feii0Tiir.il Seakcy is openly in the
race for the presidency of tlie state Al
liance. If the Ishmaelite had a vote it
would he cast for Ur. DeJarnette, of
Putnam.—Sparta Ishmaelite.
Col. W. E. II. Seaiicy, of driffin, is
squarely in the race for president of the
s ate Alliance. From all appearances
Boo. L. F. Livingston is also in the race.
As a matter of course the Clarion lias
nothing to do wirlt it, but we would like
to see a South Georgia man occupy the
position. We do dot feel called on to
judge Mr. Livingston, as his official acts
speak for him. Mr. Searcy is a personal
friend of the writer's, and we can say
that he is a good man, and in every way
worthy of any office in the gift of his
fellow Alliancotnen.—Camilla Clarion.
about correct; yet, unless the oensus
was glaringly incorrect, Albany has
gained 3,000 people In six months, an
increase of over HO per cent, in that
time. Everybody knows that the rela
tive proportions have not been changed
unfavorably to Americus since the cen
sus report, and If Albany has any just
grounds for adding 3,000 people to her
population, Amoricus has as good, if
not better.
Why didn’t Editor Turner get the
"latest returns" from Americus before
he instituted his comparison?
Tiie Timeh-Riu'okiibu suspects that
Editor Turner has been led to take a
most roseate view of the wonderful in
crease of Albany's population in the
last few months, beca use of the advent
of that bouncing boy in his own domicile.
In his exuberance of spirits, it is more
than likely that he added one round
thousand, if not two, or even three to
the “latest returns" as reported to the
atlas maker by him, for which lie will
no doubt be held excusable under the
circumstances of domestic hilarity with
which he was just about that time over
whelmed.
The deadly ravages of the grippe in
Mew York city may be judged of by the
enormous array of death notices in Sun
day’s Herald. This list, which seldom
exceeds a few dozen, and Is mostly of
people of some degree of prominence, la
spread outinto nearly four solid columns.
The total number of deaths for week
ending Satuiday night was 1,210, an In
crease of 110 over tho previous week, and
an excess over the average of live years
of 309. Of this number, 500 were caused
by the grippe. Let us rejoice that we
live in a climate where epidemics are
unknown, and where the only causes of
. death are old age and poverty.
Ur to a late hour last nlglit the streets
of Americus wore in darkness, because,
according to the almanac, tho moon
should hare been shining enough to sup
ply what the city pays tho light compa
ny to furnish. Thu moon was about as
big as a slice of watermelon, and was
doing tho best she could, which is more
than can be said for the company which
is supposed to supplement the lunar
oontraot. For a few days before and
after tho full moon, It Is possible for
the people to steer clear of gullies, tele
phone poles, awning poBts and holos in
the sidewalks, without the aid of the
street lamps, but for the first week after
the new moon; the average citizen must
stay in doors until the moon seta, or run
the risk of breaking his neck. Lot us
have more light.
It is said that one of the strongest ele
ments of safety In the Italian situation
Is that Italy will give no casus belli to a
country whose tourists spend one hun
dred million dollars a year there. The
advantages to a country or city of
large Influx of tourists oan be judged
from the following from a Thomasville
paper:
Tus vaeant I torsi arc Ailing up, and the
rsmalnsofthe Auanolsi crash last fall have
about disappeared. The great ton del season
In Thomasville has flooded It with cash, so
that short crops aad fre-«oi ere strict ng It
lees seriously than other places.
When the Hotel Sumter la completed,
properly managed and advertised It will
become second only to The Timbs-Hk-
cobdxb at a factor In the prosperity of
Amerlout, as there are no conditions of
health or attraottvenose enjoyed by
Tbomssvllle that do not prevail here as
inducements for wealthy tourists to
.spend the winter and their cash.
IDA OYSTER COMMISSION.
"The oyster commission of Georgia will
moot at the office of Messrs. 1 Goodyear
Sc Kay, In Brunswick to-day. This com
mission was appointed by the governor
report upon the oyster Industry, and
•the meeting to be held there will be of
-greater Interest than any previous ses
sion of this body. Representatives of
the oyster interest at Darien, Savannah,
Brunswick and St. Mary’s will bo In at
tendance, and ail others who are Inter
ested are requested to bo present.
