The Chattahoochee Valley Ex position opened at Columbus yes terday, Wednesday November 5th. The organization of the Georgia legislature may indicate the United States Senator to be elected next Wednesday. On Monday night it was claimed that the House of Representatives of the 52d congress would be dem ocratic by a majority ranging from 5 to'44 The first prize for the best coub- . ty display of products grown in the county was awarded to Hancock county, at the State Fair last week. Talbot county received second price. The Mexican government is anx ious for commercial reciprocity with the United States, and if this is not obtained, heavy tariff duties will be placed on all of our prod-, ucts entering that aountry. Col. John W. Robins, of Talbot county, was accidently killed on the fair grounds at Macon last Sat urday, by the falling of a heavy pole that was being used in hold ing a balloon while it was inflated.- The hope of a democratic presi dent in 1892 will become exceed ingly slim if the final count of Tuesday’s votes should fail to give the democrats a good majority in the next House of Representatives. Wm. O’Brien and John Dillon, the Irish Home-BULE agitators, who were under boud to the English government, on the charge of in citing riot, eluded the officers and landed on United States soil at New York last Sunday. The friends of Gov. Gordon claim that there has been a reac tion in his favor within the last ten days, and that nis election to the United States Senate is now practically assured. vA.ji / v ——— +-0^4 A committee of Hacon citizens will soon propose to the State Ag- -ricultural Society the formation of a joint stock company to hold fairs at Macon annually, the stock to be equally divided between citizens of Macon and the agricultural so ciety. Cai-t. Sneed, a lieutenant and two privates of the Gate City Guard have beeu suspended for at tempting to secure by bribery the programme of the late inter-state drill, under which the company competed for prize money. They will be court-martialed. It is claim ed that Capt. Sneed is innocent of tbe charge. Gov. Hill, of New York, has demanded a recount of the census of New York City, whereat Secre tary Noble became angered, and wrote a salty open letter to Gov. Hill.' Doubtless this disagreement will cause further letters, to the edification of the public, and per haps a fair and full count may bo given New York. —Our merchants have had very little trade for the past two weeks i account of the fairs. They will ue to feel the falling off for come. Now 1of = The congressional elections last Tuesday determined the complex ion of the House of Representa tives of the 52d congress. So far we cannot say positively what the result is. In- Georgia there was a contest in every district, except in the 6th and 8th. Messrs J. H. Blount and T. G. Lawson were elected without opposition. It is certain that R. E. Lester was elected over M. J. Doyle, republican. In the second district Turner easily befeated his republican opponent, Wm. Matti son. Crisp won easily in . the third over Gibson, the negro aspirant. The democrats of the fourth gave Moses a fair majority over Walter JohnsoD.- Livingston was elected in the 5th over Haight, by about 5,000 majority. In the seventh Everett had double opposition, Felton inde pendent, and Hargrove republican Everett elected by a good plurality. The same condition existed the ninth, Pickett independent and Darnell republican, opposed Winn, the democratic nominee Winn was elected by a handsome majority. Watson won easily in the tenth over J. E^ Williams, negro repub lican. In the other states the contests were bitter and exciting, the re publicans expending over half million corruption money to up hold them *iu their villianous usurpation of power, perversion of justice, and extravagant drafts up on the public treasury. Late as Monday night Ex-Presi dent Cleveland and others express ed confidence that the elections would give democratic gains enough to place the next house in control of the democrats. Hon Roswell P. Flower, chairman of the democratic committee tele graphed as follows to the Atlanta Constitution: “We have now 152 members in the house. We do not expect to lose one of these districts, and ex pect to gain one each in Alabama Tennessee, New Jersey, Kansas ; New Hampshire, Rhode Islaucl Kentucky, Illinois, Massachusetts and. Wisconsin; two each in Arkan sas, California, Maryland, Missou ri and Iowa; six in Ohio; three in New York, making 181 democrats and 151 republicans. We hope to elect some allinncemen. in Iowa Kansas and Minnesota, which will put the republicans further from a majority. Reports are not full enough to say whether these claims have been^verified, yet we hope that De mocracy will control the next House of Representatives, by a good working majority. The reports sent out Tuesday night contained cheering news for the democrats, indicating a posi tive democratic majority in the House of Representatives of the next congress. A few of the especially good points are: The defeat of McKin ley, of Ohio, the author of the re publican tariff bill; the election of a majority of democrats to the New York legislature; the election of a democratic governor of Massachu setts; congressional gains in sever al heretofore solidly republican states. New Hampshire is democratic. Rhode Island gains a democrat ic congressman. No democratic losses in south ern states; and some gains. The democratic majority in the next House is estimated to be 62 by the New York Times, and 30 or 36 by the New York Sun. These figures are not official,and of course there will be changes,but there seems to be no doubt that Democracy is again in the ascend ant in United States politics.' Charles F. Crisp, of Georgia, will -be the next Speaker of the National House of Representa tives. graph, are full of interest to the people of Georgia, and every Southern state. ‘The idea that the negroes in the South were increasing raster than the whites became quite gen eral soon after the census of 1880. The census of 1870 was a gross fraud. It did not give anything like a full count of the negro pop ulation in the South, and, there fore, the comparatively accurate census of 1880 made the apparent increase of the y uegro population much greater than it really was, and gave rise to some erroneous inferences. The recent census, while very imperfect, is near enough the truth to show the fal lacy of the assumption that the ne groes are increasing relatively faster in the South than the whites. In every Southern'state the whites have increased faster than .the blacks. The difference, however, has been most marked, in South Carolina. It is true that thousands of negroes have left that state since 1880, but, making all due allow ances tor this exodus, it is evident that the natural increase of the whites has been the greater. Iu 1880 the population of South Car olina >vas 995,577, of whom only 391,105 were whites. There were 604,332 negroes, the small remain der being Indians aud Chinese. According to the recent census South.Carolina has a popuiation of 1,147,171, of whom 512,369 are u bites aud 634,7S8 colored, includ ing Chinese and Indians. The white population of the state has increased 121,264since 1880, while the colored population has! in creased only 30,316. In other words, for every increase of 5,000 negroes there has been an increase of 20,000 whites. South Carolina is fast becoming a white man’s state. There is no more danger of the numerical preponderance of the negro in the South than there is of their supremacy in Southern civilization. This is a white man’s country in every sense.” Repiyto Gen. Anderson. It is said Fred Equglass is v< get up a fair for anxious for social equality.

