LOCAL PARAGRAPHS Curtailed News Items of Passing Interest. < CULLINGS OF THE PAST WEEK. Something to Interest Our Towns people and Country Neighbors. Mrs. F. J. Spratling has returned to the city, after a delightful visit to relatives and friends in Augusta, Oa. Mrs. M. Fitzgerald, who died at her home on Dunn street Thursday night, was buried at Westview on Friday afternoon. Rev. M, F. Harmon and family leave the city on Sunday for a visit to Kentucky, and will go to Cincinnati to attend the Jubilee Convention of the Missionary Societies of the Christian Church. The friends of Mr. Lewis Archer, foreman of Southern Railway shops, will be glad to learn that he is able to be out again.

Miss Jessie Caldwell, the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Cald well, was married on Wenesday. Oct. 4th, at the home of her parents on Lee street, to Mr. King, of New York City. The bride was a lovable and popular young lady. They «ill reside in New York City. The Primary Election. We have said that primary elections have been diverted from their original purpose. We still think that the sys tem has been diverted, but we cannot say perverted. We still think that the plan of a bunch or knot of men get ting together and scheming to set for ward any special set of candidates, is not proper, after the setting of a pri mary for the selection of candidates. It forestalls the true primary. It cats off fair competition at the polls. It overrules the plans of the constituted committee, who are authorized to pre pare plans for the primary. Such methods of forestalling and overriding properly constituted committees we do not believe is the way for fair play and true harmony. But in the plan of conducting the primary, we believe it is a fine system. It prevents many ,<jt tha old ele.«tfa>a ivami- election days. Candidates have a fair and equal chance at the polls. Hack hirelings and ward heelers have passed away. We commend _the system, and we heartily approve and endorse the primary system at the election pre cincts. We think the City Executive Committee did a graceful and proper thing when they gave a vote of ap proval and thanks to Capt. W. H. Brotherton, who has so faithfully worked out and and set in practice such an excellent plan for manage ment at the precincts. We think he deserves much praise for his skillful plan. Now let the executive commit tee prepare appropriate rules to pre vent any more forestalling, and re quire all candidates to stand squarely out before the people without any previous dining saucuses, or any back-room indorsement, by self-con stituted committees. Let them do away with any preliminary so-called massmeetings, gotten up to favor cer tain men, or corporations, and let such tricks and schemes be set aside, as with the heelers, and the primary system may have much in it to be fa vored. Such preliminary schemes are but another plan and advance action of hackers and heelers, on a concen trated form. Away with them. Let us have a canvass open to all who wish to be candidates, let the people choose of them, and give us a free ballot and fair count. ENTERTAINMENT. The ladies of St. Mary’s Guild, of the Church of the Incarnation, in West End, will give an interesting enter tainmentin Caldwell’s Hall next Tues day evening, October 10th, with oyster supper, coffee, cakes, and tea. All the generous folks are invited to at tend and contribute. The charge is moderate, only 25 cents. Fun is to .fee the order of social enjoyment. DECLINED TO RECONSIDER. Carolina Board of Control Keep« Douthit Out. A Columbia, S. C., dispatch says: Thursday morning the state board of control upon assembling took up the ■Pouthit case, and voted down a reso lution by Mr. Williams looking to a further hearing for Mr. Douthit. The division of the members was the same. As soon as the official notice of removal is served on Mr. Douthit his attorneys will serve a paper on the board setting forth that Mr. Douthit declines to vacate the office until “legally removed.” This will doubtless cause tjie whole matter to be aired in the courts. PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS On Handing Dewey the Congress ional Sword of Honor—The Admiral’s Reply.

It gives me extreme pleasure and great honor in behalf of all the people to hand you this sword, the gift of the nation voted by the congress of the United States. ” The president handed the admiral the sword with a deep bow, and there was a roar of applause as Dewey re ceived it. The crowd was hushed as he turned to reply. Admiral Dewey said: “I thank you, Mr. President, for this great honor you have conferred upon me. I thank the secretary of the navy for his gracious words. I thank my countrymen for this beauti ful gift, which shall be an heirloom in my family forever as an evidence that republics are not ungrateful, and I thank you, Mr. Chairman and gentle men of the committee, for the gracious, cordial and kindly welcome which you have given me to my home.” CARTER IN COURT.

