have seen letter from a Chicago
dealer to Mr.. Sanders asking about the
latters cabbages, of which the dealer
had seen shipment. He pronounced
them the finest cabbages in the Chi

Mr.. Redhead is shipping over fifty
barrels of potatoes per acre. Ger
tainly this success at the outset will
influence a greatly increased acreage

Ii now appears that the long looked
for Georgia Pacific railroad is at last
about to be constructed, that is, the
extension from Columbus to Johnson
vile.
The contractors have begun work
in earnest along the line between this
point and Carrollton, and the graders
are making good headwsy. The right
of way having been secured and clear
ed, the hands begun to break dirt near
the camps-one of which is mile and
a half from town, and the other about
six miles. They are going right
through the hills and filling in the
sinks. At the rate of progress they
are making now, The work of a few
weeks will make considerable show.
In company with several gentlemen
VIC visited the first camps Thursday
evening, where everything seems to
be Systematically arranged and carried
ON in a business like way. Near this
camp the work of grading has CON-
nenccd, and the work is being brought
towards town. We are told that the
first four miles west of town is the
worst part of the route, and that
seems to give them but little trouble
We shall have more to say on this sub
ject as the work advances.-Winona

The Hon. j. G. Longstreet SO COM
pletely captivated the State Democratic
convention by his eloquent yet modest
speech in presenting the name Of Hon.
l.. NJ. Southworth for presidential
elector, that at its conclusion cheers of
Hurrah for Longstreet' were almost
deafening. Hon. NJ. II. Jones immedi-
ately placed Longstreet himself in
nomination and every delegate was
instantly on his feet seconding his
nomination and shouting vociferously
for his success. Mr.. Longstreet insis-
ted that his name be withdrawn, which
was finally done. Hon. j. s. Madison
instantly renewed the nomination
amid scene of the widest enthusi-
asm, but second time Mr.. Longstreet
successfully pleaded that it be with
drawn. General W. 4. Martin then
presented Mr.. Longstreet's name for
the third time saying that he wanted
to show what kind of intellects the
State University was turning out, and
again the crowd sent up as one man
the deafening shout Of "Longstreet !!
Longstreet!n But true to the pledged
support of his friend Mr.. Longstreet
again declined.-Ncw Mississippian.
We understand from various promi-
nent gentlemen that no such ovation
was ever given to any man of his age
in the State as was given to the
Hon. j. G. Longstreet on this occa-
sion; and with but very few excep-
tions, under similar circumstances, no
man of any age ever received higher,
more simultaneous and expressive
compliment. The State convention
was composed of as able a body of
men as ever assembled on such an oc-
casion, and Mr.. Longstreet may GER
tainly feel proud of a compliment that
is reserved for the few. But when
one knows of Mr.. Longstreets aflablc
ways, genial nature, educated mind
and splendid talents, together with the
extraordinary record he has made in
the last two Legislatures, such gen
erous offering is not to be wondered
at. We believe that Mr.. Longstreet is
the most popular young man in the
State, and that he has future before
him that will lead TO the highest civil
and political distinctions within the
gift of the country, If properly man
aged.-Grenada Sentinel.

Last Tuesday, John Cranberry, a

and killed the wife of his half brother,
Tom Downing. The dead woman
who was very small, is claimed to have

AT about quarter past eight o'clock
last night the store house, commonly
known as the commissary of Hamper
& Buschman, was discovered to be on
fire. The fire originated on the inside
The general supposition is that the
safe, which contained abuot $l16 in
money and the books and valuable pa
pers belonging to the store and mill,
was robbed and then the house set on
fire. The safe showed evidence of be-
ing blowed open, as it was lying flat
down and the door vide open. There
is no suspicion as to who committed
the offense. Mr.. Duscbman states the
total loss is about $4,000 with no insur-
ance. Fortunately the fire was con-
fined to the store house by the prompt
action of the citizens, who worked
manfully TO prevent the fire from
spreading to the lumber which sur
rounded the building in endless guam
titles. Nothing was saved. All the
books and papers were consumed in
the fire. II is hoped the fiend, whoev-
er he may be, will be caught and JUS

the aims and objects of the company.
From il we learn that the company
has purchased upwards of 10000 acres
of land along the IIomochitto river
and the L., n. O. Il I. Railroad. At
the point where the railroad crosses
the river, town site has been located,
and 1t is proposed TO settle some five
hundred families at and near this
point. The land is to be divided into
small tracts, varying from five to one
hundred and sixty acres. These will
be sold to settlers on long time pay
ments. The company will build houses
where the purchaser is not able to
build themselves. Churches and
school houses will be erected by the
company, in order that the colonists
may enjoy all the privileges now en-
joyed in their Northern homes.--Natch-

The Tee theological School.

