FRIDAY, OCTOBER. 3,
FAMILY FIGIIT.
Notwithstanding «lt that has
b«eu said ln.thebeat.of discussion,
the contest In this senatorial dis
trict has been nothing but a family
fight, There has been no Inde-
pendentism about it. It has been
simply a contest between Demo
crats as to whether, under the ro
tation system, a coun.ty had the
right to name the candidate in . its
turn or not. The voters hare de
cided that under that system the
county whose turn it is to furqisb
the candidate has the right
to name the man. That is
all there is of it, and there
it should end. Tbo district has
decided that under the rotation
rule the county whose turn it is to
lurnieh the candidate should name
the man, and that decision should
be acquiesced in by every Demo
crat in tbo district, it was a con
iroveray in the Democratic party
and now that this controversy is
settled we hope that all the ill
feeling engendered in the contest
will be settled down, and the D
mocratic party of the )3th senato
rial district will strike hands against
the common onemy of Republican'
ism and defeat it in every phase it
may present itself We should bo
sorry to think that Independent'
ism or Radicalism bad a majority
in this senatorial district, and we
donut think it has. We regard it
simply as a family light which will
we hope, the more firmly cemonl
the party against the combined
attacks of Radicalism and Inde-
pendentism.
YtMTERlUY’H ELECTION.
‘t he election yesterday, through'
out the state, as far as wc can
learn, wns very quiet and devoid
of any great excitement even in
oounties where thero were oppose
tion candidates for the Legislature.
Governor McDaniel has cause of
congratulation that be has the con
fidence of tbo people of the statu to
such an extent that he has made
two campaigns for Governor in
aucoession without opposition. We
cannot recall another similar in.
stance in the history of llie statu.
In fact, we do not know of a single
gubernatorial election, previous to
this one in which a Governor has
beon elected without opposition.
Governor Jenkins, wc think, was
elected without opposition, but he
was elected.for nn unexpired term,
and at a time when it was not
known whether we could elcot a
Governor or not. Governor Smith
was also elected for an unexpired
term without opposition. Gover
nor McDaniel waa not only elected
without opposition for an unex-
pired term, but bo lias been elected
without opposition to a full term
as bln own successor, and alter
hiving received the unanimous
nomination of his party. We
think he has been strongly endors
ed, and that he deserves it. For
the unexpired term he has made
a careful, painstaking Governor.
He has made no mistakes and has
givcu to the discharge of his otH
uial duties bis sound sense and
judgment in business matters, and
this accounts for hit great popular
ity with the iieople—Atlanta Con
stitution.
JUDGED, SOT POLITICIANS.
The following is the status of
The Atlanta Evening Journal, j the Southern States, all democratic,
whose editorials are usually point ; on the liquor question: -Maryland
ed and sensible, thus presents a j is largely prohibition mid era local
very important matter in a sensi-; option-lpw; West Virginia haa for-
b[e way: i ty-three prohibition counties out of
The next General Assembly,
which-will begin its session in No
vember, must elect judges for one
half the circuits in the State, and
we wish to emphasize the impor
tance of electing men whose ambi
tion it will be to discharge their
official duty rather than those who
harbor the purposeful using the
office ot judges as a stepping stone
to political elevation.
The last few yeare have furnish
ed some revelations of very cul
pable scheming and wire pulling
by gentlemen who were wearing
the ermine.
It has come to pass now that
the surest road to Congress lies
through the judgeship, since by a
convenient system of exchanges
ambitious judges can have the ad
vantage of holding court in every
county of his congressional dis
trict, and so make himself known
to the people, and by a sj stein of
electioneering whose flagrant vio
lation of all decency is limited
only by the intensity ol bis desire
for the office to secure a follow
ing.
A PUBLIC BENEFACTOR.
The last number of the Hawkins-
villc News contains a finely en
graved portrait of Mr. W. A. Jeter
of that city, together with a testi
monial to his worth and works
signed by tbe leading citizens of
the town. From this testimonial
wo learn that Mr. Jeter has within
the last few years built up and
established in Hawkinsville steam
grist mills, one of the largest brick
yards in the State, a cotton seed
oil mill, a large barrel factory, a
cotton compress, and built and
placed steamers on tbe Ocmulgee
Mr. Jeter has not done all this with
his own capital, but has been the
pioneer in and organizer of the
companies who have done it, and
it is to his public spirit and execu
tive ability that Hawkinsville owes
these and many other improv
ments. Such a man is a benefac
tor to the people among whom he
lives, and docs fur more for man
kind than the men who simply
amass and hoard their wealth. Wc
should tie glad to publish the (tor-
trait of the man who will do the
same work for Americus.
fifty-four counties; Georgia has

