Elsewhere over tho signature of “citizens,” appears the names of a number of gentlemen, as suitable can didates for Mayor and Aldermen. By common censent, we believe the Hon. Atlirur Patten will havo no opposition for Mayor. At least we have heard of no opposition to his candidacy. He is a most efficient member of the present board, and Mayor protem. Mr Patten has all the qualities which make an execu tive officer. He is conservative, pro gressive, and understauds the needs and difficulties which environ the town. The geutiemen mentioned ns aldermen are well known citizens, gentlemen of broad and liberal views, and yet conservative in their make up. The interests of Thomasville will be in sate hands if intrusted to their eare for the next year. Mayor Hopkins, as a member of the board, would add strength to it, while Messrs. Wright and Hayes are recognized as the ablest financies in our midst. Their retention on the board will insure a careful handling of the finances of the town. And this is a most impor tant feature of our city government. Messrs. Mallette,Culpepper and Mont gomery are among tho clear headed, progressive men of the town, and if put on tho board, they will discharge tho duties of the position with credit to themselves, and to the interest of all.

A Honduras editor who was sen tenced to be shot was released on pay* mentof 315,000.—Ex- The men who. want to shoot Georgia editors should shoot out tor Honduras. This is also a pointer for Georgia edi tors to go tojlfonduras, where 815,000 can be acquired to tide over an emer gency.—Albany News and Advertis er. If a good many Gcorcia editors had to put up 815,000, or bejshot, there would be many volleys fired in Georgia, and there : would lie numer ous vacancies on Georgia newspapers. It is doubtful, when a man doc3 a good deed on this earth, if the record ing anglo stops to inquire what his business is beforo making tho entry.— Ex. It matters not, so his hearts in the right place, whether he wields a blacksmith’s hammer or dreescs in purple and fine lmen. It is not jhe outward conditions which will fix a mans, status in the next world;though it docs havo a good deal of influence down here. Out of an experiment voteof 108,- ooo farmers polled by a western paper, Cleveland and Blaine respectively were largely in favor as the leaders of their respective parties on the presi dential ticket of 1892. No doubt but they’ll face each other again with the old result.— Ex. The United States revenuo cutter, McLnne, captured a Spanish smug- gl’og craft, off the coast of Florida ibis week. The vessel was taken to Key West. Savannah says she’s bound to pass the 1,000,000 mark, in the receipts of cotton, during tho season of 1890-91. Wo hope she will. Sho is heading in that direction mighty fast. From Hampton to Irby, is a long stride. South^ Carolina is the loser. If she can stand it, we presume the balance of tho Southern States can. Senator Wolcott, of Colorado gave tho force bill some heavy blows in the Senato yesterday. And Senator Wolcott is a republican. If our Indian troubles were probed to tho bottom, it would be found that some rascally white man was the in stigator of them.
