To the Democrats belong the victory and the spoils thereof. To-day they are seated around the festive board, regal ing themselves with all the delieacies to be enjoyed by successful polioians, while the People’s party are not allow ed to even smell the delicious nroma 1 Ising from the stcnniiug viands. The People’s pnrty would starve if it was not for the plentiful supply of orow that they have heeq served with, but It Is a very tusteless, unsavory and un satisfactory dish, especially In Jan uary, though it is the best they can do, and they are eating It ns gracefully us possible. Ever since Inst March, when this trouble first hegnn, there has been war to the knife in old Worth, and though now the smoke of the last decisive battle has cleared away, yet it will he years before she ever recovers from the effects of it. Friendships have been broken, reln r .ives, even brolti ers and fathers and sons alienated,und the seeds of bitterness sown by Pickett and his minions liuve borne snob good fruit that, it will be years before they are reunited again, if ever. Although, when tlie tight first begun, tile Peoples’ Party wanted the earth and it fenced in and fried on one side, they have come out with the hole the bung was knocked out of. Tile inst eleotion was the closest and most hotly contested one of the three. It was the last rally, and they mnde a determined stand, dying at tlieir guns. They realized that their only chnnce for success lay in getting the Negro vote, and they placed in nomination one whom they knew could control it. And the result showed the wisdom, of their calculati(«i. All of the three Negro districts gave the Peoples’party ticket overwhelming majorities, and the white districts had to be almost solidly Democratic to overcome them, as they were three of the strongest dis tricts in the oounty. But the whites did their duty manfully, polling the largest vote ever known in the county, and electing the entire Democratic ticket by majorities ranging all the way from 180 to 250. The strongest men on both I lie tickets.were the can didates for Ordinary, W. J. Sumner, representing tlie Democrats,and Thos7 M. Lippitt, the Peoples’ pnrty. Of these two, Sumner headed the Demo cratic list with 889 votes, and Lippitt, the Peoples’ party, with 712; the others following^witli a few less. Lippitt, the defeated candidate, has been Or dinary for the past sixteen yenrs. ■The day was a very quiet one, there being only a few fisticuffs, and no serious difficulties, ns was feared at one time there would be, on account of (be bitter feelings engendered by the heated campaign of the past few months. Tile Eighth justly clulms to be the banner district of the county, not only because she gave the largest Democratic majority, but also because a Negro has never been known to cast a Third party ballot in that district. Thinking that the cost of building tile water-works system and the amount left to be expended on the Sewer system might be of some inter est to the people, a Herald reporter obtained a statement from the City Treasurer this morning. Tile sale of the bonds issued under an net of the Legislature netted fur the purpose of constructing these two systems,$99,427.48, which, in tile outset, wns thought to be sufficient to* do the work and leave.some over for putting on finishing touches, or furnishiug the house after It was bui.t, so to speak. Experience has shown, however, that the City Fathers have had a narrow escape, and that It wns only by the strictest economy and saving that they were enabled to carry out their original intentions. **Tlie water-works system as it is, or rather as it will be when the tower is completed, and everything is In tlrst- class running order amounts to just $(19,572.58. By fnr tlie largest amount, in fact nearly uno half of the entire cost of the system went for the Iron pipes used for mains. They cost $29,- 314.76. The labor oonneeted witli dig ging the ditches, laying tile pipes, eto., wns comparatively a very small item, amounting to only $7,022.98, while the remainder went for the pumping sta tion, hydrants, tower, eto. The cost of the tower complete is $0,857.60. Now, about tile sewers. That’s the important question just at present for they must he completed and paid’ for. Deducting tile amount expended on the waterworks from the revenue from the sale of the bonds, there is left $32,855.15 for tile construction of a system of sewerage, and tile question is, can it be put down aloqg the original lines for this amount of money, whloh is somewhat smaller than the original estimate made for the construction. This matter worried the Counoil for some time until a consultation jvas held with Mr. Jno. C. Chase, when he wbb here a few weeks ago. Mr. Chase said that the work could be oarried out along the original llnea with a few minor exceptions for that amount of money. This, however, will sewer only the business portion and princi pal residence portions of the city, but it does not include the sewer which is to be laid from the Broad street well to the river, as this is to be paid for out of the city treasury. The system will be a good one too. Some complaints were made sometime ago through the IIkhai.d against the slow progress of this work on the sewer ditches, as it was evident that the money would not hold out unless something wob done. Very few re. marks have been made in regard to the work in the past week or two, and it seems to have ploked up considera bly. Considering the amount of money expended, no city of the same size in the Souih has two better systems than will be our water-works and sewerage, Commissioner Nesbitt, of the State Agricultural Department, has just given to the press what is known as his “Monthly Talk with the Farmers.’’ The Commissioner thinks the plant ing of oOtton will be greatly stimu lated this year by the reoent rise in the market, and he soents danger. The planters, in his opinion, should con duct their business on a sound basiB and not be led awny by n mere up ward spurt of prices. He warns them against this peril, “A year ago," says Air. Nesbitt, “when ootton was at 0 cents you could soaroely meet a farmer who was not ready to ory out, ‘What’s the use of my planting ootton?’ Now when the price is in the neighborhood of 9 cents you can hardly moet one who isn’t Buying, ‘What’s the sense in planting corn?’ Last year the salea of fertilizers fell off nbout 83 per cent. 1 predict that tills year they will jump up again, nearly approximating the figures of the year before last all on ac count of tho recent rise in the value of cotton, and the consequent reaotion in the minds of the farmer ooncerning cotton planting, with whioh a year ago he felt bo nearly disgusted.” In ills monthly talk Mr. Nusliitt quotes the figures furnished by a well informed correspondent who has In vestigated tlie subject, going to show that, because of their short sales Inst year, the fertilizer inaiifaoturera in this section are how unable to to sup ply the demand whioh will open before them In the nenr future. The farmers will, therefore, be forced to buy, tills writer says, from the east. The rall- ronds will recover muoh of their lost business this year, it is assumed, from the increase of fertilizer shipments. Silks for next Summer are already appearing on the mid-winter counties in New York, and, necording to a gos- sippy woman’s column in the Times of that city they are especially pretty.

