Editor and Manager, THE TIMES PUBLISHING COMI’ANY, Aiuericua, Ga. Americus, Ga., April 23, 1891. Bkickhat soup and leather broth U delicate, digestible and delectable com pared to Nome of the jokeH about the Mafia and the grippe. Auoi sta has 28,000 bales of cotton in stock in excess of last year this time, and her receipts to date are 58,428 ahead of the previous year’s receipts. The Fort Valley Leader gives the fol lowing salute to a class of deadbeats not unknown to various other newspapers: Go.I wasted 'Olid when lie m ««Je a man No mean mm tt II III* poMiiiatder to return tils pape* MiMrked * re'iised," whi-n he islnui* rears for M*ventl mo .11»»«* *ubwiiption. 1ngai.es justifies the New Orleans tragedy in an article in New York Truth, lie thinks the “average American citi zen thinks he lias about reached a peri od when he ought to he protected from the Mafia and other foreign garbage." For the second time interest in the Ital ian rumpus has died completely out.Tke opinion is general that it will be a hard matter for the Italians to answer Mr. Blalnu'a last dispatch which is regarded as that gentleman’s ablest state paper. Editor Branham set the example o! getting off some fearfully and wonder fully constructed words, and now Editor Bayne of Augusta, rallies with “A Fol- laceous Fascicle." After this who will dare impugn Yolapuk, Kickapoo and Norse? State Senator Ellington has written a letter withdrawing from the race for president of the State Alliance. It is said Mr. Searcy, who is now in Florida, will do the same thing. This will leave Col. Livingston an open field, and his election is a foregone conclusion. The equilibrium of nature is preserv ed. Valdosta turns out twenty acres of cucumbers, and the Atlauta Medical College about four score doctors. But while the one is supposed to counteract the other, what 1! both got iu their work at the same time on tbo same patient ? The morals of the English army must be at a very low ebb, when the crack regiment in the service, the Grenadier Guards, mutinies because the drills were a little too numerous and fatiguing. The English army appears to be made up of dudes and loafers who are too tired to drill. Somebody advertised in Sunday's Sa vannah News that a girl baby, two months old, would be given to anybody who would adopt her, and that a bonus of $500 in cash would accompany her. More than 100 answers were received by Monday night, only one of which really wanted the baby without the cash. Editor Gantt is one of the most in nocent And unsuspecting of laiuhs. He Interviewed Postmaster-General Wanna- maker In Atlanta recently, and that smooth-tongued puritan gave the gentle Larry so much taffy that he believes in the political conversion of that dyed-in- the-wool Republican. Hear 1dm in re’ gird to several obnoxious postmasters. The germ or microbe theory is uow the popular method for accounting for all diseases, and a scientific gentleman la Indiana lias discovered the “voting microbe" and photographed it. It is aald to have been freelv used by Blocks- of-Five-Dudley in inoculating the Indi ana voters in the last election: and its physical appearance, according to the photographs, is strikingly like a dollar mark preceding the figure 2, only not so regular; thus: $2. Trill/, the march of science is startlingly wonderful, as well as wonderfully startling. According to a distinguished Demo cratic congressman, who lias correspon ded with most of the Democratic mem bers elect, it has been determined to di vide the principal otlices of the next house, so as to give the speaker to the south, and the clerk, door-keeper and sergeant-at-arms to the north and west. Mr. Crisp, according to the same au thority, is now far in the lead for speaker, and Mr. Kerr of Pennsylvania for clerk. The Chicago Inter-Ocean has lately devoted a good deal of its space to at tacks against the penitentiary system of Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama, and described in the most lurid style the brutal treatment to which convicts in those states were subjected. According to the Inter-Ocean 'the officials of the penitentiaries in those states amused themselves by shooting and beating the prisoners to death. But iu devoting its attention to imaginary abuses in tiie SQUtb, the Inter-Ocean overlooks evils quite near its own doors. Tiie atteu tion of the Inter-Ocean is called to the report of the legislative committee of Minnesota regarding the Inhuman treat ment of convicts In the penitentiary of that state; how they were beaten over the heads with clubs and hanged by the wrUts for sixteen hours until they were almost dead from pain and exhaustion. This report would have been a delicious morsel for the Inter-Ocean, had it ema nated from a legislative committee of a southern state, but unfortunately the cowardly brutality referred to occurred in the good Republican state of Minne sota. Cruelty Is about the same the world over, and politics never made s cruel man less so. Neither is cruelty s question of geography, •* th# Inter- • ihm|Mh| , Ocean would make believe.

