Summerville, (la.
THURSDAY MORNING. 5EPT.20,1588.
It is quite probable that Mr. B.
Harrison’s political career will come i
to a big and sudden . in November. I
The present congress lias contin- .
ued in session longer than any pre- .
vious one, owing to the fillibuster
ing tactics of the Republicans.
, The Republicans appear to be
greatly hope because they carried i
Maine and Vermont. It don’t take j
much to encourage the Republicans. |
Harrison was just a little behind
Cleveland in giving his letter to the
public. In November he will be
just a little behind in getting to the
. White House.
Mr. Angier, a son-in-law of his ,
father-in-law, Jody Brown, has been 1
making speeches for Harrison in ■
Tennessee. lie can't stomach the
tariff plank in the Democratic plat
form.
I). B. Hill has been nominated by ;
the Democrats of New York for |
governor. The Republicans will
find him a hard, steep Hill to climb
over. [Copj' righted; ali rights
reserved.]
A young woman of MineapolU is
being sued for SIO,OOO damages by |
a jilted lover. Good*enough. This I
way of men always appearing as
defendants in such suits ought to |
be stopped.
Rev. W. F. Davis, who was sent'
to jail for preaching in Boston com-|
mon has just been released, after a .
confinement of ten months. It is
against a city ordinance to preach ■
in Boston common.
Returns from 56 counties in Ar
kansas show that 35 of them voted
for whisky and 19 against it. Two
are in doubt. Nine of the counties
that voted for whisky in this elec
tion were formerly dry.
His opponents call Rev. Thad
Pickett, who is running independent
ly in the ninth district against Can
dler for congress, a “knotty headed
Baptist.” He seems, all the same,
to lie gradually getting there.
The people of Atlanta are treated
to novelties each day. With steal
ing ballot boxes, clubbing men and
occasionally a choice scandal, which
are participated in by the very fore
most citizens, the days go merrily
by.
Cd. W. IL Hidell has announced
him -elf as a candidate for ,the leg-
Liature from Flo 1 county. The
Colonel’s platform is Jeffersonian
Democracy, pure and undefiled, a
kind many so-called Democrats are
not acquainted with in those days.
Four thousand mon are and will
oe -tumping Indiana from now un
til N..-v inber. The political firma
m, i. there is heavily overcast and
the sntoke of conflict darkens the
land, through al! of which, however,
• tli - idivart form of your uncle
Grover can be seen, gradually and
Bur-. l v getting there.
1 he Birmingham Age gleefully
announces that Wm. Lloyd Garri
son, the great abolition orator, has
declared his intention of supporting
Cleveland. As Mr. Garrison has
been dead a number of years the
enter -rising Age must have acquired
its information in this instance
through the instrumentality of a
medium.
Captain Harry Jackson, candi
date ior the legislature in the Dem
ocratic primary in Fulton county,
the day before the election knocked
down the editor of the Avalanche
and beat him with many stripes,
and the next day the people beat
the Captain for the legislature w ith
many votes. Good enough .’ A can
didate who beats a harmless, inno
cent editor, whoso offense was ask
ing him to announce in his paper,
will hardly ever be elected.
The State Road-
A question that will come
up before the next assembly of Geor
gia is the disposition to bo made of
the State road. It has to be either
leased, sold or opperated by the
I State, and the assembly will have
to decide which.
It seems that the,proper thing to
do is to sell the road, provided the
| price obtained is what it is worth.
There are many good reasons why
this should be done. If there is a
solitary reason, founded on the true
interest of the taxpayers, why it
should not, we do not know it.
The road is in the nature of an
elephant to the State. It is trouble
some and expensive and a source
of contention and temptation to un
principled men who wants to make
| money off of it’. Such men as the
j present lessees are will always be on
| the watch to lease the road for less
j than it is worth. Any one may say
! “Oh, the legislature won’t permit
i this,” but to such the answer is, it
j has been done once and what has
\ been can be again. The smooth
j handed, slick tongued politicion at-
- tempts to delude by glibly talking ,
ab’out’what a. big sum $300,000 is, .
j but if the road is worth mope, and !
lit is, then the State ought to have
i it. Os course $300,000 is a big sum , ,
I and it is a great help to Georgia in I
aiding her to discharge her obliga
tions and a great help to the peo
ple in assisting them to educate
their children but all this should |
not cause any one to forget that |
I the present lessees not only are not i
| paying the State what the road is J
! worth but actualy have never com- i
plied with the terms of the lease I
act.
Then what is the use of the State ,
owning property and owing mon- I
!ey when the last may be prevented
by selling the first. Is it the thing
to do to own a railroad worth say ,
$8,000,000 from which the income is |
$300,000 per year and owe a debt of
$8,000,000 and pay thereon
$325,000 interest each year. Is i
there any policy or reason in such
I a mode of procedure. Then the j
i road is an expense. Last year
' there were thousands of dollars of
i the peoples’ money consumed by the
■ legislature in discussing the lease
1 and betterments questions. It takes
I money each day to foot the bills of
■ the assembly when it is in session.
I Next year the road will figure prom-
j inently in discussion in the assembly j
and the people will figure prominent
ly in settling the bills. Then it goes
without saying that a body of inter
ested men, such as the assembly al-|
ways is in dealing with the States ,
property, having in its hands the!
law-making power, should not be
allowed control of property which
comes into competition with proper- ;
ties owned by private individuals. I
These are some of the reasons the
road should be sold. There are ma- ,
ny others, equally good, which could
be given.
Augusta last week experienced
great damage by floods, the highest
in years.
A tramp without a shred of cloth
ing on was found last week in Cas
tle Garden.
In Terrell county, last Thursday,
C. I’. Kitchens killed his father,
John Kitchens, and escaped.
Up to last Sunday 830 cases and
116 deaths from yellow fever were
reported from Jacksonville.
The weather prophets, the wood
sellers and coal dealer's are predict
ing an early and severe winter.
Last week an unknown man sent
to Mayor Hewitt $12,000 to be used
for the benefit of the yellow fever
sufferers of Florida.
Some of the Hudson river grape
growers will hold their grapes till
Christinas if they can. The surplus
above last year’s crop in that region
will be about 9,000 tons.
Colonel Lamar Fontain, of Can
ton Miss., drives a pair of pet bears
in a buggy. He has trained the ani
mals himself and may be seen
out behind his novel team every
fine afternoon. The bears run a sort
of awkward trot and seem to take
their position with the best posi
ble good nature. They are, of course,
muzzled.
Recently a rich New Yorker was j
found in bed nearly murdered. Up- j
on being found he made signs for'
pen and paper and upon receiving!
them wrote the word “whir.” The !
injuries he received, if not fatal.!
will permanently affect his mind, I
and he will probably go through.:
life a harmless idiot writing the |
word “whir.” .

