Secretary Alger »ttys that he will not
res’gn, si* hii candidacy for the senate
does not interfere «iib his cabinet po
sition. But who ever intimated such
a thing? Secretary Alger has used bis
cabinet position from the first in play
ing the game of politics, and he will
find more need for it now than ever
Louisville Courier-Journal.
she Chattitnooga News makes this
observation: “Georgia seems to be
trying to outdo the Carolinas in estab
lishing laclories Not a day passes of
late that the loc .1 capitalists of some
entail town io ulir sister state do not
get together and sub-cribc stock for a
new industrial enterprise on a largo
scale.”
Griffin is ono of the b st and most
enterprising cities in tin state. Her
growth during the lust few jears ha
heen 1 eifi ijr k able It is all due to the
spirit of her business men who appre
ciate ar opportunity for development
and grasp it without, hesitation. \\ ith
in n very short period this city has
invested more than a quarter of a mill
ion dollars in cotton mills Ibis is in
addition to her nln ady large and pros
perous mill interests. — 1 homsslon

The Birmingham News says. “Rob

of aggression against the rest of the

claims to be older than the other, and
to contain the bluer blood. The New

prevent the other branch from using
the name, “Colonial Dames,” alleging
priority of ownership ; hence the im

We have heard of corners on meat,
but the idea of cornering cattle on the
hoof out on tfie western ranches is
rather a novel one, says the Columbus
Enquirer Thia plan ranks with the
one to secure control of all of the rice
lands in the Carolinas, and b >th are
in the nature of trusts, and bode no
good to the public. As the story goes,
an English lias a capital of
one hundred million dollars to corner
the cattle on the hoof out weal, par
ticularly in Texas. This is in the na
ture of a dare to the governor of that
state, who is leading the fight against
trusts to bn inaugurated by the anti
trust convention. It is really carrying
the fight into the enemy’s country,
and it remains to be seen what Gov
ernor Sayre will do about it.

The statement blurted out by Mr.
Uavetneyer that the tariff is the moth
er of all trusts —of course, excepting
the sugar trust —seems to have bit
some persons in Pennsylvania very
hard Every time the tariff baa been
up for revision certain great “captions
of industry” have opened sumptuous
apartments in Washington and main
tained expensive “lobbies” to secure
the highest possible tax upon foreign
products which otherwise might be
imported to compete with their own.
Thia is well known to the Americin
people, and they have also observed
that when the foreign goods had been
thus excluded these identical “captions
of industry” were foremost in organ
izing these combinations to stifle com
petition and pul prices to the highest
possible notch. —New York Herald.

worst form. I was much reduced
in flesh and strength and unable

better. Three boxes effected a
cure that has been permanent.

weighed 136 pounds ; now I weigh

good than all the other medicines
I have ever taken.

LAND POOR.
A Scheme to Give Every Man a
Farm, by a Person Who is
Land Poor.
Mr. Editor : Some years ago I took an
idea that land was the safest investment
that a man could make in Georgia, and as
a consequence, I am now land poor; have
more than I can profitably make use of,
and consequently want to get rid of some,
or all of it, and I have decided to adopt
the following measure to get rid of it:
I will say, in the first place, that the
laud is the best in Monroe county, i» fine
ly watered, and is adapted to raising cat
tle, sheep and hogs, and is the best for
cotton, corn, wheat, oats and other grains
in the county. There are a number of
tenant houses on ti£ place, and a home
recently built that cost me over $3,000 to
build. The land, in the first place, cost
me from $25 down to $4 per acre—saying
altogether, about $lO per acre, without
improvements; and to get rid of it, I will
average the whole place at $lO per acre,
in the following way : I will have the
entire place, 1,600 acres, sub-divided into
50-acre
than 50 acres td one party, if desired, and
less than 50 to another, according to his
ability to pay for it, as the case may be,
the entire quantity to be drawn for.
In other words, the number of lots and
quantity of land to be put in a hat or box,
and drawn out under approval of a com
sorne stated time,
so that all shall have a fair chance to get a
home at a low price, and no one has a
change of losing their m >ney, or failing to
get their value, as paid, and some get a
farm at far less than cost.
The,land is 12 miles from Macon, a city
of some 50,000 or 60,000 people, and is
adapted to market gardening^.and. Xor
northern people who know how to work,
it offers a fine opportunity for a colony of
energetic citizens.
It is all together, and would make a fine
settlement, having the best of pastures,
water, springs, creeks, etc. The land is
timbered with hickory, beach, oak and
pine, and some cedar; in fact, it is the best
place I know of, and I am satisfied the ed
itor of the Call will vouch for what 1
say.
I would be glad to have any parties who
mean business, to go over the plantation,
familiarize themselves with the advan
tages, and communicate with me at
Barnesville, before going into the matter,
assuring them that I mean what I say.
In addition to the terms offered above, I
have concluded to make the terms of pay
ment in four annual payments without
interest, which is tantamount to putting
the price of the land very low. The
titles to the land have been in the posses
sion of one or two parties for years, and
have never been questioned and are as
good as gold.
1 am not particularly wedded to this
plan of getting rid of my lands, but only
suggest the idea—any better plan would
be thankfully substituted.
