GEORGIA HEWS.
Stage of the Political Tide in
Campbell.
THE CLOSING DAY AT
New Principal of Gordon Institute—Con
ductor Hall Stabbed—llnco far the
Nomination la Washington-
Social Affairs at Jackson.
Fairisurn, 'August 10.—Politics in this
county is moving up. We have three
candidates for the nomination, H. J.
Johnson, Kush Irwin and A. B. Smith.
The election conies off September 5th. J.
j. Ifaall uid William Jackson, are inde
pendent candidates.
I notice the mass-meeting in Coweta
county refused to instruct their delegates
for Hon. Leon Ballard. We do not under
stand what this means. Capt. Ballard is
Campbell county’s choice, and as this is
Campbell’s time to furnish the candidate
under the rule, why Coweta object's to
Capt. Ballard, we do not know. We are
satisfied that Capt. Ballard will be nomi
nated and elected. Jt is nothing but right
and it has always been the rule in this dis
trict. Capt. Ballard is an homrable man>
and an cx-repre6entative, and he is an able
and competent man. If this district de
sires to instruct Captain Ballard on any
question, and the whole district wishes it,
or a majority of it, Capt. Ballard will cer
tainly carry out the instructions.
This county is in favor of Senator Col
quitt as his own successor.
Dr. H. L. Johnson will address the people
of Campbell county on the 20th inst., at
Talibans. He ha? invited hi" opponents
to meet him and discuss the issues ol the
day.

Tlio Second nnd Lint Day of tho Reunion
nt Madison.
Madison, August 10.—Thursday, the
Sflt. was the great gala day of the reunion
ei the Third Georgia Regiment at this
place. As before reported the crowds
came in vast numbers from the country
and on the trains. Early in the day the
association held a business meeting. About
ten o’clock they repaired to the Crawford
grove, escorted by the Home Guards.
l*at Burney was master of ceremonies
and Commander Dexter field officer. Exer
cises were opened with prayer by Rev. Mr.
Hoyt, himself a grand old Confederate
soldier. Letters, regretting impossibility
of attendance were read from
the following distinguished gentlemen and
soldiers, via: Gen. John B. Gordop, Gen.
Fits Jingli Lee, Gen. Wheeler, Gen. Long-
street, Major Kiley nnd Greely, of the
IJnited States array, Hawkins Zouaves,
N nth Regiment New'York Volunteers, H.
H. Carlton. Jefferson Davis, Senator Col
quitt and other distingui«hed men.
The audienco fronting the speakers’
stand was immense. Sergeant C. B. Bar-
row, Company D, delivered the address of
welcome on part of Company D of Mor
gan. This speech was beautiful. He wel
comed all the city. He snoke for tho
famiiicsof company D, for their friends,
and welcomed all to the goats and bul
locks and pigs, which were in barbecue.
On the rostrum were distinguished visitors
and Miss Lizzie Snead, daughter of Col.
Snead, of Augusta. A beautiful bouquet
was before him for Miss Snead. In pre
senting this the speaker said:
“Lovely maiden 1 guardian of our flag:
Made the daughter of our regiment at Tal
lulah, may the wild revels of nature
around that romantic spot, iter upheavals
and concussions, and the wearing force of
time as exhibited in that awful chasm,
ever remind you of the shock of battle and
corrosion of years which have transpired
around the treasure you keep. Here, fair
daughter, is a bunch of flow-
ere—a token of remembrance,
affection and welcome to you. Wrought
by a Confederate mothers hand, may it
remind you of a mother's love. In re
membrance of Confederate mothers,
whose sons went down in defense of vour
trust, and in name of tho survivors of the
Third Georgia Regiment, I give it to you.
Its freshness to day may symbolize your
youth and beauty; its faded fragrance of
to-morrow may serve to remind you of the
sweetness that liagers around withered
beauty after a well spent life. “Truth
crushid to earth will rise again."
Tlio Immortal power of (tod arc ber*,
But. wounded error writliei In pain
And dies amid ber w orshippers.
Miss Sneed’s response wsg short and
appropriate. She is the custodian of the
tattered flag of the regiment. She spoke
clearly, distinctly, and with touching ef
fect. Could she transform herself into an
angel, she said, she would hover in tho
beautiful ether above aud shower a bless
ing upon each old veteran of the Third
Georgia Regiment.
Rev. Sam Burney was next introduced.
He spoke in behalf of Morgan coumy and
welcomed all soldiers and all the people to
the grand occasion.. This he did well and
was cheered |by the people.
He still has the old lime fire of a Con
federate and his heart beats true as steel.
True to his now united country, still he is
noneof vour latter day saints. A hand full
of brave men who wore the blue, he said,
were residents of Morgan county. These,
too, were trappy in being with old “Con-
feds’’ in efforts to make memorable this
annual reunion in Madison. He believed
in these reunions, believed in smoking to
gether the pipe of peace, but desired to
hold together the rapidly dissolving frag
ments of the noblest army ever mustered
in this world. The So lit It had noth

