Amcricus, Ga., August 7, 1891. &■- WM' GOOD FOB U'DONAU). Mr. McDonald of Sumter county in troduced a resolution to appoint a joint committee >t ten from tbo house and five from the senate to take into consid eration the advisability of an early ad journment, as Buch was of groat impor tance. Dr. Chappel opposed tho resolution. He thought it was not business, and that they should remain until the business of the state had been transacted. Mr. Iteid of Putnam said that tho most important questions of tho state had not yet been touched upon. Tho education al question had not yot been reached, and other important matters had not been attended to. Sumter county lias reason to ho proud of her representatives, and especially of Mr. McDonald, because of his attitude on the final adjournment motion Wed nesday. Mr, McDonald has shown his level bead by the fewness of his bills, by his discreet silence, his absorption of thc wisdom of Solomon, who said, “A fool Is known by tho multitude of ids words;"and his accurate conception of the etornal fitness of things, by urging the “great Importance of an early ad journment.” In this he was opposed, as might have . been expected, by “Doctor” Chappel, the same whose tonguo is a pcrpotual motion machine, and who wanted to eject newspaper reporters from the honse because they properly criticised •ome of his Inanities. The true status of affairs will bo un derstood from Mr. Reid’s statement that the most important questions had not yet been touched upon. If Mr. Reid had said that none of the Important af fairs had been reached and wonld not be in thirty days more at the present time killing pace, he would have been noaror the truth. The only question of any Importance ia to redlstrict tho state, and then ad journ. The yeople of Georgia are along suf fering and forbearing poople, but some of these days, away next fall, when this legislature shall have killed a few more months passing two-for-a-nlckel bills, the people will rise In their wrath, and more on Atlanta In a body, and resort to mob violence to rid the state of tho nulsanoo of a biennial session legislature that sits the year round, and sighs be- ' cause there are not thirteen months In the year for it to spread itself in. Introduce your resolution every day, Brother McDonald, until you mako Rome howl. THE WHEAT TRUST DEFEATED. It appears that the great wheat trust which was about to bo organized among the farmers of the northwest has been nipped in the bud through the discovery of an anti-trust law among the statutes of Minnesota. Singularly enough the measure was introduced by the great Al liance leader, Ignatius Donnelly, In 1887, and it may be that It has served no other purpose than to thwart a scheme which its author, do doubt, would do all in his power to further. Tho law is, in fact, a constitutional amendment, and there fore is not likely to be repealed. It reads: Any combination of person., either *» In dividuals, as members or ofilcera of any cor poration to monopolize the markets for food products Id this state, or to Interfere wltn or to restrict the freedom of such mar ket, Is hereby declared to be a criminal • ■piracy and shall be punished In' such man ner as the legislature may provide. It is plain that such a combination as is contemplated by tho Muller circular would bo a criminal conspiracy in the eyes of tlie law, in Minncssota at least. Hence the circulars that were sent Into that state were destined to no better fate than that of the seed which was sown on stony places. The fatal obsta cle was not discovered till July 28, too late to save the large expense of issuing such au immense number of circulars. Of course this law applies only to one state, hut it is not improbable that a sim ilar one will be found on searching the statutes of some other of the great wheat growing states. But if Minneso ta cannot join tho trust the scheme must fall through. There is no hopo for it, unless tlie wheat growers should be al most unanimous in supporting it. THE SAFE WAV. President T. B. Neal, of the Neal Loan & Banking Company, lias received a letter from his brother-in-law, Mr.'P. B. Cash, at Shreveport, La., who is a large planter on Red river lands, perhaps the best cottou lands In the United States, in which the writer urges farmers not to hold their cotton. Mr. Cash mado money last year by selling early, and he is going to stick to the same policy this year. He says: “My crops are the best on both places I ever saw up to date, and are about as early as last year. I shall make as many bales on either place as I did on both places last year. “You saved me several thousand dol lars last year by Insisting on my selling early. My motto now is, pick fast, gin early and sell quick."—Constitution. MAJOR BOOT’S OPINION. Major Sldnoy Root of Atlanta, speak ing of the suspension of Mr. A. Baeker of New York, an old friend of his, says In reply to tho question: “To what do you attribute the failure ?" “Future replied Mr. Root. “Non- sonsci Mr. Backer has not failed. He has, I conjecture, from $4,000,000 to 45,000,000 in round assets. Of the three banks mentioned, I know two—the Me chanics and the Chemical—both sound and conservative. Tho Chemical Is tho only bank that did not suspend during the war, and I consider it the strongest In America. All of them will aid Mr. Backer'to resume business. The sus pension doubtlessly occurred because of the stringency caused by the need of money to move the crops from the west and sonth.” “Do yoa.think there Is any cause for alarm In financial matters 7” “Well, from a large experience and wide observation, I can see no reason for distrust Oar bank men are mighty . sensible, and because they may find it necessary to be conservative In discounts just now, it la by reason of the coming and pressing temporary need for money to move the crops. “You may remember that Cleveland’s .administration accumulated about $140,- <00,000 of Idle money In the treasury. 'Now during the stringent season, the .-government deposited $100,000,000 of this surplus In the best banks in the ■country, for which ample security was exacted. Not a dollar was lost. Yet Cleveland was furiously assailed for this. So, when Harrison came In, the govern, meat kept its money In Its own vaults, sad now it has no surplus which conld be used. “In spite of this strange policy of our ‘government, I bare the strongest confi dence in onr bank* and commercial men. No, l see no cause for alarm.” Toe White Star line steamer, Majestic, arrived at New York Wednesday, having crossed tho Atlantio In five days, eigh teen hours and eight minutes, Beating the record fay fifty-eight minutes. Two eminent citizens of the country have lately disappeared from the public view—Hon. Henry W. Blair and Rev. Samuel Small. A NOTE OF WARNING. Tlie mysterious abduction in New York of George Smith, an attractive young man, by sevoral unknown women, is ouo of tho sensations of the day. After this no man can feel safo. The women may swoop down unexpectedly, chloroform him, bundle him into a car riage and tako him off to some secure place, where ho will bo at their mercy. Strangers will bo in still greater danger. Georgians visiting New York will not find it safo to go out alone. Their man ly charms will embolden tho Amazon women in that city to run any risk in order to capture them, and they will stand small chance of being rescued by tho police. If this sort of thing is to go on, no man will he safo unless he is old or ugly. The Times-Recoddei: feels It a duty to warn its home readers of the danger that may await the several good looking Amerlcus merchants who aro now in Now York, ostensibly laying in their fall stock. Who knows but that one or more of thoso handsome fellows who so lately loft this city for New York may be kidnapped by thoso fast Now York girls, who scorn to feel that forco is bet ter than persuasion.

Mu, Pat Calhoun, who was inter viewed in Now York nbout the racket kicked up in Georgia over the Central's order to express all funds to the treas urer of the Richmond A Danville Rail road Company at Washington, explains that this Is only temporary, and that the treasurer will be removed to Atlanta lu- sldoof three weeks,and all the cash not only of tho Georgia lines, but of the Virginia, Alabama A Carolina lines as well, will be sent to Atlanta and dis bursed from that point.

They will discuss the Alliance platform, In cluding the sub treasury schem.e, and the Jaint debate will take placo at Bates- burg on the 10th or 20th of August. This will be a very interesting discus sion, and as Batesburg Is only about forty miles from Augusts, that city and community will doubtless be well repre sented when the yenng Georgia con gressman goes over to tackle the veteran senator from Carolina on the great politi cal Issue of the day.
