Americus, Ga., August 26, 1891. 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 mission to West I'oinr and Annapolis, according to Dr. Ciieeseman, of Chicago, are rejected because of the cigarette habit and its tesults 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. CUT PRICES Still the Rule at Beall & Oakley’s. GEORGIA LEADS THEM ALL From best authorities the uutnber of cotton spindles in the south as compared with 1870, is as follows: ltui. No. of Hplndlt-s. 102,519 10,«2i 1,300 17.2S7 tii.lus 175,500 67,12) *3,424 1.1,9! I 01,700 No. of Bpiudles. :«,73H 2J»IS -I Mil* States Alabama Arkansas Florida. Georgia. Kentucky , Louisian* ... Maryland Mississippi North Carol inn South Carolina Tennessee . . Texas. Virginia Total .2,1.0,823 6C7,**H 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. 0 h C/5 O L- o M- CD CD o O >> "D O a f-* .2 E" *u O O £ O o JC ■ »■§ % 0 q— 15 CO 0 o >> Cti Ijl D CD O a tf- sz i 0 c o 0 * v u S ° o 2 3 CO T5 £ 0 ■o o L- £ w 2* O iS OQ ctf JD 8 2 a. >Y o c Cju L. 0 £ £ 3 CO a ‘C +-> CD X 0 c 0 s: +-> L* o D OQ 2 < W 0 > 0 W £ L. 0 >Y 3 -O L. 3 o >Y 3 JQ L. o £ 0 2 CD *3 O O a L- 0 £ £ 3 CO w CO o J o O H h co O O h < CO u o X CO PROFESSIONAL T a. klcttz, AKCHITECT AND SrPEKINT) ENT Americ.ua. fUnro’i * RDS Americus, Georg! r street—Murpliey Balldio J.

Americus and Richland are close ly joined in bonds of mutual sympathy and interest; and the prosperity of the one Is the prosperity of the other. Little Joe Wiieeleb knows enough to wheel into line in time to save his congressional scalp from the Alliance knife, it being reported that he is to sell his law* library and quit law, like Little Tom Watson did In Georgia.