RANDOM NOTES. —Col. T. R. Ferry, formerly of Ty Ty, is now a citizen of Sylvester, nnd will probably run a hotel there during tlie present year. —There is a good deal of talk of con testing the election. The Peoples’ party are crying fraud, as usual, hut will hardly let their foolhardiness carry tItem into a contest. —A. J. Guyton, a young White man who moved to tills county from Miller last winter, was adjudged a lunatic yesterday, and sent to the asylum. He lias a wife tint, no children, nnd his case was a very pitiable one. —The following are the recently elected county 'officers, and tlieir ma jorities over tlieir Third party oppon ents. The total vote of the county was 1,700: Ordinary, W. .). Sumner, 177; Clerk, J..I. McDowell, no opponent; Sheriff, G. 8. Nelson, 200; Treasurer, R.. K. Young, 130; Collector. A. 1\ Smith, 251; Receiver, t). W. Graves, 247; Surveyor, W. Mathews; oner, Edward Eady. A good deal is being saiil about changing tlie present county site to Sylvester, although there will hardly be an election on it for over a year jet. There is but little doubt that when tlie election is held, the court house will go to that place, which won in the last election on that question several years ago. Most of the recently elected offi cers will locate there, it being only three miles from the present county site; nnd having the advantage of be ing an the railroad. II. From Monday’* Kvcnmg Herald. A number of Dougherty’s citizens nre very anxious to have tlie World’s Columbian Exposition closed to the public on Sundays. This morning Rev. E. B. Carroll had a petition which he wns circulating aiming the citizens rendingns follows To Ho.v. II. G. Turnrh, M. C.: We, the undersigned citizens of Dougherty county, most respectfully urge you to use your efforts in Congress in oppo sition to tlie ert'ort to open the gates of tlie World’s Columbian Exposition on the Sabbath' day for reasons which will be obvious to you. Very respect' fully, etc. Tlie petition is signed by many of the most prominent citizens in Alba ny, and Die concensus of opinion among them seems to be that tlie Fair should dose on Sunday. As is well known Congress appro priated $2,500,000 to tlie fair with the understanding that its gates be dosed on tlie Sabbath day. Since then, how ever, the directors have b r( > u ght for ward a number of arguments in favor of a Sunday opening, and an effort is to be made in Congress to have that From Friday's Kvknino Itr. tami. There wns a terrible accident at WayoroBs about 8:30 last night just as the 8, F. & W. froight wax about to leave the depot there for Thomasvtlle. The Herald got.the the story of the accident from n news butcher on the 8., F. & W., thlsmorning. The freight waa waiting for orders to move and was doing n little shifting of cars. There was a man on tlie opposite side of the train from the depot, who evidently wanted to get across some how or other, as it seemed he intended going off. Seeing no other way of crossing, he took up Ills grip and started under the train between two oars. He did not go under the eenter of a oar where he would have had room to escape, but between two cars where they are coupled together, and just as he did so the train gave a start, then stopped then moved on again. The ffrst start probably knocked him down. When found his body was entirely severed having been out completely in two just at the abdomen. Hia legs were also severed from a part of the trunk, and the only thing about him that was not damaged beyond recog nition was his head and face. The re mainder of the body was ground to pulp. Who be was no one seems to know, Evidently he was not a tramp, for he waa dressed neatly and had bis valise full of clean clothes. There was no card, note or letter about him, how ever, by which he could be identiffed, though he is supposed to have been a farmer from somewhere in that seot- tion who had just started oil' on a trip of some kind, and carlessly tried lo pass under a moving train by which lie lost his life.

The advisability pf endeavoring to have tlie last legisla ture appropriate n $10,000 pension to Mrs. Davis was discussed at length re cently, but It wns found that under the constitution this could not be done. W\s TO BE RAISED BY SUBSCRIPTION. Gov.

This work the governor’s Wednesday’s eleotion in Baker county was one of the Jivellest ever known there. There were two candi fates for several of the offices, aqd the contest was warm and stubborn from the time the announcements were made by the candidates till the polls closed Wednesday evening, There were very few difficulties, nnd as a general thing matters Were conducted in a very orderly manner.
