Albion W. Tonic*kk is howling again
in the columns of the Chicago Inter-
Ocean about the wrongs done tlie col
ored brother in the south.
Mb. Blaine, having been recuperat
ing at liar Harbor during the summer,
is now hearty enough to pose in the en
tertaining tableau of "Barkis is Willing.*’
Two-tiiii:i» of tbo applicants for ad

Iti>11«»i• <iBE'.*, read out the degree of
LL. cunfoired by the Episcopal
University at Sewanee. Tenn., upon the
brilliant editor of the Louisville Courier*
Journal -as Rev. Henry Wattersou.
Tin: Atlanta Journal is authority for
the statement that a poster .used to ad
vertise Sam Jones in Texas read as fol
lows: “Blood, hair and the ground torn
up for about a mile around. Sam I*.
Jones from July 1' to 19. Call for ex
cursion rates.”
Some Englishmen lately laid wagers
on Patti's age; and from the investiga
tion of the records, it appears that the
Diva is 48 years old. But she still
charges $5,000 for every appearance on
the stage; and seems to have lost none
of her drawing qualities.
The New York Times has been sued
for |1,000,000 by the New York Life In
surance Company. The Tiroes treats
the matter quite facetiously. Newspa
per libel suits are good advertisements,
especially for the newspapers, and they
seldom amount to anything more. The
Timks-Kkcokdek is nursing a little libel
suit of its own, which may bloom into a
sensation almost any day.
The Richmond State says: “I met a
New Yorker a day or two ago—a native
of the South, lie was speaking of the
growth of the Southern colony in the
great metropolis. ‘Why, sir, one of the
best, advertised institutions in New York
is the Southern Society.’ ” It is a power
in New York, not only in the business,
but in politics and social affairs, and has
about 2,000 non-resident members,among
whom are many well known Georgians.
The newspapers have been making it
warm for some of the Sapp-heads in the
Legislature, and one of them who is
Sapp from brad to foot, including the
contents of his head, has concluded to
assail the liberty of the press by Intro
ducing a bill which makes editors of
newspapers responsible for all cards or
communications appearing over a nom
de plume. Any editor who allows any
card or communication to be published,
which either directly or Indirectly re
flects upon the character or business of
any over a nom dc plume, is made guilty
of a misdemeanor, and will have to un
dergo the penalties proscribed in section
4310 of the code. Then another would-
be statesman from DeKalb, Holbrook by
name, and wholebroke in the upper
story, has a bill to make it unlawful for
any public gazette or newspaper In this
state to publish any opiniou or report of
its own, or others, concerning the inno
cence or guilt of any defendant In any
criminal case, contrary to the sworn evi
dence in said case. But the world will
rotate on its axis the same as if these
.Solyns had never lived, and the newspa
pers will continue to enlighten the pub
lic just as before.
HOW WE STAND.
While our people grumble and talk
hard times, have they ever stopped to
think how Americus stands In compari
son with other cities iu this broad land*.'
This has been a year of stringency,
panic, suspensions and failures. In the
East and West, iu the North ami South,
the number of mercantile failures has
been much above the annual averages;
while banks have closed their doors,
railroads have gone into receivers’ hands,
factories and shops have shut down, and
many enterprises have languished and
struggled for existence.
In the midst of all this, Americus has
gone along on the even tenor of her way,
paying all her debts, providing for her
liabilities, building her hotels, stores,
railroads, and dwellings, while her
banks have done more than has been
done by those of other cities to provide
the farmers with means to make their
crops, and the merchants to handle their
big trade.
Where other cities have had failures
and stoppages, Americus has paid out
her hand cash as the emergencies have
arisen, and to-day stands on the eve of
another year’s opening trade as solid as
the everlasting hills upon which she is
built.
We have reason to feel pnyid; not re
joicing that many of our neighbors
have fared worse, and have been over
taken by disaster and ruin; but that our
people have been fortunate enough and
conservative enough to weather in first-
class condition the financial gales that
have so sorely pressed others.
Americus is solid to-day, because she
lias always been so; and as long as the
level-headed financiers who have con
trolled her affairs remain in charge, she
may be expected to retain her present
strong and conservative, though pro
gressive position.
Now that the strain is over,and the in*
coming of another bountiful crop marks
the turning of the tide once more to
ease and plenty, it is befitting that we
take courago for the future, and push
forward in the good work so auspicious
ly begun and so faithfully carried for
ward under the adverse circumstances
which checked so many of our less for
tunate neighbors.
Eighteen hundred and ninety-one
uas a year to shako down and
settle values upon a firm foun
dation for future building; the
benefits of stringency will show them,
selves in the near future, in that all
features of speculation and wildness
have been eliminated from our affairs,
and all our enterprises both public and
private rest upon a firm foundation.
THROUGH THE STATE.
During a storm in Albany last Satur
day, eighteen telephones were burned
out.
The Fort Valley Leader thinks that
Governor Xorthen will succeed himself,
but the election is too far off to predict
who will be the next governor of Geor
gia.
The Georgia congressmen seem to be
pretty solid for Judge Crisp for speaker.
He certainly was a fearless opposition
leader in the last congress.—People’s
Economist.
“More provision and forage crops and
less cotton” has been preached to Geor
gia farmers for 25 years, but all the
preaching has not converted them from
the error of their ways. Experience is
about to do the work in short order.—
Cutbbert Liberal.
The Bainbridge Democrat says that
“the chronically unhappy man, who
persists in trying to sour humanity,
should get him to his closet with his
woes, and give the sunshine a chance to
warm his neighbors,” and there is some
good sense in these remarks.

