Vote early, but not often, to-day "Now let u* have peace,"Jcry the defeated candidates. Cap’n Harry Brown will have to take Senator Gordon, after all. If Cap’n Harry never takes anything worse he will yet be a great man Tho Tribune of Borne Is once more forging to the front among Georgia papers. Editor Harris and Proprietor Seay are spending mon ey freely to Improve Its service, and It bids fair to beoome the great paper it once was. There is quite a discussion In va Tlous cities of the State as to whether aldermen whose terms of office have not yet expired are eligible to the office of mayorjunder the present law. Lawyers differ in their opinions. The only way to decide the matter la (for some olty to elect an alderman, and then bring it before the courts. But up to date no city has been 5found which is willing to take such a risk. How we feel for our old friend R. Butler, editor of the Clinton (Ill.) Public, who lives In Rowell’s dis trict, whloh refused to return the distinguished chairman of the Elections Committee. The last issue of tho Publlo has the follow, lng: "President Harrison, on last Sat urday, issued his proclamation for Thanksgiving Day, for Thursday, the 27th of November. In It he says: 'I commend to my tellow- cltlzens the privilege of remember ing the poor, the homeless, and the sorrowful.’ We are glad the Presi dent remembered the ’sorrowful,’ for just now that Includes the whole Republican party, especially the defeated candidates.’’ Below are copied three letters from Comptroller General Wright to Tax Receiver Mize, of this city. They speak for themselves. If be has made a good officer be wants you to come out and say so to-day, He Is a candidate for olecre- tlon and asks your support. Can you give It to him? “Yes That’s right. Turntout and show your appreciation of a good officer when you havo one: J. W. Mize, R. T. R. Sumter county. Dear Sir:—'Your digest for 1888 received, and, upon examination, I find It very satisfactory. In neat ness of appearance and correct and Intelligent arrangement It com pares favorably with any book in the office, but the highest compli ment to your energy and efficiency Is the unusually large increase In the returns. It Is certainly very flattering to both the enterprising people of Sumter county and your, self. Very respectfully, W. A. Wright, Comptroller General, Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 23,1889. J. W. Mize, Esq., Receiver Tax Returns, Sumter county: Dear Sib:—Your digest for 1889 received and examined. I And it maintains that degree of excellence whloh usually marks your books, while the Increase in the returns stamps Sumter as one of the banner counties of the State, Respectfully, W. A. Wriqht, Comp. Gen, J. W. Mize, Esq., R. T. R. Sum ter county. Dear Sir :—Your digest for 1890 received, and after a careful exami nation it affords me pleasure to tes. tlfy to 11b uniform excellence. The increase Is a remarkable one, and places Sumter In tho front rank of prosperous and progressive counties, while at the Bame time it Is very complimentary to your dil igence and efficiency. Very Respectfully, W. A. Wright, Comp. Gen’l AN IMMIGRATION CONVENTION. Mr. F. B. Chilton, general man ager of tho Southern Inter-States Immigration Bureau, has called a Convention to be held In Asheville, N. C., on Dee. 17th next. The ob ject of tbe convention is to discuss the best plans for tbe securing of immigration to the Southern 8tates. In all probability the question of Inviting emigration from Europe will also be discussed. This convention will take up tho work of tbe Montgomery convec tion, held In 1888. The Record er has already published the call for the convention, in which It whs shown how delegates could be ap pointed. From the present Indications there will be a large number of del. ogates present, as Asheville is making preparations on a large scale to receive them. These dele gates will represent every State, and almost every portion of tbe South. That tbe South needs Immigra tion Is an undisputed fact. A well organized Bureau representing the South, If thoroughly equipped, could do great work In this direc tion, but the great stJmbllng block heretofore has been the raising of zuSelent funds to operate suoh a Bureau. There are several bureaus Which are provided for by tho legislatures, though unfortuuately Georgia Is not one of them, as she depends upon personal advertising, paid for by those who are sufficient ly interested In the work. Very few of the Southern rall- roadsown large bodies of land, and the only interest they have In im migrate tk to sell them tlnkets. If the delegates who will meet In Asheville next month can secure sofflolent financial encouragement the rest la easy, though It will require thorough and systematic work. Heretofore there has been a great prejudice in the 8outh against European emigration, and it Isa question of doubt whether tbe Asheville convention will be willing to open the doors of the South to Europe. It is be hoped that the convention will find some way of placing the ions of the South before tbe ~ ' North and West in as to be of great the South. If I have made a good officer, now ask your support. J. W. Mize. Insurance Against Discaso. In certain Instances there have been