The State Fair.

The premium list of the Georgia State
fair, which Will be opened at Macon Oc-
tober - next, and will continue one week,
has been issued. The list has been made
up with great care. skill and Judgment.
Attention has been given to about every
thing that will likely be exhibited. The
premiums are not only well worth COM
peting for, but are calculated to encour-
age competition. There is no necessity
for saying a word about the man.
agement of the fair. 1t is
composed of gentlemen who are widely
known and who possess every qualitica-
ton necessary to make the enterprise a
success. A deeper interest is felt in the
fair this year than usual. 1t is under
stood that many of the exhibits will be
prepared with the view of sending them
to the cotton centennial at New Orleans
after they have served their purpose at
Macon. 1t may be reasonably expected,
therefore, that the Macon fair will
present the choicest of everything
that the State produces. The
farm, the mine, the forest and The factory
will each contribute its share. But be-
cause it is the purpose of some to make
Macon only a hating place, as it were,
on their way to the greater fair at New
Orleans, those who have no such purpose
should not be discouraged from doing
what they can to help along the State en-
terprise. Georgia is as capable of making
as fine an exhibit as any State in the
Union, and the fair at Macon in October
ought to surpass all previous State fairs.

There is a probability that when the
expeditions now exploring in Alaska re-
turn. there will be a rush to that region
that will equal if not exceed the California
craze Of thirty-fiye years ago. The coast
and rivers Of the territory are said to
TEEN with fish, the hills and mountains 10
be filed with minerals, while the forests
contain almost inexhaustible supplies of
timber aud fur-bearing animals. Alaska
is so far of, however, that men will have
to possess some means to get there, and
instead of taking the overland trail, its
pioneers will be carried by rail and
steamer to the portals Of the territory. 1t
requires a pretty adventuresome spirit to
induce man to tear loose from civiliza-
ton and go to Alaska in search Of ''Dame
Fortunes golden smiles" but there are
plenty who will do so.

The proper thing for Russellville

organize a Cleveland and Hendricks
club. Let a meeting be called at
once for this purpose. We would
suggest one for tomorrow night at

this club. Hon. Mr.. Bragg, of Wis

ground that be was the candidate of
the young democracy, who repre-
sented in his person the new life and
new blood of the new democracy.
The democracy specially invites
young men into its folds, and they
can afford to come and stand where

all means, let's have rousing meet.

to a jug at the democratic consen
lion. We don't believe ii conceal
mentss The R.sfecter does. We
mentioned orr Jug. The Reflector
did not mention his bottle. Nobody
IN the county was responsible for
the jug. Somebody IN the county,
we opine, was responsible for the
bottle. A mans procliyities will
crop out. As we have stated, our
neighbor believes in concealment.
We asked him time ard again GER
tain question about his political an

For the benefit OF those who are
carping about heavy taxation, it may
not be amiss to call attention to the
fact that in 1870 and III the tax
payers of Pope county paid s3I.50
on thousand dollars worth Of prop
erty, while in 1888 they paid just
SIT, on the same amount. a saving
OF $3.50, or nearly hundred per
cent. reduction. 1t may be of furth-
er interest to enquire what party
was in power in 10 and II, and
what IN SO? Seeing such reduc-
ton under democratic rule and !,
further reduction for the next year
of 10 cents on the 500, it might be
OF interest to enquire the cause of
the complaint, and the clamor for a
change which we hear in certain
quarters. Men who are interested
can see the point.

WHEN man voluntarily assumes
the groveling attitude in politics in
which he confesses himself to have

such way as to make it appropri-
ate for him in a public assembly To
state that he had asked God to be
forgiven, the question is. what must
be the inference in regard to that
mani 1t was all right for him to res
pond TO the computations Of con-
science IN such confession, il he
had been guilty of conduct vile
enough to make it necessary. But
in the light Of his boosted independ-
ence and his claim to such pure
record in politics, and especially IN,
democracy, who, oh, who, could
have imagined the Editor of the Re

did all the same. Well if it really
was to purge himself that he was

The political situation in the coun-
ty at this time is one which while
it may not awaken fear still excites
solicitude. To see men unduly ex-
cited on political matters naturally
leads to an Investigation OF the caus
es. Looking for the cause OF the
excitement among our people nat
urally locates Cur attention upon the
men engaged in working it up, and,
when you have their political prin-
ciples and associations, yon will in a
great measure have the means on
which to account for the excitement.
When you see political excitement
among the people and see it fathered
and fostered by democrats, you don't
ask where to place the responsibility.
You know already. Well, the rule is
as simple as to any other party, and
by this rule it will not be difficult to
determine the quarter most interest
ed in this new Independent move
ment. We need not call the names
of the men who have done the most
riding and the most talking, who
have visited the most lodges in the
interest of this new movement.
Their names are known, and it is
easy to find out their past political
associations, and when the trouble
is taken to do that, then, If its char
acter be republican or democratic,
it will soon be discovered. One thing
is certain, true and tried democrats
were not the men who lead the van
in this movement. A few such fol-
lowed it to the Center Valley con-
vention, and there they washed their
hands OF it. Some good democrats
still remain in the movement, but
few, il any Of them, can claim to
have been the Instruments in bring
ing it to its present attitude. They
are there more from their accidental
surroundings than anything else. To
set down and plan and fight for a
measure to compass democratic de-
feat is not the characteristic of dem
ocrats. 1t is characteristic of repub-
licans however, and of course favor
able conditions for thei- purposes Of
hatred will not be sighted by them.
We are writing now with charity to
all and malice toward none with the
hope that democrats may ponder
carefully what has been said.
