Georgia is worse split politically than she has been since the war. In¬ dependent candidates, both as anti- Allianeemen and as Alliancemen, are onterig the field all over the State. The Alliance candidates claim that they arc as good Democrats as there are in the State, and that they are making their fig’*t entirely within the Democratic ranks, and are willing to abide by the result. The Demo¬ cratic or anti-AUiancc candidates ciaim that they ail* better Democrats than the Alliance candidates, who they admit are fighting inside the Democratic ranks, but are not using Democratic methods to secure their success. The Alliance candidates say that while they arc as true Dem¬ ocrats as can be found, they also feel obligated to especially represent tlu* Alliance organization, and must in¬ sist oil the order standing to its can¬ didates. The anti-Alliance or Dem- 4 M •ratic candidates charge that the position taken by Alliance candidates is not Democratic, and if persisted in xi ill cause a new party to spring up and thereby greatly injure or destroy the Democratic party. There are men and newspapers in the State that are anxious to keep the leal sit- u ition from the people, and pretend that Georgia's political sky is as dear as over before, but such state¬ ments are false, and the authors had better inform themselves or stop their deception. The situation is bad, and well-informed people know it. Alt classes arc seeking office, and everything is being practiced, from pulpit scheming and hypocrisy down to grog-shop debauchery and corrup¬ tion, and honest men had as soon sup¬ port the latter as the former meth¬ ods. It is a bad time for honest, fearless men to get office, but there never was a time when they were worse needed. The Benefits Accomplished by the Alliance. While the Alliance as an order has made some serious mistake, any man with observation can see that they have accomplished some great and lasting benefits. The most impor¬ tant one probably is the deep-planted spirit of rigid economy that is being practiced by the order. This priori pie underlies success in every legiti¬ mate business, and when combined with energy and judgment guarantees success. Then the order has created a wide-spread thirst for better edu¬ cation, auii the benefits in this line are incalculable. Men who hereto¬ fore never saw a newspaper or farm journal are now close readers of solid and instructive matter. This mani¬ festation ft r information promises much for tlu* future prosperity of the country, for when the head is rightly informed there is not much trouble about the rest. Let tlu* order rid it¬ self of tin* drawbacks and continue its efforts for education and independ¬ ence, and the fair minded people of the country will bid it God speed from every quarter. Judge Richard IT. Clarke, of the Stone Mountain circuit, is a candidate for the supreme bench. This makes the race triangular—Judge Rlaml- ford, the present incumbent; Judge Samuel J. Lumpkin, of the North¬ ern circuit, and Judge Clark. The Konne-Euuipkin sensation seems to have put on breaks, but sus¬ picion and evidence is there, and some parties connected with this matter stands berore the public disgraced, even if they are eontoicuoiisly silent. The Comptroller General's returns show that the property of Georgia has increased 1ft per cent, in the last year. The gain is over 830,000,000. General Gordon and Colonel Liv¬ ingston have mended their blanket, but still they object to sleeping un¬ der the same “kiver.” Colonel Thomas Norwood and Governor Gordon are having some ti’iigh words for each other of late duy«. - *— — ■» .... . ..........

