Carlisle very properly de clincd to visit the Atlanta Chau lauqiia. The Macon News continues its very effective support of lire Democratic party. President Cleveland don't seem to he in any hurry about writing his letter of acceptance. Caterpillars are reported in the co lon fields on the river between Georgetown and Eufaula. The people of Americus are moving iu'the matter ot a cotton factory. The ‘‘Eastern Question” is still the paramount factor in European politic?. The republican tariff hill will make a deep ent into the duty on sugar. The North don't raise sugar. Hon. E Q Mills is too lug a man to notice the dirlv and vul gar epithets applied to him by the Atlanta Constitution. The prohibitionists of Minnesa ta in their recent State convention tisik strong ground against the republican high tariff platform. The Senate on last Thursday passed one hundred and twenty seven pension bills in fifty min tries. Texas got in her first hale of cotton of the crop ol 188S on the 25th ol j ulv. That's a long way behind old Georgia. The Tory government of Great Britain continues its outrageous policy of intolerance and oppres sion towards Ireland. The high tariff newspapers which claim to he democratic really desire tire success of Mr. Harrison. If Mr. McKinley wants to make a republican campaign speech in Georgia, he should be invited by his own party. The Macon News ridicules the Chautauqua speeches ol Messrs. Mills anil Bynum. Is there any thing Democratic that the News don't make light of? Those who misrepresent the Democratic party by charging it with favoring "free trade'’ aie only seeking to accomplish its de feat.

The republican Senators have decided to prepare a tariff Sheas tree as a substitute IVr the Mills hill, and to press it through re gardless of the lime it may con sume. The protectionists arc making a great effort in frighten the la boring man with the invisible spectre of free, trade, ami thus prevent him from supporting the Democratic party. Randall, the republican ally, although he controls only three Democrats in Congress, is said, by a certain sycophantic | aper in Georgia, to be the greatest of Democratic leaders. This same paper, like the man who is the abject of its servile adulation, ia doing all it can to defeat the dem ocratic parly. Is the Tariff ■ Business Question Only I The advocates of s high pro leclive tariff arc laboring with the Utmost diligence and industry to create the impression that the tariff question is only a business problem that must he decided up on business principles. Such a -view utterly ignores constitutional considerations; sets aside the momentous issue of right and wrong; and repudiates the funda mental principle of all free gov ernment. It is of course a repub lican view, and it is strikingly consistent with the record of the republican party. Its control ol the union has been remarkable for its repudiation of principle, and its audacious disregard of the rights of the people. In the whole of its twenty-four years of power, it lias been entirely guided and controlled in its action by the base and selfish maxim, "The end justifies the means.” It’s record reeks with dishonesty, roguery, anil corruption. It lias had no more regard for the organic law than a brute has h»- the Sabbath. The government with them is only a machine for aiding favored classes in their private affairs. A provision of the constitution is as powerless as a “ro(>o of sand" to hind them. When you tell them of their wilful violations ol the terms of the union, they promptly answer that there is a "higher law” which demands their obedience; and thus to the de pravity of human selfishness they add the crime of hypocrisy. The idea that all public questions however important they may he. must he considered and decided from a business standpoint, is not only' fraught with falsehood, hut is bristling with dangers to the best interest of the people. It is fortunate for the country that this false ami dangerous idea meets with no favor from theDem ocratic party. A few individuals, it is true, who claim to be Demo crats, animated by the same ra pacily and greed that dominate the republicans, have abandoned the constitution, anil the princi ples of justice and right; and, looking at everything through the medium *f personal gain, are clamorous for the adoption of the republican maxim, "The end just ifies the means." The business feature is the very smallest part of the tariff problem. Tariff du ties can be rightfully levied only for purposes of revenue, and when this taxing power is prostitutes) to the purpose of promoting pri vale gains, it is tyranny of the most outrageous character. The government .possesses no right whatever to levy taxes to foster certain industries. The object of all legislation should he to pro led and benefit every citizen alike, and not to force the many to pay tribute to the few. We therefore most emphatically assert that there is something more than dollars and cents involved in the larifl question, anil that it must lie decided upon higher and in finitely more ini|w>rlaut ground. A great principle lies at the hot tom id’ it all—the principle of jus lice and right. A Minister’s t'sarlellea. llev. O. Winktield, of Union Point, Ga., suffered terribly for 12 years from articular and sciatic rheumulism. He consulted nu tuerous physicians and tried ail sorts of medicine. Finally he be gan taking the Swift Specific as a forlorn hope, and by its use he was entirely restored. He writes: “I feel like a new man. I cannot attribute my miraculous and per feet cure to anything hut the Swift Specific. I know that it alone cures! me, for nothing else had done me any good for twelve years. I owe my restoration and strength for labor and religious duties alone to the grand remedy, and gladly make tins statement for t he henrfiiof all sufferers from this most torturing disease—rheuma tism.” Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases mailed free.

