Fraxki.ix county is able to take
care of herself in local matters with¬
out outside interference,
--------♦ ♦ ---
Spalding county Alliance refuses
to endorse either Livingston or Stew¬
art for congress. This is the right
way.
"When Northen is elected governor
Hancock will have tbo distinction of
furnishing this great state two gov¬
ernors.

Tun pcnch crop is a failure and
are worth thirty cents per dozen in
market. Apples are short and un¬
promising.

There is a strong effort being made
to secure teachers' money earlier than
heretofore in Georgia. The move¬
ment is just and we wish it success.
The lawyers are hungry for Judge
Lumpkin's place on the bench in the
Northern circuit. As many as three
aspirants are mentioned in one town.
It is to lie regretted that our grand
old count y’s local affairs have become
so fraughted with difficulties that
patriotic outsiders had to come to
our rescue.
Stewart and Livingston arc eat¬
ing crow aud spitting fire. Each is
aggressive and able, but at the same
time each had rather the other was
out of the way.
IIox. Rufus B. Bui.i.qck has been
elected president of the Chamber of
Commerce at Atlanta. Col. Bullock
will greatly appreciate the honor, as
he is a republican.
Hox. Allen 1). Candi.eu thinks
that Tom Winn’s chances are better
than any other’s in the Ninth just
now, but will not be surprised to see
a change in the outlook.
Tun friends of lion. F. lb Hodges,
of Hart county, have announced him
as a candidate for senator for the
Thirty-first district. The friends of
lion. J. F. White announced himself
as a candidate for representative,.
I)r. Wilms F. Westmoreland
lias been unanimously elected pro-
lessor of surgery in the Atlanta Med¬
ical College. Ho now till the chair
that has been occupied by his distin¬
guished father ever since the college
was founded.
Franklin county is not willing to
make a consignment, nor to have a
receiver appointed, neither is she wil¬
ling to have guardians and adminis¬
trators over her,but some of the out¬
siders demand something of the kind
uml we are bothered as to what to do.
The Georgia Melon Exchange has
suspended. President Forrester says
the exchange has boon a success, but
on the account of melons not coming
up to the grade required many drafts
on the exchange have not been hon¬
ored and it was necessary to suspend.
Indications seem to l>e in favor
of a liberal coinage of silver. Tho
silver men in congress are determ¬
ined in their efforts to increase the
coinage of silver, and their demands
are so just and popular that their ef¬
forts are almost certain to be vic¬
torious.
A writer in the Constitution says
that since 1880, about the time that
the prohibit ion movement was started
in Georgia, that the number of con¬
victs have decreased yearly, and that
the 37 wet counties now in Georgia
furnish more convicts than the 100
prohibition counties. The figures
speak for themselves.
Congressman Bi.ou xt has written
a letter to his constituents opposing
the sub-treasurv plan. He says that
he has been in congress eighteen
years laboring for the larnier, and
that ho does not now intend to
reive them. He says that both par
ties are opposed to the bill and
it lias not the shadow of a chance to
F**-
The Congressional Race
The farmers ar» about through
work now and many of them have
begun to take somo interest in poli¬
tical matters, The congressional race
promises to be very lively by the
time the primary comes off the 1st of
August, The candidates are all
nice, clever gentlemen, and their per¬
sonal bearing will give each one a
considerable following. There are
no issues that amount to much, as all
are in favor of reducing the tariff, a
better monetary system, the repeal of
the national banking system, etc.
Judge Lawson and Col. Olive differ
as to the control of railroads and Mr.
Colley has never said where he stood
on the matter, as we know of. The
E nteupui.si-: does not expect to ad¬
vocate the election of either of the
distinguished gentlemen, but wc feel
it our duty to give our readers the
probable result from the best infor¬
mation that can l>e obtained from
time to time during the campaign.
So far as we are able to gain reliable
information, it looks like Lawson and
Colley each have the advantage of
Olive, with Lawson some little in the
lead of Colley. The whole matter is
liable to be reversed before the elec¬
tion comes off.
The Carnesville High School.
The greatest legacy that parents
can leave their children is an educa¬
tion—an education that teaches the
duties of life and h<-W to perform
them, lu these times of stir and
rush, when accidents of all kinds are
so common, the people are daily fall¬
ing helpless victims from injuries, and
become a burden to relatives, friends
anil the county because they have not
been taught the different useful avo¬
cations of life. There is a movement
on foot to establish a high grade
school in Carnesville and the people
of Franklin county would do well to
rally to its support. Franklin county
is spending thousands of dollars ev¬
ery year outside of the county for the
education of her sons and daughters.
This county will never stand where
she ought until this outflow is stopped.
Let everybody interest themselves in
this much neglected cause, and build
hero in Carnesville a school that will
be an honor to our people.
Non-Resident Leaders.
It is a well-known fact that men
who live outside of Franklin county
have been and arc now very conspic¬
uously engaged in directing political
and other matters in this county.
The self-appointed mouth-pieces of
our needs and desires have the same
cheeky egotism that usually clothes
ambitious ignorance. Wc have been
particularly infested with somo of
these self-appointed dictators of very
recent date. We have heard a num¬
ber of our farmers and best alliance-
men complain that during our county
Alliance meeting that these non-resi¬
dent Solomons were so persistent for
recognition that a well-informed con¬
servative Franklin comity- alliance-
man could not gel a hearing, and t hat
they would be very glad for the fluent
gentlemen from a distance to keep
more quiet. I f our people are to have
no voice in polities nor other matters,
we had better petition for annexation
with some other country.
♦ o *-
Hunnioutt is the Man.
lion. J. 11. Ifunnicutt is gaining
strength everywhere we hear from,
and Georgia would do herself honor
to elect this grand farmer and edu¬
cator. ile sweeps the counties
wherever he goes, and the pcojde
learn of his high character and good
sense. We hope to see l-’ranklin
give him a st rong support. I render-
son is no good and should be left out
—he did not want the people to de¬
cide the matter, and as they are to
decide, let them decide to put him
out.

