rlFFin 1 Daily News. 'Oi.UME 17 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.

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 parillo accomplishes are sufficient proo that it does possess peculiar curative pow (4) ers. The Road Healhward Made Easier.

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.

I suppose there were 3.000 out Sunday from what I could learn. Every thing passed off quietly. T. W. Aiding the Enemy. .Columbus Knquircr-Sun. 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 VA. RIVER FISH. Fine lot Va River Fish to-day. Just received shipment fine Tcnn. Mountian Butter. Fresh shipment of New Cabbage and Irish Potato S moked Sausage. gMF~ Lemons still SO c. dozen. with the most extruva praise. The climax was reach when the reporter said: “Bat thing is certain—every man whether a protectionist or an of a revenue tariff, left with firm conviction that he had the grandest argument for ever made.” Having given this republican pro and his high tariff appeal a firstclass send off in its loca] what did the Constitution editorially against the republi platform and exponent and in of tbo democratic doctrine? a word. There was not one.sol expression in that part of a to which the people look its opinions on public affairs, for against the political speech of republican to which it devoted seven columns of its news It let that speech go with as approval as a local reporter give it, to its democratic con without one line of protest the extreme republican doc which Maj. McKinley advocat This unusual and inexplicable on the part of a newspaper, to favor democratic prin and democratic candidates, hurts democrats and helps republi mere than any ten outspoken newspapers could do in state. The Atlanta Constitution is no a representative of the demo of Georgia than it is of the re of Pennsylvaaia. It is nearer Pig Iron Kelley and McKinley than Speaker Car and Chairman Mills. Akins Items, Akins District, Aug., 28,—We are fine weather at this time. Crops are generally good. Fodder palling is about over, and cotton and peas being the of the day on the farms, every will be in a pash for the next days at least, as our crops are good, the farmers nearly feel happy with the hope of get ting out of debt.
