Weekly,OneYeah, • Weekly, Sue Months, For advertising rates address Bascom Myrick, Editor and Manager, THE TIMES PUBLISHING COMPANY, 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 with. He^s doubtlsss oorrect in his con clusion that the Democratic party will oever |ive Foraker its unmitigated ap- 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 blinda people. You can't aes the world' 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. BEALL & OAKLEY. BARGAINS! And Special Prices still the rule of the with us.
