Clifford Anderson for j such excellent hands; CoL Estill is one of the ablest and best news- • A FIRE in Chattanooga, Tenn., last Thursday night , destroyed property to tho value of $340,000, and several lives were lost.- Mr. Jacob Hass, of Atlanta, has been elected president of the Atlanta and Florida railroad, to succeed Col. J. N. Dunn, recently deceased. ThE labor question in Georgia IS becoming a problem difficult of solution. This is especially the case with farm labor and house hold help. The city authorities of Macon, have quaranteed against J ackson- viile, thought last week refugees from the fever stricken city were cordially invited to Macon. “Within the past several days valuable- public documents have been received at this office, for which wp extend our sincere thanks to Hon. C. F. Crisp. .Two years hence Hon. James H. Blount will be a prominent facter in the Georgia gubernatorial cam paign, though he may be one of many candidates for governor. Extravagant claims will not serve the democratic party in the present presidential campaign near so well as earnest efforts to convert voters to the democratic faith. The recent “trust” that resulted in a considerable increase in the price of bagging, is- an outrage upon tho cotton planters of the country, without any justification Whatevert. The ablest delegation in con gress represents Georgia, and probably the mort capable of our ten Representatives are James H. Blount, Chaxles F. Crisp and Hen ry G. Turner. ThE Central railroad of Georgia recently placed an order for the construction of 27 new locomotive engines. Arrangements are also being made for the building of several hundred more freight oars. It is the next thing to an as sured fact that Col. Jesse A. Glenn, of Dalton, will be the re publican candidate for governor of Georgia. He hasjeonsented to make the race, bufcsays-lie does not expect to be elected. Hon- James G. Blaine' reached New York last Friday, from liis European trip. He was enthu siastically welcomed by prominent republicans. He had been absent about fourteen months. Blaine-is undoubtedly the most. popular man in the republican party. It is certainly mortifying to the republicans of Indiana that ex- Gov. Porter refused to accept their nomination for governnv Representative Hovey, a congress man without political prominence, is the nominee. The democrats in congress are well pleased with the condition of political- affairs in Indiana. Attorney General. In response to his unanimous nomination, when called upon, Gov. Gordon returned liis thanks to the convention in a short speech replete with gratitude and patriot ism. The resolutions adopted are in strict accordance with that genuine democracy that demands a fair re daction of federal taxation on the necessaries of life. The following presidential elec tors and alternates were chosen: For the state at large: Thomas E. Watson, of McDuffie, John T. Graves, of Floyd; alternate, J. B. Siltnan, of Jackson, A. R. Lawton, Jr., of Chatham. First District—J. A. Brannon, of Emanuel; alternate,- B. Whit field, of Glynn. Second District—A. L. Hawes, of Decatur; alternate, Arthur Hood, of Randolph. Third District—T.

Flake, of DeKalb. Sixth District—R. D. Smith, of Crawford; alternate, E- E- Pond, of Butts. Seventh District—M. L. John son, of Bartow; alternate, T. C. Milner, of Gordon. Eighth District—J. T. Jordan, of Hancock; alternate, W. B. Wingfield, of Putnam. Ninth District—H. W. Newman, of Cherokee; alternate, R. H. Baker, of LumpkiD. Tenth District—E. H. Calloway, of Bnrke; alternate, J. H. Mitchell, of Washington. STATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE; The following were reported by the various districts as members of the state executive committee for the next two years. First District—G. A. Mercer,- of Chatham, and G. J. Holton, of AppliDg. Second District—W. A. Harris, of Worthj®und W. C. Worrell, of Randolph. Third District—T. F. WatsOn, of Lee, John McRae, of Montgom ery; Fourth District—C. A. Redd, of Muscogee, and R. S. Freeman, of Coweta. Fifth District—R. S. Walker, of Walton, and W. F. Patillo, of De- Kalb.

