The executive committee met
yesterday, and decided to hold a
primary election on Nov. 21st, for
county offices.
This is a good move, and one
which satisfies all. It haa been
several years since the Democrats
chose the men for these places, and
the result haa been in many cases,
a big scramble for these offices.
Announcements have been made
this year for the various offices,
and in almost every usse, there is
opposition. To prevent another
scramble, the committee decided
to bold a primary, and set the date
above mentioned.
This is a good move, one which
satisfies all, and everybody praises
the action taken.
The committee also discussed the
matter of getting the Democrats
out to vote next Tuesday, and each
member pledged himself to do his
best to have a full vote polled.

Following are the resolution! In

Amkricus, Oct. 81,1800.

cUlien and member elect of the

SENATORIAL TALK.
PATCALHOUN MAY BE BEFORE THE

Th* C*ndid*t** Di»ou***d-Gordon 1
Cbsnce*-WM Calhoun B* sCandidat*
For Senator?
flpads' Vi RacoansiL
Atlanta, Oot. 81.—Next Wed
nesday tb* legislature meets! This
foot la kept In view by the political
talk about town, the candidates
Impressing It the more forcibly as
the time draws nearer.
The Senatorablp la nearly the ab
sorbing topic. It Is talked every
where. The conspicuous part as
signed Pat Calhoun In the Alliance
day programs has almost settled tbe
conviction that his friends are at
work to make him senator. It haa
looked that way for some time, but
the past day or two has added the
impression that a number of the
most prominent Alllanoe leaden
are in sympathy with the move
ment-
Of oourse the talk about Pat Cal
houn or the Terminal "owning” or
buying” the bell-weathers Is cam
paign talk; but this new-born Inti
macy of the big political monopoly
—the Alliance—ie calculated to cre
ate some natural suspicion.
There is no discounting tbe fact
that Pat Calhoun ia one of the
brainiest young men In the South,
and that he is personally an hon
orable and public spirited man.
But while that is true, very few
poople—except those with political
Interests concerned—would like to
sec him In the United States Senate,
The situation recalls the old story
of the traveler that stopped late one
evening mt the house of a lone
widow, and asked to stay all night.
No,” said tb* widow, "I am all
aione UeTe.”
"But, madam, I’m a preacher.”
"I’ve no doubt,” eald the widow,
for you look like a good man—but
you're a man.”
And while Pat Calhoun la a good
man, there la perfectly natural and
wholly unavoidable popular dis
trust opposed to hia candidacy—not
of the man, perhaps, but of bit pro
fession and Maociatlons.
Gordon’s friends are more hope
ful of the Governor's election since
the qnasl-csndldeoy of Pet Cal
houn. They aay that the Alllanoe
vote cannot be delivered to him In
bulk, and that In event he la urged
hy the Alllanoe leaders as their
candidate, enough votes will go to
Gqrdon to elect him.
Which le a shallow calculation-
very!
It la much mors probable, Just on
general principles, that the All!-
will risk their vlotory on no
one man’s success until they have
previously ascertained In canons
that he can be elected.
There are six candidates for
Bpeaker: Howell, of Fulton, Cal
vin, of Richmond, Flemiug, of
Richmond, Berner, of Monroe,
Jackson, of Heard, and Cutts, of
Sumter.
A Jot of good men!
Howell haa more than 70 votes
pledged, "first, last, and all tbe
time;” with down* of second-
choice pledgee of votes that moat
be given complimentary on the first
ballot.
Hia friends are absolutely confi
dent ot hit election.

HITCHCOCK S GREAT CITY.
Atlanta Con*tHntlon.
Macon, Ga,, October 80.—On yes
terday the Constitution recorded
the arrival in Atlanta of Colonel
Thomas P. Stovall and Mr. Benja
min Hitchcock, Tbe Constitution
said that the gentlemen were en
gaged in an enterprise which would
be of some importance to Georgia.
The Constitution’s correspondent
will now unfold the raid enterprise.
Messrs. Stovall and Hitchcock went
from Atlanta to Macon.
Mr. Hitchcock iaa well known
real estate dealer of New York.
Hia Ozone park, Union Course,
Rockaway Beach, Laurence Beach,
are nrell’kuown north.
He has acquired control, with Mr.
Stovall, of 27,000 acres of land In
Central Georgia, fifteen mllos from
Macon and 150 miles from the At
lantic coast, upon which ;bey pro
pose to found the city of "Grand
Center” with ail th* accoworiea of
the latest modern Improvements.
Four boulevards running to the
principal points of the compass will
be laid out, opened atid graded, and
a fine church built for eaoh denom*
inatlon, which will aggree to aocept
and "operate” it. Tbree-fourths of
the tract has already been In culti
vation. It fronts on the Oetnulgee
river, with deep water for sea-going
vessels, and is traversed by tbe
Macon mod Brunswick branch of
the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia railway. This winter, Mr.
Hitchcock la to go to Europe In the
Interest of tbe enterprise. Low
fares will be made from the North-
cities, and tbe enterprise will
be maintained on a. broad and
American scale.

last night was In svary respect
what was claimed for It The
freight train, the fast mall, and the
cunning work of woman wu
shown In every act. The audience
waa eo Interested that they were
astonished to know that time had
passed so swiftly, aa It was nearly
eleven o'clock at th* conclusion of
tbe performance. Tbe eoeolo ef
fects were simply grand—what
more oau be said. It waa a good
show. Everybody who attended
many that their* lives are above aus
plelon. Yet how many good peo
ple on aooount of elreutnstantla!
surroundings have had the finger
of unjust suspicion directed toward
them. Carbuncles, unyielding
eons, pimples on the face,
rough akin having an eruptive ap
pearance, etc., are In the eyes of so
■aay regarded ieptafwnly as in
dicating the presence ot tome con-
cagiooe blood disease, and pointed

of considerable annoyance. These

dencies of coarse find their origin
In the blood, bat not necessarily the
result of oontagion. The blood may
have become Impure on aooount of
colds and exposure. Improper food,
