Political Gossip.
There is considerable activity in
political circles in Georgia, and es
pecially about Atlanta. Candidates
themselves, newspaper correspon
dents and the impecunious follow
ers who pick up thiffcrumbs let fall
fro nit he table of this or that man
or clique, think and talk of but
little else. This gossip does not
signify much, and yet it is not
without interest; and hence we
reproduce some of it here from the
well-informed crrespondent of the
Savannah Times. In a late letter
from Atlanta he says:
Politics, both State and national,
seem to he warming lip in this sec
tion. It is now stated that cx-Con-
gressman W. E. Smith, better
known as “Tote” Smith, of Albany,
Judge Tomas G. Simmons of
Macon, and Louis F. Garrard of Col
umbus, wiil be in the race for Gover
nor. As a matter of course, Gov.
McDaniel will stand for re-elec
tion. If all of these are in the race
a lively contest will be the outcome.
Bacon, I hardly think, will try it
again, as I learn that recently he
has been employed as counsel in
some very important suits that
will command his undivided atten
tion and payjhim far better than the
Governorship. I Lis name, how
ever, has been mentioned very fa
vorably in this connection by many
of the newspapers of the State,
and it is a well known fact that his
numerous friends all over Georgia
are as determined as ever to put
him in the executive chair as soon
as an opportunity affords it.
With regard to the Congress
ional districts, the correspondent
gathers the followings rumors,
without vouching- for their entire
accuracy:
It is said that in the first Con
gressional district, the Hon. A. P.
Adams will make the race for Con
gress at the next election. In the
second, the Hon. C. B, Wooten is
spoken of as the man who will try
to capture Congressman Turner’s
seat. Judge Crisp, of the third,
now in Congress, will, it is said,
find an opponent for Ids seat in the
person of Judge A. C, Pate. The
fourth has always been abundantly
supplied with Congressional tim
ber, and Buchanan will no doubt
find plenty of opposition when the
time comes. It is suggested that
Hon. W. A. Little, of Columbus, or
P. F. Smith, of Newnan, may enter
the race.
Coming down to the fifth, it is
predicted on all sides that an inter-
resting fight will thke place for
Hammond’s seat. Colonel Ham
mond is now here, attending to
some law business and looking
over the field withe an anxious eye.
He i much exercised over Captain
Jackson’s candidacy. * * * A close
observer tells, me that he thinks
Jackson will get the delegates from
tin’s county, hut even then the chan
ces are that lie will be beaten by
some man from the lower part of
the district, as there is [a 'strong
feeling among the masses of the
district that Fulton has had the
member long enough.
To-day it is authoritatively
announced that Boynton is no long
er in the race for Congress in the
fifth. This announcement was re
ceived with much surprise, inas
much as it was pretty generally
believed that the complexion of
the district was favorable to him.—
Along with this announcment
comes the statement that Judge
John D. Stewart, of Spalding, will
enter the contest. The impression
prevails here that if Judge Stewart
makes the race, he will poll the
strength of Boynton, carrying the
same counties and capturing the
nomination. If Livingston runs, it
is generally conceded that he will
capture the votes of Newton and
Rockdale counties, and will go into
the convention with four votes.—
If Hammond is beaten and Jackson
nominated, it is more than proba
ble that some Independent will
tackle him, in which event the con
test will be a lively one from be-
gining to end.
Blount of the sixth, it is said, is
losing a good deal of sleep, caused
by Hardeman’s prospective candi
dacy. He feels that if Hardeman
is in the race he will not have the
walk over that he has had for some
years past.
Mo far, Clements does not seem to
have any fixed opposition in the
seventh. Before the ball opens,
however, he may have his hands
full, as there are a dozen men in
that district who want t(>3 go to
Congress, and want to go there
bad.
The Eighth, now represedted by
Hon. Seaborn Reese, lias not de
veloped any candidates so far,
and persons from that district
| who take an interest in politics tell
Subscirbe for the Free Press. me that Reese will have no oppo
sition. He is a remarkably pop-
! ular man, always making friends
I and rarely manufacturing ene-
! mies.
In the ninth I don’t know wheth
er Candler will havevany opposi-
| tion or not, but the chances are
that lie will, as he lias not develop-
; ed as much as his friends hoped
that lie would. The redistricting
of the Ninth lias thrown into that
district new Congressional timber,
and this fact may complicate mat
ters to some extent.
| The Tenth, which is the. new dis
trict, seems to have settled on
| Hon. George T. Barnes as the conn
! ing man. That district has plenty
of Congressional timber, every

Signing Petitions.
It is a frequent saying that you
can get a man to sign a petition for
anything. In Cincinnati a year or
two ago one prominent merchant
bet another $100 that he could get
one hundred first-class signatures
among the members of the Cham
ber of Commerce asking for the
immediate execution of the mayor
of the city for gross malfeasance in
office. The man who proposed the
bet at once drew up a petition re
citing imaginary wrongs on the
part of the mayor and asking the
Legislature (which had no authori
ty over him) to hang him for them.
Going from one business friend to
another, he said: “Here’s a little
petition I want you to sign. It’s
all right. Just a needed change in
the city goyornipent. Flurry up;
give me your name.” Before the
close of the business day lie was
able to tack that ridiculous peti
tion oil the wall with one hundred
signatures hanging to it. That isn’t
done every day, hut something like
it is.