The farmers and the producing people genet ally arc unanimous in their demands for a larger circulat¬ ing medium with which to handle the products of labor when it be¬ comes necessary to put them on the market. The producers are fixed in their belief that the money of the country is controlled by too small a number of her citizens, hence their demands for relief through legixla- tion. The monetary problem is a deep and complicated one, and calls for tin* best heads in the land to fairly and safely adjust it. Among the many remedies that have been sug¬ gested for relief, none have been without their faults and discrimina¬ tions. The sub-treasury plan has gained a stronger following and also a stronger opposition for its short pe¬ riod of existence than any proposed legislation that has been before the people in many years, especially in the cotton grow ing states. The cot¬ ton producers claim that stringency in the money market is so common when they are marketing this their chief product, at the time they arc compelled to meet outstanding con¬ tracts and obligations that the price is greatly depressed, and that they lose thousands of dollars yearly be¬ cause of an unjust manipulation of the circulating medium at this par¬ ticular time. Feeling that there is being a great injustice perpetrated on them in this matter the farmers of the south have determined to get re¬ lief if possible. The better posted Alliancemen say that they do not ex¬ pect the sub-treasury bill in its pres¬ ent shape to become a law, but that they must have legislation on this line., that is to make the produets of labor the basis for the issuance of the circulating medium. There is no doubt but that the wide-spread in¬ terest being manifested in this mnttci will result in much good to the coun¬ try in the cml. Our people need educating in the financial and com¬ mercial government, and this agita¬ tion promises much on this line. It is the duty of all to study the situa¬ tion without prejudice and to reach a conclusion that will be just to all classes. Court Week Pencilings. To the observer court week is full of diversified study and peculiarities. It is a time when tbc rank and file from the highest to the lowest comes in contact, and tin* mingling mass presents many interesting individu¬ alities. From early Monday morning when the first smoke circlcsjabove the judges cigar, until late Saturday evening when the last jockey leaves the bone-yard with smoked face and empty bottle the scene is one contin¬ ued panorama. Among the faces that appear Monday morning will be seen the down east, who dreads the judge and the jury, for lie feels in his heart that his ease is a bad one. Rut. as there is hope as long as there is life, he at times braces himself and courts the fates. Whatever preju¬ dice there may be against the lawyer, hi* wins the admiration of all when lit* steps into the shoes of the lowest peasant and makes the ease of the client his own, until righteous justice has been awarded. It is in tlu* court house that the lawyer shows his su¬ perior knowledge and sympathy for humanity. Tlu* learned jurist dis¬ plays a noble spirit when lie to sleep as long as bis i bents rights are in danger. Hut the bar with all of its learning and pleadings, is more interesting to the observer than the hilarity of tlu* jockey ground. There men meet on common ground and every man is his own judge and jury. Honor and veracity are dis¬ carded, there are no partners, every man plays his own hand, and lie holds trumps or not, if he* wins the game it is considered fair. Not with¬ standing the jockeys contest every inch of the long end of tlu* rope while they are on the grounds, they stick to each other in camp like broth¬ ers. When the swapping has about concluded and tlu* jockeys realize that they must soon part, they form them¬ selves in a large circle, and the real and true jockey shows his brothers in cause the stuff that he is made of, and pledges himself to remain faithful until another six months roll around and they meet again. There arc* er interesting feature's connected with court week, that-arc not without their instruction, and taken as a whole court weeks are pleasantly anticipated Governor (Jordon and Hon. Thos. Norwood seem to he made of the same kind of stuff. The post office Inspector lias roc- on linended free* delivery for the city Athens. lorpu H. Looney’s Call!. THE GENTLEMAN. It was Tliackcrv that in his own quaint inimitable style once said: “A gentleman is a rarer gentleman than many of us imagine.” To Ik* a gen¬ tleman in the full sense of the word, lie means, requires such a fund of endowment, that in its perfection i! is rardy met with. Neither birth, nor fortune, nor any adventitious circum¬ stance can bestow upon an individual this plcroma of human accomplish¬ ments. Merc birth will not do it, even in countries where the rank of the parents is allowed to give titles of nobility to the child, men of the high¬ est rank are found in the lowest scale of virtue and honor. Wealth cannot give it, for it is a well-worn expres¬ sion of an observed fact, that the more money a man has the more dan¬ ger of his soul becoming smaller. And it must not be forgotten that the essence of the character is iu the in¬ ner, not the outer man. Even education, in the ordinary acceptation of the term, can not mould the boy into the man that is to be indeed a gentleman. We grant, of course, that, in the true sense of the word, education will