The eommission will test this luscious
bivalve on the half-shell, In the soup,
roasted, fried, raw, pickled, fricasseed
wild aad tame, and will then report to
the governor that the oyster Is a great
success, and that the governor deser
a chromo tor hta discrimination in ap
pointing on the commission a set of
men so eminently qualified to judge ac
curately of hla true iuwa.dnets.
THE LATEST 1IETURNN.
In the absence of facts. Editor Turner,
•I Albany, appears to be drawing on
Mi imagination for the wherewithal to
•lace hla thriving little city in the lead
In population In Southwest Georgia.
The census ol 1800, which gave
Americus 0333 people, tome 1,000 to
1,200 less than her actual population,
gave Albany about 3,700, which was
probably 1,000 short at the actual count.
This placed Americas some 2,300 ahead,
which is approximately correct.
Bat from the “lateat returns,” (no
•doubt from Editor Turner's sanctum)
•one Cram, of Atlas tame, places the fig
ures of Albany'e population at 0,830,
about 8,000 above Uncle Sam’a census,
■while Americus Is bold down to the ac
tual census retains of a year ago.
Albany didn't Uck over her report
when made public, knowing It wsa
“ALLIANCEMAN’S" CARII,
The Times-Rei ohdek gives place this
morning to a communication from a
prominent Alliancoman on the subject of
the Presidency of the Alliance.
The writer seeks to answer the charges
against Livingston by simply eulogizing
him and making counter-charges against
Gov. Northen, but neither sido has yet
proven anything, and from presont
prospects Is not in any hurry to do so.
In as much as the Alliance is In power
and proposes to rule the state and the
country, aa it is the clear right of the
majority to do, it is a matter of general
public Interest that tho Alliance be pre
sided over by the best, purest and most
capable men to be found in its ranks.
Tiie Tihes-Recoiidkii bas only that
Interest in the election that every
body bos and Is entitled to exercise con
cerning the man who will have the
power to do Georgia a great deal of
good or a great deal of harm, and no re
flection is iutended on the honesty or
honor of the Alllancuor Its present head,
wl cn The Times-Reuordeh says that
a better man can be got for the place
than Col. Livingston.
This view is not based on any of Gov
ernor Northen's so-called charges, and
this opinion Is in no wise influenced by
anything tiie partizans of tho Governor
may liavo said. Col. Livingston is en
titled to bo regarded as innocent of tiie
charges sought to he brought until lie is
proven guilty, but “Alliancoman" is
mistaken if ho supposes that all the op
position to Col. Livingston is based on
what Governor Northen charges or in
sinuates. Everybody in Georgia knows
the redoubtable Colonel, and it is upon
their own estimate rather than Governor
Northen’s that muoh of their opposition
la founded. If Livingston is triumph
antly vindicated from all the charges
now afloat, it does not add one lota to
his fitness for the place he holds, and In
discussing his candidacy Thr Times
Recorder Ignores all theie unproven
Insinuations.
It is safe to say that nine-tenths of the
opposition to the Alliance In Georgia,
from whatever source It may oorae and of
whatever kind, Is based solely upon the
personal unpopularity of Col. Livingston.
The general public has the kindest feel
ings towards the farmers, and look with
encouragement upon their attempts to
ameliorate their condition by wleely con
trolling legislation; but the same public
believes that tbe Alliance has seriously
hampered its usefulness In Its selection
of an executive head.
Ills well known that nothing but the
most urgent appeals and active work,
and the danger to the Democratic ma
jority iu the next House by the election
of Haight In the Fifth district, saved
Livingston from defeat; and if tho voters
could have seen what margin they were
destined to have in the Democratic
House, Col. Livingston would have been
the worst snowed under man who ever
ran for office In Georgia.
Hundreds, both in tho Alliance and
out of It,voted for him under protest,be
cause lio was the nominee, and the
question of Alliance or non-AIliance
was never taken into consideration
then, nnd is not now.
Any attempt by Col. Livingston’s
friends to make It appear that the oppo
sition to him in Georgia arises from op
position to the Alliance is unjust and
unfair, and is merely a clap-trap to rally
the Alliance around his standard.
Col. Livingston is not tho Alliance,
and upon his own merits lie must stand
or fail.
