THE BAKNESVILLE GAZETTE THURSDAY AUG. 1 6, I 894 IS ©ROWING.” The salary of the Barnestille Post-master lias been increased SIOO because of au ir crease of the busi ness of the post office, while nearly all the other Georgia offices have decreased. This is an evidence of the general prosperity. A KNITTING Mill Hast just been organized, the con tract for the brick building has been let, andj. the.* mill will soon be at work. AN Oil Mill, By Slocum A Howard has f becn bought, and it will be in operation for the coming season. NEW RESIDENCES. Quite a number of new residences are being erected, new families are moving here, general business inter ests arc prosperous, new enterprises are being contemplated, and | "Bartlesville is Growing !” Atlanta iB always lucky. She haa just gotten #200,000 from the gov ernment for her great exposition. We want to see 100.000 majority for Atkiuson and his ticket, and we believe this majority can be secured.j Few judges have made as good a record in so short a time as Judge John L. Hardeman of the Macon cir cuit. The passage of |tbe tariff bill will have a tenden"y to Kettle business, which will be very advantageous to the country. There is every indication that pros perous times are ahead. Ttie fall season will open up well and it will continue to improve. The Dixie Inter-state Fair at Ma con, Ga., bids fair to be by far the most successful fair held in the Cen tral City in many years. Hon. Charles L. Moses was re nominated for Congress at Warm Springs last week on the 317th. bal lot. A warm fight was made against him. The press of Georgia is saying many complimentary things about finn. Charles L. Bartlett, who will be the next congressman from the Sixth district. Populists said Kolb would carry Alabama by 40,000. Oateß carried it by 20,000, making a difference of 06,000 in the populists estimate. They will miss it futher than this in Georgia. Why should the friends of Gen Evans desert him in his defeat ? They were for him iu the nomination, and they should stand by him now. as he advocates the election of Atkin aen and the democratic ticket. It seems to us that any former supporters of Gen. Evaus for govern or, will be false to him. if they now forsake the party to which he is giv - ing hiß earnest and active support "Why desert him now f The statement has been made that Mr. Cleveland would probably give Hon. T. B. Cabaniss some good posi tion. We hope this will be done. Mr. Cabaniss ih one of the truest democrats and bravest men in Geor gia. Hon. Bobert L. Berner has been made chairman of the state democra tic executive commiitee, and as such be will render effective service to the party. Few men in the party in Georgia have more influence aud few are better qualified lor leadership. This was a splendid selection. The populists free school book acheme will cost about three quar ters of a luilhou dollars. This sum taken from the scho. 1 fund, would leave a very sin&ll sum for teachers and other expenses. It would prob ably bieak up the public schools of ibe state, unless taxes were greatly increased. The Democrats of Bibb county, in a primary held Thursdty. nomiua ted as candidates for the lower lower House of the Legislature Hon. Hope Polhil, Hon. Rob ert Hodges, and Hon. John T. Boifeuillet. Hon. N. E. Harris was nominated for the Senate without opposition. POPULISTS AND NEGROES. In the recent populist primary in Pike county, it is estimated ou good foundation that twice as many ne groes as whites voted. No questions or conditions were required and when a negro presented himself or was presented by someone else, his vote was put in the box, and it is intimated tbat it was done not only without regard to race lines, but without regard to county lines. For tunately for the two white candidates, the negroes did not run one of their race, for if they had, the two white candidates would have been buried under black ballots. We do not doubt but that in fu ture populist primaries the negroef will have a full sit of candidates. It will be only a natural result. THE NEW TARIFF RILL. The National house of represen tatives by an almost unanimous dem ocratic vote accepted the senate tar iff bill Monday, wuich chiefly ends the great tariff fight. The bill as amended by the senate is not so ac ceptable as the bill which first pass ed the house, but is far better than the McKinlv law. Some of the fea tures of the new bill are free wool, free lumber, free hemp, and the re duction in the general schedules. The duties in the chemical sched ule of (he senate bill were reduced from 30 per cent, to 24 per cent., earth and earthenware from 51 per cent. to 35 per cent, metal and me tal manufactures from 58 to 30 per cent, wood and wood manufactures from 31 to 23 per cent., tobacco from 117 to 105 per cent, hemp and jute from 45 to 41 per cent., wool and woolens from 98 to 48 per ceot., silk and silk manufactures from 53 to 40 psr cent, pulp aud paper from 23 to 20 per cent., sundries from 20 to 24 per cent. Total redaction from 58 par cent to 38 per cent. The senate bill leaves a duty on sugar, iron ore, coal and barbed wire but immediately after accept ing the senate bill, the bouse at once by separate bills put these arti cle on tiie free list. The sugar schedule in the senate bill is very unsatisfactory to demo crats, but even this gives the trust one third less than under the Mc- Kinley law. It is not known what Mr. Cleve land will do. He may sign or veto the bill, or he may allow it to b - come a law without his signature. It is uoc what the democratic party wanted, but it is a great step to ward tariff reform, and as it will probably largely settle the question, it will be very beneficial to ibe busi ness interests of the country. SOMETHING ABOUT PIKE COUNTY. “Twenty delegates were sent to the democratic state convention to represent the 400 votes cast for Mr. Atkinson in the primary. Two tbous and three hundred other votes were not represented in that convention and they will be cast for Judge Hines ” The above is from The Daily Press, Mr. Watson’s populibt daily. Accord ing to populists it is just simply im possible for anything except ttie pur est truth to get into the columns of this paper. Whatever it points, the populists accept as law nud gospel, without question nud without inves tigation. To them it is truth, wheth er it is truth or not. Yet right here iu this short paragraph, a plain, uc varnished, inexcusable misstatement is made. 823 votes, white votes nt that, were polled at the primary. It is true that Mr. Atkisuon was a little be hind liis ticket, but quite a number of complimentary votes were given uen. Evans, reducing Mr, Atkinson’s total. Many who did not vota for Mr. Atkinson iu the primary will plaukdown Atkinson ballots when the general election makes it an issue between democracy and populism, between Atkinson and Hines. Hut aside from this, Mr. Atkmson got 589 votes in the primary, or 189 more than the Press says he got. The Press says 400, and the tally sheet says 589. If it will accomplish its purpose to make such misstatement siu tue face of the plain, indisputable facts, us the record shows them, the Press is welcome to all it can make ou Pike county. But Redding, Bartlett, Atkinson, and every democratic candi date. from coroner up, will carry the county, and by a big majority, from 500 up to 1000. The “two thousaud three buudred other votes” which Mr. Hines is to get must be uiauufac.ured, if he gets them iu Pike couuty. STRAW RIDE AND PARTY. On Tuesday uight quite a mini ber went out to the home of Misses Milner two miles iu the country, to a party. Wagons md buggies suffi cient to haul the crowd wers secured, and those who went eujoyed both the ride and the party. It wrae quite a pleasant affair. More than twenty couples went out Brings comfort and improvement and tends to personal enjoyment when rightly used.

SIOO BEWARD, SIOO. The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh.

The rams of a week or more ago kept them pretty wet for some time, but the recent hot sunshine has been the very life of cotton and core. It was once thought that crops were materially injured, but farmers now say that but little dam age was done by the wet weather. Fanners are more hopeful now than ever. It is hoped that every thing will be favorable from now on , for the crops will soon be made.
