Tlio primary election takes place next Wednewlai; there are six candidates to illl three aldermanlo places in the city government, and a selection rauit be made. Amerlun,' tax rate last year was 1.45, orwitliiu flvo per cent, of the limit fixed by law. This year the council has fixed the rate nt 1.20, although the commission who lately investigated tho city’s finan cial affairs reported that In their opinion the rate need not exeeed one per cent It will be noted in the interviews with certain of the candidates that they seem to think they have met tbo requirements of the situation when they are “oppoeed to raising the rate of taxation." liais ing what rate? The rate of 1 45 of laat year, or the rate of 1.20 this year, or going above the 1.00 regarded by the commission as ample? This answer Is not sufficiently explicit. The taxpayer* want the rato reduced below 1.20, Many want it made as low as It can be, to raise the amount needed for the oxpenscs of the city government economically administered. The,candidates who stand on this plat form will be likely to get the majority of the rate next Wednesday. Americus is in favofc of progress; but right now It may be safely said it la that degree of progress which can be effected with a rate of taxation not above one per cent., and Wedneiday’s primary will de termlne whether the people do' dot con sider a low tax rate the winning card In the band of progress that la to be played in 1802. THB THIRD PARTY IN GEORGIA. Wbalever may heretofore have been the status of Editor Gantt, in the opinion of the publio on the third party issue, the following editorial from this week's Southern Alliance Farmer seems to conviot him fully to the new depar ture. Under the head of “Democratic Deg radation” be says: “If you would throw a ton of iplecao Into hades, It would not vomit forth more treachery, hypocrisy and corrup tion than are found among the leaden of the two old parties. The Republi cans have sold themselves to the pro tected manufacturers, and the Demo crats belong to the gold bugs of Wall street. Both parties are striving for the tame end—the enslavement of the toil ing millions for the enrichment of the favored few; and as was conclusively shown in the western elections, it It be- comes necessary to overthrow and eruab the political power of the people, these old enemies will bury past differences, combine their forces, and unite upon and support one ticket. BURDENSOME TAXES. REDACTION OF THE TAX RATE THE VITAL I8SUE. What the Candidate, Have to Say—Some Favor a Reduction of th. Tax Bate and Some Dodge—Dr. Burt Steade Fiat- Footed Agaln.t Asphalt Pavements. The time is ripe now for ripples on the political surface, as so far, the can didates have been on a still bunt Two tickets are in the Held, but no one short of a prophet can fortell the fate of either The two tickets comprise Messrs. A. C. Bell, II. D. Watts, G. T. Miller, W P. Burt, L. J. Blalock and J. L. Adderton. The people have become anxious to know just where the candidates stand, especially in questions affecting the fi nances of the city and taxation, and The Times Recorder haa Interviewed sev eral gentlemen whose names are before the people, and the result is herewith Beall & Oakley OFFER PRICES TO MEET HARD TIMES! given. “In the hatred of politicians and plu-js’,1" hl ' round * ye^rday a Times-Re- All the Georgia paper* are in accord with Tine Timks-Recordbr on the ques tion of the need of manufacturing In- dnitrie* to build up a city, and the Daw son New*. supplements this with some sensible views about tho size of farms It says: “When tbo average size of farm* In Georgia Is brought down to one hundred scree, or the average of the en tire country, then, and not until then, will the State be in a fair way to become as wealthy as nature plainly Intended she should bo, Too little manufactur ing and too much unprofitable land hold Inga are the brakes that now retard her progress In a material sense.” Refxbbixo to the question of dissen sion* among the Alliance leader* as de* veloped at the recent Indianapolis con vention, Editor Gannt lays: “But even were our leader* at the dagger’s point, and had ■ regular Kilkenny fight, it would have no effeet whatever on the Alliance as an organisation. If onr leaders want to wrangle and fight among themselvea they ean do so. The rank and file of onr memberehip have their •yes let upon the platform of their order, and