Carnesviile, (in., November 14, 1 s!>«.
Nearly all of the republican lead¬
ers in the present congress have been
defeated. Democrats will take their
seats the 4th of next March.
The betterments claim by the old
lessees of the State road will come
np again in this legislature, The
amount of the claim is £525,009.
Larry Gantt says that if Fat Cal¬
houn is elected to the Senate that the
Alliance will fall to pieces, MeCune
to the contrary notwithstanding.

Hon. Hamilton McWhorter was
elected Judge in the Northern circuit
to till the unexpired term caused by
the resignation of Judge Lumpkin.

Congressman Blount, of the Sixth,
is a candidate for Speaker of the next
House. It is very probable that
Georgia will have two candidates or:
this office.

Tho Athens Banner says that .Toe
Brown's Italian hand is plainly seen
in the fight against Gen. Gordon.
Wonder if the Banner exchanges v. i:!i
the Constitution?
Judge Sam Lumpkin, of the North¬
ern circuit, has been elected associ¬
ate justice to the Supreme bench in
Georgia, and now fills the place of
Justice Blandfovd.
The democratic majority in the
House of the 52d congress will be 154.
There were ninety republicans who
lost their seats on the 4th of Nov.
Tariff reform is what it means.

Mr. Hill, of Meriwether, intro¬
duced a bill in the House last Friday
to fix the salary of members at £1(50.
This would be £4 per day for forty
days. The bill will doubtless cause a
considerable tussle.
Governor Gordon addressed the
General Assembly Monday night in
behalf of bis candidacy for the United
States Senate. Mr. l’at Calhoun and
Judge Hines made speeches Wednes¬
day night in their interest.
---- * ♦ ——
Gantt says he does not like those
headquarters that Judge Hines and
the. other senatorial aspirants aro es¬
tablishing in Atlanta. It is plain to
the average mind that Brother Gantt
doesn’t like the senatorial situation
just now.
The consolidation of the Atlanta
Constitution and the Southern Alli¬
ance Farmer would be a happy com¬
bination, and from recent occurrences
in political matters, the people should
expect it. Capt. Harry Brown scorns
to be editor-in-chief of both already.
MeCune says he thinks Pat Cal¬
houn will be elected United States
Senator from Georgia. Many people
in Georgia think that Pat Calhoun
and his railroad have been getting
mighty close to Col. MeCune of late.
The big railroad and some of the
bosses are very “thick” just now.
Hon. N. J. Hammond, of Atlanta,
is being urged by his friends to make
the race for United States Senator.
He has not declared himself a candi¬
date, but consented to address the
legislature Thursday night on the po¬
litical situation. Col. Hammond is as
ablo, if not the ablest man in tho
state, and the legislature will make
no mistake if it elects him. We
would much rather see Hammond
elected than any of Gordon’s an¬
nounced opponents.
Governor Northen’s inaugural ad¬
dress was short, but simple, sensible
and conservative. He showed plainly
that there would be no discrimina¬
tions in his administration, but all
classes and professions should have
equal justice. He strongly attacked
our public school system, and de¬
clared that we had grown in illiteracy
ever since its establishment. Gov.
Northern has served many years in
the school room as teacher, and no
doubt knows as well as any man in
the State the needs of the people in
this line. It is to be hoped that the
matter will be kept before tbe people
lintii a better system is established.
Let Us Fight Whisky-Drinking and
Drunkenness.
Wo are of the opinion that the best
way to get rid of ovi! is to fight it,
and our idea of the most effectual
way to light it is to attack directly in
the face, never letting up until
retreats and right advances and takes
charge of its breast-works.
For a few months whisky-drinking
in this town and section lias been
grcatly on the increase, and each
week and day show that it is getting
worse. Tiie truth is that drunken¬
ness has become so common, so con¬
spicuous, and so outrageously inde¬
cent and immoral, that decent sober
people arc thoroughly disgusted, and
feel that the town and community
are being outraged.
There is rio use to wait for reform,
for each week will get worse until the
line is drawn and the fight is made.
All the drinking crowd wants is more
rein and the sober people's silence,
and they w ill increase their deviltry
ten-fold.
We know that the sober people in
this town and section are in the ma¬
jority, and they have a right to speak
in lids matter, and it i.. their duty to
speak. It is no excuse cr apology to
say that some who have been «h ink¬
ing are high-toned honorable gentle¬
men, and that if we attack them all
that wo will iiit some of our host men.
If some of our best citizens are di ink¬
ing to excess it makes it only that
much worse, for the influence for evil
is a hundred-fold greater than the
drunkard has who is hopelessly gom
and whom no one respects as a gen¬
tleman or seeks as a companion.
The man who gets drunk is unfit
for any business, and is not worthy
of the patronage of any people.
Money and influence, learning and
reputation, if they be tainted with in¬
temperance, are not worthy to rank
with poverty and sobriety.
We are no street corner watchers,
or eavesdroppers, but soberness
knows intoxication and debauchery
wherever it meets them, and they are
to he met any route you take. We
appeal to the older sober men of this
town and section, for the sake of
tho younger men, and for tlio sake of
the boys, and far the sake of the chil¬
dren, and for the sake of humanity in
general, to unite and route this evil.
Wo appeal to the young men of this
town, and to those who are here from
a distance attending our school, if
you ever intend to make men worthy
of the name, and to fill your station in
life among the leading and best men,
to abstain from wln.-by-drinking. ll
will pay von to he a teetotaler, The
chains are too small too small to be
felt until they are too large to be
broken. A school of lit! pupils is an
honor to any small town. It is an
honor to any man to be chief instruct¬
or of that number of pupils. There
arc others who are wanting to come
and intend to come to swell the num¬
ber, but as certain as the sun rises in
the east each morning there is evil in
the premises which, if not destroyed,
will as certainly tear up tho founda¬
tion of tliis magnificent school we are
building as the sun courses the heav¬
ens and sets in the '.vest.
There is something that we wi. hto
call especial attention to, and it is
this: There is a hole or den, or worse
if you please, on the public square of
Carnesviile that is a disgaace to civi¬
lized people. Every one, as he reads
this, knows where it is. Xo decent
man can enter it with a clean con¬
science unless his mission he purely
business. We call on the sober people
of this town to purge it or break it up.
To our merchants we would urge
to clean your stocks of tonics, etc.,
and handle nothing that will make a
doggery of your place of business.
We have spoken plainly and very
nearly personally, but what we have
said is in behalf of temperance and
sobriety, and we promise now that
unless there is a change for better,
the half lias not been told.
A project is on foot to erect an
inebriate assy bum at Indian Springs,
in tins State, under tho directions of
the W. C. T. U. it is said that the
water from these Springs will
drunkness and restore the vigor of
former years dissipation.
The public mind has been
diced against 5\ oolfe.lk, says the
Athens Ledger, and it is mainly due
to the newspaper reports. Tom
\\ oolfolk was executed without one
particle of postive evidence. It was
purely circumstantial.
The Atlanta Constitution urges flu*
state to put an electric light on top
of the new capital.
Winn defeated Parson Pickett by
5,000 majority.
The Senatorial Eacc.
Xext Tuesday the Georgia Login-
lat arc will elect a United States Sen-
ator to succeed lion. Joseph K,
Brown.
The whole State, and in fact the
whole South, feels a great interest in
knowing the man that will receive
the honor. There are about seven
or eight declared candidates, besides
several dark horses who arc hoping
to got the combined opposition to
Gen. Gordon, which is known by
everybody to be a large part of the
Alliante delegation. The opponents
of Gen. Gordon find that they have
underestimated his strength, and the
strongest of them fail to muster a fol¬
lowing equal to his.
The anti-Gordon faction has held
several caticusses, but have been un¬
able to unite on any one that could
defeat him. I 'oik, MeCune, Living¬
ston, and other Alliance leaders, if
reports arc trite, are doing all in their
power to defeat Gordon. But in spite
of their efforts many of the Alliance
members declare they will support
Gordon i.i preference to any man.
The Atlanta Constitution, which
has been putting in some underhanded
knife in-the-back licks against Gor¬
don, underrating Ids real strength,
lias begun to weaken, and although
Gordon may yet be defeated, there is
no doubt Ilia opponents and cnemirs
dread the result.
We will ace what we will see, and
we arc prepared for anything, even
the election of Fat Calhoun, as unrea¬
sonable as it may seem.
The Price of Gotten.
The decline in cotton, without any
evidence of an advance soon, causes
a wide spread feeling of uneasiness
in the business circles of Georgia,
and probably in other states. There
are many causes which seem reason¬
able for tho depression in the cotton
market. One cause is that the Oc¬
tober rains greatly damaged the
quality, causing much of it to be
blued, which is always had stock on
the market. Another cause is the
unprecedented large crop, the aver¬
age estimates being seven and
three-quarter millions of bales, and
many believe it will reach eight mil¬
lions. Another, and probable the
chief cause, is the stringency in the
money market, which does not prom¬
ise any early relief. The last few
days have witnessed many heavy
failures throughout the country, in¬
cluding many what were considered
strong banks. Jobbing merchants
in the large cities have failed for mil¬
lions, and at some of the chief com¬
mercial centers, they are having what
might properly be termed panics.
The situation as a whole makes the
outlook for advance in cotton any
time soon rather gloomy.

