FOR REPRESENTATIVES W. Y. ATKINSON, J. P. JONES. 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. cers, and the Assistant Secretary ^ have the same salary as tha ° ceived by the First Assistant Secretary of the Interior Department. C, W. MACUNE, president, announces the postponement of the meeting of the National Farmers' Alliance at Me d ian Miss., until the 15th of January This action has been deemed ^^b „„ account of the prevalence of yellow fever in some of the Southern States. 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 et of Democratic disfavor in Coweta county will not need to be reminded of their indiscretion but once. The election for Governor, State House officers and members of the General Assembly occurs next Wed nesday. _ Vote the straight Democratic ticket next Wednesday. The regular session of the Commis sioners’ Court has been postponed un til Tuesday, October 9. Parties having business before it will govern tlienj- selves accordingly. Rout. W. Freeiian, Clerk. HERRING & HILL dealers in DRY GOODS, GROCERIES, CLOTHING AND 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.
