daily paper in Atlanta.
There’s one consolation. We'll have .
a8 good a President as the other fellows. .
It seems to have been General Boodle
ami not General Harrison that beat ,
C’eveland in New York.
A Kentucky paper lias already hoisted J
the names of H. W . Grady lor 1 resident,
and Speaker Carlisle for vice-1 resident
in 1892. _____________
As Gen. Harrison cannot answer the
thousands of letters pouring in upon
him, the writers need not trouble them
selves to say ••burn this letter.
General Harrison should enjoy his
popularity while it lasts, says an ex
change. There 11 be trouble when the
pegs prove more numerous than the
holes. _
The smoke of the battle has pretty
well cleared away, and now taking a
calm view ol the field, we are satisfied
that the result is a big surprise to both
parties.
The Republican national platform had
much to say about civil service reform.
We'll see how much of it was sincere.
This civil service business is a delusion
and a snare.
It is stated that a stock company of
Republicans are organizing with a capital
of SIOO,OOO to begin the publication of
a daily in Chattanooga in the interest of
the Republican party.
We pause m our consideration of grave
questions of public polity long enough
to take cognizance of the tact that the
United Stated has raised the largest po
tato crop this year of any in its whole
history. ________________ ___.
Ii the Constitution would let our Bill

that magnificent journal.
An imperial mandate has been executed

Among the more important bills intro
duced in the present Legislature is one
providing lor an amendment to the con
stitution. so that judges of the Supreme
Court shall be elected by the vote of the
State as the State House officers are, and
judges of the Superior ( ourt and solici
tors-general by The votes of their respect
ive circuits. We believe this would be a
vast improvement upon the present
nieth >d, but it does not seem to us the
best that could be adopted. Our opinion
is that the plan provided by our former
constitution is the best that can be
adopted.
IT IS OVER.
Harrison is elected, after one of the
most closely contested elections in the
history of the country.
There’s no use crying over spilt milk.
Let us make the best of the situation,
and keep shoulder to shoulder for the
material prosperity of our Sunny South.
There is no cause for despondency, or
gloomy forebodings. The masses of
the people will be little affected by the
result, one way or the other.
True, Harrison is not a brilliant.states
man, but personally he is a good man,
and his administration will be marked
by moderation and conservatism.
A few years ago Cleveland was elected
Governor of t New York by the largest
majority ever given a man for that office.
Personally, he is one of the most popular
men in tlie country. His administration
has been a fair, just and able one —mark-
ed by a higher degree of statesmanship
than that of any of his predecessors
since the war. Harrison is a man com
paratively little known, without mag
netism, or great personal popularity.
As between men. Cleveland would have
swept the country by an unprecedented
majority. There was less sectionalism
than in *nv other campaign since the
war.
The fight has been on the tariff ques
tion. The Republican managers have so
manipulated as to force the battle really
on a false issue; and while the Democracy
were in position to make an aggressive
fight for general reform, they were
thrown on the defensive, and the burden
of our orators’ speeches have Jieen to
prove that the Democracy was not a free
trade party. Since this position was
secured, Blaine has really been master of
the situation. He Ims been the most
prominent figure in the battle, and
though it required deception, and a
blindfolding of the masses in the North
to accomplish it, he will go down to
history as having won one of the most
’remarkable political victories in our
history.
The influence that controls the North
—whether it be principle, the money
of protected monopolists, is in favor of
protection—and not merely incidental
protection. And this influence will con
trol the country, until time and circum
stances produce otlier national issues.
THE ELECTION AM) ITS RESULTS.
It is to be hoped that the gloomy fore
bodings of the Constifion and some other
leading Derncratic papers will never be
realized, as the result of Harrison s elec
tion. If we have survived and even pros
pered sonewhat under Republican rule
for more than twenty years, we can cer
tainly stand it for four years more.
The Democracy have certainly learned
enough by the late campaign and its re
sult, to adopt more successful methods
next time-
A change of administrations cannot
check the onward march of progress in
the South. She offers a field for invest
ment that cannot be equaled in the world,
end as soon as the excitement of the
election dies ou+, and the colord popula
tion learn that Harrison's election means
no change in the condition of things for
them (except, perhaps to make a few col
ored mail carriers and other colored in
significant officers) there will be a greater
flow of Norther money into Southern de
velopment than ever.
Twenty years experience has certainly
taught the Republican leaders that pan
dering to the negro vote will never break
the solid South, but rather tend to make
it more solid. Hence we believe the new
administration will adopt new and more
sensible tactics, and undertake to accom
plish that result by conciliatory measures
toward the controlling element.
Harrison’s election gives him a grand
opportunity to wipe out sectional issues,
and make for himself a living monument
in the hearts of all the people; and we
can only hope that he will avail himself
of it, and thus display a wisdom superior
to that of his predecessors.
Let us stick to the motto emblazoned
on the shield of our grand old State —
give our attention to the building up of
her material interests —look on the bright
side, and all will be well.
Mudd, the Republican candidate, in the
Fifth .Maryland district, claims to have
been elected, and will contest.
Governor Gordon, in his annual mes
sage to the legislature does not take any
pronounced position on the question of
betterments for the State road lessees.
He refers the legislature to the report of
tlie commissioners who appraised the
property under the act of Oct. 24. 1887,
with the statement that the work was
thoroughly done. As to the disposition
of the property the governor does not
indicate whether, in his opinion, a sale or
a lease of the property would be best,
but he declares distinctly that, if the
property shall be leased, it should be
“for a long term of years, and that it
shall be offered for lease unencumbered
with any claims of any kind.” The dis
posal of the State road and the settle
ment with the lessees will be among the
knottiest questions that will arise at the
present session of the legislature. There
are radical differences of opinion on the
subject and no action should be taken
until alter full and thorough considera
tion.
The St. Louis Globe-Democrat, (Rep.),
says: “David Bennett Hill will be the
Democratic candidate for the Presidency
in 1892. Nothing but his death will pre
vent this, and as he is a young and
physically vigorous man this is not
likely to oecqr before that date. Hill
has many of the elements of popularity,
and he has proven himself to be as
shrewd and adriota party organizer and
manager as the Democracy has produced
in the past ten years. The Republicans
may have some trouble in beating him
in New York four years hence. New
York, however, will never be the pivotal
State after 1888.*’
THE CABINET.
The St. Louis Globe-Democrat, a red
hot Republican paper, suggests the fol
lowing slate for the new Cabinet:
Secretary of State —George F. Ed
munds.
Secretary of the Treasury—John Sher
man.
Secretary of War —John J. Ingalls.
Secretary of the Navy—Nathan Goff.
Secretary of the Interior—Matthew S.
Quay.
Postmaster General —Frank Hiscock.
Attorney General —John B. Henderson.
We looked in on the legislature a little
while Tuesday. It made us ice! at home
to see the familiar, pleasant faces of our
friends Dußignon and Clay in the seats
of honor in the Senate and House. With
the former as President of the Senate
and the latter as speaker of the House,
these bodies will be guided smoothly and
wisely through all their deliberations.
Though comparatively young, they are
both active, practical, brainy men, and
the State is fortunate to have their ser
vices in these important stations.
The fact that the negro vote of the
South is suppressed to an extent which
is equivalent to a general nullification of
the right of such citizens to participate
in elections can not be disputed. —Globe-
Democrat.
This barefaced slander has been so
often refuted, that it is strange to ns that
any intelligent editor will still lend his
columns to the repetition of such a pal
pable, proven, flat-footed, mean, stink
ing lie. But such is life.
President-elect Harrison is getting
letters by the cart load. They are now
congratulatory, but later they will be
asking for something. He announces
through the Associated Press that it is
impossible for him to ever read them—
so interested parties had just as *vell
save paper and postage.
Cheer up, and let the vanquished
pulse’s beat reach the normal again. The
same old sun will shine on in the heavens,
and the same gladsome rainfalls will
bless our coining summer period, if Har
rison is President, and there is nothing
gained by sighing over thefailure of that
that couldn’t be.

