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. Subscribe for The Enterprise. 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. —Athens Banner. BOILED DOWN.
