The Alliance will be contented to do its reform work inside the Democratic party. Newspaper changes are now be ing made, in order to start with the new year. Mr. C. B. Chapman is the latest, who goes from the LaGrango Graphic to the Sanders vllle Progress. The present legislature, at least those members who are alliance- men, do not like newspaper critl oism. They ate probably finding out that there is considerable work about the duties of a legislator, wheu he does his duty. The Democrats in Congress, in both Senate and house, have hard work laid out for them. Besides the force bill there are many large appropriation bills, and a new ap' portlonmeut bill must be passed. As the Republicans have a major! ty, it keeps the Democrats on the alert. The next Congress will change all this. THE RAILROAD COMMISSION.

Atlanta al ways holds a man ready for every thing. It is true the farmurs put in a governor this year, but tbey could not get a United States sena tor away from Atlanta, and draw ing tbe line at Macon, it has been fifty years since a United Stales Senator has bocu elected or appoint ed from the Southern pin of the State. Judge Willis A. Hawkins for a short time was appointed Judge of tbe Supreme Court, but be was not re-elected, and noSoutb Georgia tuan lias ever been eieoted for any of the big offices tn the last thirty years, “We would llko very much if this rule could be broken in the case of tbe uex^ railroad commis sioner for the state of Georgia, Judge Alien Fort is on, of the ablest judges In tbe state of Geor gia. He is s fine lawyer, fully in sympathy with the people, with a mind capable of grarplng the great questions of railroad transportation and with sufficient legal acumen and executive ability to catry Into efleot the decisions prompted by his good judgment. “The transportation of lumber and naval stores is a great question. Each day at Cordele we see over a huured cart of lumber pass and re-pass. Numbers and numbers of cars of naval stores also passing and re-passing every .day. These two articles make rnorfe tonage for the railroads than everything else combined, and it does seem that we ought to have* man posted on the needs of the manufacturers of these two articles of merchandise for our next commissioner. Judge Allen Fort Is a man whom the naval ■toresmen and lumber men had rather see appointed to the post tlon tiian any one else. ■ “They are anxious to have him appointed. They believe that in him tbey would have a representa tive familiar with their needs, and while willing to do justice to tbe railroads, is in sympathy With the shippers In their efforts to secure quick transportation and equitable and jnst rates for theso two arti cles, the transportation of which enters so largely Into the question* to be passed apou by the railroad commissioners. A man not fa miliar with the needs end require ments l of our people throughout this section of the country cannot ■o ably represent them as one like Judge Allen Fort, who has lived here all his days. ‘‘Gdv. Northen could not do a better thing then to appoint this distinguished jurist who la so fa miliar xith the great need* of our aeefjwjtp |l>ls Important, position. We sincerely trust that Hon. Alien Fort of the county of Sumter will be appointed to'fitl the position of railroad commissioner for the state made.” ' FOR RENT! An cxccllnut Truck and Dairy Farm, onc-lmlf milo from city.