L. Philips, of Jefferson. The chairman of the convention was made ex-officio chairman of the committee, and authorized to appoint four members from the state-at-large. paper managers in Georgia, and he is quite popular with the edi tors of the state, and all others whojenow him well. We under stand he has bought the Telegraph as a business venture, and we are sure he will keep it tip to the high est democratic standard, andmain- tain it as a powerful lever to ele vate the bast business interests of Macon, and .the entire state of Georgia. May Mr. Estill reap a rich reward through the Tele graph. We understand the edito rial force will remain unchanged for the present. The combination of bagging manufacturers that has resulted Id the outrageous advance in the price of standard bagging for cot ton, has brought about a discus sion that may result in a substi tute for the covering! of cotton bale3 now universally used. Sov- eral suggestions have already been made, all looking to the use of a cotton fabric as a substitute for bagging. It may be tod late to utilize these suggestions- this season, and it is probable thatjjjthe power that controls the price of cotton will take sides with the bag ging factories, and decide that cotton is merchantable only when covered by such bagging as is now- used. However, the outrage now practiced upon the cotton growers may result in good, and the farm ers may combine in their own de fense and assert the power that justly belongs to them. There is much that could be said in favor of cotton covering for cotton bale?. Bettor Pay Needed. Mb. Editor: The killing of the negro, Frank Daniels, recently, near Mr. G. M. Feagin’s, has sug gested to my mind the propriety of calling the attention of our law makers to the injustice that is done one of our humblest and most poorly paid officers, the con stable. Now, the other night, when it was dark and raining, Constable R. G. Watson went some seven miles from his home for the purpose of trying to make the ar rest of the murderer, Sam Wood ard, he well knowing the fact that if he succeeded in making the ar rest that he would not get jane cent for it. Georgia, the Empire State of the South, requires its constables to take an oath that thdy will use diligence in trying to make - arrests, and then after saying what their fee shall be, A way to fight the bagging trust is suggested by Maj. J. F. Hanson through the Macon Telegraph.. This suggestion is in reply to a letter from Mr. S. T. Hurst, of near Perry.. Had wo noticed Mr, Hanson’s letter earlier, it would have appeared in the Home Joubnal this week. He suggest ed a substitute for bagging, to be used on all cotton to be sold to home factories. W„e will publish the latter next week. Yellow fever has become epi demic at Jacksonville, Fla. The first case’was reported on Wednes day of last week, and since then all who could get away have left the city. All that eoulcl bo clone to prevent the- spread of the dis ease Fas been arranged,- and cities that fear the disease on account of their location, have quarantined against Jacksonville. Government surgeons, assisted by. local physi cians, are doing, all in their power to suppress the disease, and a camp In the next Georgia Assembly there will be six representatives and two senators from the Macon - judicial circuit.

There are about 1,000 Jacksonville ref uges in Atlanta, and about two hundred in Macon. These in Macon arrived before that city quarantined against Jacksonville. -s-oo-. TY Senator Colquitt’s tariff speech has been extensively cir culated in every state in the ($1.25,) comes oat and refuses to pay the officer after the work is done, bat says that he must make a levy on the property of the pris oner for costs, when nine out of every ten prisoners have nothing to levy on. Now, such laws are injurious to our country, j As a general rule, when a man has to do hard and dangerous work, knowing that he will get no compensation for it, his work is rather slack. He can not take such interest in it as he would if he knew that he would get pay for it. Now, Mr. Editor, what I think would be just and right would be for the monies arising from the lease of convicts,- to be sent back to the county that the convicts came from, and let that money be applied to pay the insolvent costs. As it is now, the'conn ties that are in the black belt, have to be taxed to convict a criminal, and then tbe counties that are in the white belt of the slate get as much of the lease money as we do,* when we have all the expense to bear. The officer that performs the la bor in making the arrest and bringing the criminal to justice, should have his fees out of the hire of the convicts first, and then let the remainder go to the county to pay other court costs, etc.- More anon.- Liberality. A Literary Exhibit. As in these days of newspapers and magazines the intelligence of a people is judged by the extent and character of their reading, the Commissioner of the Georgia Bu reau of Immigration has decided to make a special exhibit in liis car of the newpapers and other pe riodicals published in Georgia, believing that they will compare favorably with those of any other state in the Union. He therefore requests the publishers of the state to' send him a sample’ copy of their publications by tho 20th day of August, and hopes for a prom pl ane! full response, ns he would not willingly omit a single publica tion.
