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
10 o’clock A. 31., for the purpose of de
termining the time and manner of nom
inating candidates of the party for
county offices. Each member is urged
t o be present.
ROBT. W. FREE3IAN,
Chairman.
A New Outlet for Newnan.
Newnan will undoubtedly be benefit
ed by the building of the Chattanooga,
Rome and Columbus rofitl, which has
recently been completed to Carrollton
—even more than can now be estimat
ed. The two points are only tWenty-
five miles apart, and the contiguity of
so important a shipjjing point as New
nan to a line of railway that is entirely
independent of the Central can have
but one effect. The Central authorities
have already shown their appreciation
of the situation by recognizing this as
a competitive point, and as a conse
quence the town enjoys better facilities
for shipping than ever before in her his
tory. The rate on cotton from New
nan to Savannah now is the same as
from Griffin to Savannah, and only one
cent per hundred higher than from At
lanta. In fact, Newnan has a lower rate
than any point between Opelika and
Atlanta, and as low rate as any town
between Newnan and Macon. This is
an advantage that cannot be too highly
estimated,, and will result in a saving to
the town of at least $3,500 on cotton
shipped the present season.
Nor is this all. When the bill of in
junction filed by the piinority stock
holders of the Savannah, Griffin and
North Alabama road to restrain the
Central from foreclosing its mortgage
on that property is disposed of, there
is scarcely any doubt that the road will
be extended and greatly improved in
every way. A lateral line to Greenville
is certain to be built, and the ultimate
extension of the road to some point in
Alabama is not only probable but prac
tically assured. At present, however,
the Central is handicapped by the law
suit referred to, and unless this is 'with
drawn or otherwise disposed of it can
hardly be expected that any material
improvements will be made, except so
far as the bare necessities of the road
require, or the public safety may de
mand. It is not likely that the Central
will expend anything for betterments
so long as the property remains in' liti
gation. The Central already owns
9,000 shares of the stock, the remaining
2,000 shares being owned or controlled
by the minority stockholders. Col. W,
E. H. Searcy, of Griffin, is supposed to
be the largest holder of the minority
stock, and he has intimated at various
times that if the syndicate which he
represents could get control of the
property they would accomplish great
things. Up to this time, however, Col.
Searcy has been rather unfortunate
with his railroad projects, (and he has
been identified with several, of greater
or less magnitude,) hence, there islittle
encouragement to hope for an early
materialization of the scheme outlined
by him from time to time in connection
with this road. That the property has
been shamefully depreciated, no one
will deny; but this is a grievance that
belongs to the original stockholders,
and not to those who have bought up
the stock at $7.50 per share, as Col.
Searcy has done. Ilad he been one of
the original stockholders, and suffered
that it will have in delaying or obstruct
ing the improvements so much needed
on the Savannah, Griffin and North
Alabama road. The case will be heard
before Judge M. J. Clarke, in Atlanta,
some time during the coming month,
and we sincerely trust that the argu
ment there had will be final and con
clusive. But for this incubus we have no
doubt the road would have been extend
ed to Greenville months ago, and Ne«-
nan is far more interested in the buil
ing of this line than in any scheme which
Col. Searcy has yet brought forward,
or is likely to do.
Postponement of the State Fair.
The city authorities of Macon are
very wroth because the officers of the
State Agricultural Society have decid
ed to postpone the State Pair, and in
sist that the contract entered into be
tween the State Fair officials and the
city has been violated. Tlie multiplic
ity of fairs arranged and advertised for
the coming fall months, howevei,
seems so largely in excess of any rea
sonable demand or interest on the part
of the people, we are inclined to in
dorse the action of the Fair committee
in postponing its annual exhibition as
eminently -wise and proper. The en
terprise exhibited by the leading towns
of the State in getting up exhibitions
of this character is to be commended,
of course, but they have multiplied so
rapidly in recent years as to furnish reas
onable ground for apprehension that
the fair business may be overdone. Be
yond the pleasure and exhilaration inci
dent to casual attendance—which may
or may not be enjoyed, as the occasion
affords or circumstances permit—the
country people are but little benefited.
It is a fine advertising scheme for the
towns and for exhibitors; but, as a rule,
the country pepple pay royally for the
moiety of pleasure derived.
The Atlanta Journal says Governor
Gordon has ordered the suspension of
the collection of taxes in Richmond
county until the Legislature meets.
The city of Augusta and Richmond
county have sustained such an im
mense loss from the recent floods that
the Governor thinks the hardship of
paying State taxes ought to be with
drawn for this year. To make up for
the loss occasioned by the floods the
people of Richmond county have been
obliged to impose upon themselves a
special tax of one per cent. The thou
sands of dollars which private parties
lost and this special tax will be a bur
den that will be a considerable hard
ship to the people. The Legislature
must take action on the matter before
the taxes can be raised. Tlie Governor
can only suspend the collection of tax
es till the Legislature meets. That
body will no doubt immediately relieve
the people of Richmond county from
the payment of the State tax.

