Happenings in Georgia. Ansel to Prove a Worthy Successor to South Carolina's Present GovernorGeorgia's Colleges and Schools Pilled with Students?Bryan's Visit to Atlanta -Macon as a Model City. Mr. Editor : Judging from the many words of praise the newly elected governor o! the Palmetto State is receiving from the press, Mr. Ansel will probably give an administration that will be as clean and as tar nuuve reproacn as that oi the ^ retiring governor, Mr. lievward, pr whose efficient and able services to the state have been the sub ject of go much praise and so little condemnation. This week 'mirks the fall opening of the schools and col leges over (he country, a very important event. In this city. Wesley an, the old and renowned institution of learning, the old est female college in the world, is filled to her utmost capacity, having matriculated more students than ever before in her his tory. Mercer, a famous school for boys only, also opens with a fine attendance and fine prospects for a successful year. In the public schools of the city, nearly ^even thousand children have been enrolled. The manifest increase of interest in the cause of education, from year to yea.*, all over the country is certainly k something'wonderful. The Hon. W. .J. Bryan declin ed the invitation to come to Macon, on account ot other pressing engagements, but stopped a day in the city of Atlanta. .Seven thousand and five hundred enthusiastic supporters of Bryan listened at his eloquent speech in outlining the policies of the Democratic party and whntjthe platform of the next national convention should be, according to his way of thinking. While the South is already so Democratic as to scarcely need a visit from the nrosnpeti\ra _ __ j,,. - J/.V 4 . V W ? V* 4 of the party, Mr. Bryan's trip through this part oi tlie country will probably beot mutual benefit anil will make his admirers cling "all the more closer"' to him and the party. Our city still maintains her enviable record as the second most healthful town in the United States. Los Angeles, V Oal., comes first on the list of healthful cities and Macon second, and it is a good deal of comlort to know that while our city is not one where people never die, the death rate is coma paritively small. If you want to .see a beautilnl nen nietnre!

We tail to see how any real benefit can come to the! ^ public from seeing such a play a presented, as it only serves to I prejudice the people more I against the negro. and there is I nothing more than the trilling, 1 mean,sneaking acts of 1 lie negroes of the present day necessary to ' onvincethe people that they i are a men ice t< tiie commonwealth.

Growth oftheNational Farm- ' ers' Union. $ We have had a number of in quiries from North Carolinians lately as to the purposes and policies of the Farmer*" Union; and at the recent Sou'h Carolina Farmers' Institute we sought to get fuller information regarding the Union from Mr. R. F. Duck worth, tlie then National President, who was a prominent sneak0!' at ' ? ? , ... HI <U1 III terview with the writer, Mr. Duckworth asserted tha' his organization now has 600,000 members, 200,000 of these being in lexas where the society criminated. Dr. Carey, of Alabama, had just told us that it is much better organized in that State than the Southern Cotton Association, covering all sections very thoroughly; while besides Texas and Alabama, the Union is now represented in Arkansas, Oalahoma, Indian Territory, Mississippi, Tennessee. Georgia, and South Carolina. The strength ot the order in South Carolina is now estimated at 10,000. The nlans. mimeses. mid "an?,J - ? ? I machinery ot Ihe Farmers' Union are strikingly similar to those of Ihe Farmers' Alliance, as Mr. Duckworth admitted to us. w We simply hope," he said, $ "to avoid the politic d and other mistakes which the Alliance made." In North Carolina we believe that the Union is now organized only in Cleveland County, and it does not appear to have reached Virginia, but with its present rate ot growth, it may he expected to invade both of these States at an early date.?Progressive Farmer.
