remarks: “The past month or two
have been unfortunate months lor
Georgia. Both the state legislature and
train robber* have been operating over
there.”
The next annual session of the Natio
nal Alliance will be held In Indianapolis
on the 17th of November. Its proceed
ing. will be watched with almost as
much intere.t as those of a national
political convention.
There have boen more ridiculous and
outrageous scenes during the present
session of tire legislature, than have
characterized the proceedings of any of
its predecessors. The people of Georgia
have a right to complain of tbla waste of
the peoplo's money.—Atlanta Herald.
SOUTHERN PROSPERITY.
Ur. John Gill, president of the Mer
cantile Trust and Deposit Company, and
Ur. Frank S. Hambleton. of Hambieton
A Co., returned to Baltimore yesterday
from a trip to the south. They apeak
glowingly of the brightening business
prospects of that section, and aay that
the indications for increased prosperity
are [apparent in every state through
which they passed.
Ur. Gill and Mr. Hambleton [left Bal
timore last Thursday with Ur. Richard
U. Venable, Ur. Hawkins, of Americus,
Ga., and Ur. Charles Watkins, of Rich
mond, to attend a meeting of the South
Bound Railroad Company, held in Sa
vannah on Friday. A number of Balti
more capitalists are interested in the
affairs of the South Bound, and it was
to look after these interests that Uessrs.
Gill, Hambleton and Venable attended
the meeting. The South Bound road ia
about completed between Savannah,
Ga., and Columbia, S. C., and will afford
the most direct route from point, on
lines verging from the north to Colum
bia and all southern points, partied
larly Sivannah, Ga., and Jacksonville
Fla.
The Baltimore party passed over the
South Bound road on Friday, and found
its construction tlrst-class. “In fact,”
said Ur. Gill, “when inspected a few
days before by the railroad commission'
era of South Carolina, it was pronounced
by them to be one of the best construct
ed roads in the state.” Continuing he
said:
Our attention while in Savannah was
called to the great activity in the gen'
eral business of that city. Although
Govekxob Campbell showed that
-while the price of Ohio wools had under
gone an average docline of two and a
half cents a pound, the price of foreign
wooia had experienced an advance of
four cents a pound. Thisahowi the dif
ference between the McKinley tariff and
free trade.
Tub Atlanta Herald has come to the
front quloker, and is making itself heard
seen and felt in a more marked degree
than any other paper in Georgia. The
retirement of Sam Small, afuiV a me-
teorio career of two weeks, didn't dim
Its brightness, for Joe Carter and Black
burn are not only maintaining its stand'
rard, but are Improving it every day.
Ik McKinley is elected governor of
Ohio, which is not improbable, as the
state has always been Republican on a
full vote, such as the present exciting
campaign ia likely to bring out, he will
certainly be a candidate for the preal
dential nomination. The Democrats
couldn't ask for anything better than
that he should secure it. He may pos
sibly win in Ohio, but lie could never
carry the Union. The country is dead
set sgsinst McKinloy prices.—Age
Herald. ,
It naed to be that New England was
tho birthplace of all the “lama,” but
now Kansas claims that distinction.
The latest from that center la the or
ganization of a “Womans’ Alliance”
that will co-operate with the Farmora'
Alliance. The object of the association
ia to establish a bureau for the better
education of women on economlo, social
and political questions and to make and
develop a better state mentally and
financially with a full and unconditional
use of the ballot.
Euitok Sin Lewis has yet to acquire
bis second sight to enable him to see the
consistency—nay tho beautiful harmony
—that exists between Col. Livingston
and Statesman Watson. Hs tries to
s&ddlo the Ocala platform with the bur
den of this inconsistency. He says:
“The Ocala platform would teem to be a
very “elastic” concern. Watson favors
free trade, Livingston opposes It, Wat
son favors government ownership of
railroads, Livingston favors railroad
ownership of government.—And yet
both of tiiem stand on the Ocala plat
form.”
The “King So'omon” business at the
Piedmont Exposition it too reslistic,
and shows up too plainly the fact that
Solomon, with his “300 wives and 700
other lady friends,” was the great origi
nal Mormon, to suit the advanced vtan-
dard of Christian morality of the pres
ent day; and so tho church papers and
the ministers are kicking pretty high
about Its presentation by Sandy Cohen,
a lineal descendant, may he, of that
much married Hebrew monarch. Hut
Sandy ia in clover; he wants liberal ad
vertising, and he is getting It free of ex
pense.
