COMMUNISM IN GEORGIA.
It might seem to the public that it
was a considerable draft on the imagi
nation of a writer who would state that
communism anti anarchy were being as
publicly anti strongly advocated by' citi
zens of Georgia to-day, as was done by
the Chicago anarchists just before the
Haymarket massacre.
To those, however, who heard Tom
Watsou's speech before the legislature
and the Alliance convention in Atlanta
on Wednesday night, no surprise will be
conveyed by the heading of this arti
cle.
In plain English, Watson advocated
communism and anarchy, and that he
had the sympathy of a good many of
ids hearers was made manifest by the
rapture with which his incendiary ut
terances were received.
Ills speech was a demagogic appeal

Tiie recent statement, credited to
John Temple Graves, that "Pat Calhoun
was to bo made the next governor of
Georgia,” is wholly without authority
from Mr. Calhoun or any of his friends.
'Re has no idea whatever of being a can
didate for that position. Mr. Graves
will have to scare up somebody else to
■succeed Governor Nortben.
l.EV. W. J. Scott, the brilliant author
of "Paragraph Penciling.” iu The Con
stitution, says that "the Satan of the
orthodox creed i. perhaps quite as much
Miltonic as scriptural.” This suggests
1 thevxylng of another doctor of divinity,
at* the effect that three-fourths of the
popular theology of the day was found
ed on "Milton’s Paradise Lost.”
The effort of Governor Northen and
his friend Mr. Gibson to prefer charges
against Mr. Livingston, in the State
Allianco convention, was not accorded
even tho dignity of a hearing. Presi
dent Livingston ruled them out of order,
and the convention sustained him. This
is probably the last of the charges
against the elder, as there appears to be
no lack of conlidenco in bis integrity by
his Alliance brethren.
A few days ago The Timeb-IIecorheh
challenged Editor Small of The Atlanta
Herald to produce the record of the
Democracy of Judge Speer, whom The
Herald felt called upon to defend against,
the charge of this paper that he was a
judge by virtue of being a rer egade
Democrat Editor Small is no doubt
getting points from Mat Davis ("My
Dear Mat”) and Bill Pledger with which
to substantiate the purity of Judge
Speer’s political record. Bring out your
witnesses, Brother “SI.”
For attempting to kiss a woman
against her will, a prominent citizen of
Newman, 111., lies dead at his home
with a fractured skull, the result of
blow with a hatobet in the hand of the
woman. W* don’t have any of that
kind of women in Georgia, thank our
stars 1 Some of them may not be spoil
ing to bo kissed, but if they were kissed,
vi et armls, a breach of promise suit
would probably be the wort outcome of
the business. They don’t murder peo
ple down this way for falling in love
with them.
If our legislators really want to do
something that will be of permanent
benefit to the state and tho debtor class,
they should turn their attention to the
enactment of a good, honest, all-wool,
yard-wide collection law—a law that will
make all property, real and personal,
liable for the just debts of its owners.
U Georgia had a good, square, gilt-edge
system of collection laws, money would
be plentiful in this state to-day at 0 per
cent., and a man’s small estate would be
as good a basis of credit, as far as its
valuo went, as the rich man’s estate.—
Albany News.
John W. Book walter, who owns 00,-
000 acres of land in Nebraska, proposes
to initiate a great reform in farm life, at
an expense of $70,000 or $100,000, to be
met out of his own purse. His idea is
to overcome the farmer’s discontent,
which bo believes to be due mainly to
social isolation, by bringing their houses
together into a tastefully arranged vil-
Uage near each one’s land, instead of
having them on the Individual farms.
He baa already started the experiment
on a small scale, and says: “I am going
to build a town hall and establish a
free circulating llbraty. This scheme Is
in vogue smong the farmers of France,
Spain, Italy and Switzerland, and Is a
great success.”
to the ignorance and prejudice of his
hearers; and was in all essentials similar
to the appeal which a shrewd and un
scrupulous advocate makes to an igonant
jury in a murder case; any argument is
used to carry the point—the end just!
lies,|thcmeans.
His attack was upon railroads, per sc:
lie was against them because they repre
sented wealth and capital; and his prop,
ositlon, stripped of its mask, was to
confiscate the railroads and let the state
take charge of aud operate them for the
public benefit. _
His so-called "co.v facts” were a tis
sue of misrepresent . ns, and *artfuliy
distorted and disguised truths; among
his numerous other misstatements being
that the Central railroad bad $10,000,000
of "water” in its stocks and bonds, the
actual cost of all this vast property be
ing really but $4,000,000; a statement
known by every intelligent man in his
audience to be wholly incorrect. This
was a fair sample of his "cold facts,"
with whicli he sought to stir up the
wrath of the people against the corpora
tions, who were grinding the public Into
poverty by collecting freight and passon-
ger tariffs on millions of dollars of wa
tered stock, instead of upon the actual
cost of construction.
