Americus, Ga., Sept. 16, 1801
President Gompus of the Federation
of Labor, in an interview or communi
cation lately given out, baa declared in
favor of the restriction of immigration.
He wants the Americus workiuginen
protected from that class who do not
assimilate with the people of the
country.
The Thomasville Timcs-Enterprise
says if you will observe closely the men
who are loudest in their protestations
about “standing flat-footed on the sub-
treasury platform with both feet,” you
will see that they are not standing at all
but are running for some ofHco. If not
running now they expect to be running
next year.
The newspapers when live and earn
est help a town prodigiously—are,
fact, the most important factors iu build
ing up and enriching a town. Live
newspapers and excellent hotels are ab
solutely essential if there shall bo prog
ress and increase of inhabitants in a
town. Live towns understand that
perfectly.
VETO.
Good for Governor Xorthen! He has
— ! vetoed a bill iucorporating the town of
Established 1879.: Ilordaway in Dougherty county. There
iiLisiiED 1890. j ih no special merit in this particular
1 | veto, outside of that locality, except as
it shows that the governor has at last
recognized his right to use the veto at
will; and having tasted the sweets of
authority, may now be expected “to sail
iuto” a good many more bills that sadly
need vetoing. Xo governor of Georgia
has ever enjoyed such a gold«n opportu
nity to reap fame, and merit the thanks
of the people by vetoing right rndleft
the silly and useless bills that are being
ground out of the Legislative hopper by
the bushel, and much surprise is felt
that the governor has used his power so
sparingly.
There are probably 500 bills pending
that if ever passed, should be promptly
vetoed, on the ground that they are un
necessary, and therefore pernicious.
Let Governor Xorthen rise In his
majesty, aud like Grover Cleveland,
wipe up the earth with the humbugs
that the legislature is seeking to put off
on Georgia in the shape uf laws.
Let the governor lay them out, and
make himself solid with the people, by
the bills lie lias vetoed. There never
was a better chance for a governor to
immortalize hinieelf, and eain the thanks
of posterity. Let the vetoes proceed to
roll, from now uutil the legislature ad
journs.
In this ago of keen competition a man
roust advertise wisely. He must give
the same attention to his advertising
that he does to his stock and store. An
advertisement forms an impression on
the minds of the reader, and it means a
great deal to the advertiser that that im
pression be a favorable one, and that it
be fully sustained in the establishment.
—Exchange.
Amherst College claims the honor of
having been the first institution in the
country to make physical exercise a
compulsory part of the college courso.
Tliis it did iu 1801. The United States
and confederate governments by their
conscription laws of about the same
date also made physical exorciso in the
armies compulsory. Amherst shouldn't
claim too much.
'Since the Rev. Henry Watterson got
his prefix from the Sowanee University,
the edge of his orthodoxy seems to ho
crumbling. Hear him: “The making
of rain by the government will not bf
altogether a blessing. It will do away
with the goodly custom of praying for
rain. When men get everything they
want, they will never think to speak to
the Lord about it.”
The Brunswick Times is engaged iu
teaching its readers the lesson that a
^-newspaper is responsible for no senti
ments that appear in its columns except
those that the paper expresses itself.
City politics appear ao bo waxing
warm thereabouts; and the Times finds
occasion to say that it is the organ of
the whole people; and not of any clique
or wing.
From Atlanta comes this bit of gossip
about a much-told newspaper: “The
Tribunc-of-Romo, which, perhaps,
changes editors as often, or oftener than
any newspaper in the state, has at last
changed hands. Capt. John J. Seay has
sold the paper to Mr. Scantlin, who
comes from Lafayette, Hid., the old
home of Orth Stein, and it is lie who
gave Stein his recent newspaper public
ity. Mr. Seay is entirely out of the
papor.”
The Domination of Evan P. Howell a* tho
democratic candUzte for governor of Georgia
in in range of probability. In fact, that is
the way the Hiatt* U said to be fixed.—Breus-
wick Times
And when that convention meets, it
will bo found tiiftt L. F. Livingston's
name will be on the slate and that he
will be the next governor of Georgia,
unless the Alliance undergoes a radical
revolution in sentiment towards their
present chief before that time. Look
out for Governor Livingston.
England has created a decided sen
sation in European government circles
by seizing the post of Slgri, on the
Island of My:elene, near the mouth of
the Dardanelles. Tiio recent Darda
nelles incident has put John Bull ou his
mettle, and ho don't intend to stand on
any ceremony in protecting his interests,
for his policy has always been to argue
with powder and shell. England will
bluff until fighting becomes necessary,
and then she will tight as long as the
next, not excluding the war-like Turk.
