Garncsville, Ga., June 20, IMOO.
EDITORIALLY PARAGRAPHED.
Livingston and Stewart are going
to have the liveliest race that will be
in the state.
If Carlton enters the race in the
Eighth the situation may become
more interesting.
Two very aged United States Sen¬
ators came very nearly having a fist¬
icuff a few days ago.
If the Athens Banner’s dark horse
for congress fails to get in, the Eighth
district will he in a had condition.
Speaker Reed has made himself
so conspicuous that his party is talk¬
ing him for the presidency in 1892.
Cholera and yellow fever are
breaking out in some of the foreign
countries and is causing some ahum
in this country.
We hear of a man by the name of
Cline being a candidate for congress
in this district. We did not learn
where lie lived.
The Macon Telegraph says it will
gUe Col. Hardeman a hearty support
for governor. The Colonel is very
popular at home.
Atlanta’s judges have more back¬
bone than any city in the country.
If a man violates the laws there be
had better carry his case to another
county.
-— -♦ ♦ ......
Col. Tom Hardeman’s letter an¬
nouncing his candidacy for Governor
is an able enunciation of issues, and
has the high, clear ring of pure de¬
mocracy.
II. I. Kimball has closed a con¬
tract for five years at a salary of
$30,000 a year to superintend the
building of a new town by the name
of Kimball.
Gov. Gordon has just returned
from New York, where he went to
see about renting the State road.
He thinks that his trip has been val¬
uable to the state.
Ice is twice as cheap in the South
as in the North. We depend on ar¬
tificial ice and the North on natural.
Last winter was too warm for the
natural product to amount to a great
deal.
There is a move on foot to build
a colossal equestrian statue of Gen¬
erals Lee and Grant at Cumberland
Gap. Grant’s face is to be looking
toward the North and Lee’s toward
the South.
Sam Jones spoke to a large con¬
gregation of negroes in Richmond a
few (lays ago, and advised them to
keep out of politics; that very few
men above the Mason and Dixon line
cared anything for them.
There is a scheme on foot to cut
a canal from Memphis, Tenn., to
Jackson, Miss., connecting the Ten¬
nessee and Mississippi rivers. If the
project should he carried out it will
be’a great thing for Memphis.
The republicans would be delight¬
ed to see the Alliance put out inde¬
pendent candidates for all national
offices, hut their hopes are not likely
to be fulfilled, as the Alliance is
is largely made up of democracy and
entirely so in the South.
The champhion debate at the Uni¬
versity at Athens last week was de¬
cided in favor of the Phi Kappas.
The subject was, “Resolved, that
there should be a property qualifica¬
tion for suffrage in the United States.”
The Phi Kappas had the negative.
The Athens Banner is now earn¬
estly and ably supporting the dark
horse of this district for congress.
Bro. Gantt says that Lawson and
Colley have cut each other’s throats,
and intimates that Olivo is not fit to
go. We have the Banner’s
horse spotted, and believe bus
mighty t lira.
To the Trustees of the Carncsville
School.
It is time and lngh time that you
and our citizens were taking more in¬
terest and using better judgment in
the way of establishing a first-class
high school at this placo. We are
losing money and lagging in educa¬
tion all because of our lack of duty
in the matter. There is not a town
around u:s that lias not bettor schools
than we, notwithstanding Carncsville
lias a better backing than any of
them. We cannot afford to let out
our schools because a man is clever,
for all are clever enough to secure
schools on this line, but must secure
teachers solely on fitness, regardless
of our kind wishes for others. We
are reliably informed that Prof. A. J.
Morris does not intend to teach at
this place another year, but is willing
and anxious to aid us in securing a
teacher that will build up a school
here such as the county needs. We
believe the occasion is ripe for good
results in this line if the people will
get together and go to work. We
would suggest to the trustees that
they give the school to no man until
they know that lie is a man of good
habits and well advanced in the latest
methods of teaching. A man cannot
make a successful teacher unless he
has had special training in this line,
or long time experience on a progres¬
sive plan of teaching. We will say
in conclusion that Prof. Morris is the
most thoroughly educated teacher
that Gainesville has had for some
time, and wc would be glad to see
liis school largely patronized this fall.
Let Others Fall in Line.
The resolution passed by the sub-
Alliance of Carncsville at their last
regular meeting, and published by re¬
quest elsewhere in this paper, is on
the right line, and any other action,
strictly speaking, would have been
undemocratic. We believe in all
classes of producers organizing for
their mutual good, but law-makers
and executors should be representa¬
tive men of all the people and be un¬
der no special obligations to any class
or faction. Freedom of the ballot
is as necessary to a stable govern¬
ment as freedom of speech is to cur
social and domestic affairs. If men
pledge themselves to support a can¬
didate because of bis peculiar views
favoring a certain class to the disad¬
vantage of all others, they cannot
honestly and logically claim their ac¬
tion to be democratic. Herein the
action of the CarnesviUo sub-Aliianco
in saying that the Alliance as an or¬
der was not or ought not to be polit-
cal was highly democratic, and we
commend their action to their
brethren.
The Confederate Veterans.
Let the soldiers who wore the gray
and their wives and mothers who
wove and made it in times that part¬
ing meant for eternity, unless victory
rested on their banners, meet here on
August 6th in sacred memory of the
days of that trying period that will
linger as long as life shall last, and
have a reunion of hearts and thoughts
once more this side of the grave.
Let the day be seasoned with the
spirit of liberty, and may the younger
generation catch the inspiration that
guided their father and mothers in
consecrating their property and their
lives to the lost but noble cause.
Broughton for Congress.
A special from Athens to the Con¬
stitution of the 17th lust, states that
it is most certain that Hon. W. A.
Broughton, of Morgan county, will
enter the race for congress in the
Eighth. Mr. Broughton is a fanner
and iu favor of the sub-treasury bill.
Convicted Again.
J. J. Patterson has again been con¬
victed of stabbing bis wife in Atlanta
last summer. lie lias now had three
trials—two for conviction and one
mistrial. The attorneys gave notice
for a hearing for a new trial, and sen¬
tence was suspended.
—Hardeman and Northern will
meet in open combat to-day in Law-
renceville. It was Hardeman’s ap¬
pointment, but Northern has been in¬
vited and accepted. This will bo the
first double-barrel gun of the cam¬
paign.

