( < ■ :JOMW TBIPl.ETY, Bna. Ulna. The democracy of Georgia should keep their ranks unbroken. ^ ••• ^ - Martin Irons, the once great labor dictator, now sells peanuts in a St. Louis depot. Atlanta is howling for more water, xiiid better water. A year or two ago I hey were crying: more beer. Politicians, the old stagers, arc try ing to take observations. They arc at sea without compass or rudder. Valdosta merchants are fighting tho S. F. & W. Ry. They refuse to take goods out of the depot, shipped over that line. A scheme is on foot in Americas to run an electric car line from that city to the Audersouville national cemete ry, a distance of twelve miles. Charley Pendleton, in the last issue of the Valdosta Times, lias an able editorial on the unity of the democra tic party. Mr. Pendleton is an able writer. George D. McCreary, in speaking of the report that he had purchased a newspaper, declared: “1 have some money and some sense, nnd I would like to keep both.” It is a signifieat fact that a number of western states are eudorsiug Blaine's reciprocity views. Keep your eye on Blaine, in 1892. The South stauds ready to aid in the erection of n monument to Gen Grant. The memory of the man, who rose high enough above party and section, to say: ‘‘Let us have peace,” is revered in this southland. The President has signed the bill for the purchase of the battle field ot Chicamauga and its conversion into a national park. This insures the holding ot a fraternal reunion of the blue and the gray every year on the scene of one ot the bloodiest conflicts of the civil war,—Ex. \ How would it do to execute each condemned murderer after the nanner adopted by him to despatch his vic tim ? Poison for the poisoner, bullets for the shooters, a stiletto for the slabbers, and so on to the end ol the catalogue. If there is any de terrent to mitigate the cruelty of murders.—New York World. United State Marshal Buck is quoted as boasting that he will have "six nig gers and ten white Independents” in the next General Assembly. Buck may run the federal machine in Georgia, but he will not run the legislature. The democrats have a t corner on this last jeb. — The Constitutional Convention of Mississippi, now in session, at Jack- son, is seriously considering the advis ability of adopting woman suffrage, with a property and educational qual ification. It is claimed that this would insure the supremacy of the white race, in that state. The blundering telegraph operator deserves a place alongside the "intelli gent compositor.” A man in Denver got married the other day, and a tele gram was sent out to the effect that the bride was “a handsome Colorado woman.” Tho friends of tho bride groom were startled to read next morning that ho had married “a col ored woman.”—News. The author of "Little Annie Roo ney" has inflicted another song on an unsuspecting public entitled, "I Whis- • )0**nd Waft for Katie.” If Katie is os long in coming as Annie Rooney is in getting married and withdrawing irom the public stage, wc are in for a long wait.—News. It was Stated some time ago that the author of "Little Annie Rooney” was in bad health. A great many people have been anxiously looking for nows The Corn Crop. Anything hearing on the cereal products of the country, is read with interest by tlio agricultural classes. Bread is the “staff ot life," aud, con sequently, the corn crop is always watched with interest. \Vc take the following from the Macon Telegraph : ‘•Official reports from the West in dicate that the corn crop this year will show a great falling oil from the enormous yield of last year. The outlook now is that there will he a shrinkage of about 050,000,000 or over 2(1 per cent. The amount of corn required lor home consumption is said to he 2,000,000,000 bushels, and the total crop this year will not reach those figures, if we may rely on the re ports from the seven or eight Western states which produce the hulk ol our corn crop. The Cincinnati Price Cur rent says: ‘•A careful survey of available infor mation seems to justify tho view that there is little ground tor hope for pro • ductiou exceeding 1,000,00(3,000 bush els lor the entire country, or about 73 per cent of a full yield—the Eeven surplus states appearing to suggest a reduction of about 390,000,0U0, and other states 1'.25,000,000, compared with last year. In verification ot the approximate accuracy of this reduc tion, it may be said that it strikingly corresponds with the official estimnteot the government, which makes the -Condition 73.3 per cent, ot the full crop—indicating about 20A bushels average yield, which applied to 78,— 000,000 acres, suggests 1,000,000,000 bushels as the present indicated status of the crop. It is not likely this total will he exceeded, and the crop will probably not fall essentially short of this.” Sticking to Jute- The Southern Farmers’ Alliance in its last issue said: “The news comes to us that in some few instances alli- nneemen in their suh-alliauccs have ordered jute bagging. Though (join ing by reliablo men wc hate very much to believe that nuy lodge of al- linncemen will buy jute. Our state exchange is shipping daily thousands of yards of cotton bagging to all parts of the state. It lias contracts for about a million yards more than it has orders for, and men who in the face of this fact will order jute bag ging arc doing very wrong.” The State Alliance has passed reso lutions to erect cotton bagging facto ries. In view of the fact that cotton bagging costs more, and is much light er, would it not he a good idea for the alliance to grow jute—it can he successfully grown anywhere in the South—aud erect tlicir