Griffin, Ga.
--i-
Grillin Is the liveliest, pluckiest, most pro¬
gressive town in Georgia. This is no hyper¬
bolical desciii tion, ns the ree.ord 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
la ge iron immense andbra^s foundry, and bottling a fertilizer works, fae¬
tore, ry, an ice a
sash and blind factory, a broom factory
openod up the finest granite quarry in the
Ui.itod State", and has many other enter¬
prises in ontemplatiou. It has secured
another. ailroad ninety miles long, and while
ocateu on Ui« greatest system in the South,
the Central, has secured connection with its
important rival, the East Tennsssee, Virginia
aud Georgia. Ithas just secured direct inde¬
pendent connection with Chattanooga and
the Wi st, and has the President of a fourth
railroad residing here , and working
to its ultimate completion. With
te five white and three oolored
ch arches, it is now building a $10,000 new
Presbyterian ohurob. It has increased its
population by nearly one-fifth. It has at-
tra,. c:u ound its borders fruit growers from
nearly every State in the Union, until it is
now surrounded on nearly every side by or¬
chards and vineyards. It is the home of the
grape and its wine making capacity has
doubled every year. It has successfully
inaugurated a Byetem 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
ot having the finest climate, summer and
winter, in the world.
Griffin is the county seat of Spalding
ecu ity, situated in west Middle Georgia, with
a healthy, fertile and robing country, 1150
feet above sea level. By the census of 1890, it
will have at a low estimate between 6.000 and
7,e(>0 people, and they are all of the right
sort—wide-awake, up to the times, 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 just now, and that is a big hotel.
We have several small ones, but their accom¬
modations are entirely loo limited for our
business, pleasure am! health seeking guests.
If you see anybody that wants a good loca¬
tion for a hotel in the South, just mention

MR. CLEVELAND’S CHECK.
THE PRESIDENT MANIFESTS IN¬
TEREST BY A BIG CONTRIBU¬
TION,
Nearly Two Hundred Thousand Dol¬
lars Subscribed by Prominent
Democrats.
Washington, Aug. 28.—The Presi
dent is taking much interest in the
campaign, all reports to the contrary
notwithstanding. His interest is of
the substantial kind, too. He has
sent to the campaign committee in
New York his check for $10,000.
His Cabinet has also generally oon
tribnted, Secretary Whitney, it is
understood, having given $15,000,
In the neighborhood of $160,000
has been sent over from here by
prominent democrats, most of them
being the incumbents of important
positions under the government. So
far but little has been heard from
those holding minor positions under
the government. It is true that
they have not been asked to give
anything. It has not even been
hinted to them thaf a contribution
would be accepted. Iu this respect
the management of the campaign by
the party in power presents a atrik
ing contrast to its management when
the republicans held sway. Then
the life of the department clerk was
made a burden by the many calls
him to bolp along the republi
party by chipping in Borne of the
of war. And be had to do it
go. Derpite the fact that no
have this year been asked to
help along the party financially, it is
thought that they ought to do some
thing voluntarily. A few of them
have. Of coarse none ef the many
who still hold on to
their places under the government
will contribute, but if the democrats
who have been lucky enough to get
would send something to com
mittee headquarters, they would be
doing but right. The president’s
contribution has stiffened up things
considerably among the democrats.
That and his message on retaliation
has not only put all democrats in a
good hnmor, bat has made them
very enthusiastic. The most carping
of them are ready to throw up their
hats and hurrah.
THE PRESIDENT’S OUTING.
The many resorts that have been
expecting or rather advertising, that
Mrs Cleveland would spend some
time in the summer within their con
fines, are doomed to disappointment.
Mrs. Cleveland and mother, Mrs. Fol
som, have decided to remain here at
their pretty country home, Oakview,
uutil’the President can get away,
Tlie President does not expect to
leave Washington until Congress ad
journs, and until he can manage to
catch up with the busiaess before
him, so that he caD take a two or
three days’ onting now iu! then. It
will be so late before Congress ad
journs that the President has given
up all idea of spendiog any time this
session in the Adirondacks, as has
been his custom for many years. He
regrots this very much, as he loves
the Northern woods and the splen
did fishing to be had there.
The many remarkable cures Hood’s 8ar3

PIKE COUNTY POLITICS.
The Antis Talk of Starting a Paper at
Zebnloni
Flat Shoals, Ga., Aug. 28.— We
have bad fine rains and new candi
dates have sprung up and the people
of West Pike say,give them Gardner
and Madden in their’s, that they do
not understand the idea for making
another nomination and making it
on the same platform as Gardner and
Madden were nominated on. We
have talked to several of our neigh
bors and they all say they like Capt.
Mitchell, but cannot yote for him
under the the circumstances on which
he came out. And Mr. Means, he be
longs to the Returning Board and he
cannot get any votes from this part
of the county. I voted a pro ticket
before, but I am going to vote for
Madden and Gardner thiis time from
the fact that the platform is the samo
and Mitchell and Means are put out
for prejudice against Gardner and
Madden.
In regai d to the Orthodox Demo
crat refusing to support our candi
dates, why, we have commenced to
take steps to start a paper in Zebulou
and will do it at once, if we do not
make arrangements with some good
paper. We can start with a good
number of subscribers. You see this
election business does not stop at
Representative alone; it is County
offioers and all, and we will not bo
run over, so will ba represented in a
newspaper either in the county Or out
of it, and whatever paper represents
us will get the the support of a major
ity of Pike county’s voters.

It is not worth while to contra
diet the fact that the tariff is the
main, in fact almost the only issue
in this presidential campaign. The
democratic party; by the message of
its president, by the official declara
tions of its delegates in national con
vention, and by the action of its rep
resentation in the lower house of
congress, is most solemnly and earn
e-tly pledged to tariff reform.
Just as solemnly, if not so earnest
ly, the republican party, by its na
tional platform, and the votes of its
congressmen, is bound to oppose tar
iff reform, or even tariff redaction,
and to advocate, if necessary, the en
tire repeal oft the internal revenue
system.
As prominent a high tariff repub
liean as there is in congress, is Wm
McKinley, jr., who spoke Wednesday
in support of the present tariff at
Chautauqua, iaking the radical re
publican side of tne argument, with
the intent and for the purpose of
gaining recruits for the republican
party.
We printed as a matter of news,
as much of Maj. McKinley’s speech
as our space would permit, but were
careful to accompany it with an edi
torial, which was intended to be, and
we are very much inclined to think is
an andtidote for the poison. Other
democratic papers in this state pnr
sued the same coarse, which was
the only proper one for earnest sap
porters of Cleveland and Tbnrman.
A notorious exception was the At
lanta Constitution. It printed the
speech in full, accompanying the

with the most extruva

whether a protectionist or an

firm conviction that he had
