The Georgia Dental Society
met in annual convention in Dal

;
Hhn. Primus Jones is the dem
ocratic candidate for the legisla
ture from Baker county.
Within the last six months there
has been many millions of dollars
investedjin hew manufacturing in
dustries.
Judging from present indica
tions, there will be very few polit
ical speeches delivered in Georgia
this year.
Hon.- Allen G. Thurman, the
next vice-president, is making
some excellent democratic speech
es in the-northwest*
It is reported that there is a po
litical agitation in Cuba in favor
of the annexation of that island to
the United States.
IN a recent speech Mr. James
G. Blaine declared that “trusts”
are private affairs, with which no
one has a right to interfere.
Messes. T. E. Watson and J. T.
Graves-are the youngest men ever
put at the head of a presiden
tial electoral ticket in Georgia.
We are glad to note that Mr. B,
A. Nisbet, of Bibb county, has
been elected Secretary of the
Georgia State Agricultural So
ciety.

republican presidential campaign,

Harrison evidently thinks his
ehancesfor the presidency are not
first-class, judging from the large
number of campaign speeches he
has delivered.
The present Pope is extremely
aged, and. cannot long survive. It
is rumored as a probability that
an American Archbishop may be
the nextiPope.
Maj. Knapp and Mr. S^ G.
Hoge, of the Southwestern rail
road, will become officials of tbe
Georgia Southern railroad on the
1st of October next.
secretary of the society,
dent NorthSn has proven himself
emphatically the man for the posi
tion, and in preparing for the state
fair, he has left no stone unturned
that would show up something to
the benefit of th9 agricultural in
terests of Georgia. In this he will
be most cordially and energetical
ly seconded by Secretary Nisbet,
and if the two fail to enthuse the
people in behalf of ' the coming
state fair; we will be ready to cry
enough, and advise the discohtin;
nance of state fairs.
But they will not fail, assisted
as they are by able farmer officers
of the society m every congres
sional district of the state. The
fair managers are entitled to the
complete confidence of our people,
and this will surely call out ex
hibits of superior merit from all
sections of the state: The several
county exhibits that surely will be
shown, guarantee a most excellent
agricultural display, and the other
industries cannot afford to be left
out. The indications are that the
fair next fall will be the best
held in Georgia.
It will be worth seeing,and every
exhibit, if meritorious, will win its
own reward.

Secretary Fairchild has direct
ed that all bonds purchased by
the government- since the 1st of
Jnly^shall be applied to the pur
poses of the sinking fund. The
estimated requirements or that
fund for the present fiscal year
are 847,S50,000, and the secretary
proposes to meet them, if possible,
by the purchase of bonds made
under the terms of the circular of
April 17th.
Oue people should not forget
that- at the next Georgia state
election an amendment to the con
stitution will be submitted to the
people.- This amendment provides
for the addition of two new judges
to the state supreme court. There
are now three supreme court
judges, and if the amendment
passes there will be five. This

Eepbesentative Beeckenbidge,
of Arkansas,- has introduced in the
House of Bepresentatives five spe
cial tariff bills, intended to correct
the “trust” abuses that are made
possible by the protective feature
of tho present tariff laws.
It has been suggested that a joint
debate on tbe tariff question be
arranged between Speaker Car
lisle and Mr. Blaine, to take, place
in twelve of the principle cities,
each speaker to select six. The
suggestion is favored by demo
crats throughout the country, as
they are confident the result of
such a debate would be beneficial
to the democratic party. Mr. Car
lisle is willing.
Nine of the ten congressmen
now representing Georgia will bere-
t le it-ed next November. This will be
a record not equalled by any other
state in the Union—ten democrat
ic congressmen, and nine of them
almost unanimously nominated for
re-elSbtion. In her congressional
delegation, Georgia has just cause
of feeling proud. There is states
manship in the' old land yet.
Congbessman McKinly, of Ohio,
left Washington last Saturday
night for Atlanta, in response to an
invitation to deliver a speech at
the Piedmont Chatauqna Tuesday,

Mr. Lewis, all republicans. Mr.
Grady, the Chatauqna chief, cer
tainly should have been one of the

How many pears will it be before a
candidate’s war record will cease to be
discussed? The veterans are rapidly pass
ing off the stage. Twenty years from
now a man who entered the war at the'
age of twenty will be sixty-eight years
old, almost teo old to ran for office. It
is safe to say that twenty-five years from
now no candidate'will be Judged by his
war record, because he will have none,
unless another war should break out
within that period.—Atlanta Constitu
tion.
Two years ago the Constitution
was in the fore-front of the cam
paign vigorously using the war
record of a candidate as its chief
campaign slogan. Yerily, circum
stances alter cases. This year the
Constitution opposes the re-elec
tion of Senator Colquitt, whose
war record is first-class.

Jasper county News: Dr. Wil

including pensions, reported in
bills to congress'this year aggre

cess of 864,054,730 over the appro

estimated revenues of the govern
ment for 1889 aggregate $440,-
563,734. It is said, however, that
the appropriations to be passed
will be about $5,000,000 less than
the above figures. This will make
the estimated revenues of 1S89
about $17,000,000 in excess of the

within the gates -of Exposition
Park. The premiums and purses
are remarkably liberal* aggrega-
ting 815,000, and so divided that
the competition will be interesting
and attractive; both to the exhibit
or and the visitor. Months of
elaborate and costly preparation
have resulted in the finest grounds
and the finest group of buildings
,for exposition purposes ever seen
in this section, and the business
men of Columbus are giving their
time and energy to the success of
the enterprise. The entries al
ready received from the leading
counties of Georgia and Alabama
promise a magnificent display of
figrieultnral products.
The Lowell of the South* with
her manufactures, and the Pitts
burg or the South, with her ores,
will equally interest the student of
the New South. The citrus fruits
of Florida will serve as a foil for
the coal and iron of North Alaba
ma, and the Art Exhibition will
contain paintings of national rep
utation.
The magnificent group of ex
hibits will be fully equalled by an
unparalelled list of amusements.
An inter-state military encamp
ment and drill, in which the best
Southern companies are already
entered, will occur, on the first two
days of the Exposition. The fast
est horses in the country will be
seen on the Columbus track, pro
nounced by every one the finest in
the South. Music of the highest
order has been engaged. Elabo
rate programmes for Shot-gun, Bi
cycle and Tilting contests have
been arranged. The largest bal

parachute jump, and the display
of fireworks will be a revelation
From the opening day, when the

Governors of Georgia, Alabama

day’s programme will be complete
with all that goes to make up a

carloads of watermelons; this year
her shipments have amounted to
7,050 carloads. It is estimated
that the farmers clear 3 per cent.,
while the railroads get $800,000 as
freight, and the commission men
