A FOOLISH SUGGESTION.
It may'be safely said that the spas
modic utterances of a few persons here
and there in favor of a Stay Law by no
means represent the sentiments of the
better class of our people.
Such an enactment would bring gen
eral ruin upon the business of the coun
try, and thus, by reflex actioo, upon the
farmers themselves, in whose behalf the
proposed measure would be inaugurated;
for so close are the mutually interde
pendent relations of the farmer and the
merchant who supplies him with the
necessary credit year by year, that the
ruin of the merchant, by stopping the
wheels of commerce, would put thou
sands of farmers next -year face to face
with starvation, with nobody to extend
the credit necessary for those farmers to
live who depend upon the west for their
meat and bread, while they raise cotton
exclusively.
The talk of a Stay Law is preposter
ous, in view of the fact that the people
of the country—that is to say
the agricultural classess—owe less
money than at any time in
twenty years, and have no need
to ask legal protection, when the mer
chants and banks would bo more willing
than ever before to exercise all the
leniency that might bo needed.
The truth is, that the so-called loss on
cotton at the low prices heretofore
ruling is compensated by the large In
creaso in the quantity produced; for
nino million bales at seven cents will
really net, above expenses of production,
nearly as much as six million bales at
ten cents.
There is therefore no need of de
spondcncy or “the blues,** as cotton is
still king, and the Egypt of Georgia is
all right in the bargain.
AMERICUS BANKS TO THE FRONT.
In spite of the fact that there is a
dearth of money just now through the
country generally, and of the rumors
from New York that the South would be
•ut short of the usual money supply to
move the cotton crop for the benefit of
the West, the solid banks of Americus
have made special provisions for hand
ling all the cotton that may come to this
city, so that at no time could there be
the slightest pretext for saying that
there was no mqney here with which to
pay for cotton. While the large capital
and credit of our banks have always
been ample to meet all requirements of
this nature, they aro specially prepared
now, so the several presidents assure
Tbs Times-Rbcordsii, to meet any sort
of rush of cotton, feeling assured that
the South* cstern Georgia farmers will
be wise enough to tako advantage of the
higher prices that always prevail at the
opening of the season for the first few
thousand bales of green cotton; and that
therefore a special duty will rest upon
Americus banks to be fully prepared to
give our people the full benefit of the
prompt movement that Is always charac
teristlo of this section of the state.
It may, therefore, be stated on the
very highest authority that the banks of
Americus are to-day prepared to move
promptly every bale from a score of
counties that may come to this market;
and there need be, therefore, no reason
why any farmer should suffer the loss
which the holding of the first green cot
ton Is sure to have entailed, by the loss
In weight and the usual decline in price
that follows the heavy movement of Oc
tober and November.
that southern cotton planters should
take steps to improve the general quali
ty of their staple. The New York Dry
Goods Economist calls attention to our
danger from this foreign cotton. It
says :
It in to., late to make a diversion In the
pla» ting bydlrectlngatfentlon to the growth
of a larger quantity of the Allan or Peeler
cotton. But with the effort* ef other na
tion* to grow a portion, if not all, their cot
ton, tht* early opportunity l* Improved to
remind cotton planter* throughout the
Mouth that their competition ia being fos
tered to their dlRodvnntage. and they cannot
be too quick in devising measure* for a more
txtensive growth of the Allan cotton, and
any other fine, long and colored staple that
will answer in the place of the Egyptian.
There 1* ample time before the plaiting of
another crop t« secure much necessary
data and seed, and we feel confident that
with proper care extended In the direction
suggested the benefits arising from
cessful growth of the long-combing staple
would be very remunerative to the planters,
while it would confer a boon upon the cotton
manufact uring Industry of this country.
The following from the Boston Jour
nal of Commerce is on the same line:
The cultivation of longer-stapled cotton-
one and one-elgh ih and one and one qua ter
Inches in length—ahonld bo a desideratum
among Southern planters of the highest Im
portance, the spinning of finer yarns In
Northern mills, and tffe requirements fora
cotton that will give Nos. 40 to 60, creating a
domestic demand for long-stapled cotton
which Southern planters should heed. We
ought to ra'se In the South the cotton that Is
being imported from Egypt in largely in
creasing quantifies. To do so will require
coustant attention in the careful selection of
seeds for planting, and the beat of cultivation
well-prepared soli. Planters have ob
jected to the cultivation of extra-stapled cot
ton because of the additional care demanded
and the le-ui percentage of lint In the yield of
seel cotton. Whatever the disadvantages
may be In this respect the better price which
the cotton commands ought to more than
compensate for anv differences
The Richmond Times says: “The sit
uation is rendered the more serious be
cause no duty has been imposed on im
ported cotton. This is because Ameri
can cotton is exclusively a product of
the South, and only Southern people can
bo Injured by foreign competitors. All
the other staples are protected, such as
wheat and corn, in the cultivation of
which Northern Republicans are en
gaged. Then the McKinley tariff reduces
the duty on the coarser grades of cotton
goods, these being the grades largely
manufactured in the South, while the

add this year about 25 per cent to their i cation of girls, to be opened at Milledge-
last year’s crop of cotton. j ville, Ga., on Wednesday, September ..0,
There is a growing demand for 11891. From a prospectus sent The
Egyptian cotton In thin country to be j Times-Recohdeu by President J. Harris
used in the finer fabrics; and it is plain Chappell, we glean the purposes of the
college.