Tennessee has a law preventing tbe ]

STILL LEADS!
The refusal of the Superintend
ent of Public Schools in New York
to excuse Hebrew children on re-
ligious fesst and fast days is
an unreasonable discrimination
against a large, influential and lib
eral part of tbe community, and
the Hebrews of that city are filled
with just indignation. The im
portance of the matter may be im
agined when it ia known that there
are about 40,000 Hebrew children
in tbe public schools or New York.
Tbe northern wholesale dealers
state that tbe buyers from the
South have to a considerable ex
tent preferred to come on after
their goods lu person rather than
boy on orders, and in this respect
have for this season returned to tbe
old mar.n -r of doing business.
Hurrah for Murray—he is tbo
Ql candidate.
SENSIBLE WORDS.
Tbe Savannah News says: “If
it were possible to pass and on-
force it, it might be the best thing
in the world that could be done
for the cotton planter, would be
tbo re-enactment of the war meas
ure which prohibited the planting
of ovor three acres of cotton to
tbe mule. If that law could be
mado perpetual, what an improve
ment would be seen in cotton
plantingl Instead of raising one
bate of cotton on threo acres of
land, it would not be long before
three, four, six, and perhaps nine
bales would be produced on tho
same area. No doubt that within
a very few years the average
amount produced per mule would
bo greater than it is now. The in'
tensive system of farming, so fa'
as tbe South is concerned, would
then spring into favor all over the
South. It is not likely that any
Country will be able to compete
with the Southern States in the
production ol cotton for many
years to come, but with tbo exten
sion of tbe cotton territory west
ward, the increased supply will
most probably exceed the needs ot
manufacturers even in unfavorable
years.”
Gen. Grant ia hard at work on
bia book, for which be is to receive
$50,000 when it is completed.
Thus be will not bare to wait for
royalty or commissions on sales.
It is expected that tbe work will
be completed by next spring.
Grant appears to have given up all
hope of ever being Emperor or
Dictator of tbit country. He ia
now practically out of politics, and
does not seem to be very enthusi
astic ior that eminent half-breed,
tbe “plumed knight.”
Now that the senatorial canvas*
is ever, let us ail unite in support
•f Cleveland and Crisp.
We invite everybody and the public gen-
bam* have very stringent iiquorj orally to call at our shop and examine our
immense stock of First-Class Finished Single
and Double Seat Buggies and One Horse
Wagons, of all styles and sizes. All of which
are of our own manufacture, and will be sold
as cheap as it is possible to sell such work in
any market. In reference to our Single and
Double Seat Dexter Buggies, we will say we
were the first to intioduce them in this coun
try 7 , and have from the beginning up to the
present time constantly improved them, and
we believe we now have them perfect. We
keep on hand all the while finished from 15 to
25 of these Buggies, with first-class Harness to
each buggy, and can sell you a Buggy and
Harness as cheap as anybody. All we ask is
to give us a trial.
A word now (o those who have old bug
gies and wagons and desire to have them re
paired or made new: We will give you more
work, and a better job, for less money than
any other shop in Americus. Try us and be
convinced.

JUDGE CBISP AT HAWKINSVILLE
Tbe Hawkinsvillo Nows, in
speaking of the speech of Judge
Crisp at that place, sayi
Judge C. F. Crisp for an hour or
more kept the audience enchained
with bis plain explanation of the
tariff and its effects upon the coun
try, and his logical and eloquent
presentations of the doctrines of
Democracy. His explanation of
the tariff question was decidedly
tbe clearest and simplest that wc
have ever listened to, and we would
have been glad if all of our iiieh
tariff friends could have heard him.
Judge Crisp was frequently inter-
rnpied in his remarks by hearty
applause.
Like Barnum and Forepaugh,
the Republican managers are per
sistently advertising their so-called
sacred elephant, although the white-
wqsh on him has utterly failed to
stioh.
