Any suggestions will be re kind of tradition that negroes were I ceived with tbat ks, addressed t« the “banjo pickers” that they have the World’s Fair Editor, Bamnxs Ed been cracked up to be in later times I itorial Rooms. Mr. Harris ought to know what be is talking about, for his stories from Uncle Remus have crowned him the most thorough student of that phase of human life to be seen “ down in the quarter.” But, Mr. Harris take;, a gre:.‘ task upon himself when be undertakes to disprove this tradi tion, if indeed a matter so modern can be call<d a tradition. It is ton generally accepted now to be cor rected, and it does seem that if it were only a pretty picture painted ol slavery days it would have been exposed long since. The truth is, many an old citizen of to-day who were lords of groa 1 plantations in the dead days of ba« ron<al Southern life, can remember the scenes of corn-shuckings and frolics among the darkies in thost- times, and they will all declare that the only music furnished on thes» occasions was such as could be thamped out of a greasy sheep skit: banjo, or perhaps a screaking fiddle with the “ beating of straws’* now and then in conjunction to form the orchestra necessary for the occasion. Why, the banjo evoluted from its after the close of the war was applied indiscriminately to all • natives of the “Diamond State.” THE LUNATIC ASYLUM- The complaint has lately beer made in certain Georgia newspapeis that the Lunatic Asylum is crowded beyond its capacity and with it the suggestion is offered that there art patients there who should be turned out in order that others might b taken in. The Governor will soon have t< appoint a board of trustees for til. Asylum and this matter will no doubt be considered in their appoint ment. If it is true that the Asylnu. is more than convenie tly filled wi'b patients, so that no others can fin< ! entrance therein, some steps should be taken to remedy the situation.

Such are the States classed as doubtful by the Press. These added to Slates it con cedes to the Democrat*, would give the Democratic candidate for Presi dent 240 Electoral votes, or 17 mor* than a majority. Now look at the doubtful States the Press puts in the Republican co) umn. Illinois’ 24 votes areobviously donbtfnl ; so are Iowa’s 13; so art Massachusetts’ 15 and so are New Hampshire’s 4; while Rhode Island’s 4, Wisconsin’s 12 and Montana’s 3 are almost certain to be Democratic. The Democrats have carried Rhode Island at every election since en larged suffrage ; they swept Wiscon sin in 1890 by 36.000 majority, ami they carried Montana by a decided majority. It would be idle to say that the great battle of 1892 is free from doubt as to the result, but there is no process of rational figuring at this time that can give the Republicans a majority of the Electoral vote. ONE NATION—TWO FLAGS- General Demander-in-Chief ,PaU tner of the Grand Army of the Re public has got himself into a go;m deal of notoriety in these recent days by crying alond at the top of hi.- voice: “ There is but one nation, and there shall be but one flag.” He de nounces the men who would on any occasion follow in the trail of tin Confederate flag.

The Banner WIU Publish Them Reg ularly. The cold weather now upon us is quite a welcome visitor. And yet if many citizens had known of its approach in time, they might have saved their tender fl>wers or plants that were untimely nipped by the ooid wave. The Weather Bureau establishment in Atlanta has made arrangements to an nounce its reports all over Georgia with speed and accuracy, and the Banner will make arrangements to give them to. the public at least twenty-four hours in advance of any sudden fall in tempera ture. These reports are very reliable now and come in well in many cases. So when the Banner announces oold weather hereafter, you may rest assured that it is coming and make your pre parations accordingly. ORANGE BLOSSOMS BLOOM. Mr. W. C.