don’t propose to swerve either to the right or to the left.” Tor Mayor and city oonncll of Albany have "vetoed” tho play of the female minstrel troupe that was billed for to night; and the chief of police was In structed to tear down the sensational and too briefly clad show bills and stop the play. These sensitive officials no doubt heard of tbo naughty ballet girl* of the King Solomon show, and thought a contingent of them was about to raid upon the preolncta of their virtuous city, and so they abut their eye* and fired them. * The largeat amount per word over paid an American writer It said to have been that received by the late Hoary W. Grady from the New York Ledger. Mr. Grady wrote that journal five letter* on tbo condition of the;South. They aver aged 1,000 words each and were paid for at the rate of 20 cents a word. Mr. Grady dictated the first letter to Ms stenographer in twenty minutes, thereby earning $10 n minute, and the letter was pronounced to be the best of the series. It is understood throughout the Southern State* that Senator Stanford U making* strong effort to beooma the the nominee of the peopU’e party for president in 1802. HU land-loan bill wain strong preliminary bid for the support of the Farmers’ Alliance, and the fact that a millionaire weald bo abU to furnish the “sinews” for a campaign is favorable to his hopes. tocrats against the Alliance, all past dif ferences are forgotten, and enmities of a third of a century, even fanned by civil war, are forgotten In mutual hatred of n struggling people. We see Bourbon Democrats and radical Republicans clasping hands across the chasm of Mo tional hate, and working hand In hand, In order to defeat the Alliance and re-en- alave the farmers. “And we also mc so-called Demo cratlo (?) organa in Georgia crowing over the victories (?) their party haa won, and exulting over the downfall (?) of the A! banco; and yet not one of these papers, has had the self-respect, manhood and fairness to expreM and condemn the unholy and Infamous coalitions their party ha* formed with. Republicans. “Brother Alllaoeemen, what dcea this show? Why it ahows that the Demo cratic press of Georgia Are eon- doners of and sympathizers with this villainous conspiracy, and that they had rather see the Republican party triumph than the people I Socretly they gloat over the degrading ends to which their party has stooped to overthrow and discourage the alliance movement, and if It beeomes necessary to defeat ua they will join hands with the Republi can* In Georgia In 1892. “After reading this story of shame from Kansas, do you now (m1 a pride in being called it Democrat? Study that record, and then tell ua what la the dif ference between the two old parties? The Democrats tiave joined foroes with the Republicans to defeat the Alliance, and lost light of the tasuei that divided them so long. Tho truth la, that the leaders of both parties have become to vile and corrupt, and are so linked to gether by Mlfialioeas and greed, that It will take a first-class political chemist to separate them, ■ If you call that erowd of ilblitieal amalgamators In Kansas, and the blgh- klckers who brought out Dr. Felton, Democrats—In the language of Ben Hill, If we ever were n Democrat we didn’t mean to bdT ONLY THIS CASH STOPS IT.

The new board of Aldermen will be be called on to face this question la 1802:, “Will the growth and prosperity of Ameriens bo beat promoted by a high rate and liberal expenditures for publio improvements, or a low .rate that will bring in capital for Investment?" W. C. Russell, druggist desires to in form the publio, that he Is agent for the most successful preparation that has yet been produoed for coughs, colds and croup.

The efforts of the next oouneil In my opinion should be directed to reduction of the rate of taxatioo, If found practicable rather than to making paving contracts that would materially increase taxes ” Captain Adderton was the next gontle- man approached, anil in tho course of his remarks he said: “I am hoartily in favor of anything that redounds to the interest* of Amer icas. | “What about the present tax rate?” “Well, I think that taxes are wrung from the aweat of the brow of the labor ing olaas, aa a general rule, and the bur den should be lightened as maob as is equitable and just.” “Are you In favor of Mphalt pave ments?” “I am in favor of anything that re dounds to the prosperity of Americui.
