railroad was aold at sheriff's sale
last Tuesday aud knocked off to
Col. W. J*. Price, Its president, at

The pension craze lias at last
reached a climax, by a representa*
tlve from Nebraska Introducing a
bill which propo»»a to bestow a
pension upon every ex-slave In the
South.
Dodson and Brady Is the winning
ticket.
Macon’s signal service bureau Is
now in full operation.
A few days more "seasons” will
save as fins a corn crop as could be
asked.
Speaker Reed’s congress seems
likely to hold on until tbo first
frost.
A Livingston club has been or-
ganized In Atlanta with Judge Bute
Dorsey as president.
For once In Georgia, the honest
yeomanry will take a seat upon the
accomplished politlclanry this year.
Advices from throughout the
county indicate the nomination of
Brady and Dodson by a handsome
majority.
Kansas City’s population Is put
at 185,000 by the census, an Increase
of one hundred and thirty percent,
since 1880.
A prominent candidate for Con
gress In North Georgia rides to
church, like Bill Arp’s “Big John,"
In an ox carl.
The Carnesville and Elherton
sub-Alliances have each decided by
formal vote to eschew politics as an
organization.
Corporal Tanner seems to be mak
ing his patriotism pay. It Is said
that he will make $50,000 this year
as a pension attorney.
Where do the candidates for the
legislature stand upon the stock
law question ? It Is time they were
putting themselves on record.
Birmingham makes the best
showing of any city heard from so
far. It has Increased about eight
hundred per cent. In the last ten
years.
Brady stood by the stock law meu’
In the hour of their need, and as
they may need him again on the
same question, they have deter
mined to return him to the Leglsla
ture.
There is ro longer any doubt in
New York that ex-Secretary Whit
ney intends to try to secure the
Democratic presidential nomina
tion In 1802. It Is boldly claimed
that Tammany will go solid for
Win.
According to the New York Sun
all but three of the Democratic con
gressmen who went out to the force
bill was being voted upon were
paired out with Republicans and
could not have voted If they had
been present.
A writer In the Augusta Chronl
ole predicts the election of a Repub
lican Governor in South Carolina,
He gives as his reason that the
Democratic party Is already split in
that state.;
Brady's strength is increasing
every day. The people recognize
the fact that he has made a faithful
and able representative, and that is
the kind of men they want in the
legislature.
It is reported from Washington
that eight or ten Western Republi
can Senators have formed a combi
nation to defeat the tariff bill, and
that the prospect of Its passage is
very slim.
The people are going to return
Judge Crisp to Congress because he
has made them a good representa
tlve, and they are golDg to return
Wright Brady to the legislature for
the same reason.
Tuition has beeD made free in the
literary department of academic

