Bales that to outward appearance were all right, have been found to contain large quantities of poor lint. So serious has this become thatforelgn buyers have sought the aid of the National Depart ment of 8tate to remove the evil. Should it continue U will discredit American cotton In foreign markets to an extent that will affect the value of every year's crop, for neither foreign nor American mills will pay the face value for cotton until they are sure that It is what it Is represented to be. Hears. Alex. Sprunt, A Son, of Wilmington, N. C., extensive exporters of cotton, have issued a circu lar to cotton planters and buyers in which grave reasons are given why everybody in the business should com bine to restore and maintain tho reputa tion of American cotton. After stating that “a large part of last season's hold ings was rendered unmercbsotable and worthless by previous exposure to the weather in open fields or under tho eaves of outhouses,” and that many exporters were deceived and made such heavy losses from damage and falling off in weight that they had reached a fixed de termination to refuse all cotton that had not been properly houaed thia season, the circular asya: Our purpose Is to sbosr tbs' such careless ness react* upon Ihs planter. Many bales which cam# to us last spring apparently dry and In (noil condition were found, upon ex amination bj the testlnc rod, to be utterly rotten and valueless, lo on* Instance a bale of apparsn' ly dry oottoo weighing 610 pounds was opened lot examination and found to contain ISO pounds of rotten ootton, which was sold for about one cent a pound. Many other similar prices 0 mid be quoted, but this Wilt suffice to justify the warning that planter or merchant who risks his cotton out or doors In bad weather 1* likely to suffer sellout ccnrcquences—In heavy allowances for damage* or the n.ter rejection of t 0 oot ton as unmerchantable. Here 1* work for the educational de partment of the Farmers’ Alliance. The preparation of cottoo for the market does not end at the gin and the baling press. Until It passes from them to the merchant It should be sheltered; after that tho responsibility for ita condition rests with the buyers and the transpor tation companies. As a rnle, If It leaves the ballug press in prime order, It will be found in the same condition when the bale la opened at the mill, Messrs. 8prunt A Son have not overrated the Importance of care-taking on the plan tation and by Interior buyers.—Mann facturns’ Reoord, The governor was placed lo a rather humiliating position the other day when be was forced to coulees that he had no means of aiding the sufferers at Harris’ Neek, or of doing what was necessary to be done to check the small-pox epidemic there. But, as a matter of fact, he was powerless, and bad to permit the nan tlonal government to do what the atate ought to have been prepared to do. Tho national government responded prompt ly and willingly to the request for assist ance, and Ita aotion Is appreciated, but this continual calling on the national government to exerclsa the funotiona.of state government la calculated to mag nify In the ayes of the people the Impor tance of the national government and lessen thalr reapeet for and dependence upon etate governments. The time may come when the oentral government will be dtepoeed to encroach upon the author* tty of tho etata governmer ta, and it may M found then, when too late, that th* people are Sot at jealous of the right* of the etate* a* their beet Internets re quire they should be.—Savannah New*.

Editor Gantt seem* to have been made specially vloious by his recent Illness, at least he is as belligerent as a hyena with the toothache, and is not only mak ing It exceedingly Interesting for his political adversaries, bnt Is firing into those clerical gentlemen whom he desig nates “senaatlonal preachers,’’ Jones, Small, Wadsworth and Lee, with hit characteristic charges of grape and can ister. Among other things, he says of the two latter: There never was a more shameful outrage perpetrated from the pulpit Ulan Mr. Wads worth’s attacks upon the Episcopal and Bap tist churches; and hla bluer denoundattnn of the ettlsena of Augusta will certainly place a stumbling block In the way of his successor In the pulpit he now occupies. Mr. Wadsworth Is to the church what John Sullivan Is to the sporting fraternity. Me Is a sortofelerleal prise dihter, and leave* bruised hearts and bad blood behind him wherever he goes, Boms yean ago he In. suited from hr* puiplt in Athena, and with, out provoeatlon, several of the noblest Christian ladles in that city.

