THE CHANGE OF SEASONS.
The heated campaign just ended
was only equalled by the ODe of
four years ago, when Gov. Gordon
was again a candidate. The
changes that have taken place In
that time are well worth noting.
Opposed to Gov. Gordon and fa
voring Mr. Bacon were the Augusta
Chronicle, Macon Telegraph, 8*'
vannah News, Albany News, Co.
lumbuB Enquirer-bun, Athens
Banner, Augusta News, and nearly
three-fourths of the weekly press.
Favoring GovrGordon was the At
lanta Constitution alone of the
more prominent dallies, and a few
weekly papers.
After four years behold tbo
change! Gov. Gordon had served
two terms as Governor, and was a
candidate for Senator. In favor of
Ills election to the Seuate we And
many of his old opponents—the
Augusta Chronicle, Macon Tolo.
graph, Savannah News, while the
Constitution changed the other
way, and while It did not at first
directly opposo Gordon, it did not
favor his canvass.
What caused these changes
Was it because the papers support
ing Gordon believed the interests
of the State would be best served
by Gordon, or were they gradually
forced to Gordon by their opposi
tion to iho new organization known
as the Farmers’Alliance? It will
be observed that every paper men
tioned fought what was known as
Alliance candidate, for Congress,
and were defeated In three out of
the five districts.
The old saw, “politics make
queer bed-fellows” was never bet
ter illustrated than In the late Sen
atorial campaign, when men who
had opposed Gordon all their lives,
and indeed, upto within a few days
of the election, rushed to Atlanta
to work for their old opponent,
oalled there by some Irresistible
power—no one knows what.
Tiie Recorder Is perfectly sat
isfied with Gordon’s election, as It
had no candidate—barring the
claims of its distinguished towns
man— but as wo look back over the
reoord of four years we are led to
the belief that it was the fear of a
now powor coming Into control
in Georgia that induced many old
and wary politicians to rush to tlio
aid of their old foe, more than an r
care they may have had as to tb >
best interests of the State.
WANTED-A PROPHET.
And now the Gordon organs—mu
content with the victory of their
chief—are calling loudly for the
resignation of Mr. Livingston from
the Presidency of the Alliance.
Already rumors are afloat that a
petition Is In circulation among the
Alliance supporters of Gordon in
the Legislature, calliDg for his
resignation.
Well, Tiie Recorder does not
believe Mr. Livingston will resign.
At least we would not if we were
In his place. Becaueo Mr. Living
ston failed to defeat Gordon Is no
reason that he will not make a
good Alliance president. If the
Alliance as a body asks for bis
resignation ho will be in duty
bound to tender it If It is a politi
cal prophet that the Alliauce wants
for a leader, it might easily supply
Itself from the score or more Gor
don organ editors who "told you
so” for once In their lives—but
wheu the next election comes, off
their heads would go, like Mr. Liv
ingston’s.
If the Alliance really want a non-
falllng political prophet for a leader
The Recorder can supply him—
he resides right here in Americus—
but be is not connected with The
Recorder.
MR. J. GOULD.
In the nursery, when children
ere to be scared Into obedience
they are told a harrowing tale of
how a big ugly bear comes along
and eats bad children up. In the
same way, only in a different man
ner, are the bulls and bears of Wall
street scared Into behaving them
selves. In the latter case, the name
of J. Gould is substituted for the
ugly bear.
Down In Georgia when the news
papers desire to accomplish certain
ends, the people are Informed that
Mr. J. Gould Is buying up this or
that railroad, and forthwith people
hold up their hands in horror, and
say, what a bad, wicked man
Gould Is.
If Mr. Gould does one-half the
terrible things reported against
him, It must be a happy belief for
him that there Is no hell. The
latest sensation sprung on Georgia
people 1b that Mr. Qonld has been
buying Richmond Terminal stock!
Just think of it? Buying stock In
a company which controls several
of Georgia’s leading railroads,
What a terrible thing. And yet a
few papers do not seem to bo scared
about the matter, and the Inman’s,
who control the Terminal Com
pany, profess to bo glad of it.
Mr. Gould has bought some 7,000
shares of this stock, out of a total
of 80,000. He owns a great system
of roads In the Southwest, but has
no outlet of his own to New York.
It is said by those posted, that his
buying Terminal stock means that
ho will turn over to the Terminal
roads the freight that is forwarded
from points on his roads to ilie
East, and In other ways inako traf
fic connections with the Terminal
roads—and that is why he has
bought Terminal stock, that be
might get some of the profits of the
carrying of these freights.
If this is true no one In Georgia
should be afraid of Mr. Gould own
ing such stock, for such aconnec
tiou has been hoped for for years
by the owners of the Georgia roads,
and the people who live in Georgia
seaports. It will mean great busl
neBs and profits tojbot!., and hurt
nobody.
Thus, In this case, the nightmare

