State Electio:

respondent, E. G. Siegers, 918 F. Street,
N. W., Washington, D. C.
Stock-baming should be very much
increased in Georgia.
In point of value the 1900 cotton
crop is one of the very best, ever
grown in Georgia.
The Telegraph says 25,000 people
went to Macon on the railroads du
ring the recent street fair.
Thebe will be a convention of
southern cotton growers at Macon
on che 20th of November next.
IE? Gen; John’McIntosh Kell, adju
tant general of Georgia, died at his
home in Sunnyside, Ga., last Friday.
Hill and Croker *both declare
New York will go democratic, state
and national, on the 6th of Novem
ber.
e exact figures of the
Georgia state election of last week
have not been published, enough is
known to show that democracy is
supreme in the political affairs- of
this state.
The Constitution says the demo
cratic majority is 70,000, and that
the populist vote was the smallest
ever polled. In a few counties, only
were populist county officers elected,
and in the entire state only four or
five populist legislators;
Everywhere the populist vote was
reduced,and even in McDuffie coun
ty, the home of Tom Watson, the
democrats received a majority vote.
There ore two black spots, howev
er. McIntosh and Liberty counties
each elected a negro representative.
Taking the state as a whole, the
vote was exceedingly light, the lack
of serious opposition making the
democrats careless.
The majority is gratifying, buf
there must be a much larger vote on
November 6 th.
The state election last week proved
conclusively that the populist party
is no longer a potent political factor
in Georgia.
Gov. Koosevelt, says the New York
World, has been in the executive
office of the state only 36 hours
since the 1st of June.
The operative policy of the repub
lican administration, and the man
agement of the republican campaign,
places mpney above manhood.
The republicans of the 6th district
of South Carolina have nominated a
negro for congress. The convention
was composed entirely of negroes.
f Geobgia hay may become a staple
article of merchandise within the
next several months. It is said the
western hay crop is considerably
short.
r An English syndicate has con
tracted for 750,000 tons of Alabama
coal, to be delivered within two
years at some point on the Gulf of
Mexico.
Mb. Tally Walkeb died in Macon
last Friday of consumption. He was
a nephew of Capt. J. H. Powers of
Perry, and well known in this sec
tion of Houston.
The interstate fair at Atlanta be
gan Wednesday, October 10th, and
will continue to the 27th. One fare
for the round trip over the Central
of Georgia railroad.
Thh preponderence of argument is
on the democratic side in the cam
paign, andjthe preponderence of votes
will be for the democratic candi
dates on November Gth.
The German—American vote of
Indiana amounts to about 80,000,
and a leading German newspaper of
that state says 75 per cent of that
vote will go to Bryan and Stevenson.
Maj. Livingston Mims was nomi
nated mayor of Atlanta last Friday.
There were four candidates for that
office. The vote was as follows:
Mims, 2,640; Bice, 2,482; McCul
lough, 1,017; Mitchell, 883.
The convention of democratic
clubs from the various - slates at In
dianapolis on Wednesday of last
week, was largely attended and the
speakers confidently predicted the
eleotion of Bryan and Stevenson. ..
Thebe was a head-end collision of
two freight trains near Tennille last
Friday, The engines, tenders and
25 freight cars were demolished, the
track for several hundred yards tom
up, but no person Was serioualy hurt.
Thebe is little doubt that Mr.
Bryan’B visit to New York city about
a week from now will be an eye
opener for the BepubUcans, and will
show them to what an extent cir
cumstances have changed since 1896;
When Mr. Bryan made his speech in
that city four years ago, there WaB
little or no enthusiasm for him and
the Republicans succeeded in carry
ing out a very pretty scheme to dis-
conCert him. When he rose to speak,
the cohorts with which they had
packed the hall began to leave, and
continued to do so Until the hall
was half emptied. Of course this
was terribly disconcerting to Mr.
Bryan, as it would be any speaker.
This year all will changed. Mr. Bry
an will be escorted to the hall by a
procession of 100,000 men under, the
personal direction of the democrat
ic boss who went to Europe in 1896
to avoid meeting him. Democratic
clubs will be brought from all the
towns and cities within three hours’
ride by railroad of New York; one
hundred and thirty-four bands have
already been engaged to furnish
music.-Washington Correspondence.
Democratic claims are expressed
Congressman Richardson,as follows;
McKinley 137, Bryan 213, doubtful
97. The estimate accepted by Hanna
is as follows: McKinley 249, Bryan
145; doubtful 53. Necessary to choice
224. Of course there are errors in
both. Their correction ’will elect
Bryan and Stevtnson.
The official register contains the
names of 7,353 democratic clubB,
with an enrolled membership of
over two million active democrats.
There are clubs in every state of the
Union, but most of tnem in states
where much work is essential to in
sure democratic success.

For the first time in several
weeks the ground is sufficiently
wet to bring up turnip seed, and
though late in the season many
are being planted.
Cotton is about all gathered,
and farmers are giving their at
tention to the saviag of their
corn,
I hardly think that ten oent
cotton will decrease the intended
acreage of small grain. A few
may reduce the acreage, but the
majority will plant as much as
they would if cotton only sold for
five cents. I have heard of one
man only who has ground his seed
