FOR VICE-PRESIDENT : ALLEN G. THURMAN, of omo. STATE DEMOCRATIC TICKET. FOR GOVERNOR I JOHN B. GORDON. FOR SECRETARY OF STATE: N. C. BARNETT. FOR treasurer: ROBT. U. HARDEMAN. FOR COMPTROLLER-GENERAL: WM. A. WRIGHT. FOR ATTORNEY-GENERAL: CLIFFORD ANDERSON. FOR CONGRESS—FOURTH DISTRICT. THOMAS W. GRIMES, OF MUSCOGEE. FOR REPRESENTA TIVES W Y. ATKINSON, J. P. JONES. Respectfully Referred to His Georgia Relative. Mr. J. B. Sargent, of New Haven, Conn., (who, by the way, is a brother of Capt. H. J. Sargent, of this city,) is said to be the largest manufacturer of locks, bolts, builders’ and furniture hardware, and certain lines of carpen ter’s tools, in the world. He employs two thousand hands, and his shops cover twelve acres of ground. But, unlike his Georgia relative, he is not a protectionist. He has visited all the manufacturing countries on earth, and has just returned from a tour around the world; has investigated markets, prices and wages, and his deliberate conclusion is that he could profitably compete with the world if the tariff on raw materials were abolished. He could do this without reducing wages one cent, and by largely increasing his output, give employment to many more men. lie found.that, leaving the cost of raw materials out of the calculation, he could produce cheaper than any other country. While for heavy goods, easy of manufacture, there was no special foreign demand, he found that we exported large quantities of goods of which skilled labor was the most important element. Among other things he said: “In visiting hardware stores in New Zealand and Australia, I saw that the higher'grade and best finished carpen ters’ hand saws in stock were made by Disston & Sons, of Philadelphia. Saws of that make are unquestionably tak ing the markets of those countries from the British manufactures in high class goods. This means that Disston & Sons can produce a highly finished, first-class saw, requiring a large amount of skilled labor, at less cost than the English manufacturer can do it, al though Disston’s raw material costs more than the raw material of the English manufacturer costs him. In low grade goods, requiring less labor in •finish, but a larger proportionate amount of raw material, the English manufacturers still maintain their po sition, and hold the markets of the world. “My observation has taught me that the greatest obstacle to American com petition in foreign markets to nearly every class cf goods is the high price of our raw materials. Take off the duty and we will send our goods everywhere. Wages would increase here under such ;t system rather than become lower. The cost of frieght between England and this country would amply protect the American workingmen against Europe an labor, even if there were anything to be feared on that score, which I do not believe. I feel sure that if we were put on an equality with England, or nearly on equality, in the matter of raw ma terials, the business of American man ufacture for foreign countries would largely increase without any; reduction in the rate of wages in tlie United States. In fact, part of what we would save in the cost of raw material would be added to the present wages here.” At the meeting of the State Fann ers’ Alliance in Macon last week the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: R. II. Jackson, presi dent; L. F. Livingston, vice-president; R. L. Burks, secretary; J. H. Daniel, treasurer; Simeon Maxwell, chaplain; J. W. Beck, lecturer; .J. W. Taylor, as sistant lecturer; Edgar Stewart, door keeper; S. J. Harper, assistant door keeper; N. C. Bridges, sergeant-at- arms; J. H. Turner, State organizer. The following committees were ap pointed: Executive Committee—W. B. Hamilton, W. T. Goodwin, J. I. Ste phens. Judiciary Committee—J. II. Turner, L. L. Hardy, W. R. Gorman. Printing Committee—J. M. Massey, E. W. Russell, D. B. Wells. The Athens correspondent of the Macon Telegraph says that Miss Millie Rutherford, principal of Lucy Cobb Institute, has addressed p, letter to the mayor and council stating that reports of sickness in Athens were ruining her school, and many parents who had en tered their daughters fcr the ensuing scholastic year had notified her of their withdrawal. She asks the city author ities to take some steps to save the in stitute from seriousjoss of patronage. B. F. McLaughlin, chairman of the kite Congressional Convention, has ap pointed the following District Execu tive Committee for the ensuing two years: B. F.McLaughlin, of Meriweth er, chairman; E. R. Sharpe, of Carroll; Z. A. Liftlejohn, of Chattahoochee; W. B. Berry, of Coweta; W. I. Hudson, of Harris; I. J. Stephens, of Heard; W. D. Crawford, of Marion; G. M. Williams, of Muscogee; R. M. V illis, of Talbot; T. II. Frierson, of Taylor; E. R. Bradfield, of Troup. The Senatorial Convention will meet in this city next Wednesday to nomi nate a Senator to represent this district in the Legislature. The convention will be composed of fifty-seven dele gates—eighteen from Coweta, fifteen from Meriwether, twelve from Camp bell, and ten from Douglas. Hon. Levi Ballard will be presented as the choice of Campbell county, and he will doubt less be nominated by acclamation. A county convention will be held in Carrollton on Tuesday next to nomi nate candidates for the Legislature from Carroll county, and also to select delegates to the Thirty-seventh Dis trict Senatorial Convention. The con vention will be composed of delegates from the various militia districts, who will be selected by primary election to-morrow. Hon. R. H. Jackson, President of the Farmers’ Alliance, left Wednesday for Washington City, to be absent sev eral days.