Thus, since 1880, the south’s cotton
manufacturers have more than trebled
the number of spindles, showing an in
crease from <>17,000 to 2,1*50,000. Geor
gia leads iu the number of spiudles,
having 184,083, closely followed by South
Carolina with 463,424, North Carolina
being third with 123,102. These three
states, says the Baltimore Manufactur
ers’ Record, have paid more attention to
cotton manufacturing than any others,
and have developed a great industry
that U steadily adding to their pros
perity. Other southern states should
follow their example. The south, w bich
produces the cotton, must manufacture
it. The total number of spindles in the
United States is 15,407,302, against 14,-
457,024 in 1880, and 13,470,081 in 1887.—
Augusta Chronicle.
LIFTING THEM ALL IN.
It seems that the doors of salvation
are at last to be opened to the outside
heathen by the Alliance elect, if the
following from The Constitution is not
a fake:
Shortly before the Alliance convention
adjourned, a resolution was adopted
that all persons who are in sympathy
with the purposes and principles of the
Farmers’ Alllnuce—whether lawyers,
preachers, merchants, doctors, bankers,
railroaders, newspaper men, mechanics
or any other sort of citizen—be given
the privilege of forming “citizens’alli
ances.”
This comprehensive action will, It is
believed, largely augment the numeri
cal force of the Alliance, for while the
members of these proposed citizen alli
ances will not be in reality farmers' al-
liancemen, yet they will be active pro
ponents of the order and living exemp
lars of its principles.
The resolution did not specify the
manner iu which these citizen’s alliances
shall he organized, but leaves large
scope to the organizers. The funda
mental requirement, the supreme test,
the sine qua non will he an endorsement
of the Ocala platform, and an adherened
to the basic principles of tho Alliance.
“How will citizens proceed to form
these societies?” was asked Mr. Ivey,
Mr. Brown and Colonel Hammond, and
other well-known AllUncctnen.
“Any way they please, I suppose,” an
swered Mr. Ivey. “No plan Is fixed, and
I presume if any citizens desire to or
ganize, all they will have to do will be
to call a meeting, adopt a platform and
elect officers.”
‘‘Can all classes and members of all
professions join these city brauches?
“There is nothing in the resolution
which excludes anybody who Is In sym
pathy with the Alliance, and subscribes
to thc-Ocala platform.”
It is understood that one of these citi
zen Alliance societies will be started In
Atlanta shortly.
The Cutbbert Liberal puts the press
on notice as follows: “Have any of our
Georgia exchanges received pay for the
advertising they have done for the Chi
cago General Supply Company? We
made a dismal failure in our effort to
collect anything out of the concern, and
must conclude that the thing is a first
class humbug.”
The Albany News and Advertiser com
plains of the hot weather last week and
says “it was a common thing on Friday
and yesterday to hear of citizens who
complained that they had to sit up on
Thursday and Friday nights to get any
relief whatever from the heat. Citizens
who have never felt it necessary to leave
Albany during the summer have com
plained the past week on account of the
excessive heat. The public suffering
has been great and the citizens have
sought in vain for relief.” The Albany
people should come up to Americus to
spend the summer.
According to the New York papers
the drift of political affairs in that state
indicates that Gov. Hill will not be a can
didate for the presidency, and that he
intends to throw* the influence of Tam
many, together with that of his friends,
In tho interior country, in favor of Sena
tor Gorman. There is no doubt about
the fact that Senator Gorman is an able,
strong and popular leader of the Demo
cratic party, but there is a grave doubt
whether it would be the part of wisdom
to nominate him, because he is a South
ern man, and the Republicans would not
miss the opportunity to take advantage
of his candidacy to play upon the sec
tional prejudices of the Northern people.
They would be sure to raise a howl to
the effect that the safety of the govern
ment would be imperilled were a man
from the South to be placed in the presi
dential chair. It strikes us that about
the best thing that Gov. Hill and Tam
many can do is to cease making presi
dential slates for the Democratic party.
The party is perfectly able to select a
candidate, and will do so when it assem
bles in convention.—Now Orleans States.
Men will skin one another clear down
to tho bone in trade who would starve
before they would go into housebreak
ing as a biisine-s.—Ram’s Horn.

Richland, possessed of the spirit of
progress that has made Americus the
metropolis of southwest Georgia, knows
the value of printers’ iuk as a factor in
her upbuilding, and Thk Timks-Rkcou-
web has sent a special correspondent to
that thriving little city, who will gather
the data for a history of its progress
during 1891, which will appear to-mor
row. Americus and Richland are close

and interest; and the prosperity of the
