LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE.

In another column appears no.
tice fro n Chairman Hardage of the
Democratic Executive Committee
calling meeting of the Executive
committee to take into considera-
ton the propriety OF holding a pr
mary election for county Offices"
As the Democratic Committee has
passed on this question, and ere
solved that there be no nomination
ter county Offices this year," we do
not see the propriety of the Execu-
tive Co nmittee, at this late date,
reversing their former decision. By
passing the resolution that there
would be no nomination, it induced
number of gentlemen to enter the
race for the several county Offices.
They have spent their money for
announcements ana canvassed the
county, and it is not right now for
the Executive Committee to preju-
dice their candidacy by q ncmina-
ton. There are only democrats in
the field, and there is no danger of
anybody but democrats being elect
ed. We hope the Executive Com
mittee will not rescind their former
resolution, but leave the field open
to those democrats who can poll the
most votes. If a primary is ordered
there will be democrats who will
not participate in it, owing to the
fact that they have pledged their
votes to candidates, who will proba-
bly, not submit their candidacy to a
primary. Do not make another
middle.

Do NOT ACCUSE BUT CANNOT IN
DORSE.

The committee appointed by the
National Alliance convention, which
were in session at Ocala, Florida,
last week, to investigate the charges
against Polk, Macune and Living
ston in connection with the Georgia
Senatorial campaign has submitted
its report.
1t is couched in mild language,
but carries al important lesson with
it. In substance it says that no of
ficer of the order has a right either
to seek or lead it away from its pri-
mary principles and objects, or to
use his official position to further
the interests of any candidate.
Here is the report:
l. That we have been unable to
ascertain single fact duplicating in
in any way, shape or form, the high
character and standing and person
al and official reputation of our
worthy president, L. L. Polk; but
We regret the writing OF the Nor
wood letter.
2. AS to brother Livingston, pres
ident Of the Georgia State Alliance,
we do not find anything derogatory
OF his personal Or official high stand
ing, but your committee is not quite
prepared TO indorse his course in
the Georgia senatorial contest.
3. That in the case OF DIR. G. w.
Macune, nothing has been found to
lesson our confidence in his person
al integrity and loyalty to the order;
however we regret his official con-
nection with the Georgia Senatorial
contest.
The report is signed by Chairman
MacDowell, Thomas Hind, of Flori-
ola, and twenty three others. The
report does not give entire satisfac-
ton, although adopted without de-
bate.

TOO PREVIOUS,

Senator Vincent has introduced a
bill to abolish the agricultural de-
partment after the expiration OF the
present term of Commissioner Nes>
bitt. Isn't Senator Vincent too
previous? Why base such action
on the inefficient management of
the past? There is new man at
the helm now. Why not wait and
see the results that will flow from
his management? From the reforms
he has already inaugurated, the de-
partment promises to be of some
practical benefit to the State and to
the farmers. The Agricultural De-
partment pays its own way from the
inspection of fertilizers, and in this
respect is self-sustaining. Give
Commissioner Nesbitt a chance to
show what can be done. 10 abolish
it now, would destroy all incentive
for him to inaugurate measures that
would be nipped in the bud by the
wiLing out of the Office two years
hence. 1t is unfair to Col. Nesbitt
and its unfair to the people who
voted for change. Let the bill be
indefinitely postponed. The next
Legislature will have better oppor-
tunities of knowing the value of the
Agricultural Department than the
present enc.

The Healthiest Place in the South

The Healthiest Place in the South
There is no question but what
Marietta has the finest and health
est climate in the South. The at
mosphere is dry and invigoratiDg,
free from malaria and everything
that tends to debilitate. The water
is the purest and clearest. Those
who have tried other climates with
out experiencing any benefit, have
come to Marietta and in ashort while
found themselves taking on flesh,
growing stronger and healthier.
Nature has made no mistake, but
has impaired to this Piedmont
range advantages but few sections
of country enjoy. There are North
ern people who came here physical
wrecks, who have been restored to
health and are now actively engaged
in business. 1t they had not come
to Marietta they would have in all
probability been in their graves.
This is no idle talk, but are facts
that can be substantiated. This is
natures great sanitarium, and the
people who flock here winter and
summer have found it out. The
town is the prettiest in the State,
nesting as it does at the foot of his
toric Kennesaw Mountain, 90 miles
from Atlanta on the w, & Atlantic
Railroad that connects with Chatta-
nooga, and the terminus of the Ma
rietta & North GA. Railroad that
runs to Knoxville, a section of
mountainous country that for grand
scenery cannot be surpassed in the
world. Besides Marietta has good
hotel and boarding house accommo-
! dations, refined society, good church
es and excellent schools. The many
beautiful residences and flower gar
dens attest the good taste of our
citizens. Come to Marietta, the
Seem City" of Georgia and you
J will be delighted

Senator Cullom doesn't need to
be kicked but once to understand
that something is wrong. He isn't
slow to see the inevitable staring
him in the face. Hence he admits
that the Mckinley tariff is a huge
mistake and expresses the opinion
that it should be modified. Such a
tariff may produce wealth, as it
advocates claim for it, but if it does
1t manages to so corner the accre-
ton that the people can'tget at it.
What they want is variety OF
wealth that they can all get share
of.

and for obvious reasons was disgusting

help of some wandering bushmen, who
took their pay in elephant meat, do not

At last it was done. The ivory was
far too cumbersome for Us to carry, SO
we buried it, having first got rid Of our
