Call for excursion rates.” 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 was involved, that was pending against it in the jnstico court at Boston. 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.