It would have been far toiler to ha/e left the Metboulst pulpit In A* hens unfilled fur a year than sup pliant with so. b a illrer up of strife as Mr. Wadsworth. "Of toe political preachers, we have here In AUsntaa fair sample In Kev. J. W. Lee, better known to bleenthualaitlc admirers aa “Doctor” Lee. This minister was born and reared In the country, but possessing more than ordinary eloquence, he was transferred toclty churches. With this elevatlor, "Doc tor” Lee at once forgot his humble friends In the country, and gave himself np, heart and •on', to the aristocratic and wealthy elrcli of At.ants. He saw that no advancement could be expected from the poor farmers—hla former ussoclaics—while to unite against them snd tbelr cause woul 1 be to csptnr* the applause of the rich and powerful. He filled the partisan papers with hla appeals for the election of Gordon. Noteontentwilh this, he waa one of th* most conspicuous ■peaksrs at that artesian carmagnole, and mode a most vindictive and.unwarv* ited as sault upon the Alliance. Of .all thaemli rlrs of ths plntocra's that the f-rrner* have tocooteod with lo Georgia, non- are mole bltterand vindictive than this minister of the gospel, who has quilted his pulpit to fights down trodden and Impoverished peo- people,and continue tbelr en.lavcmen* to the itch. If this be modern Christianity. God save tho ecu.it r.!” OANTT'i GEORGIA GEOGRAPHY. What la Georgia? Georgia la the Empire State of the South Where Is Georgia located? In the city of Atlanta. Where le the city of Atlanta located? In the Journal office. Where Is the Journal office located? In Mr. Hoke Smith.' Where Is Mr. Hoke Smith located? In the eyes of the whole people. How do you know that Mr. Sriiltb Is located in tho eyes of the whole people? I read It every evening In the Atlanta Journal, and at Hoke Smith owns the paper, of course ho know* whereof he Noxi of the State weeklies get in any more opportune work on the eeonomle questions than the Cuthbert Liberal-En terprise, from which the following Is re produced with the endorsement of The Time* Becobocb: “The present money ■tringenoy In the Sontl. Is not the remit of any action of the AUianee, nor la it the result of any organized effort to break down the Allisnee. It I* the re sult of the foolish policy of the people of the South in sending all the money they can “rake and sorape” and then strain ing tbelr credit to bay whet should be prodaoed at home; the silly policy of raising more ootton than the world want* and raising none, or very Utile, of the things that we want. It Is |the result of the foolish game of “beads I win, tails yon lo**’’ that w* have been playing. The other fellow* win and we lose, no matter whleh way the penny falls. No possible governmental financial system can give relief that will be permanent nnless'w* change our taotics'” Under th* new apportionment the Southern States gained several Congress men and her total vote In the electoral eollege will be 159. It la not likely that that one of thewwlU bo lost to the Dem ocratic candidates. The votes of Con necticut 0, of New York 86, New Jersey 10 and Indiana 13, make a total of 87. Their votes too are reasonably certain for th* Democracy and will makes a grand total of 226. This would elect the ticket and give them eight majority over the Republicans. We have at least 6 votes from Michigan,'as the last legis lature passed a law by wbloh the vote of the State will not be solid for either party. In addition there la a fighting chance for Illinois, Wlaoonaln, lows, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire. Paorxssoa Uabris Chappell, Pres ident of the Girl's Industrial Institute, MlUedgeville, reports It In a prosperous and first-class condition. Said he: “There are 172 girls in attendance, representing seventy-two counties. There are thirty- five young ladle* there attending the normal school who have had some expe rience In teaching school, and from their earnings they are paying their board. The Institution Is progressing far beyond my expectations.” The condition of Blaine’* health la again being discussed in the public press, and statements aro being .made to the ellect that he will retire from tbs cabi net and go to the West Indies early in January. The sickness of Blaine baa become an awful chestnut, and the news paper correspondents at