V riFfin 1 Daily Hews. GLUME Gh'iffin, (jcci . Griflln U the livelioet, pluckiest, most pro¬ gressive town in Georgia. This is no hjper- bolioal description, as the record of the last live years will show. During that time it has built and put into most successful operation a $100,000 cotton actory and is now building another with nearly twice the capital. It has pnt up a it'ge iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer fac- ory, an immense ice and bottling works, a sash and blind factory, a broom factory opened np the finest granite quarry in the United State*, and has many other enter¬ prises in .outemplatiou. It has secured another . ailroad ninety miles long, and while ocateu on the greatest system in the South, the Central, has secured connection with its important rival, the East Tennessee, Virginia aud Georgia. It has just secured direct inde¬ pendent connection with Chattanooga and the West, and has the President of a fourth railroad residing here and working to its ultimate completion. With its live white and three colored churches, it is now building a $10,000 new Presbyterian church. It has increased its population by nearly onc-tiftli. It has at- t -acted around its borders fruit growers from n^any every ijtatc in the Union, until 'll is now surrounded on nearly every side by or¬ chards and vineyards. It is the home of the grape an 1 its wine making capacity lias doubled every year. It has successfully inaugurated a system of public schools, with a seven years curriculum, second to none. This is part of the record of a half decade and simply shows the progress of an already admirable city, with the natural advantages of having the finest climate; summer and winter, in the world. Griffin is the county seat of Spalding county, situated in west Middle Georgia, with a healthy, fertile and rilling country, 1150 feet above sea level. By the census of 1890, it will have at a low estimate between 6,000 and 7, tiO people, and they pro all of the right ort—wide-awake, up to the time?, ready to welcome strangers and anxious to secure de¬ sirable settlers, who will not be any less wel¬ come if they bring money to help buildup the town. There Is about only one thing we need badly jnst now, and that is a big hotel. We have several small ones, but their accom¬ modations are entirely too limited for our I luincss, pleasure and health seeking guests. If you sec anybody that wauls a good loca- tionfor a hotel in the South, just mention Griflln.

The Stab iS the only New York newspaper possessing the fullest confidence of the Na¬ tional Administration and the United Dem¬ ocracy of New York, the political battle ground of the Republic. Jeffersonian Democracy, pure and simple, is good enough for the Star. Single hand¬ ed among the metropolitan press, it has stood by the men called by the great Democ¬ racy to redeem the government from twenty-five years of Republican wastefulness and corruption and despotism to the South. For these four years past ithasbeenunswerv ing in its fidelity the administration of Grov¬ er Cleveland. It is for him now—for Cleve¬ land arid Thurman—for four years more of Democratic honesty in onr rational affairs, and of continued national tranquility and prosperity. For people who like that sort of Democracy the Stab is the paper to read. The Stab stands squarely ou the National Democratic platform. It believes that any tribute exacted from the people in excess of the demands of a government economically administered is essentially oppressive and dishonest. The scheme fostered and cham¬ pioned by the Republican part-of making the government a miser, wringing millions an nually from the people and locking them up in vaults to serve no purpose but invite waste fulness and dishonesty, it regards as a mon¬ strous crime against the right of American citizenship. Republican political jugglers may call it ‘'protective taxation;” the Stab’s name for it is robbery. Through and through the Star is a great newspaper. Its tone is l ure and wholesome, its news service unexceptionable. Each issue presents an epitome of what is best worth knowing oftlio world's history of yesterday. Its stories are told in good, quick, pictur- eque Edg'd-h, aud mighty interesting read¬ ing they are. The Sunday Star is as good as the best class magazine, and prints about the same amount of matter. Besides the day’s news it is rich in spesinl descriptive articles, sto ries, snatches of current literature, reviews, art criticism, elc. Burdette’s iuimatiblc hu¬ mor sparkles in its columns; Will Carleton’s delightful letters are of its choice offerings. Many of the best known men and women in literature and art arc represented in its col utnns, The Weekly Star is a large paper giving the cream of the news the w irld over, with special features which make it tire most complete family newspaper published. The farmer, the mechanic, the business man too much occupied to read a daily paper, will get more for Jus dollar invested in The Weekly Star than from any other paper It will be especially alert during the cam paign, and will print the freshest and most reliable political news.

