Attention, Democrats.
The members of tho Democratic
Executive Committee of Franklin
county are hereby requested to meet
at the court house in Caruesville on
Saturday, July 19th, 1899, for the
purpose of determining the manner
of holding the primary eleetmn for
governor, state house officers and
congressman, to be held Aug. 1st.

Chairman Dctn. Ex. Committee.
EDITORIALLY PARAGRAl'MED.
South America is threatened
with a panic. Too much paper cur¬
rency is tho cause,
Putnam county’s primary was held
the loth inst. Lawson carried the
county solid for congress,
J,B, IlrvNiei'TT carried McDuffie
county for Connnissioncr of Agricul¬
ture the 15th inst. in the regular pri¬
mary.-
--------
Troup county proposes to prarate
her vote for congressmen if no one
candidate receives a majority of tlu-
whole vote.
It is said that Congressman Blount
will be certain to have opposition
unless he changes his views on the
sub-treasury bill.
Atlanta says her policemen shall
not talk politics and that no man will
be retained on Iffe force who does
not pay his debts.
Editor McGill, of the Hartwell
Sun, has withdrawn from the legis¬
lative race, and intimates that he will
never again be a candidate.
Tiik Alliance of tho Ninth con¬
gressional district met at Gainesville
last Tuesday and recommended Hon.
Thomas E. Winn for congress.
Hon, Tom Cabinkss, of Monroe
county, is a candidate for the presi¬
dency of the next senate, His
chances for election are said to be
very good,

The total cotton receipts from the
plantations since September 1, 1889,
are 5,783,9X11 bales; in 1888-89 were
5,489,570 bales; in 1887-88 were
5,102,772 hales.
The Atlanta Journal of the 15th
inst. has an editorial headed “An
earnest appeal to farmers,” which is
full of good sense and advice. The
Journal speaks patriotic convictions
in a manly way.
Several petitions have been pre¬
sented to the United States senate
praying for an amendment to the
constitution acknowledging God and
the Christian religion.
• ♦ ..... .
Tiie sace for the nomination in the
Ninth seems to hang between Winn
and Tate, Tate’s friends claim that
bo is the only man that can defeat
Pickett if there is no republican in
the race..
The congressional race in the Ninth
is causing a great deal of anxiety.
The best democrats want a man who
can beat Thadeus Pickett, but fear
some man will bo nominated that
can’t do it.
Some of tluj Alliances are becom¬
ing alarmed about the condition of
the state Exchange and the co-oper¬
ative store in Atlanta, and. have pass¬
ed resolutions requesting the proper
authorities to look into the matter.
There is much int erest being man¬
ifested in the Fifth,congressional dis¬
trict in the race between Livingston
and Stewart. The sub-treasury bill
is the main issue. Livingston ably
defends it and Stewart ably attacks
it.
Tiie Chinese minister at Washing¬
ton says his country has no idea of
retaliating on the United States by
expelling all of our citizens who are
now in China and forbidding the Oil-
trance of any articles from this
(JCuntry.
The CarKfssille Railroad,
Franklin county low a great oppor¬
tunity before h< v if n!io will take ad¬
vantage of it,
Tht* CaruesvHlc railroad is nearly
secured, and at the .same time is
nearly lost— and if lost, hopelessly
lost! The R. & D, company's
operation is at <nir service if we arc
willing to conic up and do our part.
This willingness to co-ope.nvto with
us will be withdrawn if our people
do pot act together and show that
they mean business. The commence¬
ment of work has already been de¬
layed on account of negligence, and
the dissatisfaction among the stock¬
holders can be attributed to the same
thing,
Every man that has stock sub¬
scribed would bo willing to donate it
to secure the road, but thinks there
is a chance for the road without his
doing this.
Here is where the mistake lies.
The R. & I), company have pro¬
posed to act very liberally with us,
and they do not propose t> be ham¬
pered by a few stock-holders that
might cause them considerable
trouble. Some say that if they can¬
not retain their stock that they will
not subscribe at a Ik This is the
worst view that can possibly lie taken
of the matter, for if unmistakably
means that we wiii get no road—-for
tho Richmond & Danvill company
positively say that the road must be
theirs absolutely unincumbered. It
is hard to see why any man would
want stock in it ns an investment,
No line as short as it iiiil clear any
dividends with the present low rates
if freight, and to put the freights tip
to where stock will be a good invest¬
ment is to eternally hold the town
down ns a business point, for high
freights will ruin any town.
There is but one way for us to view
the matter: How much can 1 donate
to tin 1 absolute securing of a railroad
to Oarnesville ? or, IIow much am 1
willing to pay to keep the road from
falling through, knowing at the same
time that it is certain to fall through
unless 1 do donate this amount?
This is the point that every man
that is interested must see, for on
this line, and this alone, will the road
be secured or lost.
The work that we are required to
do will not cost over ten thousand
dollars, and wc think the amount
will be less than tliit*.
Think of a county worth three
millions of dollars letting such a val¬
uable enterprise as (his fall through
when it will only cost one-third'of
one per cent, of what the county is
worth to secure it!
Think of a tow n that is worth over
one hundred thousand dollars balking
iat five thousand when the completion
of the road would enhance its value
one hundred per cent!
These figures may look, large and
imaginary, but when you look at them
right they are cold facts..
If this enterprise falls through it
will be the greatest, plunge backward
that this county has. ever taken, and
will never be recovered until another
generation grows up. Our farmers
will continue to haul their cotton to
other towns and other counties, and
their fertilizers from the same places.
They will continue to scud their sons
and daughters to other places to se¬
cure an education, and they will con¬
tinue to look elsewhere for situations.
The amount spent this way would
build-us a road every few years.. Wo
will continue to st ruggle and others
will grow rich off of our labors, and
we will finally ga down under such
disadvantages. But build this road,
and what a leap in progress in every
industry is beyond our calculation.
Let every man interested come to
the meeting Saturday evening (to¬
morrow) determined to do his duty
in this important, spatter, and it will
be the proudest work of his life.
To Oppose Turner.
The farmers’ Alliance of the Sec¬
ond congressional district have put
out Judge James 11, (merry against
Hon. Henry G. Turner the present
incumbent.

