Amerlcus, Ga.
Amoricus, Ga., July 8, 1891.
Tup. Emperor of Germany is visiting
hi, relatives, the royal family of• Eng
land.
Sechetaky Blaine is reported ini
proving slowly, but aorae of bis friends
doubt that he will ever be able to active
Iy re-enter politics.
Judge Chisp captured Tammany
Hall last Saturday and is now on a tour
through New York Btato where he is
sure to make friends.
The Birmingham editors having
passed some wratliy words over a small
matter have duly apoligized and are
again at peace with each other.
Tue Atlanta Journal lias sheathed its
sword and the contest is declared off.
Perhaps It is better thus as tbo rivalry
created between the friends of the con'
testants may have resulted in unkind
feelings in Borne quarters.
Now is the time when the man who Is
to take his family to the sea shore is
busy tiring matters so that no notes will
go to protest during his absence, while
the one who stays in town aqd takes it
out in loafing on the rlvor does not need
to raise money and is in a position to
watch his line of discounts, if he lias
any.
The silver issue is being clearly de
fined in the various state platforms that
are being adopted. The democrats of
Kentucky and Iowa declared unequivo
cally for free coinage, and the Ohio and
Iowa Republicans both endorsed the
law passed by tho last congress. That is
the way it will be in tho national cam-
paign. '
When Uncle Jerry Rusk got the con
trol of the weather away from the war
department the other day he made a de
cided improvement. There was a good
rain immediately afterwards and a per-
ceptable lowering of the mercury. But
Uncle Jerry is not holding hla grip. It
has grown very warm again and is as
dry and dusty as ever.
Tuere seems to be a truce between
truth and ‘falsehood since the hot
weather set In. There is not half so
much talk of expelling heretics from the
church and the “advanced" teachers are
snlld in their expounding of doctrine, |t
4s really too warm and the vacation sea
son Is upon us all, except those of us
vwho do not tnku vacations.
.Moses Bros., flankers of Montgome
ry, Ala., have falls d for a half a million.
Speculation in real oi ato in North Ala
bama and the stringency in money mat
ters is assigned as the cause. The bank
owns largo lota of land in the boom
towns which sprung up last year, and
oannot realize from it now. The bank
was a fayorito with the working people,
and many of thorn will lose the savings
of years of labor. ,
Tax hold that the Standard OH Go. is
obtaining in Germany seems to be ow
ing entirely to tho superior commercial
tact of the men who manage It, and be
cause the oil they roll is cheaper and of
•.better quality than that which comes
from Russia, yot thoro is some suspicion
of political influence In their favor.
Germany could hold a powerful lsver
of Russia, and probably force her to
abandon her French alllanie by shutting
out her oil from German markets.
There were some Minnesota Republi-
-cans the other day who declared in favor
of a reduction of the tariff on the neces
saries of life, and by so doing they
caused much disgust among the McKin
ley men. If the Minnesota Republicans
talk this way there is no longer any
reason to doubt that tariff reform is
taking'deep root in the northwestern
states, and that the Republicans will
•wake one of these fine mornings only
to find allot their sheep out*of the pen.
Tux United States of Columbia will
•end an exhibition to the world’s fair
such as would do credit to a country of
twice its population and wealth. There
seems to be a strong and growing con
tinental spirit, and the exhibits of the
Latin Republics are certain to be among
the most, interesting at the fair. It
should be the akn of Individual manu
facturers and others Interested In the
display to be made by this state to see
that it does not look beggarly beside
that of the little republic to the south
ward.
A COTTON FACTORY.
Americas needs a,cotton factory. One
that will turn out cloth of all grades,
ropes, twines and all other products of
the fleecy,
Every other town the size of Amerlcus
in the state has one or more cotton fac
tories, and all are doing a good business,
and there is no good reason why Amori-
cus should not be added to the list.
Situut^l in the heart of the cotton
produsing section with fields of the
fleecy staple growing up to the very
borders of the city, and yet every bale
of it has to be shipped to other points
to be manufactured.
With three trunk line railroads pene
trating a large area of country which
needs to be supplied with cotton fabrics
Amerlcus has every advantage for dis
pensing the output of an immense facto
ry. And with tlie completion of the S.,
A. & II. railray to Montgomery Ameri-
cus will have direct connection with the
loal fields of Alabama and the question
of fuel would not be a barrier In the
way of the success of such an enter
prise.
Here is truly a grand opening for tjie
investment of capital with advantages
which no other city in the section can
rival. The cotton is at the doors of tho
city, and coal will be in easy reach
That Amerlcus should, and with the
proper effort will rank with the larger
cities of Georgia, there is little soom left
for doubt after the most superficial in
vestigation of her natural resources for
becoming a manufacturing city. And
history shows that manufactures build
large cities.
In view of these facts Amerlcus should
bestir herself for the immediate erec
tion of a cotton factory, costing from a
half to a million dollars. With this
amount of capital invested employment
would bo-given to some five hundred or
a thousand hands, which would mean a
large increase in tho population of the
city, and the Inflow of thousands of dol
lars annually among the merchants and
all other brandies of trade.
That the {necessary amount of capital
could be raised for such an enterprise,
there’s scarcely any doubt at all, if the
proper efforts wore mane. A stock
company issuing shares of small value
could easily be formed, and tho shares
readily placed; if some of our progres
sive, enterprising, public spirited busi
ness men would get together, take hold
of the matter and give it birth.
It would mean great things for Ameri-
cus and the cotton factory should be
placed on the calendar ns the next great
move for the metropolis of Southwost
Georgia.
literature as a trade,
Some very foolish person in England
recently wrote and published a bit of
advice to educated English women, to
cease reading novels and take to writing
them. This has caused a flutter in the
dovecote and every young woman in the
United Kingdom thinks that all she
needs to win fame and fortune is pen,
ink, paper and time.
