Editor and Manager, THE TIMES PUBLISHING COMPANY. Amerlnna, Gr. Amorieus, Ga., April 14, 1801. 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. PROFESSIONAL CARDS A. KLUTTZ, ARCHITECT AMD Bupeiuktksdent, America*, Georgia. Tamar ■treet—orer Holt's. J.
