FADED OUT OF SIGHT.
The Third Party Thoroughly Downe,
IN the Tenth District.


| A gentleman who has recently returned
| from trip through the counties in this
section Of Georgia gave the MORNING
NEWS an account yesterday Of the state OF
affairs politically as be found them in the
| country.
You hear almost nothing now Of the

said. They still have a very bad case Of 1t

! crowd in a section where the third party
was rampant few weeks ago, and never
hear politics mentioned. Start talking
about the third party, and they

the hack. In Burke county, which was
very doubtful a month ago the
negroes voted the democratic ticket
ov the hundreds and will vote
either the democratic or republican ticket
in preference to the third party in Novem-
Der. They have not taken kindly to the
coalition with the third party. In Liberty

II he had no opposition. The third party
has faded away there. A few Of the leaders
have been so angered by the jeers Of their
democratic friends since the tidal wave of
Dot. II, that they vow they will vote the
straight republican ticket before they will
ever vote the democratic ticket again.
up in the Tenth district" tue gentleman
said, Things are different. Tom Watson
has taken the stump through the militia
districts and is advocating his wild CONF
munlstic doctrines without regard to
anything. Every vile of the
demagogue is resorted to TO
array the country against the city.
The people are worked up and trouble is
seriously apprehended on election day.
Some think Watson stronger than his party
and that he will poll a larger vote in No
vember than Peek did in October. Others
claim that the republican coalition is off,
and that the negroes will divide between the
republicans and the democrats where they
vote at all, THIS is the hope
OF the democrats and the end toward which
they are directing their efforts. Watson
has promised the people that il he is elected
that they will have enough money TO pay
Off all their mortgages. He is a god in their
eyes, and their prayers are directed to him
more than to the Almighty"
The condition Of the farmers generally
Ia this section" said the gentleman. chang
ing the subject is much better than has been
supposed. l never saw such a corn crop
before. They have plenty of corn and fod-
der and plenty of hogs in the pen. They
will live whether cotton rises or falls.
w hat cotton they have was raised oheaply
and what they get for it will be nearly all
clear money. The advance in the price of
cotton has elevated the spirits of the
farmers wonderfully, and they feel much
better now than they did a short while
back. Unless the farmers sell their corn
now there will net bs much demand for
western corn in this section this fall With
few more good corn crops and small cot
ton crops. raised at small expense the farm
ers OF South Georgia will be Ia a most desr-
able condition. There is considerable in
qulry as to tobacco and other new crops,
aHd there is an inclination So branch out on
new lines; The couatry has not gone to the
dogs yet"
