PBICE, $1,50 A TEAS, IN ADVANCE. Published Every Thursday Morning. Jno.H. HODGES, Editor and Publisher H RRY, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1. The Federal Election. Copies of this paper may be found on file at the office of oar Washington cor respondent, E. G. Siggers, 918 F. Street, N. W., Washington, D. O. Less than a week remains of the. national campaign, the result of which must remain in doubt until the ballots to be cast on Tuesday, November 6th, are counted. The right and justice of democra cy is so thoroughly appreciated by a large majority of Georgia voters that there is no need of argument or persuasion in this state, other Both sides say they are confident. The registration in Hawaii for the election next Tuesday is only 11,216. Close friends of ex-President Cleveland say he will not vote next Tuesday. Coldeb weather was forecasted for the last of October and the first of November. Indiana is claimed by the demo crats, and Illinois is acknowledged to be doubtful. Mb. Bbyan believes the electoral vote of New York will be given to the democratic candidates. The result of the election on next Tuesday will not interfere with wheat planting in Georgia. Chairman Jones expresses com plete confidence that democracy will win the election next Tuesday. The Georgia state fair is in suc cessful progress at Valdosta, and will continue through the week. The strike of coal miners in Penn sylvania was declared off last Thurs day,and the miners refumed to work Monday. Ex-Pbesident Cleveland says there will be a “landslide” for Bryan next Tuesday, and that McKinley will be defeated. Figures of the late census show that there are in the United States 159 cities with a population of more than 25,000 each. In Gov. Candler’s message to the .Georgia legislature there was a dec laration in favor of restricted suf frage in the state. Hon. Clvbk Howell is president of the Georgia Senate, and Hon. John D. Little speaker of the House of Bepresentatives. Within forty years New York has not twice in succession given its electoral vote to the same party. This is the democratic year: Recent reports from South .Africa tell of several engagements in which the British , were defeated by the Boers. Gen. Dewett is in command of the Boers. In a negro Methodist conference at Chattanooga, Tenn., last Satur day, a resolution endorsing the re publican party was voted down by a large majority. ‘ In .1888 Harrison defeated Cleve land and in 1892 • Cleveland defeat ed Harrison. In 1896 McKinley defeated Bryan and in 1900 Bryan will defeat McKinley. Crawford county’s representative in the Georgia legislature came very near to death last Saturday,in Atlan ta. He blew out the gas when he went to ; bed Friday night. We are told that the entire prod uct of a Macon, Ga., yam mill is sold to brokers in New York. The wrapping twine made at this mill is, neverthless, a favorite with southern druggists. In the recent Georgia state elec tion 121,000 democratic votes were polled, against 23,735 populist votes. Next Tuesday the democratic vote should be considerably over 200,000, as there will be republican, populist and prohibition opposition. than a strong insistance that all the democrats go to the polls that day and vote. The election is for presidential electors and congressman. The candidates for president and vice president are in accord with correct and true democratic princi ple, and the platform embodies the expression of genuine democracy in its best and most comprehensive form. These candidates and plat form are the selection and produc tion of the duly authorized repre sentatives from all the states in the Union. The candidates for congress in Georgia are the tried and true rep resentatives of the eleven districts of the state, nominated by primary vote. It is the positive duty of every democrat to vote next Tuesday. There is no fear of democratic de feat in Georgia, but- our people Owe the cause a majority that veil! demonstrate our democratic faith. There will be four presidential candidates before the people Georgia: Democratic, republican, prohibitionist and middle-of-the road populists. The democratic ticket for Geor gia and the third congressional dis trict is as follows: For President, William Jennings Bryan, of Nebraska. Fob 'Vice-President, Adlai E. Stevenson, of Illinois. Fob Presidential Electors, State of Georgia: At Large, Augustus Dupont, Fulton Colville. 1st District—W. W. Sheppard. 2nd District—C. W. Fnlwood. ' 3rd District—W. C. Nottingham 4th District—B. F. McLaughlin. 5th District—Edgar Latham. 6th District—rJ. M. Strickland. 7th District—J. P. Jackoway. 8th District—A. G. McCurry. 9th District—J. J. Kimsey. 10th District—T. E. Massengale. 11th District—A. E.. Cochran. For Representative in 57th Con gress from the Third Dis trict of Georgia, Elijah B. Lewis. While the earlier stages of the campaign was comparativelo apa thetic, much enthusiam has devel oped in several of the doubtful states. In the distance; traveled number of speeches delivered and number of people spoken to, Col Bryan and Gov. Roosevelt have made remarkable records. The speakers and managers of the democratic and republican parties claim that the election will go their The Georgia Legislature. way. The surface evidence clearly shows that Bryan is stronger with the peo pie than lie was four years ago, and we believe he will be elected. In the cities enough will be known Tuesday night to clearly indicate the result. Savannah’s Carnival. Matters are in a very satisfactory condition, at the Carnival headquar ters, Savannah. The Carnival fever is spreading rapidly throughout the city and country. Applications are pouring in from a.ll parts of the United States, and many inquiries are be ing made as to rates, hotels, etc. Many requests have been .filed for premium lists, and not only Georgia and her neighbors, but many other sections of the country are becom ing interested in Savannah and her proposed exposition, Nov. 5—17, in clusive. Mr. T. A. Jacobs, who has been with Eads, Neel & Co. for the past ten years, has associated -hrmself" with onr force; and will welcome his many Mends who call upon him, giving them his personal attention. $ ^S>S^Q5-0Ci‘00-g!^-0£>'D5-uOggi00O0C0"O05>&£>'g£>CG>g£>GOqf>8C<g At noon Wednesday, October 24, the Georgia legislature convened in regular session, and that day was occupied in organizing.

