THE SECOND DISTRICT.
Orcr in the second district Mr. O. B.
Stevens has “got the drop on the boys”
and is carrying things in the Democratic
primaries his own way. He is opposed
by the third party section of the alliance
and by the straightout Democrats, but
he aj^ara to be carrying the Ocala idea
on one shoulder and democratic rotes on
the other very successfully. There are
lively times ahead in the second. We
wouldn't be surprised to Hon. B. E.
Russell, the gifted and versatile Ben, go
“agin” him in the convention, and fail
ing there, run an independent schedule
for Congress.

Good churches and schools cannot be

farming o|»erations cannot Ik* attained
without good thoroughfares for reaching
the markets. A country cannot he run

without the agency of good roads. Well
made thoroughfares enhance the value
of adjacent property more than double.
The requisites of good roads are first,
directness ; second, easy gradients; third,
good drainage; fourth, a hard durable
surface material. No county possesses
greater advantages for all these requisi
tes, than Ware county. * )ur county is
comparatively level, ami roads might l*e

The convention to nominate a candi
date for Congress from the new Eleventh

house in this city la*t Wednesday at 11
o’clock.
A magnificent life-site crayon of the
distinguished Geoigian who is to lead
the Democratic forces oT this district to
ictory in Novemlier next, was displayed
onspiciiously upon the wall of the build
ing, and it seemed so real and life-like
that the delegate* felt almost as if they
stood in the living presence of the hon-
>red leader.

nounced that the first business was to

The committee on credentials made

ing the majority rule, and recommend
ing as |iermanent chairman Judge M.
L. Mershon, of Glyiiu, and as Secreta

A motion to proceed with the nomi

ed to Glynn; and Brooks, the home
county of the gallant Turner, announced
that she would yield to Glynn aud al
low that county to place her favorite
j son before the convention.
At this |Miint editor McCook, of the
i "'ill Brunswick Time*, arose to make.the
limous nominating iqieech. He was at his best
pposi- j an ,| itpoke eloquently ami enthusiasti
cally for Mr. Turner. He said that
Glynn had many gifted sons in her bor
ders who would represent the new dis
able and creditably, but recogniz
ing the ability of the gifted Georgian,
the Democracy of Glynn had looked to
the extreme western county in the dis
et for a man to represent the jteopie

glowing tribute to Mr. Turner as a cit
izen, soldier aud statesman—a tuau
above reproach, pure minded, noble and
honest in the private walks of life and
the equal of the most brilliant men in
Congress—just the man to go among the
people and teach them pure Democratic
gospel. He said with Mr. Turner a*

At the first uiention of Mr. Turner’s

A tube conclusion of Mr. McCook’s

The applause was almost deafening,

On motion of editor McCook the rules
