TMK M4I.RDICTION OP A *4. 0./-« TA In every primary held so far in the State the llrmni’rats have polled their usual number of votes. No detrac tions .of any importance have been made by the Third Party, and every thing indicates that the usual Demo crat It) majority in the State will not be materially changed or lessened. Dis.utointkij Candidate Stevens doesn’t allude to Oohpiit county in his letter to the Hkuam>. The trim story of how he At ole the march on the nr- ' ghnizt.nl Democracy of tlml county, having the delegates to the Congres sional convention selected on the 20th of July, instead of the 801 h, would be interesting reading. m. Tun Philadelphia Record says: The farmers of Georgia have made a prof itable and palatable contribution to the summer comfort of tho people of Northern and Eastern towns and cities in the shipment northward of over 500 car loads of peaches. It is a pleasure to know that the growers have re ceived satisfactory prioes. The aver age return has been about $1,500 per car load. South Carolina polities went up to blood heat yesterday, and the result Was a persona) encounter between Gov. Tillman and Col. Orr, the Con servative candidate for Lieuten- ant-Gorernor. Coi. Orr had ac cused Gov. Tillman of using profane language on tho stump and in tho presence of indies. Yesterday at Union, the Governor resented this and called Orr a liar. Col. Orr then start ed at the Governor and a small sized riot, seemed Imminent, Hut friends Interfered, ami peace was finally re stored. “Mu. Tom Watson," says tbe Brook- lyn Eagle, “lias made his fling;” and the other fellows have bail their sling, and that Is the upshot and outcome of a very nosy and nasty Incident. By calling the Fifty-second Congress a drunken Congress, Mr. Watson has managed to establish the fact, on the testimony of competent observers, r.\' that by comparison with other Con gresses it is entitled to be considered a remarkably sober body. The people of the Tenth.; Georgia district will ,V probably bp satisfied with the achieve ment .of their Representative, and will not make any further use of Watson as a Congressman. tof. • Elsewhere in the paper we jfutitlshli letter from* Hon.* ©.’B. Steveps, the candidate otfhenow Well nigh desert ed Alliance political' machine of the Second Congressional district. It is, In reply to an editorial and a commu nication sighed “dictator” which ap peared ip the hxRAi,p oh the 8r4 inst. The perusal of these articles evi dently caused the fur of the usually doolie and smiling candidate for Con-' gressional honors to turn the wrong way, and we suspect that he lost the cunning of the shrewd politician for the .nonoe and straightway proceeded to Indite this Interesting epistle while the evil spirit of angry passion had oontrol of him. The letter Is full of the anathema that comes of disappointment and fol lows despair. It is the ill-tempered Wall of a defeated candidate whoso vaulting ambition and vain political aspirations have been overcome by an abler exponent of a more righteous cause. If anything In the way of facts and positive evidence were wanted by the intelligent voters of the district to convince them that Mr. Stevens is unlit to represent them In Congress, this latter of lus would be sufficient. Tho man who Is thrown out of balance and allows himself tobe upset by alittle newspaper criticism In a campaign like this would cut. a pretty figure on the floor of the National House of Rep resentatives. The llRiiAi.n has opposed Mr. Stev ens in Ills Congressional aspirations, but we have never thrown mud at him, nor alluded to him in unparliamentary terms. The papers of the district sup porting his oandldncy have been fair enough to aocord this distinction to the Hkbai.d In the discussions that we have had with them durlngthe present remarkable campaign, and we regret that Mr. Stevens himself has now placed himself In a position to invite, in retort, a resort to billingsgate. There is but little In Mr. Stevens’ letter for the Hkrami to notice, nnd wo would probably have given It to the publlo without a word of comment or criticism If It were not for a state ment that lie makes which Is calcula ted to mislead fair-minded people when viewed in the light in which Mr. fd evens presents It. He soys that the Worth county mass meeting on the Otli of June which selected delegates for him to the Congressional conven tion also “selected delegates to.the Senatorial convention which mot nnd nominated lion. W. E. Wooten, and to other conventions, without opposition.” This la (rue, but Mr, Stevens lias omit ted testate in this connection that, the meeting on tile (Ith of JuflD was Oft lieu for I lie purpose of electing delegates to the Senatorial add State conven tions, but not for (be purpose of elect ing delegates to the Congressional convention. Not nntyhedlhc election of Congressional delegates not been mentioned in I lie cull for this meeting, but It had been recommended by a pre vious mass meeting, and had been ac cordingly determined by tho Execu tive Committee of the County, to order n primary on the Doth of duly, In com pliance with tin* recoin in cm! utlOp of the Executive Committee of the dis trict, for tlm elec!ion of delegates to the Congressional convention; hut when tile crowd gathered (lie Alliuticc- meu and Stevehsites, including a mini- 1 her of Third I’nrty men, found them-] selves in the majority and