OUE SCHOOL BOOMIEG.
Thirty-Six Addition* to the Fall Tarm
Boll, Making an Enrollment
Of 152 Pupil* Since the
School Opened.
Carnesville is greatly pleased with
her educational outlook.
Prof. Looney’s opening lecture on
Monday morning was pointed and
masterly. He gave his pat runs to
understand that he was too big a
man to tolerate the petty dictations
common to teachers in small tow ns.
He also plainly intimated that no
town could retain his services with¬
out furnishing a suitable building,
and otherwise showing they appre¬
ciated his ability. Every word left
its impress and could not he niiscon-
*tr led. Our people see and accept
the situation. They have gone to
work in earnest, and w ill soon liave
a school building more than twice as
large as the present one, with splen¬
did accommodations as to apartments.
The building when completed will
accommodate 250 pupils, and we have
about decided to till it.

EDITORIALLY PARAGRAPHED.
Col. L. F. Livingston, in a speech
at Fayetteville, Ga., a few days ago,
used the following remarkable lan¬
guage: “Last fall when the cotton
future men determined to drop the
price of cotton to 8 cents, a few of
us met in the Kimball House and
■prung a trap, and it kept the price
of cotton up all over this Southern
country. Still the outsiders ridiculed
th* poor hayseed farmers for dicker¬
ing with cotton.” For a man to
make such a statement as the above
U to tell the people he is a fool, or
they are. Every intelligent man in
the Stato that is at all posted knows
such ridiculous statements to be bare¬
faced lies. If “a few- of us” can
“meet at the Kimball House and
spring a trap” that w ill cause the
whole South to get better prices for
their cotton we think it high time
there was another trap being
“sprung,” Livingston has more
cheek than principle.
The Georgia State Alliance Ex¬
change advanced a Dalton concern
85,000 last fall for cotton bagging, to
be delivered later in the season.
There was complaint that the bag¬
ging was not coming up to coutraot
and the Exchange refused to take the
bagging out, and demanded the re¬
funding of the money, wdiich the con¬
cern refused to do, contending the
goods were acoording to contract.
The exchange has brought suit to re-
C v. r money. The Exchange should
be advised not to pay for good* be¬
fore they were received.
Here is another of Col. Livingston s
patriotic utterance* in his k ayetts-
T»le speech: “I am going to tell you
something don’t you do it, though.
The farmers can hold their cotton
ninety days and break every bank in
this country.” No man that lias the
good of the country at heart would
mako such a statement, if he thought
It true. Honest men everywhere
should denounce such political lepers.
The farmer* of Franklin county—-
and in fact the whole South.—would
like for Livingston and “a few of us”
to raeot at the “Kimball House” at
once and “spring a trap.” Tho price
of cotton l* very unsatisfactory, and
debt* are compelled to he paid.
Please fix the trigger* at once and
greatly oblige a suffering public.
Five men go to the penitentiary in
the great Hall-Forsyth conspiracy
ease which has attracted so much at¬
tention in Macon and throughout the
country for several weeks. Three
men are sentenced for life and two
for six and ten year* each.
Senator Vance must be a cousin to
John B. Gordon, from the way he has
downed the bosses and gone back to
the United States senate in spite of
♦hem. Gordon and Vance are big-
ger men than the Alliance bosses.

Last Wednesday was the quietest
county election held in Franklin for
a long time. Whisky drinking was
hardly noticahle, and the usual “treat-

crowd was in Carnesville, almost a
third of the votes cast in the county
being (Killed at this place. Owing to
lack of time we do not give the vote

Th* Price of Cotton.
There arc many inquiries and opin¬
ions as to the cause of the present
low price of cotton. We hear opin¬
ions expressed that seem to us have
been formed for the lack of informa¬
tion. There is a strong feeling in the
country that the capitalists are mak¬
ing a tremendous effort to whip, as
they call it, the farmers, and there-
fore will not give them the value of
their product. We do not believe
this. We are firm believer* in the
great law of supply and demand fix¬
ing the price of such large and valu¬
able crops as the cotton. Supply
seeks demand and demand seeks sup¬
ply, and there are no powers on earth
that can keep them from finding each
other. The pulse of the exchange*
and board* of trade beat in every
malitia district ou the globe, and hap-
pily for the whole people every ah-
normal throb is detected by these
commercial safe-guards and at once
forced to it* normal state. T he pur-
chasing world will not enter the
market until estimates of supply and
demand have been thoroughly inves¬
tigated. If the supply is found to he
greater than the demand, products
are accordingly lower, and if the de¬
mand is greater than the supply, the
products arc accordingly higher.

Silver Knock* Out th* Forco Bill
Last Monday was a red-letter day
for the anti-force bill members of the
United States Senate. The

fight was squarely between free com-
age of silver and the force bill as to
which was the more important
lation. A vote of 84 to 2‘J showed
that the tree coinage lull was

EE CURSED JSFP DAVIS,
And He Got s Well-Deeenred Whip¬
ping for to Doing.
The Albany, Ga., New* and Ad-
verti»er nay*: A* the reporter was in
at Gilbert’* drug store Thursday
night talking to tile general proprie.
tor, a heavy-set, fair-complexioned
stranger, with slightly grizr.led hair
and whiskers, staggered in.
His general appearance indicated
that his ’Xmas imbibitions had been
frequent, and a cut under his left
®. ve * from which trickled a little
stream of blood, further created the
suspicion that he had struck a snag.
He asked the proprietor for some-
t | ling to aH>!jr to his face w hieh
would prevent it from becoming
black. The look of inquiry winch
druggist and reporter gave him,
and before the remedy which he ask¬
ed for could lie suggested, brought
forth the remark from the stranger
that he had expected to find geutle-
man in Albany, but bad failed. The
druggist and reporter resented this
remark, and the stranger subsided
into a more respectful manner.
Mr. Gilbert finally told the stran¬
ger that a piece of raw beef steak ap-
plied to his wound would prevent his
face from becoming black. The re¬
porter then carried him over to Ed¬
ward’s lieef market, and securing a
piece of steak, gave it to him and
left.
Subsequent inquiry as to how the
stranger had been wounded divulged
the fact that while engaged with a
citizxii in playing pool at the Rialto,
he had cursed the name of Jefferson
Davis, which the citizen resented, and
w as al>out to put in feeling form with
a billiard cue, when others interfered,
and the stranger was hustled into the
streets. He returned three times to
renew the difficulty, and was finally
struck under the eye by one of the
bartenders with his fist.
He then left the bar-room and
went to the drug store, as before
stated.
The police subsequently arrested
the stranger and placed him in the
lockup. He refused to divulge his
name, but yesterday sent a telegram
to Willingham, signed Nicholas, ask¬
ing for assistance from a friend at
that place.
A line of $10 for drunk and dis¬
orderly conduct was placed upon
hint, but until it is paid he will be
kept in durance. He only had $4
left over from bis spell.
Cursing Jefferson Davis got him
intro the trouble.
It is to be hoped that the favorable
outlook for a free coinage hill to
will advance the price of cotton.
