put up with no dictation from him.

Tbo congressional race in the Sec
ond is warming up, and promises,
with the advent of the summer, to
reach a comfortable heat, if it does
not become a little too hot for the
boys who arc roost exposed to the fire.
The announcement of Congressman
Bussell opens the field, candidates
are springing up on every hand, and
tbs collection of material was never
better, nor,the opportunity to select a
good and competent man more timely.
Col. J. W. Walters, of Albany, will
most probably be in the race, as he
has been rnnning on a small scale for
two years past. He is brainy and
able, and has many friends in this
section, having been for many years
solicitor for the Albany circuit. He
is an avowed advocate of free silver.
Among the most prominent candi
date* is Hon. W. M. Hammond, of
Thomasville, well known throughout
South Georgia a* an able and eloquent
orator, and an active partisan in sev
eral hotly contested campaigns, in
which he defendod the democratic
banner.
The resignation of Judge J, M.
Griggs, of the Pataula circuit, placed
him squarely in the race, and bis op
ponents will find him no mean foe.
His record, as a jurist is among the
first of the state, and his services to
the democratic paity of his district
and stato have been of tho best, as
all who remember his ringing speech
and effective work for harmony at
tho congressional convention in Al
bany in 1802, and bis services after
wards in the close fight well know.
He was also one of the vice-presidents
of the Chicago convention in that
year, and ono of tho ablest defenders
of its platform.
Judge B. B. Bower, of Bain bridge,
also announces his candidacy, and
his resignation as judge of tho Albany
circuit will most probably follow. In
this event, lion. W. N. Spence, of
Camilla, will probably be appointed
judge, and Col. VV. E. Wooten, of
Albany, solicitor, Judge Bower is
well and favorably known in tho dis
trict, and will command tho support
of numerous frienIs.
In tins campaign the silver and
goldbug bugaboos nhoutd ho kept
out. Those men are ail true and
tried democrats—have proved their
allegiance on many a bard-fought
field, stand squarely on tho demo
cratic platform, and should be allowed
to go before tho people on their
merits. Lot tho people of the dis
trict select the brainicBt man, and in
hi* bands place tho standard of dem
ocracy, resting assured that it will bo
worthily borne.
Machinist J. E. Knight Serious-
ly Hurt hy a Bursting Wheel.
About three o’clock Wednesday
afternoon, from some unknown cause,
the large drive wheel at Capt Tift’s
sawmill burst into fragments, seri
ously wounding Mr. J. E. Knight,
who was. standing within a few feet
of it.
The machinery had been stopped
only a few minutes previously to ad
just some of its bearings, and was.
rnnning very slow when the accident
occurred, to which fact, probably, all
those in the immediate vicinity owe
their lives.
Mr. Knight was standing close to
the wheel, adjnsting a belt, and was
thrown with his head and shoulders
in the deep cemented groove or trongb
in which the wheel revolves. How
he escaped instant death is almost a
miracle, as a piece of the wheel
weighing near two hnndred pounds
was buried in the earth within a few
inches of bis head.
Mr. B. T. Cole was standing near
him, and with the assistance of Saw.
yer Hall and Inspector Sheppard, he
was quickly rescued from bis danger
ous position and carried to his home,
only a short distance away. His
head and face were badly bruised,
and there were several other bruises
on bis body, but the most serious in-
is between the knee and ankle
s right leg, which is broken in
T
two places and badly crushed, and
three toes were also mashed off. It
is feared thut amputation will be
necessary. Dr. Bacon, of Albany,
was telegraphed for, and arrived
about half past ten that evening.
No one else was hurt, but it will
be several days before the mill will
be ready for operation again
The entire community deeply sym-
[night in hi
pathizes with Mr. Knight in his ac
cident. No mao in the place is more
universally esteemed.

TIki Albany llornld notes the fnet
that four saloons in that city will go
out of business tho first of tlio year
for lack of patronage. This, with
similar reports from several towns of
like size, mid tho statement of leading
saloonists in tbo state that business is
getting worse every year, carries its
lesson. What laws and legislation
has faded to accomplish is being done
by a moral public Hontiment. All
the towns mentioned are surrounded
by prohibition counties, and, taking a
cursory view, saloons should be min.
iaturc gold mines, but the fact is pat-
ont that they are not, and tlmt tho
business, despite all favorable exterior
circumstances, is steadily decreasing.
Ttnim’a New Unilroml.
Wavcuoss, Ga., Jan. 10.—A cur-
load of negroes passed through Way-
cross last night for Tifton. They

of the Tilton and Northeastern rail
road. The road is now within ten
miles of Fitzgerald, and the extension
has been graded to a point four miles
tins sido of the colony. The line
will be completed to Fitzgerald by
Maroli.
