Americus Recorder. W. L. QIiBKKEH, Editor. OBelal Organ ot Wrtotar Cant;. 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 ninety counties where you can ] neither buy, sell nor steal whisky; j Tennessee has a law preventing tbe ] sale of liquor within (Our miles of' a school house; Arkansas has a| local option law under which liquorj selling is prohibited in mnuy conn- ties; Missouri has a stringent high j license law; Mississippi and Ala' 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. STATE ELECTION.