The Atlanta Herald ia authority for
the statement that a vary determined
effort to boycott the Piedmont Exposi
tion on account of the King Solomon
show, la being made by tbe Wesleyan
Christian-Advocate and numerous min
is ten. While tbe intentions of these
ministers an tbe beat, tbe foot is that
they ere merely playing into tbe band of
the cute Sandy Cohen, who wouldn't be
better nltad if be bad the columns of
tha Christian Advocate placed at.feis dis
posal to advertise tba exposition, Hag
Solomon and hit ballet. The more

the receipts of cotton for tbe past sea
son were unprecedented in Savannah,
reaching to more than a million of bales,
the receipts from the present crop arc
now some 2,300 bales in excess of that
of the correspondiog period of last year,
The crop is moving rapidly, and If the
receipts Indicate anything, it would be
significant of a very large crop. This
may be qualified somewhat by tbe fact
that the picking season during the pait
two weeks has been favorable, and may
account in some degree for the unusually
early and large receipt*. The quality
of the new cotton averages about mid
dling, and It la being freely taken by
homo and foreign buyers. I noticed
large number of English and continental
buyers in tbe market. From Savannah,
by Invitation of Colonel Hawkins, presi
dent of the Savannah, Americus A [Mont
gomery railroad, wo went over that line.
The road connects at Lyons, In Georgia,
with the Savannah and Western Rail
road, sovonty-five miles west of Savan
nah, and runs in a due westerly course
to Montgomery. Ala. Although this
property is comparatively new, and the
entire road will not be opened until the
middle of next month, the volume of
business already developed along its fin
ished line was surprising to ail of us.
The combination of business formed
by the immense virgin timber lands ad
jacent to tbe road, large supplies of
naval stores and the immense movement
of cotton along the route, form the bazla,
in my judgment, of a most prosperous
future for this property. There Is no
other railroad in close prfixlmity to the
field occupied by it, and it fully meets
the requirements of the people In that
section of tbe state. While only about
two-thirda of tbe road ha* been in opera
tion during the past twelve months, the
net earnings have been sufficient to pay
tbe interest on the bonded debt of
$12,000 a mile from Lyon* to Mont
gomery, a distance of about 275 miles.
We returned late on Saturday night to
Americua and remained there until Sun
day evening, when we took the train for
Macon and Atlanta on our way to Balti
more.
I was greatly impressed with tbe out
look of affairs in the south. It is emerg
ing from tho depression of tbe past
twelve months, ready to take fresli hold,
meeting her maturing obligations, and it
destined again to participate In the
general Improvement of tho wholo coun
try. The only thing that the south
needs is additional capital and less legis
lation. if some of the legislature* would
simply adjourn and leave the |>eople to
work out their own problems, no coun
try, in my judgment, in the course of a
few years would presuut a stronger
financial outlook.”—Baltimore Sun.
STAND CK TO HIM.
The Times-Rkcohdeh calls special
Attention to tho card of Ur. J. F. Itos*
elsewhere, for the purpose of urging the
people of Sumter county, whether in the
country or tho city, to co-operate with
Ur. Rosa In seeing that Sumter county
makes snch a display at the Piedmont
Exposition aa will make her easily the
banner county of the State.
Year after year, Mr. Ross has worked
like a Trojan to Illustrate tbit county in
the state fair contests; and lie baa won
premiums under circumstance* that
would have discouraged most men.
He has not had anything like the help
from the people that ho was entitled to,
in view of tbe public spirit he manifest
ed, and The Times-Recordeh hopes all
tbe county alliances will pass resolutions
of commendation of his past zeal and
prospective efforts, and urge the farm
ers to swell tho exhibit he proposes to
make.
The people of Americus should do all
they can to encourage Ur. Ross; be
cause it is by the efforts of euch men
that a county gains that reputation that
Invites Immigration of tbe high stamp
tiiat is needed and wanted In the South.
Help Mr. Ross to make an exhibit to
which every Sumter county man can
point with prldo in the Piedmont Expo
sition halls, and say, “I’m from that
coun'y."

Ishmaeiite to its table of exchanges, be
cause the genial Sid Lewis always has
something spicy to say; is always
shelling out” somebody or something,
and is most entertaining at all times.
Just now he ia jumping on the Ocala
platform with both feet, (there la a
marked difference between “jumping
on” and “standing on” whon it comes to
a practical platform) and here i* what he
says about that Interesting piece of
architecture: “The Alliance Legisla
ture will be long and affectionately re
membered by the people—particularly
Alilancemen—for its large increase of
state taxes. Who cares for expenses!
Isn’t tbe government going to lend
money, world without end, to everybody
that wants it, on the security of shucks,
sawdust and weevil-eaten peas? What
the farmers need it not to be able to bor
row money but be able to lend it. The
aub-trezaury plan proposes to enable
them to ruin themselves by borrowing
To borrow money, to keep up tho
false system of farming to which their
distresses, in large measure, are due,
would simply bo piling Pelion of bank
ruptcy on Ossa of misfortune. Tbe plan
which the Ishmaeiite has urged them for
twelve years to adopt would enable them
to lend money: Raise your farm sup
plies and make cotton a surplus crop.
All wise farmers know that tho Ishmael-
He's plan is the best.”