THE CAMPAIGN.
Its Progress and Prospects—Opin
ions from Varloue Sources.
In Maine the Democrats increas
ed their vote in the recent election
3,038 over that of 1884, while the
Republican vote increased only
1,824.
The Stephens Point Gazette, a
leading Republican paper of Wis
consin, has come out for Cleveland
because of his position on the trusts
and the tariff.
11. K. Thurbcrjhas confessed that
the alleged quotation from the Lon
don Times about sending the Irish
to America to vote for free trade,
which he has been using in circu
lars sent to workingmen, is a for
gery.
Viewed from Washington the im
pression is. that the Democrats Have
gained greatly during the week be
ginning with the publication of
Cleveland’s letter of acceptance.
Among Democrats there is but one
opinion entertained of the letter of
the president and that is most fa
vorable, while Harrison’s letter of
acceptance is regarded as common
place and devoid of strength.
In New York it is said the Re
publican leaders are becoming dis
couraged. They counted on a row
among the Democrats over the
nomination of Hill for governor,
but were sadly disappointed, as
Hill was unanimously nominated.
Hill is a man who believes that “to
the victors belong the spoils” and
his party, knowing this, will support
him to a man, and as he strongly in-
. * .
I dorses Cleveland, his nomination
I for governor it is thought will
I strengthen the national ticket.
In Connecticut there is some
dissatisfaction among Democrats in
! the New Haven congressional dis
trict over the nomination of Wilcox
| for congress. His nomination was
I secured through government offi
cial influence, which defeated Pig-
I ott, a man who was the choice of
I the more conservative Democracy.
It is expected that Wilcox will be
defeated and it is feared his candi
dacy will involve a loss to Cleveland,
but in spite of this it thought the
latter will carry the state. In 1884
Cleveland carried the state by 1,300
plurality.
The presidential election hinges
upon the way New York goes. The
south has 153 electoral votes which
are conceded to Cleveland. The
I total college is 401, and 201 is a
majority. In addition to the 153
I votes of the south Cleveland must
' have 48 to secure his election. New'
[ York has 36,New Jersey 9 and Con
necticut (> and these will elect
j Cleveland with three to spare. As
! Neiv York goes so go the two small
| states on her eastern and southern
border. Giving Harrison every
' other Northern state Cleveland can
! win by carrying the three states
that cluster around the. great city
of New' York.
The editor of the Detroit Free
j Press considers the chances of
Democracy in Michigan very bright.
The people of that state arc thor
oughly posted upon the tariff issue
—perhaps more so than the people
of any other state —and are in
heartj' accord with the administra
tion’s position on the question.
Democrats confidently rely upon
success in the first, fifth, seventh,
eighth and tenth congressional dis
tricts and are very sanguine over
their prospects in the second and
sixth. They regard Burt’s chances
for governor as good. James Ash
ley, a leading Republican, who has
traveled the state extensively, ad
mits that Democratic chances are
better now' than they were in 1884
when Blaine carried the state by
only 3,000 majority. From what
he says the prohibitionists are par
ticularly active and their vote will
work a heavy loss upon the Repub
licans. Nearly every interior town
has its nightly mass meetings and
both Democrats and prohibitionists
are thoroughly organized.
A few days ago L. E. Ramsey of
Georgia found a bee tree on the
east side of Taylor’s ridge. When cut
it proved rich, there being about
eight feet of comb. Seventy pounds
of honey was taken out and the
bees were safely housed.
The unveiling of the confederate
i monument at Staunton, Va., on the
! 25th of this month will be an occa

From Dr. W. P Harrison.
Nashville, Tenn., May 2, ISSS I
have used Swift’s Specific in my family
I for some time, and believe it to be an
I excellent remedy for all impurities of

: that I have warded oil’ a severe attack
of rheumatism in the shoulder by a time

cases where a permanent relief is sought
this medicine commends itself for a con
stitutional treatment that thoroughly
eradicates the seeds of disease from the
system. W. P. Harrison.
