0. Americus Recorder. \V. L, ULKIMEH, Kdltor. UBcUl Organ of WcbiterCaanty. TTIUHNDAY, gEPT,jjftA»M. The Macon Telegraph very truly remarks that the next Legislature will fail In its duty to the people if it fails to provide for the adver- tising of this State’s great attrac tions. if we must be crippled for want of an exhibit at New Orleans, there is no reason why the Stato should not be advertised ns is North Carolina, In the thickly, populated Slates of the North. The Studio' believes that, “as a purely practical matter, there are far too many street signs.” This Is absolute editorial levelheaded ness. The man who has goods for sale has only to state his bargains clearly in the columns of the daily paper, give his number and sfcieet, and the public will And him with out much trouble. A sign swing ing over the walk attracts but very few people. THE RAILROAD COMMISSION. Tile Railroad Commissioners having themselves recommended that the law be changed so as to allow an appeal from the decisions 1 of the Commissioners, end believ ing that the Commission has work ed an injury to I he interests of Americus by preventing competi tive roads from being built, we shall expect Senator Undson and Representatives Hawkins and Ad- derton to vote and uso their infill encc in securing such modifications of the law as will induce foreign capital to seek investment in rail road enterprises in Ocorgia and aid in developing our State. Wc believe our Senator and Represen tative! desire to work for the in terests of their consliluents, and will therefore aid in abolishing the Star Chamber Court of the Rail road Commission. THE LABOR PROBLEM. The writer in the last issue of the Recorder, signing himself “John,” has opened a big question in tackling the labor problem. The subject is it timely one, and it is entitled to the consideration of all. In tbese times of close profits, it behooves ns to look well into these. matters. It is evident that John leans to the wages system, being satisfied that the share system is the cause of our woes. Without discussing the relative merits of these two systems, which after all arc dependent upon the varied con ditions and circumstances of the individual farmer, wo would nsk is this *or that system of labor re sponsible for tho present state ol our farming interests? Should not capital also share In the blame? Is not tho management partly respon sible? I would not he understood as defending the “careless, Indo lent tenaut,” for as a matter of fact, at least ono half of the farming un der this system is as bad as cau be, but after all Is tho labor wholly to blame? The truth of the busi ness Is, John has made a mistake in hastily ascribiug the present de pressed condition of nflairs to what he considers a worthless labor sys tem. However, bad ns it is, John trust admit that In its pres- out condition more cotton, is raised than is needed by the world (or consumption, or at least more than can lie sold to much profit to the produce'. John is by uo means the only political economist who is puzzled over this grave question. Tho situation is 1 an anomalous one, and various j reasons are given as to the causes. The free trade people tell ns that protection is the hydra that is do- j "utau' ing the work; on the other hand, '*'** f “' the protectionist asserts that all this brainless agitation of the min- ous free trade policy has unsettled uniuoss and shaken our commerce to the core. Be all this as it may, with pro tection or without it, with wages labor or under the tenant system, we firmly believe that farming will pay In our section If Wc know all this is much easier to say than do, but we can point to numbers who are doing it eve ry day and who are happy and independ ent; V • x .x. An Importanl Suit. It has long been a custom for the Central Railroad to demand bills of lading from consignees be fore delivering freight com.ng from certain quarters. This custom often subjects merchants and oth- ers to inconvenience and delay, as ^CAPlTATs PRlZB«f»,OOI),JEl TirJtef ionly95.

The mat ter, we believe, was made a sub joct of complaint to the railroad commission to one ol our mer chants hut nothing came of it. A short time ago, Messrs Kaig- ler k Walker had a barrel ol vine gar shipped from some point in Kentucky. The vinegar came but no bill of lading. The. consignees called for the vinegar but the depot agent refused to deliver it without the bill of lading. They sued out a writ of detinue for its recovery, and the case came up for bearing lie (ore Esquire Joliti I). Watson on last Monday. After hearing, Justice Watson decided in favor ofplaintilf, holding Hint the regu lation under which the property was withheld from the consignees is not a reasonable one or one sus tained by Ian.
