It is u little strange—isn’t it—
that the president has never re¬
ferred in his messages to so ar¬

There is talk of a new party—n
fourth purty; strictly a silver par¬
ty. The Democratic party is good
enough for us. Anything better
would make us stuck up.
It is suspected that Editor Sid¬
ney Lewis of the Sparta Jshmae-

Mr. Cleveland a great deal.

Well, congress is about to ad¬
journ. Whereat the country re¬
joices. If ever there was a do
nothing legislative body, this con¬
gress at this session is that. body.
Go home, gentlemen, and whittle
dry goods boxes; that occupation
fits your caliber better than ma¬
king laws.
Al. Field, of minstrel fame, hit
the nail on the head in Macon the
other night when, speaking of one
of his friends, ho said he w as lin¬
ing nothing. “For how long has
lie been doing nothing?” asked
the dignified man at the center of
the stage. “Oh 1 about two years, ”
said Field; “he’s in congress, you
know. » » The audience was not
slow to catch on.
According to the North Caroli¬
na third party idea,Fred Douglass,
c ilored, wits a bigger man than
George Washington or Robert E.
Leo. The legislature of that State
has a majority of Populists and
negroes. It voted down resolu-
lions to adjourn on Washington’s
and Loo’s birthdays, although
those days are legal holidays; but
a resolution to adjourn on account
of the death of Douglass went
through. Douglass, the negro
Republican, the descipleof misce¬
genation, placed above Washing¬
ton, the father of his country,
and Lee, the great Southern mili¬
tary chieftain! Ye gods and lit¬
tle fishes! Is this third partvism?

Peek angry. “I believe,” he
shouted, pointing tint finger of
scorn at them, “that you would

There was an ominous silence for
just three seconds, and then
—“Three cheers for Peek!” cried
the boys; and Peek, be smole a
sickly smile, and until the other
day lie was as dumb as an oyster
peek is wisest when lie is silent.
Congressman Livingston, it
seems, is in favor of free silver j
and an enlarge 1 currency in a
very literal and personal sense.
It is customary for congress to
vote a month’s extra pay to the !
employooH of the House and Sen-
ute, who, it. is presumed, have to
remain in Washington after con-
gross adjourns, to finish up their
work. When the matter was up
the other day, Mr. Livingston
moved to include in the list, re-
ceiving extra pay the clerks of
House members. Now, congress
does not recognize any such thing
as a clerk, or private secretary, to
a House member, but members
are permitted to draw as much as
jjHX) a month during the session
for clerical work ; they must state,
however, that the clerical work
lias been done for them. Some
members do not draw more than
$25, and of these Mr. Turner and
Mr. Black of Georgia are two.
Mr. Livingston draws the full
|1(K) each month, and his son does
his clerical work. It is all in the
family you see. Mr. Livingston,
nearly ull of the Republicans and
Populists, and a very few Demo¬
crats voted for his motion, but it
was rejected. The other Georgia
members voted nguinst it. It is
regarded as a sort of salary grab,
and Mr. Livingston is coming in
for a good deal of adverse criti¬
cism—which, no doubt, he richly
deserves.
THE REGISTRATION LAW.
For the benefit of tlioso unfa-
milliar with the new registration
law, we publish the following:
The tax collector is required to
open voters registration books
forty days before an election and
in these books each voter must
subscribe Ids name after swearing
to his qualifications as a voter.
When the tax collector closes his
books he turns the list over to the
board of registrars who shall re¬
vise and correct them and furnish
the list of qualified and disquali¬
fied voters to election managers.
On or before July 1st in each
year the ordinary, clerk of the
court and tax collector shall pre¬
pare and furnish to the registrars
a list of all disqualified voters liv¬
ing in the county—stating nature
of disability whether from idiocy,
non-payment of taxes or crime
against the laws of the state.
The judge of Superior court ap¬
points the three registrars from
the different political parties or
movements and tlie act contem¬
plates at all times a bi-partisan
board. The Judge has power at
any time to remove any registrar
and appoint a successor, but the
regular term of these officials is
for two years.
No person can vote in any elec¬
tion w hatever whose name is not
registered.
When polls are not open in any
precinct voters of such precinct
may vote at the county seat but
must make oath as to residence in
other district and that it is im¬
possible to vote there.
Any person who shall register

