GEORGIA’S CONTENTION.
OUR MACON LETTER.
Maoox, Ga., August, 1892.
After a great deal of speaking by the
candidates and other prominent citizens.
Bibb'* primary took place on the 4th
instead of the 8th as heretofore men
tioned. The aucceaaful candidates are
Rob’t Hodge*, Hon. A. O. Bacon and
Jno. T. Boifeiullet. Both of the latter
gentlemen have been to tbe legislature
l*efore. Hon. A. O. Bacon is widely
known as a man of |>owrrful intellect,
and as a most successful and distinguished
lawyer. He i* also a man whose honor
ami integrity are almve reproach, am
motig politician* he stand* purr and
high-minded.
Jno. T. Boifeiullet is one of the brainy
young men of the state and ha* alway*
held positions of honor and trust. Hi
is editor-in-chief of the Macon Telegraph
and every man in the city is his friend.
Rob’t. Hodge* led the vote hy a large
majority which was quite surprising
shirring the fact that he i* only twenty*
f«»ur year* of age, ami that his competi
tor* were men of wide experience
popularity.
Tbe opera, "Uhinies of Normandy,”
will be played to-night by the Macon
Musical Association. Several prominent
society young ladies are in the cast, and

Rev. E. W. Warren, a proudnent
Baptist minister, has tieen seriously ill
for the past week, but is to-day reported
out of danger. He is quite an aged gen
tleman ami much beloved, having been
f»a*tor of the First Baptist church of this
city for more than twenty-five years. A
year ago I»r. Warreu resigurd the |*as-
torale of this church to accept the same
position in the Tat nail Square Baptist
church, where the lalsirs are lighe
better suited to Id* declining years.
Macon paper* of recent date chronicle
the marriage of Miss Ibs«alie Holmes, of
Brunswick, to Mr. Toomer. of Waycross.
Miss Holmes is a former Maconite and
can number her friends hv the score in
this city. Besides her exquisite lieautv
of face, she (tosses**** a refine*! and gentle
nature that will not fail to win for her

These long summer days afford so
many leisure hours which are literally
idled away in luxurious laziness that oue
(Hwitively gets tired of doing mtthiug,
and l.sik* alsmt for some amusement.
There is always a scrap of unfinidird
fancy work alsait the house that cau lie
completed ami put in place as "a thing
of lieauty,” and if it is not a tidy may
lie a joy for awhile. But fancy work
ami the everlasting stitches soon get
tiresome au<l the only other resort is to
find something to read. When you make
the discovery that you have read every

No liiglier tribute conhl lie |>aid to the
high character ami distinguished services
of Georgia state Ionise offi(*er* than the
uiianiinoii* uouiiiiation of them all with
•me rxee|4ion on Wednesday. That ex
ception was the case of the attorney-
general, who withdrew, and Hou. J. M.
Terrell was nominated for that itosition.
The platform is a* follows:
The democratic (arty of Georgia, in
convention assembled, pledges anew its
loyalty aiol devotion to the time-honored
principles of denoH-racy as promulgated
and practiced hy the father* aiol sages
of the party. It iudorsos the platform
adopted by the democratic national con
vention of 1 Sill! and pledges its united
ami enthusiastic supfiort to its nominees,
Grover Cleveland and A. E. Stevenson.
It commend* to tbe people of Georgia
the administration of Gov. Northeu
and the state house officer*, whose most
honest an«| economical management of
the affairs of the state have conduced sc
largely- to the progress ami prosperity «l
the people.

"Bring y«air job work to this office,
secure g****l work, good material, and
pay a living price.—Headlight.
" ‘Cut-throat’ prices* for job printing
generally insures poor work and flimsy
material.”—Headlight.
This trank admission confirms our ob
servation and account* fully for the "cut
throat” price* maintained against us for
several month*. We have patiently
w aited and suffered business to be taken
from us by a system of underbidding
made pimdble it is shown-by the use of
inferior material and inferior work, un
til we see no reomrse but to furnish good
material and skilled labor at Ick* than
"living prices” f«*c a lime at least and
puodbly for all future time. We have
oar office well fitted f»*r this sort of com
petition and propose to do the work of
thia section if we have to do it for noth
ing, therefore following the method
which we admit to be uubusiness like,
but which we have been forced to in
- self-defence. We ask every one who has
job work to do to get prices at other
offices and we will do the work better
than others, on better material and at
lower prices. We pay good prices for
superior workmanship, we have f**ur
presses ran by steam. We have added
recently over a thousand dollars worth
of new type and auchinery, and propose
to do all we say.
SHALL OUK GIRLS GO TO UNIVER
SITIES !
There is considerable comment going
the rounds of the pres* concerning the
adaption of women to the courses at our
uuiveniity at Athens. The Madi
sonian takes this view of the subject:
"We do not want them there at all.
While it may be true that such custom
obtains among the colleges of the north
and west, to some extent, we have had
enough of Susan Anthony, Mrs. Packard,
Dr. Mary Walker, Mrs. Incase et al., to
satisfy eveu the umst ardent admirer of
the new i«lea of slow male and fast fe
male.
"If a woman can be admitted at
Athens, why not let men attend Wealey-
au, Lucy Cobh or the Georgia Normal
and Industrial, at Milledgeville? Surely
sauce for the goose is sauce for the gan
der also. It i* argued that the daily
mingling of the sexes in the class room
in some indefinite sort of way modifies
the niales; but do not the females suffer
by the contact ?”
We did not know until the Madisonian
advanced the statement, that "the new
idea” of a higher education for women
made “slow male ami fast female.”
That is pretty hard on the the boy*: we
had thought they would hustle around
and keep up with the girls. When the
Madisonian asks why hoys should not,
with equal propriety, 1m* admitted to
girls’ school*, one «loe* not have to give
one’s mental processes much of an im
petus to form the natural query, "what
boy that has the privilege of Yale, liar-
or even the state University at
Athens, would accept the entre to Wes
leyan or any other girls school iu the
country ♦
The Madisonian objects to university
education for girls because Mrs. Anthony,
Mn>. Israse, et al., without any such edu
cation, have attained prominence. Poor
logic that. Better not try to keep the
girl* hack intellectually. With the pre
sent outlook in the direction of our mas
culine confrere in Madison, the country
is going to need smart women.
In the Macon Evening New* we fu
tbe following deserved compliment:
Miss Is>la Johnson, of Waycross,
the most beautiful young lady at l
fam«ais resort St. Simon* thi* season.
She U very graceful and gracious,
has a queenly appearance moving among
her friends.”
The Telegraph makes us it* finu friend
in this:
Mrs. H. W. Reel, the popular and in
teresting editor of the Waycross Hebai.d
charming is a lady and has a boat of
friends al! over Georgia. She is always
the life of her many friends We wish
her bright weekly a prosperous year.”