Hereafter, when the Atlanta Constitution desires a radical to nine to Georgia to make a ‘cam paign speech, it should get Pledg er, B.rek or some other member of the republican party to invite l hi ur Stay iu Georgia. It is not a little remarkable that while many of our people leave llu-tr native State every year in the hope cf finding a hotter home in the West, hundreds and thousands are annually-coming to Georgia to secure the same desi rable object. At this time an im portant scheme is on bait to ad vertise the great resources of the State, a* a means of attracting im migration. . Our population is too small. H e need more people to help us in building up our waste places. Why go West or else where in que^t of a more desira ble home? If you find riehet lands this advantage will be more than counterbalanced bv some tut favorable condition. All things considered, there is not a better country in the woild titan Gcor gia, and there is not a better ot more desirable locality in Georgia than Randolph county. Muelt <d our land, it is true, lias been ex hausted, and thrown out, but illi cit n by wise and intelligent man agemenl he restored to more than its original fertility. There are thousands of acres in onr county which arc now considered worth less, that tnay be ami will be brought up to a high state of nil tivalion. When this is done, the ugly and unfortunate effects of a short-sighted and mistaken policy will be removed, and the pleasing evidences of prosperity will greet the eye in every direction. There is no reason why any one should “go West.” Energy, industry, and economy will lie rewarded with success almost anv where, hut no where more so than in Ran dolph county. Our population must be greatly increased before our slumbering resources can lie awakened into life and activity, and therefore we can ill afford to lose any of our citizeus by ctuigra lion. Let us all resolve to stay at home, around which cluster so many happy associations;anil aid in developing the great and n inner oils possibilities with which a kino Provtilcnec has blessed us. "A better place” is a delusion that lias lured many a matt to a ilesti ny of irretrievable ruin. We are loo much prone by human nature to under estimate the tilings that we have, and to magnify the op portunilies and the conditions that arc supposed to exist in nth er sections. Let us appreciate what we now possess, and determ ine by persevering labor to make it better. Political Slavery. There never was in all the his tory ol the world a more consum mate condition of political slavery than that which exists to day among the negroes of t his country. The shrewd and unscrupulous re publican leaders of the North were eminently successful iu their ef forts to secure the political sup putt of the enfranchised slaves. These efforts did not com template the welfare of the negro, but were prompted ltv a desire to keep the republican parly in power, so that the leader* thereof might grow rich ujion public plunder. The while republicans were to hold the offices, while the negroes were to do the voting. This was a very- nice arrangement, but it failed of tiie beautiful results which were anticipated with so much eager ness and confidence. It failed because it meant negro domination in the Southern Stales, and negro domination, meant the bankruptcy and min of evety Southern interest. The while |teoplc who possess the wealth and Intelligence of the country must and will control it, because its happiness and prosperity are vi tally involved. The arrangement not only failed of its intended re suits, but actually hem-filed tbe country by giving increased strength aud greater jtower to the Democratic party. The negro, however, is still the same subservient political slave that he was twenty years ago. He stands ready to implicitly ohey'or ders of the Northern bosses. He has no idea of freedom of thought and freedom of action in politics, the notion that was instilled into his uneducated tuitid at the lime of his emancipation, that his sale tv and welfare depended upon un yielding opposition to it is former master, still controls his action.— The experience and observation of nearly twenty-five years have added nothing to his political wisdom, and to-day he is groping his way in the darkness ol bigotry and prejudice. It is true that in the North some of the more intel ligent ones are becoming weary of the yoke of servitude, and have indicated a determination to as sert their independence, liut in the South they submit with evident pleasure to tbe dictation of the political masters. While they have made some progress in other directions, yet in politics, it must be admitted with regret that they have taken no steps toward broad and liberal views, aud independ ence of action.