proceeded ; lo elect delegates to the Congressional j convention then and there. As the elootl&n’of delegates to the Congress ional convent ion was not set forth in I the call that linil been issued for this meeting, that .part of the proceedings which related to Congressional dele gates was Irregular and void, and only bad to be objeoted to by any respecta ble Mm her of Democrats to be set aside, while that which was done at the same meeting with reference to the Senatorial and State conventions was regular ami held good. Tile Dem ocratic Executive Committee of the county, after being purged of those of its members who bad gone over to the Third Party, evidently took tlio view that >e bore present of the mat ter; for they ordered the primary on tlio 80tli of July, and Russell carried tlio county by n largo majority. These are faots wlileli Mr. Stevens did not care to bring out. in Ills allu sion to Worth county, but they are facts all the same.'and put the Worth county ease in quite a different light from that in which tbe artful dodger and would-be martyr would have it appear. Mad ns be appears to have been when he sat himself down to commit the indiscretion of writing tbe letter which the IIkkai.d takes pleasure in laying before tbe people of the Second Congressional district, Mr. Stevens did not forget to appeal to the sympa thies and prejudices of all Alliance- men. This assumed martyrdom will catch some, but not all. Many of the best Allinncemen in the distriot are as true as steel to the old Democratic party, and have become thoroughly convinced that the organization of the political machine known as the Dis trict Alliance which met at Outhbert and nominated Mr. Stevens for Con gress was a great mistake. The move ment was one fraught, with dangers to the Democratic party wliiah many good Alliancemen and loyal Democrats aid not see at first; but they see them now, and are constrained to withdraw their sympathy from the Alliance po litical machine and its candidate. ■Aiiir < In an editorial headed “What the Alabama Election Mean's,” the Chlca- go Inter Ocean makes tbe following ifojqnflqtl, The bubble has burst. There is little ope for the People’s Party in the Jouth. The Alabama election clearly demonstrates this. The Alllanoeiiieu did not vote the Kolb ticket. Their State lecturer and several other State officers deserted Kolb, 'f he old cry of white supremacy was just as powerful against the new pplitlcal combination as It has ever been against the Repub licans. Western Republicans who had a leaning toward the movement to take the Alliance into National politics are now able to see how futile are the ef forts to break the solid South by such a combination. Southern Bourbons talk fair, but they vote as they shot. The destinies of this government can not be worked out along the Alliance line. Tile old political parties are to wage the battle and decide whether Majority or minority rule shall pre- Thk People's party in the West can only help those in favor of minority rule. Every vote for Weaver in Kan sas, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, or Il linois is a vote for Cleveland. The People’s party in the South is only a myth. The Alabama election has de monstrated this and that the new combination is only for use in the West to assist the Democrats. All tills comes nbout by our North ern contemporary mnking assertions in regard to things which it knows nothing about. The only correot state ment made by the Inter Ocean Is that political battles will always be fought out In the South between the two old parties. Hut the battle will always be an easy one, for the solid South will remain Democratic to the core. Hut our Republican contemporary has always delighted In making petty, false and malicious thrusts at the South and Southerners for desiring to maintain white supremacy. On this line we have only to sny the Inter Ocean is badly off. White supremacy will always be maintained, but the voice of the white people of the South Is raised agninst the infamies of the Republican force bill, with Its threat ening domination of Illiteracy nnd Re publicanism, anil In this they are up held by every consistent thinking man In the Union. But the most glaring IheOnsH- enoy In tlm Inter Ocenn’s article Is that in one paragraph it practically admits tliqt the Republi cans had a leaning towards the Third Party and Alliance' movements In llie hope that they would break the solid South. Stioh they have found by Ala bama's election cannot be done, nnd' now they falsely assert that the “new combination," as they call If, is "only for use in the West to assist Demo crats.” llali! It takes only a glance to see that the Third Parly noil Tim Republicans have time anil again made advances toward each other, anil If the “new combination” .l* | ( , assist anybody il will he the Republican* who have bill for their support, Ttnm add again llopnhlinm lenders in the South have atlviseil their followers to vole tile Third Parly ticket, lint they have ai'complisheil nothing, nor will they. Republican fraudulent promises of brilliant Impossibilities may lure many wayward Third Partyiles into llielr column, but the loyal Demnernls of I lie South and West always have fought the Third Party movement, nnd tail I continue to do so totlie biller end, Eel our contemporary investigate another time before making such con fident assertions.

