K» II- M ac than one failure has occurred recently which led the people to say to themselves, if not to proclaim it pub licly, "fraud." There should lie a special law enacted making it possible for tho parties to such failures, if the charge can be proven, to receive their just deserts. The desperado who holds up a train and at the point of a pistol makes one man after another give up his money or his life is to he admired for his bravery, though it be foolhardy and criminal. Tlie lurking, sneaking highwayman is to be detested and punished, but even be is as an angel almost as compared with the man who breaks for what there is in it.

Yes, and it quite likely that mauy “cats'* will sail on old ocean's bosom. The petrified body of a woman who lias been missing forty years has been found in Indiana. The eyes were gone from their sockets but the tonguo was still on tho proper pivots. The local columns of this morning's Times-Kkcoiidkh bear witness to the fact that the most mythical of myths— tho race issue—will soou settle itself if negro excursions and mean liquor are given a fair shake. It is not to be believed that alliance- men, who are ever wide awake to the principle of “the greatest good to the greatest number,” will allow bad feeling within their homo circle to prevent Geor gia’s being properly represented at tlie World’s fair. .1*0 build unto himself so far as money' is concerned a llowery bed of i which, owing to tho rule that is The house of represesentatives of the Massachusetts legislature has passed tho bill repealing the law' requiring all drinking at saloons to be done while the biblers sat at tables. The senate had pre viously passed the bill. Tiplers can now drink perpendicularly, and a too free in dulgence will change the position to a horizontal one. It is a notable fact that it is about nip and tuck with Sam Small and the people of Ogden as to which can hurl the vilest and the greatest profusion of epithets at the other. It is equally as patent that there is enough difference between a common reporter and the proprietor of a $10,000 mansion in Philadelphia to compensate one for being called ugly names. While Secretary Foster Is ruminating over tho work of tho billion dollar con gress, and trying to mako its acts lit tho treasury pile. It may not bo out of order to remind him that the “revenue cut ters” can bo dispensed with, thanks to the English language, for there are thousands of tailors beneath tho bonny llag of tho stars and stripes who cut for revenue only. Ghouls are after the body of the late Phineas T. Darnum for the uso of a museum. That would be the Irony of fate; to make a show out of tho great •bowman. Phineas’ ghost might not put up such a grand kick, however, if It could become what Phineas in the flesh outlayed so much money for—an attraction for tho Barnum and Bailey aggregation. Maciiixkrt running at great friction Is apt to emoke, and when a man or a machine gets on too much steam they have to blow off and simmer down. It was only the exhaust report from Ster ling Roberts and Larry Gantt that the public heard. Some may find relief in knowing that neither of these gentle men ever got Into a hole of which they could not get out. A GENTLEMAN wllO Is said to be In touch with the order has been quoted by tho Constitution as saying that the al- liancemen of north Georgia are opposed to an appropriation by tho state for an exhibit at the World's fair. Here is a good change for Mr. Livingston to do some missionary work and keep up h'<s reputation as one of tho leaders in what is of Interest to the state of his choice. Hangings are getting to be almost weekly occurrences in Georgia. This is no evidence that crimo is on the in crease, but it is proof positive that jurors are doing their duty more thoroughly. It is conceded that several legal execu tions will have the effect of causing those with murderous proclivities to go with slowness and trepidation in taking the life of a fellow man. Even hangings arc good things in their places. The success of the late Mme. Blavats- ky shows once more how easy a thing itU to launch a new religion. Three times tho prophetess changed her faith. At first she was a simple spirit medium and taught the religion of raps. Then she posed ss s Roaicrucian, and taught the mystic'doctrines ascribed to Rosen- krinz. Finally she “lifted the entire system now called theosophy from the writings of the late Eliphaz Levi. getting dav by day to be more of a law with society, he may rest happy, con tented and respectful, while his credi tors rush around, tear their hair and are forced to the wall by abject Inability to meet their obligations. That, however, is a rule of trade and pity is not for him who suffers himself to be worked easily. There are those who have a greater burden to bear than they. There are the merchants and property holders in the cities and towns where the failures occur.