not have a primary for city offl

Now that the Senatorial election
is over, it is amusing to notice how
many of the papers which at first
opposed him, are strong Gordon
organs. They were converted at
the eleventh hour.
When the papers get though tell
ing what they know about the A1
lianco doings in Atlanta the laBt
three weeks, it will he found that
it was ail published Wednesday
morning—they elected Gordon.
arrhe darkey was in town in all his
glory yesterday, but he wasn
much of a factor in the election
His days of usefulness in county
elections In Bumlor are over, and
as a consequence the candidates are
not bled to death.
In the next two years some very
important measures will have to bo
inaugurated by our city council
and none but first-class men should
be put In office. The Recorder
-contends that with a primary men
can be found who, otherwise,
would not think of having their
names used. Voter, think of this
just a moment!
THE CITY ELECTION.
In less tliau a month Americus
will elect a Mayor and three Alder
men, and they should be gentlemen
of undoubted ability aud integrity.
. Bo far tliero has not a candidate
been announced, though several
-have been suggested through The
iRecohder.
For several years there has been
a strong sentiment In favor of hav
ing the various candidates submit
their claims to a Democratic or
Teople’* primary, lu order to avoid
the great expenditure necessary If
the race is made open to all. What
causea that expenditure Is well
known to our readers, aud ueeds no
elaboration in these columns. [Bov
cral of the coutests made in former
years have so completely disgusted
our people that many of thorn will
have nothing to do with a city ele<-.
tion—and to our personal knowl
edge heavy proporty owners have
refused to register and vote.
The Recorder lias always been
in favor of nominating our city offi
cers by a primary,or any other way
that will aecure full liberty of
choice to the white people. As at
present conducted negro politicians
bleed any jaml every candidate at
election time, aud hold a club over
the beads of prospective candidates
between elections. This is a fact,
and well kuowu. Several years
ago, and repeatedly since then,
TnE Recorder lias endeavored to
have the primary plan adopted, but
the old influence was too strong.
Is not the time ripe for It now?
LITERARY NOTES.
...Captain Chas. King, U. 8. A.,
contributes tbe complete novel to
the December number of Lippin-
cott’s Magaxine. It. is entitled -‘An
Army Portia,” and is characterized
by that dash and breezy style which
make all of Captain King’s stories
such entertaining reading. Several
of tbe character* of one of the au
thor’s former successful uovels,
“Two Soldiers." make their reap
pearance In this new etory. The
"Army Portia” Is a charming
yonng girl who rescues her lover
from the tolls of a designing villian,
and, by showing that certain evi
dence was manufactured, clears
hltu before a court-martial when
everything points to his speedy
conviction. The manner In which
the public pres* is apt to malign
army officers without sufficient in-
* vMtlgation into the charges pre
ferred is brought out lo startling
colors. The "Army Portia” la one
of the very strongest stories that
it* proliflo author has yet written,
I bid* fair to be one of the sac-
■ of the season.
' Leesburg, Nov. 21.—All quiet
in our town this week, except as to
the Gordon craze. The most of us
have shouted ourselves hoarse for
the Old Warrior.
The money panto ha* struok us
dow r n hero with Ite foil force, find
ing some of us In debt, and with
but little prospects of being any bet
ter soon. This, however, will soon
pass over, or at leaBt we hope so.
The Executive Committee of this
county met a few da/a ago to dis
cus* tbe propriety of a primary
The result is they have decided to
have none, aud give those eo in
cllued to run against the field, and
there a good number of them, and
Cuff is having a plonlo, you bet.
The colored people met at the
court house a few days ago Jnnoml
nation and put out the following
ticket:
Jas. Morgan forClerk ;E. B. Martin,
Sberlfl; John M. Hines, Tax Col
lector; Frank Mims, Tax Receiver;
