POLITICS WARM
UP In LIMESTONE
CANDIDATES DISCUSS QUESTIONS
FOR BENEFIT OF VoTERs-MR.
JOHNSTON AND GOV. JELKS
BOTH HAVE MANY FRIENDS.

CORTLAND. July 22.-(special. 1.-The first
political gun of the coming state canvass
was fired at Moulton today, when about
one thousand of the yeomanry of the
county met for the jury term of the
County Court. The largest crowd was
on hand that has attended this court for
years. The fact that the docket was an
unusually large one accounted for a
large part of the attendance, but quite
a number We're there to discuss politics
and hear the same talked.
/. W. Hin. candidate for superintendent
of edaeation, with his friend Mr.. Jones
of tn tate committee, were on hand, and
Mr.. Hill made an address to the people
which was we'll received and favorably
commented on. His talk was of a plain,
practical character, and he appealed to
the common sense of his hearers. He said
among other things that he was a plain
school teacher, ana not a politician out
of a JOB, for he had job teaching school
whenever he wanted 1t.

the Senate from this district, also spoke,
and each resolved a respectful hearing
from the crowd. The Senatorial race is
largely problimatical, and no one can now
tell who will be the winner.

nor Jelks have each strong friends in
the county. Each ,llave their enemys as
well, and the coming race will be largely
enc of per sonal preference. The J Johnston
men claim that their man Is the friend
of the people, while jerks belongs to the
machine, while the jerks men refer to
Johnston as the arch-dema gogue.

ALABAMA GINNERS
MEET AT CAPITAL
Welcomed to City of Mont
gomery by Mayor Joseph
COL. HAWKINS PRESIDENT
Main Purpose of the Meeting Is to
Prevent Excessive Wrapping.
Matter Was Finally Referred
to Executive Committee.

Montgomery. July 22.-(SpeciaD-Th
Alabama Ginners' Association met this
morning in the hall of the House at the
Capitol and completed permanent or
ganization. Mayor Joseph welcomed the
visitors who numbered some seventy-hve
of the leading ginners of the State, with
a few representatives of the warehouses
and congresses present. Col Hiram
Hawkins responded to the address OF
welcome. c. G. Hanson of Atlanta, sec
rotary and treasurer of the Southeastern
Compress Association was the leading
spirit in the meeting and was really the
guiding hand in the organization.
Col. Hiram Hawkins of Barbour was
elected president; DR.. II. NJ Stone Of
Montgomery vice-president and Mr.. Han
son of Atlanta secretary and treasurer.
These three officers are ex-officio men,
bers of the executive committee, which
was completed by adding Dr. Tennille
of Montgomery, Mr.. Ellis of Union
Springs and Mr.. Sellers of Sellers in
Montgomery County,.
Mr.. Hanson called attention by request
to a circular poster which has been sent
out 10 the BlnnefS, nOllIylnS them l0dL
where a bale of cotton has over six yards
of bagging and six ties. a penalty of so
cents will be charged against it. This
brought on quite a discussion, in which
the opinion prevailed that the limit was
too strict, as it took more than six yards
to wrap a bale completely, sides and all.
Mr.. Stallings of Butler made the point
that where cotton is shipped by a river
steamer the marine laws levy a penalty
of five dollars bale unless 1t is complete
ly covered.
Mr.. J. B. Terrell, cotton buyer pres
ent whose name was to the poster, ex-
planned that the only purpose was to pre-
vent excessive wrapping, as 1t was taken
off in tare and the buyer must protect
himself somewhere. The matter was fin
ally disposed of by referring 1t to the
executive committee to adjust with the
cotton buyers associe ton.
The association fixed on one dollar and
fifty cents as the price for ginning a
bale of cotton, though this Is not an
iron clad rule. Where competition forces
a lower price it can be taken, but the
sentiment was unanimous that it is worth
the above amount.
The annual dues were fixed at % cents
per gin, and one-fourth per cent per bale
ginned last season was levied for ex-
penses already incurred.
One hundred and five concerns are al
ready represented in the association.
There are some $500 ginners in the state
and an active effort will be made to ex
terd the membership.

WILL LEAVE AUGUSTA.
Col. and Mrs. Elias MiIIiken to Live in
Brooklire, Hass.

1t is with sincere regret that the
Journal announces, this morning, that
Col. and Mrs. Elias Milliken are to
leave their delightful home on Western
avenue in this city, and take up their
residence in Brookline, Mass. This
change on their part has been for some
time in contemplation and it may now
be stated that they will leave the city
some time next week. Their residence
here will probably be sold, and they
will not again return to Augusta to live
For nearly 80 years Col. Milliken has
been citizen of Augusta, having
moved here from Burnham in 1870.
Prior to that time he had resided in
Burnham for 80 years. He was born in
Scarboro, but moved to Gardiner with
his parents when a boy. When he was
10 years of age he located in Burnham
In 1856 ne represented the town in the
Maine Legislature. After the war broke
out he was made the lieutenant colonel
of the 1lth Maine Volunteer Regiment
In 1864 and 1865 he was a senator from
Waldo county and in 1867 he was again
q member of the House of Representa-
tives from the Burnham class. He was
Council in 1868 and 1869, representing
Waldo county.
During his long and busy life Col
Miliken has been largely engaged in
numbering operations. He not only en-
gagged in the manufacture of long and
short lumber but he owned thousands of
acres of timber land, the greater part
of which being located in the Kennebec
district. He was first and foremost a
Kennebec man. All mis- active business
life has been spent in this section and
he has done much to perfect the great
log driving systems of the Kennebec
waters.
In business and banking circles Col.
Miliken has for many years been a
leading and influential factor, and his
retirement is regretted by his former
associates. That he may live long in
