TBq peach crop in this commu i®3ty.has practically been markct ■Mul and the business for the season mwmnd up. It was much shorter Ttesai was expected, but notwith ;4rtwuGUhng the short crop, it has rbeeni profitable to growers and to ttho community. We believe that HJu* fnnt industry is really in its rib fancy, especially as to thiscorn rmaturity. The people of America heijHßt beginning to appreciate tthe inscious Georgia poach and itheumillions of people of the great '.citaes of this country are becom ing j. greater peach eaters every vyear. The cities with the con 4itantiy increasing population will year* by year buy more und more, tfnaSb of all kinds, particularly! they can get such fruit as •the IKJberta peach. W** believe oiioi Umt. in less than five years, 2Kfurppe will be as profitable a ■snarket for (leorgia fruit as Amer ica. IThe market therefore iH one ©f"aHt proportions, it is praeti allyinnlimited.

Griffin, Ga., August 4.—At the reunion held at Concord last week of the Griffin News and Sun cor respondents the most important event of the day was the address by Hon. T. W. Hardwick, recent ly elected to congress from the tenth district. The address was along the general line of the argu ments made during the congres sional contest, and was eagerly listened to by an audience of more than 1,000 people. The speaker was frequently interrupted, while his hearers gave enthusiastic ap proval as the strongest points in the address were brought out. Mr. Hardwick proclaimed and advocated the doctrine of state rights, which he said is still un challenged except on the one sub ject of prescribing qualifications for voters. He attacked the jus tice of this exception, and de clared that as jurors who must pass upon the lives, liberty and properties of their fellow men were required to be upright and honest, so ought also those who are entrusted with the ballot, and the hopelessly ignorant and con i’ issedly venal should be excluded. He charged that the fourteenth 'and fifteenth amendments were I adopted by the republican party j when the south was prostrate, in Order to perpetuate its power. He i claimed that the great mass of the people of the north have , never consented by popular vote to ne gro suffrage, and that wherever the question has been presented negro suffrage has been voted down, and that In* believed the time would soon come for a suc cessful uppeal to the people of the north and west for the burden to be lifted from the shoulders of the south. The speaker stated that the real danger of the south was apparent in statistics from the seven south ern states —(leorgia, Alabama, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia—showing that the negroes constitute 48. R per cent of the voting population, and that of this number more t lmn one-half are totally illiterate. He charged that education has not helped the negro, and will not solve the race problem : and added that the younger generation in the south are not as patient and for bearing with the negroes as were their fathers. He stated that the legislature of Georgia in twice de clining to take vigorous action on the race question failed to meet the wishes of the people of the state. “The effective franchise," af firmed Mr. Hardwick, “ought to be entrusted only to those of our people who are qualified by intel ligence and virtue to exercise it properly, and the proposition can not be disputed that the right to vote is an inherent, absolute and natural right which exists for the benefit of the individual, but one which is conferred for the benefit of, and solely in the interest of, the state.” He defended the action of those southern states who seek to pro tect the illiterate whites, while disfranchising the negro, on the ground that the whites had made and fought for the country and been impoverished as the result of their efforts; that the Anglo- Saxon is the only race capable by heredity and training of maintain ing self-government.

The people of Barnesville and section will be interested in the reports being circulated to the ef fect that the Central of Georgia Railway properties are to pass in to Other hands soon. The follow ing specials bear on the subject: New York, August 4.—The Eve ning Post says: “Very positive statements were made today that negotiations are pending for the acquisition of the Central of Geor gia system by the St. Louis and San Francisco, which last w r eek .secured the Chicago and Eastern Illinois, and which during the last year has made notable prog ress in expansion. “These reports were practically confirmed, so far as regards the statement that negotiations w r ith this purpose in view have been under way. They are not, how ever, completed. “From the same authority a denial was obtained of the reports of a grand merger of all southern railroads.” New York, August 4.—Reports that the St. Louis and San Fran cisco road is negotiating for con trol of the Central of Georgia sys tem are scouted by a leading rep resentative of the last named property. “This is the first 1 have heard of any such plan,” said this di rector. “There is nothing to jus tify it, and all talk that the Sou thern railway controls the Central of Georgia is utter nonsense. The Southern has no direct or indirect interest in that property, which is owned by the bondholders, who in turn are represented by the vo ting trustees.” President Yoakum, of the St. Louis and San Francisco road, de clined to affirm or deny the report or discuss it in any way. The St. Louis and San Francis co road, it is understood, has se cured control of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois, and it is said to he branching out in other direc tions. Macon, Ga., August 4.—S. R. Jaques, of this city, one of the the directors of the Central of Georgia railroad, to whom the New York Associated Press dis patches relating to the alleged absorption of the Central system by the ’Frisco were referred, said: “I know nothing of such a deal. The information from the Associ ated Press is the first intimation 1 have received.” Savannah, Ga., August 4. President John M. Eagan, of the Central of Georgia railway, said tonight that he knew absolutely nothing about any negotiations on the part of the St. Louis and Bfdi 1 H Jr EVES SPEAK Volumes, at times, of woman's happi ness or misery. The dull, sunken eye, with its dark circles almost surely speaks of womanly ill-health, and its attendant suffering.
