AN IMPORTANT CRISIS.
Many of our people are too busy to
give much thought to public affair* just
now, unless their attention is called to
some special matter. Therefore, The
Times-Becohder assumes the duty this
morning of saying to the people of Amer
icas that a vast deal depends upon what
yon are going to do at the primary elec
tion.*
Three aldermen are to be chosen to
serve two years. Hare you thought
bow much depends on a proper selec
tion f
Your property, your business, all your
local affairs will be regulated and con
trolled largely by the three men whom
you select, as they constitute half the
power of your city government.
Don’t make the mistake of supposing
it ie a matter of little importance who is
selected.
Discuss it freely among yourselves,
and have some definite plan mapped out
before election day comes.
If you mako a mistake now you can’t
remedy it in two years.
You want the very best men in Ameri-
cu* for these places; men of wisdom,
experience and conservatism.
The primary system perfectly enables
you to select such men; but in order to
prevent too much “scattering,” and to
conceutratc your votes upon a few men
who are specially fitted, and who have
the time and are willing to make the
sacrifice to give the people efficient ser
vice, you should talk the matter over
together, and announce right away such
names aa seem to meet the approval of
most of the voters and tax-payors. '
Let certain good men be talked, and
their consent gained to serve the public;
then announce their names and work for
their election.
Dear in mind that the very men who
are least anxious for the places are most
likely to be the very men yon need.
Don’t leave this question to take care
of itself, and then perhaps find when
too late that you have neglected your
duty as a citizen, and injured ,’yourself
as a tax-payer. Give the publio needs a
few day* of your time right now; it will
be to your interest to do it
The Newport Newt (Va) Sun rep^^l
that the rush of eoal and grain to 1^9
place is beyond the power of the Chess'
peaks A Ohio Ballroad to handle.
Eighteen hundred carloads of grain
have. It is said, been engaged for ship
ment to Europe via that port.' This la
the business which the Richmond Ter
minal says It proposes to give to Savan
nah and Brunswick over its lines; and
for this same business the Savannah,
Americua A Montgomery railroad will,
In connection with the Louisville A
Nashville and tfee Kansas City, Memphis
A Birmingham roads, become a live
oompetitor in the early future,
link in the line between Louisville and
Kansas City and Savannah and Bruns
wick, there is an enormous business in
store for the Savannah, America* A
Montgomery.
The Times-Kecoudeb approved the
aetien of Govornor Northern In re-ap
pointing the old board of trustees of the
lunatic asylum, and remarked that the
Governor took no stock in the talk of
mismanagement. .The Columbus . En-
qnirer-Sun erroneously construes this re
mark as applying to Its late artlolea on
the asylum question. Such waa not the
Intent of this paper. The reference was
to the talk which circulated around the
Legislatu.e. The Enquirer-Sun's arti
cles contain no reflection upon the
board of trustees.
The Crawfordville Democrat, one of
the best equipped country weeklies in
the State, can be bought at once for a
very reasonable sum, either all cash or
on installments to good parties. The
proprietor has offers that he must accept
or reject by December 25, 1891. The
paper can be bought very reasonable at
, once. It is a good chance for the right
young man. Address C. G. Moore,
Crawford, or Crawfordville, Ga.
Don't scatter your shot at the pri
mary, Find out whom your neighbors
want, and agree upon some good men
with them. If yon are not careful some
man whom the majority at the people
do not want may be nominated by the
concentrated action of his friends, while
your scattering votes nnd lack of con
centrated action may put better men In
in the rear.
hereditary genius.
The theory of hereditary genius, espe
cially in military ami State matters, has
long been held by students of history.
Spencer's position that man comes into
thia world a bundle of inherited capaci
ties and inclinations, and developed by
circumstances, ha* proven Itself true to
close observers. Tslue, in his recent
work on French history, has taken this
Idea in all ita meaning in bis accounting
for that anomaly of modern history—
Napoleon Bonaparte—tracing bis ances
try back through a long line of fierce
feuds aud bloody scenes in bis native
Island to the fountain head of his faml
ly, Italy, and there finding In the Italian
character of the middle ages the true ex
planatlon of his nature, which had for
centuries been carried latent in the blood
until circumstances suddenly developed
It In all Its intensity.