Look out for a racket in Europe before
another year passes.
JUDGE CRISP IN ATLANTA.
Last night Judge Crisp held the young
democracy of Atlanta under the spell of
his eloquence in a manner that few men
in Georgia could equal.
After speaking all over, the country,
east and west, it is meet that he round
off bis campaign with a routing speech
to his home people in the capital of his
state; not because his people need any
further evidence of bis ability and tit
ness for the position to which his call*
ing and election seems now assured, but
because his constituents wish to show
their appreciation of his merits by giv-
iog him au ovation such as few men
have had since Ben Hill passed away.
Xow, let Judge Crisp give Americus a
day some time in the near future, when
the clans can gather and give him such a
send off as will Inn i him right in the
speaker’s chair.
PRINTERS’ INK.
“The road to fortune is through print
ers' ink.—P. T. Barnum.
“My success is owing to liberality in
advertising.”—Robert Donuer.
“Frequent ,and constant advertising
brought me all I owu.”—A. T. Stewart.
“My son, deal with men who adver
tise. Y'ou will never loose by it.”—Ben
jamin Franklin.
“IIow can the world knowa man lias
a good thing unless he advertises the
possession of it.”—Vanderbilt.
After calling attention to the fact
•hat only five per cent., or $8,270, of the
total Immigration to this country during
tho last fiscal year settled in the south,
the Xew Orleans Times-Domocrat says:
“The question of foreign immigration,
therefore, can scarcely he regarded as a
pressing problem in this section, since a
movement of tbis size is inappreciable
In its effects. There is a considerable
immigration into the south, but it is
from the north ade west, of persons of
American birth, so that this section re
mains distinctively American in race and
nationality.” And it will be the salva
tion pt America and American institu
tions that this remain so. The Anglo
Saxon blood of the south is the conserva
tive element of our nationality; and
whenever the south parts with this dis
tinctive feature through a flood of
foreign immigration, then will be in
augurated the beginning of our national
end.

Xew York is the hugest of all Amer
ican cities, and the proportions of the
machinery of its municipal government
almost makes your head swim to con
template. It Is as complicated as the
governments of many foreign countries
and the expense is simply appalling.
The Columbus Sunday Herald, by
Geo. W. Guild & Co., and edited by Jas.
G. Browell, is the name of a new* ven
ture In the field of long felt wants, that
made its first appearance last Sunday.
Its salutatory closes with tbis paragraph,
the good sense of which is commended
to the readers of The Times-Hecorder:
Our aim I. the publication of. nr.t-ela.. ment we have JUSt added UCW
local newspaper, giving once a week nsjn- j
op»ls of everything tint transpires in Co
lumbus, Hose IIill, Kart Highlands, Plnenix
City, Girard and all the neighboring towns
ar Columbus. To establish a paper of this
kind requires time, money, brains, patience,
hard and diligent work. It requires the co
operation of every Interested individual wno
reside* within the borders of the city. By
giving you a good paper we hope to merit
and receive the hearty suppo» t and endorse
ment of every male and female reader of the
city.
PLENTY OF 3IONEY IN NEW YORK.
The Xew Y’ork banks have plenty of
money. There is no doubt about that.
At the close of business hours on Satur
day they had $8,722,775 in excess of legal
requirements. On the same day of the
month last year the amount they held was
$3,300,925 less than the legal require
ments. They are therefore more than
$12,000,000 better off than they wore
a year ago.
And money can be obtained on call in
Xew York at a very low rate of interest,
but time loans are difficult to get Tbis
condition of affairs explain why there is
such stringency in the money market.
The loss of confidence caused by the
Baring Bros.’ disaster has not been fully
restored. Bankers don’t like to let their
money go where they cannot get it im
mediately If they should need It.
They have no particular reason for
thinking tbey will need it, but there is
an unexplainable something in the q-Jp-f-p fin£* of
financial situation which makes them ®
extremely conservative. And they could
not afford to be caught without sufficient
money to meet the demands to which
they must respond as soon as made.
A great deal more money could bo
used with advantage by the banks of
tbis city, but they cannot get it from the
Xew York banks. They are willing to
pay the interest demanded for time
loans, but they could not safely bind
themselves to return the money when
ever it might be called for. Their in
ability to comply with this condition Is
what prevents them from getting all the
money they need.
The financial situation is, however,
gradually Improving. Confidence is re
turning, though slowly. Unless some
unforeseen disaster occurs in the finan
cial world ft will not be long, probably,
before money will be as plentiful as it
was before the present stringency be
gau.—Savannah Xews.