Some Advantages* of Poverty.
Southern Luberman.
During the past few years the whole
world seems to have awakened to a realiz
ation of the many advantages possessed
by the Southern States in regard to cli
mate, soil, production, natural resources,
and recuperative powers generally, some
of which seemed to have been over
looked, or underestimated, by the native
born citizens themselves, until pointed
out by the investments made by men of
the Northern States. In fact, it was the
shrewd foresight and the profitable in
vestments of the moneyed and business
men of the North that first directed in
quiry into the real value of the resources
of the Southern States after the old
regime had passed away. The results
have been astonishing, but the end is
not yet. No one ever suspected that the
abject poverty the people of the South
were forced to experience would ever
have proved advantageous to them.
The axiom that “honest poverty is never
a crime, but always a great incon
venience,’’ has never been disputed until
now, and the first suggestions of falsi
ty, as far as regards the Southern States
as States, came out in a curious manner,
which we will endeavor to relate in as
truthful and brief a manner as the facts
before us and our space will permit.
There has been for years a rivalry be
tween the cities of St. Louis and Chicago
—a very generous nue, so far as we
know, as between the citizens of the two
cities, but sometimes quite bitter be
tween their leading newspapers. Recently
a leading St. Louis paper, in a carefully
prepared article, asserted that the farm
mortgages on farms in the State of Illinois
amount, in round figures, to $1,000,-
000,000 —a thousand millionsjof dollars
and those of the State of lowa amount
to $025,000,000. A leading Chicago
paper replies that the entire amount of
farm mortgages in Illinois does not ex
ceed $100,000,000 —one hundred million
dollars, and that those of lowa do not
exceed $50,000,000. Why two ably
eomlucted and wealthy newspapers
should differ so widely in their estimates,
when every farm mortgage in two States
is on record and open to inspection, we
will not stop to inquire, but taking for
granted that one is as much too high as
the other is too low, or even taking the
lowest estimate, it discloses a burden of
indebtedness upon tlie leading produc
tive industry of the States named that
would swamp the credit of any Southern
State.
Illinois has an area of 36,228,800
acres oi laud, and taking her farm mort
gages at an average of the two conflict
ing estimates —say $550,000,000 —and
we find every acre mortgaged for more
than sls per acre !
If these figures are even approximately
correct, the lands of one of the wealthiest,
and most prosperous States in theUniou
are mortgaged for a sum exceeding the
actual average selling price of lands in
the Southern States.
There has never been a day for twenty
five years that theSoutheru people could
have mortgaged their lauds for any
sum. The idea never occurred to them
to secure Eastern or foreign capital by
such means, and their condition and
future prospects have not been such as
to tempt the money kings to advance
money on farm lands at the low’ rates of
interest the Illinois and lowa farm owners
secured.
The poverty ot the Southern land
holders, however hard and inconvenient
to endure, has proven their salvation.
If it had been possible to mortgage
lands in the South at as low a rate of in
terest as the Northwestern land owners
secured, it is highly probable that for
eign capitalists would now control most
of them.
It is an advantage not to be lightly
considered that the Southern lands, as
low priced as they are, are not encum
bered by foreign liens or mortgages. The
next best thing to wealth is freedom
from debt. This advantage the South
ern States possess in a fair degree, and
their citizens enter upon the race of
future prosperity comparatively free
from the terrible incubus of debt upon
their lauded interests.

