Bate red at the Poet Office, McDonough, Georgia, a* tooond claas mail matter. C. M. SPEER, Editor. OUR NOMINEES. We are banking on the following Democratic rooster*, who have beeu nominated by the Democracy of Geor g's : W. J. NORTHEN, Governor, PHILLIP COOK, Secretary of State. R. U. HARDEMAN, Treasurer, W. A, WRIGHT, Comp’t. Gen’h, GEO. N. LESTER, Att’y. Gen’l. R. T. NIBBETT, Com. Ag.. L. F. LIVINGSTON, Congress, 0. T. ZACHRY, State Senate. W. 11. H. PEEK, legislature. N. A.

The Alliance Democracy is unques tionably in the saddle, and yet there are scores of good Alliancemen who are afraid that Gen. Gordon will go to the United States Senate over the wishes of the Alliance. Why is it necessary for the Alliance to indulge in idle fears when they hold the legis lature by an overwhelming majority ? Up to date there have been 110 nomi nations for the legislature, out of this nnmlier 91 are Alliancemen, and it is safe to predict that the Alliance will hold its own in the same rattio until all of the counties have made their nomi nations. The Senate stands very near ly as strong for the Alliance as the house, there having been 34 nomina tions, 23 of whom are Alliancemen. With this formidable array of Alli ancemen to confront him, it would seem that Gen. Gordon would have to clean up.his anti-Alliance record and explain to the satisfaction of the farm ers why he is against the sub-treasury hill. And while he is undertaking to make clear a besmirched iccord they would like to know how much stock he owns in the Okefetiokee land grab ; and how it is he could mortgage a $5,000 plantation in Wortli couuty to Inman & Co. for SOO,OOO. Inman & Co. are the same parlies who bought the Geor gia State bonds and netted the precise sum of $60,000 on this purchase. The law says that these bonds shall be sold to the highest bidder, at the treasurer’s oirice in Atlanta, but it seems that Gen. Gordon hied himself to New York and sold them to Inman & Co. at a private sale. Was it Gen. Gor don's duty to take this matter in his own hands ? If the sale had been properly made it seems that Georgia would have made $60,000 instead of Inman & Co. pocketing that amount. It is bad policy for people to indulge in ytolitical luxuries. Gen. Gordon is a luxury entirely too rich for the blood of the average tax payer, lie has de clared that he could not live on $6,000 a year, a senator’s salary, and in conse ijuence he resigned and took a $26,000 attorneyship for a railroad, lie says now he is very poor and wants to be returned to the senate. Why, it would be a hardship on the good man to send him there, he can not live on the sal ary. Let the people send farmer Livings ton who has never received a big sal ary and could live on it bhould they send him. If they should send farm er Livingston they would have an ad vocate in the senate who would look after the interest of the common peo ple and not exclusively after the inter est of the plutocrats.

The Forty - Itale- to - the - Mule Man Written Up lu Style. Mr. Claude N. Bennett, of the At lanta Journal, was among the visitors to the late agricultural convention, and while there went out to the famous George VV. Truitt farm. After de scribing the buildings, orchards and surroundings of the farm at length, he says of the farm proper: Mr. Truitt says he is going to make 100 bales of cotton on 80 acres worked by two mules. And these 80 acres were the principal attraction to the convention delegates, and not one of them denied the fairness of Mr. Tru itt's estimate. The land is gray, with clay subsoil. Several years ago it was painfully poor. It has been built up by high fertiliza tion and good working. List year it was planted in oats. It was well broken with a cutaway harrow’ in De cember, It was broken twice in Jan uary with a harrow, the second plow ing being squarely across the first. Then the rows were laid off, four and a half feet wide, with a scooter, followed by a Johnson wing. On 40 acres 50 bushels of cotton seed were broadcast to the acre, and 500 pounds of Scott’s best acid put in the drill. On the other 40 acres, 500 pounds of Gossip ium to the acre wore put in the drill and list furrows. The cotton is thirty inches apart in the di ill. Most of it was chopped out by running a thir,.y inch scrape directly across the rows. This gives the rows a beautiful regu larity and enables them to he plowed in two diametrical-opposite directions. (Think about this, its a mighty good scheme.) The cottou was topped about the 10th of July. It was plowed five times and hoed twice. Mr. Truitt uses level culture. lie breaks the laud deep, cultivates flat and very shallow. Ills lands are all ter raced and a home made system of un derground drainage—compounded out of a ditch, some logs and a plentiful of mother earth—is frequently used. By these precautions, cotton is now growing as high as your head where, a few years ago, gtilleys would hide all the animals in Grant park. Mr, Truitt says this laud is one hun dred per cent better than it was six years ago, The cotton is called Tru itt's I’iemium .Prolific. The seed has been selected by sending careful hands over the fields to pick out, the finest bolls. This plan has been carried out so persistently that now a small boiled stalk cannot he found. Forty averago bolls of this cotton will make a pound. More than three hundred 1 Kills were counted on one stalk. We found bolls which measured 74 inches round one way and !> inches around the other— looking very much like a green turkey egg. There were some single stalks seven feet tall, niue feet in diameter, shading 66 square feet of ground. This cotton looker! like a swamp, and at a distance appeared too thick for en trance. A abort man would get lost in it; a timid man would not venture in it at all; au incredulous man would never believe it was there unless lie saw it; a wise man, if ho was a farmer, would go to work and see if he couldn’t grow cotton just like it. We went over the land where, a few years ago, Mr. Truitt gathered Ilf teen bales from five acres, and when wo reached the one acre on which he raised 2.200 pounds of lint, we decided that the ground was holy, and built thereon a monument of rocks to the best yield of cottou that the world has seen. The cotton on this laud the present season had to be planted over iu May, there fore it will hardly make over two and a half bales to the acre. The two mules which cultivated these eighty acres are beautiful dark bay's ; one weighing 060 pounds, and the other weighiug 062 pounds. Can’t George Truitt raise anything but cotton, do you ask? 1 have already said that he had corn enough to last until Christmss. Last year with this 1,002 pounds of mule flesh he made: 65 bale* of cotton. 760 bushels of corn. 1,200 bushels of oats. Quantities of other produce, the crop yielding him $1,250 above all expenses. This year he has ten acres of corn ; which will make him 500 bushels. The land was kept in fine condition till May 15th. by a cutaway harrow pulled by oxen. Then the corn was planted. It is strong bottom land. It has taken these two mules less than four days to give it all the plowing necessary. The corn is of the red cob variety. Mr. T mitt lias twelve big guinea I hogs, which have been raised on butter milk, aud will net him above 2,000 pounds of meat. On his two-mule farm he employs five hands and pays them $lO a month each As good a farmer a< he is can not put up with a sorry hand. He has three tenants who will make altogether fifty hales of cottou aud plenty of corn. They used ten tons of guano. George W. Truitt started to farming even with the world. He has dug shout above the necessities of j a living out of the ground and be i stands to-day as au example to his county and his state worthy of the closest imitation. COL. I.KOMDAB F.

