Wo like to sec a man, when he decides to make the race for an office, go in to win, and the harder he works the lietter we like him, so long as he does not stoop to disreputable means to further his good chances. But to make a sly canvass claiming the solid backing of the balance of the county and endeavoring to scare the balance of the representative men from the field before anybody has openly been heard from is against our ideas of fair play. We repeat what we have said on this line before that no man in Frunkliu county can claim that lie is the choice of the people until the peo¬ ple have heard from him and his equals on matters that effect the gen¬ eral welfare of the people. There is nothing wrong in promising a man your support if it is your will to do so, but do not support any man that is opposed by one you like lietter and believe would make a better repre¬ sentative, KDIT0B1ALLY l’AlUt.KAPHED. Gambling is on the decline in Washington City. There arc over 500,000,000 Budd¬ hist believers on the face of the earth. South Carolina will have a sharp campaign between the aspirants for guvernor. The Wesleyan Female College has sent out 1,200 graduates since its es¬ tablishment. Henderson says that lie will most certainly he elected as commissioner of agriculture, Higher education is looking up all over the state. The colleges are fuller this year than usual. The Augusta Chronicle wants the Atlanta Rifles and the Macon Cadets to have a championship state drill at Augusta next week, The Atlanta Rifles won the first prize at the international drill at Kansas City last Monday, Atlanta justly feels proud of her hoys. Larry Gantt luvs withdrawn from the race for congress in this district. “The editor of tho Banner,” to use the stereotype phrase of the Banner, is a funny man. -Livingstone made his first speech since his candidacy for congress at Decatur Tuesday, Tho papers state that he had a large audience and a strong following. The negro Dudley whose nomina¬ tion w as sent in for postmaster at Americus has been indefinitely held up, and it is thought that sonic other man will yet the place. Lynchings and imprisonment on circumstantial evidence are becoming too common. Wo frequently see where the innocent suffer on the ac¬ count of acting too quickly i» such matters, Every indication points to North¬ ern as the next governor uf Georgia, Livingston's action iu retiring from the field was very commendable, and will make him stronger among the people than heretofore. The republicans admit new states ns fast as possible, especially if they are expected to vote the republican ticket. From the outlook at present they will very likely need them in a few years. Tariff reform ft* against protection will finally down the republicans. Colonel L. h. Livingston ” has am nOMTtced , ,. candidacy ,. for ill nis a seat Fifty.tldrd Otvingress against Judge Stewart, the present tueiuoheiil. Judge Stewart says he can boat Liv- tngstou or any other man in the triet, Atlanta, or rather Fulton county claims to hold the balance power, and i if they will sec * proper * • withhokl • it item both and put out tbud man, The Poor dirl*' College, Mrssns. Editors: Sometime ago I wrote an article under the nom do plume “Thu Poor Girls’ Friend,” (hut not for your paper) advocating a scheme for the ladies of Franklin county to raise a fund sufficient to keep one of Franklin county’s girls in the Poor Girls’ Industrial College that will he established at Millodgc- ville, Ga., to bo open for students by the first of next January, Our last legislature appropriated 000 to establish such an institu¬ tion. Milledgeville, to get the col¬ lege, gave 410,000 and loaned the trustees 412,000, making a total of ♦57,000. The trustees believe with this fund they will he able to open the college by the first of next Jan- nary. It may hi- asked, Why the neces¬ sity for ladies of Franklin county to interest themselves to raise a fund for the purpose of supporting a girl in such an institution ? I would answer: The very girls that the college was created for are not able to get the benefits. The trustees only intend to give the tuition, and perhaps books. JIow can a poor girl clothe ami board her¬ self? it is for this expense the belies of Franklin county can build a moii- inont that w ill rise as high as the ages will run. The scheme put in action should not stop short of keeping a girl in the college all the time. In four years time the college would send hack one of Franklin county’s daughters that every mother would Ik* proud of—to say nothing of the young men. She would be an edu¬ cator, and such an educator as our county has never had, and to have such au accomplished lady sent hack to our county every year it would not Ik- a decade until till) women would see the fruit of their work. Yes, fucli benefits to the rising generation as has never been seen iii old Frank¬ lin before. They would see the mon¬ ument begin to rise and expand it¬ self until it reached out, extending its base as it mounted upwards, tak¬ ing in all of Franklin county’s daugh¬ ters. If the ladies would look to the future interest of their sex they surely will make another effort at the coun¬ ty seat to form a parent society, then let every church in the county form into a sub-society and send delegates to make a constitution and by-laws to govern the whole. I have been talking this scheme up, and I am ready to vouch for the ladies of Bold Spring section to fall into the plan and help push it for¬ ward to its accomplishment. Whim we consider how small an outlay it would he to the ladles of the county for the first year it would not take more than 25 cents a year each to put it on a foundation that would he certain to carry it through. That is, if the county was well organ¬ ised. So small a sum when we cal¬ culate the good that will accrue, should not deter tho good women of the county from making the move, and that at once. I have no interest in this, only the love I have fur the education of the poor girls of our county. Bold Spring, Ga. J. II. St.ten. The Ghwt Story. Every day we are impressed with the great evils caused by the telling and spreading of ghost stories and supernatural occurrences. Parents entertain their children till late hours at night by telling them these wild and inhuman tales and send the little fellows to bed scared half to death, fearing if they should go to sleep that they will be carried away by one of these imaginary monsters before they Wake, and if they should happen to fall asleep their dreams are filled w ith pits, blood and fire, not to say anything of the forked-tangued, sharp-eUwed and roaring-mouthed beasts that are continually hovering near with wagging tails and flashing eyes, threatening immediate mutila¬ tion. Those unnatural and untruth¬ ful tales are the vary worst stuff that children can be taught. It is inju¬ rious to their health and intellect and keeps them from having many good tiines that arc of much benefit to child-hood. Olive iu the Race. Hon. J. T. Olive, of Oglefhorr«\ , has declared , himsclt candidate fur a congress iu this district. He is author of the famous Olive hill which caused so much discuss,..,, j„ the last legislature. He will make it an is- sue i« this race. He also says he is favor of the nub-treasury lull, if, • nothing bettor can be framed. . ----- Subscnb© for Tut E-MEurimsE, PROGRAMME Of the Union Meeting to be Held at Camomile on August 8,1890.
