Amerious, Ga., May 3, 1891.
Georgia ought to bo a very happy
state. It has bad the happiness of gaz
ing upon the Don Benjamin Harrison, | s ™
and tlie watermelon crop is going to be
gigantic. Sweets to the sweet.—New
York Sun.
THAT STREET RAILWAY.
Now, this la quite different to too way the
rival towns rf Georgia regard each o' h er.
Take Albany and A merle <asa an llln.ira-
tlon, forlnstance. Thir-hna lone e.lited a
spirit ol generous and pleasant rlvatrr be
tween these eilles that has sparred each of
them to «r 'ster exertions to build np, and
hdhor them, nodes the pushing process
wbice this rivalry has Inspired, have done
much. Atnerleus built an elaborate system
ofeteetrle street railway, and Albany fal*
lowed right along behind It with a dummy
line and a horse-ear belt line, both of whlrh
are mating money and proving a great
souree of eonveni-nee to the people. The
same cannot be su'd of Amerlcus' electric
si reel ear line, which, having proven tmhlg
a thing, an elephant. In fact, has ana la-t re
sort, beet, sold to a .yndlra'e In Mseon and
rs'ooved t • that city, wberelherelsa grent*
er n°ed of electrl 1 stre.-t ra'lways.—Albany
Editor Turner persiats in an error that
has been several times corrected in these
columns; that the Americas street rail-
way had been sold to Macon and remov
ed to that city.
Our street railway Is hero to stay, and
will soon be in operation, whether by
electricity or other motive power Is yet , .,
. . . . , . _ >. H is the last IS
to be determined. Two o~ the heavy
cars have been rented to the Macon com
pany, but the others are here, and those
sent away will he replaced by lighter
cars.
Furthermore, the street railway was
not an elephant on our hands. Upon its
own merits and with proper manage
ment it would hare been self-sustaining
but for its complication with some other
bogus schemes that pulled it down when
they went by the board.
I.et Editor Turner possess his soul in
patience; Americas is bound to come
out on top, and that right speedily.
Senatub Bi.aib had his grip packed
and had gotten as far as Chicago on lain
journey as minister to Chins, when he
was called back to Washington The
Chirese government may do worse, but
it is hardly possible.
The New York legislature adjourned
last Friday. Take it ail together there
Is very little difference botween New
York legislature and the Georgia
legislature. Both do a good deal and
accomplish very little.
Ix yesterday's Times-Enterprise
John Triplett las a leader on the cor-
sett. Other bachelors of tlio Georgia
press wonld like to know where and
when John Triplett became acquainted
with the article In question.
The argument before the Western and
Atlantic commission was closed yester
day. and It la now left to that body to
decide whether the state owes the les
sees or whether the lessees owe the
state. Tbelr decision Is awaited with
interest
The Charleston News and Courier
says: “The cotton crop of 1800-01, that
Is In sight to-day, according to Secretary
Hester, of the New Orleans exchange, day was arrested at Evansville, Ind
amounts to the Immense total of 8,028,- wh | Ie on woy to Florida, It'Is
supposed.
“Old Hutch” has been the terror
speculators for years, and has manipu
lated the markets In more than one In
stanco to the sorrow of his neighbors
and associates. He was extremely ec
centric, and in many ways attracted
public attention, not only in his specu
lations but in his private life, ne cared
little for the world or what It thought
of his methods, hut accumulated mil
lions are nothing to him now,and he will
probably apend the remainder of hia
days in an Insane asylum
HIS SINS HAVE OVERTAKEN HIM.
“Old Hutch,” the Ch'cago speculator,
has at last gone to the wall, and no one
in this broad land will grieve that he
will no more enter the field of specula
tion. Ills heavy losses In the past two
years have about consumed his Immense
fortune, and made him a subject for the
mad house. He wandered away from
his home several days ago, and on Frl
783 bales, which Is 718,000 more than
the large erop of the preceding year,
The eEperlence this country Is under
going at present should teach every tiller
Of the soil that it is better to raise suf
ficient grain crop* than to depend upon
a fluctuating market If the farmers of
Georgia had corn to sail it would be
good money In their pockets at the
present prices.
