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. Sheriff Sales.

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. J. B. II.VWTIIOKXK, Pastor First Baptist Church. Koval Germetuer builds up from the 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 tho body and joy to the heart.