develop the gentleman. It is the silent sculptor within that must chisel the native block into the statue of grace and beauty. Not even politeness, that de- liglitful flower that blooms on the stem of humanity, is always indica¬ tive of the real gentleman; for it is often assumed, and worn as a savage may wear the dress of a prince, or a craven put on the epaulets of a hero. Politeness, when genuine and in-born, is the outcome of a gentleman, but the converse of the proposition does not therefore follow, that a gentle¬ man is the result of politeness. The truth is, that the qualities that combine to form the true gentleman are of two kinds, the acquired and the native, or, in other words, the in¬ tellectual and the emotional. One is not sufficient without the other. The mind may be as the diamond polished until it is a marvelous blaze of scintil- lant glory; and yet it' the moral nat¬ ure w ithin be low and mean there is no gentleman there. On the other hand, the moral ^proclivities may be all right, and yet if there is no mind to direct them, then again there is no gentleman there. We know noth¬ ing better with which to i lose this short article than tin* gentle admoni¬ tion of Sir Walter Scott to his son- in-law Lockhart. The great anther was lying on his death-bed, and to tlu* weeping friend and son that stood beside him, he uttered the last words lie ever spoke: “lie a good man my dear.” Solomon in his day said: “Of making many books there is no end!” What would lie say about it if lu* lived in this day? Guess. Would you eat the bread of sorrow? Leaven with error, mix with impu¬ dence, knead with recklessness, and bake iu an oven of dissipation. —♦ « Let those of us who arc disposed to lu* arrogant in regard to our good¬ ness remember that moral perfection on this earth is as unattainable as intellectual. Cheerfulness is a blessing beyond j j wealth, beyond beauty, beyond tal- ! j lent, beyond fame. It is a shade in I tlu* sun-glare of prosperity, and a warm robe in the bitter winds of ad¬ versity. It is the central inspiration of sot ‘ ial Vlk p aml ,1k> ° Inor v whcd . i " h h diamond dust polishes the jewel of intellect. The fanatic and the bigot go hand in hand amid the gardens of earth, and try only to see the tracks that their neighbors have made in their walks. The blush and bloom of the flowers is all lost to them. They would find fault with the song of the first brood of nightengales that bless¬ ed Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. And yet their own brains are like bladders, very thin, easily infla¬ ted, and as easily “busted.” There are students who aro always acquiring but never producing. Their winds arc like Pharoh’s lean kine, al- wavs eating and always poor, Tho worm that transforms the leaf it into resplendent robes for a queen to wear is a nobler examine. While Robert Rums, the poof, lived and wrote, the people let him j sUrvc - R<'t after he died they erect-! ed a stately monument to bis memo- ry. When his mother saw it slu* ! said: “Ah, Robbie, you asked for bread and they have given vou a i stone.” * * School opens October the Oth. Carnesville High School. .

A Letter from au Eminent Divine in Re¬ gard to the Best Medicine in the World. Read. WONDEUFFL CURES. Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 2, ’5)0. Six months ago, at the request of a friend who was intere-ted in the sale of King’s Royal Germetuer, 1 made a written statement of tlu* ben¬ efits I had received from the use of that medicine. In that statement 1 expressed the belief that it would cure me entirely of Catarrh. Within the last two months I have received letters from every quarter of the na¬ tion calling on me for further infor¬ mation in regard to my health. It has been impossible for me to write privately to. each person who has made this request, and I am there¬ fore under the necessity of making another statement. I am free from Catarrh. I beleivc that I could get a certificate to this effect from any competent physi¬ cian. 1 have used no medicine with- in the last six months except 1 Kings ° Royal Germetuer. My health is bet ter than it has been in thirty years. I ain in posession of information whieh warrants me in saving that the * relief which I have experienced from the use of the medicine is not more certain and radical than that which it has brought to hundreds of per¬ sons in Georgia and other States. I feel it to be my duty to say, al¬ so, that tlu* effects of this remedy upon my wife have been even more signal and wonderful. Slit* has been almost a life-long invalid from Ner¬ vous Headache, Neuralgia and rheu¬ matism. In a period of thirty years she has scarcely had a day’s exemption from pain. She has been using Ger¬ metuer about two months. A more complete transformation 1 have nev¬ er witnessed. Every symptom of disease has disappeared. Mhe ap¬ pears to be twenty years younger, and is as happy and playful as a healthy child. We have persuaded many of our friends to take icine, and the testimony of all them is that it is a great remedy. J. R. IIawtiiokm:, Pastor First Baptist Church. Royal Germetuer builds up from tlu* first dose, the patient quickly feeling its invigorating and health¬ giving influence. It increases the appetite, aids digestion, clears the complexion, regulates the liver, kid¬ neys, etc., and speedily brings bloom to the cheek, strength to the body and joy to tlu* heart. For weak and-debilitated females it is without a rival or peer.
