For advertiaing rates address Bascojc Myrick, Editor and Manager. THE TIMES PUBLISHING COMPANY, Amerlcus, Ga. Americus, Ga., July 31, 1801. When a dollar drops into the national treasury these days Secretary Foster feels as proud as a country editor who has just receipted for a year's subscrip tion in advance. If the recent general rains will have the effect of shortening the production of cotton and thereby raising the price of what is raised, they will bo a god send to the country. Thebe is said to be <« $20,000,000 sur plus in the New York banks. The coun try would be much better off if it were distributed among the people, but its ex istence is reassuring. The crops will bring it out. the best authority in cial questions, by reason of its excep tional facilities for getting at the plans of Wail street and the east, had a strong article yesterday on the subject of “the money sharks and the south,*’ in which is shown pretty clearly that the south has no reason to expect special favors from Wall street, so long as free silver is so solidly advocated by this section. Whether there is a systematic boycott of the south’s industrial enterprises and business, does not yet appear; there cer tainly is not unless it clearly appears to be the interest of the money sharks to make one. Hut this much is certain upon com- mou business principles: the west calls for money from the east, to move its wheat crop some thirty to sixty days United States Senator M. C. Butler and President Stokes of the state Alliance, in which the latter advocated the sub- treasury bill as the remedy for the pres ent insufficiency of the circulating medi um, and opposed state banks. Senator Butler was afraid of the con centration of power in the secretary of the treasury under the system of the sub-treasury bill, and favored state banks of issue as the better remedy. The Times-Recobdeh is glad to see such able statesmen as Senator Butler in favor of state banks of issue, because from that source it is confidently be lieved that a partial if not a complete solution of the financial question of the day is to be obtained. The issue of money by state banks, un der proper safeguards and restrictions, ahead of the movement of the cotton j is believed by Tiie Times-Kecokdkb to crop of the south, and if there is any be the “something better” than the sub- shortage of currency, the south will ' treasury bill, which allianceraen profess have to sustain the burden of the short- j their willingness to accept; and it is an a g 0a j encouraging sign to see that not only What remedy for tills trouble can bo | statesmen like Senator Butler, but jour- devised by our financial Solons, if any at nals like the Atlanta Constitution, and all, remains to be seen. The country is determined however to relieve a trouble that everybody admits comes from a too small volume of currency for the needs if business; and it behooves those peo- prominent bankers, favor the trial of state banks of issue as the very best so lution of the problem which is now occu pying the attention of all thinking men.

The sub-treasury bill is having many substitutes suggested, and that “some thing better” will probably come along after awhile in the shape of brand new, crisp paper bills, which will pass for A dollar everywhere.