Little is speaker of the House, John Boiffeuillet clerk. All the officers of the Senate are north Georgians, as are those of the House, except speaker and clerk Thursday the state election vote was consolidated, Gov. Candler’s message received, and arrangements made for the-inauguration. Friday the actual work of the ses sion began, and 36 bills and resolu tions were introduced, 27 in the House, mostly local, and 9 in the senate. Saturday Gov. Candler was inau gurated. In his message and ad dress the governor discussed all af fairs of state government. He rec ommended restricted suffrage and a state home for indigent veterans. Among the bills introduced Thurs day were two by Mr. Taylor of Hous ton, to prohibit the importation of diseased stock into the state, and to make penal the sale of cotton seed by croppers-or tenants. A Senate resolution calls for a committee to inquire into depart ment expenditures and report as to reductions that can be made. A bill will be introduced to repeal the act providing for the election of judges and solicitors by vote of the people. Uniform text books for public schools will be asked for. It is believed the legislature may not use the entire 50 days allowed by law. There will be no regular prohibi tion bill introduced, though a gen-: eral measure for dispensaries in cit ies of 5,000 inhabitants or more will probably be presented. A bill to prohibit child labor in factories has been introduced, and a registration bill. Many other bills were introduced Monday and Tuesday, and the leg islators seem determined to get in their work early. Senator Bacon will be re-elected next Tuesday. Obituary. Grovania Glernings. BY JuE bedgf. The Grovania Oil and Fertilizer Co. commenced to grind seed to day. Mr. J. G. Crawford, machinist, says the machinery is in fair trim, and he is delighted with its move ments. I learn from Mr. Crawford, manager of the ginnery, and Maj. H. Benson, secretary and treasurer of the company, that they have ginned and packed 872 bales of cotton up to date, including round bales, against 572 last season. Please al low me to correct the error in my last communication stating that the Grovania ginnery had ginned 148 round bales of cotton and 74 square bales. The 148 round bales equal 74 square bales—takes two round bales to make one square bale. I hope everybody understands this. Cotton seed are bringing 23 cents in Grovania—3 cents above Macon price. Now is the time to sell your seed, for they are sure to go down; just as sure as cotton is to go up. Quarterly meeting next Saturday at Grovania. Let all come who can. The preacher must be paid, they say, or no preach. We are sorry to note that little Vie Riley is quite sick with fever. Mr. Joe Q. Ellis'has contracted to- have his house in Grovania remod eled. The contractor, Mr. Barnett, of Cochran, says it will be a beauti ful building when completed. Mr. R. L. Baird has sold his resir dence in this place to his mother, and will build a new house of mod ern design in the near future. The oyster supper at Mr. W. S. Riley’s was an enjoyable occasion. Plenty of oysters, and music by the string band of Grovania. More prizes of the Paris exposi tion were awarded to United States exhibits than to any other foreign country. Our machinery and factory products were especial! - superior to similar exhibits of other countries. It is reported that the presidency of Washington and Lee Univerity, Winchester, Va., made vacant by the recent death or Hon. Wm. L. Wilson, will be offered to ex-Presi- dent Cleveland.

Lessel (as all called him) was 6 years old, and a bright little boy. If tears and love could' have kept him, he would be with us. To the bereaved parents this is perhaps the darkest hour of their pil grimage, and while I pen these few lines they may bo saying: “Oh, why was he taken so young?” I cannot answer the question, but point them to Him who doeth all things for the best, and bid them wait until the mists have cleared away. We de sired his recovery so ; much for the sake of his father and mother. We know that words are powerless to assuage their intense grief, but they have the heartfelt sympathy of their many friends of this community.