Washington would favor the eonntry If they were to lay It aside and take np COUNT AT THE GIN. Mr. W. F. Gay, a farmer of Meriweth er county, advances aa Idea that la sim ple and practicable, and should beat once adopted. It I* to ascertain tho aotnal cotton re ceipts at the Initial point, the ginnery, snd report from that point Instead of the port*. This not only Insures abso lute accuracy, a thing not now obtained by the port system, but gives the figures many days earlier than by the present system. Every ginnery In tbe South keepe a record of tbe number of bales it tarns out, and with very little trouble their reports ean be consolidated day by day and furnished tbe cotton exehanges. Those ginneries that are away from towns could send In by their patrons who are hauling to market the dally reports, and thus practically everything would be covered. As the farmers are interested in keep ing np with this kind of news, they would take pains to see that this service waa prompt It is certainly worth a trial. Mr. Gay's idea la strongly endorsed by the Consti tution, to whom hla suggestion Is made. MANUFACTURING ENTERPRISES. Ever since Tub Timkb-Recordeb has been in existence It has advocated, and in no unmeasured terms, the establish ment of more manufacturing Interests In Amerieus, and ."or tbe present arttele there are no apologies to be made, aa tbe matter has become one of the utmost Importance to the people and to the town. An Inventory of the thriving cit ies of tbe countryiwlll prove that, with few exceptions, the manufacturing In terests have proven the stepping stone to prosperity, and, likewise, that those towns wbloh enjoyed no such advantages have remained at a complete standstill. Tbe agricultural section with which Americas Is anrrounded la one of pecu liar excellence, and to this faot la owing inneb of our city’s success; bnt no city ever enjoyed permanent prosperity that depended solely upon buying and selling agricultural products. In Europe three million armed men are sullenly facing each other, waiting only for the word to spring at each other’s throat*. War baa long been thought of as imminent, and this state of things has come to be regarded as normal. This anomalous condition,with out a parallel iu history, I* vividly por trayed in tbe November Forum by Wm. R. Thayer, one {of oar most sente stu dents of European polities. He has striven to put before his readers a pict ure of the status of each of the great powers—their strength, tbelr feelings toward one another, and tbelr probable course In case of war. He conclude* that Russia la to-day the center of the warlike storm area, and that her oourse endangers all Western Europe. Evidently Governor Northen takes no stock in a the talk of mismanagement of the State Lunatic Asylum either by the Trustees of the Superintendent and hla corps, as he has reappointed every member of the present board of Trustee*. This I* a well deserved endorsement of a very capable and efficient management. The Governor made no mistake when he took this action, In the opinion of Tint Timks-Recobder. barbarism IN THE 10TH CENTURY. A human soul launched Into eternity! and through the moat brutal methods I Strangulation! tbe poor victim, dwelling for days, perhaps weeks, open bis ltd- pending fate, languishes In a prison oell until hla time la called. In this age of progression and im provement It seems at if this relict of barbarism might well be omitted from onr category. However sinful may be the vtetlm, and though the old Moiale law of “an eye for an eye” should hold good when a fellow man’s blood la wan tonly abed, there should be some more decent method of exeentlon adopted. Even let n squad of riflemen stand before tbe condemned, and at tbe word of com mand empty their mnakets Into tbe vic tim. Hla death is easy snd quick. Bnt now all la uncertainty, the poor criminal may struggle in mortal agony until the rope breaks, and then be dragged back, to undergo another death. A negro will to-day be sent to bis Maker at Mount Yernon. His crime de serves death, and It should be meted out to him; yet If we are to send a man out of the world, at least let it all be done with delicacy and good breeding. President Polk of the National Far mers’ .Alliance waa re-elected without opposition. It la a mattor of regret that Colonel Livingston did not get