INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE.
General Pliil Cook is in this
city. Yesterday a Constitution re
porter met liim and asked him how
tilings were going to be in the third
district. lie replied witli empha
sis:
“Judge Crisp will lie elected be
yond a doubt. He lias been fairly
nominated and will receive the
earnest support of the democrats,
and neitiier independent nor regu
lar republican nor ground bog re
publican cun beat him.”
"Are you going to be ail inde
pendent candidate against Judge
Crisp?” innocently asked the re
porter.
The general almost glared upon
our reporter and then said.-
“Don’t you pul any euoh ques-
lion as (bat into an interview witli
me. What in the world makes you
ask me such a question? Where
did you got any such an idea? The
democratic party has elected me

Mr. Editor. Having a few leis
ure moments this evening I will
give you a few dots from the vilie.
I reached home about ten days
ago. I am happy to say I found
crops much better than I expected.
It's not worth while to say any
thing about the corn crop, for it
was never better. The cotton crop,
with exception of a few rusty spots,
is the best wc have had in this
section for six years. Farmc rs arc
about through pulling (odder. Cot
ton picking next in order. Some
few have already commenced. We
are needing rain just at this time
Had none in nearly two weeks. A
good shower would be a great help
to cotton, turnips, potatoes, etc.
We country people are having a
hard time r.ow trying to live. Wo
have plenty of bread, but nothing
i i the way of grease. You know
the spring crop of chickens was a
failure, and wc can’t afford to buy
meat at the present prices. We
have about finished the fruit crop,
and that leaves us with only a few
speckled peas and fresli water. They
arc taken as follows; Peas for
breakfast, water for dinner nnd
supper.
The pea crop is very tine and

Df Hiring to increase the circulation of the Recorder and at the same time

Macon Telegraph.
The Macon Telegraph and a lew
other papers in this State either
are not aware that a convention has
been held by tbe Democrats of this
State and a lioket fairly put in
nomination, or else they are seek
ing to so divide tho Democratic
, party as lo give the State over in
to tho hands of tho Republicans.
All this talk about deposing Mr.
Stephens and calling a new con
vention is the merest nonsense.
Even il'a new convention was held,
have theso grumblers any assur
ance that they would got the man
of tholr choice, nnd would thoy
not be ns sore then as they are
now?

i Ills election sure."
I “Will the republicans nominate?”
“The republican convention will
lie lieid on the 2d of September,
but 1 do not know what will bn
done. Colonel Brown is out, and
it is said that lie desires the nomi
nation. He bus been in the
several times—onco agninst me ns
a straight-out democrat and next
as n republican.”
“Will tho independents do any
thing?”
“That depends upon the action
of tho republican convention. It
is reported that Judge Harrell will
run if. there is no nomination by
the republicans, but lie lias never
said anything of tbe kind to me.”
“How about Stephens?”
“Stephens will get the grent body
ol tho party. There are some very
clever gentlemen who will not sup
port him, but they will not.support
iiis adversary, General flartrell.”—
Atlanta Constitution.
Tile New York Sun in referring
to tho south says: “In the days
when cotton was king, many peo-
pla saw the mistake of tho south in
making cotton so autocratic that
corn was despised. Things have
greatly changed since those times,
ns is shown by the announcement
that the south this year is raising
more corn than its own wants re
quire, and has also already export
ed a large amount of wheat ity way
of Baltimore, it is obvious that
only a very limited uso lias hereto
fore been made of tho vast agricul
tural resources of the south, and
that her fertile soil will one day
yield crops far greater in variety,
as well as ir, valuo, than was ever
even dreamed of.”
The New York Commercial Bui•
letin thinks that tho Long Branch
Tariff Commission is having at
least ono desirable effect, and that
is, the exposure of some ol the
multitudinous incongruities and in-
uonaistencies of the existing tariff.
All About Base Ball. *
There is so much excitement
about base hall in the city at pres
ent Hint wc give the following nd-
viec from a wellknowii humorist:
“No, my son, the hail is not hard.
It is so much softer and lighter
than a cannon hall that plnyeis
have boon known to lie down and
die after being struck with it. No,
his leg was not run over by an ex
cursion train—it was only stepped
on by a player wearing spikes in
his shoes. Tho doctors think t.icy
can be alilo to save at least two
inches of it below the hip. Yes,
it is great fun to play hall. It is
so ranch easier and pleasanter than
working that most of those who
make a business of it become com
plete to hold down a bed in a hos
pital for the rest of their lives, af
ter about four seasons. It is a
highly moral game, for many
cliuroh people attend exhibitions of
It, and even ministers have been
engaged in it. Observe the ex
pression of angelic resignation
ot the face of the pastor when he
catches a “hot liner” in thu stom
ach and sits down for religious
nights come, roasting ground peas
and 'taters. Nothing like being a far
mer. I forgot to tell you the su
gar cane is fine nnd I lie little boys
will soon commence lo grind. I
hear of but little sickness, nnd that
is among Ilia children, mostly,
ace caused from eating too much trash,
I gupss, from wlint they say and
their action.
Rev. Scntcil commenced a pro
tracted meeting at Weston on S'.t-
urday last, will continue meeting
nil the week. Mr. 8. is quite a
young roan, but I think one ot the
best preachers I ever had the pleas
ure of listening to. He is liked by
every body and we hope wc may bo
fortunate enough to get him lor

work. Three joined yesterday.
Have not heard from last night.
He will be assisted by Rev. Wm.

terday in the piney woods, at a
place known ns tile sun down place,
which he will continue for several
days.

taxed at one rate, and when not

that the duly on olive oil should
be lowered, because nine-tenths of
the olive oil consumed here was
simply cotton seed oil. On starch,
there is one rate of duty when
made of corn and another rate
when it is made from rice. So ot

preposterous distinction between
plums and prunes was pointed out.

Many of his friends thought it
would be unjust not to allow him
to continue his service one term
until tlie state was reapportioned
into new congressional districts,
and they urged him to the lust to
make the light, lint lie refused. His
invariable reply was, “I always
