Editor and Manager, THE TIMES PUBLISHING COMPANY, Americns, Ga. America*, Ga., May i, 1891. President Hahkibox is lingering on the Pacific coast, and seems to enjoy the hospitalities of tl e brethren. Corn at one dollar and ten cents per bushel beats cotton at six cents per pound. The logical conclusion is more com .and less cotton. The city council of Atlanta has passed an ordinance prohibiting the obstruction the sidewalks with merchandise, for all who visit the date City will turn thanks. Some people object to both silver and gold, but the average citizen is not so particular as to quality. It is quantity that ho wants, and if Uncle Sam will turn out a few more dollars it would be acceptable oven on brown paper. Some of the press gang who wont to Havana last spring can give the needed information in regard to the bones of Christopher Columbus. Larry Gantt saw them and recognized the ancient navigator who discovered America 400 years ago. Baron Hikscu the millionaire Jewish philanthropist says he purposed to spend all his wealth In colonizing the persecu ted Russian Jews in South America. He is quoted as saying: “After all, what is the use of money unless you do some good with it?” The Melon Growers’ association met in convention Wednesday at the. court house in Albany. The attendance was the fullest ever remembered, indicating the largest acreage over planted, and the liveliest interest ever manifested in plans for the distribution of the growing crop. THE WOMAN’S NtKSS <■ LUH. The Woman’s Press Club of Georgia is composed of the women journalists in the state, and is one of the most inter esting clubs in the south. Last April the club was organized at the Kimball House, with Mrs. Ella Ryington, of the Columbus Ledger, as president; Mrs. Lollie Belle Wylie, editor of Society, as vice-president: and Miss Minnie Quinn, secretary and treasurer. The first regular meeting was held in Columbus last May, at which time the cinb was elegantly entertained by the citizen* of that town. Sow, that they are coming to Atlanta, the people here should give the ladies of the club every attention consistent with true southern hospitality. Governor Xortlien will give a recep tion to the club at the executive man sion. and the occasion will be a pleasant one. Governor* Northen has expressed a great Interest in the work of the Wom an’s Press Club, and will do all in his power to further its success and inter ests. Mrs. B. F. Abbott will give an in formal reception to the club, to which the literary people of Atlanta will be in vited. Dr. U. B. Ridley will entertain the club at the Piedmont Driving Club, and there will be other entertainments given in their honor. The club numbers about eighteen members and is in a nourishing condition. In Juno the club will go to New York, at which time they will be entertained by Sorosis and Woman’s Press Club, of New York.—Atlanta Journal. Mrs. Byington, the President, a former Ainericus lady, and is well known among the older citizens as the daughter of the late Col Chas. T. Goode, one of the most prom inent lawyers who ever lived in Amer icas. Mrs. Byington has inherited the talent of her father, and is making much reputation in journalism. LABORERS' DAY. All over the civilized world to-day, in Europe and America, the laboring men will have a monster demonstration, such as has never l>een seen before, to protest against the condition of working people generally, and endeavor to devise some ways and means by which their condition will be ameliorated. Many i cities are afraid of the result, because j many idlers and hoodlums will partici pate and endeavor to make a row, and ; the fear that the worse element may con-1 trol, leads the police force to prepare for ! the wont.

The reason seems to he that they are never properly organised or led, else such legislation (if legislation is really the remedy) might 1 >ng since have been enacted as to have given the working peo- pto the rights which they hold arc now- inf ringed under the present organization and management of society. The results of these monster mass meetings all over the world will he watched with a great deal of interest. BARGAIN WEEK! -THOSE— CHANTILLY LACE PROFESSIONAL CARDS T. y>m*r street—over Holt's J J.

