The Dougherty Democracy re.
fused to endorse Bro. Hanlon’s
position on the Railroad Commis
sion question.

After a bitter fifbl between Ham
mdnd and Jackson, In the Atlanta
congieasional district, the former
was nominated by a small majority
•t the primaries. .1 '
' Some one baa counted the words.
Id Lincoln’s Brat; letter of accept
ance and Bnds only 100. His sec
Ond letter, In 1864, contained less
njmnSOO words. Such documents
have grown enormously since then,
although there Is really less toeay.
One of the bills which Gov. Cleve
land did not veto was for the pun-
iebment of the too Impetuous bag
gage-smasher. It provides for a
fine of $S0 for eaoh smash perpe
trated by a baggage man on a
piece of plunder entrusted to his
charge, and every State in the
Union ought to have just such
law upon its statutes.
Five tickets to choose from al
ready: Cleveland, and Hendrioks,
democrat; Blaine and Logan, re.
publican; St. John and Daniel, pro
hibition; Pomeroy and Conant,
-autl-Mnonlu, and Butler and
West, greenback and anti monopo
ly, The “labor” party' has still to
name fts'men, and it is expeoted
that it will take the Butler ticket.
A Philadelphia Press corres
pondent has gone down into North
Carolina and has been writing
about the negro. He sums up as
follows: “All the civil rights bills
on earth will not affect the status
the negro here for years to come.
He has ceased to look to legislation
fbr advancement; and is beginning
to lebratbat bis position and power
depend on his wealth and intelli.

THETiilrr IS ILLINOIS.
The stand taken by the Demo
cratic Tarty on the tariff question
seems likely to oarry Illinois for
the. Democracy. The Democrats
are aoting on the aggressive, while
the Republicans seem to be afraid
to handle the question. Mr.
Worthington, the Democratic mem
ber of congress from the Peoria
district, has challenged the Repub
lican congressional nominee to a
discussion ot the tariff question
but the challenged party has
yet failed to respond. Mr. Worth
ington was elected two years ago
on the tariff qUeston.
THE HEKATORNHIpT
W« believe it has been the cus.
tom in this senatorial district to
give the nomination for slato sena
tor to the different counties in ro
tatlon. Under ’ this rule Schley
county would this year be entitled
to name the candidate. We under
stand they have already selcoted
Hon. W. D. Murray as their candi
date. In this connection we are
also informed that^an^effort will be
made in the Sumter County Con-
- ventlon to morrow to select a dele
gation inimical to Mr. ^Murray,
with the intention of defeating him
. in the senatorial conventiou and
arlvlng the nomination to some
other county. We cannot vouoh
for this information and are loath
to give it crcdoucc, for it is cer
tainly not to the interest of Ameri
cas and Sumter county to deprive
Schley county or her political
right. In the first place it would be
unfair, aud in the second placo it
would not be good polioy. There
Iisb already - been somo feeling
against Americus in Schley grown
out of railroad matters, and any
action taken by the Sumter delega
tion to deprive the people of
Schley out ot what they at least
conoelve to be their political right
would aggravate that feeling to
auoh an extent that Americus
would undoubtodly.lose considera
ble trade from that section. It is
said that “all la fair in love, war
aud politics,” but our experience is
that in the long run honesty is the
best poiioy in politics as well as
business. Americas cannot afford
to be unfair in her political deal-
inn with her neighbors, and.for
this reason we hope the rumor we
have alluded to it unfounded.
A Macon broker will advertise
in a few days for bills of sales for
lug- for them, dollar

some our people who owned slaves
have preserved the bills of sale.
It is not known for wbat purpose
the broker wants these ddciimehts.
Oolonel Primus Jones, of Baker,
the first bale man has about three
hundred acres planted in cotton
this year, one hundred and twenty,
live acres of which is lapped across
four-foot rows. He has cotton bp-,
en, and the first bald is Hourly look
ed for. On one stalk are forty
grown bolls, which gives some idea
how his cotton is fruited. >'■'<
Frank Hogan has fust completed
a well on his place in the north
eastern portion of Quitman county
182 feet deep. When he had dug
to a depth of about 100 feet be be
gan to despair of ever reaching
water, and bad made a small auger
with which be sounded the earth
and struck st the depth named.
This is probably the deepest Well
in this section of the country.
The catterpillar is committing
havoc among tho cotton in Stewart
county. It is not, however, the
catterpillar of the cotton fly, aletia
argilllcea, bat a ravenous brown
eutworm, which has destroyed ful
ly half the cotton in many places,
and where the cot ton has grown too
large to be ent down by Its sharp
teeth, it barks the stalk around and
ollmbs up the. stalk and eats the
buds away.
John C. Kads, city treasurer or
Rome, who had (7,000 of the city
money deposited iu Hargrove’s
bank, Saturday sold his stock of
goods and applied the proceeds to
the payment of the amount due to
tho city. This, with the collateral
turned over by the bank, will liqui
date tbo amount due the oity. Mr.
Eads has sacrificed all be has in the
world to save his bondsmen, and
has done so promptly and without
litigatii-n.
At Cuthbert Harry Hull, color
ed. a noted well digger, while clean
ing out Mr. Phlletus Jackson's
woll, about twelve milos in tbc
country, lost his life by some old
ourbing and dirt caving in upon
him while lie was in the bottom of
tbo well, which is 60 feel deep.
The ourbing and dirt fell 30 feet,
covoring up the mun to a depth of
6 feet. Frionds dug Harry out,
and found that he was killed by
tbe falling plank. A coldred man
was covered up in a well near
Cuthbert twelvo year ago, and ac
tually lived in the bottom of tbe
well a week or mote before he
could be resouod, although several
feet of dirt and debris had bllen
in upon him. Thousands of peo

week only to be horrified at tbe

from actual experience that his
statement is corroot. Next week
we wilt publish his statistics upon
this important subject. Accord-
ing to bis account, tbe formers are
