ed a fortuue of #1,000,000 within the last
ten years. In 1881 be was worth only
$2,000, but lucky wheat invegtmonts
gave him a start.
Peach to Mme. Blavataky'a ashes—

A postei: used to advertise Sam Jones
in Texas reads as follows: “Blood, hair,
and tlie ground torn up about a mile
around Sam I*. Jones from July 15 to

Se.natob Gouuan is building a now-
house near Laurel, Md., to replace the
one burned down last winter. The Bal
timore Sun says that the structure will
be a commodious, substantial and com'
for table farm house.
Tue Philadelphia Times suggests that
the reason why Frederick Douglass gave
up his diplomatic honors and returned
to the United States just at tlds time, is
that the watermelon season is now at its
height In tide country.
Tiie Grand Army of the ltepublic lias
purchased the house at Appomattox in
which General Lee surrendered, and
proposes to have an cncampmont next
year at that historic spot. It is a won-
■dcr that they don’t move the house to
•Chicago.
Henry Labouchebe was not pleased
with the manner In which the young
’ kaisor carried himself in London. He
accuses him of assuming a solemn strut,
supposed to bo imperial, but “partaking
more of the barnyard chanticleer tliau of
an emperor.”
Henry Wattkrson is now entltlod to
be called Dr. Wattorson, the degreo of
LL. D. having boon conferred on him by
the’.Unlversity of the South at Sewance,
Tenn. In conferring the degree Bishop
Gregg called 1dm "tho ltev. Henry Wat-
torson,” which caused the largo audionco
to smile almost audibly.
A large number of 4) per cent, bonds
fall due In two weeks. Secretary Foster
has been ablo to refund a portion of
them at 2 per cent. Those held by
national banks will probably all bo ex
changed for tho new bonds, but it ap
pears now that individual holders will
prefer to havo their bonds redeemod.
This will causo tho paying out of proba
bly (25,000,000, which in the present de
pleted condition of the treasury will be
a great strain on the government's re
sources, but it will put a good sum of
monoy in circulation. Enougli of the
bonds will be extended to prevent any
considerable contraction In national
bank notes.
JDDnr. CRISP IN THE WEST.
It affords The Times-Kecobdeb
pleasure to note that < ur distinguished
townsman, Judge Crisp, is meeting with
an enthusiastic reception at all points
on his western tour. The Kansas City
Times gives expression to tlie popular
sentiment in that section in the follow
ing complimentary editorial:
“Judge Crisp of Georgia is the guest
of Kansas City and western Missouri for
next week. He is one of the ablest of
Democratic leaders and an American of
such broad and liberal views that his op
ponents in politics are all his friends
and admirers. Kansas City learned to
regard him with marked favor when he
was here last spring. The pleasure of
giving him a cordial welcome is height
ened by a desire to correct any impres
sion made by an unworthy and unpopu
lar attack upon bis speakership candi
dacy made by a St. Louis paper. Western
Missouri will show him that it has not
the least part in that uncalled for and
unfair opposition. Tlie Democrats of
this state have not taken sides in the
contest and deprecate any premature ex
hibition of partisanship. Judge Crisp
will find that aB a statesman and a Dem
ocrat lie is as highly regarded as any
other man in the country. Wherever ho
appears during ids stay in Missouri lie
will encounter hosts of friends and not
an enemy. We receive him as a citizen
whose character is a matter of pride to
mon of all parties, and whose attain
ments and talents are appreciated as
they deserve. In Mr. Tarsney’s, Mr.
Dockery’s and Mr. Wilson's districts and
wherever ei9e lie may be entertained, lie
will be taught that Missouri hospitality
goes out generously to public men who
have lived up to a true standard, as he
has.”
EXCHANGES SCISSORED.
A number of watermelons that were
shipped from Ma:on to Liverpool, ar
rived in good order and were sold at 75
cents each.
The Savannah, Floiida and Western
railway gained a suit, in which 12 conts