Attention, Citizens of Chi torsville.
All of the male citizens residing in the
city of Cartersville, Ga., are earnestly
requested to meet together at the Court
House on Tuesday evening, Nov. 20th,
1888, at 6:30 o'clock, for the purpose of
considering the advisability of selecting
candidates for mayor and aldermen of
said city for the next year, and also, to
determine whether or not it is best to
allow the amendments now sought to be
made to our city charter increasing the
taxing power of the City Council, from
one half of one per cent, to two or two
and one-half per cent. Both of these
matters are subjects of great interest to
all of our citizens. Let every man ay
aside other business on next Tuesday
evening and meet together as herein re
quested, and attend to all matters that
may come up at said meeting.

Married.
Atlanta Constitution.
On Wednesday afternoon, at the resi
dence of Mr. A. C. Lampkin, of Atlanta,
brother of the bride, Mr. R. H. Garwood,
of Cartersville, Ga., and Miss 8. Alice
Lampkin were married. Dr. H. C. Mor
rison performed the ceremony, and the
beautiful marriage service of the Metho
dist Episcopal church was never more
impressive than on this happy occasion.
Only the nearest relatives and friends of
the bridal couple were present. The dec
orations of the parlors were exquisite,
bright-hued autumn foliage, lovely and
rare flowers being used. The bride looked
charming in a handsome traveling suit of
olive cloth. At 3 o'clock, Mr. and Mrs.
Garwood left for their home in Carters
ville. Mr. Garwood is a well known
young business man, formerly of Atlanta,
and has many friends who will wish him
and his bride all the happiness ot life.
Tiie K. H_ Jones & Sons Manufacturing Cos.
They are well known all over tiie South
as the manufacturers of the best vehicles
on the market, from a handsome pleasure
carriage to the useful and practical farm
wagon, one and two-horse. They under
take to duplicate the work of any first
class manufacturers in the country in
price quality and finish. They are truly
a home enterprise —they get their wood
from our mountain forests at home tmd
the work is dole? by home labor, and
therefore the money is kept at home and
circulates here to the benefit of home
people, supporting and populating our
ow ncountry and developingits resources
and building up our own homes. When
we buy goods made elsewhere, we send
our money away to build up other sec
tions, This is not wise or politic. We
should by all means help every worthy
enterprise in our midst, and therein* help
ourselves and build up tit home. This
house has always maintained their in
tegrity and sustained a reputation for
buildingthebest work. They are worthy
of and entitled to the trade of this coun
try. Call and examine their work and
get their prices before buying. They are
building wagons in great quantities, and
a’-e making the best wagon on tiie mar
ket—the best is the cheapest. tf
If Georgia could turn into doth in her
own borders the 700,000 bales ol cotton
raised in the State, the aggregate value
of the crop could be made almost double
what it is now when the whole crop goes
to New England and Europe. Why not
try the policy of building factories, em
ploying thousands of idle people and
keeping this vast sum of money at
home? Augusta and Columbus have
done their part in the factory line. Let
every city in the State follow suit. —Au-