Cooper. /editors Enterprise «C Appeal : It has been so long eineu 1 have written anything for the p»|iers that I have almost forgotten how, the thing ought to he tlone. How j ever I’ll write some and maybe I j will get tny band in again. Anil] first, I want to tell yon how wel come arc the visits of your excel lent paper. Whatever else we tnay not rend, the Enterprise is never overlooked. All of us are anxious to know how things are going on among our old lYiwula in and around Cutlibert. To me. at least, it seeina but a few weeks ago since we were ali at home in your initial. Anil yet it lias been more Than two years end a half since we left. How many eitan ges have taken place in lhattitne! I am glad that under them all Cutlibert still prospeis and the Enterprise is as clean and pure ::S ever. i don't believe '-that anything lias got into I lie papers about it. but tills place lias been in a whirl of excitement for several weeks, and especially* for the last few days. Some tunc since a commit lee from Birmingham, represent ing the Pratt Steel Process, came over to CarlersyiUe to examine our ores, and listen to any induct- inentsihat might he made to lo cate their works here. They were satisfied with I he ores, both quail ty and quantity. Our people made them offers, which, under the circumstances, were very lib eral. They then visited other places, and it was not till Wctl nesday that we knew whether we were to succeed or not. Hut on Wednesday the Committee came, papers were signed up on both sides, tbe site lor the furnaces se lected, and promise given to com tnencc work in ten days. So at last wc are to have an iron iur nace, a ferro manganese furnace, ami a lolling nidi. Your readers can imagine how tilings have boomed since there was a certainty of these important enterprises. Land buyers have been plenty, and lots altogether neglected before, have been very much in demand. Prices have run away up, and in fact it i< hard lo get a man to price his properly now; he is s» alraid he i won't price it high enough, and it w ill lie gobbled up before he can say “Jack Robinson.” I was fortunate in being able to buv tlie choicest lot in the place several months ago before boom prices set in, and am congratulat ing uivseif or being aide lo live in the centre of the town, on a good eminence, with plenty of room, and all at a very reasonable figure. 1 heard yesterday that another company had purchased nim-iy acres just below town, and would litiild a rolling mill on it. It is tlemght that a great nttm her of enterprises will soon follow these that are now assured. I do not know why Caru-rsvillc should not do as well as Birmingham or Anniston. Birmingham ships ore from this place all the time to supply her furnaces. 1 am assur ed by those whom I regard as both capable and truthful nten that the ores here are much more abundant, and much better than at these famous Alabama towns. The difference lias been that there organized and well directed efforts were made to bring in oapi tal—here there has been no union of effort uutil within the last few months. And now that we are on a “boom” some of vour "bloated bondhold ers,” and burdened capitalists might, find a good investment up fieie for some of their surplus cash. We have hail quite a "boom” in another direction of late—a pro hibition boom. It came up iu connection w ith Lite nomination ol a candidate lor the Slate Senate. This county is under a special lo cal option law somewhat like that of Randolph. The • wet" nten put out their candidate, a vciy promt nenl, and a wealthy man. making uu issue of putting tlie county uu del* the yencral local option law, and so voting on it etery two years. Some of us were quite un easy lor we did not know how things were going. You may be sure that the “dry” folks were happy when they found the “wet’ candidate was beaten bv nearly 2i to 1. ' ‘Prohibition has been* a grand success here, and the fcv'iug in its favor seems to be on tlie in crease. Only a lew years ago this