Keep the list for future generations to , was Georgia versus Atlanta, a fact made

well worth preserving. It voices the j another member, whose name was not

The statement comes from a director
of the Bank of England recognized as
one of the foremost financiers of Europe,
that “it is probable that not less than
£10,000,000 of gold will be shipped from
Europe to America between this and
next December. I thing it quite within
bounds to estimate that at least £10,-
000,000—say $.'0,000,000—will be Rent in
actual cold from Europe to the United
States before Christmastide.”
The Herald quotes Mr. Atkinson as
threatening the press of the country
with “a stab in the back.” What better
could be expected of a man who stabs
an old Confederate soldier in the back
and then relegates him to the poorliouse
to die ? Is an editor any better than a
crippled Confederate soldier in Mr At
kinson's estimation ? By his own state
ment, stabbing in the back is Ids favor
ite method of attack. Mr. Atkinson’s
constituents will “stab him in the back”
at the next election.
Ex-Chief Justice Drake of the court
of claims was once addressing a meeting
of the Washington City presbytery
against theater going, and, being asked
where the Bible condemned it, answered
that of course theaters were not men
tioned in the Bible. This remark brought

church, like a shot, but in Ids suavent
manner, with “I beg the judge's pardon,

Apostles that St. Paul went to the thea
ter at Ephesus.” The judge was floored.

Some days sinco the cotton planters of
Western Tennessee, at a meeting held
in Memphis, proposed to reduce
the wages of cotton .pickers from 75
cents to 50 cents a hundred pounds.
Similar meetings have been held iu
Mississippi and, Louisiana, at which
planters have pledged themselves to pay
no more than 40 cents per hundred. A
press dispatch from New Orleans of the
22d Inst., says: “This reduction will be
vigorously opposed and resented by tbe
pickers, and the chauces are that there
will be a big strike on this question.”
A FULL cargo of cottonseed oil is to
be shipped from Newport News to Italy,
an Italian hark having been chartered for
the purpose. This oil will come back to
us as tbe purest Kalian olive oil. The
South furnishes the raw material for
almost everything. It ships iron North
to be made into tinished goods of every
kind; it ships cotton to New England
and shouted, “Atlanta isn’t on top yetr
But the most monumental ass devel
oped In the whole affair was Atkinson of
Coweta, whose conduct the English lan
guage is too poor to properly character
ize without descending to a level where,
in any contest of epithets, nature and
education would give the honorable
member tbe advantage over anybody*
but a Billingsgate fishwoman.
Perhaps Dr. Hawthorne’s reply to him
is the best that could be devised; and
what is therein said of him, the ring
leader, is worthy of reproduction:
Tltc citizens of Atlanta who met at the ar-
tesUii well, and in a peaceable and dignified
manner gave expression to their views upon
a question of public policy were not "a howl
ing mob." There was not a man of the 6,003
gathered there who Is not the peer of Mr.
Atkinson lu everything except bitterness
and profanity. No man has ever outlived a
speech so offensive to every lover of truth
un i virtue, and Mr. Atkinson will not be an
exception to the rule. His mistake is a dis
aster from which he can never recover. The
verdict of the disgusted public will be that
his rashness and Irreverence disqualify nun
for an v office In which he would be expected
to represent the Interests nut feelings of u
Ch.UlUn people. J. B. Hawthorne.
Suppose the railroad men who bought
stock in the Southern Allianco Farmer
refuse to sell out, what will the Alliance
do about it ? The organ has lost money,
and a part of the stock was cheerfully
parted with. It is certainly peculiar to
see the Alliance and tbe railroads own
ing a newspaper jointly. Here was a
journal championing the farmers’ order,
which is the enemy of railroads, and
living In part on the money which the
corporations advanced. In this light it
is not hard to understand why Editor
Brown objected to Editor Gantt publish
ing the anti-lease editorial. Perhaps it
was the incongruity of the situation
which Induced the Alliance last week to
appoint a committee to buy tbo Farmer
outright. The Times would advise that
the joint control be continued. It would
teach a beautiful lesson, showing to the
world that while in theory men may
differ radically in their beliefs, in their
practical affairs they can hold the most
harmonious relations. It affords a prac
tical illustration of how the Allianco lion
and the railroad lamb can lie down to
gether and for once get up with the lion
on the inside. So long as there is a
deficit to make up, why not let the
plethoric railroads supply it?—Savannah
Times.
the Jarvis-Conklin Mortgage and Trust
Company, have purchased a controlling
interest in Port Royal, S. C., thus unit
ing in the development of that port
English and Western influences and the
Richmond Terminal Company, giving
assurance that the South is to have
another great deep-water port. The
tendency of the foreign trade of the
country is to seek outlets through south
ern ports, and this will prove of great
value to the whole South, as it means
the building up of a number of great
commercial cities along the coast from
Newport News and Norfolk to Texas.
Another important enterprise reported
is the sale of 200,000 acres of coal and
timber lands in West Virginia to Vir
ginia and Northern capitalists, the re
ported price being $1,000,000, and the
sale of smaller tracts aggregating 7,000
acres for $175,000, for immediate devel
opment. West Virginia also reports a
$100,000 paper mill company and a
$75,000 wagon manufacturing com
pany; a $1,000,000 Coal and iron
company, reported a few weeks
ago as organized in Georgia, will build a
seventeen-mile railroad, open coal mines
and build 200 coke ovens; at Middles-
borough, Ky., $1,500,000 of debenture
bonds have been issued for carrying out
the developments in progress there; a
$000,000 ore mining and manufacturing
company and a $300,000 lumbering and
mining company havo been incorporated
at Cedartown, Ga.; in North Carolina a
$200,000 tobacco manufacturing company
bas been organized; in Kentucky a
$500,000 oil and gas company; in Vir
ginia a $230,000 machine manufacturing
company; in Mississippi a $£0,000 buggy-,
making company, etc. After the crops
have been gathered and harvested, and
money becomes more abundant for in- |
vestment, as it then w ill, we shall see a
wider and healthier activity and greater
prosperity throughout the South than
that section has ever had.—Manufactur
ers’ Record.

Biiadstkeet’s report of railroad
earnings fot the first six months of the
year show an increase compared with
the same j»eriod of 1890 of 10 per cent,
in the Southern group of roads, 10 per
cent, in tho Pacific group, 13 per cont.
and to Europe to furnish tlio material (or] on tho coal road* and 3.2 per cent, by
the employment of hundreds of millions
of capital; it furnishes the walnut for
nearly all the sewing machines made in
this country, the hardwood for millions
of dollars’ worth of furniture; it supplies
the coal for the ocean greyhounds, and
of late years it has been furnishing cot
tonseed oil to Italy that It might manip
ulate it and return it to America as olive
oil. Great is tbe South, but greater
still will it be when it is no longer con
tent to famish the raw materials to
others, but, using them to support a fast
and varied industrial business, it secures
