THIS APPLIES TO US.
Tiik Times-Recobdeb reproduces from
the Macon Evening News with the most
earnest endorsement, the following edi
torial, the truths of which are equally
applicable to Americus. The pressing
need—the absolute necessity—of doing
just what the News points out, has re
peatedly been presented by The Times-
Kecohdeii, but the vital importance of
the matter, to every citizen of Americus,
justiUes its daily reiteration in these col
umns. Let every reader of The Times-
Recorder give this article a careful
perusal and determine to act upon its
suggestion:
No city that is a purely mercantile
community can maintain a course of
steady prosperity. Ia such a city there
mus be altering seasons of prosperity
and depression, such as none but exclu
sively "trade cities” ari subjected to
And tho reason is patent. A city which
is dependent aolely^ipon commerce is a
non producer. It Is merely the inter
mediary betweon the producer and the
consumer, and as such is subject to all
the evils which may befall either of
these two classes; and In an intensified
degree.
The city which is safest from busiuess
depression and violent fluctuations of
prosperity is one which, in addition to
following mercantile pursuits, is also a
manufacturing city. The agriculturist
produces from the ground. The miner
produces from tho earth. The manufac
turer produces from the raw material.
All have their resources to, in a meas
ure, fall back upon whonover those with
whom they deal are suffering from re
verses and either restrict their opera
tions or are slow In meeting their obliga
tions. This the merchant, who (though
a necessary factor in business) Is a uon-
produccr, can not do so. He feels the
full effects of all disasters to those with
whom hn deals. What is true of indivi
duals is equally true of communities, for
communlties-are but aggregations of in
dividuals and both are governed by the
same laws.
The moral of this is that Macon
should, to Its character as • commercial
emporium, add that of a manufactur
ing center. We have here now, we
know, a few factories of different sorts,
but nothing approaching even the num
ber we should have. We are most ad
vantageously situated for almost every
conceivable species of manufactures.
' The cotton and cane fields come right up
to our doors; vest forests are almost In
eight jot our windows; we can almost
ranch ont and touoh- Inexhaustible beds
of coal and Iron; we have) many lines of
transportation reaching out Into th« lo
calities of the raw j material, as well as
to tho markets of the world, and mors
are building. There Is no ressoh why
we shoald not take our proper piece
among tho manufacturing centers of the-
world, save the indifference of our peo
ple to their own Interests.
JLet us wake up from this Rip Van
Winkle sleep, In which we have been In
dulging while the world marched on,
and|teke a proper advantage of our
natural opportunities. While it is true
that no one, or two, or three men can
-command the capital necessary to inau
gurate an era of manufacturing pros
perity, by n combination of the many, by
4 anion of effort and a concert of aotion,
4>y him who has mueb subscribing much
and by him who has little eabsoribing
Uttle, the thing can be done. Let the
factory chimney spring skyward, let the
hum and the rattle and the roar of ma
chinery resound in our central city until
at last Macon shall take her proper
place as at least the first - city of the
state, and produce something of her own
as a basis for permanent prosperity as
wall as handling the products of the in
dustry of others. It can' be done. Let
us do It
We are soon to have new silver coins.
With the beginning of the next new year,
the half and quarter dollar and the dime
that have been familiar for over a half
• century will begin to be retired, and s
new design for-esch piece will be substi
tuted. The new coins, it is stated by
the director of the mint, will be radical
ly different from those now In use, and
of a design that will at once be recog
nised aa handsomer than any ooln ever
Issued In this country. The designs
tested for the new half-dollar, quarter
and dime will be a elastic head of Liber
ty, Instead of the sitting figure of her,
on the obverse side of the coins, and the
cout-of-arms of the United States on the
reverse side. The act of congress author-
fifing this change provides that It shall
not be again undertaken for twenty-five
THE GEORGIA INSANE ASYLUM.