Aa Interview With Governor Alger- The Fall of Babylon as Seen by Distinguished Eyes After one day at the Cincinnati ex position, we proceeded to Findlay, due north of there about two hun¬ dred miles. On the w y up we pass ed through some of the best farming lands in the west, and Tom White was greatly astonished to see fields of high corn so thickly planted as to seem almost impenetrable and bear¬ ing two and three ears on tho stalk. It has been a phenomenal season in hio, and crops ol all kinds are growing and bearing wonderfully. There is greatly less than an average acreage in wheat in this section, owing to the ground being in a bad condition to plant at the proper time; but on an excursion further north to Lake Erie, many very beautiful fields were seen—some cut, some ready to cut and some with the reap ers in the field.• The farmers are therefore happy and the merchants in go?d spirits, al though the season is as dull as in the South. Politics are not as hot as represented in the papers, and the campaign is not fairly opened, al though the Democrats organized a solid club of two hundred members at a country precinct near Findlay the same night we arrived there, a week ago yesterday. In Hancock county the county nominations will not be made until September, and after (hat matters will warm up to suit the most hot blooded. Among the local politicians of Findlay I found plenty ol hopes of Democratic success in the presidential election, with no too sanguine hopes of carry ing Ohio, although with tho splen¬ did fighting qualities of Northern Democrats they would not admit that there was no prospect of the State going Democratic—and it may go that way. But of Indiana no doubt is expressed. How the Republicans look at it may be judged by an interview had with Governor Alger, who was in at tendance at the Exposition on our re turn through Cincinnati, having just come from a conference with Gener al Harrison at Indianapolis. He sub mitted gracefully to an interview,but was not inclined to express himself very freely. “What does General Harrison think of the outlook?” was asked. “He is very well satisfied and quite confident of being elected. There is wonderful enthusiasm for him in Indiana.” “What are the prospects in Micbi gan, Governor?” “I have no doubt the Republicans will carry the State by a good ma jority, but still the Democrats are making a bard fight.” “You have seen, of course the numerous reports about your large contribution to the Republican cam paign fund’” “Yes, the papers have had a good deal to say about me, and I never affirm nor deny their assertions.” At this point Governor Alger re¬ ferred the interviewer to Mr. Hop kins, who is running tho Republican campaign in Michigan, with the re mark that Mr. Hopkins could speak more intelligently in regard to poll tics than himself. “I have just come from Michigan,’ said Mr. Hopkins,“and I think I un derstand the situation there pretty well. The Democrats intend to carry the State if they can. They have nominated for Governor A. R. urf, of Saginaw, a very wealthy man,who was a Republican four years ago. He intends to win if possible AB he is not the kind of a man who would accept the empty honor of a nomination unless he thought he could be elected. The Democratic Greenback fus’on this year does not amount to much* It only in eludes the former Greenbackers who now lold State or Federal offices. One wing of the Federal Greenback ers, headed by Moses W. Field, of Detroit, will support the Republi¬ cans because they are opposed to free trade. Another wing, known as the Union Labor party, promise to nomi natea full State and Electoral ticket at their convention on the loth of this month. Burt and his agents are trying to capture the Union La bar people and the indications arc that they will suceed, I acknowledge that the fight in Michigan will be a hard one, but I see nothing to make me believe that the Democrats can carry the State.” A thing as well worth seeing as the exposition is the “Fall of Baby Ion/’ a grand spectacular display oc cupying several acres of ground and with an auditorium in which several very good sized audiences can be lost. Besides Mr. White and myself, of Georgia, there were several distin guished visitors on Thursday night, among them Governor Alger, of Mich gan, his sons and daughters, and Governor Foraker, of Ohio, with his wife and children. Both Governors were warm in their praise of tho great spectacle and frequently ap plauded portions of the performance with us, seeming particularly pleas cl with the graceful evolutions of tho three hundred ballet dancers. Af ter the performance, and the specta tors had taken leave of the smoking, charred ruins of Babylon, Govs. Al ger and Foraker took luncu with a number of Cincinnati magnates; while Tom and I, not cariDg for so much formality aud exchange of com pliments on a hot evening, took our wiener wurst, switzer cheese and tho usual Cincinnati beverage in the ante chamber of the auditorium and pro ceeded by a green line car back to town. • D. G. TIIE ENGINEER’S VOTE. Brotherhood Men Down On Morton Be¬ cause He Is In Sympathy M illi the “(J” Officials. Winoa, Minn., Aug U .— A relia able locomotive engineer and mem¬ ber of the Brotherhood said in an in terview today: “Do you know that Paul Morton, the General Passenger and ticket Agent of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad, is a nephew of Levi P. Morton, the nomi nee on the Republican ticket for Vice President, and by his aid has obtained his p ration? Levi P. Mor ton has declared himself to be in sym pathy with the road and the policy it has adopted in the recent strike, and cjnsequently has made himself an enemy of the Brotherhood of En¬ gineers. It is only within the past few days that this knowledge has crept out, but I know that there is to be a united effort among the Brotherhood of Engineers to down the Republican ticket. Of course there are members of the organiza tion who will follow party lines, and vote in accordance with their best judgement; but at tire same time there are many who will rolr quish their party fealty and vote a. they choose. 1 think that when it comes down to a vote in November, and in the coming campaign, that the Brotherhood of Engineers will cut quite a conspicuous figure in favor of the Democratic ticket. Action has already been taken by a number of lodges, and it is hard to tell what public announcement may be made in the future. It is settled that Mr. Morton, in pronouncing himself in favor of the “Q” road, has antagon ized the feelings of the railroad men, and can exp.-ct but a small vote for the ticket ot which he is one of the heads.” JUST RECEIVED FINE ASSORTMENT Of Teas of all Ms!