The General sets out with the view of establishing his dexterity, and in order to accomplish this, be discovers that the grand jury was made up in part (at least) of a set or ignoramuses assembled in pan demonium, being totally inade quate to the task that was imposed upon them, knowing nothing what ever of deontology. Here he haS exposed his own guilt of supererre- gation; for deontology does not teach an officer to bring diabolical charges against a grand jury, but a grand jury has the prerogative of bringingchargesagainst officers, and that, too, without the least de gree of compunction. The Gener al, being so thoroughly educated in deontology, makes some import ant (?) suggestions in regard to the selection of grand jurors. Is Judge Miller so docile as to heed the suggestion? Now, iu regard to the manner in which “poor Tom” made nis debut, no one but an old bachelor would have questioned; however, “Jim' may have manifested more com placence. N Observer. Echeconnee, Nov. 1,1890. Right recently this part of Geor gia has beeu shaken from the “kiver to the jiste.” A mighty grand jury has met, transacted its business, and as usual somebody is not pleased. Some may remem ber that this has been the case at stated periods for severals years past Gen. Anderson, in his de sire to “whack” his supposed ene mies, makes his insinuations so broad as- to cover his ^friends. While it may be proper to clean out the Angssn stables, it might be proper also to rake out the cow pen; The great state fair has had its day, and thousands have put in their little mite to swell the pock ets of those who need it least. Last, but not least, comes the great Woolfolk hanging. Thoss who have read the full history of this case will be puzzled to tell which is the more revolting, the first chapter treating of an entire household murdered and the scenes surrounding it, or the last chapter telling of the supposed murderer as he stands upon the scaffold with but a few strands of hemp between him and eternity, drawing a crowd as thoghtless and unfeeling as Nero, while Rome melted to ashes at his feet. The demand of the people has been satisfied, bat whether the demands of the law or of justice have been satisfied may never be known. The press and the people will comment on that dying declaration, but for the sake of some living, it were best the dead be let ajoue. Dr. H. W.

Herbert Ward, in the prefacs to his “Five Years With the Congo Cannibals,” tells the story of the Rear Guard of the Stanley-Expe- dition for the relief of Emin Pacha. The trials of those left behind by Mr. Stanley when he pushed for ward, the fate of Major Barttelot and Mr. Jameson, and Mr. Ward’s own part in the transactions of that trying period, form an important and interesting chapter in the his tory of Mr. Stanley’s great enter prise. Theunfortunate controver sy now raging between Mr. Stan ley and the representatives of Ma jor Barttelot renders Mr. Ward’s revelations as to that matter espe cially interesting and valuable. Mr. Ward’s book contains many facts hitherto unknown. A flood of light is thrown upon the condition and habits of the millions inhabit ing the Congo basin. The illustra tions are truthful representations of the scenery, habitations and na tives, made from original drawings by Mr. Ward while iii Africa.

The snbject of this brief notice, Mrs. 'Dollie Hartley, died at the residence of lier son,. Mr. Geo. C. Hartley, near Powersville,Houston county, Ga., on the 25th day of Oc tober, 1S90. She was born in South Carolina on the 2nd day of February, 1814, being at the date of her death 76 years, 8 months, and 23 days old. Her husband, Mr. Muston Hart ley, preceded her to the grave sev eral years ago. She had been a faithful and con sistent member of the Baptist church for more than fifty years of her life; she, therefore, died iu full Christian faith, believing iu an ul timate triumph to a belter “here after.” ■ Iu addition to many f rifWids, Bbe leaves six children, three sons and three daughters, and several grand children and great grand children to mourn her death. Her mortal remains were laid to rest in the cemetery at Fort Val ley, Houston county, Ga., on the 27th day of October, 1890. A Friend. Powersville, Oct. 30 th, 1890. —A fakir was on the streets of Perry last Wednesday. He first represented himself to be an ar tist, and ostentatiously . walked around the court honse, pretending to be taking sketches. These sketches, be said, would be used to illustrate a future issue of the New York Police Gazette. But these sketches were such only so-called, andwas the man dhly an artist, so- called by himSfelf. He gave his name to various parties as George DeVolono, Brown and Smith—se cured a license to sell jewelry, but his real purpose was to swindle the people with a three-shell and ball game. He was arrested by the town authorities, but as it could not be proven that he had violated a town ordinance, he was released. Before a warrant could he sworn out and an officer again reach him, he had skipped tbe town—with some lucre gained. AN IMMENSE STOCK OF tifjriiii * AND Gents’ Furnishing.