The Columbus Eaqnirer-Sun publishes
the letter reproduced below, and falls
into a very natural error, that of suppos
ing that a sensibls and rational letter
from an inmate of the Asylum is neces
sarily evidence of sanity:
Irrane Asylum orOKoaoia, Mill toot-
VILLE, Or., Ootoher 21th, 1881.—Editor En-
qurer-Hun: Notlclof jour editorial In the
Enquirer-Bun of October 23d, I have to aay
that there It do lack of accommodation!
here for Inmelee, If the rocmt are vacated
by those who ought to be eent off. There are
hundred* here DOW who w.,uld be better off
at home then here, who, it they were lutane,
t re now recovered and are a useless expense
to the State, and who are anxious to get off
If they could be dlacharged. Why they are
not eent oil I cannot cctoceive, unless It is be-
cans- the authoritie, here are unwilling to
let them xo a- long n- they can keep them
here. Ttie trustees meet here nn the 28th
lust., and If they would take the time and
trouble lo examine each patient, they would
llnd hundreds that could be dls-hatged, so
that room could he mute for those all over
the Hiatt- who ceed care end attention.
Many ure pul here who ought never lo have
been received, end olhers havewrecovered
since they eaine and are not tn a condition
to he k-pt longer. If you wish to render the
State a great service and at the same time
Ik of great advantage to a large clasa of our
unfortunate population, let the public press
call attention to the management and If the
trnsteeM do not remedy It the legislature can
lie invoked.
I will read your article lo the trustee, next
Wedne-day and will tell them what they
should know, and I have some knowledge,
because I was Attorney Ueuerul under Col-
lultL,and I ougntnot to have been sent here
ns a lunatic, but It wss done to p.euse my
relatives Yourstru’y,
K. N. Ely.
The editor of The Timks-Rkcoiider
made a pretty thorough investigation of
this institution just a few days after the
above was written, and acquired a good
deal of Information that everybody
should possess, and especially the edi
tors of the Georgia press. He saw and
conversed with Maj. Ely and made care
ful inquiries Into his case.
It is but just to Maj. Sly and the man
agement of the asylum to say that he is
partly right and partly wrong.
So far as Maj. Ely is concerned, he is
not technically Insane, and his presence
at the insane asylum is from the fact
that Georgia has no inebriate asylum as
it should have. He was placed there by
his relatives because there was nowhere
else to put him He has virtually been
restored, and he only remains there to
insure his complete recovery from the
disease of inebriety, which uncontrolled
results in permanent Insanity.
If the Inebriates should be removed to
an inebriate asylum as they would be if
Georgia did its duty in building one,
much room would thus be provided for
the Inssne who sre now erowded out
Then there are many cases of imbe
cility, where the patients are incurable,
but must be taken care uf like Infants,
and for whom no provision now exists
outside the lunatic asylum.
There are also a great mguy epileptic
patients,’who are perfectly sane except
at longer or shorter Intervals, but who
must be kept under guard, because at
these uncertain periods they become
dangerously Inssne. Maj. Ely baa no
doubt been misled by the appearanoe of
some of these people, just as anybody
else wouli, not long familiar with thtilr
It Is a fact well known by the physi
cians from long experience that patients
may remain In the asylum years after
being apparently recovered, but upon
being discharged and returning to the
surroundings la whloh their hisaalty
origlaally developed, they win again b*-
come Inning, In other words thoy
insane outside the asylum, but apparent
ly 8*d« '■in It. No doubt many.each
esses Mve misled Maj. Ely'a unprofes
sional Observation, just as they would
deceive anybody bnt a physician, expert
in Insanity.
Editor Richardson need give himself
no uneasiness about the internal affairs
of the asylum's management. It Is as
near perfect as skill and ability can make
It; but the crying needs are more liberal
appropriations by the Legislature and
the building of an Inebriate asylum, and
probably also an asylum for imbeciles;
so that tbe lunatlo asylum may be open
for tbe reception of only those suffering
from real insanity in tbe esrliest stages
of their disease, when cures sre more
likely. «

One of the first to try it was a
noted advocate of equal suffrage am] she

minutes after he accepted.
A foreign doctor says that kissing Is
a prolific factor of disease. A portrait
of this doctor shows him to be weazen
ed, bald-headed, ancient, red-nosed and
cross-eyed. Consequently, his inability
ta spread disease in this way leads liim
to croak over sour grapes.
