian seminary at Decatur, Ga. The New York World and Athens Banner are championing tho cause of the Louisiana State Lottery. Ex-President Cleveland has ac¬ cepted an invitation to attend the ox- jiosition at Dallas, Texas, this fall. It is thought by some that the Re¬ publicans will jmt out candidates for Congress in every district iu the State. The State Democratic Convention has been called for August 7th to nominate a man for Governor of Georgia. Different portions of the state of New York were Bkaken uj> consid¬ erably by an earthquake the 2f)th instant. Hon. Felix Corput, cx-president of the State Exchange of the Farmers’ Alliance, will very probably make the race for Congress in the Seventh. It is hoped that a Supreme Court decision will not destroy the great victories of prohibition. Such decis¬ ions arc unjust to a prohibition state. Col. L. F. Livingston says nothing but the people believe that he will make the race for Congress in the Fifth against Judge Stuart, the pres¬ ent incumbent. Mat Davis’ nomination for post¬ master at Athens has been confirmed. Mat will sell postage stamps to the good people of Athens as chcaji as they can be bought anywhere. Judge Lawson and Mr. Colley are 6aiJ to hold about the same opinion on matters of legislation with the ex¬ ception of controling railroads. Judge Lawson opposes the Olive bill and Colley somewhat leans to it. There is some talk of moving the Ben Ilill monument from Peachtree street to the Capitol ground in At¬ lanta, on account of a large hotel be¬ ing built close to the monument that overshadows its grand appcnranec. Bill Pledger, the negro politician, says he will make the race for Con¬ gress in this district if the election bill passes. If he should make a campaign of the district he will learn some things that will be of service to him in the future. Governor Gordon’s letter to Editor Brown, of the Southern Alliance Farmer, will hardly be satisfactorily received, as the Governor did not an¬ swer some things that was expected. The Governor was shrewd enough to get behind his official position. Mr. Carlisle, who has been elected to fill the vacancy in the United States Senate caused by the death of Senator Beck, will at once become the leader on the Democratic side in that honorable body. He is the ablest tariff reform leader in the country. S. A. Darnell, United States at¬ torney for the Northern district of Georgia, has entered the congression¬ al race in the Ninth. He is making it rather warm for Thad Pickett, urging the men of his party to vote for a straight-out democrat rather than an independent republican. Darnell is a republican. Camemlie Coa.Dg to tie Frost. We feel, see and know that ere long Carnesville will be the foremost town in this part of the country. There is s spirit of progress and de¬ velopment among our citizens that has grown into action, and every mark of new enterprise is mot by a half dozen friendly rivals. New buildings and remodeling are going up and being planned for on every side. Our healthful location and matchless surroundings give us nat- ural advantages that guarantees us an easy lead. We expect to see Carnesville in a few years her inhab- itants numbering into the thousands, and the grand music of peaceful in¬ dustry to be heard in every direction. Our people have been estranged from their county site and central town to a great extent for a long time, but now they see their error and are turning their efforts to their home town with a determination that is highly commendable. This is the proper view to take of the matter » for every man in Franklin county who contributes to the building of a commercial center will receive the fruits of his labor as long as he lives, Livingston for Governor. There seems to be no further doubt but that Col. L. F. Livingston will make the race for Governor of Geor¬ gia. He has not formally announced, but the indications are that he will at an early day. The Southern Alliance Farmer has this to say of the govern¬ orship: “You are to elect a governor and it is expected that he should be a true and tried leader in this great work of reform. He should be the cliamjtion on all occasions of the jioojde’s rights and a thorough exponent of the ag¬ gressive reform movement of the day. “There has never been an era in American history where the liberties of the people were in greater danger than they now are. The alliance was born to meet this danger, and must do it, and it is the bonnden duty of every citizen of Georgia to co-operate with her in this hour of our country’s need. To meet this issue the alliance has formulated plans, declared prin¬ ciples and made demands. “So far, there is no announced can¬ didate in the field for governor, and only one or two for congress, who will champion this great cause. “For nearly one year Hon. W. J. Northern has been an announced can¬ didate for governor of Georgia, and during a larger portion of that time a number of jiujicrB, both in and out of the state, have heaped all manner of ridicule upon the alliance and its policy. If, during that time, he has lifted his voice or his pen in defense of the order, its