The Savannah Press thinks that
what this country wants is “more bat¬
tleships and fewer Monroe doctrines.”
Secretary Carlisb* has receiving bids
for the new issue,of bonds aggregat¬
ing nearly $<100,00(1,000. The highest
bid is a little more than 1.11.
The United States senate passed a
free silver bill last week by a vote of
44 to 35. The house refused its con¬
currence, however, and the measure
was defeated.
A prominent Carolinian is quoted as
saying of Tillman's speech: “South
Carolina people say that it is an old
speech; that he has used the same
phrases over and ov«r again on every
stump in the state, and that his epi¬
thets are as familiar to people down
there as Watt’s by ins.”
The Albany Herald thinks that it
is mighty handy to have a judgeship
to resign when a man wants to go to
congress. This thing of using the
bench us a springboard for congres¬
sional nomination is becoming general
and the Herald thinks “it is not a good
argument for the election of judges by
the people in Georgia,”
This year die state and county elec¬
tions will occur on the same day—the
first Wednesday in October. Hereto¬
fore the state election has occurred ut
that time while the oue for county of¬
ficers has been held in January. The
general assembly of '94 changed this
aud fixed the whole business for one
day. So it is easy to see that the cam¬
paign will open up early and be full of
life.
Col. R. T. Nesbitt, state commis¬
sioner of agriculture, ’s ill issue in a
few days an important letter to the
farmers urging a careful and systemat¬
ic reduction of the cotton acreage for
this year, as the only means by which
the cotton crop can be made to yield
a profit to the producer. The South
should plant on a 7,000,000 fiule basis,
he suys, which w ill insure 10 cents a
pound for the crop.
A mau in the western part of Ne¬
braska having a large bunch of hones,
the market being overstocked, wrote
to a friend in Washington city to as¬
certain if he could not help him sell a
car load or two of his stock. The an¬
swer was very brief and read as fol¬
lows: “The people of Washington ride
bicycles; the street cars are run by
electricity and the government is run
by jackasses. No demand for horses.
The old legend, Pike's Peak or Rust”
which used to adorn the canvas covers
of emigrant wagons in the old days,
has been succeeded by various signs
appropriate to the changed and chang¬
ing location of the booinei's paradise.
A big prairio schooner passed through
Osborne, Kas., bound east from Okla¬
homa last week, bearing the inscrip¬
tion: “Oklahoma for starvation, Kan¬
sas ftr desolation, Texas for devasta
Won, Nebraska for damnation. Going
to Ohio to spougc on wife's relations.
To hell with Democratic administra¬
tion.”
The Atlanta Constitution, after pub¬
lishing bogus interviews with promi¬
nent Georgians ami resorting to other
methods characteristic of that paper to
boom the one convention scheme, has
evidently concluded that it is a failure
and tried to shift the responsibility to
the shoulders of Governor Atkinson bv
leaving it to him to decide which plan
is best for the interest* of the party,
Hut the governor was not to be caught
in this wav, ami very properly referred
the Constitution and its “elephant” to
the state executive committee. Wasn’t
that cute?
The rumor that lien, James li.Wea¬
ver would retire to private life and
take his mouth with him is shown to
be a ham* canard, sprung probably by
1 he “blood sucking gold bugs.” Gen.
Weaver is still in the ring, and has in
vested a part of his hank account in a
barrel of the best lubricating oil in an¬
ticipation of the coming campaign.
He was in St. Louis the other day in
attendance upon the populist meeting
there. His jaw was freshly oiled and
wagged •® in a manner that proved ‘ it
good for probably a generation longer.
He suys the country is going to see
this lull a great political party made
up of bolters from the old parties and
the free silveritcs of the populist par
tv. And its dollars to doughnuts that
the general’s name will figure some¬
where, on some of its tickets. The
opportunity will he loo good for him
let pass.
Who will the dear old Earlv County
News favor for Congress this week?
It has, in turn, endorsed all the candi¬
dates uud prospective candidates but
Terrell’s distinguished young states¬
man, The good doctor is making his
paper interesting these days, sure.—
Dawson News.
“Who will the dear old Early Coun¬
ty News favor for congress this week?”
Of course not Terrell’s “distinguished
young statesman,” whose beautiful
dream of Arizona’s U.S. senatrship was
so rudely “demonetized” by the Iliil
boom collapse in 1892. Of course not
the versatile ex-judge of the Pautuula
circuit, who quilted the bench of Ear¬
ly Superior court two years ago to in¬
form a grand jury that the crime of
gambling which he committed, while
as solicitor-general lie was prosecuting
others for the same offense, was bar¬
red by the statute of limitation.—Ear
ly County News.
All exchange says the great trouble
with American journalism is that the
men who know just how a newspaper
ought to be ruu are, unfortunately, en¬
gaged in som<* other business—-loaiiug,
rending borrowed newspapers, living
on the charity of their wives, writing
poetry(?), etc.
Tried for Years.
Mr. John R. Tarver, Dalton, Git.,
says: “June 5th, ’95. This is to eer
tily that I have used Royal Germetuer
in my family for the last live years for
various complaints, viz: Indigestiou,
bowel troubles and general debility,
and find it all that it claims to be. In
fact, I would not be without it in my
house.”
If you would kuow the value of this
great remedy iu the family, send to

lanta, Ga., for a 48-page book, free.

A Model Temperance Feast.
Prof. Blochen was asked over to
preside at a temperance meeting, and
being of an amiable turn of mind, he
consented, but he did not help the
cause much, for this is what he said :
”1 cannot understand why I am
asked to be here. I am not a tee¬
totaler—far from it If a man asks
•
me to dine with him and does not
give me a good glass ot wine, I say
that he is neither a Christian nor a
gentleman. Germans drink beer,
Englishmen wine, ladies tea, and
fools water.”
In deference to the above, I must
suggest this fact, That there is no
present of like value that so delights
the recipient be it man or
prohibitionist or anti—as a bottle of
tine old brandy, wine or w hisky.
It is one thing to condernn the man¬
ufacture and sale of whiskey and
another to carry a bottle home
your ow n judicious use. The true
w ^>' to test a man on this subject is
to send him a bottle of whiskey and
tell him it is very old and pure and
