A GRAVE SITUATION.
The Times-Rkcordeb feels impelled
to call attention to a very serious trouble
in store for the South, which will result
when the West shall have absorbed for
the movement of its wheat crop the
bulk of the reduced volume of currency
available in New York for the general
crop movement.
Thirty-live million dollars were re- j unequal tariff burdens laid upon them,
quired to move the crops last year; and j but also from low prices for their pro-

| Here is a splendid opportunity for
j some old bachelor of Americus to es-
| capo the tax which the legislature is
the I tr y in S *° pl ace u P on that species of hu
manity. The advertisement is from the
Valdosta Times, as follows;
•yyANTS A HUH BAN IX—All old bachelor
ried over from the last crop.
This emergency seems to demand that
the business men of Georgia meet to
gether in council and confer on some
method of preparing for the trouble that
will surely come, unless proper precau
tions are taken to provide against it.
Let there be a convention of leadiug
business men in Atlanta, to consider this
financial constriction, and dev se ways
and means to remedy it if possible.
“In the multitude of counsellors b
safety.”
The Ti.mes-Rei oi:i)KR suggests Tues-
•day, August 11, and calls upon the pres*
of Georgia to lend Its aid in awakening
the people to a proper senso of the dan
ger, and urging them to act before the
(movement of cotton begins and the
irisis is actually upon us.
The Times-Recokdeu has no desire
to pose as an alarmist, but feels that it
would be derelict in its duty not
sound a note of warning.
It is not the part of wisdom to sit su
pinely anu wait until trouble comes.
“The prudent man foresees the evil
and bides himself, but tlio simple pass
On^ud arc perished.”
The ussiguees of Moses's bank, Mont-
goraery, Ala., which assigned July 0th,
have filed a schedule of assets of the late
firm. The assignees make no estimate
of value, but the amount is placed nomi
nally at $0,000,000, which consists
largely of stocks, bonds, real estate and
lands distributed in various sections of
Alabama. The liabilities are placed at
$1,100,000. The creditors now propose
to form a trust company, all to take
shares to the amount of their claims,
and the plan is thought to be a feasible
one and likely to result in securing the
holders of claims against loss. There
has been no other financial trouble here
on account of the failure of this bank.
Other banks have not been in tho least
affected, and business U going along as
usual. In olden times Moses led the
people out of tho wilderness; now Moses
has Iqd them into the brush, and the
people are preparing to lead him out.
Thus Is tho leader led.
The Augusta Chronicle calls attention
to the fact that there is a bad spirit
abroad in the State, stirring up antaj
onism.5 between the county and the city,
between the farmers and tho merchants,
between the farmers and the corpora
tions, and between tho men w ho labor
and their employers. If there is such a
spirit abroad in tho State, and the evi
dence is not lacking, there ought to be a
combination of the good people of Geor
gia, of every calling and occupation, to
etrangle it.-—Columbus Enquirer.
The Boston Herald (Independent)
hopes that Mr. Crisp may be chosen
speaker. It considers him, of all the
candidates, the one best qualified for
the office. Amdng his qualifications it
instances “a general courtesy of bearing
and a disposition of fairness toward his
opponents.”
The Minnesota Alliancemen have dis
covered that they cannot participate In
the great wheat ooroer proposed |by the
MuUer clrrnlar. A Minnesota statute
enacted la 1888 makes the proposed ac

