There is much. politics in all questions now considered-. The Alliance convention failed to elect a ne wspaper organ, though the Advocate, published at Monte zuma, went into the convention with the support of 43 Counties out of 70 represented. The ques tion was postponed. . m * Tori Georgia Chatauqua was formally organized at Albany last week, with Hon. Nelson Tift as president. Grounds have been purchased, and suitable buildings mil be erected, a corps of teach ers secured, and a splendid pro -gramme arranged in time for‘ the opening of-the first session next summer. t to President ess a mes- tbe best blic papers ever written by any The Alliance Convention. President of the United States, j ‘order is a'seeret one,and though the The message concerns peculiarly | general purpose of the convention the fisheries question, and general- j was known to be to devise ways iy the commercial relations exist-i and means to advance the material It is reported that President 'Cleveland has contributed $10,000 to the democratic campaign fund, and that the contributions of the cabinet officers and his other im mediate personal friends aggre gate $150,000. It seems probable , that there will be a democratic '‘barrel” this year, and that the' expense's of the campaign will be paid in cash. It is well. The last quarterly report of State Treasurer Hardeman shows that on the 30th of June last the treasury of Georgia contained a net balance of $383,519.52. From the first of April to June 30th, the disbursements have amounted to $747,854.83. The outstanding bonded debt amounts to $8,753,- -385.00. No part of the taxes for 1888 has yet been paid. The Macon Evening News says a gentleman from Twiggs county, one from Houston, and two of the City of- Macon, have leased Adam’s Park, on the East Ten nessee Virginia and Georgia rail road, which will be devoted to melon culture, The tract em braces 800 acres, and it is expect ed that 250 car loads op melons Will be shipped from it. next sea-- Son. It is.probable that the Coving ton- & Macon railroad will not be built to Athens, as projected, but it will go to ElbertOn instead. . It appears that the city and citizens of Athens refused to make good certain promises in favor of the .road, and Col. Machen, as well as the officers of the road, declares that it shall not go to Athens un less the contract, as understood by the railroad authorites, is com plied with. ing between the United States and Canada. The message was the outgrowth of the fact that the senate had just rejected a reciprocal treaty that had been arranged by a joint commission of Englishmen and citizens. Of the Untted States. This proposed treaty was intend ed te adjust all differences between the countries hamed, especially Concerning the rights of fishermen respectively fishing in the waters under the control of the two gov ernments. The oripinal treaty had lapsed, and complaints to the effect that United States fishermen had been unjustly treated in Can adian waters by officials of that country, called for official adjust ment of their insulted rights. In rejecting the proposed treaty, the republican senate failed' to suggest any other method for the settlement of the differences. Thereupon President Cleveland wrote his message; declaring that he would by retaliation maintain the rights of our citizens. Or, in other words, if our citizens were refused free commerce in Canada, Canadians should be fed out of the same spoon. In order that this purpose may be accomplished with the least disadvantage to our citi zens, Mr. Cleveland asks Congress for more power than the existing law gives. The democrats in the House commend the message in the highest-terms, and declare that President Cleveland shall have full power in the premises. Re publicans do not commend the message in very high terms, though they do not discredit its strength. They pretend that it is unnecessary, and that it is merely a measure to captnre a certain class of votes in the coming elec tion. It would require greater space than we have at command to give eyen a synopsis of the message, therefore we will not- make the at tempt. • In retaliation for the refusal by Canadian officials to allow oiir fishermen to land on Canadian soil and send, overland their fish to the United States, it is proposed positively to refuse a like privilege to Canadian fishermen, and to re fuse any merchandise intended for Canada to be landed here and thence forwarded overland to Can ada.