Americus Recorder. W. I., alSIMKR, Miter. OSetal Orpin of Webster Cnantf. TUESDAY, SEPT, S3. MS4. The gas companies ot Ohio bare combined and forocd a pool. Competition reduced dividends to 90 per cent. Millsomething bad to be done to protect their laborers. Candidate St. John tackles John Barley cord' on bis native heath this week. He will begin at Louis- vitle and make a'rapid and perhaps brilliant daah through Kentucky. The other day a hundred men who were laying pipes on a street in New York for the Steam Heat ing Company sat down on the curbstone to eat dinner, when a wealthy and benevolent looking lady walked down the line and gave each man a dollar bill. Is it poesiple that Mrs. Lockwood has tapped her bar’l already. Qen. Butler's olaim to be the only original B. F. Butler is con' tested. It has been discovered that there was another Benjamin K. Butler years ago. He was a law partner of Martin Van Buren an officeholder, and joined Samuel J. Tilden and others in boiling the Democratic ticket in 1848. Rev. W. Watkins llicks, who iB well known in connection with preaching and politics throughout Georgia and Florida, has resigned' tho pastorato of the congregation of the Tabernacle in Washington oity. He returns to Florida for a period to look after material inter' ests, and to seek a restoration of health. Ex-Senator Tabor is now be wailing the decline of honor in the Republican party. He is said to have bought and paid for enough delegates to givo him the nomina lion for Governor ol' Colorado, but his men pooketed his money and vote! for the other man. If there is no longer any such thing as honor among thieves, politician Tabor is indeed in a had flx. According to tho St. Louis He publican, a patent bus been secured for a chemical process for cleaning the lint from cotton seed, and a syndicate representing a working capital of $6,000,000 has been formed to apply it in the mills of crushers in Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee and other states. Already cotton seed oil vies with olive oil for many pur poses, bat the oil made of seed cleaned by tho process hero men tioned will, it is thought, compete successfully witli the tost reflned olive oil in the market. A Georgia correspondent of the Country Gentleman says that on a capital of $3,000 a man can rent a Bermuda grass farm, stock it with fifty cows, fifty hens, eight brood sows, eto., and easily make a net profit of $1,350 the first year telling batter, chickens, eto., and nearly $2,000 each subsequent year. Detailed figures are given wbloh are very good, but there are a great many people who will not have much faith in these figures until they see them proved iu act ual practice. A Washington correspondent of the Boston Tlcrald says a het has licen made in that city of $400 a side on the result of the election in November in eight States, or $50 on each Slate. The Stato of New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Neva da and Michigan. If fenr of these States should go Republican and four Democratic, then it will he a stand-off. If five should go lor Cleveland, then the Democrat would win $250, and so on, the wager being $50 on each State. The biggest money yet offered for betting is said to have been put up by awealthy resident of Wisconsin. It is reported that he has sent $25,000 to a noted Chicago sport ing man to be wagered on the elec tion of Cleveland. In fiict the bet- ting generally, wherever reported, appears to l>e largely on the suc cess of the Democrats.

Baltimore, September 19.—The Baltimore Manufacturer’s Record published to-day special reports from all parts ol’ the South ns to the prospect for the fall and winter business, showing that the outlook is favorable for active trade. The cotton crop will lie less than was expected a month ago, owing to drought, but it is largely counter balanced by larger crops of corn, wheat and fruits than for some years. Owing to the enlarged pro duction of food Btnff, the people will not have to purchase so large ly of wheat, corn, and provisions from the West as heretolore. The difference in this, ns compared with last year, is fully $50,000,000. The into stringency in money, ac cording to many of those reports, preveuted planters from borrowing ns freely ns U9ual in the spring and force them to oloso economy, so that the cotton crop has been raised at much lower cost than in other years, and planters are less in debt limn at the corresponding time last year. In manufacturing and mining enterprises rapid pro gross is being made. Can this be Trne. Lumpkin Independent, There are somo ugly reports out in regard to the losses in weight on cotton now boing sold in tho markets accessible to Stewart county and unless there is a radi cal change in this respeot thcro will bo a decided falling off in receipts at ono or two places and the cotton buyers and warehouse men will bo responsible for It. We know that the honest dealers in Columbus and Eufaula do not counstennnce down-right robbery and as one case in particular comes under this head we feel it our duty to put Stewart county planters upon their guard and at tho same tiino let the cotton men know that such transactions are damaging their towns and proba bly tho evil will be correoted. As the report reaches us a farmer, nearly blind, sold two bales of cotton in Columbus and when it was woigbod at the warehouse found tbut thore was a loss of seventy-five pounds. He refused to submit to this and was forced to pay $1.60 for having It weighed before being allowed to take it to another warehouse. Here he found that bis cotton only lost four pounds. When men conspire to rob a blind man it is timo to be- ;tu an investigation, and as the arger cities have boards of trade and other facilities for detecting unfair dealings 1. is a duty that they owe tbemselvea to see to it that a farmer is protected from thieves and sharks when they car ry their produce to market. The only safety that a farmer has is to select a warehouse of undoubted honesty and avoid the cotton shar pers as he would the asiatic cholera. Ohln’a 28.Year Record. Cincinnati Timet Star <Ucp.). Ohio has been variable in State elections. In Presidential years, however, Ohio has steadily re mained Republican since 1856. Franklin Pierce, who received the twerty-three Buckeye electoral votes thirty-two years ago, was the last Democrat to carry the State. Years mud the A POSITIVE NOVELTY. PREPARE FOR A SURPRISE!
