PROCEEDINGS
Of the Democratic Executive Com¬
mittee Last Saturday.
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¬

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. Now, let
this organization sc*- that a few bosses
in its own ranks are kept in check.—
Athens Banner.
1 Ik.\i>i;kso.\ t should be defeated
fur commissioner of agriculture, lie
" :ls not willing for the people to se¬
lect their representative in this de¬
partment, aud the people should re¬
tire him.
A LAWYER by the name of J. A.
Baker, of Carteravilie, Ga., lias been
disbarred on account of corruption in
his practice. Iijs license has been
revoked and he will not he allowed
to practice any more in the Georgia
courts.

GEORGIA'S NEXT CONGRESSMEN.
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 com-
mittee on resolutions requests that
these gentlemen and the manage-

tendered special thanks by a rising
vote. \Vc assure them their kindness
will be long remembered by each of
us with feeling of pleasure.
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.
