Hardeman Out cf the Race.
Col. Tom Hardeman, who has been
opposing Mr. Northcn for governor,
has withdrawn from the race, giving
as hia reason that ho could not hope
to be elected without making a per¬
sonal canvass of the state, and that
his health would not admit of as vig¬
orous a campaign as lie would have
to make.
Primary Friday, August 1st.
The mooting last Tuesday in an¬
swer to the call made by the chair¬
man of the Democratic Executive
Committee of Franklin county unan¬
imously decided to hold primaries in

Tho State Road Leased.
The Western it Atlantic, or the
Btato road, has been leased to the
Louisville it Nashville for a period of
t wenty-ninc years at $35,000 per
month. This is ? 10,000 per month
more than the road brought under
the Brown lease.
The Result in Madison.
The people of Madison county as¬
sembled at the court bouse in mass
meeting on the 1 st inst. and selected
delegates for Norlhen for governor,
Iluimiciitt for commissioner of agri-
cultuje, and Colley for congress.
EDITORIALLY PARAGRAPHED.
South Caiiolina politics arc as ex¬
citing as they were in 1870.
South Carolina’s campaign for
governor is threatened with a riot in
every joint discussion.
EuntRT county, in mass meeting
July 1st, recommended Ilunnicutl for
commissioner of agriculture.
♦- ♦ - -------
Caut. Harry Brown, of the Alli¬
ance Farmer, seems to be about the
largest man in Georgia politics.
■--
Tim joint canvass bet ween Hard¬
eman and Northcn is declared off mi
account of Hardeman’s ill health.
Tub congressional race in the
Tenth between Barnes and Watson
is about the warnur-t in the state.
It is reported that Hon. IV. A.
Broughton, of .Morgan, will not enter
the race for congress in this district.
Com.kok donations are doing a
great deal for the young people of
the country. J.et the good work go
Oil.
I’i'Ksidkvt IIakrison is said to be
anxious for the federal election bill to
become a law, and will sign it as
quick as be can get bold of it.
Got.. ITamt Mi Whoutkr and ex-
C Congressman Seaborn Reese are can¬

Stf.wart and Livingston met in
joint debate Saturday at Donglas-
xille. It. was their first open combat
and honors were pretty evenly di¬
vided.
Cobb county has a mo\ e on foot
to establish a normal school in that
county for the preparation of teach¬
ers. Franklin needs something of
the same kind.
The unveiling of tlie Hendricks
monument at. Indianapolis, I ml., on
July 1 st was attended by thousands
of democrats. Tlios. A. Hendricks
was one of the most conspicuous
statesmen this country has over pro¬
duced.
IIon. Tom Hardeman retires from
the race for governor wit 1 ’ the high
respect of the entire state. Every¬
body would be glad to see him got-
ernor if Norlhen vius out of the wav,
but Northcn had already been set¬
tled on before Hardeman came out,
and tiie people will not pull off from
him without some reason.
The Political Alliance,
No man can do his duty and please
everybody, and therefore we do not
expect to have the approval of every¬
body in what wo are about to say,
but believe a fair and intelligent Dub¬
lin will respect our views, as we seek
no office nor dictate any patronage.
We believe the farmers of Franklin
county stand as high in the scale of
true manhood ns any equal body of
men in tho state; we believe their
motives are as sineers when unprej¬
udiced by seeming inequalities as any
citizenship to he found on this conti¬
nent, and what wc say is not suppo¬
sition, for the writer was reared to
manhood on the farm, and he is fa¬
miliar with every detail and hardship
connected with farm life. We be¬
lieve that ninety-nine per cent of the
citizens of Franklin county, including
every calling and occupation, eat
their bread by tbe sweat of their
brow, in the true meaning of tliis
phrase. Believing that all c itizens of
our grand county have the same gen¬
eral desire to see our people prosper¬
ous and harmonious, we protest
against the narrow and unseemly ac¬
tion taken by the Fanners’ Alliance
last Wednesday in selecting a man to
represent Franklin county in the next
Legislature. In order that our re¬
marks may not he understood as per¬
sonal opposition to the man selected,
we will say that the circumstances
and tlie feeling of tho people undci
\\ hieli this action was taken is the
matter that prompts our opposition to
action. It is well known by all
who have been interested in the mat¬
ter that there were as many as three
members of the Alliance who had a
following in the order as the
choice of t.he citizens of their respect¬
sections to represent them in the
Legislature. Whether all of
men were really active aspir¬
or not we do not know, but we
lo know that some were more con¬
than others and by being
they have been left out,
the consequence is there is gen¬
dissatisfaction in the order, not
say anything about those who arc
shut out from its membership. In
candor, wc ask the men who fath¬
ered this action and prosecuted it to
its result: Does it comport with clean
democracy? Docs it carry out that
principle of “equal rights to
all and special privileges to none 1 ”
Or docs it smack of third-partj’ism
and class legislation ? This action
necessarily places this grand order—
whose constitution forbids its becom¬
ing political—as political and parti¬
san. Secret politics are undemo¬
cratic, unsafe and unclean, and their
fruits arc disruption and riotous re-
bclion. Politics, if they secure sta¬
bleness, must bo open. Men will not
peacefully submit to legislation they
have no voice in making. Liberty,
in its noblest sense, must be secured
to the humblest voter, or this govern¬
ment is a failure. Tho man who
claims the support of allianeemen be¬
cause he belongs to that order is not
worthy of the suffrage of a free peo¬
ple. The man who will appeal to al-
liancemcn to stick together regardless
ol' individual opinions is a destroyer
of individuality and an enemy to in¬
dependent manhood. Tear loose'
from the bosses that would do alt the
riding while they would lntve you do
all the walking. Examine the tree
and see if it is in a healthy, thriving
condition, or if it is already bearing
well-developed fruits, and if you find
it barren cut it down ami east it
aside—its shadow makes the earth
poorer.
Public Mass Meeting.
A public mass meeting was held at
the court house Tuesday, with J. II.
Sligh in the chair, and A. N. King

Dr. J. R. Tucker explained the ob¬
ject of the meeting by stating the
