Next Tuesday is election day —the day when the voters of Rockdale must decide whether a Democrat or Populist is to he Ordinary, to fill tlie vacancy oc¬ casioned by the death of Judge Seamans. Col. Helms is the Democratic candidate, and Mr P. II. White tho Populist can¬ didate. We have been here but a short while, but from what we know of these gfiitlenien both are competent and worthy, Both have been citizens for many years and are entitled to the re spjet and confidence of their fol¬ io w citizens. Both have equal rights and privileges,and no one d >sires to interfere with these. B it the circumstances—the fact t iat the party line has been drawn—forces on issue. While our Populist friends feel it their duty to vote for Mr. White, Dem¬ ocrats should not be careless in giving Col. Helms their support and hearty co operation. The Democracy is tlie grand old par¬ ty which brought the country safely out of tlie dark days of reconstruction and restored to tlie people the rights of ante¬ bellum times, unci which lias beeu ever since the preservative element of our institutions. The Populists are sincere in their views, but we think they are mistaken, and that to form now parties now on new platforms is a dangerous experiment. Dem¬ ocrats have doubtless made mis takes, hut we cannot afford to desort the party on that ac COUllt. YVt< honestly believe mu’safe ty depends upon united action. especially in State and Nation h! elections, so long us a certain element forms a part of I he body politic, and in local pohti is tho issue is made and the squarely on. “United wo stand divided we fall.’ THE COLLEGE TROUBLE. The president of the board ot trustees of the Southern Female College located tit Lat iange, Ga., ban written a very plain statement of facts in very plain language relating to the trou hies with Prof Cox, who has moved to Manchester with his school. It is evident that the LaGiange citizens have been treated with injustice, yet we see already that the removal under the circumstances, has W1 a :l: the management of Dr. ly. association and The western the I aGrauge cit izens are cer taiuly entitled to the money which thev contributed to build and maintain the Cox college while at LaGiange- The beue fits received by the citizens of the city in free tuition to the poor children were overbalanced by the money received into the hands o£ Prof. Cox, in a liberal support and hea' ty co operation, so that the charter and nam ) of tlie college thould be left intact with the people of Lagrange. CRIMES, SPORT?, RELIGI )N Under the above head ohHstian Advocate, of Atlanta, quotes some interesting figures makes pointed commen The average New York da !.y paper devotes eleven per cent, of its space to crime, more than seven per cent to sports and o i if ful "' percent, to region, a,oI y e {, great ilai ies bo ist < f ne ing true expo tents of the 1 'e >' people. If this statement ho t. e “country is mainly inhabit¬ ed by sports and criminals.’ But we would remind our broth - er that true religion vaunleth not itself ; is not puffed up— seexs not the laudation o‘ the world. We can take comfort in Paul’s declaration, “Where sin abounds grace much more,” es - pecially so in view of the f ict that”the denomii ations o the world are doing more to ad¬ vance trie Cause than ever. Hector D. Lane, presi lent of the Cotton Growers’ Protective Association, says the cotton crop ot ’95 is cut short thirty per cent. This reduces a 9,000, 000 crop down to a little over (>,000,000. Cotton ought to sell for an average of 7c. this year. _ Wo think the Atlanta papers are right in trying to prevent another prohibition election this fall. Tlie Exposition will give the people of Atlanta all they can do for tlio next several months. In fact a forced elec lion now would result in thede feat of the prohibitionists. Now and then a goldbug changes to a silverite ; so also a silverite changes to the gold standard. They keep auout ev¬ en along this lino. The Exposition bull fight lias been declared off.

Wo get the following pathet¬ ic verso from th" Brumwick Call: "Lives of newsmen all rmiin 1 U’, llone-t toil don’t stand a eh moe. 1 he note we work there crow behind us Bigger patches in our pants. ‘•On Now ili ot strip?* p mt 1 once ot diiVoreot new and hue, glossy, All b 'can c the ddi o”* linger, And (io.iY pay up what is due. “Let us tli^n be up and doing.

We say with the Madison Ad vertiser, which is, by the way one of tho brightest, and newsi est weeklies in the State : “Rem Crawfords ‘Etchedand Sketched’ column in The Con¬ stitution is one of tho brightes features of that paper.” ‘ Frank L. Stanton to make at least one bright, on the Atlanta editorial page. His column is a gem.” We are in receipt of the copy of the Rome Tribune we have had the pleasure of pe i using for quite awhile.

Atlanta has deci led to adhere to the 10 o’clock rule in regard to closing the saloons at night. Therefore they will not be kept open till 12. The city of Savannah has se¬ lected space in the Manufactu¬ rers’and Liberal Arts Bin ding of the Outton States and Inter¬ national Exposition. A little boy, nam id Djx, died of hydrophobia on the night of the 18th in Macon. He was bit¬ ten on the cheek?July 5, but suf¬ fered nothing until a few days ago. The Holmes Castle in Chica¬ go, whete Holmes murdered so many victims, was burned Mon¬ day night. It is well, for it was a standing terror to all the neigl t bors round. A baby in Walton county has b ien cltris,tenod Leonidas V enc zuela. Evan Japan and Patrick Mexico are likely to be heard from very soon.—Macon Tele graph. Mrs. Peter White, who had charge of the Irish Village at the World’s Fair, has consented to read a paper on the progress of Irish industry for wo meter at the Cotton States and International Exposition. Lady Aberdeen has also been invited to read a pa¬ per. A prominent citizen of Arkan¬ sas, in giving the reasons why In? is in favor of free silvei'at 16 to 1, said ; “Under existing con¬ ditions I know that I have noth¬ ing, whereas, under free silver I might have something.” No doubt a similar sentiment actu¬ ates many of the free coiners. —Little Rock Herald. Stanley’J. Weyman, the au¬ thor of “Francis Cludde,” at the age of thirty-five gave up the law and went home to live at his mother’s expense. He believed that he was a complete failure, but when he tried his hand at historical romance he found his true vocation, and in two years’ time he was on the road to | tune and fame, On Sunday night last E. ton, of Hilton Station, had the misfortune to have a house, in which were stored about seven¬ ty-! ive bales of cotton, struck by lightning', which set fire to the house, destroying it complettly. The entire lot o c cotton more or less damaged, i,nly two or three bales iue'y consumed by the flames. — Early County News. The lower lobe of the lake, oil which the Electricity and Transportation Buildings of the Cotton States ana International Exposition front, is nearly full of water and three streams from six inch mains have been turned on the upper basin which fronts the Machinery Hall and the Mines and Forestry Building. The electric fountain is in the center of the upper basin, at d the operating cnaniber is com¬ plete. Lord and Lady William Beres ford (the latter formerly the Dowager Duchess of Marlbor¬ ough) have been fishing for sal¬ mon in Norway. They paid $4, COD for a stream and caught two fish. ‘Lord Walter Beres ford ’ bad better luck. He came to Georgia, fished for “suckers” and my, my, what a string he k etched—even if he is spending about sets i years of his time at one of the state’s hea lth-resorts for-ketched-uabocs.— Rome Hi s tier. 00 ) ora Carbo-Dipstive > 111 Positively the ono Remedy for the treatment of NERVOUS EXHAUSTION, Simple end aggravated forms oi -DYSPEPSIA and- Palpitation of the-Hea'at. -:c: Does your fool sour af or eating?