- The message is indeed a strong one, and shows_ clearly the hand and brain of a statesman, and the power he asks for will be so used as to uphold the rights and digni ty of our citizens. The measure is the last resort to obtain justice, and it will no doubt win for Presi dent Cleveland the allegiance of many who have hitherto been re publicans. Mr. Cleveland simply proposes to do his duty fearlessly, nevertheless his message will prove greatly beneficial to the democrats. Elko Dots. ♦ -The Piedmont Chatauqua, at Salt Springs, Ga., was closed for the season last Tuesday night, the closing address being delivered by Mr. Henry W. Grady. So far as the educational features, lectures and amusements are concerned, the Chatauqua has been a suc cess. "\Ye are unable to say any thing about its financial status. The Chatauqua will be opened again next summer. Os® of the most successful manufacturing enterprises in Geor gia is the Griffin chair factory. This factory makes an average of three hundred chairs per day,'and the entire output is sold as rapidly as placed upon the market. Very little drumming is reported to, and the demand in only three states eannot .be supplied. There is am ple room for other chair factories in Georgia-. Yellow fever is increasing at Jacksonville.: Tuesday 21 new cases were reported, and 3 deaths. Monday night concluded one month since the first case appeared, and the record up to Tuesday night shows a tots! of 128 cases, and 19 deaths. More rigid quar antine regulations aTe being en forced in unaffected cities, in Florida and Georgia, and refugees find difficulty in getting away from Jacksonville and other infected cities,- except to quarantine •lamps.- Elko is on a boom. Three car loads of lumber haye been hauled down, for the purpose'of erecting a depot. Elko is certain to be a thriving town. Cotton is being shipped from this point nearly every -day. Mrs. A. A. Jeter and daughter have returned from atrip to Brunswick. Mr. W. T. McCormick, of Brunswick, who had been spending a few days with his parents, re turned Home Monday. Come again, Will.

Lumber for Sale. As our readers know, the Geor gia State Farmers’ Alliance met in Macon Tuesday of last week. The session'eoniinued three days. The - interests of our farmers, very little that was done has been given to the public. Hon. R. H. Jackson and most of the other officers of the order were re-elected. Of the Alliancemen and their order; the Macoh Evening News says: "The Alliancemen express them selves as well pleased with the re sults of the meeting, and say great good will flow therefrom and the agricultural interests of the state will be greatly benefited. Most of the delegates have returned home. Secretary Burks and a few others have spent the day in Macon closing up certain detail's. They will leave to-night oi in the morn ing. It is not generally known that, the Alliance allotted from the treasury of the order one dollar per day for board and one cent for each mile travelled to and from the convention. As the Hotel Lanier was the headquarters of the Alliance, and gave the dele gates reduced rates* and the rail roads transported them at one cent per mile, the. delegates were not here on heavy expenses. In fact the trip to Macon was not only one of business, but it proved summer vacation at but little cost. Cashier Calmness of the Ex change bank paid ont to the order of the proper officers of the Al liance $2,000 to be distributed among the members in payment of board and mileage. From this it would .appear that the Alliance is in a good sound financial condition. Manager Crawford, of the Hotel Lanier, says he never entertained a more gentlemanly set of men, and they in turn were very complimentary to Manager Crawford for his ex cellent treatment of them. They went away well pleased with Macon. Among the resolutions adopted were the following, offered by A. T. Pope, of Oglethorpe county. Whereas the bagging trust which is now seeking to so wickedly op press the farmers of the cotton states in the article of bagging and other articles of consumption, Resolved, That' the Farmers’ Alliance of Georgia hold their cotton in the seed, so far as prac ticable, until the oppression.sought to be put upon them is broken,and urge all cotton farmers and Al liancemen of other states, and other parties that are being op pressed by this combination, to unite with us against these trusts and combinations that are so wick edly oppressing ns; Resolved, That these resolutions be given to the press for publica tion. The following resolutions by L. F. Livingston, of Newton county, were adopted and telegraphed to all the leading papers: Resolved, That the thanks of this, the Georgia State Alliance be, and are hereby tendered the Hon. Breckenridge, of Arkansas, Morgan, of Mississippi, Simmons, of North Carolina, and others now moving in our national congress looking to the relief of eotton planters from the oppression and wicked conduct of the bagging trust. Last Saturday about one hun dred people assembled to witness a base ball game between tbe Henderson and Vienna clubs. The Vienna club came up with their friends on the G. S. & F. road, and disembarked at Elko station, about three mile3 from Henderson. Near the pool about half a mile south of Henderson the ball ground is located, and there an excellent picnic dinner, abundant for double the crowd, and good enough forfanybody, was fully en joyed at noon. Directly after dinner the game was called, and for about an hour and a hair ihe clubs claimed tbe closest attention of the spectators-. The game , was won by the Henderson club by a score of 16 to 9.