Carlton Will Serve.
Hon. II. II. Carlton has written a
letter to several of his constituents in
this district in answer to a petition
that has been sent him urging him to
make the race and remain in con¬
gress. He writes a forcible letter, in
which he indicates that he could not
honorably enter the race, but if the
people should nominate him he would
feel it his duty to serve them.
A Labor Candidate.
The Ninth congressional district
has a labor candidate for congress in
the person of a Mr. Davidstoi, of
l’ickvns comity.
(. apt. R. R. Asburv, of White
county, has also announced as a can-
for congress iu the Ninth.
LAVOXJA.
The weather is is getting a little
dry, but not so hot as last week,
Mrs. Carcker, of Mijledgevllle, is
visiting her daughter, Mrs. A. 1).
Echols, of this place.
Miss Susie King, one of Westmin¬
ster’s charming daughters, is visiting
Miss Maggie Grubbs.
A large congregation at the Bap¬
tist church Sunday. After tho ser¬
mon, which seemed to be soothing,
the Lord’s supper was observed in a
solemn and impressive manner.
Trustees of Lftvojija High School,
attention: Don’t sleep over your in¬
terests. Bestir yourselves to action.
Lavonia ought not, can not and will
not he behind. Her motto is “Ex¬
celsior.”
Judge Lawson will visit Lavonia
next Wednesday, the lfith. Wo arc
glad he expects to let our people
hear from ldm. Hope the other con¬
gressional candidates will do so too.
The Judge is a good man.
The Baptist pastor returns thanks
to Mr. A. J. Marett for remembering
his pastor with a nice mess of fresh
fish Monday evening. Such young
men are worth having, and if I were
a young lady 1 would be getting inv
consent to have him.
A ministers conference was organ¬
ized at Bowersville Monday. Revs.
I*. F. Crawford, J. J. Beck, 31. L.
Carswell, J. II. McMullen and others
were present. They will meet on
Monday after the second Sunday in
each month at Bowersville, 1) a. m.
All ministers in the Hebron and Tu-
galo Associations are invited to at¬
tend. The meeting Monday was
said, to be quite interesting.
Madame Rumor was correct, for
on Wednesday night last, at the res*
idence of Mrs. A. Burniss, Mr. Sam
Dandy and Mrs. Americas Burgess
were joined in holy wedlock, Rev.
1\ F. Crowford officiating. A large
concourse of friends gathered to wit¬
ness the ceremony, who, with your
correspondent, wishes the happy
pair all the happiness and success in
life that an honest soul could desire.

CROMEK’S MILL.
Crops are looking greatly revived
since the rain last Sunday night.
The schools of this section are
flourishing, but will be larger in a
week or so.
Misses Oda Strickland and
Crumcl, two young ladies of Ila, vis¬
ited friends near Cromers last Sun¬
day.
The picnic at Cromer’s mill was
grand affair. The picnickers
to come in about 9 o’clock from
ery direction, and bv noon the
hill was covered with people.
day was exceedingly warm and lem¬
onade sold well. Dinner was plenti¬
ful, ami everybody seemed to
it. In the afternoon Judge
Pool delivered an eloquent
which was very interesting,
night a party of young people went
to the residence of Mr. W. C.
where they had a nice singing,
ducted by Mr. Robert Moore.

S. M. Ayers places the following
guarantee upon every collar turned
out from his collar factory:
I do hereby guarantee this collar
to he made out of good leather, well
tanned and well greased, and tho
work all done by hand. There is not
a stitch of machine work in it. I
have made and sold the same grade
of collars that have been in use from
ten to twenty years. This is a No. 1
kip collar. Read the following cer¬
tificates. I could give a large num¬
ber more if space would admit.

1 do hereby certify that 1 am now

you, made in your harness shop m
Carnesville, in 180!) or 1870, 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 Ayer# collar again. I
think that it is good for four or five
years service more. May 12, 1890.
