Dr. Tip Wat- | kina ia our most prominent candidate for Representative. He ia a rouu of broad aud liberal views, and of a wiuuiug fuco | and manner. His intercouse with hm fellow citizens has ever been pleasant and he iH very popular with the people; yet, there are certain sharpers here who have compromised themselves in former elections und now find themselves bound to men whom they do not wish to sup port. These men hold the balance of power among the various family rings and local cliques und their position present, embarrassing. Col. l’atterson has, nntil lately, been considered the leading man. He is a self-mado mun, possessed of a wonderful shrewdness, and in his several canvasses for local offi ces lias shown himself capable of catching foriuno on the wing. He is keen and will probably make a good race, but cer tain influences will tend to defeat him. James Gay is a roan possessed of all the natural talent that a man wonld need to succeed, but his race will bo handicapped with unfortunate complications. Geo. F. Newton has been spoken of, but his family hate enjoyed a long series of honors nt the hands of the people, and now others wish to come in for a share distribntion.

Dawson, Ga., Soptemher 4.—Cotton is coining in this week at the rato of fifteen to twenty hales per day, oi good quality, . and sells readily at tolorab^satiafactory 1 prices. Besides our local buyer*, Mr. W. ' A. Pringle, jr., ot Charleston, 8. C„ hnrf established his headquarters in our city, ; and will remain through the Reason. And ' we expect several other’ buyers to locate ' here as soon au the season is sufficiently I advanced, j Our enterprising merchants aro receiv ing tho largest stock of fall goods that has ever been brought to this market, and will sell them ou a smaller margin than usual. Messrs. Jns. A. Homely and J. W. Brown havo just returned from New York and othei northern olties, and their goods are arriving daily In large quantities. It appears that they decided to make this their last trip,',and bought a stock sufficient to last them a life tiuie. Onr schools ate in a flourishing condi tion. The Malo and Female College has now one hundred pnpils, ond others are coming in daily. Four now teachers have been added to‘[tlic faculty, among whom is our young friend Mr. Clyde Toole, of Americus. Between fifty and sixty pupils are at tending tho Owen Nelson Institute, un der the management of Professor Qnil« lian and Miss Janlo Wadsworth, and many nioro tire expected. No city in Southwest Georgia lias belter educational facilities than Dawson. Protracted meeting will begin next Sat urday in Dover, and llev. Sam Jones is expected to arrive on Monday and assist in conducting tho meeting. A large crowd from Dawson will attend on Sun day, and probably during next week. It wonld pay the good people of Americus to coma down and hear this remarkable man preach. Miss Laura Ozier returned yesterday from a pleasant visit of several Weeks to Cuthbert ond Spring Vale. Wo are all glad to welcome hor home and to see her in such oxoollent health and spirits. MUs Lonclln Brogan, of‘onr city, is spending a few weeks with relatives and friends in Americus. Your former Dawson correspondent, “W. K. F. ( " left;ourJ city yesterday, hav ing accepted a position on the shift’nf the Eufuulu Doily Times. Wo very muoh j regret tho loss of Prof. Pilsbury from onr town, and will sadly mbs bis ex cellent letters in the Recorder. Wo congratulate tho Times on its acquisition and as tho Profossor’s mother and sisters still reside in Dawson, wo know wo shall set) him on our streets occasionally. His mauy friends in Dawsou wish him un bounded success* in his new field.of use ful labor. Mr. Robert F. Baldwin, or Winchester, Go,, accompanied by his wife, arrived in our city yesterday, and will remain a few days with his brother, Mosos H. Baldwin fir., and his many nephews. Three deaths have oceurotl in onr county since last issue of the Recorder, viz., Mr.. Robinson, about seventy-five years of age; little Ellie Carver, aged 3 years; and little Feeler P«nre«\ aged fifteen month*. The woather is very dry in this section. Crops of all kinds suft'eriug, and cotton is being badly injured by rust. It is now conceded by many that there will not be over half a cotton crops made in this and adjoining counties. Rut we will have to sell it on tho basis of a large crop, all the sumo, and in many instances the plautors tire to blame for this state of things. In the spring many fanners will bring in their finest stalks of,cotton and corn and exhibit them to the* merchants and editors nt the. town often telling them that they are'only average speci mens of a fifty acre field or their whole crop, ns tho cose may be, und obtain a de sired amount of credit from tho mer chant, and have their qualities as fanners extolled in the newipapes. These items are copied iu other newspapers and aro soon spread all over the union, and tho great cotton and money centres of the world publish in their .circulars and lit tle red hack books that the present year’s cotton crop will foot up ou millions bales. Then from‘first to middle of August these same farmers, who have about exhausted their credit, will select, pull up and bring to town the best stalks of cotton to bo found on their farms, containing ever *o many hundred bolls and forms, exhibit it around, get their credit extended and another puffin the pspers,lretnrn homo happy, and the great ''umpires" New York and Liverpool, "score ' another million bales. If these fanners come to town during the months of feepl. ami Oct., we find them wearing very long laces and noth ing else to exhibit. On enquiry, or on presenting ^for payment their notes for guano or supplies, they claim that the drought, rust or caterpillars, or all three of these plagues have ruined them; that they will not make over half a cropland consequently cannot pay more than half their indebtedness etc. This is probably said in a low tone and never reach the editor’s ear or paper. The merchant and farmer ore UR to fight it out. In vain we ory drought, ruit, caterpillar. In vai n we ory short crop, etc. The great um pireshohl us to onr first proposition. They have got it down In print, seven million bales, and they put down! the price accordingly, and keep it ddwn tQl the crop has passed out ot the fanheiaf hands at lass than the cost of When speculators have it ell. they up die price, double their fortunes, induo# the poor farmers to plant soother large crop, and these operations sre repeated year after year. But I um proud to state >e have i wiser and better class of Carmen in thia section, som# of whom I may meition in a future letter. V » ~ "Old Oaf.” MEETING AT FRIENDSHIP.

A miner bad died t»r,. mountain diging, and, as be was much respected, bis acquaintances rcaolred to give him a “square funeral,” instead ot putting his body in tbo usual way into a roughly made bole, and saying, by way of funeral services, "Tbar Poes another bully boy under)” They sought tbo services of a minis ter who boro the reputation of hid ing at one time or bis career, been a powerful preacher in tbe Stales. And then fsr western fashion, they all knelt down while the extem porized pastor delivered a prodi giously long prayor. The miners, tired ol their unaccustomed opiate to while away tbe time, began, dig ger tasbion, fingering the earth that bad been taken from tbe grave. Gradually looks were ex changed, whispering commonoed and increased until it became loud enough to attract the attention of' their parson. He opened bia eyes and stared at tbe whispering min- ars. “What Is H, boys?” Then, as suddenly his eyes lighted on sparkling scales of gold, he shout ed, “Gold, by jingo! and the rich est kind »' diggini Tbe congrega tion is dismissed I” Instantly every man begun to prospect the new digging, tbe parson not being the least active of tbe number. The body had to be bnrled else where; but tbe memory Of tbe Inci dent lived from the name given to tbe locality, for “Dead Man’s Gulch” became one of tbe rioheet gold fields in all California.
