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 Arp write its election editorials for the next few months it would be a good thing for the country. He would lift the cloud of despondency that seems to hover over the sanctum sanctoriurn of that magnificent journal. An imperial mandate has been executed in China directing the president of the academy to translate Shakespeaie into Chinese for the benefit of the young prince. The New (Means Picayune thinks that if they ever get Hamlet into a Chinese theatre he will never come out alive. Keely, the ianious “motor man, is having trouble with his stockholders, and is likely to go to jail unless he re veals the workings of his wonderful in vention. We think the Keely motor will ever remain one of the hidden mysteries —as much hidden to Keely as the balance of the worhL 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. Helena, M. T. is a rapidly growingcitt- Over $4,000,000 worth of improvements in and about the city will be made dur ing the next three months. Over $1,000,- 000, worth of residences and business buildings are now in process of erection. Anew Catholic college to cost $500,000 will soon be commenced, and a SIOO,OOO hotel is to be erected. 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. Country merchants will find our stock aree and prices same as Rome and At lanta. Sticklaxd & Bro. The choicest foreign and domestic fruits always ou hand at Mafiett’s. tf. 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. Many Citizens. Nov. 13th, 1888. 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- gusta News. Just as we go to press the news reaches CartersviHe that Col. T. M. Milner was elected Judge of the Cherokee circuit, and A. W. Fite, Esq..