Two Jacksonville editors met In the
capltol at Tallahassee Friday and en
tertained the members of the legisla
ture with a regular fist and skull fight
Stockton of the Tlmes-Union la support
ing Call and Harrison of the Floridian la
opposed to him. Some uncomplimenta
ry remarks brought on the fight
Alabama will hold a convention at
Montgomery soon for the purpose of
devising means to make a display at the
World's fair, A bill appropriating
thirty thousand dollars for that purpose
failed of passage in the house, and the
neeesaary.fnnda will have to be raised
by private subscription. Alabama la in
the same boat with Georgia in this mat
ter.
The ezpendltnre* for pensions for the
year ending June 80, as now oiliolaUy
stated, amounted to •100,357,534, In
the previous year we paid 187,<44,779.11,
while in the year before that we paid
•80,288,506.77. The coat of the German
army, It may be interesting to note, is
tor this year estimated at •01,726,393.
Besides our pensions our army costs
•30,000,000.
Elaborate preparations are being
made at Colombia, 8. C., for celebrat
ing the centennial anniversary of the
first meeting of the genet al assembly of
South Carolina In that eity. The cele
bration will oeeopy May 13,14 and 15,
and will include an oration by General
- Wade Hampton, a military parade, a
people’s ball, etc. It ia well to celebrate
snob events.
In his speech before the assembled
teachers In Brunswick, Governor Nor-
then advocated schools for the training
of teachers; and Commissioner Bradwell
wanted longer terms for the oommon
schools. The greatest need of the schools
Is’more money, and when the salary la
.sufficient to command we will have
better teachers, and abler men and wo
men will train for the profession.
It will be greatly to the oredlt of the
Hew York police force if the man cap
tured In Hew York a few days ago,
known as Frenoby Ho. 1, turns out, as
Inspector Byrnes believes, to be “Jack
the Kipper," The entire police force of
London has been trying for two years to
capture tbia interesting individual,
without success. Highway butchery
cannot go on with impnnlty In America,
as this arrest proves.
The Savannah Hews In speaking of
the candidacy of Jndge Crisp for the
speakership says: “The prospects of
Crisp are muoh better than those of any
other candidate. He ia conducting his
canvass quietly and with excellent judg
ment. The attacks whieh the friend* of
other candidates make from time to
time on Iris record be meets fairly and
squarely, and thus far they have done
him no harm. Indeed, there arereaaona
fur thinking that they have done him
good, becauso they have given him a
uhance to explain some things which, if
unexplained until the last moment,
might be used to his disadvantage."

The school history for southern chil
dren'should clearly set forth the south
ern side of the controversies' that led to
the war between the states as Its main
purpose. It should be a perfectly fair
history, and, therefore, should state the
northern side of the controversies alto
but the motives and principles that ac
tuated the story of their glorious part
In that struggle should be told In a way
to make a lasting Impression on the
minds of the younger generation. A
colorless narrative will not answer,
The child should be made to understand
fully what bis father and kinsmen
fonght for and bow well they fought:
and should be Inspired with more pride
in the history of the four years of une
qual war waged by the southern states
In their struggle for Independence than
In any other history that ever was writ
ten or that ever will be written.—Hews
and Courier.
The London Standard, commenting
on the Blair incident, lays: “Seldom
has a more flagrant breach of inter
national courtesies occurred than In the
appointment of Blair aa minister to
China, and the refusal of the Chinese
government to receive him has lnflteted
a rebuff alike on Blair and the United
States government. The Incident will
hardly add to the the popularity of
President Harrisou, and the Americana
who have been snubbed by the action
of China will thank neither the Presi
dent nor Blair for haring placed the
country In the wrong. Blair, In the
course of Iris public career, has said
many unpleasant things about other
countries. It will be well If his politic
al friends reward bis services In some
other way than making him minister to
a foreign court.’’
No city In Georgia can take rank with
Amerlcus on Improvements In the past
two ycare, and to-day she ie rapidly
marching onward and gathering new
citizen* from all parts of the country.
Hundred* of new bouse* have been built
In the past twelve months, and still
every arsilable mechanic la busy with
saw and hammer, and the houses arc
hardly completed before they are occu
pied. The only thing that will keep
Americas from being bigger than any
other city In Georgia Is that she would
crowd all othercltiea outof the state.