county was carried for prohi bit ion by a majority of only 2. And the absence of bar rooms has not “hurt trade*either. Not withstanding there was no boom, and mine iu sight, the population of the town has increased over 700 in two years. It always seemed strange to me that a man in his right mind could think that the bar room business helped the trade of the town. The only trade it helps is the bar room trade, aud every dol lar the bar room gets isjusl that much taken from the regular mer chants that sell sugar and coffee, and provisions and clothes. It often happens that the trade of a town is hurl from various causes. Sometimes a new railroad, build ing up new towns along its route takes away traile Sometimes a town 25 to 30 miles off is a rail road competing point, and because cotton can be carried cheaper from that point, that town call afford lo pay a higher price for cotton and the first town suffers in her trade. People are always going -where they can get the most tor wital they have to sell, prohibition or no prohibition. And yet I have heard men declare that prnhihi lion was ruining the trade ofoa town, when a town not mure than 25 miles tiff was paying $2 50 more per bale for cotton. In this war Rome has had the advantage »f iur town, but we have managed to build tip on our minerals, in spile of the disadvantages we were at as to cotton. Somehow I always noticed that prohibition did not hurl "Shell man,” in your owu county. If any? of yoit-r county jieopte arc dis posed to think that a town can’t do well and build up trade wilL- 9 •mt liar rooms jaunt them to Shelltnan.

July 27th, 18SS. The Chautauqua Muddle. Camilla Clarion. Bishop Henry YV. Gradv, ol the Atlanta Constitution, is running the Salt Springs Chautauqua, a of university pro tem. As »ne of the literary and scientific lec Hirers, Mr. Speaker Carlisle was invited to deliver an address on the taxing power of the govern ment. lie accepted the invitation So fai, so good- A lrcmcudou> crowd was about to rush to Sail Springs Imm Georgia and neigh boring Stales lo hear the great statesman and Henry was happy over the financial prospects. But Henry lias zeal iu nnoihei direction. In fact he is a diversi tied man and edits a diversified newspaper and diversifies hi instil all over creation. ‘•>*owr.” says llenrv, “we’ve got Carlisle and it's a big thing ioi tlie Chautauqua, lint plague take hiui. lie's a democrat. and while his lecture will l»c non partisan, it will play thunder with khe Consti tution ami Joe Brown. Carlisle will enthuse the already unified democracy of Georgia on the doc trine that tlie government has u«» right to tax wind, clothing ami cotton tics and have the lax paid to the mamifactuier lo make him rich; ami if any tiling is to be tax ed it ought to be whisky first. That will suit the people of Geor gia. but it will play the very wild with the Atlanta Constitution Now the Constitution will get any thing but a lift from Carlisle But we ll fix things. There is .a hig man up there on theConstiin lion's side. YVe’ll gel Republican McKinley, of Ohio, to reply t«. Carlisle. He will balance things somewhat and as the Constitution is u» keep in with Buck Bullock and all parlies, wr’U invite hiui. it will be a *jinning card. It is true (Ja^iUle was m*t notified to comedown here and engage in a controversy with McKinley, bui we have got him fixed now wheie he can't back out and we’ll liave^- sens ation and some fun. and make lots of money? ami the Coustilu lion, the all absorbing interest of Georgia, will not come out at iht bottom.” . 