II appreciate the kindness OF my friends
In mentioning my name for the legislature y
said Col. Henry R. Goetchius to the Column
bus Herald, but l wish the Herald to state
that will not be a candidate under any
circumstances. am willing at all times to
do what can for the Democratic party,
but don't want any office. / prefer to
give my attention to my law practice, and,
besides, there are many good men who are,
perhaps, willing to serve old Muscogee in
the legislature, and l can easily be spared. n
A special from Franklin to the Atlanta
Journal says: THE politics of the county
are assuming a business like form. The
third party crenks are blue, while the demo-
Gratis are jubilant over the general outlook.
The third party will not poll over fifty
votes in this county. Our delegates to the
May convention at Atlanta are unrestricted
but if they fail to vote for Cleveland they
will not act in accordance with the wishes
of the people whom they represent. We
trust that this will set the Hilstltution
right, and they will stop claiming this as a
Hill county. The people generally who do
not favor Cleveland prefer western man.
The Albany Herald signs for informa-
ton. The Herald says: There is some-
thing about the race betW cen Judge Query
and Mr.. Stevens over in Terrell county
that the Herald doesn't understand. Judge
Query is certainly the ADLER nance of the
two and is popular with the people " his
county as elsewhere Were he is well known
Yet Mr.. Stevens ran oyer 3OU votes ahead
of him in the'primary election. and we are
told that this majority exceeds the total
number of alliancemeu in Terrell county
We do not know that this latter statement
is true but it has been made in more than
one paper in the district by Mr.. Stevens
friends, and has not been denied. II ma
jority OF the democratic votes of Terrell
county were alliancemen we would readily
understand the whole business; but if it is
true, as has been claimed, that such is not
the case, Candidate Stevens must have a
mighty sweet song Of some sort that he
whispers to 1.-THE boys"
A LATELY invented device brought forward by
a western engineer proposes to utilize the waste
steam from locomotives during their frequent
stops at way stations, made necessary for TAX
ing in fuel water, and for other purposes the
steam saved by this method TO be applied to the
pumping OF water for filing the tanks or reser-
voirs about the station. In a large number of
cases, as is well known, large stations have TO
be supplied with an engine and steam pump,
using iuel for making steam Under these Cir
cuInstances it is claimed that the first cost of
the proposed plan will be less than that required
for the ordinary steam pumping arrangements
now in vogue. and as the latter also involves an
attendant, more than the entire cost of steam
is gained BY the use Of the new method,
