It Will Be a Baco From the Start—And Groat Intereat la Already Excited— Some Intereating Pointa—Candidate! For Mayor. Matters municipal are getting warm. And the citizens are getting In- Icreated. There promises to be a lively race. And It In well that a primary will he held. The Recorder hae tor the past four year* urged that primaries be held for all offices, thus avoldtog any scramble among our oltlzena for office. It now looks as If we will have at least three candidates for Mayor, and all of them good men. To-morrow a mass meeting of the citizens will be held, and a com* mittee chosen to settle date and rules for a primary for Mayor, three Aldermen aud Clerk and Treasurer. That’s the way It stands now. After to-morrow, or rather after preliminaries for a primary have been arrauged, announcements will be in order, aud there will cer talnly be enough of them to make things interesting. ' Of course, the race for mayor will excite the most interest, and already things are warming up in thiB direction. Capt. Jno. A. Cobb may be a can didate. As au alderman he has served his citizens well, and is a popular and strong man. Mayor Jno. B. Felder, it isgen- erally understood, will be a can didate for re-election to the office he has filled so well and bo long held. He has many friends who are confident of his re-election if he permits his name to be used. Then Alderman Fat Williams will in all probability be In the race. His friends want him run, and say they will elect him That makes three, aud three men of influence. These three are about all who will enter. Others have been mentioned as probable candidates, but will hardly take a hand in the race. Mr. Joe Roney has been promt uently mentioned but will not be a candidate. ' In talking with a Re corder representative, yesterday, he said: "No, I am not, and will not be a candidate. Homo of my friends have said something about making the race, but I am conteut with my present office. Of the three who I have heard will make the race, any one will satisfy me. They are all good men." Then of the three, who will be chosen ? Providing that they all enter the race. A mass meeting of the citizens has been called for to-morrow after noon. Will this settle the matter as regards a primary? A1I those mentioned are as sound and solid Democrats as the county boasts,but unless the mass meeting Is a repre sentative one they do not consider themselves bound to abide by Its action. On this line a close friend of Mayor Felder said yesterday "Mayor Felder has not yet decided whether to allow the use of bis name. It he should enter the race I know he would agree to a prima ry, provided It was clearly demon strated that the mass of the Demo cratic party wished a primary. You know a half dozen people could get together and call a mass meeting, and run It to suit themselves." Another interesting point just here is the one of eligibility, the point arousing so muoh discussion In the recent Atlanta election. Are Capt. Cobb and Mr. Wil liam.] eligible to the office of Mayor? This question of eligibility has received a great deal of attention recently and is certainly a moat in teresting point. Some hold they are eligible, and others they are not. , A1I in all the contest promises to be one full of interest, and the ball set rolling to-morrow wiUlnorease In momentum* eaeh day until the new officers are selected. Ourisd to Albany. A white, man was arrested here yesterday ' for making awfywith some money in Albany. Informa tion was.recelved here that he was wanted,' and he was * pulled and sent back In good bands. .. . v DANGEROUS DEEDS. School Children Playing Around Elec tric Otra Should be Stopped. A Recorder reporter's attention was called yesterday evening to a very dangerous habit ou the part of the small school boys In exposing themselves to the electric cars. “It Is very annoying to us," re marked an electric mntorman In conversation with the reporter. “When the small bors see an ap proaching car they cross the road a* often as possible before It passes and unless the dangerous method Is broken up there will be a funeral ere long, as It would be Impossible to stop a car instantly ou a heavy grade.” This deserves the aMSUtlon of pa rents and teachers, and should be stopped before some one is billed.

Saturday la always a busy day, but yesterday was especially lively.! From tbs Atlanta Constitution, Asheville, N. C., November 25. —1'be immigration convention which is to assemble in this city on the 17th of December, deserves -more than passing notice. In fact, it 1b one of the most Important as semblages ever called together in the South. The first Southern interstate Im migration convention was held in Montgomery, AlA., on tnel2th of December, 1888, and was composed of delegates from the States of Vir ginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, North Carol!na* South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ala bama, Mississippi, Bouslana, Texas and tbe Territories of New Mexico and Arizona. Among tbe promi nent gentlemen present, and who now compote the executive com mittee were: R. F. Kolb, Alabama; W. B. Glessner, Georgia; G. W. Carlisle, Mississippi; John T. Pat rick, North Carollua; J. K. Gwyhn, Missouri; TempleBodley, Kentuc ky; A. P. Butler, South Caroli na; J. E. Ingraham, Florida; T. W. Poole, Bouslana; T. F. Nelson, New Mexico; B. M. Hord, Tennes see ; F. B. Chilton, Texas; G. W. C. Hale, Virginia. The purpose of the Montgomery convention wps to secure the united aud harmonious action of all tbe southern states In the mat ter of "added population and capi tal for the south." Much has been accomplished, and the prospects are that tbe move made at Mont gomery will result in the speedy development of tbe south’s great resources. So important will be tbe Influence of this second con vention upon the prosperity and growth of the south, that it.should Impel every official to whom the call is directed to take suoh prompt and effective action as will result In a grand and influential conven tion. The