cover all the charges. '
Col. Northen will resign the pres
idency of the State Agricultural
Society at Its meeting in Macon in
August. An effort will be made to
haye him retain the position until
after the State fair In October.
The bagging to be manufactured
from notion stalk flbre promises to
be well received by farmers, ware
housemen and manufacturers. If
successful It will prove of untold
benefit to the Southern States.
Perhaps nothing better, says an
exchange, could happen for the
South just now than for Congress
to take a four year’s recess, let the
business of the country develop It
self, aud the negro take care of
himself.
The proposition recently made In
Louisiana to submit the lottery
question to the Democratic white
voters of the state in 1892 was agreed
to by the lottery people. If the lot'
tery should then be defeated they
will quit the state.
The holding of meetiugs In the
North to protest agalnit the pass'
age of the Lodge election bill can
osrtainly do no harm, and may
succeed In stiffening the knees of
the few Republicans in the Senate
who oppose the bill.
Hon. W. A. Little, of Columbus,
has been suggested for the preel
dency or the next Democratic State
convention. The suggestlou is (
good one, for Mr. Little Is an ac
compllshed parliamentarian and
an impartial presiding officer.
The young men of Sumter county
a few years ago sent Hon. W. M.
Hawkes to the legislature and he
made a brilliant and useful mem'
her. They now have an opportunl
ty of repderlng the county a similar
service, and they are going to do It.
Madison, with her Intelligent and
progressive community, Is one of
Georgia's best towns, but she has
taken a baokward step In deciding
against public schools. She failed
to get the requisite two-thirds ma
jority in an election last Wednes
day. >-■
George Bancroft, the Illustrious
historian, Is now in so feeble a
health that his friends feel his end
to be near. He was born In Wor
cester, Mass., Oct. 3,1800, and is the
oldest surviving graduate of Har
vard College, belonging to the class
of 1817,
Ssm Jones has created another
sensation. At Wheeling, West
Vlrginla,he denounced the ministry
•f all the churches as weak, corrupt
and cowardly, asserting that the
high license ministers, as he termed
them, were doomed to hell. He
succeeded in raising a breeze.
WITHOUT A PARALLEL.
The Atlanta correspondent of the
Columbus Enqulrer-Sun writes of
the gubernatorial situation as fol
lows:
Was there ever a state of affaire
iu the history of Georgia like the
present ? Was there ever an In
stance of a candidate for Governor
having no opposition ?
I put these questions to Governor
Gordon ss he sat In his private
office one afternoon this week.
"Never,” was his reply. “Of
course there have been cases of
unanimous re-election like my
own, but Colonel Northen will, uu<
less all sigus fail, enjoy the dis
tinction of being the only Governor
who ever secured both nom'nation
and election without opposition
It Is a high honor, Indeed, and
the man is worthy of It.” High
praise that, and from a source that
will be appreciated.
The msp makers are very much
concerned about the many changes
that have taken place, and others
that are promised, and are coni'
plaining grievously. One of them
is quoted as saying: “If.this thing
goes on we’ll all have to go Into
bankruptcy. We hadn't got our
United States maps fixed up with
North and South Dakota before the
Brazil revolution knocked Souh
America endwise, and now Wyom
lng and Idaho are turned Into
States. Africa has to be fixed over
every six months, and the latest
and worst change of all is In this
German-Engllsh arrangement to
knock out Heligoland from the
British empire. That Isn’t a big
change, but It Is plenty big enough
to spoil ail our maps of Europe. It
would almost pay the map makers
of the world to chip In and buy the
nasty little Island in order to make
a present of It to England, and save
the expense of getting up new maps
of Europe.”
The first negro bank In the South
is to be started In Birmingham,
with a capital of $50,000, controlled
n—t operated exclusively by tie'
g(U«*.
Chicago Is about to build a $2,000,-
000 masonic temple, eighteen stories
high. It |s supposed the upper
stories will be devoted to the higher
degrees.
Judge Sam Harris was endorsed
by a mast meeting of the Democrats
of Carroll connty Wednesday to
succeed Grimes from the Fourth
district.
Capt. W. E. Wooten baa consent
ed to make the race for Representa
tive from Dougherty county, tbbugb
bit formal announcement hss not
yet been made.
The yonng men of this county, If
they ever hope to gratify a worthy
ambition, will certainly vote for
their representative In the legis
lative race.
This talk about Blaine resigning
is quite wearisome. Experience has
demonstrated that resigning a good
official position Is not one of the
family characteristics.
Georgia still famishes the first
bale. Primus Jones is dead, but bis
faithful colored employes have
successfully sustained the victory
of the old plantation.
J. H. Klmbrell, the man who
opened an original package
barroom In LIthonIa, has six cases
against him, and he will be dealt
with by the United States Court.
A special from McDonough says
a great many voters In Henry
oounty are waiting for Dorsey or
Chandler to announce for Congress
in the Fifth district. The friends
of Stewart and Livingston both
claim the county.

