Roue, Ga., Is now in the throes of tlie
organization of a “law and order
league,"which tbe Tribune is opposing;
and tbe Hustler favoring. A number of
the leading citizens have signed tlie
call, which is worded as follows:
“We, the undersigned citizens of Hoyd
county, desiring to sec tbe law, and especial
ly the municipal law of this etty, executed,
and declring to see upright and honorable
men In otttce, do solemnly pledge ourselves
Ss members of the |j,w and order League of
Rome, Go., to assist In fartberingths welfare
of this city, by enforcing laws now, or wbtcb
shall hereafter be en rte,t.”
Outsiders might infer that Rome was
made to howl by a very disorderly act
of people. If there really exists a need
for such an organization os a law and
order league la that classic city.
IVUAT THE PRESS SAYS.
It is gratifying to see the unanimity
with which the press of Georgia has
taken up the line laid down by The
Tiues-Recorder in its issue of Tuesday
last in opposition to the Berner railroad
hill, and all such railroad legislation.
The dally press, tlie country weeklies,
with and without Alliance proclivities,
are coming out boldly and plainly Id op
position to this measure, some advocat
ing tlie adoption of the Goodwin substi
tute, which is a modified form of the
Berner bill; while others still get upon
the higher plane adopted by The Times-
Recobder, that no legislation whatever
Is needed.
If the Georgia press is any criterion
I or judging popular sentiment, tbe peo
ple of Georgia are against tne Berner
bill, and wand want to stand squarely on
the platform laid down by The Times-
Recoroer, that of letting the commis
sion manage the railroads under the
present wise and satisfactory laws.
BEFORE AND AFTER.
The prospect Is thst there will be no
scarcity of candidates In the next con
gresslonal campaign In tbe Sixth. The
Mtcon News says:
Monroe county may bare two candi
dates for congress from the Sixth dis
trict, to wit: T. B. Cabaniss and Bob
Berner. The prospect is that Bibb will
have live candidates, as follow: We will
tell the names later.
Yes, and tbe candidacy of Mr. Berner
for congress is tbe true “mllk-ln-tbe-
coocoanut" as regards that Berner rail
road bill now pending before tbe Leg!s<
lature. He Is posing as tlie champion
of the people against the “btarsted mo
nopolies.” but when the people reward
him with a seat in Congress, his status,
like that of all other politicians who
have “got there,” will be, In the lan

The crop of cotton of 1890-01 foots up
8,052,597 bales of about 471 pounds net.
Tbe acreage from which this crop was
gathered was 20,852,320 and the average
yield of lint per acre was 195 pounds.
This was the largest yield by two pounds
per acre ever known before. Tbe aver
age of tbe five years previous to 1890
was less tliau 105 pounds per acre. In
1882 the average yield
Twenty-nine boys employed by tbe
Augusta glass works struck Monday.
They asked for an increase of pay from
40 cents to 50 cents a day President
Miller told the boys that the company
was not in a position to grant an in
crease, and twenty-nine of them went
out. Tbe company employs about
fifty boys. One white boy alone went
out. Tbe other strikers are colored
boys. One negro boy refused to strike.
Those wbo remained in are all of them
white.
One of the biggest baptizings ever wit
nessed in Georgia occurred in Laurens
county recently. Hundreds of colored
people have professed conversion, in a
revival. Five or six thousand people as
sembled at a pond to witness the baptiz
ing of 206 candidates, who gathered on
the banks arrayed in white. For half an
hour songs were sung, after which a
white-haired deacon led the candidates
down to the water, one by one. The
time taken to baptize tbe 201) was one
hour and a half.
Mr. Charlie Rowland of Athens is a
prodigy in bis manipulation of the little
ivory warriors of tlie chess board. His
prowess in this mimic warfare Is won
derful, exhibiting astonishing power in
the plans and combinations by which he
conducts bis men to victory. Judge
Cobb, who was at one time regarded
without a superior in Georgians an tuna-
tcur chess player gives as blsnpinlon that
Mr. Rowland is the finest chess player
in Georgia to-<lay. Mr. Rowland’s gift
is certainly a rare one, and Ic may yet
rate him along with Pan! Morphy and
other chess cetebrilies, whose names nre
household words.
Mr. Oscar Wheel's and Mr. Boas Burt,
two young men of Oglethorpe, were on a
trade or swap for pistols on Sunday.
Both were handling them carefully, and
while Burt was handling a pistol belong
