With the present issue of the
Times ends our second year as its
Editor. How well we have dis
charged our duty we leave for oth
ers to say. We are conscious of
having in many particulars fallen
short of the just expectations of
patrons and friends. But we have
done the best we could, under
many difficulties, which the public
could scarcely appreciate, and
which we w’ill not recount. We
desire rather to make this an occas
ion to reiterate our thanks to those
who have helped us by a generous
patronage and prompt payment for
work done, and for subscriptions.
It is due the Carroll Publishing
Company, and especially its direc
tons, Messrs Oscar Reese, L. P.
Man dcville and George 11. West,
that we gratefully acknowledge
their liberality in purchasing a
Prouty power press for tthc office
after we had contracted with them
for only a lever press. Now we
submit it to every person indebt
ed us, that if any thing can be
added to the force of a contract by
subsequent acts, these gentlemen
have put us under increased obli
gations to pay them promptly and
fully for the use of ther press and
material, and that you share the
obligation with us. Wc are also
indebted to the printers who have
labored faithfully in this office.—
We presume there is not a man
who owes the Times anything, who
would not feel very indignant if
he were accused of oppressing the
the poor. The scriptures denounce
ench as withhold from the laboier
his just wages. Now if you owe
us and do not pay us when you can,
and wo do not pay the printers
because, in consequence of your
delinquency, we cant pay them
who is guilty of with
holding their hire? Wc and those
whom we employ ano dependent
on what we earn for the necessa
ries of life. Is It not oppression,
mid <?£ tl-av wuiSl SOl’i, to keep
oack our wages until twentyfivc to
fifty percent is added to our
burdens? If we had now in cash
what isowing the Times, and past
due, we could, in the puichase of
six months supply of paper, save
enough to pay a quarter’s rent.—
Now’ wont you come up and pay
and make us happy? Then we’ll
pay the other fellow’s and make
them happy, and wo’ll all be happy
together. So mote it be.

A corespondent of the Newnan
Herald, who attended the recent
mceing of stockholders of the S.
G. &N. A. R. R., at Griffin says:
The President reported in sub
stance the earnings of the road for
the past twelve months to have
been $58,841,,62, and the expense
$52 596.31, leaving net, $6,244.21
So it appears that the road from
some cause is rot doing as well as
in former y cars. The President
said in the report submitted:
“I regret that I can offer you no
encouragement to hope for improve
ment in the near future. The road
is dependent almost entirely upon
its local traffic, and the volume of
business is not sufficient to yield
any profit at the rates forced upon
us by the Commission, which arc
but very little higher than the
rates mad® for tiic heaviest trunk
lines of the state.”
It is well known that wc favor a
modification of the railroad com
mission law. We believe the pow
ers of the commissioners are too
arbitrary to be consistent with
democratic institutions of govern
ment. But so long as the rates of
freight are So high on the S. G.
&N.A.R. R. that shippers find
it to their interest to haul cotton
from Carrollton, the terminus of
that road, 16 miles to Villa Rica, a
way station on the Ga. Pacific, it
will be bard to convince any body
that Mr. Raoul has any just cause to
complain of the low rates forced
upon his road by tie commissions.
It would seem that, in order to
j meet competition they should be
still lower.
The same correspondent, speak
• ing of the “free ride” on the oc
coasion of the stock holders’ meet-
I ing, says:
“No decrease in the families of
the stockholders, nor in the “spon
gers,” on such occasions. The
conduct of certain young men who
were under the Griffin inspiration,
was shameful beyond description.
Sutch oaths were enough ot curdle
the blood, wanting to fight, firing
off pistols in a car loaded with las
dies and helpless children. Think
of it! Hear the shrieks and cries of
such, and tell me, ye sellers and
drinkers, can your consciences rest?
One young man, so stupefied with
liquor, that he must lie down, sense
less as swine, disgracing the
mother who gave him birth.
Would Griffin rid herself of
liquor sharps, then it would be a
pleasure on such occasions to visit
her; but so long as she tolerates
such evils, it will be the reverse.”
The R. D. Cole Manufacturing
Company is preparing to erect a
water tower on their grounds which
will be seventy-five feet high. The
tank will contain ten thousand gal
lons and pipes will radiate from it
to every building on the piemises.
To these pipes hose will be attached
inside the building so that a strong
volume of water may be turned on
for the extinguishment of any fire
which might break out.
arrangement will certainly
diminish the risk of destructive
fires to a very great extent and
will no doubt enable the company
to economise in the cost of insu
rance.—Newnan Herald.

Washington Letter.
Washington, D. C.,Nov. 9, 1885
To the Editor of The Times
The President has been kept
very busy since his return in ac
knowledging congratulations on the
result of the recent election. On
Friday last he shook hands with
over two hundred persons who call
ed to congratulate him. He looks
supremely happy, and is now ready
to meet all remonstrances from
Members and Senators against his
policy by referring to the results
of the elections in New York and
Virginia as a vindication of it.
The members of the Cabinet
and Assistant Secretaries in the
city received the returns at their re
spective Departments, where they
had special wires. Great crowds
gathered at the newspaper offices
to read the returns as throw’n on
transparencies, and the excitement
run high till early in the morning.
