nace in the Ninth.
ATLANTA, GA, Aug l2.-Hon. Carter
Tate will not only have the nominee Of the
third party to contend with in his con-
gressional campaign in the Ninth district,
but unless something not now on the pro-
gramme happens he will have to meet a re-
publican candidate also. To-day there was
a lengthy conference between leading re-
publican bosses from the Ninth district in
the office of United States District Attor-
ney Darnell in this city on the advisability
of placing candidate in the race against
Tate and Pickett or Vim, whichever one
of these two latter is declared
the regular candidate by the cam
paign committee of the third party =,
which now has that question under con-
sideration. according to the compromise
brought about by Congressman Watson.
Those discussed for the nomination were G.
w. johnson of Towns, J. B. CASTOR of Hall,
J. C. Britain Of Lumpkiu, and W. 7. Day
of Pickens. The selection Of a candidate, it
is thought, lies between Judge johnson Of
Towns and Judge CASTOR Of Hall. The con-
vention meets early in September. Judge
johnson is United States commissioner at
Hiawassee and Judge CASTOR is United
States commissioner at Gainesville.

Monday. He rode over the city in COM

great many OF the factories and other en-

very much pleased with the solidity OF the
place. He inspected large number OF the
farms ia this section aud gave the opinion
that no better lands can be found anywhere
than those around Cordele.
The business men OF Cordele are kicking
about the discrimination in freight rates
shown Cordele by the different roads run

this city should not enjoy as cheap through

The merchants and other business men are

Congressman Watson appears to have

says: Abundant rains continue TO fall
over the Southwestern Texas district and
suffering among the stock has been

drought stricken district planted corn in

Mexico enhance the prospect Of

the importation Of American corn will soon
be discontinued Some fear that with the

be overstocked. This will leave Texas
practically without a market for its enor-
nous corn crops, and the cattlemen are
preparing TO feed large quantities of beef
cattle with 20 and 25-cent corn. Never in

ATLANTA, GA, Aug. 12-The state Of
Georgia is seeking to preserve the testimony
Of Col. L. P. Grant and Jonathan Norcross
for the purpose of INTRODUCING the same in
evidence thirty years hence. Ii seems that
there has been a dispute for some time
in regard to the right of way of the West
ern and Atlantic railroad now leased by
the state to the Nash vile, Chattanooga and
St Louis railroad. 1t Is also claimed by
the Central and East Tennessee railroad.
Col. L. P. Grant and Mr.. Norcross are old
citizens Of Atlanta. and moved to the place
when ID went by the name
of Marthssville. They remember the right
of way as it was Hrst granted and the num-
Der of feet that was specified in the grant.
The dispute between the railroads cannot
be settled until the expiration of the pres
ent lease, thirty years hence, and the testi-
mony is being taken now, while the wit
nesses are still alive for the purpose OF pre-
serving it until that time.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12-Not only does
Pension Commissioner Raum not propose to
resign, but he proposes to go on the stump
for Harrison and Reid. He has always
spoken more or less in former campaigns
and would feel that he was sighted if he did
not have chance to speak in this one. In
deed he feels that his "vindication," gained
by the filibustering Of the republicans in
tue House against the adoption of the
report asking his removal, would not
be complete if he could not take
the stump to tell his old comrades what
the present administration has done for
them. He is TO be prominently in evidence
curing the @. A. r. encampmens next
month and will then start out on his speak
ing tour. In making request for assign
ment 20 the republican national committee
be will probably ask not to be sent to New
England, where he thinks there is an I'M
reasonable prejudice against him, even
