The pike roads between Macon

Yellow lever will, no doubt, have
Its effect on commerce. Trade will
be stagnant for several months in
Florida and Mississippi.
The Homer correspondent to the
Constitution of the 25th inst.,
thinks “that Mr. Coggins will be
elected to represent us in the next
Legislature.” Glad he thinks so,
Birmingham, Ala. had frost 25th

The assurance to Texas, that she
lias no yellow fever, and is not like
ly to have this season, does not
keep her from being a little shy,
She gives hints occasionally about
shutting her gates—especially in
Dallas and Fort Worth.
Politics in Georgia are getting
red-hot with the colored man. He
wants the republicans to put him
in representation in the legislature,
the nalional halls ot congress and
the senate.
-lust after the war the negro was
satisfied if the republicans would
give him that “forty acres and a
mule” they promised him. They
never done it; but they gave him
power to vote, so that he might
keep them in otlice. Now he wants
cilice at their hands, but they can’t
give it to him—they wouldn't if
they could.
What has become of Blaine?
The Trusts’ must have him walled
in for fear of being made into bag
ging. He hasn’t been heard from
in several weeks on the bagging
swindle. He bit oil’too big apiece
when he undertook to tell the U.
S. this syndicate was an individu
al affair lhat the cotton-planters
must come to.
lialeigh, N, C. closed her gates
on Florida and other yellow fever
points, 25th inst. There is nothing
like being in style. It would not
do for (he boards of health of every
little hamlet town to let this op
portunity slip. They must keep
apace with their larger neighbors,
if they be recognized as points of
trade with the commercial world.
And the fleeing refugees were
met with shot-guns along the Mis
sissippi river. This was a true in
dication of Ihe hostility and barbar
ism that exists in the Mississippi
Valley. These llity and illiterate
creatures are fever proof. There
is only one thing that gets next to
their hide—a drowning out every
year or two.
Meridian, Miss., lias concluded
it is belter to starve her people to
deafh, than let them die of yellow
fever. No freights are allowed to
come within twenty miles. The
stores have exhausted their sup
plies, and the people are closed in
want. Guards are stationed at all
points. Those going out are not
allowed to return for twenty days.
, Correspondents from Belton,
writing to the Clarksville Adver
tiser, says, “To-day, Pickett is a
better democrat than Candler.’’
The only reason with the above
writers for believing this: They
are Pickett men and disorganizes.
Be il to the praise of the 9th con
gressional district, there is but few
of these sort of democrats in her
bounds. They are disorganizers
iu sympathy with the republican
party. The sooner they vote the
straight-out republican ticket, the
better for the democratic party.
Pickett vs. Candler.
Pickett spoke here last Saturday
as he had announced previous by
gome small dodgers. A good crowd
was present. lie held them about
three hours. His speech was scat
tering. The only point of interest in
his argument was the Blair Educa
tional Bill, He charged Col. Can
dler with its defeat so far. Cand
ler was chairman of the committee
and had no vote. Seven to five of
the committee voted against the
passage of the bill. Had the vote
been a tie then Mr. Candler would
have had a vote. He made other
petty charges, but Col. Candler be
ing present refuted them*
Pickett is a shrewd man. His
chances in this district for congress
are out of the question.
Pickett came here in a closed
carriage, made the acquaintance of
but a few, addressed the crowd and
left,
Col. Candler listened attentive
ly to Pickett's speech, in which
were some very insulting and false
accusations thrust at him. But the
colonel understood the occasion,
and carried out the principles of a
gentleman ot fine sense of honor,
which he is.
After Mr, Pickett closed Col.
Candler asked his presence, but lie
left at once.
Col. Candler made a few re
marks, refuting Pickett’s charges.
These were not necessary, especial
ly in Banks.
Col. McCarty was present, and
simply informed the voters he was
the nominee lor senator in this dis
trict, and wanted his name placed
on their ticket, which had already
been done.
Col. J, N. Ross, one of the edit
ors of the Jackson Herald, accom
panied Col. McCarty over here,
Mr, Ross gave the Observer a so
cial call.
Afraid of Him,
The following incident which we
copy from the Washington correspon
dence of the Gainesville Eagle, shows
that the ILpablicans in' congress are
heartily afraid of Col. Candler and his
course in the Honse of Representatives.
What could more stroDgly commend
him to the hearty support of every
true democrat in the 9ih district than
this? Here is the extract:
“ While standing at the Metropoli
tan Hotel cigar counter, glancing over

Senator, 111 be d—d it 1 don’t be

that that little fellow Candler, from
Georgia, is going to get left and I hope

Lower, Butte, Agensy,—via. Cham
berlin, Dak., September 27.—A coun
cil of the Sioux delegates with their
agents, has met here to discuss the Si
oux bill for signatures. They met to
day lor their second day's work. The
bill having been fully explained by
the commissioners yesterday, the In
dians wera to day expected to state
their objections ©r opinions, and to
ask for any needed information. Af-
Americue, Ga., Sept. 27.—Cabrles
Blackman, tbe murderer of Stonewall
Tondee, has been sentenced to be hang
ed on the 19th of October. Black
man was self-possessed and did not
seem to appreciate the solemnity of
the situation.
Chas. Blackman, as the evidence
goes, walked deliberately np to the
back of the store in which Mr. Ton
dee was clerking, and there, in the
darkness of night, with malice afore
thought, deliberately murdered tho said
Tondee. The deed was committed ia
September 1885, since which time ev
ery effort has been made to save Black
man’s neck without avail. Now, for
the last time, ha is sentenced to be
hanged. He has cost Behley county
thousands of dollars, and when dispos
ed of tbe county will breathe a breath
of relief. After tho sentence was pro
nounced the sheriff and guaids return
ed to the train, which immediately left
for Americas.