Btewart County Primary.
Rtchlaml Gazette.
It is not often that you hear of
the members of an executive com
mittee disagreeing among them
selves about the time for consoli
dating the returns of an election,
but this was the case In regard to
our county primary which was held
last week.
Borne of the members claim that
Saturday last was the day for con
solidating the returns, while others
olalm that Thursday, the day fol
lowing the election, was the day,
and went ahead and consolidated
their returns, leaving out Richland
precinct and the 10th, which were
waiting until Saturday to consoli
date.
Dr. T. B. Miller, member of the
Democratic Executive Committee
for Rtchland district, carried up
the returns from this precinct on
Saturday, and contended that he
was right. After duo considera
tion, Judge Scott, chairman of the
Democratic Executive Committee,
appointed next Tuesday as the day
for consolidating tho votes. We
hope it will work out right, and
thus save all unpleasant personal
feeling which might arise from a
misunderstanding.
The only material change In the
result of the primary by throwing
out of these two precincts, would be
that Mr. M. D. Goode would have a
majority of the votes for Tax Re
ceiver, whereas In the full count
Mr. T. J. Orr has a majority. Be it
said to the praise of Mr. Goode,
however, that ho has asserted that
he would not accept the nomina
tion on these grounds, because he
knows that Mr. Orr received a ma
jority of the Democratic votes of
tho county.
Again, throwing out these pre
cincts would reduce Mr. J. T. Hol
der’s majority for sheriff something
like 78 or 100, hut still leave him a
good majority.
Tho iutereeta of the county would
have been In good hands, no matter
which of these candidates won in
the nomination, as they are honor
able and trustworthy men.
Owing to exposure I havo been
Indisposed with acuto rheumatism

The people of Sumter have caueo
to be proud of the first Democratic

in the race. The primary la the

From tho Atlanta Constitution.
The Veterans Home.
The legacy bequeathed to the old
soldiers by the lamented Henry W.
Grady.
Scarcely a man or womau In the
State can be found that does not
readily endorse the thrilling words
of that grand editorial, “Come
Home, Joe Stewart!”
Mr. Grady was reading the New
York papers and came aorosa a lit
tle Item that Mr. Stewart was in
New York olty soliciting contribu
tions for the establishment of a
home for Confederate veterans,
disabled, or grown old, and unable
to take eare of themselves.
On the spur of the moment he
wrote that editorial, whioh met
with a ' hearty response from all
parts of the country.
The lesult was that contributions
came in thick and fast, and before
his death Mr. Grady had the sweet
satisfaction of knowing that the
home was assured.
Yesterday the following bill was
introduced In the House of Repre
sentatlvea by Hou. A. S. Cutts, of
Sumter:
A bill to bo entitled an act to pro
vide for the acceptance by the State

Inaurance Against Diaeuo.
In certain Instances there have
been arrangements made between
a physician and the head of a fam
ily that a fixed amount should be
paid for each day the various mem
bers of the family continued In good
health. But should sickness enter
the household, the physiciau’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
requirements. Keep the blood
pure, keep the functional habits of
the body regular, counteract the
effects of exposure byp-lwayo hav
ing a bottle of Dr. John Bull’s Sar
saparilla in the household anil
using It In anticipation of un attack
of illness or when the very first
symptoms nre manifest. Disease
will not trouble 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
