Onida does not believe in the woman’s
rights movement. In the North Ameri
can Review she disparages her sex to an
extent that is bringing forth many re
monstrances. Here are a few sentences
quoted from the article which show the
drift: “Woman in public life would
exaggerate the failings of men, and
would not have even their few excel
lences.” “Then (woman’s) legislation
would be the offspring of panic or preju
dice. ” She gays woman would not ‘ ‘put
on the drag of common sense, as man
frequently does in public assemblies.”
And this about woman: “When she is
frightened she is more ferocious than
man, and when she has power more
merciless.” Some men may believe as
Ouida, but they dare not say it.
The Cincinnati Times-Star makes this
worthy, fair and] sensible statement in
regard te the Ohio lynching: “We are
not in the business of justifying lynch
ing—-far from it. This mode of retribu
tion is so sudden that frightful mistakes
are sometimes made. By it the innocent
sometimes suffer. The law should be
allowed to take its course. But we are
in the business of insisting that the
crime of lynching is not peculiar to the
South alone, that the North is guilty, as
witness yesterday’s scene, and that the
reason why lynchings are not as com,
mon in the North as in the Scuth is be
cause, the provocation for the same is
Dot as frequent,”
The people of Chattooga county are
so well pleased with the creamery at
Summerville that they are about to
build another at the little village of
Alpine, In this connection the Chat
tooga News says: “Surely the farmers
• are convinced by this time that their
financial salvation cannot be accom
plished by raising 7 cent cotton. Besides
the dairy business will gradually build
up the worn lands, while cotton, cotton,
cotton, makes them poorer each year.
Give the new business a fair and faith
ful trial, and see if it won’t pay better.”
This county ring, which is running
expenses up so high and grinding the
people to powder with taxes, has the
effrontery to dictate to the people in the
Ynatter of choice for governor. Just
such rings are working for Atkinson all
over the state. It is the people against
she rings. Let us have primaries; give
the people a chance and they will smash
the rings.
Cheering reports come from all parts
of the county and all that remains to
be done is for the people to go to the
polls and Vote. Let every friend of re
form and low taxes go to the polls on
the 26th and vote against the ring.
Smash the ring!
The Floyd county third partyites will
meet in Rome today. Col. Miller Wright,
of Cedartown, will shell the woods with
a set speech, and many other pyrotech
nic displays will take place. They are
great on fire works.
If the senate will pass the tariff, bill
the tax on state banks and
adjourn it will be only a few weeks
before the people forget there are or
Were any differences among democrats.
It is said that the third party will put
out legislative candidates in this county.*
It shows great nerve to even intimate
such a thing. Floyd is democratic to
the core.
“The Rustler,” of the Cedartown
Standard, continues his streak of humor.
It’s an all round bright paper, and dem
ocratic from title to foot of Bth col. 4th

The gold excitement is greater in
Georgia than since before the war.
Many Eastern capitalists have been
prospecting in Paulding county recently.
The memorial day services arranged
for next Tuesday are pleasing and ap
propriate, and the day bids fair to attract
an even larger crowd than usual.
f Sales ladies and wash ladies are rather
o'd terms to two “lady preachers” who
ave reported to have attended a North
Georgia Holiness meeting.
Mr. Atkinson is supported by the ring
which has made taxes too grievous to be
borne. Vote against the ring and all its
candidates. Smash the ring!
Clinch, Cherokee, Telfair, Lincoln and
Bartow counties act today. Atkinson
claims all except Bartow.
The Future es the South.
The] New York Sun gives editorial
prominence to this striking summary of
Senator Walsh’s recent article:
“Senator Patrick Walsh, of Georgia,
gathers a large body of impressive sta
tistics to show the development of the
southern states since the close of the
civil war, and to indicate the far greater
progress which will result in the future
from the further utilization of their nat
ural resources.
‘ ‘The South is now producing as much
coal, iron ore, and pig iron as the entire
Union produced in 1870, yet the develop
ment of its mineral riches has only be
gun. Mr. Edward Atkinon has declared
that an observer “standing on the top of
the highest peak of the great Smoky
mountains, would find in a radius of
8 venty-five m les thejfuture iio iproduc
ing region of the United States.” West
Virginia alone has 10,000 square miles of
coal ,or 4,000 more than all of Great
Brittan’s . Os the total forest area of
the United States, or 417,000,000 acres,
the Southern States have more than
one-half, or 311,000,000. More than 41
per cent, of the land of the south is
wooded, and in the variety of its timber
it is unequalled. It offers practially
limitless opportunities for horticulture
and floriculture, with decided ad
vantages over the North so far as climate
is concerned. Its incomparable richness
as a field for cotton raising enables it to
produce annually a crop of the enormous
value of $300,000,000, besides $3,000,000
W jrth of oil, cake, and hulls from the
seed. The value of its other agricultural
crops aggregate more than one billion
dollars annually. Even the low price of
cotton had been its in
driving the farmers into a more diversfied
agriculture, which has enabled them to
withstand the recent hard times. “If
this'enforced economic policy c n inue
save Senator Walsh, optimistically,
“the southern farmers will become the
most independent and progressive peo
ple in the world.”
“The manufacturing development of
the South since 1870 has been no less
remarkable. The cost of making iron
there with the ore, coal, and limestone
found close together, he estimates as
more than one-third less than in the
North. He predicts the speedy coming
of the time when, with sufficient capital
and greatly increased population, the
South “will lead the world” in cotton
manufacturing. It already leads in the
coarser fabrics. In 1860 the South man
ufactured only 10,500 bales of cotton; in
1893 the amount was 744,000. The cap
ital in cotton mills was only $22,000,000
in 1880; in 1894 it is estimated at $97,-
000,000, Meantime the value of the
product has increased from $21,000,000
to about $50,000,000. Moreover the bus
ness depression which caused (the shut
ting down of so many New England
mills during the past year had no such
injurious consequence in the South.
With the exception of a few yarn mills
dependent on the New England demand,
“all the large mills in the South on
cotton goods,” says Senator Walsh,
“were running on full time during the
dullest year in the history of the coun
try.”
The South, with such unparalleled
advantages and opportunities so extraor
dinary, is described by the Georgia Sen
ator as “ the garden spot of the world”
and the “richest in developed resources
of all sections of the United States;”
aid he expects that when people gener
ally wake up to the understanding of
this truth the current of capital and pop
ulation will flow thither in a mighty
stream. Nature has provided the
wealth, and all that is needed is money
and labor to make use of it If a popu
lation as great as the whole Union now
contains were added to the Southern
state;;, {here be'nlenty of room for
ail. The area of the r §tate of Georgia
alone is’almost as great as the whole
area of the New England States, and
comparatively a small part of it is really
developed signal as has been the pros*
perity of that fortunate state during re
cent years. Ariable land, convenient to
waterways and railroads, capable of pro
ducing cotton, corn, wheat, oats, hay,
vegetables, and fruits, is now purchas
able in Georgia at from $5 to $lO an acre,
Senator Walsh tells us.
This picture of the South is’colored by
the enthusiasm of the Senator for the re
gion from which he comes, but it cannot
be dismissed as exaggeratea. The de
velopmnet of the Southern States is only
beginning.—New York Sun.
Those who want reform in county ad
ministration should vote against the
rings.

