Farmers i:: tls<; Lead. The Georgia Dental Society met in annual convention in Dal ton yesterday. ; 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. Blain Eis thee hief issue in the republican presidential campaign, and the people will repudiate him in November next as they did four years ago. s -0-0-# 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. amount of bonds pur- fo date under the circular Presi- of April 17, 833,297,900, of which 822,762,600 are 4 per cents, and 816,535.300 are 4£ per cents. The cost of these bonds wa6 $28,941,- 928 for 4’s, and 811,331,354 for 4Js, a total of 840,283,283. 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 Question rests with the people, The politicians will do all they can in favor of the amendment, and already there are several can didates for the judgeships that may be created, ——f-O-4— Six different conventions of as sociations connected with railroad ing will be held .at various cities Hi in the United States month of September. during the Thebe will be republican candi dates for the legislature in several Georgia counties, and in the fifth district there will be a republican candidate for congress. la? is announced that Mr. Joseph Pulitzer, proprietor of the New York-World, will soon begin the publication of a daily newspaper in Washington Oity. The rush is over, but there are enough young watermelons in Georgia to fill about a hundred ears, that will be shipped north ward two or three weeks later. TfiE subscription price of tb Macon Telegraph will-be increased to $9 per annum on September 1st, All who pay in advance on or before' that date will get the paper for §7. ' c—O—< Deports to tbe agricultural de partment show that the profits on melon culture in. Georgia, up to August 1st, are 17 per cent, less this season than were . shown by the reports last year. North Carolina. The attendance is satisfactorily full, and measures pertaining to the interest of agri culture only will be discussed. 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, the 21st. He was escorted by ex- Gov. Bullock, CoL E. A. Buck, and Mr. Lewis, all republicans. Mr. Grady, the Chatauqna chief, cer tainly should have been one of the escorts. A prohibition state convention was recently held at Greensboro, North Carolina, a third party or ganized, and a state ticket nomi nated. However, one of'-the prom inent nominees refused to accept, and withdrew from the party in favor of democracy. It is not. be lieved that the third party in North Carolina can survive the shock. Yellow fever still prevails at* Jacksonville, and other cities in Florida. In Jacksonville there had been forty eases and seven An inter-state farmers’ conven- deaths up to last Monday night, tion is now in session at Raleigh, Infected parts <§f the city have a ic " rpL~ » n i , -» -* been practically depopulated, and everything possible is being done to crush out the disease. Fumi gation is the chief reliance. A TESKiFie storm of wind and rain prevailed on the gulf coast last Sunday.. and Monday. The cities of New Orleans and Mobile- suffered especially, and several lives were lost. The loss of prop erty amounts to hundreds-of thous ands of dollars.-- —— The report from the agricultu ral department of Georgia, issued j The Georgia Farmers’Alliance on August 1st, places the coadi- j y.-.. -. in contention at Macon Tues- tio& of the cotton crop of the state dag mid yesterday. We 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 liam Eoberts, formerly a Jasperite, now of Hayneville, Houston coun ty, came up by the Georgia South ern to Macon and then bv the C. & M. to this place, /ffhere he will will spend several days with his relatives and old friends. The Dr. says it is some pleasure to make a Visit now. He can leave home at 9 o’clock in the morning have three hours time in Macon, and arrive hera by 6 o’clock in the evening. Before this it was a three days ride by private convey ance. The appropriations for expenses of the United States government, including pensions, reported in bills to congress'this year aggre gate 8428,269,520. This is an ex cess of 864,054,730 over the appro priations of Inst year. The total 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 expenses of the government. the 1 of , and the enjoyment and instruction that will be offered 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 loon in the country will make as censions* together with thrilling parachute jump, and the display of fireworks will be a revelation From the opening day, when the parade wii.l be reviewed by the Governors of Georgia, Alabama and Florida, to the closing, each day’s programme will be complete with all that goes to make up a great Exposition. - - ©—«6-r- Thjs seews o be emphatically a season of conventions. In 1887 Georgia shipped 4,946 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 $470,000. Altogether, it is claim ed that the crop, directly and indi rectly, iB worth 8600,000 a year to Georgia* the entire valuation being at $1,500,000.—Macon Telegraph. The Charleston News and Courier says: Congressman Mc Kinley has proved himself to be tbe true leader of his party this this year. While Mr. Blaine and Mr. Harrison and the rest are sailing gaily up Salt river, Mr.. Me Kinley has taken a short cut and reached the source of that classic stream by rail. The Atlan ta Chatauqna is held at the Salt Springs, near that city. He goes to the source. An international convention of the Young Men’s Christian Asso ciation met at Stockholm* Sweden, last Saturday, and' adjourned Tuesday.. There were in the con vention representatives from near ly evory civilized country — 38,000 associations.. There are about 800 associations in America, an increase of about 50 per cent, within the past four years. at 89* against S8 on same date last year. The corn crop is placed at 35* against 91 last year.
