ROCKDALE BANNER. SUBSCRIPTION: PER YEAR (in ndvance)-.. SI.OO. FOR 6 Months........... 50 cts. Entered at the Conyers Port Office as cecond class mall matter. * Advor!l8ing gates mstie kntwa on De.nand Jsb V/oTk Weatty and Promptly Executed. T. D. O’KEI.LEY - Business Manager. JOHN K. MADDOX Editor. Rockdale Banner is its name. And it is our purpose to make the paper the equal if not the peer of anv Georgia weekly. To do this wo expect a liberal support from our very generous public The total number of inmates of the penitentiary is given at 1,560. The prohibition question is again agitating the the people of Newton count)'. A petition is being circu¬ lated to secure signers enough to ask an election in December. Some people believe that two democratic tickets in New York city will help the national dem¬ ocratic ticket, but others have quite a different opinion. Mr. Thurman spent Sunday with Mr. Cleveland, at the President’s? country home, “Oak View.” It is proper to state right here that pol¬ itics did not enter into their con¬ versation The other night, in IVest Virginia* it will be remembered, a republican slump speaker was pelted with rot ton eggs. A few nights later, in Harrisburg, Pa., a democratic speaker was insulted in the same manner. It turns out that Patrick Ford, the fierce editor of the Irish World, was a deserter from the Union army (luring the war. Ford quit fighting before the war ceased, hut ever since it was over he has been thirsting for gore. It is believed by those who claim to know that Cleveland is certain of New York, notwithstanding the split between . Tammany and the County Democracy. These two organizations are everlastingly at variance. The American Forestry congress, wpon invitation of the last legiela lasure, will hold its annual session in Atlanta a this year, convening Nov. 29 and continuing several days. Gov. Gordon will, in a few day, appoint delegates to represent Georgia in the congress. Information from Alabama is to the effect that the merchants all over the State are greatly agitated over the failure of the farmers to bring in their cotton. Southern farmers have absolutely declined to use jute bagging at all, and are hold ing their cotton in their gin houses, waiting to find some way to get a head of the cotton bageing trust. Speaking of trusts and monopo¬ lies the writer differs widely with some people. We hold that mer¬ chants are not dishonest as a class simply because they are merchants, nor are farmers honest simply be¬ cause as a class they are farmers. If any of either class are dishonest it comes from a different source. And we venture a step further to put it strongly, that one is not nec¬ essarily n good man becanse he be¬ longs to a good organization. Ho ought to he, all will admit, but that is quite a different question. A diver in San Francisco, who was engaged at $150 a day to go down and examine the machinery of the steamer City • of Chester, which was sunk last August, Iras thrown up the job. He took one look at the vessel, and that satisfied him. The first thing that met his e) r e was the form of a man standing with face distorted and tongue hanging out of his mouth. The body was swollen to twice its nat¬ ural size. Then he saw another victim, on his knees, grasping a third mau around the waist. The diver got out of the water, reported bis discovery to the officers, and refused to listen to appeals to make aiiditMHi trip. ♦ Persons who lead a life of ex¬ posure are and snbject to rheumatism, and will neuralgia lumbago find a valuable remedy in Dr. J.
