NEW COTTON GIN.
A very Intereating account if giv
en of the recent Invention and suc
cessful trial of au improved cottou
gin, at Syracuse, New York.
The luveutlon does away entirely
with the saws that have heretofore
been used to strip the But from the
seed. The saws do their work ef
fectively, so far as separating the
lint fiom tlie seed is concerned, hut
in the process the fiber Is torn aud
broken to a considerable extent,
and there lias been a eo: slant de-
rnaud for a gin that would deal less
roughly with tile lint.
ISueli agin, according toa -eounts,
has at last been Invented by Mr. J.
it. Montague, a jeweler and watch
maker of Syracuse. His invention
is called tlie Montague Boiler Gin,
and the company that will have it
in charge iscomposed of both South
ern and Northern business men.
The description of the gin it elf
and of tlie trial test is very interest
ing, and, it is said, was in every
way successful—»o successful, in
deed, that the stockholders of tlie
,pew company, together with ilieir
friends, held n banquet at the I.e
laud hotel, al which they empha
sized and celebrated their good
fortune.

that the Colonel would have ;
wider Held of usefulness in Con
gressthan in llieexecutivechuir. It
pointed out (lie need of such a man
in the national legislature to advo
cate and defend the cause of the
farmers of the South. We are
pleased to learn that he and his
and his friends have come to the
same conclusion, ami that he will
be a candidate for Congress from
lhe Fifth district. While Judge
Stewart, who now represents that
district, is an able man, lie lias
never taken n decided stand in
favor of those measures advocated
by the Alliance, nud it is time that
a more aggressive man should take
bis place. Col. Livingston will
make his mark in Congress, and it
will be a brilliant one.

The Macon Telegraph records it
to the honor of the South that not
one of its memorial day orators
breathed a note of aecttonal bitter

•were full of wrath and bitterness
towards the South.

LONGSTREET'S TREATMENT
RICHMOND.
General Lougstreet was inter-
vied by u correspondent at St.Louis
last week, after leaving Richmond.
In talking freely of tlie treatment
ho received from his old soldiers
while in that city, the General said:
The hoys may misjudge me ami
my motives and actions with their
heads, hut their hearts are nil right
every time. 1 would not take a
good deal for my experience. Tlie
old soldiers covered me with con
federate Hags, cheered me, cried
over me, and wrung my hand again
ntul again. On- old man who serv
ed under me is now totally blind
Hesaitl: "General, I will see you no
more in this world, but I hope we’ll
meet up yomler, where we can all
see. I want to hear your voice once
more before 1 die." General Long
street was much affected while
talking of Ills old comrades In
arms.
If Mr. Livingston decides to make
the race for Congress In the Fifth
the prospects are that lie will have
an easy victory.
Brooks county is undecided
whether to call primary elections
but tlie general sentiment seems to
be in favor of them.
A bill will be introduced next

Acordlng to a statement, during
the last ten years, tlie loan compa
nies have put out on mortgages
upon farm lauds in Georgia ten
milliou dollars. Of tins amount
five mlllious have been paid aud
five millions are now in force. All
of the matured loans have been col
lected—about ninety-two per cent,
by payment and eight per cent, by
foreclosure. Au important state
ment, which speaks well for the
financial condition of tin Statu, Is
that a late number of five-year
loans have been paid when they
had only run two or three yens.

No reform connected with busi

CALL AND SEE
Its atlvooacy of the Louisiana
State Lottery is said to lie the only
black mark against tlie New Orleans
Times-Remoernl, throughout along
and honorable career.
Governor Gordon seems to want
to give an indirect boost to Col. L,
F. Llvlngstr n’s guberimtional
boom.—Brunswick Times.
The Times doesn’t exactly catch
on. It’s a case of "you sern’eh my
back aud I’ll tickle your elbow."
Gordnu is getting a little shaky
about tlie U. 8. Semitorship. He
feared that Livingston, with the
backing of the alliance, might give
him trouble. Now he gets Ltvlng-
ston and the “orgau" to give him
a chance to slobber over the farm
ers aud they jointly agree to let
him have thesenatorship, provided
he will help Livingston to get the
Governorship. This is the way it
lookB to alliauceineu down this
way. If it Isn’t a deal—a dicker—
a trade—then a great many people
are fooled and we do not believe
there is any fooling In it.—Cuthbert
Liberal.
GOVERNOR N0RTHEN.
With Livingston out of the field
and the Alliance solidly united on
Xortheu, it lookB tolerably certain
that the latter gentleman will in
a few moats prefix the title of Gov
ernor to his name. Georgia is to be
congratulated upon tlie prospect,
for there ara few, if any, men in the
State better fitted for the position.
A Christian gentleman, a scholar
and a statesman, with a heart In full
sympathy with the people, he will
make a model executive, and give
to Georgia a pure and able adminis
tration.

Texas sets at least one good ex
ample In spending more money for
educational purposes than any
other Southern slate, and, with fen-
exceptions, more than any one of
the Northern states. Last year she
spent about $3,000,000 In support of
the .common school system, aud
about $500,000 for higher education.
Every dollar she spends for educa
tion will bo worth eventually a hun
dred to her.
By tlie pluck and energy of her
cltlzeus, Americus continues to go
rapidly forward. He whoso actions
are baBed upon a ditlereut idea is
sure of a losing game. Now is the
time to invest.
Congressman Allen, of Missis
sippi, makes the suggestion that ex
Confederates build a monument to
General Grant, to bear the inscrip
tlon: “To a generous foe, by his
late adversaries.”
Editor Larry Gantt, of the Athens
Banner, positively declines to
make tlie race for Congress from
his district, after a very Battering
call from his people, Including the
alliancemen, to do so. His reason
for declining is that hla editorial
work is more important just now.
The resolution proposing a woman
suffrage amendment to the const!
tution has been favorably reported
by the House judiciary committee,
but It 1b hardly probable that petti
coat balloting will become general
in this country, for some time yet,
at least.
On the 27th of August the defunct
Greenbackers propose to rally a
convention at Indianapolis. If they

trade circles Interest in, their cause
would likely revive.
Becoming uncomfortable with
heat, while speaking in the House,

laid aside His coat aud culls to fin

of the kind in the history of that
body, and is said to have created a
ludicrous scene.

A Washington special yesterday
announced that Senator Colquitt
has refuted a $10,000 position oiler-

have necessitated hie resignation as
