Col. E. B. Lewis, the nominee for the
Georgia senate, is hopeful of a splendid
victory. He will be elected by an over
whelming majority. It is sometimes
said we do not send our business men
to the legislature. But tibia is not true
Jn Col. (Lewis’s case. He is business all
over: business from the star., business
at 'the close. Nt> man in the Georgia
Semite will see the 'business of a propo
sition sooner than Col. Lewis. If it is
no good he will see it In a moment.
Such a man as he is the kind to send
to the legislature. A. quick, well in
formed business man. A blessing to
his state.
Tom Watson and Hines speak here on
next Monday. A large crowd will sSthcr
tto hear them,.is they are new orators to
this community. They come bn a mis

Mr. iBetroer took the lead. He was in
fine trim and for an hour and a half
the old party of the people never had
a more courageous defender, and The
fallacious dreamers of the third party
were held up and presented in their
true llgihlt land with te'Mlwg effect.
Mr. Hum delivered one of his hu
morous speeches, whldh wu3 ju^t as

are forming the negroes Anto eecret so-
cleties after the manner of the secret
leagues In the days of carpet-bagUrn.
Thoae leagues did the people untold In
jury in days gone by. After the war
the negroes and tlralr former owners
with feelings bf mutual good will, were
endeavoring in their own way to solve
the (problem of the new endldon of
•filings. The oarpet-bagger appeared on
she scene and became .the serpent In the
garden. They took the neRmosom
from under ithe influence of the .white
people and formed them into a party
tmto themselves. (destrylng -the tie* that
bound the two races together. Evil
came to all from this work of the car
pet-bagger. And evil will come from
this new effort to form the negroes
again into secret organisations and in
flame 'them against a portion of the
white people. We used to ask the Re
publican party to let us and the negro
slone. We now will have to make the
aameinequest of the agitators who are
now preaching alienation, discord, strife
and disruption cd the unity of the white
people.

(Mr. AUdluson. In that calm. t.l;r.!(led
manner, In a quiet, unbiased, Incontro
vertible speech of two hours, opened up
on the political questions of the day and
impartially poured forth volley* of Dem
ocratic truth* Into the Fbpullst rank*
In such a lucid and forcible manner that
the nuist rabid Populist will be bound
to admit the utter fallacy of their false
dootrlnos and teachings. In this, which
he termed merely a POP call, he said he
was here as a matter of gratitude—so
far as the safety of Coffee county was
concerned she needed no oratorical ef
fort; that she would, ns heretofore, give
u ootid Dcmamtle victory. He said there
wure but two parties; that In national
legislation the third party was not
known—K wo* not even strong enough
to flavor It. He took up each plank of
the Populist platform and fully discuss
ed them, showing the great evil that
would result were that party and plat
form to beoame successful, and chal
lenged any third party man in the -an-
dienes to dispute it. No one responded.
Then he told them If they could not In
dorse this mongrel party and platform
for God’s sake to be brue to themoelve*.
their families and country an,l pull loose
from their communistic nibble and be
true to their country by coming back
home to old mother Demorncy In de
fense of the grand Empire state of the
South. . He explained the common
school system tb the colored people and
the benefits they derive by ft- Democrat
ic administration. 'He was continually
applauded to the echo. (After the speech
Mr. Atkinson had a pleas.it t handshak

several students of the Olds’ Normal

Atlanta, Spet. 11.—(Special.)—Within
the coming six weeks Governor Nbrth-
en will open In Atlanta the general of
fice of the biggest immigration move
ment ever started tn the South. The
railroads entering Atlanta have put $12.
000 In the venture, and to it Governor
Northea will devote Ilia future. Gov
ernor Nonthen Is to be the executive
head of the great scheme; the general
managers of the railroads entering At
lanta ore to be the directors. Thousand'
of dollars will be spent In bringing peo
ple to Georgia. The plan is the broadest
anil must perfectly- conceived that ha
over been advanced. It contemplates
the appointment of on agent In eve”y
county In the state and extending the
work of inducing immigrants to come to
Georgia Into every state In the Union,
The general office, to be located In At
lanta.wll! be opened November 1. Right
from the governor’
the governor will
work enthusiastically, energetically; he
will devote to It all his time and energy;
he Will spend a great deni nf hU lima
traveling, and great results may be ex
pected from his sDlonllld efforts. He has
matured his plans with the greatest de
liberation. He went to the several roads
for their co-operation. The roads were
instantly struck with the feasibility cf
his plan -anil did not hesitate to sub
scribe to it liberally.. The governor’s
idea Is no plan can succeed without the
co-operation of the railroads cf the
South, and he will be enabled to bring
armies of immigrants to that state tit a
Ibw rate. Speaking of the plan. Gov
ernor Northen said today:
"Every thinking man can but see the
necessity for building up our rural dis
tricts. Our people are abandoning the
oonntry ito’a great extent, because of
the lack of < educational and social ad
vantages. If this policy continues the
towns (themselves must evidently oreak
down for the lack of support by wha-t
should be the sale of products from the
country. The decay of the town must
carry with them necessarily all (he In
dustries that make the wealth anil
growth of -the state. Having lost all
hope, after repcalted effort, to haxe the
state undertake this owrk, and pro
foundly Impressed wih its Importance, I
determined to seek aid from other
sources, at the same time assuming my
self the management of a bureau of In
formation for the state, relying for aid
upon such public spirited corporations
and individual citizens as might recog
nize the advantages to come to the gen
eral good of the state. This bureau 1
will make alto a land and Immigration
agency. With this view 1 began con
ference el til (i,e loading railroad offi
cials of rile state some months ago and
while 1 found all of them In hearty
sympathy with my suggestions, (they
were not then hi position to act author
itatively. Since the recognition of some
of the leading rood* that enter tho state,
Infdeeil at the recent session of the
Souhern Railway and Steamship Amj-
clmtion a't Manhattan Beach, the roads
of the state contributed $12,000 to the
purposes of the bureau, to be organized
tfigm a plan that I had submitted to
them. The roads will give me every
»**8>lo a&v»BUme It, this way. beside*
shall have agencies ut all proper
points, and. better still, after I get the
office organized in this city 1 shall spend
a great deal of mv time at mich places
in the (East and West as give ms good
'opportunity to present the advantages
of tiie state.''
The government. dual* prohibited tlhe
use for advertising purposes of toe

he *.i great protection to the public If
■tbe gjvernuvenl: would also prohibit the
publication of false claims such as

to the effect that a cargo of wheat
amounting to 450,000 bushels, had be™
shipped from Chili to New York Later

dull and the market fluctuated between a

enced by the strength in corn, but the
trading was light, resulting in the mar-
ket Belling off to the put price. Subse
quently prices were forced up on the
covering of a Bhort line by local specula-
tors, but the moment the demand was
satisfied, the trade being entirely local

Corn waa very nervous from start to
finish with, however, a strong undertone
All .the time. It started firm on light
offerings and a continuation of the bear-
lsh feeling, asaisted by some buying or
der* from the country. It weakened short-
ly afterward* on local offerings, caused,
presumably, by the bearish Iowa state
crop report. This makes the corn condi
tion 36 per cent, and the yield W.ttW.OOO
bushels*, the government report putting
It at 74,000,000. The state report further
adds that the fodder will be so generally
auved and used, that the fodder and gra^n
together will be equal to about 60 per cent,
on an average. Prices became stronger
towards the close on buying by short*,
