Nearly 100 car loads of melons have

Dt. 11. 11. Cary, fish commissioner of
Georgia, is on a tour of inspection to

The New York Suu emits the fol
lowing scintillation on the political sta
tus in this State:
“ ‘Huzzali for Bill Atkinson;
Ami shout it down the lines;
Tiie Little (lauie Cock of Georgia
Will whip the Shanghai Hines.’
The Augusta Herald says that all
democrats will vote for Mr. Atkinson,
whether they desired General Evans’
nomination or not. Those who pro
fessed to be democrats, but who won’t
vote for Atkinson now, fooled them
selves. They never were democrats.
Tom Watson and his fellow agita
tors are speculating just now on the
probability of carrying Georgia with a
Republican-Populist combine in the

Columbus Enquirer Sun : Many es
timates are being made of the majority
by which Colonel Atkinsou will defeai
Judge Ilines for Governor in October.
The lowest estimate we have seen from
any Dent cratic source is 25,000. We
regret to see that 60 good an authority
as Steve Clay only sees a majority of
between -40,000 and 50,000. The En.
tpiirer Sun will not be satisfied w’itli less
than 75,000. Two years ago I)r. Peek
was easily defeated by a majority of
70,000. Believing, as we do, that the
Populist movement in Georgia is even
weaker than it was two years ago, we
do not think our figures too high.
They will be full low if the Democrats
of Georgia do their whole duty.
Col. Ham of the Gainesville Eagle
has this to say of Maj. Bacon’s speech :
We couldn’t begin to repeat his
masterly effort. It was soundly Demo
cratic, a thorough discussion of the
great issues now affecting the people
of thiscountry. Enlivened with sparks
of bright wit aud quick, apt repartee, it
was a speech to wiu golden opinions of
his hearers. And he created a splen
did impression, as was evinced by the
frequent and lasting storms of applause
For an hour aud a half he held the
closest attention of the large gathering,
having made one of the grandest pleas
for loyalty to the party and most
statesmanlike defenses of its principles
ever heard in this section.
The race for Congress is red hot in
the Fifth district. Hon. M. A. Cand

make th 6 race on that line, and will re

Col. Liviugston says, however, that he

of Col. Candler in the race, aud he is

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. Hall's Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a con
stitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood aud mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature iu do

