And h's Charmins Wife and Daugh ter live “cn a Farm.” BEAUTIFUL BACONSFIELD Our Next Senator is one of the Greatest Living Georgians And a Democrat in Whom There is no Guile. Cordele, Aug. 26. Lst night in the arcu eof the popular Suanee, run by the wed known G. H. Tommey, the boys who talk politics gathered and chattered till bed time, every thing wee discussed, from Cleveland down to the races for offices in Doo ly county. All there, were statesmen They knew how everything should be done. They elected Atkinson by 70,000 majority. They talked of Hines as a man misled and worthy ut pity. They discuss*d the senatorial race —said nice things of Henry JG. Turner, but wanted him where he now is: on the ways and means committee where he is so valuable to the par ty and the country. They talked of Garrard and Ba con, and the difference in their methods. One seems jealous-heart ed and thrusts at his opponent, saying unkind things, reducing the race to personalism :the other, big hearted eschews all personal ism, conducts his campaign on a high plane,pleading for unity har mony peace within the party, at tempting to restore brotherly love and lift our politics from the mire of demagogy int© an atmosphere of honesty and purity preferring to build up love of party and love of country rather than parade bis owrf individual claimes and Jmerits. The boys laughed at the Atlanta Gazette for attempting to discount Maj. Bacon’s Democracy. The Ga zette, a new-comer to Georgia, had never known that in the national campaign of 1888, the first cam paign after Maj. Bacon’s defeat in 1886, the national Democratic ex ecutive committee called on Maj. Bacon to serve the committee. This he did £for three months. And in 1892, when the execu* ive committee insisted that he again serve them. This he did. getting back to Georgia only in time to make a few speeched. Gen. Gordon, in his recent speech in the senate, referred to himself as a tanner. And so he is. His farm in Taylor county is one of the most valuable in the state. Maj. Bacon could, if he chose so to do, refer to himself as a farmer. For he has lived on a farm in the suburbs of East Macon—a pretty farm of some 500 acres, Gn this farm some years ago, he built a residence for himself and family. It is called “Baconsfield,” aud is one of the most pleasant places to visit in the state. Mrs. Bacon and her daughter, Mrs. Manly Curry, like the Major himself, understand the art of in tertainiug. aud know how to make one feel at home. Major Bacon is like Geu. Toombs in his fondness tor agricultural pursuits. Even when Gen. 1 oombs was the Confederacy’s secretary of state and living in Richmond, he kept himself thoroughly posted about the details of his farm, and would often write his oversers that by a given day he should be ploughing a certain field. But Maj. Bacon alludes so little to hims< If in his speeches that the pub lic never knows that he is a farmer, living on his farm: woulu never know that °he served the national “Demo cratic executive committee in the cam paigns of’Bß and ’92; would never know that he was a member of the Georgia legislature twelve years, and for eight years speaker of the house; would never know what a prominent part he took in rescuing Georgia in the days of reconstruction, and was one of the men who drove Bullock from the state, put grand old Milt. Smith jn the gubernatorial chair, and started Georgia on her triumphal march of restoration and progress. ROME GEORGIA. MONDAY EVENING AUGUST. 27 1894. COTTON TIES.

Lexington, Ky., Aug. 26.—The famous evangelist, George E. Barnes, delivered a sermon in the court house here tonight which electrified his large audience, as it was a powerful appeal to all Chris tians to vote tor Colonel Breckin ridge for congress. He cited Bible authority to prove that he was right, and said that he pitied the preacher who had so little of the spirit of Chris tianity in them as to denounce the colonel. These remarks created a wonder ful effect on his hearers. About twenty of them got up and went out, and one man asked Barnes in a loud voice “How much did you get for this?” Ex-State Treasurer S. G. Sharp, who is a strong Breckinridge man ( went to the interrupter and told him to hush. He soon left. For a while the scene was an ex. citing one, some cheering the preacher, others condemning him and all wrought up to the highest pitch. Such a scene has seldom been witnessed here at a religious meet ing, but quiet was finally restored and Barnes concluded his address by begging his hearers to be for given. ’ DEMOCRATS ATTENTION!

THE DEAL IS CLOSED And on September3oth the First ship ofthe Headl Line Will sail for the United Kingdom. This is Business?" Brunswick, Ga ~ August 27 — Without any intimation to the outside world a Brunswick fi> lll has established direct trade be tween Brunswick and Liverpool and commencing on September 30th a line of five British steam ships will began to ply regularly every two weeks between Georgia and the United Kingdom. The Line has been established by the Brunswick Terminal Com pany through their president. Ma jor A. F. Churchill and the con summation of the deal was so quiet that all Brunswick will be both astonished and delighted when it is made public. The movement was set on foot some time ago by Major Churchill and last May the matter had reach ed such a favorable point through correspondence that he made a personal visit to England and spent several weeks closing the deal. Ou his return to this country nothing was said about the deal until all preliminary arrangements were made and then circular let ters were addressed to exporters throughout the south and w* st in forming them of the new move ment. In an interview with Major Churchill today he informed The Constitution correspondent that the owners of the line were the U1 ster Steamship Company, limited, with C. E. DeWolf & Co. Liver pool, agents. The line is styled “Head Line,’’ with five first-class steim*rs be tween Brunswick and Liverpool for both passengers and freigh’, The steamship and their ton nage are: Ramore Head, 4 444 ton ; Mishowen Head, 3,050 tons; Bengore Head, 2,458 tons; Dun mo e Head, 2,229 tons; Se<-liij Head* 1,667 tons. The Ramore Head is one of the heaviest tonnage steamships that ever entered a southern port. The propoe sed sailings are Mishowen Head on September 30tln to be followed by other steamers weeks with thronph bills of lading granted from all points. In addition to these steamers the Terminal company 7 will have frequent sailings to Bremen and Hamburg during the seasor with full and spring sailings to the Baltic. This new move is tne best one from a commercial standpoint recorded from Brunswick in years, and Geor gia and the whole sothern coutry will be immensely benefited by it. The commencing of this line will make the annual exports from Bruns wick extraordinarily large, compared with previous exports, and will have a beneficial effect in furnishing to an additional large number of laborers and skilled workmen around vessels. THEY BROKE JAIL. Two Negroes Under Sentence Got Out ofthe Jail at Gibson. Gibson, Ga; Augtst 27. (Spe cial.)
