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

make the race for Congress in the
Fifth against Judge Stuart, the pres¬
ent incumbent.
Mat Davis’ nomination for post¬

some things that will be of service to

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.

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.

daughter of Lord Byron, lives in

The Price of Cotton Advancing

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

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