It will bo hard to supply their places, though Clarkson, who succeeds the former as chairman, tills the bill protty well. Bon Inokh.-oi.i. says McKinley is the living embodiment of Republican prin oiples and ought to have tho presidential nomination of lus party. Bob scorns to have gone back on the Plumod Knight whom ho so eloquently championed nearly fifteen years ago. This picturo of JudgeGober which ap peared in, tho Atlanta Constitution along with tho report of tj,e Ityan trial would havo passed very woll for Judge Jim Brown. Tho artist must have got ten the judges mixed, or Judgo Gober has taken on the appearance of his dis tinguished predecessor. An Iowa philanthropist named Vaughn is in Washington preparing to agitato a schomo to pension all ox-slaves; and the Atlanta Constitution offers as an amendment to his plan, that everybody In the government ho pensioned. There Is no class legislation in such a broad provision. I.et us all he pensioned. Tint idea of restricting next year’s cotton acreage Is taking root among tho farmers. All over tho South they are passing resolutions on the subject Tho latest action reported is that of the Ogletliorpo county alliance, in which Roy. J. G. Gibson's resolution, pledging the members to plant only ten acres to the mule, in caso of n concerted plan, was adopted. A rock rolled from the higher story of a house to tho lower, strikes each atalr in succession, and perhaps takes oft an insignificant splinter, but when it roaches tho bottom It rests there with Its whole endurable weight. In like manner a heavy tax on tho necessaries of life bits the higher classes lightly i and they scarcely feel the extra charge, for they have plenty and to spare, but It bears with its full force on tboso who even in tbo best of times liud it bard to keep the larder well stored.—New York Herald. The twin cities of the great North west, St. Paul and Minneapolis, have about come to the conclusion that to put the two together would rival New York and Chicago, but when they came to select a name for the consolidated city neither would agree to accept the namo of the other. An attempt has been mado to consolidate the names Into Mlnnepanl, Paulapolis, or some other double geared affair, but so far it has been unsuccessful. Paulapolis would come nearer retaining tbo whole of each same, and Tuu Timks-Kkcoudeu would auggest It as a solution of the difficulty. Undoubtedly the great hope, and In fact the only hope, Republicans enter tain of regaining control of the govern ment, is based upon a belief that the Democratic party will split upon the silver question. Speaking of this mat ter the Nashville, Tenn, American, Democratic, says: “The people who are suffering from the tariff are having the evils of VcKinleyism ground into them ■o thoroughly day by day that there la no danger of any question of any kind being allowed to obscure the real issue. They want relief from a system which takas three dollars for a class whenever one dollar is needed for the government.” reform being proposed by those who are I posing as leaders because the true lead- eas are failing to lead. The people of the United States have fully made up their miuds that a revolu tion tivtbo present industrial and finan cial systems must be made; and if con- serratlve men, who ought to take charge of this movement aud direct it properly, Just so long as our pronfinent busi ness men keep quiet and endure the ills of the present unnatural and unnecessa ry stringency in money matters ail through the country, just so long will congress refuse to pass any measures of relief; and nothing hut a McKinley bill ground swell against the further per petration of such injustice as the people refuse to do so, the demagogues will do j now endure, will convince the powers country. The only real danger to the business interests of the country lies right here. WHY MONEY WILL BE SCARCE. Another featuro of the present finan cial situation in New York is probably of more interest in the South at present than the fluctuation of railroad shares. That city is supposed to furnish the money to move the crops of the country every year. Last year the amount of money shipped to interior points for the purpose of handling the crops of tho country was $35,000,000. It is esti mated that between forty and fifty mil lion dollars will be asked for this year, but the New York banks will not be able to furnish as much as they did in 1800. Ill the West money to move crops is needed sooner tliau it is in the South. The wheat crop i£ ready for market some time ahead of cotton. Tho South will have to suffer on account of the shortage of money this time. The West, wanting the money first, will get all ft needs, and the South must get along with what is loft. Tho president of one of tho banks here stated the other day that by the time tho West was supplied witli all tho money wanted the amount left available for the South would proba bly be live to seven millions less than that section received last year. The Farmers’ Alliance in tho South last year tried to bring about a better m ice for cotton by holding back a part of the crop. Whether they knew it or not, they were playing against the specu lators and the money power of Wall street, and they have lost. It is esti mated that 000,000 bales of last year’s crop have not been sold. Now the ex perts who make estimates in tho inter est of the speculators simply add these <100,000 bales to the estimated crop of 1801. The speculators fix the price of cotton, and the price is based on the estimated crop. This cotton held back by the Farmers’ Alliance is now esti mated as a part of this year's crop, and if sold this season will bring at least half a cent a pound loss than it would have sold for last year, unless some un expected accident cuts short the grow ing crop. The speculators arc much amused at the ease with which they have outwitted the managers of the Farmers’ Alliance.—Constitution. that be that a reform is really demanded by the people. THE GEORGIA PRESS. A little child at Cairo, Ga., died Tues day from eating matches. The State Agricultural convention is in session at Quitman this week. The Leader reports Cutlibert on a healthy boom, and the old town is put ting on the airs of a young city. The Albany News and Advertiser boasts of an immense peach crop in that section, and editor Turner is feasting on milk aud peaches. The Messrs. Cunningham, who have a large fruit farm near Grifiin, expect to realize $20,000 from their crop of peaches this year. Cutlibert is raising a fund for the pur pose of erecting a Confederate monu ment in the city park of that place. Sev eral hundred dollars have Already beeu subscribed. Tho Atlanta Herald, the new evening paper, favors the “dispensary bill,” which is before tho legislature. It is a prohibition measure, and is intended to take tho place of blind tigers.

The Colman alliance, of Randolph county, condemns the address of Presi dent O. A. Barry, .of the Confederate Veterans' Association, in which ho paid his rospects to the Third Party, and considers it nn attack upon the alliance. The Capital City Club of Atlanta lias held a solemn conclave to pass upon what is left of Steve Ryan; but the sub ject seems to have been of too great weight to digest at one sitting; so the fate of Steve the Plunger hangs in tho balance, just as hit corpus does in tho eye of the law. Some clubman, less charitable than the rest, compared Ry an's case to that of Gordon-Cumraing, the English baccarat gambler; but jus tice has so far been tempered with mercy that Steve still lives as a member of the Capital City's 400. It does seem that a club that could lionize Bullock and whitewash Postmaster Lew la, ought to swallow Ryan without greasing or pin ning back his ears, notwithstanding the size and length of Steve’s auricular ap pendages. The Monticello Constitution says: A plank in the Third Party platform, adopted at Cincinnati, says that congress shall pass a law making eight hours a day’a work. This would not weed the grass out of the cotton crop In the South. Time Is the old Justice that examinee alloffeaden. SOUTHWEST GEORGIA'S MAN. There seems to he grounds for sns* pecting that a fight will he made at the meeting of the Stato Agricultural Socie ty in Atlanta August 12, to displace President Waddell. Without taking sides in the controversy, The Times- Rkcobdkh claims that in the event of a change in the presidency, Southwest Georgia is the proper field from which to select President Waddell's successor. The reason for this Is obvious. This Is the great agricultural section of tho state, and has long been overlooked in the distribution of the offices of the so ciety; Indeed, since Alfred II. Colquitt was president and hailed from this sec tion, Southwest Georgia has had none of the honora of the society. Among the names suggested to suc ceed Col. Waddell, The Times-Recok- deii notos that of our fellow townsman Capt John A. Cobb, aud no better se lection could be made for the place. In addition to the ripe experience and large knowledge of agricultural affair* which would qualify Capt. Cobb so well for filling thia position, there la the ad ditional desideratum that Capt Cobb is not a candidate, and if elected, would give a moat faithful service to the socie ty without undertaking to uie it aa a stepping atone to political preferment. Without the knowledge on the part of Capt. Cobb of the intention af Tub Tiues-Recordeb, he la hereby named ee the candidate of Southwest Georgia for the presidency of the Stato Agricul tural Society.
