THE TIMES PUBLISHING COMPANY, Americus, Ga. Americus, Ga., Sept. 2, 1801. AMKKicrs. 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 From time to time, in the historj of I that led to his enfranchisement, our land, there have come spells ,.f : the result has been Injurious to the race, stagnation of business and uncertainty : Allowed the exercise of his full rights which have led to feelings of despond* American civilization would pass encyand almost gloom. This is the •*» were the negro ruled by force of history of cvcy land and every condo cumbers. The denial of those rights tion of the human family. Why this ss «M. T «*>» defended under a fair con- so, no one can hazard an opinion, but .traction of etliic. Nor can the killing the fact remains, that it is foolish to of a human being by another he so de- imagine that distant fields are eeet fended. In both cases there is established gj. ecn ac anomalous condition when ethical From one end of the country To :be rule* do not apply and man does other comes the universal of that which is neccssaiy and not right. “Times are chaugedr* The Indian possesses equally the rights While this may appear to be the truth negroes. But the best opinion of on the surface, yet there is no change. . *he ruling race is that the exercise of During the past fifty years men whol* uC ^ rights would not be for the are now living distinctly remember j ultimate beuetitof the whole race, in when tiie outlook was ten times more i eluding in that term all human beings, threatening of disaster than the present. 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 by the people of the different sections 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 ? IVhut field of activity is unoccupied ? Where can capital or ability drift to that promises a better field than at home 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. Governor Campbell, too, lias regained part of the winter supply is shipped It j |||a wonted goo<1 health. ailli ls vigorous wauld net bo a bad Unto to lower the aml bu0 t rate a little, \t there is a power in the J JUST SO. 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. CUT PRICES Still the ule at Beall & Oakley’s. USE PRINTER'S INK.

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 several miles from where hie wheat was stacked. The thief was a bold fellow and took many chances. He secured about 81,000, and it now enjoying him self, probably. be able to exhibit the in a steamship, taking with hor the com pany and scenery. For that purpose a steamship of not loss than 3,000 tons should be ‘chartered, and to help defray 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.
