_Who Should Represent Us.
= Within three months of this wri
ling wo will be called on to electd,
Representative and Senator to
represent us in the Legisiature of
the State. We should be very carc
i"ul to select the best men we have,
for, if we send men who are not
-ualified, who are immoral, our
county will be judged as a county
whose citizens have no pride—in
fact, a county is estimated by the
men e send to the chislatum.
There is° a number of counties in
the State of Georgia that send mién
so rvepresent them who can not
draw up a- bill, for the county or
countles they repiasent, and some
other man has to do the work, In
this way some other county repre
sents us, and, you might say, votes
for us. We. should have a man
‘whio would do all lié could for his
.constituents—one who knows what
they need and can work for thejr
‘necessitics. We heard a man say,
who, together with another man,
represented a certain county in tlm%
Jast house of representatives, thab
it was.all he could do tc keep his
colleague on the right track. Ifea
measure was introduced this man,
said his colleague, “would find out
the big side, and on that side he
vobéd, met ¢ caring whether - said
‘meaguro was for or against the in
“torest of his people. Such taem
wfiers ard a dithonor instead of-an
" honor {b the county they represent,
~ and such men should never be sent
{0 any place but the cornfield.
- Asman being a Icligious man, 2
%‘gcml farmer or popular man, does
,?“Wprme that he will make a good
i?f?iffifiésehtative. It ig true we should
g¢lect moral Inen, wen who will
look to the interest of the farmer,
mechanic and all, but every mora)
man will not do to make laws for
ue. If we want a law passed that
will be to the interest of the people
we should have men who can put
that bill through without calling
on some other man to do the
work. There is a number of men in
tka Logislature who do mnot know
the wants of thepeople hence can
ot do anything but draw their
salary. We will say inn conclusion
to the citizens of Haralsou county
and the 38th senatorial district, to
seleet good Demiocrats, men who
can represent the people in either
House, not caring whether they
are lawyers, preachers, farmers, !

DRAKETOWN DOTS.
The heaviest wind storm that
has visited this section since the
well remembered *‘dry storm” of
1860, passed over us about 11 o’-
cloek Saturday night. It came up
very rapidly’ from the north-west,
accompanied by a terrific roaring
resembling very much that de
seribed by the cyclone reporters.
Many of our people were scared
out of their dwellings and would
have taken refuge in storm pits if
we had lad auny, The roof was
blown off Mr, Stephens’ barn, and
many trees were - blown down in
the plantations is aboat all the
damage heard of at this writing.
The wind ;ranged high, or, it is
thought, the damage would have
been heavy. - L

has served it continously from thad

Various names -have been” men
tloned-as probable candidates to

Legislature, and among them II
have heard the name of Judge S.
M. Davenport. Iwish tosay this,
thatifthe Judge will consent to
servein this capacity, I "do not
think any better selection could be
made in the county. He has serv
od the county riearly eight years as|
Ordinary, and has proved himself
.ot only capable of performing the
arduous dutics of that office, but]
Has showa himself ever watchful of l
the county’s interest. If he will
consent to become a candidate I feel |
safein saying that Lie will receive a |
very large vote in this section of the|
county, and from what I can learn
the candidacy would meet the n,p-i
probation of the citizens of thei
county generally, I say this with
due respect to any gentleman who
has been named as a candidate. 1f
you hold this as an advertisement.
I will foot the bill. ?

The Georgia Pacific.
At the close of work yesterday
on the' Georgia Pacific extension
westward from Coalburg, the coti
tractors were directed to suspend
work and wer¢ paid off. An Age re
portor learned from Maj. J. W.
Johnson, president of the road,
that the suspension was ordered at
a meeting of the directors, which
he attended in - New York about a
week ago,and that the money troi
bles east were the cause. These
troubles had stopped work on ihe
Sheffield road, with which the in
tention was to connect, and for this
reason there would not have been
the same reason, even if there was
the means, for closing the gap be
tween Coalburg and the eastern
end of the Columbus branch The
ten miles next to Coalburg, the por
tion on which work had begun and |
was stopped yesterday,. would be|
worth comparatively = little’ until
the gap was closed,and it had been
decided, therefore, that especially
n such times ag the preseut it
‘would be best to wait until the line
could be completed. When the di
rectors of the Richmond and Daa
ville extention company ord‘e_red
the first ten miles built tey
thought they would soon be able to
go ahead with the remaiuing 30
odd mileg of the gap, but the tight
ness of the money market, partly
by stopping work on the Shefiield
ir'ond, disappointed this expecta

. In connection with money mas
ters, the reporter suggested that
il'zf;rc in Birmingham people natur
ally failed to realize - the serious
riess of the troubles. Maj, Johnson
assented and added that a very
short stay in N, Y. would suffice
to bring any one to an appreciation
of the difficultics. Aside from- the
universal lack of confidence in the
metropolis, however, there was ho
reason for hard tineg. The country
generally was in & geod .condition.
Even the banks were better off
than usual. Thosein N. Y, had on
on hand an aggregate surplus of
$13,000,000 above: what, they were
