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. Robt. W. Freeman, 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to have the Acts of 1882 and 1SS3 and the amendments of 1886 and 1887, known as the prohibition Acts for Coweta county, repealed, created consterna tion among the prohibitionists of New nan,” and adds: “This brings up the old fight again, and both factions are marshaling all their forces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 about; seven hundred colored Easily Explained. 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.

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.

HAS just opened, at the old stand of A. O. Lyndon, a new, fresh, and well assorted stock of 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. tax delinquents on the list, with no campaign fund to draw upon for cus tomary “expenses” it is really a mat ter of speculation as to whether he can command any support at all. He is too shrewd a man to squander his private wealth in a contest so hopeless as this would be without the use of boodle, and as no partisan has been found who is patriotic enough to furnish the “sinews of war,'”'the cam paign drags from sheer inanition. Lawyer Barnes is an incorrigible wag, and will get as much fun out of the race as any independent candidate could. s FANCY & FAMILY GROCERIES, CONSISTING OF Flour, Meal, Meatf Canned Goods, Pickles, Candies, Tobacco, Snuff, “SIN PAR” FIVE CENT CIGAR FRESH mackerel, CONDENSED MILK FRESH POTATOES, 60 cents a peck.

The patronage of the public is respectfully solicited. 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.

White, of Athens, that under no circumstances will he allow the use of his name for the Chancellorship of the State University at the meeting of the Board on October the 5th. W. P.

The bagging trust has aroused the in dignation of the farmers throughout the cotton States. Cotton planters are ready to annihilate the wicked organi zation, if it is possible to and a satisfac tory substitute that will be acceptable to the cotton exchange and the cotton underwriters. There is a universal de sire to have this matter settled. At the solicitation of individual farmers and some agricultural organizations, I am authorized bv the Fair Committee of the Georgia State Agricultural Society to invite all the farmers of the cotton States to meet at Macon, during the State Fair, on the 16th and 17th of Oc tober, for the purpose of taking defi nite action upon all trusts and combina tions, that effect, hurtfully, the agri cultural interests of the South. the retail price of the “Stagg’s Patent Coffee Pots,” to bring them within the reach of ev ery family. 1 quart, 50c. quart, 60c. 3 quart, 75c. quart, 90c.
