ty-eighth district in the next state Senate.
one of the closest senatorial races in the
state is that between Walter #. Woodall
Charlton Battle and Col. Hargett in the
Columbus district.
1t ~ highly probable that James z. selo-
field Of Macon, VIII be a candidate for the

in the legislature in lSS6-Sl.
One Of the liveliest races in the CONSOLE
dated primary in Bib county on June 6,

four have held Office several terms, and
rendered the county faithful and efficient
service. Mr. Nelson was only elected last
year TO FIJI the unexplred term OF John u
McGolick, deceased. Though In office but
q short while, he has manifested much
ability and zeal. There will probably be
five candidates for commissioners besides
the present board, making ten in the race
Sam Altmayer announces that he is a can
didate. He was an alderman several years
Canton Advance: Hon. Elem duBlgnon
has formally announced his candidacy for
United States senator. He is one of the
truest and ablest young men In Georgia,
and his election to the United States Sen
ate would be an honor to Georgia.
Gibson Record: Hon. F. G. duBignon is
getting invitations to speak from every
section Of Georgia The people are anx-
ious to hear him; they are anxious for a
campaign of education and everybody
honors duBignon's honesty and sincerity.
Hon. Frank Harrell, who represented

ed by Hon. Simeon Crimson.

Rome Commercial: Next Saturday 0Afay
p, Hon. Fleming duBgnon will address the
people OF Floyd and adjoining counties,

being the sound money candidate for the
Senate, Mr.. duBignOn Is an orator of rare
eloquence and those who attend VIII not
only a near a speech worth going miles TO

but will be treated to a flow Of language
such as no other man in Georgia can sur
pass. With the exception OF our own John

Temple Graves Mr. duBignon Is probably
the most eloquent speaker in Georgia to-
day
Georgia Cracker: duBignon proposes to
Judge Crisp to Join him in a request to
the county executive committee in Geor-
gia 10 open ballot box at every precinct
in the state for a senatorial primary at
the October election when all the demo-
Gratis will be a the polls What do the men
who are bowling about muzzling the peo-
pie say to this2
The Houston Home Journal throws this
bit of light on the situation in the Third:
There are twenty-one newspapers in the
Third congressional district Of Georgia,
and II Is stated positively that twelve OF
these papers favor the nomination OF Mr.
Lewis, four are in favor or Judge FORT
two are for Mr.. Warren and three entirely
neutral"
Gainesville Cracker: There has been
quite fanfire Of cheap demagoguery in
the rabid silver organs which are advocat-
ing the June snap primaries about .muz-
zlng the people," and defeating the
popular will and lot more uap-doodle
and poppycock off the same bolt. Mr..
duBignon took his pen In hand the other
day and dropped this little suggestion,
fresh, warm and new laid right INTO the
lap of the discussion, so TO speak; II now
stand ready to unite with Mr.. Crisp IN a
joint letter addressed to all the democrats
Of Georgia, expressing our desire that they
shall vote directly at the October election,
at every precinct In the state, upon the
question Of who shall be the senator from
Georgia If the platform of the national
democracy is one which can conscienti-
ously defend as a candidate, ! pledge my
self to abide by that vote. If that plat
form should be one which / cannot con-
scientlously defend as candidate, will
fall into line in the ranks as a voter and
yield obedience to the mandate or the
people thus expressed" Since this contri-
button 10 the gayety of current politics
there has been a silence among the snap
primary boomers that you could cut with
a knife 1t scores two distinct knockouts.
It gives the snappers a great deal more
will of the people" than they want, and
the logic Of 1t is, in the second place, II
the national convention does not declare
for free silver. Mr. Crisp ought to come
down Oh, yes. let's have the viii Of the
beopie expressed after they have heard

A Peculiar sonp Stock.

Notice appears in London Inventor Of a
peculiar product, under the name of soap
stock, prepared in Brindisi, which is large
ly utilized on account of its special prop
critics. 1t is prepared by subjecting the
the residue of olive kernels to chemical
processes under the action of sulphuric
acide after all means of extraction by
pressure have been exhausted. OF this
substance 1t is stated that during the year
1894 the quantity produced amounted to
about LEO tons, the medium market price
for which ranged at some $50 per ton.
The article in question, which is of little
value as a lubricator has a ready sale
among soap manufacturers, and in years
when the oil crop has been favorable con-
siderable quantities have been exported to
this country, Great Britain and northern
Europe. This oil is locally known as "olio
sulfureO," or sulphur oil, from the method
of its extraction. The refuse remaining
after the extraction is used for fuel for
steam boilers by millers as a matter of
economy.