It now appears that the announce
ment that Mr. Blaine would not be a
candidate for the republican nomination
for president against Mr. Harrison was
simply a little previousness of eon Rus
sell through the columns of bis own
journal. Mr. Blaine remains quiet upon
the subject, bnt will no doubt speak out
aa soon as he decides whether it is safe
for him to enter the nee, To become
president has been the ambition of bis
life, sod be wonld hardly let an oppor
tunity to gratify it fall.

GETTING OUT OF TROUBLE.
Several days since the The Tihes-Re-
<-order published the fact that the Ma
con Construction Company was in a fair
way to eacape from Its present financial
embarrassment, and that means were
being devised to take it out of the re
ceiver's hands as early aa possible. From
the following, taken from yeeterday’s
Constitution, It wonld appear that ar
rangements to this end were nearly per
fected;
Tte rumortliat the Mat-on Construction
Company would anon bo out of trouble prove*
to bo well founded, It i« learned from a cit
izen of Macon that urrangementa w«*re made
to get the money nee-asary to pay the
debt*, provided the peop'e of Macon
would raise ffJO.Oi 0. This amount, the Macon
man said wan rained there on Th ir*day, and
toe relief of the Macon Construction Compa
ny U assured. This must mean the comple
tion of the Macon and Birmingham, for that
road is bo far competed that It would be a
great loss of capital If It should not be pushed
to Its western connection at Birmingham.
On the other hand, the building of the Macon
and Atlantic Is so far under contract that
there will be great lost If it Is not built. It Is
likely thatsomethiag will be done there, for
miles of an ulr-llne from
Kansas City to the se$.
BE0LL & OAKLEY,
THOMAS B. REED IN ROME.
Behold me aa I stand,
W here Rome hat stood
For twice a thousand years
A morel
* Behold us both:
Me and Home!
And then, dear friends.
Please give your eyes a rest.
Rome has bar history,
And I have mine;
But Rome, although she sat
Upon her seven hill 4
And ruled the world.
Never sat I i the 8pcnke> *s chair
Of the fifty 'first Congress
And bossed that
Megathenun a gregatlun
As I did,
And that Is where I've go*.
The bulge on Rome!
Herein aid Cscsar’sdistrict
I «lt ine down, and with my feet
Upon hie ancient mantelpiece
I feel at home.
Mennd Ciesarl
Twin stars that twinkle through all time!
t'wo Iroa hoe s that trod as one
Upon the people's nrcke,
' ml then we got In our own!
By go*h! dear f lends, I don't like that a
little bit.
And Cresar dl <n't either,
Although he didn't have a
Word to say after it was over.
For obvious reasons!
But Brutus wasn’t a pitching
ToBpringerot Illinois.
Or Rogers of Arkansas;
s nd Ccesar had aumethlng
To be thankful for!
I'm with you Rom*, ,
From the Passamaquoddy'a
7umbllng tide of saw logs
To where toe tawny Tiber flows.
And we should organise
A Reed and Roman trunt.
And swipe the universe!
Are thereobJectionK?
I hesr none.
Tjo ayes seem to have It;
The ayes have It!
Then let her go. Gallagher!
But 1 shall never think
That In that elder day
To be a Roman
Wee greater than a speaker
Of the grand old flft»-flrst.
And don't you forget It!
That's what!!

Mrs. Mary Ann Jackson, widow of
General “Stonewall" Jackson, U in Hew
York, engaged in writing up a biogra
phy of her distinguiihed husband.
Hew York special states that for many
yean after the General’s death Mrs
Jackeon~ateadlly refusodjall requests to
give to the public the story of bis life as
only she could write it. It was not un
til tbelr only child, Mrs. Uhristian, had
married that she yielded to her request
to write the life of a father she hsd nev
er known except by reputation. Since
Mrs. Christian's death, Mrs. Jackson
has looked upon this as a labor of love,
and has continued the work for her
grandchildren. The book Is now com
pleted, and will be published this fall
It will be essentially the story of Gen
eral Jaokson's private and domestic
life.
A story is told of an advertiser who
presented himself at the Hew York Her
ald counter with a three thousand dol
lar roll as an offer for a half column ad
vertisement with a good sized ont ac
companying it The “ad” was refused.
There is a standing rule in the Herald
office to never insert advertising cute.
Congressman Crisp stands squarely on
tb* principles of the democratic party, la a
wise and experienced legislator, a capable
parliamentaMan, and would make an able
aod Impartial speaker or the house of repre
sentatives.—llruniwlck Times.
