Americus, Ga., August XI, 1891. 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 FOREIGN VS. SOUTHERN COTTON. [ “GIRLS’ INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL." India, Egypt and the Transvaal will This is a state institution for the edu- 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 A Little Child Dying. The most pitiful sight that can be presented to father and mother is to see their little darling suffering so from the effect of teething. The wise parent gives Dr. Biggers* Huckleberry Cordial to relieve it CUT PRICES Still the Rule at Beall & Oakley’s. 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. Julie E. Johnson, Stafford’s P. O., S. C., writes: “I hsd suffered Is years with eczema and was at times confined to my bed. The Itching was terrible.