Gordon was invited to address the members. He did so. and among other things said: ‘ While I am in the fullest sympathy with the great object in view, I wish to say in all candor that I cannot en dorse the specific sub-treasury bill, be -1 cause Ido not believe even if it could be passed that it would bring the relief you seek. The endorsement of specif ic bills is what yon need. You need j first to win the victory for reform by general agitation on all lines, and then j when the general battle is won let all i the combined wisdom of the friends of the cause be called into requisition for perfecting the best measure for the purpose. For all these great princi ples, I shall continue to do battle in the future as in the past; but I should be untrue to you if I did not tell yon, frankly, that if you insist on denounc ing every man as your enemy who will not endorse a specific bill, drive from your ranks many earnest friends and eren your brethren of Missouri who refuse to endorse it, you cannot afford to pin your destinies to any one pro gramme or cast all your future ip any oue specific boat, which may- lie engulf ed aud lost. I did not ask you or youi representatives to endorse a plan for increasing the currency which I might I think withonta Haw, because you might find that F was mistaken. I bis ques tion of finance ns the most ohtsruse and j difficult of of the piublcm* of human government, and all you need and all you ought to ask is that your represen tatives shall battle for the great priori- ! pie and secure it by the best possible measure the combined wisdom of all can construct. Are you going to se cure your great reforms, by saying to the friends of ihose reforms, we do not want your help unless you agree with the exact programme we have laid down ? Are you going to recruit a great army from all-over this continent | by requiring that every soldier in your ranks glial 1 measure exactly six feet two inches by the vard siick and weigh precisely pounds, no more and no iess ? I* that generalship ?” These declaraiions caused many pre dictions as to the result they would have upon the Governor’s candidacy for the U. S. Senate. Chapter 1 : Weak, tired, no appe tite.

Here, then, is the wage earners’ in dictment of the wages system : Every man has a right, because he has a duty, to earn his daily bread by the sweat of his brow. The wage sys tem denies this right to myriads of willing workers. In America, the workingman’s Eldorado, nearly 1,000,- 000 willing workers were thrown out of employment in 1885. “Enforced idleness is the Englishman's hell.” That system cannot lie right which turns 1,000,000 of willing workers in rich America into this hell and locks the door against them. Every man has a right to the product of his own industry ; under the wage system the greater part of the products of industry goes into the hands of the few tool owners. The wealth of this country lias increased during the last quarter century from fourteen billion to forty four billion. A careful statistician es timates that the wages of 5,500,000 unskilled laborers were in 1884 less than S2OO a year, while the average wages of workmen engaged in manu factures, including skilled laborers, was hut $346 a year. That system cannot be right which gives the profits of industry to the few and compels the many to live always praying, Gije us this day our daily bread. Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott in Forum. We predict for Cheatham’s Taste less Chill Touic an unprecedented suc cess. The well known reputation of its manufactures is, of itself, an ample guarantee of its superior merits. Ini. Tiie Republicans are mad because they could not pass the force bill at this session, and, in consequence, ltave determined to have some fun among themselves by having a few fisticuffs, and using some plantion manners to wards each other. Boss Reed doubt less enjoys the change of programme as he nearly worn himself out hull dozing Democrats. A few very pointed reasons why Cheatham's Tasteless Chill Tonic will be a great success. It is absolutely free lrom all duletcrious ingredients; as pleasant to the taste as honey : an absolute and never-failing cure for all malarious complaints. Guaianteed to cure. What more could you ask ? lm. Arkansas has beeu pretty badly tieated by the Republicans in the past, but at the recent state elections she gave a democratic majority of 30,000, showing that she does not approve of tiie Republican way of doing business. She will return Breckenridge to Con gress by a majority, too, that will even make thievish Mr. Reed blush when he undertakes to unseat him next ses sion. Summer cometh on apace, and soon will the granger be engaged in his an nual struggle with chills and fever. Take time by the forelock and lav in a supply of Cheatham’s Tasteless Chill Tonic that your days in the land may lie many. 1 m. The Confederate soldiers who fell before Jonesboro, and whe are buried there, will have marble head stoues. This is a just recognition of the last resting place of our noble dead.