* One “break” can do a city or town damage untold, shakes confidence in tho place and the people; stagnates business and tears the market to pieces if the bankrupt stock is put on sale at bankrupt prices. It causes men to rush around in their anxiety to save themselves and foreclose on honest men who would pay if they were given any kind of a t show, as is frequently done in the ordinary chan nels of trade. These are facts and can not be evaded* y et there are men so pol luted with tho desire for money, no matter whether they got it honestly 01 dishonestly, that they care naught for precipitating such a state of affairs. For the men who honestly fail in meeting their obligations because of ad verse circumstances, Tiif. Times-Rk- cordek has every sympathy. The other class may be numbered as one of tho crying evils of the day. For them this paper has no sympathy. It thinks that a special law should be placed on the statute book, making the punishment meted out to them fit tho crime, and that no effort should ho spared to prove the charge of fraud, for whero there is much smoke tho fire is likely to burn. In this The Timeh-Rkcoiidkh believes itsolf hacked up by tho people. HE GETS LEFT. Facts are very ugly things. You can’t smooth their wrinkled brows with bat tering rhetoric nor. mako them sweet tempered with special pleading. And one of these ugly facts which will “moot us at Phlllippi” or at the polls in the year of our Lord 1802 is that the McKin ley bill is the biggest show and hum bug of the generation. It is a cheat and a Ho from the enact ing clause to tho last syllable. The poor man gets no moro wages, no more work, gets no more anything. Yes, we mistake, he does get one thing —he gets left It costs him more for his table and for his wardrobe, more for medicino and more for the coffin in which he buries his dead. Tho McKinley bill is a curso which dogs his steps at every turn and follows him to the grave. That Is the Issue for tho next cam paign, and tho people will make it red hot for the party bosses and tricksters who have played them for fools. MAKE HASTE SLOWLY. While it seems that the men are anx ious to prove that they do not consider marriago a failure, It looks os if the ladies are getting careless as to whom they marry, for scarcely a day passes but what one or more cases of bigamy are reported. The fault of this lies at the doors of tho young ladies and the parents of tho country. They should make haste slow ly in this important matter. There Is no girl nor uo parents that cannot get the pedigree of a man if they want It. If, however, this is not true there is, or should be, nothing to compel a marriage until this pedigree is obtained. Ladies and their parents are largely to blame for the number of bigamists in the coun try, and sad to relate they seem to be dally becoming less careful in this im portant matter. No law will ever remedy the evil with out the co-operation of those directly at interest in pro vent! hg It. The report that a well known young Georgian fought a duel with a Russian count in Chicago is discredited. Geor gians hare plenty of flgbt when the neccsaity arises for fighting. It is, how- ever, a troth known of all men that Georgia duellists don’t duel. SOMETHING TO WORK FOIC. A city builded upon the solid rock of home cash, and hacked up by a people- who have that faith in it which can move mountains, should not be at any loss as to w hat to do in a case like tlie one which presents itself to the people of Ainericus just now. The Amcricus street railroad is short ly to be sold at receiver's sale, unless a motion to set aside prevails. If this motion prevails, those who ordered it made will see to it that all is well. If it does not prevail. Ameiicus enterprise and Ainericus pluck should take upon themselves tlie duty of having the road to remain whero it is and of having the cars to run as* of old. Laboring under many disadvantages the road met not that measure of suc cess anticipated for it, and was forced to suspend. A season has passed that has worked many changes in Ainericus, and made her more avowedly one of the leading cltios of Georgia. It is said by those who have studied the matter that the time is auspicious for the electric cars to begin operations once agaiu. The plant may mako mbnoy now or it may not. That is to he tested. But the day is certainly coming when it will bo paying property. With this fact in view, as well as the best interests of Americus, tlie cars should start again. Lot the people see to this. Form a company and let Amer icus energy clear the track, Americus pluck grease the clogged wheels and Americus money furnish the motive power, while Americus people and the visitors ride, and all will be well. Life will come out of what is now only a memory, the cling, clang, cling of the bells wJJl bo heard at every street cross Ing and Americus cau proudly boast her electric cars once more. Let all be up and doing in this matter and success will answer the call of Americus enterprise mistakes BEflLL & OAKLEY, 313 LAMAR STREET, OiFF'ER- For the next thirty days, startling reductions in their entire stock DRYGOODS, DRESS GOODS, Ik Tiie Timks-Rkcohdk not there is an ordinance against the blowing of locomotive whistles in Amer icus. yet the day, aud the [night and the stillness thereof, are made to fairly howl with tlie shrieks of the iron horse.