own jute bag ging factories, instead of cotton bag ging factories? The subject is worthy of the careful consideration of the or der. Stand Together. The Augusta Chronicle depreciates the independent revolt in the Seventh and Ninth districts and says: "This is not a good year to talk about splits or bolts in Georgia. We must go before the country with united ranks, and wherever they may be week places in the lines they must be protected with redoubled effort, hit Democrats protect their nominees. It party methods or party machinery need amending they can be best amended by Democrats and within Democratic fold." There is not a better exponent of genuine democracy in Georgia than the Chronicle. How the figures Stand- The United States now stands second among civilized countries with respect to population, as this table shows: Population. Russian empire 113,334,049 United States 84,000,000 Germany 04,832,450 Austria-Hungary 40,404,808 France - 38,218,903 Great llrilain nutl liclaud 35,240,033 | (a ] T 28,400,000 Spain"'.'.'.'.' 17,530,240 Gordon bounds an Alarm. The Enqu : rer Sun, Columbus, in noticing Governor Gordon’s speech belore the members of the Stale Al liance, says: He sounded a clarion note of warn ing to the Alliance which should go home to the minds : nd hearts of that great organization. The Governor warned them against the policy of driving off their friends who could not meet the exact requirements of the yardstick. The farmers will need every help in tliei. siruggle for eman cipation from the evils that oppress them, and it will be a mistake to de mand that every ivillin ; ally must con form in each specific particular to the yardstick. The Democratic party is the Iricnd and the hope of the farmer. Democrats may differ as to some of the remedies proposed, hut they ate m lull accord as to the general aim and purpose of this great movement. Has Georgia no Leader? She Has! Governor Gordon has cut the gordian knot and planted himself squarely against the sub treasury bill. It was a bold, brave declaration, and has taken the state by storm. It is just what wc expected of Governor Gordon. Such a declaration comes with good grace from a man like Geor gia’s governor, who has a stronger personal following than any man in Georgia, and who can afford to stand upon the right and force public clamor and class prejudice. Governor Gordon has condemned the sub treasury system in no uncer tain sound. He selected the occasion of the gathering of the State Alliance in Atlanta, and, in the fierce light which beat upon his high office and upon bis candidacy lor the Senate, he declared that he could no‘ subscribe for the sub treasury scheme “even it it cost him forty elections "—Augusta Chronicle. Websters’ Warning. It is very easy to imagine what the position of Daniel Webster toward the force bill would be if he were a mem ber of the Senate now. Webster has left himsell on record in reference to measures of this class. These words of his are as true now as they were when they were uttered, and much more opportune. "A military repub lic, a government founded on mock elections and supported only by the sword, is a movement indeed, but a retrogade and disastrous movement from the regular and old-fashioned monarchical system. Absurd, pre posterous it is, scoff and a saV.re on free forms of constitutional liber.y for frames of government to be prescribed by military leaders, and the right of suffrage to he exercised at the point of the sword.”—Ex. The Alliance Bill. Washington, Aug. ar.—The bil introduced to-day by Senator lllair, upon the request ol the Farmers’ Al- liance, provides tor banks tor the reception of mortgages on real estate. The deposits of first mortgages on real property must be made by such banks with the treaturer of the United States, who shall issue to the banks United States treasury notes of differ ent denominations to the amount of the mortgages deposited. Two Hundred Indictments. Cincinnati, O., Aug. 22.—A Haz ard, Ky., special reports that Judge Lilly’s court, held in a tent guarded by soldiers, has resulted iu 200 indict ments already, many of them for murder and kindred acts of violence, and the sheriff, with a military jiosse, is making arrests in the mouutain*. Florida’s Orange Crop. The orange groves of the State are generally in a very satisfactory condi tion although the effects of the freeze in March last are apparent in many sec tions. The injur/ was distributed very unevenly, sonic groves showing no damage whatever, while in others the crop will be cut down ov;r 50 per cent. New grove:, however, are con stantly coming into bearing and the aggregate yield in money from the orange crop of 1890 91 will doubtless be far in excess of that of the past season, if the trait is not sacrificed in the marketing. Crop Failure. Denver, Col., Aug. 22,—The 500 or 800 people who live in eastern Ara- pahoj county, Colorado, near the Kan sas line, are in a state bordering on star vation. The crops are an absolute failure. The State Tax Rate. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 21.—The gov ernor and comptroller general to-day levied the tax rates for this year. The rate is throe mills aud ninety-sixth one-hundredths of a mill- J. & s Real Estate Agent THOMA“VTliIiB, OA. ffire nttr lljiil !< Calipers Dm; Store, Drud St I mu now prepared to buy or sell, lorotber parties, all kinds ol town or country rent estate nnd linve on my list 11 good assess ment ot biit.li kinds. .Strict nnd close atten tion to tile business will be my aim, and I respectfully solicit a hare of the business ot .he community. augJS-tll scptl MERCER UNIVERSITY, (MACON, GA.)