One city lot, 27x93, on Woodward avenue, in Atlanta, Ga. Three lots, 50x150 feet each, alto gether being Nos. 14, 15 and 16, on Mt. Zion avenue, in the village of Mt. Zion, Carroll county, Ga. One lot, No, 114, in block 17, in Montrose Park, Montrose county Col orado. Six acres on Satterfield Ford road, 5 miles from Greenville, in Greenville county, S. C. Three lots at Montreal, on G. C. & N. railroad, DeKalb county, Ga. One lot 52x120 feet, on west side of Violet avenue, Atlanta, Ga. 1,100 acres; 700 hammock, 400 up land, in Screven county, Ga. This is a fine place, divided by the Georgia Central railroad, 50 miles from Savan nah. Railroad station on the place; good location for country store. Splendid situation for factory for staves and cooperage works. Enough good tim ber on the hammock land to pay for the place three or four times over. Investors are invited to examine this place. 1.149 acres on west bank of Savan nah river, in Effingham county, Ga., giant of 1784, and descent of title to present owner. 1.150 acres on Satilla river, in Cam dem county, Ga., grant from state, and deeds on record for 100 years back. Good title, by descent to pres ent owner. 1,150 acres on St. Mary’s river, in Camden county, Ga. Grant aud deeds on record 100 years back. Good title, by descent to present owner. 430 acres on west bank of Savannah river, in Screven county, Ga. Deeds on record since 1827. Good title, by descent to present owner. All of these lands are available for agriculture, stock raising, mining, or timbers. Some few of the lots in north Georgia are in the hills, but they have the advantage of being sit uated in the finest section of country for minerals. Several of these lots have been examined, or, as the assay ists and miners would say, have been prospected, and found to bear fine de posits of gold, silver, iron, copper and marble. The state of Georgia is de veloping some of the finest mineral resources in this country, in coal, co rundum, gold, silver, copper, man ganese, and other minerals,and marble, also a variety of the finest timbers for all sorts of manufactures of wooden wares and furniture. The state is noted for its salubrious climate, and its remarkable adaptability for all kind! of agricultural products, fruits and vegetables. Some of these lands, now offered, are as fine as any in the world for fruits and cereals. A prominent real estate journal, the “American Land and Title Register," recently used a paragraph under the head of “Investments and Specula tions,” and it impresses me as being so appropriate, that I quote it here as follows: "Real estate is the thing, above all others, that furnishes a field for investment that is absolutely safe ”?d profit bearing. It is the material interest itself, and it cannot be de stroyed by bad management, extrava gant methods, competition, ’ casualty, dishonesty in management or legisla tion. Its value cannot be depressed by any of these causes. Investments in real estate, judiciously made, can not fail to be profitable. If you want to get rich, buy real estate aud know what you are getting; if you want to gamble, buy stocks and let some one else know what they are giving you.” I desire to sell these lands as soon as possible, and they must go at low prices, very low for cash, or on easy terms and long time with 5 per cent interest, as purchasers may desire and prefer. Persons desirous of investing money for future profits by enhance ments should examine these offers at once. I have other lands, which I will sell on good terms and low prices. In writing for information about any of these lands, refer to them by th/? number, district, section and county, and enclose two stamps, 4 cents, for reply. Robert L. Rodgbbs, ts Attorney at Law, Atlanta, Ga. A Letter of Confereiice7 SUBSCRIPTION DEPARTMENT. One Year $1.0(1 Six Months 50 Three Months 30 One Month 12 408 “Tho Grand” —Office of “The Georgia Record,” Atlanta, Georgia. To Readers of The Record: Perhaps yon are aware of the publi cation of “Tub Georgia Record,” a weekly newspaper issued every Satur day. It is increasing in interest amongst those who have been reading it from the first issue. We desire aud hope to make it still more, interesting as we progress with it. We are particularly desirous of having your name on our list as a regular subscriber and reader, and as a helper in our progress and improvement. We are planning to make it a first-class journal of the times, or, as its name imports, we wish to make it “The Gbobgia Record” of all notable persons or noteworthy events. In order to ac complish our purpose, it is necessary for our patrons to aid us in a substan tial way, and so it becomes essential to have subscriptions paid up in ad vance, or as closely as possible, for the mutual benefit of subscriber and pub lisher. Our subscription price is very small, simply about the cost of the paper. If we can have it in advance we certainly can apply it for better ad vantage than if wo have to vait for it some time. Os course the small sum of one subscription can be paid by yon as well at one time as another. To you it is a small item. In the aggre gate the matter is important to the publisher. One subscription may be merely a mite. One thousand may be mighty or much to the progressive de velopment of the newspaper. Os course the mutual advantage of ad vance payment of your subscription will bo obvious to you on a moment’s consideration. You are now respectfully requested to let us have your subscription money by return mail, or otherwise as may be convenient to you, as early as practi cable. Will yon not be pleased to re mit the price for one year,—one dol lar? Os course for a shorter time, if you prefer it, but a year will be the better for both of us. If it is not con venient for yon to remit, just write us a few words on a postal card to call on you, and we will appear before you very soon. We feel confident that a trial of subscription will so interest you, that you will continue to be n regular sub scriber. Please respond promptly. Very Cordially Yours, Robert L. Rodgers, Editor and Publisher of “The Geor gia Record.” If WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS Obtained By Counsel of Captain Carter on Plea of Illegal Sentence. Counsel for Captain Oberlin M.
