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. — Are You Tired, of Being Sick? Wc want to say a word to the men, women and girls who work in stores, offices and factories. There are hundreds of thousands of you in the country. Very few of you are well.

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 tainment. H.
