Americus, Ga., Sept. 27, 1801. Is the expectant public aware of the fact that Tom Watson has not written a card or defined hit position in several week, ? When goli was going out of tlie United States the goidites said it was all duo to too muck silver, and now that it is coming back in double quantities they aay it is the fear of silver that is bring' ing It , Tub Opelika, (Ala.) Industrial New* 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 BotdJ'e abe/w, mads up of hi* old Mor- non ancestor's high-kicking ballet Is r ' 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." OPENING And G-rand Display of Pine Dress G-oods, Notions, Etc. -A.T- Beall & Oakley’s EVERY DAY. The TniKS-KECoiinzB welcomes tho 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.” Our goods are all new, no accumulation of old goods of seasons past and gone, but pret ty and stylish. PROFESSIONAL CARDS T.
