The Democrats of the Tenth dis¬
trict are not discouraged by the
Populist majority of 808 in the
State election, but point to tho tact
that Richmond county last Wednes¬
day was handicapped by the regis¬
tration law, and, in coauequeocu of
that fact, only polled 4,150 votes,
while there are over 13,000 voters in
the county. There will be no regis¬
tration of the votere for the Novem¬
ber election and the full vote of the
county will be cast and Mr. Black
will be given so great a majority
that it cannot ba overcome by the
Populist votes in the other coun¬
ties.
Nellis Bly asked Senator David
Bill if be bad ever been in love, and
the senator refused to talk. Now,
that won’t do; a man who has never
been in love can’t be elected to the
presidency of these Uoited Btutes.
If David Bennett has never been in
love he should hasten to get in that
condition.— [ Milledgeviilo Chronicle.
It seems to os more Mr. Hill’s mis¬
fortune than bis fault that he bae
never met the writer of the above,
and it should not be laid up ogeiust
him. Like the oak and the palm tree
they live a long ways apart; but it
may be that they will be broughtinto
contact if both get ioto a governor’s
office—and then we are quite sure
that one objection will be removed
to David B.’s election to the presi¬
dency.
UNTAXKD NOTES OF STATE
BANKS.
The Massachusetts Democrats
have this pretty souod plank in their
platform:
“Wereafflim our allegiance to the
great financial principles which guid¬
ed Jefferson, Jackson and Secretary
Walker. That it is the sole function
of the federal government in mone¬
tary value matters to provido a standard
of and to coin metallic money,
every dollar of which shall beofequul
intrinsic value; and that nothing but
this coined money shall be a legal
tender, and that tbe government
shall not carry on a banking busi
ness. We demand that the untaxed
note* ot State or national banks
shall be tbe only paper money and
tbat tbe government shall, with tbe
development of a banking system

BOUTliKHN RIVALRY IN TI1K
WK»r.
Tim Saw KokImii-I nowopapow.
eefji'i'inlly the Ho«t«u Globe, ora
commenting on fhe fact that the
,Sooth ia coming to the front nt» a
grain producing aeetion. In notic¬
ing that a heavy uliipnieut of corn
waa made the other day to Chicago
from Alabama, the Ulobe euja: “The
monopoly of the West even In the
moat favored linen of agriculture,
ia being Invaded by the new agri¬
cultural development of the Boutb.
Flooda of circulara have been ieaued
and paid pieea boomera are at work
in the Western cities, aaeerting the
superior advantages of the Boutb
for agriculture. It willevidently oot
belong befote tbe Boutb sill con¬
front tbe Weet as u formidableagra
rlao rival, just, as the West has long
coufronted New England.”
Commenting on this, the Bavan-
oab News does not think it too rosy
a view of tbe situation os far as tbe
South ia concerned. It is a fact that
the South is paying much more at¬
tention to food crops than she did a
few years ago, and she will pay still
greater attention to them if cotton
remains as low as 6 cents a pound.
Georgia has produced a great sur¬
plus of corn this year and there are
other Southern Slutes that have
more corn than they need for borne
consumption.
Only a small portion of the good
lands of tbe Booth is under cultlvt*:
tlon. It can be readily seen, there¬
fore, that H immigrants come to the
South in great numbers and open up
farms, the prediction of the Globe,
that tbe South may rival the Weet
in the production of grain, may
come true.
A splendid future is opening for
tbe South- The prospect that she
will become tbe great manufacturing
section of the country is even more
promising than that she will be¬
come the producer of a greater
amount of surplus grain.
There is one thing, however, tbut
tbe people of the South must not
lose eight of. It is that they must
oot let their State government fall
into fhe bauds of tbe Populists.
Capital and immigrants will not go
where the PoDuliet* control. Notice
what the Columbia State says on
tbe point. An editorial in an issue of
last week contains tbo following:
“We may as well face the fact that
South Carolina, notwithstanding the
prestige her cotton mills have already
attained and tbe superior attiac-
tions she offers in water powers, ex¬
perienced labor, eta., is at a disad¬
vantage, as compared to her sister
States of North Carolina and Geor¬
gia, when it comeB to drawing capi¬
tal from tbe North for investment in
new mills. Tbe idea prevails in New
Ragland, as recent advices show,
thut oa account of the Populistic
bias of our 8tate government, and
tbe hostility of the Tillaiao admin¬
istration toward corporations, it is
out safe to put money Into cotton
mills here. We have just lost the
fOOO,000 mill of tbe Massachusetts
corporation because of this belief;
and tbe lesson strikes home to us,
because in losing tbat we have lost
half a million of dollars of taxable
values and employment fora full
thousand of our people, as well as
the building of a new town and a
new home market for our cotton.”
Id order to have prosperity iu tbe
South we must have a controlling
sentiment in favor of Democratic
rule and sound money. Populism
must be kept down. It would stop
the wheels Of progress us it lias in
Kansas.
1 TWO MACON EDITORS.
Tbe Macon Telegraph has passed
into the hands of Editor A. A. Allen,
tbe chief editorial writer and one of
tbe best men id tbat position any¬
where. Clear, cooci-e and logical
and Dever losing tbe thread of his
thought or argument iu tbe longest
article, It is a pleasure to read alter
Editor Allen. We wish him all success
iu his broader field and hope it will
not take bira too much away from
tbe long table ia tbe buck room.
But we want to know what is to
become of Editor Price, he of the
various initials, ult of which we know
but could uever correctly place, un¬
der the oew management. We should
hate very much to lose Editor Price
from tbe journalism of Georgia by
aDy change, however good otherwise.
With wide and varied experience in
journalism and politics uud other
paths of life as well, he can dictate
the policy of a paper or a campaign
or write up u good local story with
equal ease and success. A whole-
souled, geuial gentleman and ever
pleasant associate, we wish him suc¬
cess wherever he may go—but we do
not want bim to go too lar.

The following patriotic utfernoco
of Senator David H. Hiiiieoominend'
ed to the ourueat attention of wrang¬
ling Georgia Democrats ns worthy
their serious consideration at this
junctor#:
"Fellow Democrats of llim Empire
State and tbe country, tho duty of

nor conflicting counsels, but it is

ors faithfully to serve.”
Hlft on Top.
In the whole history of the Ameri¬
can politics there is no incident so
dramatic as tbe nomination of David
B. Hill for governor of New York by
acclamation. There was a man
against whom tbe whole power of
the federal administration was di¬
rected; a man who, though senior
senator from New York and a Demo¬
crat, could not get a postmaster,
a gauger or a country district attor¬
ney appointed by this so called Dem¬
ocratic president. The forces of
mugwumpery an-t dilettante Democ¬
racy have been bitter in their at¬
tacks upon Hill. He has been brand¬
ed in diverse ways and lasbioos as a
traitor to Democracy, a wicked
spoilsman and a blasphemer of the
great Cleveland joss. Yet when the
Democracy of New York finds itself
confronted by almost certain defeat
in uuitea in one long, despairing cry
to David B. Hill to help it lest it
siDk.
Tbe Times is not wholly an admir¬
of Senator Hill but it points with
interest and admiration to this most
evidence of the high esteem
wbicb he is held by Democrats in
bis own State.—[Chicago Times.
