The copy of The Atlanta Constitution of the 27th should be preserved by every old Confederate household in Georgia. It shows who voted against the defend ers of Georgia and who voted for them.! horse on the State. Keep the list for future generations to , was Georgia versus Atlanta, a fact made read. The editorial in that issue is also patent by Baldwin of Randolph, and well worth preserving. It voices the j another member, whose name was not sentiment of ninety nine out of every given, who shook his fist at the gallery hundred of the people.—Augusta Even ing News. 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 O j the Rev. D. Sunderland, of the First church, like a shot, but in Ids suavent manner, with “I beg the judge's pardon, but wo read in the book of Acts of the Apostles that St. Paul went to the thea ter at Ephesus.” The judge was floored. —Washington Post. 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. 0 O ‘0 a s: ■ o c o CO +J 3 CO T3 0 L- 0 •0 o L.