* His mission is understood to be in the interest of the Farmers’ Al liance, in the fight now being waged by that organization against the wicked bagging trust. ^.t the primary election held in Heard county last Saturday to nomi nate a candidate for the Legislature, Hon. W. H. Daniel was victorious, de feating his opponent, Hon. Levi Hol lingsworth, by a large majority. A primary election will be held in Campbell county to-morrow to nomi nate a candidate for the Legislature. The candidates are H. L. Johnston, Rush Irwin and A. B. Smith. The situation in Jacksonville is de cidedly gloomy. Up to date there have been 131 cases and 20 deaths, and the epidemic is spreading. All reports are discouraging. Oconee, Ga. Mr. Editor:—We left on the 19th inst. for a trip to our native county, Jefferson. We reached Sandersville at 1 o’clock, p. m., where we were met by our good old friend, Major Newman, and escorted to his comfortable and hospitable home. Here we met his good lady and daughter-in-law, and, as “Ripples” would say, we sat on the outside of just such a dinner as only such good housewives can prepare. After one hour socially and pleasantly spent we boarded the train for Gibson, the county seat of Glasscock, reaching our destination at 4 ip. M., soon after which that section was visited by a nice, cooling shower. During our en tire trip the country seemed to be dry, and the dust was almost unbearable. It took our optics three days to get over its effects. Along the line of the several railroads the crops seemed to be uniform in appearance and rather small, cotton largely predominating in acreage. Sunday morning we reached the res idence of our only aged sister, (now in her 90th year.) That evening we had a fine rain. Monday morning with two of our kindred we went to Rocky Comfort creek to catch some fish; but for some reason, unknown to us, the fish were out visiting, or not hungry. Owing to the rain, we stood and walk ed that day on slippery places. We made many visible impressions; were met by quite an array of venomous mosquitoes and saw two snakes. The party caught three cats, (fish, I mean,) terrapins, ditto, and quit in disgust. Exhausting our muscular power in pull ing up a long sand hill, (the hill is still there,) we reached our starting point and avowed we would fish in Rocky Comfort (the rocks and comfort were all out) no more. Moral—make no Sunday fishing arrangements. On Tuesday we visited Gibson. Su perior Court was in session, Judge Lumpkin presiding. We were forcibly impressed with his manner of dispatch ing business. The sheriff is not allowed to go to the door to call a juror or wit ness. Thej’ are required to be in the Court-room, ready when needed. Good rule, we think. At 3 P. M., the grand jury presentments were read, and that evening the Court adjourned—only two days session. We met our cousin there —just six and a half feet long. We boarded the cars for Jefferson and landed at Stapleton at 5 p. m. We spent some days here visiting around, and were forcibly impressed with the wonderful advancement made in the farming interest of the upper section of the bounty. The soil is light, gray, sandy land, some of it gravelly. The crops are remarkably good. We were present at a sale in 1834, and saw land that had then been in cultivation for many years. There is cotton growing to-day on that land that will yield one bale to every two and one-half acres. They give their cotton four feet dis tance in the row, and use mostly the Peterkin variety. Being sandy land, we noticed many places attacked by the rust. The rains have been frequent and the corn crops are good. The health of the county generally is good. WeA'isited the grave of our life-long friend, Co!. James Stapleton, who died 21st February last, and as we looked upon his silent grave we felt that Jef ferson county had lost one of her tru est, noblest sons. He was a grand man—a high-toned, Christian gentle man. He had made life a success. He was loved by all—his heart, his purse, his hand, was ever ready to minister to the wants of the suffering poor and the afflicted. He was the noble son of a noble sire. He was popular in his county, representing it several times in the Legislature. He was a faithful minister of the Gospel, holding forth the Word of Life until failing health bade him cease, and he died in the full assurance of a blessed immortality be yond the grave. God grant that his mantle may fall upon some one by whom it may be as worthily worn. We had the pleasure of meeting quite a number of cousins, but no un cles nor aunts. Kindest regards to the “Ripples,” “Rats,” and other household corres pondents. More anon. Vincent. Announcement. To the Voters of the 36tli Senatorial District:.
