Georgia. if truth from the lips OF friend, may not
sometimes contribute to awaken her attention. we
have heard from recent observer, curious contrast
drawn between her condition and that OF her immedi'

from South Carolina. The Banks oil the former are
very much embarrassed and their paper much depre.

day last had been fixed upon for proceeding to the
election The last rnmor from MIedgevllle was, that
both hlessrs Coquitt and lverson might be drop and
Gov Lumpkin taken up
| Sorru CARoLlyA-The Legislature assembled at
Columbia on the 9th inst The organization OF both
branches entirely Republican, and IN the Senate,
Angus Patterson reelected President IN the House.
' w f. Cocock was re elected Speaker. On the 2Sth,
the long looked for resignation Of Senator Preston
transmitted 10 the Legslature-hIs resignation to take
effect Immediately. Mr.. McDuihe will no doubt sue
ceed him. 1t is also reported, that Mr. Calhoun would
esgn in few days-hs resignation TO take effect after
he present session Of Congress. 1t will be difficult
erhaps impossible, to supply his place in the councils
O. the nation. We regret his determination, because
tie Senate of the United States is now the post OF
h,nor and the post of utility. Mr. Albert Rhett has
aready presented resolutions which were Immediately
cm.idered raising committee 10 consist oil one men,
be from each Congressional District, to act with the
Committee of the Senate to report bull to regulate
thu Congressional Districts of this State. These reso-
utons were adopted.
1'he Charleston Courier, of Saturday morning,
which reached US By Yesterdays mail, states, that "the
runcrs as to the intended resignation Of this distinguish
ed Senator and Statesman, (Alr. Calhoun)-so long,
and still the popular idol of this Stae-from his seat
IN tie Senate of the Union is gathering strength every
day and speculation is becoming riie and the canvass

spccations on the subject contained IN recent letters
from Columbia coming from highly respectable sources
Extract of letter, dated Columbian Dec. 1912
"Ak Preston has resigned, consequently an election

McDuie will be unanimously chosen. His health,
however is at present bad tina, fears entertained

prominent of all is Judge lluger.
There i, another on dit to day, that Mr. Calhoun has
also tenered his resgna:ion TO take effect on the 4h

NoRrm ,aEoLIxa.-We have various rumors Of the
movement, which now going on at Raleigh. We
have headthem with great regret; but We must state
them from deep sense of public duty We learn that
the Republican party have had three caucuses Tor the
purpose of secting candidate for the Senate of the u
S. They ae distracted by rival candidates, and are IN
danger Of hing torn IN pieces, unless the republican
members tale the matter into their own hands, upon
higher key, md put down the undue aspirations OF 100
ambitious anil too busy solicitors. What shall we think
Of candidate for so elevated office az that of Sena

the members f the Legislature know what is due TO
themselves hey will tell such asplrants at once,
Wait sir, i'll we want you. The Office belongs to the
peope of Norh Carolina, and not TO you. We, their
AGENTS will seect yon if please, to represent her IN
the Senate Of ae United Staes; and it is unnecessary
for YOU to trouble with tho repetition Of your clams
for if they wen already known, we should never
think of eecn! you Far better would 1t be for US to
90 Mt once to ta rank and file oil the party, and take
some modest aad meritorious man, who has no amb
ton TO r the Office bg who has ability enough
to discharge its lutes. The fact is, must repress
this inordnate ambition for office, the Republic will
rue the consequences. The accounts from Raleigh
NAV probably have reached in exaggerated
form, but we feu, that after making every allow
ance they are disgusting. The rumor is, that the
last Caucus ION last Friday night broke up in

lest the whole patty should be broken in twain in

waves at once qnell all discussion, to restore the
harmony and unioi OF the party and not to permit the
