Gen Phil Cook celebrated bis 74th

His Americas friends send him greet

The Solons at Atlanta seetn to imag
ine that their constituents want the rail
roads’ bankrupted, but they don’t;
the public simply want the Railroad
Commission let alone to manage tho ques
tions with tho fairness and skill that has
always heretofore characterized that
body.

It has been reported that Mr. Gould
is trying to get control of the Richmond
Terminal stock, but this report is de
nied by those who speak for Mr. Gould
and also by those who are handling the
stock in Wall street. As a rule, how
ever, Mr. Gould’s purposes aro seldom
known before they aro accomplished,
god his denials don’t count for much.
The Pittsburg Post says: “The idea

Tiiat was an interesting scene in the
house Thursday when Mrs. Felton was

agree that Mrs. Felton, of all women in
the state, was the right ono (o receive
such honor.

TueTimks-Uecoudku appreciates this
compliment all tho more because it
comes from the greatest newspaper in
tho South, and one that is getting better
every day. If tbero are a half dozen
papers in tho United States superior to
the Constitution, The Times-Kecordeu
does not know of llioir existence.
The Alliance farmers aro fooling with
dynamite in attempting to corner the
wheat market. If they succeed iu run
ning up the price, they will have the
consumers down on them, and if they do
not succeed, the farmers themselves will
be in each other’s hair. The wheat
growers In the west will probably de
feat the Alliance scheme by managing
their own business and selling their
wheat according to their own judgment.

Db. Thaaoi, of Dusseldorff,. Germany,
has issued a report which has caused
much pleasure among the believers of
Dr. Koch’s system of Inoculation as a
cure for tuberculosis. Dr. Tbamm says
that he has managed by the Koch sys
tem to bring about a complete cure in 40
percent of the casee of tuberculosis
which ho has treated, and that satisfac
tory results have occurred In 45 per
cent of other cases which he has treated
by the same system. Naturally the fol
lowers of Prof Koch are elated over this
report, which, It is supposed, will do
much to strengthen the courage of
waverers.

This distinguished ex-senator, proba

Piedmont Chautauqua at Lithia Springs,
Ga., on Thursday evening, August 0.
Subject, “Problems of the Second Cen
tury of Our Republic.” Ample railroad
transportation will be provided for the
immense crowd that will probably greet
the distinguished speaker. This will be
an oocasion that no one should neglect,
as probably in a lifetime no such oppor
tunity will be afforded to listen to sodia-

is a serious question with a great
many who observe the signs of the
times, if some disaster that would cut
off half the growing cotton crop wouldn’t
prove a blessing to the planters and to
the south in general.
The very low price of cotton prevail
ing now is said to bo caused by the fact
that over 1,000,000 bales of last year’s
enormous cotton crop is held over, while
the growing crop promises to be one of
the largest ever produced. The acreage
is great and the seasons have been
propitious.
If prices drop lower than they are
now the crop from this year will not
pay the cost of production, and however
line the crops may be the planters will
meet with disaster.
That is a blue picture which it is
hoped time will improve. It is three
months yet before tho cotton picking
season will be under full headway, and
something may happen to improve the
market before then.
However,the lesson of over-cropping
is again very forcibly impressed upon
the Southern planter. With half the
acreage devoted to cotton that was given
the staple this year, and the rest of land
planted in corn or other crops, the
planter would probably realize as much
on Ills cotton as ho will realize urder ex
isting conditions, and tho other crops
would havo been a clear gain.
If tho lower price of cotton forces the
cotton planters to raise their own food
products It will, in the long run, prove a
blessing.
JUDGE DICKSON OF NEWTON.
Notwithstanding the fight made on
Governor Northen’s appointment of
Capers Dickson to tho judgeship of New
ton county court,bo was confirmed by a
most decisive vote. This was as it
should have bccu. Apart from the em
inent fitness of Judge Dickson, which
would of itself have sufficed to satisfy
the minds of the senate of tho propiicty
of the appointment, It was conclusively
shown that whatever be the prejudice
against our worthy governor in some
questions, lie is given credit even by his
opponents for conscientously discharg
ing the duties of his high office, and
seeking to do the very best he can for
the people of the state in the appoint
ment he n akes. He has acted in all
cases with great caution and delibera
tion, and has probably made as few mis
takes as any governor who preceded
him.
If Governor Xorthen nover does worse
than to appoint such men as Capers
Dickson to office, his official recstd will
be one of which he may well be proud.
A negro was convicted at Perry the
other day and fined $10. or three months
in the chain gang, for stealing some
peaches from an orchard. The specific
charge was trespass.
So far the sale of watermelons has
brought less than #:I00 to Perry, though
*:J,000 would not be more than a fair
price for the car loads that have beeu
sold and heard from —Houston Home

We arc reliably informed that two
chickens were recently hatched from

The molon growers all over Sou th
Georgia have suffered losses on their
shipments this season. Those who were
early in the markets received good re
turns, but later shipments have turned
out badly and the growers are greatly
discouraged.
The idea of little Tommie Watson try
ing to read such true and tried Demo
crats as Crisp out of the party, is a spec
tacle calculated to give one an extreme
case of nausea. Watson is a political

swaddling clothes, and whose chief char
acteristics aro cheek and gall —Fort

1IY THE YEA 11.
The Georgia Legislature is settling
dow n for a session to last the balance of
the year, judging from the Hood of bills
pouring in daily, very few of which are
worthy the paper on which they are
written.
Apart from reapportioning the con
gressional districts of the state at this
session, the Legislature might have ad
journed finally and for good last Decem
ber. Hasn’t some legislator the nerve
to rise in bis place and give notice that
ho purposes to introduce daily after to
day a resolution of final adjournment?
Surely a majority of the Georgia Legis
lature does not favor an interminable
session; and such men should fifcht It
and urge prompt action and adjourn
ment.
