Americus, Ga. f August 22, 1801. The New York Post says the force bill has as much chance of becoming a live Issue again as Bob Ingersoll has of becoming Pope of Home. Blair's descent from China to Hayri recalls the case of that worthy who went to Washington for the English mission and wound up by applying for a second-hand pair of trousers.

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 Thk manager of the Alliance at Ox ford, Ala., is named Turaipseed. Tills is in accordance with the eternal fitness of things. If we had more Turnipsccd and fower politicians in the Alliance, the taritf-robbed farmer would fare bet ter.—N'ews. Thk “stoppage of German looms” and distress in the English, Irish and Scot- tish manufacturing centres are gleefully- accepted by the protection press as vindication of the McKinley tarilT. is anew idea in trade that it is a tine stroke of business to cripple and Impov erish your best .customers.—New York World. 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. H. B. Randolph, Brunswick, Ga.„ writes: “I was under the care of nine different doctors, but not one did me the good that Botanic Blood Balm lias done augl8-d-eod-w4t. CUT PRICES 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.” &4KI?I0 POWDER Absolutely Pure. ▲ cream of tartar baking powder, of all in leavening strength —Latest States Government Food Report. junblS dawlyr Highest .United For Blood and Skin Dis eases; Kidney A Bladder Troubles; Indigestion.
