EDITORIALLY I*ARABRAP1IE», 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. Yahoo. 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. Plow Boy. BOILED DOWN.
