Fill your coal bins.

Don’t forget that meeting at the
city hall tonight. ♦
The Populists grow beautifully
less in numbei severy day.
Rome’s prosperity is attracting
attention all over the country.
One week from tomorrow all the
Democratic nominees will be elected.
Now that smokeless gunpowder
is a success the scientists should
turn their attention to odorless
whisky.
With Pollard on the stage and
Breckenridge on the lecture plat
form, the price of eggs will probably
increase.
The Times boasts that Chatta
nooga had only one saloon open last
Sunday. Truly, a moral wave has
struck the country.
A Georgia editor has sent his
pass back to the railroad. He has
been fighting the pass system and
wants to be consistent.
Speaker Crisp will arrive in Rome
Friday, and should be given a royal
reception. Five thousand people
should hear him speak Saturday.
The Macon Telegraph devotes
most of its editorial space to Major
Bacon, whose candidacy for the
senate the paper warmly endorses.
The Herald is a good name for a
newspaper. The Augusta Herald,
the Albany Herald and the Way
cross Herald are three of Georgia’s
brightest dailies.
The University of Georgia will
have a Yale man to train the foot
ball team this season. Interest in
athletics when under control as at
Athens, never yet did anything but
good for a college.
Baltimore citizens are raising a
purse of SIO,OOO to present their
baseball team if the pennant is won.
There is no doubt about Baltimore
winning, and all the enthusiasts in
Rome are glad of it. After the
close of the season Baltimore and
New York will play a series of
games for the Temple cup.
The dreams of antiquity and Al
brilton put together never devised
such schemes for wealth as proposed
by the Populists in congress. And
; strange, all the money to be appro
e / priated by their bills is to go into
. Northern and Western States. The
poor little Pops down South will
have rocks dropped in when -they
open lheirmouths —Valdosta Times.
ALL SHOULD HELP.
Next Saturday Speaker Crisp,
Congressman Maddox, Steve Clay
and R. L. Berner will make Dem
ocratic addresses in this city. With
such distinguished men to give the
Democratic side of political ques
tions a large crowd should be here
to hear them. One thousand people
would be a poor showing for Floyd’s
Democracy or appreciation. Three
thousands heard Mr. Crisp and Mr.
Maddox in Marietta. Rome should
make it five thousand.
Mr. Crisp will arrive in the city
Friday. As will be seen elsewhere
a call has been made for a meeting
of the citizens tonight to arrange
for a reception for the distinguished
visitor. This meeting should be
largely attended—not only for De
mocracy but for the reputation of
Rome.
Mr. Crisp is the most conspicuous
man in the union, next to the presi
dent, and a failure to greet him as
such will work to the city’s disad
vantage.
But all understand this. Come
out tonight and attend the meeting.
Don’t leave it for somebody else to
do; you can’t expect that sort of
feeling to help a city.
WOULD BE A SHAME.
It is said that the name of the
postotfice at Appomatox Court
House has been changed to Sur
render. If true, it is a shame.
Surrender would stand as a per
petual taunt, and the New York
Sun is eminently correct in the fol
lowing editorial on the subject:
“We learn from the Richmond
State, which is properly indignant
at the change, that somebody in the
postoffice department has altered
the name of the postoffice at Appo
mattox Court House, in Virginia, to
‘Surrender.’
“It does not appear that any
body in Appomattox had asked for
the change, and it anybody! had, it
should have been denied. The only
other Appomattox is in Kansas.
“Appomattox is a great historical
name, one of the most memorable in
history. It is a name sacred and
glorious in the North and the South.
“ ‘Surrender’ is an unnecessary
and odious substitute. We invite
the Hon. Wilson Shannon Bissell to
look up the pragmatical blockhead
that has perpetrated this crime of
nomenclature, and to sit upon, re
prove, and overrule him.”
It is estimated that the corn crop
of the Southern States will this
year be the greatest raised in
years. These States have not been
considered corn-selling States; on
the contrary, they have always been
large purchasers of corn from the
Western States. But this year
they will consume supplies drawn
from home production, and the
planters will be encouraged to con
tinue corn planting until the pro
duction will be not. only sufficient
for home consumption, but will
furnish a surplus for sale to other
States. Cotton is commanding a
low price, but the crop has been
made cheaper than ever before and
the profit wiil be greaier than
usually attends low prices. The
Southern farmer is learning how to
raise his own supplies.
In his speeofi at Savannah Sen
ator Walsh painted a glowing pic
ture of the possibilities before the
South, and especially of Georgia
contrasting it with the West, and
showing it to be by far the more de
sirable section. He deplored the
fact that land has been outlawed as
capital by the discriminations of
the national banking system. He
spoke of emmigration as a power in
building up a country, and said by
bringing the right kind of people
into this section the arable lands of
Georgia could be increased in value
to sl3 or sls per acre where they
now scarcely bring $7. The rail
roads of the West had, he said,
built up that section by carrying
people there, the same mission is
before the railroads of the South,
and they must lend a generous hand
to the development of this section.
Georgia, he said is a most desirable
State for settlement, and is a good
field for development ana invest
ment. j

CRISPI’S AMoIfiONS.
■ ■ —<
Interesting Situation Made Apparent by the
Premier’s Overtures to the Vatican.
The remarkable speech made by Pre
mier Crispi at Naples the other day has
since been almost the >. jie topic of con
versation among politicians, whose ex
citement contrasts curiously with the
composure with which the apparent
overtures for a reconciliation between
state and church have been dkuussod at
the Vaticoh. The clerical calmness is
due to the fact that the pope and his
counselors have long been aware* of the
desire of the court and the liberal aris
tocracy and of the great middle clast
for a friendly understanding with tin-
Vatican and of the gradual conversion
of the redoubtable Crispi himself to the
political necessity for a working ar
rangement between chu ch and state.
The spread of ultra revolutionary doc
trines in recent years has greatly alarm
ed Crispi, himself an old revolutionist,
and the various attempts on his own life
have doubtless quickened his hatred of
anarchism. But the main motive actu
ating him has been personal and polit
ical.
There is no longer a Crispi party in
the Italian chamber. The present min
isterial majority is composed of men of
various shades of political opinion,
whose action at any given moment can
not be relied upon. Crispi’s aim now is
undoubtedly the formation of a new
moderate conservative party, but he has
little prospect of success without the
support of the clericals, whose influence
throughout Italy is enormous. The
Agenzia Libera Italiona said some time
ago that Crispi, in the course of conver
sation with friends, said he had three
ambitions in life—the restoration of the
national finances, the re-establishment
of friendly commercial relations with
France and the reconciliation of church
and state. Hostile politicians are doing
their best to thwart the first, but the
second is believed to be within measur
able distance. The third depends upon
Crispi’s power, desire and courage to
offer the Vatican sufficient inducements
to exercise its influence at the parlia
mentary polls. It is believed that the
Vatican is quite prepared to treat.—
