IN DESPERATE STRAITS.

Mr.. Seiferts New York Macon Tele-
graph is in desperate straits for little
campaign thunder Here are the head
lines it employed in announcing that the
democrats of Terrell, in exercising a
right and privilege peculiarly their own,
had called a gubernatorial primary for
the 9Th of May:
''No Use for Farmers. Evans Friends
in Terrell Decide to Freeze out the Agri-
cultural Vote.
These headlines, which were prepared
in the office of the Macon Telegraph by
some one who knew nothing of what he
was saying, are anything but the truth.
They are base insinuation, or misrep-
resentation if you please, and were orig
mated for an Interior purpose-to preJu-
dice the farming class, where the facts are
not known, against General Evans.
When these headlines were written the
Telegraph should have been certain of
their correctness. OF the eighteen
members of the executive committee
who called the primary sixteen
of them are farmers, men who live on
their farms and daily stir the soil for the
necessaries of life, which they find a
hard task under the laws advocated by
the Telegraph.
Why the Telegraph should just no"
show so much concern for the farmers
cannot be accounted for unless it wants
to use them against General Evans. AS
is we'll known, the Telegraph is owned
by a resident of New York who
held official position In the south
under republican rule, and since
that paper has been under its present
proprietorship it has advocated, and is
now advocating, every financial measure
that Wall street and John Sherman have
advocated. 1t has opposed, and is now
opposing, every financial measure that is
in the interest of the farmers.
The primary for Terrell county was
called by farmers, it suits the farmers,
and the farmers will make it convenient
to be at the polls on that day and ex-
press their choice for governor. And
when the returns get in the Telegraph
will doubtless wish that the agricultural
vote had been froze out.
Mr.. Seiferts New York Macon Iele-
graph is indeed hard run for campaign
material whenit resorts to such ques
tionable methods as we have just ex-
posed,

THE PRIMARY.
accordingly

THE News believes that the action OF
the county democratic executive COM
mittee in calling primary for May 9TH,
to determine the gubernatorial issue SO
far as Terrell county is concerned, will
meet with the approval of the people.
We believe that the sentiment of the
party can best be ascel tanned by pr-
mary. This plan of choosing between
candidates gives every man an equal
chance to express his choice, and will
give more general satisfaction after the
nomination is made.
There can be no objection to the date
on which the primary Will occur. 1t is
about tie time Terrell county usually
selects her delegates to the conventions,
and it will be just as convenient for the
farmers, who constitute great majority
of the party in the county, to 90 to the
polls in May as it would be in June.
THAT 81 900 fee is causing Candidate
Atkinson 50 much uneasiness that Gov
ernor Northen has been importuned to
come to his relief. The people, however,
understand the matter very well. They
have diagnosed it to their own sa .isfac-
ton, and will deal with it from their own
stan 7point at the proper time. The fact
remains a fact that Colonel Atkinson re
ceived a fee of $1,000 from the state
which the constitution says he could not
do.

ruE VALUE OF HONEY.

Representative Newlands OF this State
made quite a lengthy speech in Congress
on the 9th instant on the State bank tax
bill, published in the Washington Post.
Daring the course OF his remarks he dis
GUESSED the financial conditions In general.
Speaking Of the fallscy Of an overproduc-
tion Of either gold or silver, he said:

depends upon its quantity, but so far as
l am concerned l should prefer to have
that quantity first regulated by nature

in limited quantities. Do you realize how
limited they are l made q calculation

Of the Mint, which showed that all the

tion of the ages, that for which men have
worked and fought through the centu-
ries, could be placed in q building 100
feet long, 100 feet wide, and 30 feet high,
less space than that occupied by this

Of talking about an overproduction Of

WHAT SHOULD me-.

The Salt Lake Tribune has an argu.
ment by q distinguished political como
mist in the East, The burden Of which is
TO show that because Of cheap ocean
freights England has been deluged with
wheat from India, Egypt, Argentine, the
United States and even Australia. A
gentleman in Salt Lake, recently from
England, explains in the same line that
the agricultural interests Of England are
in . frightful condition;sha il is no longer
profitable to raise wheat; that corn can.
not be raised; that the oat crop at best
is only . moderate one, and that those
farmers who a few years ago ceased rails.
ing wheat and started to devote their
land to dsirying and the raising Of beef,
find themselves forestalled, because
American beef OF finest quality is laid
down in Liverpool and sold at prices
which the English farmer cannot compete
with, and the SAINT is true OF butter and
cheese. He says last year all England
was devoted to potsso raising. and the
results Was that potatoes are only twenty
cents . bushel, and Ireland is ready for
mutiny because there was no sale in
England for their main crop. Now, out
Of all this il America is wise il will grasp
q pertinent fact and begin to adjust it's.
elf accordingly. 1t is q clear case that
with the black belt Of Russia utilized for
wheat; with English interests prominent
in India and Argentine, and with English
shipmasters giving special rates to those
countries for transporting their products
to England, il will not be very many
years until the bresdstuffs of the United
States will be shut out Of England and
out Of the markets Of Western Europe.
This being the case, the anxiety Of this
country should be to establish manufac.
lures enough SO that the products Of the
soil would all find a market at home, and
then drive trade into Spsnish.America TO
find a market there for the manufactured
material. To. this end the first thing that
ought to be done would be the calling Of
q conference and an agreement upon .
common coinage for this continent il pos.
sible. Then silver ought at once to be
remonetized, and there should be a law
in this country such as rules in England
for the Government TO guarantee invest
ments in Spanish-Americsn countries,
until we should come in closer rapport
with all those countries; until all Span.
ish.America will have to look to us for a
market for what they have to sell; for a
supply depot for all they want to buy.
We need a closer walk with our southern
friends. 1t is the only way we can keep
the population from choking up; the only
way we can stop the march Of trsmps;
the only way that progress can go on.
That is. TO push on; push the locomotive
into the new lands to the south; push
our ships into the ports of the south;
make closer trade relations and have o
common coinage for the continent.

The scene Of the first genuine snake
story Of the season is laid near the city
Of Augusta. A young man was riding a
bicycle, when he discovered a large moe.
casin stretched across the narrow path.
There was no way to avoid his snakeship,
so the young man, fixing himself firmly
in the saddle and tightening his grip on
the handles OF his machine, determined
10 ride over him ct full speed. When the
rubber tire struck the reptile the latter
did not seem to enjoy being so summa-
rily disturbed and doubled up like 9
streak Of lightning and became entang-
led in tbs spokes Of the wheel. The
snake was longer than the story, and
when entangled in the wheel a consider
able portion OF it's body was Tapping
about with every revolution of the wheel,
and at every flap kept striking the young
man on the shoulder. This was too much
even for q temperance man, and the rider
just dropped off on the other side, and
his snakeship quickly di~sentsngled him
self from the spokes and crawled off into
the bushes by the roadside, seemingly
none the worse for his experience with
tbs wheel.
