\ Americus Recorder. m. SUMIIB, Editor. OBeUI Organ of \U FRIDAY. Al til BT T *. HE0R01A SEWS. New Orleans is happy over her new well, sunk by Or. Kells, the There is considerable oompUinl cln | nP „ t ,| en iist and scientist. of rust in cotton in Randolph conn If- •SENATORIAL. In another column we publish the proceedings of the Senatorial convention. The Kkcobueu is dis appointed in the result of that con vention. - It had hoped to see har mony anil good feeling—it had hoped to see Sumter strike hands with Schley and do that connty full Justice—It had hoped that per sonal prejudices and ambition would he subordinated to the love .or the Democratic party and the advancement of public interests— It had bop d that tta Interest* fcf Americus would prove paramount to the personal interests of indi- vidnals—It bad hoped that the har mony ol action Inaugurated at Chicago, and followed by our own state and congressional conven tions, would lie rounded nut in this last convention where the dlfTerenl interests of conntles were involved. In all these hopes it has been ills* appointed. It secs sown the seeds ol discord and disruption to the party in this district, and jeulonsy and ill-feeling among people whore commercial and sorial interests should bo one. Wbllo the lttxnnnr.it is not sut- isfletl with the result ol the con vention, and wishes it could have been otbaiwise, it osnnot afford to follow the rale or ruin policy of those who seek their own personal aggrandizement at the expense of I tarty and public interests—it can not afford to encourngo Imlepend- enttsm by furnishing it with reas onable excuses for existence—it cannotafford to endanger p arty suc cess to gratify its personal desire ftr revenge against those who dif fer with it within the party— It leaves these things for scheming politicians who care only that they shall secure and hold the ofllces they seek without regard to tho rights and interests of others—and therefore it will support the nomi nee of the party, at thu same lime wishing that he could have been the unanimous choice of Schley and of the wholo district. If the result of the convention shall lie discord and disruption, it will have been no lault of the Hr- ronuKit, for it sounded the note of warning and attempted to avert inch a result, being actuated only hy a desire to preserve party liar, inony and advance the interests of Americus.

The quaint old town of St. Au gustine, Florida, proposes early in September to appropriately cele. hrate tho throe hundred and nine teenth anniversary of its founda tion. Many of the houses Qrst erected there are still standing, and many of the ancient landmarks yet remain. The old Spanish fort it quite a famous plane of resort. St. Augustine is the oldest town in the United States, and is sugges tive in Its uniqueness and old-time surroundings. From there I leSoto and I’once de Leon started on their wonderful exploring cx|>edition. The story it out that the notori ous Hill Kemble nf '‘addition, di vision and alienee 1 ' fame, killed off Blatne in lMfC, by presenting to the I'ennsylvania delegation two cancelled checks for *7,500, alleged by Kerahie to have Ihn-h given Blaine for a purchased ruling as Speaker upon a matter in which Kemble was interested.