A more dangerous enemy to the pub
lic peace aud prosperity docs not live in
Georgia than tills same Watson, the
least of whose offenses is his doubtful
Democracy, and his nttacks upon the
Democracy of such men as Judge Crisp,
That he should deliver such an ad
dress in the halls of the capital of Geor
gia, and be clioered to the echo by
scores of legislators and auditors, does
nut augur well for the safety of republi
can Institutions; for ranker heresy, sedi
tion, communism and anarchy wero
never preached by Spies or Most in their
palmiest days.
The Times-Recorder feels that It
does Mr. Watson no Injustice when it
names him the “Herr Most of Georgia
politics.”
JUDGE CRISP IN MISSOURI.
The only newspaper In the Union
which has attempted a light on Judge
Crisp was the St. Louis Republic, but
that journal has raodllled its wrath suf
ficient to contain the following cour-
teoui notice of Ills appearance in Mis
souri:
"Colonel Crisp, member of congress
from Georgia and candidate for speaker
of the house of representatives, has in
vaded Missouri upon a mission of
peece. He addressed the Missourians
last Saturday at Lone Jack. He will ap
pear at the third annual tariff roform
picnic at Platteburg,/Dext Saturday, Au.
gust 22. A tent sufficiently large to
■belter 0,000 people hat been procured,
and Col. Crisp can rest assured of an am
dience representing the flower and the
chivalry of the itate, for all the Demo
crats In the northwest have promised to
attend with their wives, sons and daugh
ters. The colonel will next address the
yeomanry of Pettis county at Sedalia,
on the afternoon of Tuesday, August 25,
and again will he have a brilliant audi.
ence. The way Is open for the display
of his finest oratory, and he will be ac
corded an old-fashioned welcome
wherever he goes In Missouri."
The Boston Herald teys that some piople
regard the proposition to nominate Mr,
Cleveland for governor of New York as a
Joke. This iielng the esse, what do these bu-
morous people think of the proposition to
nominate bint for president on a free coinage
platform T—Coaatltutlon..
That ia just the joke that will be per
petrated if Mr. Cleveland le to bo the
next president. A platform will be
made, one of the sllla of which will bo
free allver; and whoever geta the noml
nation will have to atop up to the free
allver muaic. Mr. Cleveland knowa thia
just as well as anybody; and the fact
that he is still an avowed candidate,
means that he will swallow the me di-
cine like a little man when tho prescrip,
tlon is tilled at the Democratic drug
■tore and the dose is poured out in a
big silver spoon and put to his mouth
by his Uncle Sam. Yes, Grover will
swallow the medicine—if he gets the
chance.
Souk things besides the mercury are
getting red hot this August weather.
The Constitution calls one of Tom Wat
son's “hallelujah licks” “a lie out of the
whole cloth," the sly anarchist In a
speech in Washington county haring
said that The Constitution had written
him an offer of the chairmanship of an
Important committee in the next Con
gress If he would sots for Crisp. Let
The Constitution keep cool; Tom Wat-
sou says scores of things just as accurate
as this is every time he makes one of
his communistic harangues.
HON. IV. A WILSON.
While the action of the State Alliance
Convention assembled in Atlanta, in
electing as Vice-President Maj. W. A.
Wilson, of Sumter county, was not un
expected, it was no less an agreeable
event to the friends of that gentleman,
and to the people of this part of the
state generally, because it is an honor
worthily bestowed.
By reason of Col. Livingston's absence
in Washington after December 1, the
vice-presidency assumes more than the
nominal importance usually attaching to
such an office, and it was In view of the
duties and responsibilitiea to devolve
upon that officer, in this Instance, that
the choice fell upon Maj. Wilson.
He will in effect become the active
executive head in Col, Livingston’s ab
sence in congress, and those who know
him feel that the Alliance has made no
mistake in their selection.
Maj. Wilson has been a citizen of this
county for thirty three years, having
moved to Sumter from Putnam when a
young man He Is a gentleman of cul
ture and refinement, and has enjoyed a
widespread reputation as an educator,
as the president of the Madison (Ga.)
Female College and the Furlow Masonic
Female College in this city,
Maj. Wilson is a forcible and pleasant
speaker, a man of brains and of good
executive ability, and it is doubtful
whether there is a man in the body from
which be was selected who possesses in
a higher degree the all-round qualifica
tions which fit him so well for the place.
It Is an omen of the success of the Al
liance to see It put forward men of such
sounjj sense and conservatice character
as Maj. Wilson in the line of leadership,
for the public generally will feel confi
dence that his administration of affairs
will be wisely and conservatively man
aged.
The Times-Rkcoihif.k congratulates
the Farmers’ Alliance on the wisdom of
its action, and wishes fur Maj. Wilson
the fullest measure of success in the im
portant and responsible duties lie will be
called upon to discharge.

Still the Rule at
Beall & Oakley’s.
Editor Turner of Albany tolls the
unvarnished truth when he says of the
stay law: “The fact that such a law
had boen introduced in the Georgia Leg
islature had a tendency to make capital
and credit wary of the state. Nearly
every bank in the state bad reminders
from its correspondents at the north
that this proposed stay law “looked
bad” and was calculated to throw dis
trust upon a people who would sanction
it. But, thanks to the sensible men in
oua house of representatives, the pro,
posed stay law has been killed, and it is
no longer a monace and scarcecrow to
Georgia credit.”
