Whereas, at a mass meeting of the democratic party of Franklin county held at Carnesvillo on the first Tues¬ day in July, 1890, it was ordered that a primary election he held for governor, state home officers and congressman for the Eighth congres¬ sional district, raid election tube held under such rules and regulations as might he prescribed by the executive committee of said county, and in obe¬ dience to the call of the chairman of said committee the* following mem¬ bers of said committee J. 15.

All democrats qualified to vote for members of the legislature shall he entitled to vote in said primary elec¬ tion. July III, ’90. J. 15. Paisks, Chairman Dorn. Ex. Com. lb D. Yow, Secretary. EDITORIALLY PARAGRAPHED. Tin: Athens Banner and Ledger are now now showing up each Olli¬ er’s merits. There is no Ik- tter man in the state for commissioner of agriculture than farmer J. B. Ilunnicutt, Tub Atlanta Constitution and the Macon Telegraph are saying some very mean things of each other. Livinc.ston's ambition will most likely answer from Gov. Gordon on the sub-treasury bill than he gave some time since. IIox. 1L:m;y <L Tv user will he returned to congress to succeed him¬ self. There is no better man in the state than Turner. Am. the Georgia members who were in congress voted for the “orig¬ inal package” bill. They were Crisp, Candler, Lester and Carlton. Tiie South Carolina democracy is badly split, and the chances for the republicans to elect the next govern¬ or seems to be very favorable. Tin: Atlanta Constitution very ably urges the South to withdraw her trade from the northern states if the force bill should become a law. Evbjjy man in the state is interest- ed iu the agricultural department, and should vote for the best man That man is the lion. J. 15. Hunni- cutt. IIox. John 1*. Bn uanan has been nominated as democratic governor of Tennessee. Buehauau is president of the Farmers’ and Laborers’ Union in that State. Tun Alliance has defeated tho pol¬ iticians and ring-rulers.