He’d better stay at home where he’ll need votes, thau to go to the Third, where there is absolutely no chance to defeat Crisp. Hon. Seab Wright, of Borne, has written a letter in which he repudiates election in Third Party for advances made him, and the insinuations against his political record, lie says he has al ways Voted the Democratic ticket and always will, and will never enter into politics except as n straightout Demo crat. Col. Joe Terrell has carried Berrien county for Attorney General. The race between two contestants is becom ing warm now, nnd no prediction can be made as to final results. Both Mr. Terrell and Mr. Glenn are popular throughout the Slate, and both ure able lawyers. Either would make a good Attorney General. The Bain bridge Democrat says: Russell has sixteen votes solid, in a necessary eighteen in the district Democratic convention, and requires only two more votes to secure the nomination. No greater triumph was ever seen of principle over passion. According to Mr. Berry McDaniel, of Baiubridge, the Third Party of the Second Congressional district will put out as their candidate for Congress one Alex R. Jones, of Thoinasville, fa miliarly known as “Grasshopper Jones,” of Thomasviiie. » » Mr. Watson will not be dealt with harshly for his malicious charges of drunkenness and disorder against the House. Mr. Boatner, chairman of the iiominittee to investigate the matter, has prepared his report, and it will be presented in the House to-day, It will simply state that the charges made by Mr. Watson were wilfully, maliciously and knowingly false, and censure will be passed. Jerry Simpson is on hand ready to prepare a minority report if the censure is made too severe, as if such a thing were possible under the circumstances. A. O. Bacon, John Bolfeuillet and Robert Hodges, Esq., of Bibb were nominated Thursday for the legisla ture in Bibb county. 4 It comes from headquarters that the Republicans will not put out a State ticket, nor will they endorse the Third Party. The only part they will take in the campaign will be to run Harri son electors. General Adlai E.Stevenson lias been Invited to speak at the Democratic State rally in Atlanta on the nth. This will be the opening of the campaign in the Slate, and Gen. Stevenson says if it is possible for him to bn there he will come. Tlie halls of Congress are now de serted, nnd almost all of the Repre sentatives have taken their departure from Washington to the scenes of their respective campaigns, where they are battling for re-election. Everybody, Republicans ns well as Democrats, spoke in the highest terms of the work of Speaker Crisp, and among the number who went to hid liim good-bye was Tom Reed, of Maine, who heartily congratulated him on liis course as Speaker of the House. Nearly every Democrat said, as he bade the Speaker good-bye, “I am for you against anybody for Speaker next time.” * v # Since the defeat of Kolb in Ala bama, the Kolbites have been crying fraud, and claiming that they would elect a Legislature of their own to re dress Kolb’s grievances. In fact they have asserted that when the Legisla ture next meets there will be two sucli bodies. Such an attempt maybe made, but Alabama does not fear the result, for, according to the constitution .of the State, the Legislature cun meet no where except in the State House, un less in case of emergency. Tills will shut the Kolbites out in the cold, for only duly elected legislators, with proper credential.-*, will be admitted, and of course the majority of these will be Demoerats. .

In an interesting letter to a Georgia paper Mr. Sam Jones, who is evangel izing out West, writes an amusing po litical note on Mr. Sam Small’s pecu liar antics. He says: Politics art? getting mightily mixed in Georgia and really I It ml them a mixtry everywhere in my travels. I am bumfuzzled on Sam Small, if all re ports have any foundation.

The debate was a spirited one, and the opponents of the measure were strong in its denuncia tion; but the majority realized the necessity of the aid thus extended, and the bill was passed. A man passing the door of an ex press car asked a negro whose dog that was. He says, I don’t know, sir. nnd the messenger don’t know, anu the boss at the office don’t know, and tlie man asked the negro where the dog was going?. Jle did not know where he is gwine, and the messenger don’t know either, and de boss man at the office he don’t know. The dog has gnawed off’ his tag, and none of us knows whose dog he is, or where he is gwine. 1 fear sometimes Sam has gnawed his tag olf and nobody knows what he is, or where he is gwine. But Sam will get somewhere. If there is no other hole to come out at, he will come out at the one he went in at. I like Sam and I want him to do well for both worlds. In his “Idler’s Column” S^itli Clay ton of the Journn] t suggests that Ful ton county should have a Congress man of her own. Fulton has a popu lation of 100,000, and lie predicts that at the next census she will have a pop ulation large enough to give her the desired article. It is to be supposed, from previous actions, that the sur rounding counties will look on meekly nnd calmly and let Fulton do just as pleases. Chinamkn Jmve been the subject of no small amount of legislation during the last two years. Since the immigra tion of Chinese laborers has been pro hibited, a law has been passed, requir ing all Chinese laborers in the country to obtain residence certificates, and each one of them must file a copy of such certificate with his photograph,, with the government officials. A11 Chinese laborersjaundrymen included, who fail to do this by May 1898, will be bustled back to China in short order. Hon. T. J. Lyort, the Democratic candidate for the Legislature from Barlow, and