James Lee Roy, Coroner; all white
except the last named. They have
found oat that there Is great dissat
isfaction at the result of that day’s
proceedings, so they must
meet again to-day, deter
mined to nominate every white
man to any office he wauts. They
declare that they put In to give en
tire satisfaction and that they are
going to do it. We hope they will,
for there is nothing we liko better.
Rev. Charley I’ayue, going home
from church hero the other night,
hia mule got frightened at some
thing and threw him from the
buggy and hurt him very badly, if
not seriously. A dispatch from
Montgomery, Ala., tells us that our
genial friend and fellow townsman
is there quite sick. This is a sad
hearing for >>is friends here.
A social gathering at Mr. G. A.
Deavnur’s to-night Is now on the
brain, and a most enjoyable time Is
in contemplation. Bo 1 must c -me
to n close aud brace myself up for
the occasion. Fogie.
THE LOT BOUGHT
Tor the Maxonlo Temple—Work Will
Be Commenced; Boon.
The Masons yesterday closed the
trade for their lot.
It I* situated on Cotton Avenue,
opposite the Allen House and near
the liable of Prince Bros,
The price paid was $4,000, about
half its value, thla small sum being
asked for good and eufflcIeDt rea
sons.
Now that they have their lot, the
Masons will soon begin, work on
their magnificent temple. It Is to
be one of the handsomest and best
furnished in the State, and will be
an honor both to the order and our
city. The main features of the
building have already been men
tioned through these columns, and
It Is not necessary to go over them.
Suffice |It to say that no city of our
size, or twice our size will have a
better home ' for the Masonio
brethren.
The order Is In a most flourishing
state In Americus, and no better
organization of men can be found.
The Recorder congratulates them
on the early building of such a
home as (heirs is to be.
Insuranco Against Disease.
In certain Instances there have
been arrangements made between
a physician and the head of a fain
lly that n fixed amount ehould ho
paid for each day the various mem
bers of the family couiinuedln good
health. But should sickness enter
the household, tbe physician’s
usual stipend was discontinued.
Such an agreement Is founded on
common sense, for we don’t want
to be made well, we want to be kept
well. There is a great deal of un
necessary sickness resulting from a
want of careful attention to bodily
requirement*. Keep the blood
pure, keep the functional habits of
the body regular, counteract the
effects of exposure by always hav
ing a bottle of Dr. John Bull’s Sar
saparilla in the household and
using It In anticipation of on attack
of illness or wheu the very first
symptoms arc manifest. Disease
will not troublo you if you will heed
this good advice. It is an excel
lent preventive of disease and de
cay, as well as a safe cure.—Marion
Banner.
ltlght You Are.
The Macon County Citizen con
tains the following:
There is more substantial Im
provement going on lu the city of
Americus, to-day, than auy other
town of Its size in the State. Every
here you go, is the sound of the
hammer, saw, and trowel. Every
body there seems to have business,
aud is "on tbe move.” A visiting
gentleman remarked within our
hearing, that It reminded him of
Atlanta more than any other town
lie kuew. It Is fairly entitled to
the soubriquet, “tileQueen City of
South West Georgia.
Owlug to exposure I have been
Indisposed with acute rheumatism
about six months. My skill failed
afford mo relief and I was In
duced to try Bull’s Sarsaparilla,
and must confess that It entirely
cured me. It Is decidedly superior
all other preparations of Sarsa
parilla.—B. B. Allen, M. D„ Bran
don, Ky.
Au Enjoyablo Serenade.
Messrs. French & Co.’s circus
band gave a serenade at the Arte
sian corner last evening, which was
listened to with pleasure by a large
cro»d. Messrs. Butler A Berry in
vited them in and passed around
cigars. Then they rendered the fa-
millisr Annie Rooney and went
tbeir way back to thete nt.
To the Ladies.
There are thousands of ladles
throughout the country whose sys
tems are poisoned, and whoso blood