THE ROME TRIBUNE, SATURDAY MAY 1 2 "1894
SURROUNDED BY MYSTERY!
A Great Mistake.
A recent discovery is that headachy
dizziness, dullness, confusion of the mind,
etc., are due to derangement of the nerve
centers which supply the brain with nerve
force; that Indigestion, dyspepsia, neuralgia,
wind in stomach, etc., arise from the derange
ment of the nerve centers supplying these or
gans with nerve fluid or force. This is likewise
true of many diseases of the heart and lungs.
The nerve system Islike a telegraph system,

Franklin Miles, KM WK
M. D., LL.B., the MF W
highly celebrated
specialist and -mOBB flEk
student of nervous diseases, and author
of many noted treatises on the latter subject,
long since realized the truth of the first
statement, and his Restorative Nervine
is prepared on that principle. Its success
In curing all diseases arising from derange
ment of the nervous system is wonder

nials in possession of the company manufac
turing the remedy amply prove.

headache, nervous debility, prostration,
sleeplessness, dizziness hysteria, sexual de

Gen. Evans’ Record.
In the Macon Telegraph’s issue of the
6th inst., an article headed “Two Men’s
Records” appeared, iu which was the
following: “Gen. Evans’ record, First;
voted to allow the banks to suspend
specie payment when there was no
panic.” In justice to Gen. Evans’, I
wish to bear witness as one who lived
and participated in the events of those
days, that in the year 1857 there was the
greatest financial panic that this country
has ever experienced in my day. I can
not now recall a single bank, from New
York to San Francisco, that was not
driven to the suspension of specie pay
ment. At that time the State of Geor
gia made it a penal offense against the
President and other officials of a bank to
suspend specie payment. The legisla
ture of that year, for the purpose of re
lieving the officers of the banks from the
severe penalties imposed for the sus
pension of specie payment, passed a bill
for their relief. In that bill there was
also a provision that stayed the collec
tion ot all debts by suit in court or the
process by court proceeding. This was
necessary because of the fact that the
credit system in those days was almost
universal, and from the fact that the
people, rich and poor, were all more or
less in debt; and because of the fact of
the sudden panic which paralyzed the
business of the country and suspended
the banks, it was almost impossible for
the people to meet their obligations, and
forced collections would have resulted
in bankruptcy and general ruin.
No bill was ever passed by the legis
lature in my day which gave greater re
lief to the masses of the people and was
more universally approved by all classes.
This humane - U(H f ol - the re
lief and benefit of the debtor classes was
continued from legislature to legislature
and received the approval of every leg
islature from 1857 to 1865, or the entire
period of the war. A more humane and
just law was never passed by any leg
islature. Voter.
Athens, Ga. May Bth, 1894.
Mr. W. L. GlesSUer, of Macon, Ga.,
writes to the magazine Southern States,
of Baltimore, Md - , as follows:
"As there are many people in the
North who have the impression that the
Southern states are devoted entirely to
cotton, rice and sugar cane, the follow
ing figures taken from a bulletin issued
by the United States Department of
Agriculture, March 12, 1894 may inter
est them:
“In 1893 Georgia raised 33,678,000
bushels of corn, more than the States of
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont-
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecti
cut, New York, New Jersey and Dela
ware combined, their product being
32,787,000 bushels. Georgia raises more
corn than either of the States of Penn
sylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota. Yet Georgia does not claim
to be a corn-growing State—that is, it
does not grow corn for shipment, only
four per cent, being shipped out of the
county where it is grown.
“A few years ago the American Agri
culturist offered two large prizes to the
farmers growing the largest amount of
corn on an acre of ground. A Georgia
farmer captured the second prize, his
yield being 125% bushels. I call atten
tion to these facts for the purpose of
showing the Northern farmer that he
need not entirely change his system of
farming in removing South. In addi
tion to corn, there are also raised wheat,
oats, rye and barley. It shouldfbe borne
in mind that the Southern States all lie
within the temperate, not the tropical
zone.”