The Uirniingham Age-IIurald liaa jiiat discovered that tho credit ayetem does not pay, and with tho announcement that the price is reduced from ten to eight dollars proposes to cut off all who are in arrears. If all newspapers would adopt the cash system there would ho more wealthy editors. President McKee, on behalf of the committee appointed to memorialize the fate committee of the southernrali- way and steamship association, at its recent meeting In Tampa, reported that, through the efforts of the southorn rail roads, the old melon rates would he maintained for the approaching season THEY A LI, IIO IT. On yesterday The Tihes-Recordkh had occasion to quote from tho Albany Xews an item to tho effect that whit tling, playing drafts, etc., had become the absorbing occupation of Albany's prominent business men, while Aineri cus merchants were up to their eyes in work and had no time for foolislincss. Now it seems that to-day, having not tho fear of tho censure of tho press be fore their eyes, and to prevent Amcricus from having nny grounds for crowing over her neighbor, several prominent gcntlomon, to-wit: two bank cashiers and a director of the Americas Invest ment Company spent tho afternoon in a game of marbles on tho sidewalk In front of the library. The Timks-Kecohdfu hereby apolo gises to Editor Turner tor Its previous ness and now admits that there area few gentlemen of elegant leisure even in this thriving, busy metropolis. Stephen U. Elkins is authority for the statement made to a representative of the Pews Press that James G. Blaine would shortly announce his decision not under any circumstances to allow his name to he used at tho Dost republican convention us a candidate for president. It is said that Mr. Blaine's letter or an nouncement will he so positive as,to ad mit of but one construction, and that is that lie will never again bo a candidate for -the presidency. Hon. Smith M. Weed says that when the time came Mr. Blaine would bo found positively de clining a nomination. Also W. J. Arkell says that Mr. Blaine is about to como out witli a most positive refusal to allow his name to he used again in connection witli tho presidency. The ministers of Atlanta are divided upon the question as to whether it is light to hold memorial services on Sun day. At a recent meeting of the minis ters association a member introduced n resolution condemning tho Sunday me morial service, and ltov. Ur. I,co is quo ted ns opposing them rather forcibly, so so that tiie meeting was adjourned much so that tiie meeting was adjourned to prevent further discussion, and tiie question is not yet settled. Sunday seems a lit day for such services, as it is close akin to religion, to love and honor our fallen heyoes. Ik Congressman Mills could have got ten the appointment to succeed Senator Kengan, and held aloof for tho purpose of capturing the speakership, lie ii likely to bo disappointed, and a defeat in the house will almost surely result in u dc .feat in Texas, when tho sohnu eject successor to Mr. Chilton, who was re cently appointed by Gov. Hogg. The monthly statement of the (fen tral railroad for March allows a gross In crease in ita earning of over $80,000 over last March, and a net increase of over $41,000. The Increase, including that from the investments, is over $70,000. For the nine months to date, the net In crease of earnings passses $123,000, with a total decrease of income of $70,000. A host distressing disaster occurred at Troy, Ala., Wednesday evoning. Twenty or thirty of the young ladles of the town were rehearsing at the opera house for an amateur performance, whon the roof fell and the building was do mollabed. Two young ladles were in stantly killed, and several more seri ously wounded. It la a miracle that any escaped alive. Toe Ninth National bank, New York, has been robbed of over $400,000 by its late president, John T. Itlll, whose re cent death resulted in investigations which have led to the disclosure that he had been stealing the bank's money tor years. The bank examiner and the clear ing house committee have examined the bank's assets and report that the insti tution la still solvent, owing tojta hold ings of valuable real estate. A BEBoic young Russian pasted through Atlanta the other day on his way to his native land. Russia has a ■ law which foroes all young men when they become of age to serve in the army, and if they cannot be found their fathers are lined and Imprisoned, This young man baa been in the United States slnoe 1882, but is now on his way home to relieve his old father from fine and imprisonment, by serving his time In the army. Secretary Blaine is quoted as say ing that nothing will be done by the ad ministration about China's rejection of Blair unless President Harrison directs some action to bp taken. The Japanese mission la vacant and Blair may be giv en this aa a consolation. Possibly Dcn- byiuyaow be allowed to remain as minister to China. The secretary of the Chinese legation says of him: “Gan. Denby Is the most popular American who haa represented this government at any court since the lste Hr. Burlin game. Coni i ii ess man Bankard was in town yesterday, and to a representative of (lie Agc-IIeraid he was pleasantly com- municativo. He is always that way. It he haa got anything to say he doesn't hesitate to speak out, and that sort of n man is loved of nowspaper men and un derstood of - and loved by the people. The congressman was asked what ho thought of tho speakership fight, and If he had any inside Informormation which lie would be willing to Impart. “I don't know thnt I have any information not possessed by the general public,” ho said. “The fight is between Mills and Crisp, with chances In favor of the Georgian. 1 believe that Crisp will bo elected, but until that event transpires we are going to linve a lively tight. The opposition to Ciisp is being led by the St. Louis. Republic, which Is fight ing him ostensibly on the grounds that he Is a conscript in tariff reform. The Tepnblic says that Crisp was In a meas ure forced to be in favor of reforming the tariff and points out that on that great question he has never taken a leading position in the house. “The claim that the Georgia congress man was conscripted Into tho ranks of the reformers is not only untrue, but it It gravely unjust. There is not a more honest or earnest tariff reformer in con gress. It is quite true that he hasn’t taken the lead on that question, but that has been more of an accident than other wise. It certainly wasn't design. Mr. Crisp has never had a place on the ways and means committee, of which Mills has been chairman, and he therefore has had no opportunity for leading In the struggle for tariff reform. He couldn’t have done ao, tried he ever so earnestly. He could'nt have got the floor; bat even If ho could it would have been an un usual and undignilled step for him to have taken. It scorns to mo that the friends of Mills are hard put to it when they urge such flimsy objections against Crisp, and such tactics are not calculated to do Mills any good. Criap is the fa vorite of tho south ami the cast, and ho will be speaker. He is eminently fitted for the position and will honor his party and the house of representatives."—Age- Herald.