arrangements made betweon a physician and tbe head of a fam ily that a fixed amount should be paid for each day tbe various mem bers of the family eouilnued In good health. Bat should siokness enter tbe household, tbe physician usual stipend was discontinued Suoh an agreement Is founded on common sense, for we don’t want to be made well, we want to bo kept well. There Is a great deal of un necessary sickness resulting from a want of careful attention to bodily requirements. Keep tbe blood pure, keep tbe functional habits of the body regular, counteract the effects of exposure by always hav ing a bottle of Dr. John Bull’s Sar. saparllla in the household and using it In anticipation of an attack of Illness or when tbo very first symptoms aro manifest. Disease will not trouble you if you will heed this good advice. It is an excel lent preventive of disease and de cay, as well as a safe cure.—Marlon Banner. ANOTHER R. R. FORABBEVIL Special to Rzcohdxr. Abbeville, Nov. 20.—Abbeville will soon have another railroad. The surveyors of tbe Wrlghtsville and Teunlle Railroad passed here yesterday en route to Tlfton. They have made two surveys as far this place, and this road Is also certainty. Abbeville will, In tbe near future, be a great railroad cen. ter. Brlok laying commenced this morning on two larsre brick stores, and soon others will follow. Tbe artesian well is about three hundred and fifty feet {deep, and Mr. L. B. Clay, the contractor, thinks he will get water ij about ten or fifteen fee* more. Everybody was jubilant of the great victory won by the grand old champion of tho South—John Gordon. Mr. Grasty, editor of the Haiti more Manufacturer’s Record, gives the following account of an inter view with Speaker Reed, before the adjournment of Congress. About two months ago Mr. W. P. Rloe, the leader In Southern Invest ments In Boston, had occasion to visit Washington. At his request I went with him. Having former ly been a noted New England Re publican he was warmly received by Speaker Reed in bis privato room. Reed bad lost sight of the fact that Rice bad placed several millions of dollars in Southern properties, and so he took him Into hl< confidence. Said Reed: "See here, Rice, something must be done to stop this exodus of capital from New England. The South threat ens to parallze our industrial prop erty. The election bill wilt call a halt on Southern Investments, and that’s why I am urging It so stren uously.” To the Suffering.

Woolfolk was sitting in his of- floo, when several friends walked in and engaged blm In conversa' tlon. His Honor began talking them, all the while eating some thing that be had to oraok between bis teeth before tbe meat was ex tracted. Finally, one of his eallers asked: “What’s that you are eating, Tom?" “Pecans. Tiy some?” “Thanks, yes.” □“They are Albany pecans, too, said tbe Mayor, “they grow right hore In Albany.” “Where?” "Up hore nt Col. Tift’s. He has several trees that are now bearing as flno pecans as can be found In the market. One of his trees Is heavily loaded now. He has sev en or eight trees fruited with this nut, and has several more that will bear In a few years.” Pecan growing has long engaged the attention of many citizens of Southwest Georgia, Col. Tift being one of tbe first to engage in it. has proven a wonderful success and the fruits of It are now being real ized by tbe public. Mr. J. W. Walters has some pe can seed that ho Is going to plant and hopes in a few years to have some vory fine trees bearing this nut The treesjin .this section not only thrive but produce a yield of some of tbe finest nuts grown in the Uni ted States. This enterprise is bo- coming more prominent and at tracting more attention every year. Tbe Davenport Drug Company have made a large purchase of W. W. C., Woldrldge's Wonderful Cure, the greatest Blood Purifier and family medicine now on the market, for tbe purpose of supply ing tbe trade throughout this sec tion. Send them your orders, and save freights from distant points, Mr. Pope, of Oglethorpe, has In troduced a bill in the Georgia Leg islature wbloh will no doubt create tbe liveliest discussion. It is a bill looking toward the educatlou)of the negro In Georgia,land provides lor the establishment of a school for colored people to bo carried on In connection and as a branch of tbo State University. It is proposed to place It under the supervision of tho present officers of the State University, and locate in whatever city that offers the best'induce ments for securing it. Tbe bill fur ther provides that tbe sum of $8,000 a year shall be appropriated by tbe State for the maintenance of the Institution, Owing to exposure I havo been Indisposed with noute rheumatism about six months. My skill failed to afford me relief and I was in 1 duced to try Bull’s Sarsaparilla, and must confess that it entirely cured me. It Is decidedly superior to all other preparations of Sarsa parilla.—B. B. Allen, M. D., Bran don, Ky. Another Rioter Dealt Wlth.1 Tbe case of Ed. Hammond, another of the rioters, came up be fore Judgo Pilsbury yesterday morning, and was lined $70 and costs. He secured tbe money and saved himself from an imprison ment of three months. ‘THE IDLER’S NOTE BOOK." | Southern Interstate Immigretlon Con. ventlon.
