Amerious, Ga., July 29, 1891. SENATOR R. Q. MILLS. If the rumors from Texas are well founded, it appears that Mr. Mills will soon reach the goal of his ambition by getting into the United States Senate; and will thus he out of the speakership Richmond Terminal Company had the bottom almost knocked out of it, selling as low as 104, having dropped 25 per cent, since last Saturday. A great deal of the stock has been forced on the market; and it is rumored that it has been sacrificed to pay up loans made upon it to Calvin S. Brice, one of the leading railroad Wall street manipulators, who is the millionaire senator from Ohio. Holders of Terminal »t»ck say the company is in better condition than it over was, and that there is evidently an attempt by somebody to hammer the stock. A popular rumor attributes the hammering to Jay Gould, but nobody knows what he's doing, or whether he's connected with this operation at all. Terminal stock offers a great temptation to men of large means who are ambitious for control of great properties. At the present price of Terminal there are hun dreds of men iu the country rich enough The sudden retirement of .Senator Rea gan two months ago, and the appoint ment by Governor Hogg of Henry Chil ton to fill out bis unexpired term, was a sore disappointment to Mr. Mills and his friends, and it was the general belief j to control this immense property, the that Chilton would make his mark dur-j actual cost of which is greater by many inghis appointive term and acquire a | millions than the fortune of the richest prestigo which Mr. Mills would be uu-1 man on the globe. able to overcome when the legislature j There are $70,000,0)0 of the Terminal met two years hence. j ■***. and a fraction over half the stock But now that the Texas Legislature is j "ill control it.

The outcome probably will be that whose opposition was to be feared, and j somebody will scoop the control, unless that in consequence of the division of j President Inman rallies to tho support ! of his pet enterprise and buys the stock himself. It would be a serious calamity for this system to pass into the control of Jay Gould or some Eastern millionaire inimical to Southern development; for the interests of the South would be far safer with this property in the hands of Southern men. The public will await with eager in terest the outcome of the present flurry in the stock of the most gigantic enter prise now existing in the country. the Southern vote. THE CONVICT LEASE. An Interview with Mr. Clifton, of Chatham, chairman of the penitentiary committee, says the Atlanta Journal, in dicatea the probability of some action at this session of the legislature in refer ence to the convict lease, *fhe opposi tion to this system has always been great, but it grows constantly more in tense, and was never before so deter mined as it is uow. It is safo to say that the convict lease system in Georgia is doomed, and that it will be abolished as soon as it can bo done legally. YVhether or not the pres ent lease can he immediately abolished and all the convicts restored to the caru of tho state, it Is difficult to say, but it Is quite clear that no convict lease will ever be renewed in this state. The peo ple of Georgia will tolerate this system no longer than existing contracts may oblige them to do so. The system lias been tried in this state for moro than twenty yoars, and we have had quite enough of it. Tho day of its death is rapidly ap proaching, aud it will be a happy day for Georgia. NO IUSHOI* VET. Georgia Episcopalians seem to have hard lack in getting a Bishop. Tho latest news from the committee,which went to Laramie to seo Bishop Talbott, is that he is likely to decline; and the committee leaves there to-day without securing any satisfactory assuranco of his intention. To au outsider it seems very strange that a man with enough intelligence to be a Bishop can't say “yes,” or “no” at once; and tho peculiarity of the situation is increased by the circumstance that this is tho Second case in a short time where Georgia Episcopalians have elect ed a Bishop without knowing before hand, a& they should, whether he would accept, and had a long suspense to follow, awaiting the evolution of one of two simple monosyllables from the Inner consciousness of tho gentleman elected. The position of Bishop of Georgia is one of sufficient dignity and importance to justify any man in accepting to whom it might be offered; and it Is to be re gretted that these prelates have not set that value upon the offer which its dis tinguished merits would seem to require. GROVER NOT IN IT. After a groat llourish of trumpets