spirit of the Montgom ery convention was breathed in the' following resolutions: Resolved, That we tbe members of this Southern Interstate Immigration conven tion, at Montgomery, AlA, assembled, pledge*ourselves, Individually and collec tively, to support and enoonrage any and aU efforts tbat may be Insngurated by tbs to make known our resources and to tx- tend-our hearty Invitation to Immigrants and capital to settle among us. In the call issued by General Manager Chilton, of Austin, Tex., for the Asheville conventloS, tbe basis of representation is announced as follows: Two delegates from escb senato rial district, to be appointed by the governor of the state or territory. Four delegates from the state at large, to be appointed by tbe gov ernor. Two delegates from escb eounty, to be appointed by the board of county commissioners, or byjthe chairman of said board. Two delegates from each chamber of commerce, board of trade or cor porate body in tbe varlons states. One delegate from eaoh city or town, to be appointed by tbe may or or the president of the trustees of suoh town. Two delegates from each editorial association In the states and territories Interested. One delegate from passenger de partment of eaoh railway doing business In tbe United States of America. One delegate from each chartered land company in tbe Southern States. In all cases ^where delegatee are lappolnted an equal number of alternates shall be appointed by tbe same author ity. ' W In tbe appointment of delegates it is urged that* earnest, patrlotlo, public-spirited cltlxens be appoint ed, and tbat only snob be commis sioned as will attend. For tbe pur pose of estimating attendance, se curing proper accommodations and arranging adequate transporta tion, It la requested tbat all dele gatee be appointed as early as pos sible, aud that General Manager Chilton should be supplied by all appointing powers with a fall list of names oBdelegates commission- fed by them. It is necessary to ap point delegates at once on account the time being short. Wbertha Montgomery conven tion was oallsd, its purposes Were rather vague, and beyond providing tor subsequent action, lt cansot be said to have have happened whloh give point and emphasis to the necessity of filling up the waste places In the South. Aa a meana of maintaining her political status in the Union steps mast at onoe be taken to in crease the population of the South ern stales. The admission of the Northwestern territories to state hood, as well as the evident pur pose of the Republicans, under the recent oensus, to gerrymander tbe Southern states out of tbe place to which they are entitled present grave reasons why the questlou of Immigration should be taken up with vim. That the fairest portion of the Union, where soil and cli mate unite in attraction, should re main waste, wnile the blizzard- afflicted West should be built up so marvelously, is an anomaly whloh should not exist. The spirit of improvement has already touched Virginia to th > north. At nearly every Btatlon ean be seen piles of brick and lumber, while the Immense receipts of ma- machinery show that the craftsmaii is becoming an Important figure, la many parts of North Carolina may be seen the hand of revival, but the Influx of people Is wanting. ■ftt here Is a state with the re sources of an empire. In every variety of wood; In every mineral deposit known to Industry; in production of soil and diversity of yield, North Carolina stands unapproachable. ^All she wants is population—brawny arms to delve out her resources; willing hands to turn the looms of trade. In a different degree South Caro lina presents claims to attention. The country along tbe Richmond and Danville is especially worthy of attention, and even further south, the state presents rich fields for the thrifty Immigrant. RUINED BY A PRIZE. VERY LITTLE DONE. ' Old Man Is Deed—How a Happy Home Was Broken Up By a Lottery Prise. Special to Ricoboxb. Atlanta, Nov. 29.—Old man Edwards is dead—Major Grant F. Ed wards I He died this morning about three o’clock. The story dosing with his death Is a strange one. It’s. pathetic in its way, too. About eighteen months ago, the message came to Atlanta one morn ing that one-tenth of the capital prize had been drawn In Atlanta. What a commotion and excitement Southern Interstate Immigration bureau Fibers was amongst the people tbat had tlokstsl Wliat a comparing of numbers, and speculating! The next morning the story was printed about this old man Ed wards, an engineer In the Joaroal press room, had drawn 116,000. He had been all his life a poor man. IJe worked hard, had ac quired a little home of bis own, and was steady, quiet and home- loving. . Hls ohlldren worn all, grown and married; but the old mau and hls wife wero tenderly cared for, and there wasn't a hap pier little home- In Atlanta than that of old man Edwards. ' That lottery ticket ruined blml The 115.000 brought domestic trou ble; It bred intemperate habits; brought on scandals and gossip, Tbe borne was broken up; the lives of tbe ohlldren were maao misera ble by the treatment of tbelr moth- or, culminating finally in eult for divorce. The old man ont hie former ac quaintances, was insolent and over bearing toward bis relatives,squan dered money lavishly upon women and horses, drank all the time. He furnished talx for the boye about town; hie puerile escapades and ridiculous adventures would make a book. Hls money lost him hls home, bis friends, hls happiness. He was a miserable man. He lived on me chanically, growing grayer aud feebler. Now bell dead! Preachers might search In vain for a better text than thatold man’s life. _ He win be bnrled to-morrow a! Westvlew.

Last session, It will be remem bered, it was prophesied that tbe opponents of tbe bill had their po litical graves dug, that If tbe bill didn't pass the last general assem bly, It certainly would pass this year; It was an eternal principle, truth crushed to earth, etc , etc. . Not % word about It bas been beard in this legislature—not a^ whisper.