Thinkers and investigators are also
beginning to appreciate the fact that the
commission of crime is the result of he
redity, especially the crimes of violence
and theft.
In fact, it Is just ss natural for some
people to steal and kill as It Is for a cat
to catch a mouse; and that hereditary
inclinations are largely restrained by
few; and to some extent In higher wallu
of life by education and surroundings.
When the tendency to kill or steal ia
unusually displayed, a good judge of
physlogomy or cranlology, can read It
just as distinctly in the shape of the
head and features as If It were stamped
in actual lettcra upon the face. ,
DIRECT FOREIGN TRADE.
The Manufacturer’s Record, of Balti
more, of November 21, In reviewing
the Industrial progress of the South,
says:
“The broadening out of Southern ad
vancement is Illustrated this week In the
official announcement of the inaugura
tion of fonr regular European steamship
lines from Newport News—the first reg
ular lioea to Europe from any port south
of Baltimore—whleh must mark tho be
ginning of an ever increasing direet for
eign trade. It is not simply intended
that these steamers shall take outward
cargoes, but that the import business
shall be worked up with a view to bring
ing in foreign goods for Western distrib
ution. Arrangements have already boen
made for loading about 20 steamers on
these four lines before the end of the
year, and heavy contracts have been
made for the shipment of Western prod
ucts—grain, flour provisions, etc. The
practical Inauguration of these Hues
through the efforts of tho Cbosapoake A
Ohio railroad, will necessarily force other
Southern railroad systems reaching the
Atlantic and Gulf porta to take steps to
secure the establishment of foreign
steamship lines. Thus, while the low
price of ootton Affects for the time being
the business Interest* of the South,
there Is a steady advancement In general
development that will add greatly to the
prosperity of this whole section."
THE GIRL'S INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.
The Times.Recqrder publishes
very interesting letter this morning from
Miss Jolla Montgomery Crowell, a niece
of Mr. John R. Shaw, written from Mil
ledgevlllc, where abe Isa student.
The newness of tbe enterprise has so
prevented the general publio from being
ss well posted as It should be regarding
tbe merits of this industrial school for
girls, and Miss Crowell's letter will be
rend with pleasure for this reason.
There should be a dozen girls there
from Sumter county, a* this I* an instl-
tntion that merits the heartiest moral
support and patronage of all.
It would be a good Idea for the friends
of female eduoatloa to act upon the re
quest made by this young lady in tbe
matter of contribution* of books and
other literature to thelUbrary of this col
lege. Almost everybody can spare a
volume from their libraries, or buy a
good book and tend it there; and The
Times-Recorder hopes a generous pub
lic wilt not neglect thia opportunity of
helplog forward the cause of education
In the way suggested.
Jl'DGK W. H. FISH.
This gentleman cornea to Americua
this week to bold bis first court In Sum
ter county, and will hereafter make
Americus bis permanent home.
Few judges hare mvde better records
upon their first round than has Judge
Fisb; and his ability, both aa a jurist and
a disciplinarian, has been most marked
from tbe very first day of bis active
labors.
His presence would be an acqniiltion
to any community, and Ameriou* is to
be congratulated that he has determined
to cast hla future lot as a citizen
with us.
The Timer-Recorder extendi to him
a mozt cordial welcome, both as a man
and a judge, and'fee lz that in so doing It
but convoys the sentiments of every per
son in the community.
Traveler* may learn a lesson from Mr.
C. D. Cone, a prominent attorney of
Parker, Dakota, who says: “I nr
leave borne without taking a bottle of
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy with me, and on many oc
casions have ran with it to the relief of
some sufferer and have never known It
