mmmsmm Americus Recorder. W. t. OUMMRII, Mltor. OffleUI Orpw of Webster Countj. TUESDAY. WOT. 18. 1884. 1,078. The official canvass of the votes of New York gives Cleveland a plurality of 1,078. The New York Times thus cour teously refers to one of Its contem poraries: “The dissatisfied person who sits aloft in the Tall Tower and keeps tbo news out ot .the Tribune’s columns.” Persous desiring office under the Incoming administration need not take the trouble to apply Qov. Cleveland, as it is said that - he has ordered bis secretary burn all letters applying for office It was thoughtful of President Arthur to withhold bis proclama tlon for a day of thanksgiving until he was assured ol Cleveland eleotion. But there are same mem bers of his party who are not quite up to appreciation of such thought fulness. Joe Barstow, of Lancaster coun ty, Pa., who made a vow twenty four years ago that he would not shave Until a Democrat was elected President, has taken for granted that the question is settled, and barbor recently removed the beard which was nearly as long as him self. A GOOD F1UIIT. Mr. Blaine and bis national com mitteemen having conceded Clove land’s election, are now consoling themselves with the reflection that under all the circumstances they “made a good light.” Well, probably they did. Considering the lact that the Republican party went into the campaign under the leadership of a man whose official life is tattooed with corruption and jobbery, while the party record was smirched with the robberies of the Star Route ring, the Credit Mobilier scandal and a general plundering ot the publio treasury, to say nothing of the stealing of the Presidency, it is perhaps a little remarkable that the ticket got any votes at all. Considering the further fact, however, that they went into the uampaigu backed by all the official power and patronage of the gener al government with its hundred thousand office-holders to whoop up the enthusiasm, whilo money was. freely supplied by the thieves who had plundered the treasury and tho monopolists who had plun dered the people, with a large mass of the voters of tho country debauobed by years of bribery, it may bo doubted if tho fight was sucli a brilliant one after all. Considering tho manner in which tho fight was conducted and the character ot the men engaged in it, it la extremely doubtful if the light can be considered a good one in any sense of the word. If the fight ol tho Republicans was a good one, what cannot be said of tho fight of the Democrats, who went into the campaign baeked only by the honest pur pose of priaciplc and a desire to restore (o the country an honest administration of the government? They can indeed Hay wo have fought tho good light and the vic tory is ours. GEORGIA AS A TRUCK FARMER. It is not the exactly the time of year to comment an the truck farm ing industry, but the report of Dr. Powell, Superintendent of the Qeergia Lunatio Asylum, contains a document that reminds the pub lic that tho State of Georgia itself is quite a successful truck farmer through its representatives at Mil- ledgevillc. The document alluded to la the report of the gardener, Samuel A. Cook, Esq. The garden of tho asylum con sists of a little oyer seventy-five acres, and the statement of receipts and expenditures show that, unlike most public enterprises of the kind, it not only pays iu own way, but considerably over 100 per cent, profit besides. The expenses of the garden during the year were 12,043, ot which only $867.93 is charged to the labor account, while $260 Is charged to the rent of five molt* and two carta, and $60$ for fertilizers, including $200 worth of stable manure made on the place. The balance of the expense account consists of bills for seeds—about |200—and implements. The ac count does not include the salary of the gardener, hence it may be taken as a fair sample of a truck farm operated by the owner. The products of the farm, all consumed in the asylum, aggre gate, at a low valuation, $4,571.50, and the prices placed on many items appear to be much lower than the asylum would have had to pay for them had they been purchased from outside parties. Among the principal items are 484 bushels ot Irish potatoes at $1; 280 bushels radishes at 50 cents; 77 bushels English peas St $2; 204 bushels to matoes at $1; 900 bushels turnips at 50 cents, 2,800 heads cabbage at 8 cents, 105 bushels butter beans at $1, and 600 bushels sweet pota toes at 50 centB. To more fully appreciate the value of these figures as illustrating the possibilities of properly conduc ted truck farmiog in Ueo-gia, it must be taken into consideration that the soil of the gardens of the asylum is not only tliin and thirs ty, but also rooky, so as to render high cultivation very difficult, and that the present season has not been a favorable one for farming opera tions of any kind.

These manufacturers placed their faith on lively and profitable September trade, absolutely relying on it for funds to meet their maturing paper, which they had given for piece goods, but the trrde did not come, the continuous warm weather and no customers cooked their “goose,” and there was nothing left for them to do but to fail and turn their goods over to an Assignee.
