Americus Recorder. W. Ei «LHMKU. Kdltor. OBelal Organ of Webster Const?. THURSDAY. OCT. 9, ISM. How terribly shocking is the an nouncement that- Mrs. Bolva Lock- wood is as bald headed as a bass dram. An artesian well with a fine flow of witter baa been secured at Jack sonville, Florida, at a depth of 350 feet. Some of tbe Tennessee Republi can* pretend to think that they will carry tbe State, bnt Democrat ic offers to bet that Bate’s majority will be over 16,000 go begging. Tbe sportsmen ssy, “Money talks.” Out of twenty-four papers pub lished in New York city, Cleve' land bas tbe support of eighteen Blaine three, Butler two, St. John one. Tbe Democratic papers throughout the State of New York are solid for Cleveland. Hardly have the leaves begun to tum, and there is scarcely chill enough in the sir to breed a dream of winter, and yet the southern pilgrimage bas begun, tbe steamers from Boston and New York having large paesenger lists. What a restless people we arc, to be sure. To show the value of grass pas tured and made into hay, it is stat ed that-'tbe grass crop of Colorado will hi worth thirty millions of dollars this year. The South spends millions of dollars among the cotton that is sold at no profit and frequently at actual.loss, and pays- tbe northwest millions ol dollars for bay whioh we could just as well raise ourselves and save its cost A woman in Albany, N. Y., when- tbo Marshal of the City Court went to her house to serve a legal notice on her, threw him headlong down the steps and broke bis- neck. The account of the af fair somewhat superfluously adds that be died. If he hadn’t died it is altogether likely that she would havo done something violent to him, Tbe next offleerwho goes to mnkWacall on her should employ a Texas cow-boy with a lasso. Tbe Columbia Sentinel cohoes tbe sentimont whioh has so ofton been expressed in these columns, and, what'is better, has been illus trated in them: “Wo doubt vory seriously.the propriety of arraying in publio print, as it is generally done, tbe aecount of suoli dark crimes as are now daily coming be fore- the readers of some of our leading journals. It has an im moral tendency, and is certainly productive of no good; but on the otbcV hand tends, like dime novels, to exert an immoral influence on ths Mind of the young.” TOO MVVtt GROUND. The tendenoy to smaller farms is beginning in the South. “There bas been a very remarkable in crease;” says tbe Charleston News, “In the number of smalt farms in tbo South sinco the war. in Soutli Carolina there are live small farms noW where there was one twenty years ago.. The number of small farmers is increasing every year.” All of which is a hopeful indica tion. Iu .Ncw England a 50-acre farm may perhaps be called as large as the average, lu the South, says the News, the tenden cy is to out up tho great cotton plantation into farms of 100 or 200 sores. In South Carolina the av erage sixe of tbe farms In 1860 was 488 acres; in 1810, 233 acres, and in 1880, 143 aeres, while there are hundreds of small farmers who do not cultivate more than from 20 to 50 acres. Everywhere we see tbo evil to (amen of tYying to carry on too large farms. If the book entitled “Ten Acres Enough” did not prove that claim, it at lean presented fusts that remain unanswered. As oar Charleston contemporary well says, it Is a waste of labor to at tempt tbe cultivation ot more gtuimd than can- be tilled thor oughly. It U better to' raise 60 bushels of com on one aero than J# bushels each on two aete*. GEORGIA VOLUNTEERS. The volunteer military com panies of Georgia are moving for State recognition and proper sup port and equipment nnder tbe con-i Btitation. They ought to have it, for tbe very good reason that they deserve it. Upon the same princi pal that a city should-support and equip its fire organizations, ought tbe State to support and equip its volunteer companies. They are not mere local organizations, for they are liable to duty at anytime, in any portion of the State, under call of the. Governor. There is nothing so conducive to jlublic peace as a well equipped volunteer force. Row the Germans Stand. Nxw Yobk, Sept. 29.—Tfie Academy of Music was crowded to-night with Germans who came in obedience to a call for a mass meeting of German Democrats. Gen. Franz Sigel called the meet ing to order and introduced Os wald Ottendorfer of tbo Staats Zeitung as Chairman. The prin cipal speeches of the evening wore made by Mr. Ottendorlor, cx-Gov. Solomon and Joseph Pulitzer of the World. Mr. Pulitzer's speech was largely devoted to an arraign ment ol Mr. Blaine as a represen tative of the Maine prohibitionists. The following resolution was odopted: Whereas, The- nominations of Cleveland and Hendricks give promise of real reforms; therefore, be it Besolved, That we sec in these candidates men whom the nation can well place at the side of our best Presidents and Vice Prcsi dents, and that we have the great est confidence that on Nov. 4 next the Gcrman-Ameiican citizens of the United Stales with unparal leled unanimity will declare them selves tor Cleveland and Hen dricks. The following telegram Irom Gov. Cleveland was read by the Secretary: ] regret that 1 am not able to attend the meeting to-night. I hope it will be ns successful as its most enthusiastic promoters can desire. G hover Cleveland. Mayor Edson also sent his re grets. Before tho meeting ad journed Carl Scburz appeared on the platform, and was received with great applause. Ho made a few remarks, closing by saying that James G. Blaine could never become Presi dent of the United States ns long ub his record remained as black as it was now. An overflow meeting was hold in Irving Hall, and was addressed bv cx-Sonntor Koch, Augustus kleinnn and Charles Wolke. POWDER Absolutely Pure. T is powder nevpr varies.