The Augusta Herald asserts
that Uncle Chandler Harris never
moved out of his room during the
cold snap. “He lay low and said
nothing. ”

The subject of taxing church
property is up in Atlanta, Dr.
Hawthorne is of the opinion that
church property should be
taxed just as that of all individu-
als is. I)r. Muishall does not a-
gree with him, and will argue
against his plans tor making
churches pay the regular tax im-
posed on all the other property.
Col. R. E. Park w riting to the
Southern Cultivator says: Cheer-
fulness was never so much needed
as now. Grave difficulties con-
front the farmers and their minds
and hearts are distressed and dis-
pondent. Times are not so hare as
in 1805 and our surroundings not
so gloomy. Let us have hope in
the future and find stimulus in op¬
portunities and depression and

There is still more to come from the
growth of of gra^ Georgia now pays au

make horses and mules. Georgia grass
ought to raise all the horses aud mules

pecially without trne, labor siuco the grass grows

need to be alarmed at the pros¬
pect.
If it were proper, I might discuss
many other industries of this kind that
the bureau will encourage and endeavor
to aid. One is sufficient for the pur-
pose.
It is enough simply to call attention
*°°« r wonderful possibilities in fruit
growing and truck farm ng. There is
no ( a t rau g f arl n j n Georgia that can-
not grow enough fruit, without any
special hindrance to the cotton crop, to

will always stand ready to furnish
liable information about these indus¬
tries. Fruit growing iu Georgia, like
grass culture, cannot be overdone.
KEEP OUR MONEY AT HOME.
Above all these plans aud others that
1 might discuss, if I could ask space,we
need to do southing to keep money in
the state. Think of it for a moment,
If a citizen of Georgia wants a cheese,
he must send to Wisconsin to buy it.
Georgia money goes to Wisconsin, and
there it stops and circulates in Wiscon-
sin, while the cheese comes to Georgia
and is consumed. If a Georgia farmer
wauts a mule he sends to Kentucky for
the mule. The mule comes to Georgia
but the monoy stays in Kentucky and
circulates in Kentucky. The farmer
puts the mule into the bands of a thrift¬
less tenant, who starves him in two
years, and then the Georgia farmer
sends more money to circulate in Ken¬
tucky for another mule. If a farmer
wauts a side of bacon his money goes
to Cincinnati and circulates in Ohio,
and the bacon comes to Georgia and i9
consumed.
Where is the difference to the people
of this state whether the government
issues $50 per capita or $10, if we send
all the Georgia per capita to other states
to sustain industries that we might
ourselves encourage, aud thereby keep
our money circulating humblest among ourselves.
Mors than that, the negro in
Georgia who wauts to buy a cotton
shirt, gathers his raw material, bales it,
ships it to Massachusetts, has it con¬
verted into cloth aud returned to him
at heavy cost—all this unnecessary ex¬
pense before a negro can get a shirt.
OUK rE, < capita money sent abro
Enumerate the countless things
people buy from abroad, and then
member the single crop they a row to
meet their purchases, and it is a matter
of wonder that we have heretofore met
these hard conditions. If wo had a
factory in Georgia to manufacture trace
culate in '^c^clwin Georgia. per It we capitawouldcir. had a factory
in Georgia to manufacture plow stocks,
plow stock per capita would circulate in
j Georgia. If we had a factory in Geor-
giatou3eourhardwoodsinthemanu-
facture of wagous. chairs, bedsteads.
carriages, buggies and road carts a
large amount of per capita would stay
and circulate in Georgia. If we havo
many great cotton factories to manu-
facture our raw material what vast
amounts of cotton per capita would ro-
main in this state for the business in*
terests of our PeoP le - Money goes and
money stays, aud money circulates only
wher e there are business interests to
demand aud control it. Though the
; R0Vernment might flood the country
tablish such business conditions as will
control it. Hereiu lies very much of
the wealth of the northern aud eastern
states, as well as the cause for the pov¬
erty of the people at the south and
west.
The money of this country is con¬
gested in the east. No action of the
government will ever bring it this way
ns long as the present industrial rela¬
tions remain.
The time has come when a change is
positively demanded. Cotton has been,
practically, our ouly resource for money
to make purchases. Its production now and
consumes all the money it brings,
