Editor and Minuter, THE TIMES PUBLISHING COMPANY, Americas, Ga. America*, Ga., October 14, 1891. The United States steamer Dispatch, ashore at Assateague, Vs.’, Is a total wreck. Dr. Mapothkb tlnds that a diet of oatmeal and brown bread greatly pro motes the growth of hair. Cotton fell an eighth of a cent yester- day and bets are freely offered that it will now steadily continue falling until our legislative solona are safely at home. We t.ovF. to boast of the advanced civ ilization of the Nineteenth century, but of the entire population of the globe there are still 250,000,000 people who go naked. Tiiehe is a squaro stand-off between Cleveland and Harrison. Grovor wishes that hia baby had been a boy, and Ben jamin wishes that his son Russell had been a girl. In view of the Cleveland boom that is now being rocked In the cradle of little Ruth, the New York Sun Is moved to remark: "The Cleveland press is going to give us a baby canvass.” Commenting on the prediction that Baby Cleveland will be a brunette, the Kansas City Journal says that she prob. ably Inherited the black eye that her father got in the fall of 1888. A convention has been concluded between Germany and the United States which American cereals aro to bo ad mitted into the former country free of duty in exchange for the free admission of German sugar hero. It is said that John R. McLean.of the "Cincinnati Enquirer has obtained con trol of tho Cincinnati Commercial-Ga zette through whiob the nomination of Blaine for the presidency will be openly advocated and Forakcr will be advocated for tho senate. The free-pass bill was put off by the legislature until thero was only time to make but not discuss the many amend ments which, was known would bo on band. The one proposed by the repre sentative from Sumter, vIe, requiring every member to pay for all passes he had used, brought matters to a focus. The bill is dead. William Henhy Smitii, of England, Conservative leader of the House of Commons, lately deceased, made hia money by getting a monopoly of all the news stands In England. William Henry Smith, of the United States, made his money in the onoe monopoly, the Asso ciated Press. Both made their fortunes In the newt business. Yesterday’s cotton lecolpts at this port were 15,834 hales, against 15,316 bales the same day last year. It la no ticed that the receipts are running re- tnakably even this year, and that there is seldom any unusual variation from day to day, the receipts of oach day being generally slightly ahead of tha same day last year.—Savannah News. Five millions of dollars arc spent in the state of New Hampshire among her her mountains every year, and a much larger sum can bo stopped In Georgia by such Investments as the Wlpdsor Hotel for the winter abode of Invalids. This, however, can only be accomplished by judicious and liberal advertising. Is it not time that the Americus Investment Company was up and about tbeir scheme of advertisement. There Is no good reason why the coming winter should be sllowed to slip by,"and If not, why not crystallse our plans and make every thing work up to them ? It has been so long since anybody asked the question, “Does the Koely mo tor motor’ that the pnbllc may be some what surprised to find that Keely is still "moting," even if his motor don't, and the stockholders are cighlng, “So mote it be.” In the Engineering Magazine for October 1s the report of a gentleman who baa Investigated it quite recently, and with the same result as heretofore, that it is an unparallelled fraud; and yet thousands of dollars go annually from one set of people or another Into the coffers of Keely, who says, "So mote it be” so long as this fleecing continues. Keely is a more wonderful machine than his motor. The New York Herald Is now the owner of the largest printing press In the world. R. Hoe A Co. have been over a year building it, It will print, cut, paste, fold, count and deliver com plete forty-eight thousand ton or twelve page Heralds In one hoar, which Is equivalent to eight hundred a minute, or • trifle over forty-three a second. It has a most voracious appetite fpnwfitte paper and it is not satisfied with being fed from one roll—it most have three. This gigantic < machine will. over twenty-five (piles of ho nr, drawing- it ■gain in the snap* for tbs world to read. THU SOUTH AT CHICAGO. The Manufacturers' Record thlnkB there is very great danger that the World’s Fair will prove an Injury rather than a benefitto the south. In speaking of It, the Record says that the World's Fair will be the greatest exposition which has ever been seen, and that the number of visitors will be f ar In excess of the attendance at any preceding woild's fair, no longer admit of any question. Before the gates are open probably upwards of 150,000,000 will have been spent on the buildings and ex hibits. The whole world will be fully represented there. The west, the north west and the Pacific coast will probably make the finest exhibits of their re sources in soil, minerals and timbers, and of their manufactured and agricul tural products, that have ever been seen. What Is the south going to do ? It must meet these other sections In a fair fight for supremacy, and win or lose the greatest opportunity that has ever