THE LIGHT DAWNING.
The following is a very sensible view
of the race question from a Northern
newspaper. It is from the Chicago
Times, and was written as criticism of
ex-JSenator Ingalls’ recent article bear
ing ou that subject in the New York
Truth. The Times says:
“There is reasou for the fact that
stared him in the face when he saw the
negroes dwelliug together with white
men and without the bitterness he bail
formerly believed existed. Held for
generations in slavery, it were beyond
the limits of possible human effort to
raise the negro as a race at once to the
level of full citizenship. Whatever the

We of the south have no special
grievance. When we look abroad, and
read of the convulsions in London and
New York, and other financial centers,
we must conclude that ours is but the
common lot, and there is no use of sigh
ing for pastures new.
Nothing is more common than for
active men to sigh for other fields of

Their settlement is delayed by partisan
harangues aud the denial of simple
truths.
This question is now mush better un
derstood at the nortli than formerly. A
kind of fanatical exaltation of the negro
and prejudice against the southern
whites, which gresr out of the war, led
action, on the first b-eatli of dullness. 11» » very perverted idea there of the
But why not consider the outlook ?

Where can capital or ability drift to that

Where can any man go to where he will
find a better opening or a brighter
promise than right here? In the univer
sal stagnation which pervades the whole
country at this time,why not act sensibly,
and conclude that every community, in
every part of the land, has its own
burdens to carry, and that we will do
our part best by standing by our own
people, and helping, to the extent of our
ability, In tiding over the days that are
dark and dreary. Let us do this cheer
fully, and when the sun of prosperity
again shines, we who hare stood at our
posts of duty will feel that we have done
our part to lift the financial clouds that
now hang over, not only Americus, but
our entire land.
A SEASON OF 1’ltOSPEUITV.
The Manufacturers’ Itecord of this
week, In an article beaded, "A Season
of Prosperity Ahead of us,” makes the
following prediction:
“During the lattor part of this year
there will be increased activity through
out the south, foil owed In 1802 by still
bettor times, with heavy Investments of
outside money in railroads, In mineral
and timber properties and In manufac
turing enterprises, and the south will
make rapid and substantial progress In
the development of lta iron Interests, in
the creation of a steel business whioh
will rapidly expand to large proportions,
In the building up of a still greater for
eign commerce, and In the growth of
southern seaports. These will be some
of the leading lines of advancement, but
great progress will be made In he gen
eral industrial aud business Interests of
the whole south.”
TKRXlnUS WARNING.
The best newspaper story of the sea
son comes from The Balnbrldge Globe,
□ere It Is:
□o walked in and put down a dollar,
a silver dollar, that clanked like a car
riage wheel In the stillness of the sanc
tum. Said he:
“There, take it and credit my sub
scription <iulck.”
"What's the matter ?” we said.
“Well,” sala he, “last week I was
fishing out on Spring creek; a thunder
storm came up, and it rained and thun
dered, and lightning flashed all around
me. I crawled Into a hollow log to es
cape it. The rain made the log swell up
until I was fastened In and nearly-
squeezed to death. I began to think of
all my sins and to repent. Suddenly I
remembered that my subscription to
The Globo was not settled up, and I felt
so small about it that I was able to back
right out of the log at once !”
Athens complains of excessive coal
rates, claiming that they are charged
812 per car more than Atlanta. There
is room for reduction In coal latcs
throughout all sections of the state, and
as this is the season when the larger
status of the races iu this section. Such
perverted ideas were Industriously kept
alive by the Republican press and poli
ticians for political purposes. Articles
like that quoted above show that time
and study are revealing the truth and
that the matter is coming to bo properly
understood.
The project of establishing in Ala
bama colonies of Germans to bo raised
In Germany, by a Berlin colonizing com
pany, Is of interest to that state. A
large tract of land has already been pur
chased by the company, and a consider
able body of colonizers are already en
rolled, and will sail for Mobile before
the end of the year. Alabama is ex
ceedingly anxious to enlarge its popula
tion by Immigration and has plenty of
Ane and fertile lands. The south has
attracted only a small proportion of the
many millions of Germans who have
come to the United States within the
past forty years; but if once the current
of German immigration should be turn
ed this way It would be very likely to
increase rapidly In volume, and It would
surely be a powerful lnAuence In the
promotion of the prosperity of this sec
tion.
The leaders of the Democratic party
in Ohio have settled on the 17tli day of
September as the time for the formal
opening of the campaign. Everything
is working harmoniously, and Senator
Brice says the party is in a good condi
tion to carry on a victorious campaign.

The Philadelphia Press, in an edito
rial on congressional gerrymandering,
says:
The apportionment committee of tbe <»eor-
kU legislature ha* agreed upon a bill divid
ing that state into eleveu cougre*slonal dis
trict*. The little opposition It has encoun
tered seem* to foretell it* early passage and
approval by the governor. If It become* a
law Georgia will be tbe tenth state which
lias rearranged Its cougrrs»ional district*
since the bill apportioning representatives
among the different states, under tbe recent
census, wss passed by congress. Tbe other
nine state* ere Alabama, Arkansas, New
Jersey, Massachusetts, Michigan. Indiana,
Minnesota, Wisconsin and California. Re-
districtlng bills were also introduced Into the
Oregon and Washington legislature, but
there Is no record at hand of their passage.
Of the ten reupportlonments, Including
Georgia, thus made, seven were the work of
the Democrats, two of the Republicans, and
InonestJte the control of the legislature
was divided. Of the Democratic apportion
ments, only that now being arranged In
Georgia can be called In any sense fair. This
undoubtedly makes the eleven dlstr'cts of
Georgia solidly Democratic, but there Is
very wlce disparity In the population, and
the bouudury lines of the district* do not
sbow an evident “(Yurt to wrench counties
from their natural position. It is not neces
sary for the Democrats to do this in Georgia,
as there Is a safe white Democratic majority
In the state, and the colored vote is prncti
cally a uonenity. Rut the Democrat* should
have whatever praise the new apportloment
merits.
Our Philadelphia contemporary
doubt scrutinized the new Georgia dis
tricts with partisan eyes in the hope of
discovering something objectionable,
Tbe fact that it pronounces Georgia’s
plan of reapportionment the only one
out of seven Democratic states that can
be called fair is, under tbe circumstan
ces, a very handsome tribnte. If the
Press has failed to discover any gerry
mandering down here it is no use for
anybody else to try.

There is but one man in New York
who is taxed upon $500,000 of personal
property. That is W. W. Astor. There
are over 1,000 persons there who are
rated at over $1,000,000, but they hold
tbe bulk of it either in realty or invest
in some way to escape the personal
property tax.
40S Jackson st.
The world ls full of surprises. Every
day or two some new Invention or a
business enterprise of extraordinary
magnitude startles the people. And the
thieves are not behind the rest of tbe
world. Recently they organlxed
burglar's trust. That was rather start
ling. The king thief, however, lives in
Kansas. He hired a threshing machine
and laborers and threshed out over 1,000
bushels of a farmer's wheat that was
stacked In a field, carried it to market,
got the money for it and disappeared.
Tbe farmer who owned the wheat lives

stacked. The thief was a bold fellow
and took many chances. He secured

steamship of not loss than 3,000 tons

the expenses, which would be more
than $1,000 a day, freight could bo taken
from port to port. Manager Henry E.
Abbey was in consultation with Mr.
Sprecklcs, of the Oceanic Steamship
Line, on his recent visit to San Fran
cisco, negotiating for the exclusive use
of a steamer for two years. Nearly every