Rowland Hill was preaching once
upon a time, on the subject of debt,
when a nnih in the audience, in a
low tone wondered if lie—
the preacher—was punctual
always in paying his
debts. The minister heard him, and
stopped in the midst of a sentence,
and looked him in the face.
“My vejy good friend,” he said,
“I think I never paid a debt in my
life,—saving only the debt men
tioned hy Saint Paul, in my text—
‘Owe no man anything, hut to love
one another.’ As for any other
debt hut that of love, I never in my
life bought a tiling for which I
could not, and did not, pay on the
spot.”
“Wliat did that lady say?” asked
Mr. Buyem of his confidential
clerk. “I’d rather not repeat her
words, sir,” replied the clerk. “But
1 must know, Mr. Plume—must
know, sir.” “Oh! if you insist upon
it, sir, I suppose I must tell you.
She said you were all business, but
you lacked culture.” “So!” ex
claimed Air. Buyem in astonish
ment. “Lack culture, eh? Look
here, Air. Plume; d’ye know you’d
oughter told me o’ that long ago ?

and F. F. Dupree. Neither of them
are mechanics* both of them being-
plain farmers. The building of the
boat came about ill this manner:—
They were running a steam gin
and after the ginning season be
came dull and their engine was
standing idle they determined to
see if they could make it bring their
guano from market. They procured
a common flat-boat and mounted
their engine, a small six horse pow
er farm engine, on it. Then, with
remarkable Ingenuity, they con
structed a stern wheel with pad
dles. Then, calling into service the
shafting and belting used in run
ning their gin', they connected the
engine. with the paddles. Then
they made a rudder. They were
then reedy for the first trial. Tak
ing on hoard with them an expe
rienced mechanic, they made the
trial. Everything worked splen
didly. Then, on Tuesday morning
they made the first trip for freight.
In two hours and a half they were
at the Georgia Pacific bridge. Here
they stopped and took on six tons
of guano previously shipped there
for them. On their return their
wood gave opt and they were for
ced to float back down to Adaholt’s
ferry. However, they made the
trip in much quicker time and as
safely with less inconvenience than
could have been done with wagons,
besides hauling at one load of the
boat as much as ten wagons could
have carried over the country roads.
They could have made a much bet
ter time had the shape of the boat
allowed it. rt being only a flat-boat,
in going swiftly up stream the wa
ter would run over the head block
of the boat, and on that account
they were forced to move slowly.
The river is very rough in places
between the ferry and the bridge-
in fact, much rougher than for six
ty miles below the ferry. It is
said that the boat could get down
to Franklin, and there could con
nect with the boats that ply regular
ly between West Point and that
place. Thus the river could be
made navigable from Tcevillcr to
West Point a distance of about one
hundred miles. It is very certain
that in the spring when the water
is high they could reach Franklin.
If the river could lie made nav-
igable for these small steamers, a
very rich section of country that
is now shut out from Atlanta
would he opened to her trade and
her merchants would reap large
benefits from it. This boat makes
another trip to-morrow and will

river. A prominent merchant said
yesterday that he had orders for a
hundred tones of guano from the
farmers along tlic river, all to be
delivered hy the boat. Messrs.

machinery to their boat, and will
make regular trips between the
Georgia Pacific bridge and Ada

A young lady in Ulster county
called at a lawyer’s office in King
ston last week and asked to have
suit begun against a former lover
for breach of promise.
“He promised to marry me four
times,” she said, “but he hasn’t kept
Ids word, and my affections are all
blighted.”
How much damage do you wish
to claim ?” said the polite lawyer.
“Well, I was blighted four times,
and I think $100 a blight is none too
much.”
So suit was entered at $400 dam

A, T, Copejand, living on the
farm of G. W. Heard, near Flat
Shoals, cut down a red oak tree
last week that was about eleven
feet in circumference. The tree had
been dead and rotten for a long
time, and the axe would hardly
make the chips fly. In the stump
just at the place of severance, half
way between the heart and the
outer edge of the tree, he found a
small, round bottle, with the origi
nal cork stopper in it, and yet the
bottle filled partly with punk,
which was evidently part of the
growth of the tree, and partly with
some solidified liquid. Sticking in
the punk in the bottle was a large
old-fashioned pin, the head of
which was made separate from the 1
body and attached afterwards, as
was the fashion when pins were •
first made. Fifty circles of growth
had encompassed around the bottle ! Every effort to invent a cotton
