Remember the big Democratic

The victory of the Japs was not
an Occidental occurence.
Florida crops including oranges,
are said to be unusually good.
One of the Memphis lynchers has

Atkinson’s majority over Hines,

The winter girl’s praises will soon

Walsh, Turner, Bacon and Gar
rard, candidates, and dußignon,
Hammond, Berner, Crisp and Clay,
dark horses, seems to size the sena
torial situation up, says Thad
Horton in the Atlanta Journal.
The first chapter of Outre Mer,
or the New World, as seen by Paul
Bourget, appeared in Sunday’s New
York Herald, and attracted much
attention. He has unoriginal style,
and is writing on a subject that in
terests us.
We clip the following appreciated
compliment from Tuesday’s Atlanta
Constitution : “Manager Knowles,
of the Rome Tribune, is constantly
making improvement in his paper.
Sunday’s edition was a notable one,
and was one of the largest news
papers ever published in the city
of Rome. Tue Tribune is a success
at last.”
GIVE US GOOD ROADS.
The Atlanta Journal of yesterday
contained a strong editorial on the
subject of the convict lease, and
urges the next legislature to take
bold of the matter in a practical
way. The new constitution of
Mississippi forbids the leasing of
convicts, and Georgia should do the
saaae.
The people ot Georgia are practi
cally unanimously opposed to the
lease system. All for the legisla
ture to do is to arrange for keeping
them at work on the public roads
and other public workauch as may
be determined on. No county in
Georgia can boast of as good country
roads as Floyd county. This has
all been done with our county con
victs, and we are still improving the
roads. Give us more convicts, and
in a short time we will show you a
perfect system. Let the State do
likewise and it will mean much for
the comfort, convenience and profit
of all her citizens.
The people have made ®p their
minds on this question, and the
next legislature must attend to it.
A TRIBUTE* TO LIARS.
Editor Carmack, of the Memphis
Commercial, pays a tribute to liars
in the following caustic manner :
Who sets the great enterprises
afloat? Who is the originator of
vast investments and the instigator
of magnificent projects?
The liar.
Who is it that floats the bonds,
discounts the paper and maneuvers
the initial steps of corporations and
consolidations?
Who is it that has settled the wild
lands of the West and made Uncle
Sam no longer a free holder?
The liar.
Who is it that originates “booms”
and distributes capital from the un
wary to the wise.
Who is it that makes wild cat
mines successful and sets a prize
upon human ingenuity?
Who is it that gives the impetus
to politics and the trend to political
economy ?
The liar.
The liar has as many guises as
Proteus. Anon he wishes to make
your fortune, and again he wants to
borrow a dollar.
But he is always pleasant and
agreeable, whether engaged in the
soliciting of millions in world stir
ring plans, or in attempting to sc
cure a free lunch. The truthful
man will affront you with rude can
dor and will hold up your faults
brutally to your notice. But the
liar, he will do nothing of the kind.
He will make you comfortable and
happy. He will put you at peace
with the world and destiny.
Whether he is in commerce, or in
politics, or in the snow business,
whether he is offering you a posi
tion or asking a favor let him be
respected in the future and let his
merits be recognized.
Cotton is low; so are wheat and
bacon, and clothing and dry goods.
A bale of cotton at 6 cents a pound
will, today buy a quarter more of
nearly everything a farmer wants,
than would a bale of cotton when
the price was 17 cents in New York.
That is to say, the farmer can now
do •that much better than he could
then, provided he has sold his cotton
and has the money with which to
buy supplies. When cotton in the
early seventies brought 15 cents a
pound on the plantation, flour cost
sl2 a barrel at. the village store,
mess pork, $25 a barrel, raw sugar
10 cents a pound, calico 12 to 16
cents a yard, and so on, Cotton and
wheat, you see, are not the only
things that have come down in
price—not by a good many.
- In the opinion of some of our con
temporaries if Senator Hill should
run and defeat Morton for Governor
of New York, he would be a strong
presidential probability. He may
suit New York, but he will never
suit Georgia. Cleveland had better
tie given a third or a sixth term be
fore Hill should be allowed to step
in.

THE ROSTE TRIHGUBfI, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1894.
KATE FIELDS OPINION.
I dont see why Sonrthern governors
and other people of less .official import
ance-should get so overheated'about the
advent of that English Viligauce com
iniMee sent here to investigate lynch
ings. The whoie matter is an excellent
joke, and we should preserve our nat
ioual.reputation as a hiunor loving peo
pleby receiving these emissaries of the
Loudon philanthropistevwith all possi
ble cordiality.
The investigators have probably come
over with the that they can make a
leisurely tour of the Southern states,
stopping off here and here to witness
specially striking exhibtionsof our law
lessness; and they will be greatly disap
pointed to find that in order to assist at
an informal execution they may have
to request a private performance for
their personal benefit. Jf they think
to learu anything by asking questions,
they will find the situation still more
hopeless.
The only tw ■> people who ever know
aiming about.a lynching are the newspa
per reporter who did not see it, and the
gentleman in whose honor the enter
tainment was given. The testimony of
the former being highly inacurate, and
that of the other very difficult to come
by,the compilation of a report on lynch
ings presents lusurmouutable obstacles.