A few days .ago, when there were three announced candidates for the presiden cy of the Farmers’ Alliance and it look ed like a free for-all-race was in order, The Timkn-Hei order felt that in such a nice Southwest Georgia should not be left out, having a man living in Ameri- cuh, in every way tiie equal, and in many respects tiie superior, of some of tiie avowed candidates. Hence the sug gestion of the name of a suitable gentle man for that position. The Farmers’ Alliance composes the hulk of the Democratic party of Geor gia, and can and will control the legisla tion and politics of the state. Everybody is therefore vitally inter ested iu the election of the best man for the presidency of the Alliance, w hich really means the head of the Democratic and Anglo-Saxon party in this state, in fact, w hatever it may be in theory. Yet Editor Gantt, the self con stituted dictator of the order, resents any suggestions not originating with himself, and N.iys, commenting on Tiie Times-Rkcorder'h advocacy of one of its worthy fellow townsmen, that paper who were not connected with the order, and men not members of the order should not he nominating officers for it." If this be the platform of Editor Gantt. The Timeh-Rki order has as good right to suggest as lias tiie .Southern Alliance Farmer, inasmuch as The Times-Hk- C'oiidkr has a larger circulation among alliancemen in the half dozen counties adjacent here, and lias as good an al lianceman as Editor Gantt or anybody else on its editorial and business staff. U these facta doi’t give The Times- Recorder any privileges, pray where do Editor Gantt and his "organ" come in? The Timks-Hecorder doesn't seek to pose as the “organ" of the Alliance, but it has equal rights with Editor Gantt, if there be any rights, and purposes to be beard in its columns and in the lodge rooms which a member of its staff is en titled to enter, wherever any questions of common interest to alliancemen and non-alliancemen come up for discussion. Does Editor Gantt see the point? GEORGIA AT CHICAGO It would bd a a rent mistake for Georgia not to be represented At the World'* Fair, and yet very lltt e It being done to have her represented there. The enterprising men of the state have a duty to perform In this mat ter, mod the sooner they prepare for It, the bettei. -Savannah News. There is just one feasable, practicable way for Georgia to he represented, in the absence of her ability to have an ap propriation out of the treasury made by the legislature, and that Is in accordance with the line suggested by The Times Recorder to have the use of the direct tax money which the general govern ment will refund to the state. This money comes to Georgia uow in the legal light of a donation, and there Is no obstacle In the way of its use by the governor In any manner lie may see fit, for the public good. Let the people of Georgia indicate their wishes as to his use of this fund, and Tiie Times-Rkcouder bellevea the money can be so applied. If the statements of Mrs. Martin, now on trial in Birmingham for murdering her husband's brother, can bo substan tiated, the blackest crime !r the calen dar will shine out as one of, the cardinal virtues by the side of that man's infamy. It la charitable to humanity to hope that the emotional insanity which Mrs. Mar tin pleads as justifying her act, may have so far beclouded her memory that her statements regarding Martin are only partially true, and that he is not so black as she paints him. Unions some power fully rebutting testimony is introduced, Mrs. Martin will be cleared without a moment's hesitation by the jury. If there is anything in the .absolute unanimity of the press not only of Geor gia, but of the south, Tom Watson is tiie most not down on man that ever lived. The Augusta Chronicle is cruel ly publishing a column at a time of tho comments of tiie press on Tommy's course, and unless his hide is remarka bly tough, lie must feel keenly tha. he has made an unqualified fool of himself. But this is a good lesson to our verdant young sprig of a congressman, that may teach him more discretion in the future. TELEPHONE 93. BEALL 4 OAKEY. TELEPHONE 93.