Wednesday, of last weok, Essie Free
man, col., was instantly killed by light
ning while chipping pins in tho woods
near tho residence of Mr. J. R. Clom-
ents, a few miles from Rochelle.
Is The Atlanta Journal opposed to
Crisp because The Atlanta Constitution
is for him.—Darien Timber Gazette.
If The Journal Is opposed to Crisp
that could be its only excuse—Borne
Tribune.
Mr. John P. Doster, of Dooly county,
lost his barns, cribs and four head of
stock, consisting of horses and mules,
last Wednesday morning by fire. The
flro originated in one of the barns be
tween 1 and 2 a. m. and is supposed to be
the work of an incendiary. The loss is
estimated between $1,500 and 82,000.
CHANGING FRONT.
Some of the sentiments expressed
ex-Senator Ingalls in his lecture at the
Piedmont Chautauqua do not please the
Republican papers. He laid himself open
to the t irge of Inconsistency and to the
suspicion of Insincerity, Either there
has been a radical change In bia sent!
ments toward the south, or else he does
not always mean what he says. And
the latter be tho case then the question
arises, did he mean what he said in the
senate or what he said In Georgia?
there has not been a radical change
his views, it must be that his tirades
against the south while in the senate
were designed for party effect; and
they wore it is a fair Inference that he
was not the only one of his party who in
public assumed that false and base at
titude towards the south.
When Mr. Ingalls was advocating the
force bill, eighteen months before bis
Chautauqua speech, in referring to the
negroes he spoke of “the hideous and
indescribable wrongs and crimes of
which they have been for a quarter of
century tlie guiltless and unresisting
victims.” What the Republicans treated
as tlie suppression of the negro vote,
Ingalls denounced as a “nullification of
the constitution,” and a “violation of
the natural rights of man.” But before
a southern audience the samo man ad
mits that the people of the north did not
approve of the force bill, because they
realized that if they lived in the south
they would do just as the people of the
south have done. The advocacy of this
infamous measure was prompted ai
most eotirely by considerations of party
policy.
The most charitable construction that
can be placed upon Mr. Ingalls’ seeming
inconsistencies is that during the inter
val between the two sessions of the
Fifty-first congress he came to realize
the sentiment of the north on this ques
tion, more especially in Kansas, and felt
constrained on that account to change
his own position on the question.
In regard to the enfranchisement of
the negroes, Mr. Ingalls said: “It was
in my judgment a mistake.” And again,
“I think history has shown that it was
mistake." The majority of northern
Bepublicans have come to view it in that
light. If they would more generally
avow their sentiments, as Mr. Ingalls
lias done, it would ba doing the south
an act of simple justice. But if they
should do so, what would becorao of the
Bepubllcan party?
How wool and politics are associated
in Ohio is thus explained by the St,
Louis Bepublic: "The average Ohio Be
publican wants Ohio wool to go up, and
Mr. McKinley was stupid enough to take
the contract of putting it up. As a re
suit ‘Ohio wool is down lower—lower
than ever. And Mr. McKinley is going
down with It "
It is laid that Jay Gould got his
friend, “Deacon” Bussell Sage, In a
corner tho other day—a Union Pacific
corner—and squeezed several millions
out of tho old man. This is a way tho
wizard lias. He made a pauper of mil
lionaire Daniel Drew; be bankrupted
Jim Fiskc; he broke Jim Keene; he cut
Cyrus Field’s fortune in two, taking the
largest half; lie has administered on the
estates of numberless corporations. ' He
is the must extraordinary produet of the
country, and if life, health and strength
were spared him another half a century,
says tlie LoiilBvIlle Times, he wonld
own, body and hreechea, the western
hemisphere and a large slice of the
eastern.
Tut: following clipped from a letter to
Tho Chattanooga Tradesman shows tho
beneficial effect of cotton factories on
tiie price of the staple. Mr. Ganlnler,
of Augusta, Ga., says: “I was talking
with Mr. Charles Estes, president of the
King (cotton) Mills to-day, and he gave
me the astounding information that the
cotton faotorles of Augusta, by their
consumption of eighty odd thousand
bales of the raw material annually, were
the cause of bringing to the producer,
the farmer of the section, contiguous to
Augusta, J of a cent per pound more for
their cotton than tho market price war
ranted. In round figures this is $1.25
per bale, and tlie,mills have saved tlie
farmers $337,500 on their produce.”
The Agriculturist, a paper which has
far-rcacbing correspondence and infor
mation, declares that tho return to the
farmers of the country for their crops
this year will exceed that of last year by
one billion of dollars. This ought soon
to bring back al! tlie gold that has been
sent to Europe in the past few months
and hundreds of millions besides. Un-
fortunately for tho south the cotton
planters, from present appearances, will
hardly realize as much as they did last
year. There may, however, come a bet
ter time for them. They certainly have
a very narrow chance for profit at ruling
rate*. Their surplus corn crop may be
needed to feed tip hungry people across
the ocean and beooma a source of profit.
In speaking of the proposed changes
in the Third aistrlot, The Bochelle Be
corner delivers itself of this item: “The
district contains thirteen of the very
best and most prosperous agricultural
counties in the state, and population of
101,058. It also oontains Americus
which la a city large enough to furnish
all the eongresalonal timber the district
will ever need. We will be satisfied,
however, as long as such men as Char
ley Crisp represents the district.”
HOW OTHERS SEE I'S.
The Tuiks-Becorder is opposed, on
principle, to ever saying anything about
Itself of a laudatory nature; but this rule
will be suspended, at least just once, by
“the man now at the wheel,”' for the
good reason that ho may never again
have a chance to do as ho ploascs. And,
besides, what is the use of authority, if
rules can’t bo suspended to suit the one
in power. So here goes. Tho follow
ing is from the Atlanta Constitution:
“Captain Bascom Myrick, editor of
Tue Americas Tiues-Becordeb, Is in
Atlanta. Captain Myrick, besides be
ing ono of the brightest editors in the
state, is a charming companion and has
many friends in Atlanta who are always
glad to see him. In speaking of Ameri
cus yeslorday, he said:
‘“Things are brightening up and look,
lug lively now, as our cotton season has
commenced. Cotton is coming in at
the rate of sixty halos per day, and busi
ness ii picking up accordingly.’ ”
THE POSTOFFICE NOT TO BLAME.
In yesterday's issue of The Times-
Becobiixii appeared a local Item reflect
ing on tho manner in which business Is
conducted In tho - postoftice—that 1b, It
was charged that mail matter was not
delivered on time at the boro of DoSoto.
Tho only trouble witii this item lies in
the fact that the reporter should havo
placed the blame where It properly be
longs—on the route agent—and not on
the pdetoftice.
And In making this correction, exon
erating our worthy and esteemed post
master fcom all blime in the matter, and
saddling the whole business on the route
agent, we relieve the conscience of The
TimevKecorder, and at the same time
find an elegant excuse for getting rid of
an exceedingly “fresh” reporter. This
pencll-shover is now counting ties be
tween here and Atlanta, a city peculiar
ly adapted to his eccentric genius, and a
place’whet* he will not be noticed, as
there the inhabitants are all “fresh.”
Wait for Lawrence Dorr
Our Mr. L. A. Dorr will
visit Americus about Septern
ber i st, with samples repre
senting the handsomest line
of goods ever brought to
America. It will be to your
interest to wait for him before

Clothing. Our Mr. Victor
Dorr is now in the European
markets, and each steamer
brings us large shipments from
him.