A Letter from an Eminent Divine in Re¬

World. Read.
WOXDKHFUX CUKES.
Arr.Axr.t, Ga., Jan. 2, ’GO.
Six months ago, at the request of
a friend who was interested in the
sale of King’s Royal Germetuer, I
made a written statement of the ben-
efifs I had received from the use of
that medicine. In that statement I
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, anil I am there¬
fore under the necessity of making
another statement.
I am free from Catarrh. Ibeleive
that 1 could get a certificate to this
effect from any competent physi¬
cian. I have used no medicine with¬
in the last six months except King’s
Royal Germetuer. My health is bet¬
ter than it has been in thirty years.
I am in pogessiou of information
which warrants me in saying that the
relief which I have experienced from
the use cf 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 the effects of this remedy
upon my wife have been even more
signal and wonderful. She lias been
almost a life-long invalid from Ner¬
vous Headache, Neuralgia and rheu¬
matism. In a period of thirty years
S ; K , ] s ^s scarcely had a day’s exemption
trom pain. .She has been u.-ing Ger-
metuor about two months. A more
complete transformation I have nev¬
er witnessed. Every symptom of
disease has disappeared. She ap¬
pears to he twenty years younger,
and is as happy and playful as a
healthy child. We have persuaded
many of our friends to take the med¬
icine, and the testimony of all of
them is that it is ;i great remedy.