newed grandeur such as the world never

Co!. R. R. Nubet, of Eatonton, replied to
this address of welcome in a way to please
Commodore. He wan the Hist soldier to
inaugurate the reunion movement.
And then came the dinner and the rush
and the scrouge. To-night is the big ball

GROWING CHOPS.
General Aver.nge of Cotton Raised—Con
dition of Corn, Wheat, Etc.
Washington, August 10.—The August
report of the Department of Agriculture
shows a small reduction in the condition of
cotton in the Caroliaas, Alabama and Louisi
ana, and an advance in Florida, Texas aud
Western Tennessee. The averages % of Geor
gia and Mississippi are unchanged. The
general average is 87.3 against 86.7 a mouth
ago, and 03.3 last August.
The figures by States are: Virginia 84;
North Carolina, 82; South Carolina, 84;
Georgii, 90; Florida^ 92; Alabama, 90; Mis
sissippi, 92; Louisiana, 90; Texas, 79; Ar
kansas, 103; Tenne>see ; 93. There has been an
abundance of rain until recently. Drouth of
long duration is locally indicated on the
Atlantic eoast and on the Galf coast east of
the MisMsuippi. \W t of the Mississippi,
and m Northern Mississippi and Western
Tennessee, rains have been frequent
aud abundant, aud the growth of the plant
is from medium to large. East of the .Scats
of Mississippi, the plant is comparatively
small.
In nearly the entire breadth development j
is represented as later than usual,, tno ugh «
piflluoi wafl.cjMHtf t«> commence. In me |
lower latitude cotton is, almost wilhou -■ »-x-;
ception, reported in sound health jsad vjgur, j
with as little shedding of leaves and forms j
at is mentioned in moss successful seasons, j
There is a little rust, but not seri us, except
in a few counties, mostly in Georgia und |
• Jabama, where “black rust" prevniis in j
certain localities. The caterpillar is present'
verr generally in the southern half o: me )
lower part of these States, but is doing no
injury, except in a county or two in Florida.
It is not much dreaded, being kept in limited
numbers by poisoning. Ihe boll worm is in
some counties of Texas.
CORN.
The Department of Agriculture reports a
small advance iu the condition of com, from
last week to 95.05. Rains have been gen
erally seasonable, though in excess in some
districts and deficient jn others. In Kansas,
the Carolinas, Delaware aud North Carolina,
the condition is reduced by local droughts.
In the Southwe-t, where droughts some
times occur at this season, there has been an
improvement, and a large crop is already as
sured. In the corn, surplus States a high
condition prevails, with some advance over
the figures of last month. The percentages
of States of the central valleys are: Ken
tucky, 98; Ohio, 98; Indiana, 99; Illinois,
96; Iowa, 98; Missouri, 99; Kausas, 91, and
Nebraska, 96. Tnere will be a heavy crop
in this region as is usually and naturally ex
pected in a seasonable year following one
of extreme drouth. A high condition of
miize also prevails in the Northern border
States and Territories, Dakota starting low
est at 84.
WHEAT.
Spring wheat has fallen from its high posi
tion of a month ago. The chinch^bug stands
at the head of the disasters reported, in
volving more or less Wisconsin, Minne
sota, Towa and Nebraska, and in places doing
serious damage. High temperature, exces
sive rains, blights, rust and army worms are
reported, and evidently will seriously reduce
the general condition. Dakota stands high
est. with an average of 91, a loss of seven
points. The reported yield runs au ex
treme range ^rom a few bushels to
forty per acre. The reduction of per cent-
age in Minnesota is from 94 to 85 in Wiscon-