4 Carlisle's address will no more endorse the Constitution than did the Georgia weekly pi ess. But : the Constitution lias got to be en dorsed by somebody. Iu polities she has got herself in a bad fix and needs endorsement. The Weekly Press over at Gainesville wouldn't endorse worth a cent. McKinley will endorse her and Carlisle won’t be invited back here to answer him. C UI * protec tive tariff man will have the last lick. Ha, ft a, ha! Cai lisle thought he was coming to deliver a liter ary address, hut we played an At laula trick on him and got him into a controversy without notice. He is pledged to come and he can’t wiggle. Tlie Constitution, the Augusta Chronicle and the Macon News will wiggle, however. We'll throw dust into the eyes of the people again. They are dem ocrats and would think it strange for a man calling hi in sell a demo crat to be inviting republicans to Georgia to break down the effect of Carlisle’s visit. But, by jingo, this is Chautauqua, you know. To head tiff Cleveland's visit to tlie Piedmont we had Sam Randall to come down bcfoiehand with hi? jnoteelive tariff. Ami didn't we Constitution fellows chuckle at our trick? Randall is sick and can’t come now. Besides he’s too good a democrat Lo be antagoniz ing his party in the midst of a picsidvnlial campaign. No other democrat will. McKinley is our man.” Mr. Cailisie saw the trick. lie refused lo come under the eirciim stances aud he did right. He is an honest man and a gentleman. When he 19 invited lo deliver an address, he will do it. When hi ts invited under false colors to be enLrapi>cd into slump speaking and political controversy at a Chautauqua, he modestly* and del icately declines. He is not afraid of McKinley, Blaine. Henry Grit dy nor the devil himself uu the tariff question, but he lias self-re speck aud knows how to exercise it. Hurrah for Carlisle! Now, Henry, all that clap trap about Senator Colquitt and Rep resentative Stewart refusing to ex i tend the invitation to McKinley is j too thin. If he had been invited to deliver a literary address doubtless they would have been glad to invite any literary man, lepublijau or democrat. But here was .t semi political combination formed by Buck anil Grady, and if they wauled republican speakers lo slump Georgia, even in the name of Chautauqua, let republi cans do republican work. Speech is free at the South, but Colquitt and Suiwart arc not the men to work up a boom for the protective tariff men. Colquitt ami Stewart are democrats The 2d neon News raised ils old howl against Colquitt, of emuse, for refusing to invite McKinley. It is not certain that lie did. K he did, he did right. Democrats are loo busy woikiug for Cleve land and tariff reform now, to take a hand iu Henry Grady’s foolish ness of prostituting his Chautau qua into a political arena. Ucn- ry. go slow. Y«»u mix up things terribly, sometimes. YVecongral ulatc you on gelling Mills and Bynum to speak yesterday. They were invited after it was found ont tfiat you wanted political ron'rn versy nt your Chautaitqna, an we suspect they gave you an 5 Buck a little more than you want till.

Some of our Is*ys think it is not near so far’to town as it used to be, and they are wearing a broad smile because she promised to come again. Miss Jennie Pearce spent several days recently with Miss Ne ttie Billion. Miss Jennie made quite a number of friends while here. Miss Florence Stanford is out this week. She is stopping with Miss Nannie Thornton. Misses Lora Page and Nettie Bridg man ofyheliinan, were visiting friends in the community last week. They left for home on .Sunday afternoon, leaving a lot ot griel-strickeu buys behind. Troubles never come singly. A few days ago, Mr. Charlie Ward had bis cart completely demolished, and a few days later we are told his buggy was lorn up, also. All clue to the caprice of the. Texas pony. Another serious accident occurred one day last week, to a mule, belong ing to Mr. Lawrence Wamble. While Wille Wamble and Blonnie Am mons, on their way to town, were ‘descendinga hill the holding l»ack strap broke, and the mule became frightened and run, tearing up one of tiie wheels. The mule, then began kicking, and iu his struggles struck the fifth wheel cutting tlie leader of his leg very nearly in two. YVe hope it will ultimately recover, but the prospect, at present is very gloomy. Pi of. A. J>. Harris has been visling among friends and relatives during the past week. B. P.