been offered for attracting the at tention of the world. A meagro display will be overshadowed by the magnificent exhibits of other states, and do more harm thin good. Against the Iron ores of the south will be put the splendid ores of the Lake Superior region; south ern coals and cokes will have to meet in competition tho coals aid cokes of Penn sylvanla, Washington and other states; southern timber the magnificent timbers of California and Washington. It is a critical time for tho whole south. Shall wo make such unequalled displays of our natural resources as to draw to the south the attention of the millions of visitors to the fair, or shall we, through lack of energy and enterprise, lose the chance and see the tide of men and money turned to other sections ? THE people vs. the railroads. Pat Calhoun signified his willingness to go before the people on the issues in volved In the railroad legislation which has been pending in the Legislature. The defeat of the Berner bill may result in such a general campaign. Thera las strong indication that the regulation or control of the railroads Is to be made tbe issue of tbe next campaign. The Olive bill of tbe previous session and tbe Ber- ner-Smith bill of this session, were bare ly defeated by the most rigorous efforts of the conservative element of tho Legis lature, and public scDtiment; but with such incendiaries as Tom Watson to In fluence the minds of the masses, the question just laid aside is by no means dead; and will come up again more vig orously than ever. Mr. Calhoun, no doubt, recognizes that the war is on; and that tbe properties lie represents will be legislated out of existence on the next round, unless he begins “a cam paign of education” In time to forestall such an event. If such be the programme, he will be met by Watson and Berner, and others on the stump; and suoh another exciting campaign may be expected as has not been seen slnoe the time of tbe Whigs and Democrats, wheu Hill, Stephens, Johnson, Toombs and Joe Brown measured swords. It is obvious that tbe fight la going to come; and the sooner tbe issues now pending are settled, the better for the stability of values and the prosperity of Georgia. The resignation of the Hon. Henry W. Blair of New Hampshire as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten tiary to China has just been accepted by President Harrison, with appropriate expressions of regret and esteem. Mr. Blair was appointed and eonflrmed in February last. For reasons well known to everybody, It has been his fortune to exercise the functions of his office at Washington rather than at Pekin. For nearly eight months he baa been, as a minister, decidedly more extraordinary than plenipotentiary. Ills functions have been con- fined to drawing his salary ahd signing the receipts for the same. There has been an attempt on the part of some of Mr. Blair’s friends to give the impression that he has conscientiously refused to receive 81,000 a month from tbe Govern ment as pay for work which Minister Denby was performing. In tbe absence of conclusive evidence wo cannot credit this report. If Mr. Blsir has not had the •alary in view, why has be remained in office for eight months? Certainly not from public spirit or for glory. At all events, the Hon. Henry W. Blair, re leased at last from official cares, Is at liberty to turn his attention to the sup pression of the rum traffic on tbe high seas; and may good luck attend him 1— New York Sun. TBH COTTON SEED COMBINE, 'f The South Carolina plantora have not succeeded very well in their Sea Island “cotton seed combine.” It has been known for a long time that the long and silky staple was not so much a product of a special soil as of skillful selection and crossing, and as portions of Georgia and Florida bare suitable soils the intent was to limit production by limiting the sale of seed to those who preferred to buy rather than to produce through an exercise of skill. Many of those who belonged to tbe skillful producers fa vored the combine, but better judgment prevailed and among those holding the latter was Mr. W. G. Hinson, of James Island, whose address proved the turn ing point in the consideration of tbe question. He at first favored the Idea, but after consideration he became con vinced that It was “utterly and absolute ly impracticable.” Ills views are thus stated by the News and Courier of Charleston, S. C.; In Ills opinion, even if a perfect com bination could be formed, it would be a great disadvantage to tbo islands, as combinations always stimulated the op position. Within the past season seven hundred bags of long staple cotton, a variety new to the market, and totally distinct from Sea Island cotton, and yet having a staple of from au incli and a quarter to an an inch and a half, had been grown from green seed. Mr. Hin son said that he believed that in five years’ time, by careful selection, a vari ety could be obtained that would com pete formidably with any of our grade ” This is a sensible deduction, for whilst locality and soil favored those williog to expend the energy iu the pro duction of a very valuable side Issue in their Increased sales through others buying tlielr seed, yet, as Mr. Hinson says, it is never wise to stimulate oppo sition.