CHICAGO'S OttMAT STRIKE.
The Crisis Thought to Have Passed,
and Business Resuming.
It is thought that the crisis in the
American Railway Union strike, the
largest and most serious ever known in
the l’..ited States, resulting in great
destruction to pioperty in Chicago and
other places, and even life itself, is
about passed.
The striko originated against the
I’ullman car company, hut has involved
nearly all the railroads of the north
west. Traffic has been blocked, aud
where United States regulars or the
state militia attempted to move trains,
strife and bloodshed have resulted. In
Chicago alone over two million dollars
worth of property has been destroyed
in the wrecking of cars of freight aud
the burning of buildings.
Last Sunday night President Cleve
land issued a proclamation, the import
of which was that the riotous mob would
be (ired upon if the lawlessness was not
stopped. This bad a quieting effect,
and things have been growing better
ever since. The following dispatch to
the daily papers of yesterday morning
is the latest from the scene of action :
Chicago, July 11.—Peace and quiet
were mainta'ued throughout the city
today. It was a welcome relief from
the tension of yesterday and especially
in view of the fears that had been en
tertaiued that a general tie up, ordered
by the various trades, might result in
filling the streets with sympathetic
strikers and serious disorder being pos
sibly p’Ovokel. There were fewer
white ribbons to be seen today and ten
times as many patriotic emblems.
Many banks and other institutions and
buildings, not content with hoisting the
stars and stripes on their roofs, deco
rated their ground floors with flags.
Militaiy encampments on the lake front
and at the government building attrac
ted large crowds, but they were emi
nently good natured and chatted social
ly and with heartiness with the regu
lais that were off duty aud mixed with
them.
At the stock yards the blockades
were effectually broken. Business was
resumed on every road aud all was hus
tle and bustle iu the miles of pens and
along the tracks. The first incoming
caitle train in two weeks steamed into
the yard at daybreak, and at 4 o’clock
forty cars of live stock were br tight in
by the Burlington and (Quincy, forty
by the Northwestern and fifty by the
Suita Ke The mMitary was on guard
it every point, but there was no need
fun its service. For the twenty four
hours ending this evening not a single
fire or police alarm was turned in from
the district, and Capt. O'Neill, who is
iu command of the district, officially re
ports that the police are in full com
mand of the situation and there appears
no further use for the troops. At the
same time, any attempt to withdraw
the latter will be met bv general op
position from the packers and other
business men, and even if the present
condition should continue for several
days to come it was regarded necessary
to hold the tniliti.ry in reserve.
When the lederal grand jury ad
jourued this afternoon after two ses
sious occupying in the aggregate about
six hours, District Attorney Milchrist
was handed fifteen indictments that
represented the woik of the afternoon
session. Judge Grosscup, however,
had left the court for the day and the
indictments cannot, therefore, be for
mally returned till tomorrow. The
names of the defendants were not made
public, but it is stated that no promi
nent labor leaders were involved, but
that the bills affected the men arrested
at Blue Island and at points on the
Ran Handle, Lake Shore and Rock
Island tracks who participated iu the
disorder of last week.
Some seventeen men concerned in
the burning of the cars aud stoning of
trains in the earlier part af the trouble
were brought iu by deputy marshals
and an escort of military during the
day, but most of the number were re
leased on small bail.
United States Marshal Arnold today
reduced his force to 300 men. These
were withdrawn from outlying poiuts
where no further uecessity exists for
their service. The situation touight is
that of au armed truce. The railroad
tuen by watching every move of their
adversaries say they are satisfied with
the si uation and their p 1 icy is abso
lutelv “no surrender.” The union of
| fleers and directors also profess to be
1 equally satisfi d and adopt the same
motto. Each side is waiting for the
other one’s move, while the public also
is waiting and wondering how long this
condition of affairs can possibly cou
tiuue. Meanwhile, with a sufficient
force of military to command the situ
ation, iiumuuity Rom serious riot or
disorder may be regarded as absolutely
assured.
Few medicines have held their
ground so successfully as Ayer’s Cher
ry Pectoral. During the past fifty
years, it has been tbe most popular ol
all cough-cures and the demand for it
to day is greater than ever before. ■
Prompt to act and sure to cure.
We ate having a fine rain t< *day, j
tiionduy, w hereof the gra-s, as well as
other crops and the farmers seem
proud.
The gcueral meeting last week was
well attended aud general good feeling I
prevailed. I noticed in attendance on
the 4th Messrs. .1. P. Copeland, Q- A.
Dickson, M. B. Rodgers, Rev. Mr.
Bledsoe and Dr. D. W. Scott of Mc-
Donough. An able sermon at 11
o'clock that day by Rev. Mr. O'Kelley |
of Griffin captivated til * entire emigre j
gation.
George Guest, a 1!) year old son of 1
Thomas Guest, is lying critically ill at
his home near Peeksville.
I learn that Uncle Sammy Cleve- j
laud and a Miss Bowden, daughter of i
Mr. John Bowden, are also under 'he
care of physicians.
In the continued illness of Mrs. Lula
Price, which is as confining to her hus
band and children as it is painful to
herself, they have the sympathy of the
community.
Mr. 1). A. Castellaw is reported as
having the best corn and cotton in this
neighborhood, but I have not seen it.
Uncle Eli Copeland dotes on his hot
tom corn, hut it is rather late and is
not yet what it may be later. .
Differences between friends should
always be settled by concessions and
compromise, hut no compromise should
ever be made with enemies.
The third party is ari avowed enemy
of the democratic party, and demo
crats should not compromise with it. 1
am opposed to sending Col. Whitfield
to congress, because he claims to be a
Democrat and at the samfe time opposes
the Democratic administration, thus
strengthening the hands of third par
tyites and soreheads who are striving
to stretch the democratic platform so
as to cover all the third party demands.
I am in favor of Mr. Cabaniss, be
cause he is uncompromising, faithful to
duty, already has the harness on, and is
justly entitled to another term.
So far as ability and sound democra
cy is concerned, I suppose Judge Bart
lett is all right, hut I am inclined to
think that Macon thinks she is “big
sis,” and has prepared her a bucket big
enough to hold all the plums.
Siuce Hampton district’s choice has
refuted to enter the legislative race for
the sake of harmony, why did another
Hampton man hop in for the sake of
division P Let the county primary
answer the question, as it doubtless
will answer it. Ruual.

We regret to chronicle the death of
Mr. Tom Hays which occurred at his
home near Mt Bethel last Thursday,
after a short illness vith pueumon'a
He leaves a wife aud several small
children, tog- ther with a host of friends
and relatives to mourn his death. His
remains were interred in the cemetery
at Mt. Bethel the following day, after
an appropriate fuueral service bv Rev.
J. A. Thurman of McDonough.
Friday before the fourth Sunday it)

Moses, the little son of Mr. and Mrs.
John Rivers, died on the 29th ult. and

“Rural” seems to want to get up a
controversy with somebody on politics.
Well, if you wanted to discuss that
question very bad, why didu’t you come
out from among the bushes and let
yourself be kuown wlieu Mr. Wise
asked you to come out ? If you are a
democrat it is all right with me. 1
have nothing to say against it, and I
dou’t propose to get up any controver

A Strong Endorsement.
The Columbus Enquirer-Sun gives
this strong endorsement to the present j
repres. illative from this district :
“Li the sixth district, the sentiment
in l.ivor of the reuoiniiia'.ion of Cou- j
gri-ssinaii Tom Cabaniss -eems to be j
steadily growing. I line are uiauy
go. >1 reasons why he should be re
tuned All his life he has been an
active and enthusiastic Democrat, and
he has an nnhroßen r.-c >rd ol faithful
service to the party, fu his emigres
sional career, lie has been true to its
principles, and lias been honest and
brave in voting bis convictions. We
fail to see any good reason why the
Democrats of the sixth should wish to
turn him down now for a new man.
Tom Cabaniss has made a good con
gressman. lie has stood firm and
steadfast for what he conceived to be
true Democracy, where others have
wobbled. He will probably be sent
back.”
