Americus, Qa., July 1, 1891. Frebident Polk and Repre»entative Tom Watson of this state, are in North Carolina speaking to the alliance. The Trihune-of-Rome thinks that the $00,000 spent for provisions in Chatta nooga for the Georgia encampment should have been left in Georgia. The maintenance of the Italian gov ernment cost 13,000,000 liras last year. All attempts to make bright remarks on this statement will be ruled out. The word Isn't pronounced that way. Assistant Sec betaiiv Cbounse has selected as a site for the public building at Savannah, the property hounded by Bull, York, Whittaker and President streets, the cost of which is $55,000. Uncle Jerry Kcsk proposes to pro duce shower* of rain by explosions in the atmosphere. He will probably be about as sucoessful as the “concussion brigade" was in dispelling the microbes in August, 1888. It is not lik ly that the representa tives of the Chilian Insurgents now in Washlngton>ill receive any consolation from United States government. None of the official heads of department will receive them officially or otherwise and they will go home sadder but wiser i pB i“ A salvation army woman was eject ed from a saloon In Augusta the other night, because she interferred with the players. She prayed for half an hoar, but not a cue was shelved, and no one In the hall heeded her supplication. She then gave them a piece of her mind and was pnt out. The Tin es- Uscor deb says the A mertcus Light Infantry carried nine lawyers,with them to camp. They are to he commended fur not taxing along the whole bar—Rome Tribune. From oar knowledge of Ameilcus lawyers, a whole bar ehonll have been carried along. -MonUsuma Record. The nine lawyers who went swore off before they left; but the twenty-Ove who remained at home didn’t alto gether. Some of the Pennsylvania Republicans are opening their eyes to the misdeeds of Senator Quay, and hare published a letter charging him with the defeat of the Republican party in the last guber natorial campaign, and touches him np In all the charges made against him last year. When they get through with Hr. Quay they should pay their respects to Hr. Wanamaker, and give him a round or two. The governor refused to Interfere In the sentenoe of George Washington, but Judge Clark has ordered that the bang ing be private, and that colored in dividual will be duly executed in the jail yard in Atlanta next .Friday. The negroes of Atlanta feared that the exe cution would Interfere with their big fourth of July celebration, but in this they were mistaken, as It would only make their crowd larger. Secretary Noble has directed that the proper drtlficates be sent to the secretary of the treasury directing the payment to the treasurer for the use of the university of the state of Georgia, of the first and second installments of $15,000,and $10,000, under the agricultu ral college act of August 30,1880. These funds are to be expended according to the ratio that the colored population of school age holds to the white popula tion of school age. The Kennebec Journal, Blaine's home organ, says: "The loud-moutbed rant ers who are seeking to revive sectional feeling In the south against the north by glorifying the rebellion and all who took psrt therein, are dolng-more harm than the low price of cotton will ever do." We haven't heard of any of these loud mouthed ranters down here. In fact, we pay little attention to "loud-mouthed ranters" anyway. The northern crop is plentiful enough—it doesn't need any encouragement. A number of lumber mills In the state have shut down recently, and in all probability more will shut down within the next few weeks. Host of the mills that have shot down are the smaller mills on the Georgia Southern A Florida railroad, which are remote from Savan nah and also from Hie Savannah, Florida A Western railway, the great lumber system. The yellow pine Industry has been particularly affected by the dis tressed financial condition of South America. For several years South America has taken about 900,000,000 feet of lamber per annum. Boring last year it has not taken one-fiftieth of that amount That couamft financial affairs ate in a terrible condition, and then Is no money to buy with. The wont of It Is that then docs not appear to be any prospect of Improvement. The lumber which has been taken by South America la now thrown upon the northern market, caus ing a glut In the market, and conse quently s weak demand and low prleea. —Savannah News. THE OHIO CAMPAIGN. The political campaign that Is about to open In Ohio promises to be almost os interesting as the memorable can vass of Illinois by Lincoln and Douglass. That was fought on the slavery Issue, and was regarded as having a more im portant bearing on national than on state politics. In Ohio the contest will be over a national issue, namely, tariff for protection vs. tariff for revenue, the respective champions being the republi can and democratic nominees for Gov ernor. Even within the state the national bearings of the election are likely to be of leading Interest. Both the republican candidate and the pros pective democratic candidate have planted themselves squarely on the tar iff issue and propose to fight it out on that line. Governor Campbell accepts in advance of his nomination, the gaunt let thrown down by Major McKinley, according to the following statement of bis reported In the New York Times: I believe that 1 shall be re elected; I am aa ■anguine of that s, a man can be of any event which la to occur five months lathe future and which la subject to many Inter vening changes In the current of sfTSlri. I base my predictions purely upon the general dissatisfaction with Ihe federal administra tion and with the financial and commercial condition of the country; but more especial ly upon the direct fight we will make upon Major McKln’cy as the author and exponent of the so-called McKinley bill. While the silver question, the state administration, and other matters will be talked ot at'he outset or the campaign upon the stomp, yet before the speaking campaign Is two weeks old all other matters will probably be lost stgbtofsavesnt except that Major McKin ley Is the prophet of higher tariff and the au thor ol the bill which b nrs bis name. Upon lids as the Issue we will gn'n in every county In the state, with the poealble exception of a few counties where the larger cities are situated. The rural population of Ohio is Just waking up to the enormities of the Mc Kinley theory of protection, and I am sura wa shall make large gains In all