Indeed, there is no good reason
why Newnan should not be accorded
equal advantages with other competi
tive points, and, as such, she will insist
upon every privilege guaranteed by the
Railroad Commission of Georgia. In
making the concession referred to, the
Central has violated no provision of
the inter-State commerce law. So far
as Newnan is concerned, the reduction
in rates is made upon the basis of mile
age, and there is no apprehension that
the Inter-State Commission will reverse
the action of the Central authorities in
giving lower rates from this point than
from more remote, intermediate oi
non-competitive points.
We sympathize with our less fortunate
neighbors, of course—but business is
business, and a saving of twenty-fit e
cents per bale on all cotton marketed
in Newnan is an advantage that our
farmer friends will not be slow to ap
preciate. -
Notice to County Democratic Exec
utive Committee.
The Democratic Executive Commit
tee of Coweta county will meet in the
office of McClendon & Freeman, in
Newnan, on Saturday, the 29th inst., at
LO o’clock A. M., for the purpose of de
termining the time and manner of nom
inating candidates of the party for
county offices. Each member is urged
to be present.

Chairman.
A Joke.
The Newnan correspondent of the At
lanta Constitution, in a communication
to that paper of the 17th inst., says “the
announcement that L. P. Barnes was an
independent candidate for the Legisla
ture, pledging himself, if elected, to
have the Acts of 1882 and 1SS3 and the
amendments of 1886 and 1887, known
as the prohibition Acts for Coweta
county, repealed, created consterna
tion among the prohibitionists of New
nan,” and adds: “This brings up the
old fight again, and both factions are
marshaling all their forces for the con
flict. This question overshadows every
other issue.” The situation so graphi
cally described by the Constitution s
correspondent exists only in his imagi
nation, the absurdity of which will be
fully appreciated when we state that
the “independent candidate for the
Legislature” and the Newnan corres
pondent of the Constitution are one
and the same person. There is no
“consternation” whatever. Indeed,
the announcement of his candidacy has
evoked but little comment, being re
garded more as a joke than otherwise.
His election would not be possible with
out the full colored vote, and as there

their inordinate greed. Shall we resist?
Laying aside whatever differences
there may be in our organizations, let
us come together upon the days nam
ed and foim one grand combine, the
pulse of which shall beat as one man,
while we make war, to utter extinction,
upon all trusts and monopolies that are
destructive to our agricultural interests.

please publish. W. J. Northen,
Pres. Ga. State Agricultural Society.

Putnam Co., April 29,1SS7.
I have been suffering for most thirty
years with an itching and burning all
over my face and body. I took eigh
teen bottles of one blood medicine and
it did me no good. I commenced last
January to use B. B. B., and after us
ing five bottles I felt better and stout
er than I have in thirty years; my
health is better and I weigh more than
I ever did. The itching is nearly ceas
ed and I am confident that a few more
bottles of B. B. B.will cure me entire
ly. I am sixty-two years old and can
now do a good day’s work in my field.
I consider it the best medicine I have
ever seen, for it certainly did me more
good than all the medicine I have ever
taken. I had, in all, nearly a hundred
risings on my face, neck and body.

The new rates of freight on cotton
have just reached us. We notice that
the rates are five cents per hundred
pounds more from West Point, La-
Grange, Ilogansville and Grantville
than points above and below these
points. How is it that, under the Inter-
State Commerce bill, cotton is hauled
from Opelika at a less rate than the
above named plaoes, when the cotton is
hauled by these points? That is not as
it should be, if we understand the mean
ing of the railroad commission. We do
nor. object to the road hauling cotton
from Opelika by West Point to points
beyond at the same rate as charged
from West Point, but we do object to
giving Opelika, a less ratp.
We ask the businessmen of LaGrange,
Ilogansville and Grantville to co-oper
ate with our merchants in an investiga
tion of this matter. .'Our merchants
will meet those of the above named
places .at any time or place to make a
thorough investigation, which should
be done at an early day- It is farther
from v ewnan to Savannah if you go
through West iPoint than it is from
West. Point, yet cotton is hauled from
Newnan to Sasannah five cents per
hundred cheaper than it is hauled from
West Point to ‘Savannah.— West Point
Alliance.
It does seem a little hard that West
Point and other intermediate points
should be taxed 25 cents more per bale
on cotton shipped to Savannah than is
charged from Newnan or Opelika, yet
it is one of the’hardships that most
of the small towns have to endure.
Newnan would be in the same plight,
perhaps, but for Hie existence of the
Savannah, Griffin and North Alabama
road, which comes in direct competi
tion with the Atlanta and West Point
road and gives us an independent line
to Savannah. The Atlanta and West
Point road is not controlled by the
Central, but is operated under an inde
pendent management, and there is
aetive competition between the two
lines at this point. The Central stock
holders have .no share in the earnings
of the Atlanta and West Point road,
nor have the stockholders of the latter
road any interest in the earnings of the
Central system. The fact that the
Central road controls the Western
Railway of Alabama does not give it
control of the entire line from Atlanta
to Montgomery. It does control roads
centering at Newnan and Opelika, how
ever, and, being competitive points, it
is not strange that the Central should
offer inducements to secure business
that would otherwise he diverted to ri
val lines.
The truth is, Newitau is entitled to
better rates than either LaGrange or
West Point, and for several reasons:
1. We contributed over §150,000 to
the building of the Savannah, Griffin
and North Alabama road, but for
which we would to-day, like LaGrange
and West Point, be merely a way sta
tion on a single line of railway.
2. We are forty-eight miles nearer to
Savannah than West Point.
3. We are only twenty-five miles from
Carrollton, where connection can be
had with the Chattanooga, Rome and
Columbus road, and indirectly with the
Richmond and Danville, the East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia, and the
Cincinnati Southern roads.
4. This is the most important point
between Opelika and Atlanta, the
freight and passenger business of the
Atlanta and West Point road alone
exceeding that of any station on the
line except Opelika—and this does not»
include business given the Savannah,;
Griffin and North Alabama rqad.

and will get as much fun out of the
race as any independent candidate
could. s

The National Board of Marine Un
derwriters have notified the New York
Cotton Exchange that they will not
discriminate (in insuring) against cotton
packed in lighter bagging than has been
used heretofore, provided that good
quality of bagging is used, and the dif
ference in weight is compensated for by
the use of more iron bands, “say eight
or nine to the bale, instead of five or
six.” The underwriters attribute the
immense losses of cotton by fire to
the loose and coarse texture of the bag
ging commonly used. They therefore
recommend the use of a woven cloth
weighing one pound to the yard, and
warn the cotton shippers that if a
change and improvement in the method
of covering and pressing eotton for ship
ment is not made, it is possible that the
underwriters will, by combined action,
refuse to insure cotton and will with
draw from the business.

ready to annihilate the wicked organi