The advice to cease reading novels, at
least in the omnivorous fashion so com
mon, is probably good, but the leading
these Innocent and unsophisticated
persons Into the hard and uncertain paths
of authorship is a little too bad.
In commenting upon the matter, the
Publishers’ Circular says there are prob
ably 20,000 persons in London striving
for fame and fortune with the pen^ and
where the next dinner is to come from Is
a serious problem to a large proportion
of them. They grind away on all sorts
of pot pot boilers, and in the end, most
of them sink into the state of mere
hacks, without hope and without ambi
tion.
This is no doubt-true and It is as true,
in due proportion, of every other city as
of London. What is thotrouble? Sim
ply this, it seems to us, that authorship
is taken up"as a trade instead of being
regarded in the higher light of being a
means to the man who has a gift and-
message to convey, to use his talent
upon the highest plane of art to make
the world happier, wiser or better. Au
thorshlp should not be regarded as £
trade, and yet persons rush into it with
less regard for their own fitness than
they would show if they proposed be
coming carpenteit. Surely no one would
select the carpenters’ trade who did not
feel that ho had the capacity to uso tools,
or at least to learn to uso them* No
would think of becoming
EVIDENTLY jealous.
The New York World brings against
it; rival, the Herald, the accusation of
being subsidized by tlie Russian Gov
ernment to print matter defending it
against oharges of barb&rity. Tho
World assumes it to be a well-known
fact that Russia has subsidized organs
in European capitals and taking this as
basis of argument, rushes to the con
clusion that the Herald's St. Petersburg
correspondent Is something In the same
line.
One doesn't have to look far to see IB
this charge the foot prints of the green-
eyed monster. The Herald Is a great
newspaper and gives all the news on all
questions as no other paper In this coun
try docs.
There Is no sort of doubt that Russia
has been very hard in the treatment of
her Siberian exiles and the present per
secution of the Jews in that country is
withoutany palliation or excuse, but for
all that, there lias been no country so
much maligned and misrepresented as
Russia.
Russia occupies a kind of Ishmaeli-
tist position among European powers.
The hand of each of them is against
E’er. France has been her friend for the
past few years and is suspected of being
her ally, but that is because France has
grievance against Germany. It
only a few years back that French armies
joined with those of England and Sardi
nia in fighting Russians on tho Crimea.
Western Europe is jealous of Russian
aggression and fears its latent power,
and it has therefore been the polioy of
Western Europe to abuse Russia and all
our news from that country haa here
tofore come through Western European
channels.
It is always well to bear both sides,
and the country is-therefore Indebted to
the Herald for establishing a St. Peters
burg correspondence. The World would
do woll to emulate this enterprise of its
rival Instead of trying to persuade the
public that It is an evidence of comip-
;ion. .
designer (who did not believe that
he had ideas to express with his brush
and pencil, yet every newspaper man
knows that there are hundreds in his
own community who have a sublime
faith that they have the capacity to sue
ceed in literature and who have not a
fair command of the English language,
to say nothing of the imagination and
tho practical knowledge of the world
necessary to guide the pen to its best
work. In the ideal future a sentinel
will stand at the gate of the temple of
literature and will admit no one who has
not a mission—something to say that
the world should hear, and the capacity
to say this In the form in which the
world should have it Then there will
bo less starveling penny-a-liners, less
trash books and a higher standard of
public taste and criticism.
Mr. Murat Halstead says In tbo
Brooklyn Standard Union; “It la not
probable that ex-Govcrnor Forakcr of
Ohio will ever be able to conduct him
self as a politician so as to secure the
unmitigated approbation of the Demo
cratic Party.” Halstead knows Foraker
' intimately and has a slight acquaintance
with the Democratic party. He knows
the history of the ballot box forgery case
In Ohio and Foraker’a connection there

Axkwspaper man of Pittsburg says
that the best amusement in life is
rational conversation whioh depends
upon rational thinking. He denounces
the reading habit and says reading “en
courages conversation and atopa think
ing. The victim of thla habit lets the
printer do bia talking and hia thinking.
The more one reads the lest one thinks.
For, aurely, there it no real thinking
without independence. Nobody ia think
ing when he ia only holding a book in
his hand and letting somebody else do
his thinking. You can’t think with
your eyes. Great readers arc very often
mere prisons of information. They let
nothing out and benefit nobody with
their knowledge. Set these bookworms
to teach andfthey make a failure of it
They can’t even talk. The reading habit

through tbs covers of • book. As old
Omar said, “burn ths book!”
WHY NOT A SOUTHERN MAN 1
“Wby not q southern man?” asks the
New York Herald, speaking of the pro
bable nominee of the Democratic party
for the presidency, and it adds: “The
ablest mqn in the Democratic party are
from the south. We note this in both
branches of congres."
These men of whom the Herald speaks
are the leaders, the brains, the backbone
and suppc»fc.of the democracy; mon of
the JoffeMR], Jackson, Cass, Benton
and Calhoun stamp, who combine the
qualities of modern atatesmanshtp, and
the old-time, slmon pure democratic
principles. They wculd nearly all make
good presidential timber, and the Her
ald Is surprised that the south does no:
insist on its rights.
The men of the south considor the
success of cho democratic party above
personal gain. They sacrifice their am
bition to the supremacy of democracy,
and when that end ia attained, and re
publicanism, which keeps alive a ground
less projndlce, is rooted out, then the
southern demoorats wilt ask recognition
in presidential nominating conventions.
Until that time arrives they are satisfied
to work with the rank and file.