Such excitement has not been
known for years. The friends of
both parties were confident that the
latest returns would show victory
for their party. The Democrats
are jubilant and the Republicans
are discouraged. It is amusing to
hear reasons assigned by each party
for the result. The Republicans
contend that they arc ahead in
New York because they have car
ried the legislature by an increased
majority, which insures the return
of a Republican Senator, and that
the election of the Democratic
State ticket is only an approval of
the President’s course on the civil
service policy inaugurated by the
Republicans; that it is an endorse
ment of the President rather than a
preference for Hill or the Demo
cratic party- On the other hand,
the Democrats hold that it shows
the strength of their party inde
pendent of Federal interference
and promise of office as a reward,
and that the principles of Democra
cy are deeply rooted in the hearts of
the people. It is an interesting
and animated scene that you wit
ness on entering any one of the
three hotels where the politicians
from all parts ot the country meet
and discuss the results on the above
and other modes of reasoning. The
National, Metropolitan, and Wil
lard’s constitute the Wall street of
politics in Washington. What
scenes! And there is not a politi
cian in the country who was ever
at the Capital who cannot at the
mention of any one of these three
names call to mind some exciting
scene or discussion that happened
while he was there.
Now that the fall elections arc
over, Washington is beginning to
put on its Congressional garb, as
usual at this time of the year. Re
presentatives are coming in to
select accommodations for the win •
ter and discusss the political out
look in their respective States and
the government patronage to be
bestowed. Another subject in
which they are all interested is
the formation of the Committees.
A member’s influence in getting
appropriations for Government
work in his State or district is in
proportion to the importance of
the committee on which he may
be appointed and the place which
he hokls on his committee. When
a member finds that his prospects
of being appointed on a desired
committee are not as flattering as
those of some other member he at
once proceeds to give his support to
the member he thinks stands the
best chance of appointment so as to
have his ear and support for the
measure which he intends to push
before the committee. ,Thc chair
men of the three most important
committees —the Ways and Means,
the Appropriation, and the River
and Harbor —wield a powerful in
fluence in the legislation of the
House. It seems to be conceded
that Morrison will be chairman of
the first named committee, and
Randall of the second. Willis, of
Kentucky’, was chairman of the
River and Harbor Committee last
scseion;and as he and Carlisle—the
coming Speaker —are from the
same State, and warm friends, it is
probable that he will be appointed
this session. Morrison is als
ready here to stay. He is very
reticent as yet on. the tariff ques
tion, but when spoken to on the
subject intimates that the bill
which will be submitted will be car
ried through without fail.
But comparativly few of the
many letters directed to the heads
of the several departments are ever
seen by those august personages.—
The letters are usually’ opened by
an employee detailed for that pur
porse, and those of a personal
nature inspected by the Chief
j Clerk of the Department, who
makes such disposition, of them as
to him seoms proper. If a letter
is found to be of a strictly per
sonal nature or of unusual impor
tance it is referred to the head of
the department for his personal
I consideration. Some of the many
office seekers have gotton wind of
the fact and being determined not
to bo outwitted, have resorted to
the shrewd practice of affixing a
special delivery stamp to the enve
lope containing their petition, thus
ensuring the prompt delivery of
the valuable document into the
hands of the honorable gentleman
himself. The service has been
availed of to such an extent for
this purpose, that one of the Cabi
net officers has directed his special
delivery mail to be delivered at the
office like all other mail matter,
and if it be received after
hours to hold it till the following
day. So it will be seen that the
appointing power is as determined
and shrewd as the office seeker.
The architect of the Capitol re
ports that budding thorough
ly’ ov erbauied and repaired, and
the ventilation of the Senate
Chamber greatly improved. He
also states tuat the mode of light
ing the cloak rooms, lobbies and
stairways with the Edison electric
light has proved highly satisfac
tory, and he recommends that in
candescent light be adopted for the
restaurants and all other parts of
the building where artificial light
is needed during the day. This
light is already used in many of
the departmental buildings. The
government pays thousands of dol
lars a mounth to the gas company
lighting the interior of the builds
ings, and its gas bill is a source of
big revenue to the only gas house
monopoly that exists here. To
give an idea of the amount paid
by the government for the use of
gas, a curtail of S6OO has just been
made in one building—the State,
War and Navy Department-by stop
ping the use of gas stoves for heat
ing some of the rooms during the
cool fall months of the year.
The electric light companies are
making a strong effort to induce
the Government to adopt their
light for all the public buindings
and pni’lio in thu vityj and it ie
thought that it will not be long be
fore they sneered.
The 35th birthday of the Mika
do was celebrated on Wednesday
by the Japanese Legation giving
a dinner to the President’s Cabinet,
and in the evening entertaining
the Diplomatic Corps at Willard’s.
The Japanese Minister, in his full
insignia of office, sat at the head of
the table, with Hon. Saukville
West, the English Minister, on his
right, and M. de Struve, the Rus
sian M inister, on his left. Other
members of the Corps were seated
in the order of their seignority, and
the guests departed at a seasonable
hour, amid expressions of the great
est delght at the evening’s enter