This action has been deemed ^^b

A negro has been nominated for
Senator in Spalding county, to
against Judge John I Hall the ^
lar nominee, mere are j ,
Democrats in Spalding that <*> uld ^ ea *
Judge Hall, and we are quite sure a
colored Republican can’t do it.
Lawyer Barnes is advised that the
campaign is slowly but surely dra ™“ g
to a close. If he has any reason to of
fer why bis budding ambition should
not be sacrificed to Democratic unity
and success, lie should speak now or
forever hereafter hold his peace.
Every Democrat in the county
should go the polls next Wednesday
and vote the nominated ticket. Ad
minister such a rebuke to independent-
ism that it will never have the courage
to raise its head in the county again.
J. J. Beall, the political gyascutus
who is opposing Dr. H. L. Johnston for
the Legislature in Campbell county,
styles himself a “Republican-Demo
crat.” This is covering a good deal of
ground for a one-horse candidate.
Giddy aspirants for official prefer
ment who encounter the red wet blank

county will not need to be reminded of
their indiscretion but once.

GENERAL MERCHANDISE.
A bill was introduced in the Senate
last Monday offering a reward of $100,-
000 for tlie discovery of the cause, rem
edy and treatment of yellow fever.
The bill requests all persons who re
cover from yellow fever, after treat
ment by some copyrighted method, to
notify the Surgeon-General of their re
covery, and that all physicians who
have under treatment by any copy
righted method any person who may
die from yellow r fever shall notify the
Surgeon-General of the death and
method of treatment, and that when
record shall be had of some remedy
that Shall have cured 9S1 of 1,000
cases treated, the inventor or discoverer
of that method shall be paid the reward
of $100,000. Under the terms of the
bill all remedies entered for this com
petition shall have to he copyrighted
with the Librarian of Congress.
Hon. W. II. Daniel, the Democratic
nominee for Representative in Heard
county, is being opposed by J. H. Mc
Donald, an independent. Our sister
county did herself honor when she in
dorsed the candidacy of so worthy and
excellent a gentleman as we know Mr
Daniel to he, and we shall be both sur
prised and disappointed if she stands
idly by next Wednesday and allows
him to be defeated by the mongrel
coalition which is understood to be ar
rayed against him. The opposition is
said to be composed of Independents,
Republicans and negroes, aided and
abetted by the usual contingent of
malcontents and disorganizes that
float on the political surface in election
years, seeking whom they may annoy.
Owing to the existence of yellow-
fever in Florida and Alabama, and the
strict quarantine regulations establish
ed at different points in this and ad
joining States, the managers of the
Chattahoochee Valley Exposition at
Columbus, the State Fair at Macon,
and the Augusta National Exposition
have decided to postpone those exhibi
tions. The Chattahoochee Valley Ex
position will open November 15th and
close December 1st. The Augusta
National Exposition will open Novem
ber Stli and close December 15th. The
State Fair has been postponed indefi
nitely. The North Georgia Exposition,
at Rome, will open next Monday, as
prey iousl y .an nounced.
Nasal Voices, Catarrh and False Teeth.
A prominent English woman says
the American women all have high,
shrill, nasal voices and false teeth.
Americans don’t like the constant
twit ting they get about this nasal twang
and yet it is a fact caused by our dry,
stimulating atmosphere, and the uni
versal presence of catarrhal difficulties.
But why should so many of our wo
men have'false teeth V
That is more of a poser to the En
glish. It Is quite impossible to account
for it except on the theory of deranged
stomach action caused by imprudence
in eating and by want of regular exer
cise. . ,
Both conditions are unnatural.
Catarrhal troubles everywhere pre
vail and end in cough and consumption
which are promoted by mal-nutrition
induced by deranged stomach action.
The condition is a modern one, one un
known to our ancestors, -who prevented
the catarrh, cold, cough and consump
tion by abundant and regular use of
what is now known as Warner’s Log
Cabin cough and consumption remedy
and Log Cabin sarsaparilla, two old
fashioned standard remedies handed
down from our ancestors, and now ex
clusively put forth under the strongest
guarantees of purity and efficacy by the
world-famed makers of Warner’s safe
cure. These two remedies plentifully
used as the fall and winter seasons ad
vance, together with an occasional use
of Warner’s Log Cabin rose cream, to
strengthen and protect the nasal mem
branes, give a positive assurance of .fre-
dom, both from catarrh and those
dreadful and, if neglected, inevitable
consequences, pneumonia, lung troub
les and consumption, which so general
ly and fatally prevail among our peo
ple.
Comrade Eli Fisher, of Salem, Henry
Co., Iowa, served four years in the late
war and contracted a disease called
consumption by the doctors. lie had
frequent hemorrhages. After using
Warner’s Log Cabin cough and con
sumption remedy, he says, under date
of Jan. 19th, 1S8S: “I do not bleed at the
lungs any more, my cough does not
bother me, and I do not have any more
smothering spells.” Warner’s Log Cabin
rose cream cured his wife of catarrh
and she is “sound and well.”
Of course we do not like to have our
women called nose talkers and false
teeth oivners, but these conditions can
be readily overcome in the manner in
dicated.