about ox-President Cleveland taking the •tump in Ohio for Campbell, it turns out that he Is not going to speak at all, and that for the very good reason that he has never been asked, and the still greater reason that ho wouldn't speak if he was asked. Mr. Cleveland is quoted os saying: “I am convinced that Governor Campbell CHEAPER COTTON AND LESS DEBT. While tho outlook for cotton is not so llattering as a year ago, and no such prices will likely be obtained as pre vailed last season, yet as an offset to this mu$t be borne in mind the fact that no crop of cotton was ever made so cheaply as this, and if it only brings 0 or 7 cents, it hasn’t cost as much to make it, by a c4nt or two, as heretofore. One of the reasons assigned by a prom inent financial authority is that the farmers have been forced Into the most rigid economy by the financial strin gency that cut off absolutely tho usual supply of monoy loaned them. According to this same authority, the farmers owe as much less thau they did a year ago as is represented by tho dif ference in the prico of cotton last year and this; or say 22 per cent less. If this is correct, the outlook is not so gloomy as tho low price of cotton would seem to indicate, for If the farmers have one-third less money this Fall, thoy owe ono-third less than they did last year, and no great harm will result from the extraordinary shrinkage. WEATHER AND COTTON The wet weather prevailing yesterday, July 2d, the first dog-day, is said to be indicative of the continuation of rain for every other of the 40 days that con stitute dog-days. If this be so, or even approximately •o, the cotton crop will be made tome days later, though the yield will be in creased, and the weight much enhanced by the moisture. It will be thousands of extra dollars in the pockets of farmers of Southwest ern Georgia that the crop in this section is always some weeks ahead of every other part of the South; and that they can thereby get fancy prices for the first few thousand bales of green cotton that come to market. Inside the next thirty days, the staple will begin to roll into Americus, and tho financial stringency lifted. By way of preparation for the early movement of cotton, several of tho banks of Americus have shut down on loans, and are getting: big cosh balancos on hand to be ready for the rush. notable of southern women, Mrs. Mar garet M. Calhoun, which took place Monday evening at the home of her son, Mr. Pat Calhoun, in Atlanta, Mrs. Calhoun was the daughter of the late General Duff Green of Dalton, Ga. Her paternal grandmother was Anna Marshall, a first cousin of Chief Justice John Marshall, and on her mother’s side •he was descended from Mildred Wash ington, a first cousin of General George Washington. Up to the time of her marriage her home was in Washington, D. C. There the social position and political weight of her father, General Green, who edited the famous “National Intelligen cer,” and her own brilliant conver sational powers, secured and established for her a foremost place in that brilliant society which flourished In the days of Clay, Calhoun and Webster. In 1830 she was married to Andrew I*. Call.oun, eldest son of Hon. John C. Cal houn, and came south to make her home, where she has ever since resided. She was 70 years old at the tirao of her death, and was therefore an eye witness to some of the most striking events in our national history, and united to these unusual opportunities the strongest men tal and moral characteristics, constitut ing her a woman of unusal mental power and capacity. This is the “see-saw” appearance of things as presented to the vision of Edi tor Dana of tho New York Sun: Tho far mers’ alliance has a plan for raislug tho price of wheat to the top notch; hut the carrying out of the plan would involve a corresponding rise in the price of bread of the working masses, whose help is sought by the alliance. At the same time, the members of the farmer*’ al liance desire to get the price of all the manufactured goods which they need down to the lowest notch; but their suc cess would mean low wages for the fac tory hands, whose assistance they are anxious to get. Rev. W. A. Candlkk, president of Emory college, will wage war against the spectacular exhibition of “King Sol omon,” at the Piedmont Exposition this fall. The result will be that immense crowds will go to seo it in consequence of this free advertisement, who might otherwise stay away. Now, if Dr. Candler is sharp, he will make a trade for a “divvy” with Sandy Cohen on the gate money, whereby the endowment of his college may be handsomely In creased. POWDER Absolutely Pure.
