There are five counties fall prohi¬

represented in the penitentiary.
They are Murray, Towns, Johnson,
Catoosa, and Colqui t.
Only twice since the war has Indi¬
ana gone democratic at a national
election, and on both of the tickets
was the name of Hendricks, the
ablest democrat the state ever had.
There is no Hendricks this year.
Judge John I. Hall of Spalding
has retired from the race for the pres¬
idency of the Senate. There are
still three candidates, viz: lion.
Fleming G. Dubignon of Chatham,
Hon. C. B. Wooton of Calhoun and
Hon. J. M. Dupree, of Macon.
The Georgia School of Technol¬
ogy is the only technological school
which is purely a state institution.
The school has at present about one
hundred and ten students. Geor¬
gians will do well to encourage this
noble effort for industrial education.
We have a democratic President,
a democratic cabinet, a democratic
House, a Senate which is on the
verge of being democratic, and now
we have a democratic chief justice.
The country is safe. People are
going on attending to business, and
everybody seems to be happy ex¬
cept, possibly, the mugwumps.
j’be State Attorney General of
New York has determined to bring

Benjamin Hutchinson, “Old
Hntch” as he is often called, the
great Chicago wheat king, once
worked in a country store at $ 20,00
per yenr, and could not read writ
ing. He is now worth his millions
and was the direct cause of the re¬
cent rise in flour. His profits in
his last jwheat deal is variously es¬
timated from three to four and one
half million dollors, a large part of
which will come from the cotton
belt of our country where people
do not raise there own wheat.