sin, from 91 to 83; in Iowa, from 5*7 to “1; in
Nebr ska, from 94 to 84. The crop in Col
orado and in Washington and other Terri
tories and in New England is good and fair.
Northern Illinois, Northern New Y’ork and
in the higher .latitudes or altitudes of the
winter wheat States, the general condition
has been reduced from 95.09 to 87.03 during
July. This exhibit does not include the
modifying changes in the first part of Au
gust. The harvest was about to commence
in some districts, and in others will not be
ready till the 20th or 25th instant.
There are no estimates of winter wheat
after threshing as yct { but the remarks of
reporters make the yield better than the
early promise in all States that produce
much of a crop. Cases of heavy yields are
reported. s
OTHER CBO{*9.
Changes that have occurred in the general
averages of other caops during the month
are, oats, from 95.2 to 91.7; barley, from 91
to 89.4; spring rye, from 96.8 to 91.4; Irish
potatoes from 95.7 to 93.2. The buckwheat
crop, from the first report in August, aver
ages in condition 92 to 95.
A QUESTION OF HEALTH.
Bread, biscuit and cake, now generally made by the
aid of baking powder, enter so largely into our daily for,]
that their debasement by the introduction of any j n j u
rious or deteriorating substance is a matter of serious
concern to the public health. What baking powder shall
we use to avoid the lime and alum now found in so many
leavening agents, and to insure pure, sweet and wholesome
bread, is a question, therefore, of direct importance to
every individual.
The “Royal” has been determined by the Govern
ment chemists and the most prominent food analysts to be
the only baking powder made that is entirely free from
lime, alum and other impurities, and absolutely pure. It
is made from cream of tartar refined for its exclusive use
by patent processes by which the tartrate of lime is totally
eliminated. No other baking powder manufacturer uses
chemically pure cream of tartar, and hence the adulteration
of other brands. The “Royal” is, accordingly, the only
baking powder that will produce perfectly pure bread,
biscuit, cake, pastry, etc.; and these articles are now pro-
nonneed more wholesome when raised by the Royal Baking
Powder than when leavened by any other agent.
It is particularly a question of health, therefore, what
baking powder we shall use; and those who appreciate the
miseries of dyspepsia and other ailments that follow the
use of impure food will not hesitate to select the “Royal”

Slowly Crushed to Denth.
Denver, August 11.—A singular accident
occurred yesterday on the Denver, Utah nnd
I’acifie railway, near Garfield. At that point
the track runs direct to Mitchell coal mines. 1
The grade is very steep, and it is caitomary
to ship loaded coal cars to the main track
without the assistance of an engine. Yes

upon npproachitig the branch track, stopped
and whistled as usual. lie had
just started his engiue again and reached the

scending the crude dashed directly into the
engine. The locomotive was derailed, and

the ground, gradually squeezing him to
death, although with not sufficient force to
crush any hones. The fireman, also, was
bndlv injured, but was spirited away by the
officials of the road.
Hud the accident occurred a second later
a closely packed passenger car would have
been wrecked, with most disastrous reiults.

Wilkksbarrk, Pa., August 12.—Ah at

nnd the bomb was placed on thefrout porch,

blew in the Iront of the house, and tore
down a fence eighteen feet away. Beyond a

were uniojured.
The duties of his position made Mr. Col