A Legitimate Issue,
We have urged in these columns
on former occasions the great need of
speedy legislation in regard to the
“original package” law. The decis¬
ion df the supremo court of the Unit¬
ed States makes this infamous law a
licensed terror in every prohibition
state or section in the Union. State
rights are being ignored and tram¬
pled down on every band; the local
prohibition sections are being out¬
raged daily, and this great govern¬
ment which lias so proudly boasted
of her liberty in governmental affairs
seems to be fast drifting to centrali¬
zation. The press and the leaders of
the two great parties are afraid to
open their moths against the infamy
for fear they will lose the corrupt
following of the whisky ring. Such
silence under the circumstances is
anything but manly, and those who
only from a policy standpoint are not
true leaders. IIow is this wrong to
bo righted ? Where will the justice
come from that will give these prohi¬
bitionists tho right of local self-gov¬
ernment in their wishes? Only
through the United States congress.
That body alone can give this relief
and this justice. Hew can we get
this relief from congress? Only
through our representatives to that
congress. Now you see the point—
the j-s'.ie is plain. It is ceitain to
rise for a hearing sooner or later, and
it is our duty to see how our con¬
gressional aspirants stand on this im¬
portant matter.
The Colored Alliance.
The colored farmers’state Alliance
will hold its state meeting in Macon
Julv lfith. Each sub-alliance in the
statu will send delegates to the meet¬
ing. The ce lorei! Alliance of Geor¬
gia numbers nearly sixty thousand.
An Exchange w'dl be formed in At¬
lanta, Mu*.-.on or Americas. Con¬
tracts wilt be made with loading
houses either in Macon or Atlanta
for farmers’ supplies. Mr. Northen
has been invited to make an alliance
talk the 17th inst.
A Grand Demonstration.
There will be a big Alliance picnic
at Liberty Hill July 25th. Several
noted orators will be present, such as
('apt. Harry Brown and T. L. Gantt,
and perhaps others. A broad invi¬
tation is extended to everybody to
come, and especially we ask oursi.sier
Alliances to come with well-filled
baskets and participate with us. Mr.
Editor, come and spend a gala day
with the true Alliaticemen of this
section. A. D. Iv.

The Circulars of the Immortals.
Certain circulars recently sent out
by the “Immortal *21” arc beneath
our contempt, Such methods as
theirs simply bespeak the men. It
must he profoundly humiliating to
them that their actions are consid¬
ered a disgrace by the whole outside
world, not excepting Judge Lawson
and Mr. Olivo and their friends,
Wilkes county will place its foot
of scorn and indignation upon the at¬
tempt to pollute its fair name by such
base conduct, and lion. Frank Colley
will not be ashamed of tho result.
His county and his friends will take
care of him, let his enemies pursue
him as they will. All manner of vile
rumors have been set afloat about
him, and when ho advertised that he
would answer before the whole coun¬
ty, anything and everything that
might be preferred, not a charge was
advanced. Ho pronounced them all
false, proven by the silence of his
tradueers to be false, and dismissed
them forever. That was several
weeks ago, and since then he has
been in the upper counties of the dis¬
trict, meeting the people whose votes
he solicits. . He will not return soon
to Wilkes because he knows he is all
right here.
We submit: Is it fair, is it honor¬
able, to still pursue him with rumors
with which they would dare not face
him? Wc answer, no! a thousand
times, no!
The “open address” speaks of the
h\ve and enthusiastic meeting of the
“twenty-one.” There were, we learn,
not over forty taking part in it, and
it was certainly a secret meeting.
There is no sane man in the coun¬
ty, who for one moment, doubts that
lion. F. II. Colley will carry Wilkes
county by a vote large enough to sat¬
isfy his most sanguine friends. His
majority will be at least five to cue.
J. A. Timmerman knows that Dr.
uavikson unequivocally and
lately exhor.erat.es Hon. F. II. Colley
from all, even the slightest, blame,
that instead of alleging to be injured
by Mi - . Colley, he proclaims himself
his true and steadfast friend, with an
all-abiding faith.in his honor; and yet
lie, Timmerman, continues to circu¬
late reports and printed matter about
It Is affair, evidently intending to
make a'false impression.
lion. F. TL Colley being absent,
and the “21” having seen tit to allude
to us, we beg to offer these remarks
to the public.
