pliances were brought to bear upon it,
would revolutionize tbe testlie Industry
of thli country.
It la a coane, nettle-like weed that
grows wild all over tbe southern country
in moi.t, ahady places. It is common in
river bottoms Scientists have declared
fibre of tbe ramie to be superior to either
cotton, silk or fiaz. It la as soft as silk

named. It is grown largely In India
aud largo quantities of it are now

While Hie action of tho stale Demo
cratic convention on Wednesday was
almost perfunctory in Its nature, by rea
son of them being no contests save foe
two positions on tlio ticket, oae special
feature was strongly noticeable, and that
was the genuine enthusiasm which per
vaded the body, and the tremendous
earnestness with which tho men who
were present were so thoroughly filled.
It was knuwn that save in tho office of
Attorney-General there wsre likely to
be no contests, yet one of tho largest and
most enthusiastic conventions of repre

overflowing; comparing In all respects
with tha great convention of Hay which
hail before it the Cleveland and anti-
Cleveland tight.
Kvery county In Georgia was repre
sented. and this was Indicative of the
fact that the great Democratic party,
the party of tbe |ieople, was thoroughly
aroused to action by reason of ths oppo