Teachers are clamoring for some
plan by which they may get their
mosey for teaching the public term
sooner than they Ro now. Asjt Is,
they are compelled to waltfrom July
until September. They deserve
some relief.
Hou. W. R. Gorman has an
nounced himself as a candidate for
Congress from the Fourth district.
Mr. Gorman is a practical farmer,
a flue scholar and a sterling Demo'
orat, a combination that would look
well In Congress.
If the general strike which la
threatened In the mining district
near Birmingham Is not averted,
ten thousand miners will be thrown
out of employment and' a number
of mines and furnaces will have to
suspend operation.
Judge Roberts has refused to
modify bis restraining order grant
ed the Macon and Dublin road
against the Macon aud Atlantic.
However, the forces of the latter
road are at^work, and the situation
is growing interesting.
It Is now reasonably sure that
the corn crop will be larger than
last year. The prospects for cetton
are also better than for the same
time last year, though there U time
yet tor the season and other causes
to ohange this prospect.
Report says the Alliance Is after
Colonel Rufus E. Lester in the first
district. That is, some questions
will be put to him, including his
position on the sub-treasury bill,,
and upon hla answers depends the
question of opposition to him.
The report that Colonel Northen
would resign the presidency of the
State Agricultural Society haa been
corrected by a letter from that gen
tleman. His term expires In Feb
ruary, until which time he express
es hla willingness to hold the posi
tion.

There Is said to be a strong senti
ment lu favor of Major C. B. Woot
en for Congress from the Second
district, and Monday he was unani
mously endorsed by a mass meeting
in Calhoun crunty. The Albany
News, however, states that Major
Wooteu positively declines to make
the race.
A large delegation of Congressmen
will celebrate the 4th of July In
New York. A special train will
be run for their accommodation.
Every one of the ten members
from Georgia has received an Invb
tation to address the Tammany
sachems. An unusual compliment
to be paid a single state.
Georgia’s lumber business is esti
mated second In importance of her
Industries, being put next to cot'
ton. The immense cut of 187 square
miles, or 120,000 acres Is her annu
al output. The extent of the pine
belt is variously estimated at from
6,000 to 12,500 square miles, or from
sixteen to forty billion feet of lum'
her standing.
Brunswick Times: The Times
would like to know how those Geor
gians who have been fighting the
railroads feel, now that the West
ern and Atlantlo railroad has been
safely and advantageously leased?
They wasted much time and many
word* that might have been put to
better use, aud they ought to feel
•orry. Probably they do.
In the census of 1880 only one city
in the United (Rates, New York,
showed a population of a million
people. Now there are three, Chi
cago and Philadelphia having
reached that number. The census
of these thrse olties for 1890 is as
follows: New York 1,627,227, In
crease 421,926; Chicago 1,066,000, In
crease 582,815; Philadelphia 1,040,-
499, Increase 103,329. Thus it will
be seen that Chicago has the largest
increase of any city In the Union.

PATRICK BASS, Sheriff.
The Boston Herald has the fol
lowing criticism of the new census:
The trifling with the taking of the
censns, which is reported In several
quarters, is very unfortunate. The
Indications are that the superin
tendent of the census Is an unlit
man for his work, and that he has
allowed the men under him to be
much too often selected without re
gard to any qualification aside from
politics. It It a great pity that the
tariff question was allowed to enter
Into consideration In making the
appointment, and that one who had
no claims on the ground of breadth
of attainment, or fitness for admin'
lstratlve work, should have been
pnt In a place so difficult and res
ponsible. Politics has seldom curs
ed the country more than In this
business.
The legislative race has developed
some ourlous features. It will be
remembered that the caucus whiob
nominated Col. Cutts and Mr. Me-
Donald waa composed exclusively
of members of the Alliance, and yet
since the candidates were brought
out they seem to have put In all
their work for Col. Cutte, who Is
not an AUlanceman, and to have
left Mr. McDonald, who Is prest
dent of the Connty Alliance, to hoe
hie row. It le now an open boast
that Col. Cutta will be elected, but
no such claim le made for Mr. Mc
Donald, in fact hie defeat seems to
be conceded.
The watermelon season is about
over iu Boston, Ga., and the deal
ers are well satisfied. The Georgia
and Carolina melon exchange bat
proven one of the most Important
moves in the interest of the growers
ever made, and all who bound
themselves to the syndicate now
wear faces of happy content, good
prices having been received for
their product. It Is believed every
grower will make a contract with
them the coming season.
As the farmers of Snmter county
are greatly interested in the stock
law, it seems a little queer that leg
islative candidates who have pro
fessedly been brought out in their
Interest should refute to express
themselves on the subject Are
they In favor of or against a stock
law? In case the Supreme Court
decides the present stock law un
constitutional will they vote to re
peal the general law aud In favor of
a stock law for Sumter county?