this place, as he is a man of much more abil ity than Polk. The trouble seems to have been that Livingston was too much of a Democrat to satisfy tbe third party element that has control of the conven tion. He protested against the resolu tion Instructing AUianee Congressmen to keep out of tbe caucusses of the two parties. He advised the convention that l.o had been elected to Congress aa a Democrat, and that he proposed to set with hla party regardless of any Instruc tions given him by tbe Alliance. Colonel Livingston, as a Democrat, nominated and ole'eted by the Democrats of his district, could not, consistently, take any other position, nor ean any Democratic Congressman reconcile a different course with a decent sense of political honesty. Senator Puoii of Alabama publishes a letter in which be opposes the renomi- nation of Cleveland In 1802 for tbe Presl ■ dcncy on the Democratic ticket. He asserts that the single Isaac of the tariff upon wbloh Cleveland fought his cam paign against Harrison is no stronger now than it waa then. The tariff, he as serts la not paramount to all other Issues and he declares that Campbell lost the fight in Ohio by running away from the silver qneatlon, Tbe free ‘silver tune, he contends, It as Important aa the tariff Issue, and be says that tbe new Cleveland cry has been ratted by those who wish to dispose of silver. Mr. Pngb asya Har rison has been strengthened with hla party tlnce hla election, while Cleveland baa made no progress in that direction. He adds that if the Democrats with to in vite defeat they will nominate Cleve land. The trouble with the Brasilian Bepub- lie It that about 75 per cent of the In habitants don’t know the meaning of tbe word, and the government doesn’t j supply them with dictionaries. iord LYTTOX dead. Bt. Hon. Edward Robert Bulwer-Lyt- ton, earl of Lytton, British ambassador to France, died suddenly from heart dis ease In Paris on Tuesday. The death of Lord Lytton is n lost to the dviUxation of tbe times. It Is unex pected, and will shock and grieve the world of scholar* and lovers of the pure literature of the age. It la as Owen Meredith that Lord Lyt ton Is beat known to the world; It la as Owen Meredith that every school girl and boy in Anglo-Saxon lands love* him who sleep* the last sleep In the capital of Franoe. To the many who believe in the purer and more honest literature, the death of Lord Lytton come* as a personal loss. In the world of diplomacy It la an event of unntnal importance. Lord Lytton was the British ambassador to France, moat desirable position in all the range of diplomacy. The South produces a great amount of cotton annually, and the farmers are, as aelass mortgaged beyond redemption; but one thing ean be truly said, and that Is that as brave and uncomplaining bear ers of trouble and adversity the civilized world has never seen their equal. In debt, and with little hope of extricating themselves, they constitute the best strata of modern progresslveness and morality; what eommunltlea so qnlok to resent depravity and sinfulness as onr ratal settlements? and although they sometimes adopt premature methods for Its suppression, there is, proportionate ly, vastly leas of vice outside of the cit ies than In'them, where tbe maohtnery ef law and Order la carried to its high est perfection. When Editor Howell geta to bo gov ernor, will not we editors have a fat time filling all the office# at his diapcaal? Tbe mlllenlnm will never come until a truly good editor geta hold of the reins of government and puts all the balance of tbe good editors In office; and there is no better time to start this movement than right now, and here In Georgia. The Times-Rxcobdeb will support Edl- itor Howell, provided the editor of The Tiues-Recordeb la made Chief Justice of|the Supreme gonrt, or some other soft snap, with big salary and no work. Now, if Editor Howell really wants to be governor, and Is not merely coquet ting, let him speak out, or forever here after hold bls.peaee. Traveler* may learn a lesson from Mr. C. D. Cone, n prominent attorney of Parker, Dakota, who aays: “I never leave home wfthant taking a hotUe ef Chamberlain's Collo, Cholera and Diar rhea Remedy with me, and on many oc casions have run with It to the relief of some sufierer and nave never known it to fall.” For sale by W. a Russell, Amerieus, Ga.