leaders or its meas¬ ures, wc have been unable to see or hear it. He has made some profes¬ sions of favor to alliance principles and measures, but they have been very vague and unsatisfactory. “On the other hand the very pa¬ pers, with one or two exceptions, and the very men who are loudest in their advocacy of Mr. Northern for gov¬ ernor, arc strongest iu their opposi¬ tion to our order and the great issues before the people. We regret this fact, but since it forces itself upon us it is onr duty to seek a man as candi¬ date for governor who will fight the people’s battles at all times and under all circumstances. “Be on guard, brethren, and don’t let the politicians and outsiders force upon you a candidate) who will not, in a bold and fearless manner, defend you from the onslaughts and insults of his friends.” Hon. J. C. Clements’ Views. The I’loyd county Alliance has written a letter to Congressman Clements, of the Seventh district, asking him that he answer certain questions before they can support lum for re-election. Mr. Clements is in harmony with their desired leg¬ islation with the exception of govern¬ ment control of railroads and tele- grajih lines and the scheme of sub- treasuries. He thinks the expense and the partisan officers would not he satisfactory to the people and that there is much reason for fearing trouble from such legislation, lie thinks that the agriculturist can get relief by supporting the democratic party. The school teachers of Georgia are making a protest against the long de¬ lay in getting their pay each year. There should be some favorable leg¬ islation in their behalf. Lady Anne Blunt, the grand¬ daughter of Lord Byron, lives in Fgypt and wears the Arab dress. The Price of Cotton Advancing Tin* small visible supply and the growing consumption of cotton it is thought by those best posted. cause the fleecy staple to bring a good nrice this fall. Some of the manufacturers say that the demand will call for eight millions of bales for this coming season, and will take it as promptly as the seven this last season. Cotton is now bringing eleven and a half cents continues to rise, but cotton goods have advanced hut very little. state of the market will not continue much longer, cotton goods must ad- vance or cotton decline. Already • many of the mills in the country are closing down and more will follow, as they have failed to supply themselves with cotton to run through the son, and cannot now buy at the pres- ent high prices and compete with other mills at the present low prices of cotton fabrics. We expect to see the price of cotton cloth gradually advance, and the staple continue to bring a fair price. This will be much bettor for the cotton growers, for they only have to buy a small portion comparatively speaking of the amount made into cloth, while they get all the advantage of high selling juice for the entire crop. If our people could only get to the position where they would not be forced to sell, and therefore have it in their power to get a profitable price, with our pres¬ ent monopoly of production we would become independently rich. But now is the time to look well after our advantages, for in all probability other sections and other countries will soon be in our way, as many of them are experimenting, and some very satisfactorily to themselves. Cotton will make us rich if we will only get to the point where we can control the price. Industrial Education for Girls. There is a good jirospeet that Georgia Normal and Industrial School for Girls, established by act of the Legislature at its last session, will ready for the admission of jjujiils the first of next January. The ing of the board of trustees held Thursday was most satisfactory. It is evident that the people expect great tilings of this addition to the educa¬ tional system of the state. Its larity, and tho provision for its port, appear to be amply The means for a good start are hand, and there can be no doubt that the institution properly will receive due consideration the state. The people of Milledgcvillc shown their appreciation of the tion of the Legislature in locating college in that city. Through Cline, last Thursday, they over to the trustees of this school check for $22,000, of which was a donation and $12,000 a This liberality on the part of the lic-spirited citizens of has enabled the trustees to more rapidly with their than they could otherwise have and the college will be ready to operations so much the sooner. state has donated the old mansion and the valuable acre lot on which the used to stand. On this site the main college building will erected, and the mansion will be as a dormitory. Plans for a to cost $22,000 have already been dered. It will be complete in but so constructed that it can he add¬ ed to easily. When the Legislature meets November it will find the work on Girls’ Normal and Industrial well advanced and will surely make jirompt provision for its equipment and maintenance. Georgic has un¬ dertaken a great work in this institution. It should not starved or stinted. Give the girls a fair chance.—Macon Telegraph. People Here and There.