position to command fiom Europe any
amount of gold we are likely to need for
interior purposes, by virtue of the ex
traordinary purchase of grain which the
continental nations will have to make iu
our markets. While, therefore, we
may not experience a reasonably aotlve
money market, we see no reason for ap
prehending any embarrassing stringency.
Assuming then that the harvest turns
out as it now promises, it seems safe to
anticipate for the second half of tho
year a run of active and prosperous btisi-
New York Commercial Bulletin.
WHO WILL IT BE?
After reading Mr. Pat Calhoun's
speech in Talbott county, last week, the
Charleston World concludes that the
vice-president of the Richmond & Dan
ville will be in the raco for governor of
Georgia next year.
We learn by tho grape vino telegraph
that the opposition to Governor Nor-
then is somewhat anxiously casting
about for a candidate with whom to de
feat the present executive. Prior to
Mr. Calhoun’s appointment to high
corporative office which ho now holds,
there was reason to believe that lie
would accept the gubernatorial nomina
tion were it tendered him. Within tho
last two or three weeks, however, Mr.
Calhoun’s relations to the public and
corporate interests have changed, and
it is improbable that he now looks for
ward to immediate political honors.
It is uot likely that he considers seek
ing any public trust less remote than
the seat iu the United States senate,
which Gordon will vacate in 1897. It
has been given out by Mr. Calhoun's
friends that ho will not aspire to suc
ceed even Senator Colquitt. The man
who will opposo Gov. Nortlien next
year has not yet boon named, but, If wo
ware guessing, wo would say that his
name is something like Capt. E. P. How
ell’s.—Savannah 'Times.

The’ editor of the Early County News
is in hard luck. He had packed his lin
en duster, and was all ready for the trip
to Washington and New York with the
Weekly Press Association, but his passes
failed to reach him in time, and of
course he couldn’t go. But Editor
Howard was not to be put out in this
style. When the passes did come he
boarded the train for a turn to Macon
and Atlanta, and feels just as well
as if he had been to New York.
During tho lato session of the Ala
bama Press Association, Senator John T.
Morgan delivered a speech, in which ho
said: “If every family in Alabama was a
subscriber to some good newspaper, I
would consider that we were fifty years
in advance of the present.” This solid
chunk of wisdom is commended to those
people in this city aud county who don’t
subscribe to The Times-Recorder, or
who read their neighbors’ papers.
The Augusta Evening News is twit
ting Mr. Twitty bill, or Bill Twltty, as
the case may be, on the fact that he re
cently refused to have the 10
per cent, lawyer’s fee clause strick
en out of a note which he
took from a farmer to whom he lent
money; a fact which the Athens Ledger
says it can prove. Dr. Twitty prescribes
his medicine for other people, but don't
want any of it himself.
For the second time the committee on
general judiciary of the house of repre
sentatives has reported adversely on the
bill to put sleeping car, express and tel
egraph companies under the control of
the railroad commission of the state in
the matter of regulation of the rates.
This probably means the defeat of the
bill, which, after two full hearings be
fore the committee, has met with a fail
ure each time.
A CONSPIRACY AGAINST TIIE SOUTH.
Richmond Terminal stock and bonds
were firm yesterday, and the efforts of
tho bears on Wall street to force the
prices down again were unavailing.
In the same connection may be men
tioned the well-grounded suspicion that
there is iu New York a conspiracy
against the south—a conspiracy to delay
the Industrial development of that sec
tion and whenever possible to provent
the investment of money here in any
enterprise. The conspiracy is said to
have originated by tho promoters of
largo land and investment schemes in
tho west, Of course the resources of
the south are now too well -known for
that section to suffer very much from
such a conspiracy, but at the same time
it would bo possible to prevent the In
vestmeut of large sums of money there.

It i» said that McKinley will make a
strong appeal for “boodle” iu his Ohio
campaign, which he says will be uu
usually “expensive.” He says that the
steel kings of Pittsburg, who were
pected to come down handsomely, pre
sumably for value received in his tariff
bill, havo been appealed to in vain, and
that as enough money cannot be raised
in Ohio, outside aid is imperative.
Neither Mr. Gould nor Mr. Sago is
believed to bo in the Terminal stock.
Tho rumor never had any official con
firmation, but the course of tho prices
of the securities in the market gave it
some plausibility, as the present tumble
is in accordance with Jay** usual style
of scooping stocks.
The Globe-Democrat says the Repub
licans will be satisfied if In 1892 they
carry the states carried In 1888, and five
out of tho six states admitted since
then. That is a great deal more than
last year's elections and present pros
pects entitle them to expect.