absorption of impure matter, due
to menstrual Irregularities. This
class are peculiarly benefited by the
wonderful tonle and blood-cleaning
properties of Prickly Asb, Poke

Why Boys Leave the Term.
From the Southern Cultivator.
Some little time since, In au ar
ticle In the Cultivator, I discussed
and advocated the policy of having
boys take for permanent vocations,
ODly such business as their tastes,
and adaptation determined for
them. I am positive in the belief
that most of the failures in life are
based upon |an injudicious selec
tion ot the business pursued.
Mauy circumstances operate to
cause mistakes in the choice, and
therefore it beoomes us to remove
all possible hindrances from a fair,
open, and unbiased decision, in the
matter that is lo determine tbe life
long business of the boys we put
upon tbe world to win asupport.
Whilst It is true that every bus!
ness should be considered under the
drawbacks necessarily connected
with it, it is also untrue that auy
busiuess should be discarded be
cause of hindrances that are not
essentially a part of its evil.
For instance, if any Intelligent,
ambitious boy is allowed to believe,
either by individual testimony, or
general results, that farmiug gives
no promise for accumulation and
wealth, whatever may be his tastes
or his Inclinations, it will not be an
easy matter to Induce him to stay
upon tbe farm. Demonstrate ei
ther by personal results, or Illus
trated examples tbatthere is money
in farming, and he will consider
the question as a business.
Again, because of Inconvenience
of arrangements, thero Is a deal of
drudgery on a farm. Mnoh of this
can bo avoided. Tlieso incon
veniences pnt the business at n dis
advantage in the mind of a farmer’s
boy, who, sweating under unneces
sary loads, determines in his heart
that he will not choose auy such
pursuit for a lifetime service ot
burden bearing. Make work easy
in tbe use of every possible con
venience of arrangement abouttbe
barns, and in tbe fields, so that
every effort expended brings a re
turn, and the beys will then seejtlie
business with many of its objec
tionable hindrances removed.
Farming, os generally pursued,
is made very objectionable because
do not properly pre
pare for it. Possibly a greater ob
jection still Is found In allowing no
dividends from the business to
come to the boys. A long service
without personal results, is weary
ing to the flesh, and disgusting to
the tastes. It wilt not do to tell
the boy that he is being fed and
clothed, and possibly educated
somewhat To his mind this would
seem to follow as a matter of duty,
and not so much a matter of ser
vice. Besides, we do not want the
service of our boys as machine
work. We want some spirit, and
ambition lu the matter. To get it,
we must divide spoils.
Properly managed, any farmer
will make money by offering some
inducements to his boys to labor,
To a little fellow, turn’over the
chickens to his care, and give him
part of the profits; to a larger boy,
give a piece of ground for a patch
of bis own, with the absolute con
trol of all Us proceeds. To the
young man, glvo a share In your
business, aud all along let him feel
that he Is receiving a reward for
hi* labors, and tho home will be
come more attractive, tbe business
more remunerative, and the pur
suit in life judiciously determined.

MAYOR HEMPHILL
Another Constitution Kan Honored
With An Office.
Special to Racoaon.
Atlanta, Nov. 21.—The primary
eleotion was held to-day
Mayor, Aldermen and Council
men.
There were three candidates for
Mayor:
Hon. W. A. Hemphill, the busi
ness manager of tbe Constitution.
Anton Kontz, an Alderman
born here."
Walter R. Brown, a popular
young lawyer, who ran against
Tom Qlenn and was beaten two
years ago.
Mr. Hemphill’s election was re
garded by his friends as a foregone
conclusion. It was a hard matter
to get money put up against him
this morning, and this afternoon
his election was generally conceded
some even betting that he will get
as many votes as the other two
combined.
There are two distlnot tiokets for
Aldermen, Frank P. Rice and A
J. Shropshire on one, kndex-Mayor
Tyler Cooper and P. J. Moran on
the other.
There are six Councllmen to bo
elected; and three-tlinos-sir caudi
dates.
White republicans, db well
white democrats, voted.
The recent shipment of 700 tons
of Virginia coal to England has at
tracted attention to the rapid de
velopmont of the coal fields of that
State. It is claimed that the mines
from which the receut shipment
was made to Englaud contain the
best bltamiDous coal in America.
It Is said that the cargo shipped to
England was ordered by the Ad'
miralty for experimental ubc.
The region from which it is taken
Is very rich in coal deposits, only
small portion of which have aa yet
been opened. The increase in tbe
coal traffic over the Norfolk
Western railroad, tho line over
which this English order was car
ried to tile seaboard, lias been re
inarkabio. In 1S62 it amounted to
only 4,726 tons. It lias grown rap
idly since then, aud last year over
1,600,000 tons of coal were trans
ported by this line.

Perry Home Journal: Several
years may elapse before there are
many stock farms in Houston
county, but the tiuio Is surely com
ing when they will be plentiful and
profitable. We know of several
land owners who will devote tlie
greater portion of their iiersoual at
tention to stock raising, having de
monstrated to their entire satisfac
tion that “then's money in it.”
We hope to see the day when the
needs of Houston for liorsss, mules,