Franklin’s Mineral Wealth.
Prof. W.G. Woodfin is doing some
groat work in developing tnc mineral
resources of Franklin county. He has
discovered valuable mines of gold,
iron and other minerals, and also a
coal mine, that has been analyzed and
found to be of a superior quality.
This is the first deposit of coal ever
found in this section of the state, and
as it is near a mine of superior mag¬
netic iron ore, there is no reason why
a furnace should not bo started here.
The iron ore is of so mire and fine a
quality that you can hammer a horse¬
shoe nail from it. There are said to
be inexhaustible quantities of both
coal and iron. Nearly every stream
is paved with particles of gold, and
the particles are free and easily
worked.
Prof. Woodfin represents a syndi¬
cate of Northern capitalists, ami are
taking options on all this mineral
property, at a handsome price. lie
is receiving quite an ovation at the
hands of the people, and is certainly
doing some great work in this sec¬
tion.
Franklin is one of the best counties
in Georgia, ami we are glad to know
that it is being developed. There
arc not a clovere.i or more whole-
souled people in the South.
Besides these mineral deposits,
there are enormous belts of timber in
Franklin which will some day be a
source of great wealth, The railroad J
to Carncsville will soon he in opera¬
tion, and when Col. Smith extends
his road from Smithsonia, via Dan-
ielsville, to that place, a splendid belt
of fresh country will be opened up.

Georgia, Franklin County.
I have a pair of horse collars that
I bought of S. M. Ayers ten years
ago, and have used them almost con¬
stant ly, and they have not got a break
in them yet, and they are so made!
that they do not hurt my stock.

S. F. Bagwell.
Georgia, Elbert County.
I do hereby certify that I am now
using a horse e< liar that I bought of
vou, made in your harness shop in
Carncsville, in 18110 or 18.0, and I
have used it constantly since that
period with my buggy harness and
often with wagon and plow harness,
except about six months that I used
a collar that 1 bought with the last
set of harness that I bought, which
wore out in that time, and 1 turned
to my old Ayers collar again. I
think that it is good for four or live
years service more. May 12, 1800.