A. J. Moore, a Third Partyite of Chattooga county, en tered into a novel agreement the other day. Mr. Moore asserted that the United States Senate had been Democratic since the war. Mr. Lyon, of course, contradicted him, and finally they both signed a paper agreeing that tlie one who was wrong in the matter should not speak from the stump again during the present campaign. It seems that Mr. Moore had gotten his in formation from some of Dr. Macune’s literature. Mr. Lyon went on his way rejoicing that he had shut up one Third Partyite’s mouth, at least during the present campaign. Together with the Pinkertons and other Carnegie officials,- II. C. Frick was arrested and charged with the murder of the laborers who were killed in the Homestead riot. Frick was released on $10,000 bail, however, and Judge Ewing says in his opinion none of these men can be held for murder, at least not in the first degree. Thk Thomasviiie News is no more. The announcement is made in yester day’s issue that the publication of the paper is discontinued. One of the rea sons assigned for stopping the paper is l hut there is “iio money in running I it,” and another is that the labor nee- i essary to keep the paper up to the high pressure standard it had adopted, was making a physical wreck of its editor. Other reasons are also brought in, incidentally, but they might as well have been omit ted; for the public will read ily grant that the two first named were sufficient. The News was short lived, but it probably fulfilled its mis sion. it was the organ of Candidate .Stevens, the nominee of the Alliance political mnehine-of this Congressional district, and as that gentleman’s race has been practically run and lost, he has no more use for a daily newspaper. Albany will have a big- Democratic rally on the night before' the conven tion meets. This hns about been decided, anty everybody interested should by alu means make it a point to be here. This occasion will be almost as big a thing as tlie convention Itself, and the air for miles around will ring with Democratic eloquence. It is probable that all tbe best speakers in tl;e dis trict will be here on that night, and instead of political discussions In street-corner groups, the-entire crowd will be entertained at the Court House. Hon. Ben E. Russell will oertainly be here, while Cols. IV. N. Spence and W. M. Hammond are booked for the ocoasion, and an effort will be made to get several other well-known Demo cratic orators of the distriot. A SrKCIAL TRAIN. A special train will bring large numbers up from Bainbrldge, and will collect the orowd from all points of the counties through which it passes. Russell’s home oounty will send up one of the largest delegations which will be present at the convention, and the other counties along the line will furnish their full quota of the Demo-^ crats who are coming up. I.OW RATKS. Although Mayor Gilbert tins not yet beard from nil the railroad officials to whom be has wrlteen, It is probable (lint they will comply with his request. The S., F. & TV. has agreed to give a rate of less than one fare for the round trip from Thoinnsvlllo and Thomas county. The rate offered is $1.25, round trip, which will bring a large < crowd from that section. No arrange-O incuts linve yet been made for n speoial 1 from TTiomasville, but it. may be done before the date of tlie convention. This would give the crowd an oppor tunity or attending the rally on the Kith, as the Bnlnbrldge contingent will do, without being compelled to reinniii over two nights. I.arge crowds from Dougherty and the surrounding counties will surely be on linnd, and quite an ovation will be tendered Mr. Russell. Everybody Is in favor of the rally, ami it is now almost a settled tiling. It will be a great send-off for Hon. Hen E. Russell, and when the conven tion meets next d'tfy Ills name will go through with a rush. T.et everybody talk up the Denio- crattb rally for theltfth. It is now in dialer. A MIDNIGHT TIUII.

For the first time in several montlis'y tlie Hery-tmigued monster got in his ' work in the city on Saturday night, nnd tlie charred remains of a residence and it? furniture stand to-day to show the successful work of the destroying element. Exactly at 11:15 Saturday night tluw' lire alarm was sounded, and people rushed nut of their houses or .stuck their heads Old of windows to sec tlie ' heavans in the southwestern portion of the city brightly illuminated. The fire proved to he in tlie resi dence of Mr. I.ewis Price, on Broad street, next to Mr. TV. T. Cox’s home. The department was out in an in stant after the alarm was sounded, Thromiteeskn taking suction at the cistern by the Broad street well, and Defiance using tlie one at tlie corner*^ of Commerce and Madison streets. (1 Defiance threw first water and was quickly followed byjl'liroiiateeska, but the llamcs had then gained good head way, and it was impossible to save any of .the building intact. Eagle No. did not take suction on account of an insufficient supply of hose, but the Ilook and I,adder company did some commendable work in pulling down all the walls of the burning dwelling, so that at least half tlie timber in the building was saved. The house was occupied by Mr. * Lewis Price and family, and was the property of Mrs. Narcissus Cox. Mr. nnd Mrs. Price were absent from the city, and Messrs. J. H. and S. Prioe were at tlie S., F. & TV, depot, at work. There being no one'on the place when the fire broke out, the only furniture saved was in one of tlie front rooms. Tbe dwelling was insured for $400, and the Price family had $1075 on j their furniture and effects. It is not known how tlie fire originated, but when first seen it was in the roof near the kitchen and must have caught from an imperfect flue.