The object of the state iu establishing
tiiis school Is to provide for the young
women of Georgia an institution in
which they may get such special instruc
tion and training as will prepare them
to earn their own living by the vocation
of teaching or by those industrial arts
that are suitable for women to pursue,
Subsidiary to these two main objects
the Institution will also teach those
branches of learning that constitute a
good general education. It will further
more Instruct aud train Its pupils In
those household arts that are essential
to tho complete education of every wo
man, whatever her calling In life may be
or In whatever sphere of society she
may move.
In other words, it is the purpose of
the college to prepare Georgia girls:
1st. To do intelligent work as teach
ers, according to the best methods
known to modern pedagogics.
2d. To earn their own livelihood by
the practice of some one or another of
these industrial arts suitable for females
to follow.
3d. To exert an uplifting and re
fining influence on family and society
by means of a cultured intellect, which
can only be attained by a systematic ed
ucation in the higher branches of learn-
ing.
4th. To be skilled and expert in
those domestic arts that lie at the foun
dation of all successful housekeeping
and home-making.
The board of directors is a guarantee
that this institution will meet the ex
pectations of the most exacting: Hon.
W. Y. Atkinson, president, Newnan;
Hon. Pat Walsh, vice-president, Augus
ta; Hon. R. N. Lamar, secretary, Mil-
ledgeville; Hon. F. G. du Bignon, Savan
nah; non. A. S. Clay, Marietta; Dr. N. S.
Walker, Eatonton; Capt. T. F. Newell,
Milledgeville.
The different departments embrace all
that could be desired, in every way, and
it is to be hoped that state pride, on the
part of our own people, will actuate
every parent and guardian to consider
the claims of the Georgia Normal and
Industrial College. In addition to this,
assurances are given that the institution
will prove to be second to none in any
part of our country

ISENKHAI. GORDON'S POSITION.
Much speculation and some criticism
bas been recently Indulged in of late as
to tho views and attitude of Senator-
elect Gordon on the third party pro
gramme, which is being so assiduously
coveted by some of tho leading alliance-
men, of which or ler the general is a
shining light.
The question as to what lie thinks is
put at rest, as will be seen by his open
letter to General Evans in this issue.
lie speaks in no uncertain tones of tho
folly of tho disruption of the party of
tlio people on the eve of w great triumph,
and strongly urges tho farmers, In whose
Democratic devotion and integrity he
lias unbounded confidence, to stick hv
tho party of whioh they really form the
bone, muscle and Binew, which for a
quarter of a century has fought a good
tight against tho Republican party, the
enemy of the people.
It will give great pleasure to the many
friends of Uencral Gordon to see his
utterances just at tlds critical juncture
on this important question, and to feel
assured that he will not he led otf after
false gods.
duty on finer fabrics are increased for
the benefit of Northern manufacturers.
“Competition abroad and robbery at
home threaten the Southern planters,
and It is time for thorn to bo np and
doing.”
Tub Now Orleans Times-Democrat,
which ia prominent in advocacy of the
Louisiana lottery infamy, is engaged in
a denunciation of the anti-lottery legisla
tion of the last congress on the ground
that it ia a violation of the sacred prin
ciple of state’s rights, which It is at
tempting to dlsgulso under the specious
name of local self-government. The
Times-Democrat forgets that an over
whelming majority of tho American
people regard this stato's rights question
as haring been forever settled, and this
heresy as haring been buried beyond all
hope of resurrection at Appomattox
more than a quarter of a century ago.
It is worthy of note that it was the
doctrine of state’a rights that waa relied
upon to prop up and perpetuate the
curso of slavery; that it Is “local aelf-
governmeut” upon which the Mormon
polygamists hare rested for their de
fense; and now this dead and moulder
ing heresy is dug up for the defense of
tho lottery Infamy. It will not avail.
The lottery must go. America has no
use for it—Boston Traveller.
The Birmingham Age-Herald it
urgnig a pardon for ex-State Treasurer
Vincent, who is now In the prison hos
pital. He is threatened with consump
tion, and the Age-Herald thinks that If
be Is kept in prison be will not lire to
serve out the remaining five years of
his sentence. He bas recently been ex
atnlncd by a board of physicians ap
pointed by the governor,and their report
la auch aa would warrant him in grant
ing a pardon. Aside from this, the gov
ernor has received letters from all over
the state requesting Vincent's pardon,
and now has the matter under consid
eration.
Tiu: surplus of wheat for export this
year will not bo less than 150,000,000
bushels. Tho chances are that there
will be a demand for nearly all this, un
less speculation or the holding back of
the crop advances prices so far that
Europe will ho compelled to cut down its
purchases of this grain and ;uru to some
substitute. More than once In the past
Europe did this.
