Corn planting and guano hauling have
been the order of the day during the past
week. Previous to this time but little
guanO was sold, and the general opin on
was that little would be sold, but iudg-
| ing from the sales of the past few days
| quite quantity viii be used throughout
this section. Every farmer saws he is 20
| ing to reduce the acreage, but expects TO
make just as much cotton. If that plan
| be universal throughout the cotton belt.
| with favorable seasons, we may expect
another large crop of to cent cotton.
| They claim cotton the only ready money
crop they can plant and depend on,
consequently no other redress (that is.
| universal redress) They say if every
| body should turn their attention to sup
| plies and stock raising there would be no
demand for the overplus, and if the tobac-
co enterprise which is being introduced
throughout the state proves a success it
will depreciate so much in value that
the lnducement would not be such as
is needed to take the place of cotton. So
| It's hard to tell just now whether the acre
age in cotton Will be reduced or not. 1t
seems that the plan of introducing some
thing in cottons stead for ready money
is an unsettled one, and they will try
cotton until some such plan is formu-
lated. Now, that the Third PARTY has
been born, probably it will suggest some
plan for unve' sal benefit. and its
movements will be watched with great
interest

JUDGE GUERRY IN THE RACE,

And Has Gone Actively to Work. What He
Says.
81 am in the race for Congress in the
second congressional district, and am in
to win,' was the reply of Judge Query
to all who questioned him on the subject
when the action of the Cuthbert conven-
ton became known.
"Two years ago." he says, ''the con-
vention of Alliancemen at Albany en-
dorsed me for congress, and asked me to
enter the race against Mr.. Tuner, but
for several reasons did not make an ac-
tive canvass. stand today upon the
platform which then sanctioned, and I
have nocause to believe that have depre-
ciated in the good opinion of the alliance
men. On the contrary, still believe that
they, or large number of them, are my
friends, and expect to poll many ALI
ance votes.''
Continuing, Judge Query said "For
causes unknown to me my name
was not put before the convention,
and | find as my opponent man
who had more than once solicited
me to enter the race, man who had adj.
vised with me about the course he should
pursue at the conven ton, and who pro-
fessed to be my staunchest supporter.
Yes, am in the race to stay."
Judge Query has gone actively to
work, and will add no little to the inter
est in the campaign.
he is one of the best known public
men in the district, his ability is conced-
ed, and he is universally popular
He has received letters and kilograms
from all parts of the district assuring
him of a hearty support.
WHAT MIR. STEVENS SAYS.
SIN regard to being under obligations
to any one," said Mr.. Stevens, when ask
ed about the matter, Il can honestly
say that l discharged them fully. 1t is
true that Judge Guerry's name was not
presented to the convention. At con-
sultatiOn of his friends it was decided
that it would be detrimental to his pros
poets to enter the contest, and to introduce
his name would be Simply to sacrifice
him l did every honorable thing pos
sible to keep the convention from nomi-
mating me, and | have betrayed no trust
in accepting an unsought honor. After
The convention had ballottod two hours
and half without reaching nomina

and select suitable man and report
back to the convention. After the com
miftee had been out awhile was sent
for and notified that they had agreed up

Let Us Have Harmony.

EDITOR NEWS: Many citizens have
looked forward with pleasant anticipa-
tions to the probability Of Terrell fur
nishing the successor of Henry G. Turn
CT in congress. The fact that there are
two candidates from the county make
success by either difficult of attainment,
and hazards the danger of engendering
unpleasant personal feelings.
Mutual rends of both candidates have
discussed the situation, and as result
have reached this conclusion; let both
asl irants enter an agreement to abide
the action of Terrell county, let pri-
mary be called in thirty days, allowing
only democrats to vote, and accept as
the standard bearer the man who re-
cei YES the highest number of votes.
THIS will, it is believed, insure the vic
tor the nomination. A failure to act up
on this suggestion means irretreveable
defeat to both. VOTER.

An Address to Voters.
The alliance convention which met at

boiling at a furious rate, and decidedly
lively times are ahead.

day was for the purpose of putting for
ward an alliancecandidate for Congress.
Every county in the district was repre-
sented except Berrien.

AN ADDRESS To VOTERS.
Before adjourning the convention for
mulated and issued the following address
to the voters of the district:
ToTHE PEOPLE OF THE SECOND Con
OCCASIONAL DISTRICT: We, the dele
gates to convention assembled by au-
thoEity of the District Alliance, for the
purpose Of selecting and recommending
suitable person as a candidate for
Congressman for said district, in the
53rd. Congress, have seen proper to pre-
sent the name of Hon O. b. Stevens, of
Terrell county, as a man fully qualified
Tor the position. We ask your co-opera-
tion in securing his nomination. by the
Democratic convention.
Believing that the agricultural inter-
est has been almost totally ignored in
our national halls of congress, we have
decided ts take this step, and, in doing
so, desire to say that we are not acting
in dictatorial spirit, but wishing to
promote the best interest of the masses.
We recommend that the wishes of the
yeters be expressed by primary elections.
