Pope Brown has at last “teched off” through the Macon Telegraph and the explosion is said to have (airly set the lulls reverberating. Pope Is a tiptop hot hand and will no doubt weed his vow. The oil fever has struck Georgia too. We would no', ! . , irpriiid >.< hear any day of the discovery of a genuine Beaumont gusher somewhere in south Georgia. And why not, we h ive everything els,' V The multiplication of mankind’s troubles are surpassed only by the inercaso in the pension rolls of the United Slates. When man dies his troubles cease, but Satan himself couldn't tell where the present in iquitous pension business will end. The Blakely Reporter scores this one. “Several of our friends aud subscribers did n„ the favor and themselves the honor to call til's week and deposit with us some of the coin (if the realm . For all such, thee is always a reasonable hope ot happiness in the world to cotnt .” Bishop rurui*r proposes as a rem edy for lynching that ihe government turn over to him all of the vicious class of the negro rtoo with full pow- in to d"al with them as his wisdom may dictate.

The Detroit Free Pres.- ean’t uu- derstand how Georgia’s tax books show such an enormous increase when citizens give in their property at their own valuation and the same is accepted. The Free Press while astonished at the confidence thus im- ’ posed, should remember that it’s Georgians who are taking oath and Georgians oaths are accepted. state since his administration? In stead of “stopping the leaks,” many additional bungboles have been bored into the state’s treasury, and year after vear the people find it harder and harder to keep the thing filled in order to meet the slate's obliga tions. The prudent citizen can but view with alarm the future pros pect. The enormous expenditures for public schools and pensions are a burden that the state will have to hear whether right or wrong, .but both of these systems should be shorn of contingent frauds to which they are exposed. We shall al ways love the cause for which our veterans fought and feel under obli gation to provide for them and their widows in their poverty, but in jus tice to all the people, we think the line should he drawn right there. What justice is there in the stale’s paying pensions to people who are amply able to live without them? We have not yet reached the ex tent to which the tax rates will have to go unless these things are cor rected and a law enacted by which the t.ax dodger nan be caught. O ,r only hope to hold down the tux rate is to revise the pension laws, to justly administer the public school fund am! devise some means of making all classes of citizens bear their proper donate burden of the taxes. KH Vl.l. \VK IIIU. ? While South Georgia needs aud would greatly appreciate the votes of North Georgia, yet thin paper does not favor our begging that section for iho governorship. Such tactics would be out of line with North Georgia’s altitude, which has not been one of “Ask and receive,” but rather “Name and lake” and go her wav rejoining The day is not , r ir distant, and others are beginning to see it, when this end of the state shall demand a share of tl e public offices together with their, honors and emoluments. The phenominal iuercasv of ibis sec tion both iu population and wealth during the past ten’years bus begun to open the eyes of the entire state, so that aftci many seasons of rcli- oeuee and submission, we' are soon to claim our own. The tide is at last turning our way and rather than beg we prefer to stand up and claim what is in justice due us. There should be enough of true patriotism, and wo believe there is, in the upper portion of the state a sufficient sense of justice, to concede willingly to South Georgia a fair distribution of the honors which be long to her. There’s no use in charging political greed to north Georgia when every one knows that she has always al lowed this end of the state to elect members to the legislature. “All cocoons look alike to me,” remarked the hungry bird ae it •wallowed the embryo butterfly.
