We would suggest that candi
dates for nomination for representa
tives from this county come for
ward and announce their views

views of those who aspire to repre
sent them in the next legislature.

The Amalgamated Association
of employes and the iron manufac
turers, at a conference held in
Pittsburg on Saturday, were un
able to agree. The association
wanted to retain the present rates
for some descriptions of work and
to secure a small advance for oth
ers, but the manufacturers insisted
on a uniform reduction of ten per
cent. The present high tarilfon
iron protects the manufacturers
from foreign competition, but af
fords no protection to the labor
engaged iu the business. On the
contrary, the high tariil rates on
other commodities makes the labor
er pay higher for articles of family
consumption.

In speaking of the probabilities
of railroad building, the Baltimore
Manufacturers' Record says that
whether railroad building bas been
overdone in other parts of the coun
try or not, It certainly has not in
the South, and there ts yet room
in that section for a great iacreasc
in railroads. Many parts of tho
South, enormously rich in mineral
and timber wealth, are now so de
void of transportation facilities as
to make it impossible for them to
be developed, but with the present
rush of capital to the South there
will soon come greater activity in
railroad building, and new lire will
be Infused into regions that are
now cut off from sharing the gen-
eral advance ot the material inter
ests ef the Seuth.
The latter inserted a probe in the
wound, and the patient, who was
standing on the front porch of the
Doctor's residence, fainted and fell.
He struck his head against the side
of the house ns lie fell, and it was
fully an hour iicfore ho was revived.
He walked up town to sec the doe-
tor again Mouday morning. The
ball is still in his bead, and the doc
tor says he doesn't think he will
undertake to cut it out, us he has
not been able to locate it.”
Augusta Chronicle and Constitu
tionalist.* “Tho cotton mill men
of Augusta and of the State seem
to have settled the question of allog
ed over-production in a novel way,
and instacd of reducing figures to
work oil what was believed to be
an overplus, they have marked up
prices of goods from a quarter to
a ball cent per yard. The fact is,
that although most of tho mills
have goods on hand, they feel that
they can hotter aflord to hold them
—selling them oil from timo to ]
time ns consumers order them, at
a paying price—than work them
off at figures below tbe cost of pro
duction. Tho tact is, that at tho
present piice of cotton, manufact
ured goods were lar too low, and
what goods are needed will be
taken os readily at tbe advanced
price as-at the recent low figures,
until tbe reaction of tbe trade,
when it Is believed matters will Im
prove all round.”