Georgia's school of technology will open
on Oct 8 The faculty was elected some
weeks ago. and is composed of the best
obtainable talent. The number of students
to be admitted Is $50, and if that number IS
not made up under the plan adopted, any
| Georgia boy who satisfactorily passes the
! required examination will be admitted,
until the limit is reached Possibly there
will not be $50 students at first but after a
while the demand for Abundance to the
| school will exceed its Accommodations.
Several facts connected with the school
arc worthy of notice One of them is that
the time of the students will he divided
equally between the academic and the
mechanical departments. For instance, the
student will be put to work in the machine
shop on, say, Monday afternoon, and will
resume work there Tuesday morning. The
next days work will be devoted TO some
study in the academic department.. An
other is that nearly one-half of the school
apparatus will be made by the students. In
his purchases, DR.. Hopkins confined Kim
self principally to those machines made of
glass leaving those constructed of iron,
brass and steel TO be made by the students
Still another is that articles made by the
students will be sold in the open market.
Nothing will be made to throw away, and
thus the best attention to the work will be
required.
There is one drawback connected with the
institution, however. The commission says
it has no authority to use portion of the
appropriation for the purchase of a refer
ence library. Dr. Hopkins talks about get
ing together library by contributions of
books from different sources, but that plan
would hardly do. OF course some sort of
library could be secured in that way, but
it would be very incomplete. Perhaps
dozen or more people would contribute the
same book, which, after all, might not be
what was required There are men in
Georgia who could give the amount re-
quired for a complete and modern library,
and never miss it. Quite number of these
men live in Savannah. it would be an act
to be proud of, and to be remembered by
future generations. The library is very
important adjunct to the schools outfit.
The benefits to be derived from this insti-
tuition are incalculable. They will become
more apparent as young men educated in it
show in practical way, and in different
parts of the state, the good effects of their
technical education.

The discussion of the question, Is mar
rage failure! has been going on for some
time in the English press, and the question
has recently received considerable atten-
ton from some of the American
newspapers. Very likely it will be dis
cussed throughout the country. A notable
feature of the discussion is that great
many people incline to the belief that mar
riage is a failure.
As it is not a failure, and cannot be, the
question arises. why do these people adopt
tie wrong view? 1t is probably because
they belong to two classes-one composed

opinions of marriage from the reports of

found out that the institution is not one to
be entered into without elaboration, nor
to be considered in the light of mere finan-
cial venture.

Revolt Against Malone.

Ex-senator Malone, of Virginia, after
quitting the Democratic party, owed his
political power in that state TO the stead
fastness with which the colored voters stood
by him. 1t appears that his power is likely
to be destroyed partially, because of a
revolt among the same class of voters
against his bCssism.
Malone wants one of his henchmen to go
to congress from his (Mahone's district,
and when John NJ. Langston, colored
man well known in Virginia, aud not
unknown out of it, announced his
intention of becoming ndidate
for the nomination, the little boss became
red in the face, and declared that mo negro
should be nominated" Generally, sucl a
declaration would be accepted by the re-
pubicans of the district as an order, and
would be obeyed accordingly, but in this
instance it served to strengthen Langston'S
determination to run, and to make the col
ored voters defiant. Langston, it is said, had
ma jority of the delegates when the con-
vention met the other day, but by some
trlckery, of which Malone is master it was
arranged that of the eighty-five delegates
to be admitted, only thirty-one should be
Langston delegates. The outcome has been
stated in our dispatches. Two conventions
were held, one nominating Laogston and
the other nominating Mahone's man Friday.
This is not the first revolt against Ma
homes authority, but it seems to be more
serious than the others, because it is among
the class of voters upon whom the ex-sena-
tor could always depend for support. Sen
ator Riddleberger and Messrs. Wise and
Brady have previously fallen out with the
boss, but they were unable TO put him
down so long as he was backed by the col
ored people. A defeat of Mahone's bench
man, either by Langston or the democratic
candidate, would mean reputation of Ma
hone and his bosssm.
But Malone is not a man TO be defeated
easily He is up to all the tricks of politics,
and when he undertakes to carry a point,
he fights with a dash that commands adj
miration, but with degree of dishonesty
that sckens healthy conscience.
The district has a large republican ma
jority, and it is possible that one of the
republican candidates may be elected; at
the same time, the split in the party affords
a chance of democratic success, and the
republican vote may be SO evenly divided
between the fractional candidates that a
democrat will step in. There is no prob
ability that either Langston or the Malone
candidate will come down.

Politics and the Alliance.

Is that organization of agrlcultursts, the
Farmers Alliance, to be converted into
political club? That it contains, in some
states, politicians whose purpose is to use
it for their political advancement is not to
be doubted; whether these politicians sue
coed in their designs remains to be seen.
In Southeast Missouri the alliance is in a
bad way. 1t pays no attention to agricult-
ural matters, but has gone regularly into
politics. and III the different counties of
that section there are alliance candidates
for legislature and for county offices. The
president of the Missouri state alliance
lives in Southeast Missouri, and he is a dis
appointed office-seeker, who, having been
twice defeated fairly for office. has sue
ceeied in baving himself placed at the mead
of this agricultural organization, and is
working it for his personal and political
advancement.
Do the members of the alliance in the
different states think they will benefit them
selves by turning politicians! 1t is de-
manded of every citizen, whether he be
farmer, lawyer, merchant or what not, to
attend to politics in season, and to vote so
as to promote good government; but it is
hardly necessary, in order to meet the de-
mands Of good citizenship, that farmers
club, or mercantile exchange, or a law
yers' association should turn from those
things which directly affect its members,
and devote its energies to the election to
political office of some man, or set of men.
In fact, if such course should be adopted,
these organizations would soon die o.t.
The Georgia alliance is to be congratl-
lated that it has kept out Of politics pretty
well. AT a meeting of one of the county
organizations the other day, a resolution
was adopted which deserves more than a
passing notice. 1t is this: Resolved, That
it be, and is hereby highly recommended
that the members of this alliance plant q
good crop of oats, barley, rye and such
crops this fall, and thus demonstrate the fact
that we desire and intend to live at home. y
No politics about that, but a lot of good, hard
sense. The farmer who introduced the
resolution is one who olives at home,n and
who has converted his formerly rock-cov-
cred and sterile land into one of the most
fertile farms in Georgia He knows by ex-
perience that it pays to live at home" A
resolution of the same sort adopted and
carried out by every county alliance in
Georgia would beat politics all hollow.