Those Who Will Succeed Themselves And Those that Defeated, Are Likely to Bo In the First district Lester will he returned without opposition, In the Second district Turner will succeed himself. In the Third district Crisp will he returned. In the Fourth district C. L. Moses’ chances are the best out of live can¬ didates, (flames, the present incum¬ bent, will likely he defeated, In the Fifth district Hon. L. F. Livingston will be elected. Stewart has withdrawn from the race. In the Sixth district Blount will most likely succeed himself. In the Seventh district the race is doubtful between Everett and Clem¬ ents, with chances in Everett’s favor. In the Eighth district the matter i; doubtful, with chances somewhat in favor of Lawson. In the Ninth district the race is doubtful, the strength of Winn and Tate being nltout the same. In the Tenth district it looks like Watson will defeat Barnes. Over $18,000 Increase. The tax books show that the ('urncsviMe district has gained in property in the last year over eighteen thousand dollars. This increase shows nuqnc.'tioiifibty that Franklin county is prospering, for there is no reason why all the other districts should not have gained in tho same proportion with the Carnesvillo dis- trict, and if so the county s propet t\ has increased in the last vear one hundred thousand dollars. The gain in the Oirnosville district alone shows that wo could build tho Carnesvillo railroad and never feel it. • The “Original Bill" Passed. The decision of the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme court in regard to “original packages” a few months since has caused much dissat¬ isfaction among the prohibitionists of the whole country. Immediately congress went to work to right the matter, and below we give the bill which has passed both houses: “That whenever any article of commerce is imported into any state from another state, territory or for¬ eign nation, and there held or offered for sale, the shall then he subject to the laws of such state, provided that no discrimination shall lie made by any state in favor of its citizens against those of other stales and ter¬ ritories in ref poet to the sale (if any article of commerce; nor in favor of its own products against those of a like character produced in other states or territories; nor shall the transportation of commerce through any state be obstructed,except in the necessary enforcement of tho health laws of such state.” © Livingston vs. Gordon. Since the withdrawal of Judge Stewart from the congressional race in the Fifth district, it gives Living¬ ston an unquestionable* walk over Hulsey, and he is as good as elected to congress, but the news comes now that Livingston’s ambition is not sat- isfied by being elected to congress, but will contest with Gov. Gordon before the next Legislature, which will be composed largely of Alliance- men, for the United States senator- ship. Livingston lias a national rep¬ utation as a leader, and as there will he many Ailianeemen in tho lower house of congress, it is hut natural that they should work for a leader like Livingston in the senate. The time has been when Gordon was the greatest leader in the state, hut now it is doubtful. We will see what w e will see. Lawson, Colley and Olive. All three of the above gentlemen, who are candidates for congress in this district, made speeches to a gath¬ ering of six or eight hundred people at the court house Saturday last. Each one of the gentlemen made splendid speeches and had a close, respectable hearing. Each candidate had considerable following in the au¬ dience, and the county may be placed in the doubtful column, liable to fall . ^ one of ,. the , three, , — Congressmen Crisp’s letter in opposition , , tlu* Mib-trca.nyy bill to is considered the ablest yet written. THE EDITORS GIVE THANKS. Resolutions of the Georgia Weekly Press Association. Your committee on resolutions sub¬ mit the following: It. has ever afforded the Georgia Weekly Press Association pleasure to attest its appreciation of those who contribute in the slightest degree in making its annual sessions pleasant and successful. Following the bent of this inclination we desire, in be¬ half of the association— 1. To express our acknowledge¬ ments to the railroads whose kindness has mrde it possible for the Associa¬ tion to have so large attendance of members on the occasion of its fourth annual meeting at Fort Valley, and t he consequent agreeable and profit¬ able session, via: The Georgia, Cen¬ tral system, Covington and 31neon, Savannah, Florida and Western sys¬ tem, .Marietta and North Georgia, Western and Atlantic, Richmond and Danville, Georgia Southern and Flotida, Atlanta atul Florida, West¬ ern Railway of Alabama, and the Wrightsville and Dublin, These railroads have always recognized the fact that, without the hearty co-op¬ eration of the press, their efforts at material development are futile and powerless, and therefore, have un- hesitatingly lent us their encourage- ment when our wants and wishes have been made known. Your corn- mittoc expresses tho hope that the amicable relations existing between these prime fact -rs in tlie progress atul development of our fair State may he continued and .treiigtlicned with cadi succeeding year. 'J. Our heartiest acknowledgments are due the local press and citizens of Fort Valley for the exceeding lies- pi table manner in which we have been entertained at our fourth annual ses- ...j onj a .,d we assure them that our visit to their lovely and promising city will be long and pleasantly re¬ membered by a grateful fraternity. -May the progress of Fort Valley’s press and people ever be upward and onward until their united efforts ripen into a happy fruition of successful labor. The magnificent banquet given by the citizens of Fort Valley, in honor of our visit to their city, on the evening of July 8,1890, will long Ik* remembered as an oasis in the desert of our lives. Fort Valley has ever been famed for the beauty, eul- lure and refinement of her daughters, and by the queenly grace with which her young ladies presided over the sumptuous feast, and their modest and prompt attention assigned to them, they have added fresh laurels to their well deserved reputation. We would prove recreant to the trust conlidcd to us did we not tender them our most sincere thanks and heartfelt wishes for their life-long prosperity and happiness. To the various speakers who so kindly assisted us m the consumalkm of our part of the banquet program we express our most profound thanks. 3. Bro. W. A. Allen and Capt. John (5. McPhaul, proprietor of the Moselle Vineyard, Poulan, lias our thanks for a quantity of delicious grapes. For their kind thoughtful¬ ness we wish them long life and great prosperity. 4. We tender special thanks to Air. G. P. Howard, general passenger agent of the Atlanta and Florida rail¬ road, for his prompt attention and uniform courtesies extended to mem¬ bers who passed over his route to the meeting. 5. We are also under special obli¬ gations to the Georgia Southern and Florida railroad for the courtesy of an excursion to St. Augustine, Fla., and placing the elegant coach No. 8 at our disposal for our comfort and pleasure during the trip. In this con¬ nection we tender our special thanks to Triffie-3Iunager A. (». Knapp and Superintendent S. O. I logo for ar¬ ranging the trip for us, and to Bro. W. M. Kersh for his untiring energy in conducting the excursion and look¬ ing after the wants of the party. (5. To 3!r. B. W. Angel], superin¬ tendent Hotel Alcazar, we are under special obligations for reduced rates during our stay in St. Augustine. The kindness of Senator O. B. Smith, proprietor of the Evening News, in giving its a sail on tlu* beautiful St Augustine bay and North river to North lleaeh and return deserves more than passing notice from us, also (apt. llenry -Mareotte, stall' cor¬ respondent of the Jacksonville Time.s- Umon, who kindly gave us a sail to Anastasia Island, the Lighthouse and South Beach ami return, and a surf hath for the entire party.

The members of the Association nro respectfully requested to publish these resolutions in their papers, and the local press of St. Augustine are requested to publish so much of these resolutions as refer to our entertain¬ ment in their city.
