Amcricus, Ga. f August 1, 1891. “Uncle Ben” Dugoeb, a noted man of Fannin county, died on Thursday at his home. He has been quite prominent for some years as the only white Repub lican in the Legislature; and was a man of strong personality and undoubted in tegrity. Actor E/>h /.v Booth is now regarde 1 as a smoking ruin. That is to say he has smoked so much that his friends fear that he has utterly ruined his health and may havo to retire from the stage and givo James Owens O'Conner chance. THE GEORGIA PIS ESS. A COTTON CONVENTION Following is the resolution adopted by ’ the South Carolina convention calling Burglars have been getting in tlieir the Alliance of the Southern States to work at Fort Valley the past week, and meet in Atlanta in a cotton convention: several houses have been broken into Resolved, First, That we. the stute Alii- and robbed.

His Americas friends send him greet ings, and wish his speedy recovery and a louglife. 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. While some of the Georgia editors are inquiring why the Atlanta Herald doesn’t come, the latter journal is mak ing a similar inquiry concerning its ed itor-in-chief, Rev. Sam W. Small. It be gins to look like the editorial parson has “put up a job” on the Herald and the public. of a cotton convention la the city of Atlanta, Ga., commencing on the first Wednesday In September nexl Hecond, That at this meeting ed: (a; the cot lated and co itrolled handling of the crop Improved?

Fi«th, That the Colored Alliance of the cot- touHtatesare Invited to send representa tives from each of its State organizations. The secretary Is Instructed to send all cotton growers an iuvlfat.on to participate in said The farmers of the country can un doubtedly regulate the cotton acreage of cotton if they will. This was urged upon them last year when it became evi dent that an immense crop was made, but no attention was paid to it. The movement suggested by the South Caro lina Alliance is a good one, and every State ought to be well represented. A 2.70-pound turtle made its appear ance in Dawson Tuesday, shipped from Brunswick. It was divided up, and the whole town enjoyed turtle soup for din ner that day. 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 *of Mr. Charles A. Dana of tho New York Sun, who knifed Cleveland in 1888, sup ported Bon Butler as a Blaine annex iu 1884, and knifed Hancock in 1880, hav ing any just influence in determining who shall bo the Democratic candidate in 1892 is a splendid illustration of the concentrated essonce of political gall and wormwood. Tiiat was an interesting scene in the house Thursday when Mrs. Felton was admitted to the floor. It was a scene which those who were there will not for get. For tho first time in the history of Georgia a woman was extended the priv ileges of tho house. All Georgia will agree that Mrs. Felton, of all women in the state, was the right ono (o receive such honor. Tnic TniKH-HrcoKimH Is the very best paper Amerlcua has ever hml. The people are to bo congratulated.—Constitution. 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. —Springfield Union. 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. HON. J. J. INGALLS. This distinguished ex-senator, proba bly the most gifted speaker in the Uni ted States, will delivor an address at the 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- tinguished an orator. Let all come, fke occasion will I* a great Intellectual tIG CHOP AMI LITTLE MONEY. 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 Journal. CUT PRICES Still the Rule at Beall & Oakley’s. The Ishmaelite believes in teetotalism. but it does not believe that the legisla ture lias fhe constitutional light to single out the doctors and make teetotal ers out of them, with or without their consent.—Sparta Ishmaelite. We arc reliably informed that two chickens were recently hatched from one egg near Kathleen, at the home of Mr. E. E. Holland. The twins were as natural in appearance as any other chickens.—Houston Ilbme Journal. 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 accident who has hardly put aside bis swaddling clothes, and whose chief char acteristics aro cheek and gall —Fort Valley Enterprise. When talking to common-place people it is common sense to make use of com mon words. 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. w POWDER Absolutely Pure.