of tbs farm ing counties. The weakness of the Democrats In the larger cities, which is admitted by Gov. Campbell, is accountable for on two grounds. The cities where manufacto ries abound are the beneficiaries of pro tection. And in Cincinnati there Is • strong faction of the Democrats, repre senting a corrupt ring which Campbell broke up, ‘that is bitterly opposed to him and that may be relied upon to work against him. As to candidates, the re publicans have some'advantage, because there la no opposition to their candidate on personal grounds. Yet the cause of the oppoeitlon to Campbell In Cincinnati may add to hla strength in the rural dis tricts. It was predicted that the third party or farmers' alliance would play an im portant part In the Ohio election, but ac cording to present Indications the farm ers will be left free to vote as they choose. Scarcely more than one tn eight of Ohlo’a voters belongs to the al liance, and the organisation could not be brought to unite on either candidate. Aa Campbell !■ strongest among the farmers, It is well that they have put a candidate of their own In the field. The Ohio campaign borrows extra Im portance from Its Important bearing on the presidential nomination. Neither Democrats nor Republicanism fully sat isfied with the candidates they now have In the field. Either of the contestants for the governorship of Ohio would be an eligible candidate for president, and whichever proves successful will be very sore of a nomination by his party far the first or second place on Its ticket. The political fate ot Cleveland and Hill, and of Harrison and Blaine are closely Interwoven with Ohio politics, which will bo watched with keen Interest all over the Union. THE STREET RAILWAY. The suggestions contained in yester day’s Times-Recobdxb relative to the street railway, met with almost univer sal approval, with the exception of a few whose opposition is the best evi dence of the merits of the scheme pro posed; and who have “axes to grind” on other lines. About the only material objection made to The Times-Recobdkr’s out line was the too high valuation placed upon the property for purposes of an option, and aa a basis for Interest charges, the figures $30,000 being re garded by many of our best posted men as double the actual value of the line. Their estimate la based upon the sell ing value of the 35 pound mils, which have recently been sold in large quanti ties by the 8., A. A M. railroad at $1,- 500 per mile; and the cost of the trolley wire, say $500 per mile; which in the aggregate falls several thousand dollars short of $15,000. Indeed several gentlemen favor the removal of the llbe altogether, so that Americas can take a clean start upon an honest, square basis that don't have the smell of humbug and jobbery about it Gentlemen expressed th eir belief that the line can be duplicated new for $15,- 000, and that the present outfit Is high priced at $10,000. • In view of the weight of these opin ions, The Tiues-Recobdeb believes that tbs estimate of $1,500 aa Interest on the $30,000 valuation should be reduced one-half, so that the interest charge should be pat $T50. The estimate of $30 per day for ex penses Is considered by well Informed gentlemen as rather high also, and a re duction of $3 to $5 per day might safely be made In this estimate of running ex penses. Out of the agitation of this question some good will surely result, and Tuk Times-Recordek urges our business men to give it thought, and give their thought expression. BEALL & OAKLEY.

THE LOTTERY CONTEST IN LOUISIANA Though the rote which is to finally decide the fate of tho Louisiana lottery Is not to be taken in that state until next April, the campaign has already begun there, and an indication of the bltterneea of the contest is found In the fact party lines are already disregarded, and they will be entirely lost sight of as the campaign progresses. The voters will range themselves In “lottery” or "anti- lottery" factions, and no scheme of bribery or corruption will be left untried by the unscrupulous managers of the gigantic monopoly whloh has for years disgraced Louisiana, to perpetuate itself. It Is estimated that a corruption fund of not less than a million dollar* will bo used by tho - desperate lottery people, who are fighting tor their lives, and the vtrtneof the better classes of the voters of the state will be tested as never before. The contest will be watched with anxiety outside the limits of the state, where popular sentiment ■gainst this gigantic evil has become thoroughly aroused. BAM JONES ON “THE CENTURY. 1 Sam Soncs was In Kansas City last week, and a reporter of the Kansas City Star managed to waylay him and get a very interesting Interview from the bel licose and original divine. Among other things Hr. Jones said, in answer to the question: "What do you think of F.

Senator Carlile Is always sensible when he talks. He Is a wise and very strongman—a statesman. In a reefint interview he said no one could predict now who would be the democratic nominee for the presidency. He sees the hand of Hill at work, and says: A great deal*111 dtpend upon tht action of New York. Her delegation will of course, be very potent In the convention, and if It comes Instructed for a New York man the delegates tram other slates will either take him or go ontalds of the slate for a can II- date. There aft many .who think that the party hoe gone to New York for fta candi date often enough, but the vote of that state tun always been naoetsa>y to elect the nom inee, and may continue to bo necessary here after. I He does not believe that the third par ty will have much controlling Influence | next year. Its success, It anywhere, must be In the republican northwest He does not think Hr. Cleveland’s silver letter will necessarily Injure his pros pects. It made him friends and he lost friends by it Hr. Carlisle docs not fail o say that In his opinion it would "be exceedingly bad policy to permit the silver question to become the paramount one In the campaign of 1892. It is a question upon which there ore honest differences of opinion In the party, while there are other questions of equal oi greater Importance upon whloh we are thoroughly united.” We take these to be timely and wise utterances. The third party may be possibly of more consequence than the able Kentuckian row thinks. Bat he is surely wise and prudent when he depre- oatot the folly of making the fight in upon tho "free silver coinage" in the fane of widespread dlvlsoa in the democratic party on that subject.