Keith came down in time to put in some good licks for Griffin. Mr. and Mrs. V. L. Hughes were taken in charge by Sheriff Hurst on their ariival, but they were not lock ed up. Seneca Burr, our old townsman, was a wholo committeo of reception in himself the way ho got around. David Bailey, Jr., wouldn't listen to J. D. Husted calling Griffin a ru ral city without rising to object. Griffin, the “Rural City.” will en tertain the society next year just tho same. Rudolf Oetter will be one of three delegates to tho State Agricultural Society, making another scoro for Spalding county. Cjt'.on fi Ids near Albany are white with opon bolls and picking has com rnenced. Mr. Reed, Waycross, says 90| per cent, of his Marianna plum cuttings rooted. This shows what tho wiie grass section can do. L. A. Rumph has on his place near Marsliallvillo 10 acres of egg plants, 10 acres of okra, 1 acre of collards and 1 acre of mustard—all grown for seed. Mr. Anthony, of Macon, showed 07 varieties of grapes, the largest number by any ono exhibitor. We hope ho will do as well or better next year at Griffin and bring along sam pies of wine also. The efficiont assistant Secretary H. N. Starnes, of Marietta, promises to show what North Georgia can do in the way of grape culture next year. Dr. Jones, of Herndon, exhibited specimens of the Bertram grape, or iginated by him, which will certain ly prove an acquisition for table and wine use and vines will be eagerly sought when the Doctor puts them on tho market. Mr. Husted's essay on the uecessi ty of new varieties of fruits was ro ceived with good attention and rais ed quite au interesting discussion on the subject of hybridization. Prof. Newman in a private conver Ration said that underdrawing vine yard land previous to planting will pay as an investment. Our old citizen Jno. Keller was on the grape committee and read a good report, but wo are sure that commit tee will have more onerous duties next year at Griffin. The committee on wine was a sine cure, only one specimen being exLib ited. We trust their labors will not be > dry next year. TWe ladies from Griffin wereatten live and appreciative listeners to the debate?, which cannot be said of the majority of lady delegates. To conclude wo may may well say that with such representative men as Messrs. Hasted, Oetter, Wayman and VanDyke, Spalding county can well be proud of her delegation. W.

A (‘tenant Ocoassion. < )u Friday afternoon, just after the closing hours of business, the cm ployes of tiie New York Stone pre sented Mr. I). W. Shaffer with a pair of exquisite ink stands, a unique paper weight and a beautiful gold pen and holder. Tho occasion be ing the giving up of the position as manager of the New York stcre to engage in busisness for himself. Mr. B. G. Randall was spokesman for the party and did his part well, In conclusion ho said: “In asking your acceptance of this small gift, of course we do not do it for its intrin sic value but rather as a token of re¬ membrance of those you have been associated with for the p ist two years. In your leaving we fr" ’ lie loss of an energetic manag' • tr friend and a kind boss, an.; •> ish for you that success that shoald como to one whose fine business qualities and agreeable manners justly entitled him to receive.” It was a pleasant surprise to Mr. Shaffer and found him somewhat at a loss for something to say. In a few well chosen remarks, however, he thanked his friends and former associates for this evidence of their regard and assured them that memo ry would often call up tho pleasant years of business and friendly rela lions with them. He said good by with the kindest feeling for one arid all from the book keeper to the smallest cash boy. He had tried to make it pleasant for all and now parted with them feeling satisfied they had left nothing undone which could possibly show their willingness to conform to his wishes. He wanted to say to the incoming manager that if he had looked in lorty states be could not have found a more delightful set of associates than the clerks and cash boys of the old New York store. The 'Decision was a very happy one throughout and showed in a very marked way that Mr. Shaffer was most highly csteemt-,1 by thos who served under him during his management. 4 The editor joins with the salea men of the New York store and many otht r friends in wishing Mr. Shaffer unbounded success in his new business.
