JUDGE CRISP FOR SENATOR-
HawklnivlUe l-M.p itcb find New.
The Amerlctis Recorder and
some other papers are urging that
Hon. C. F. Crisp, member of con
gress from the Third district of
Georgia, shall be made the next
governor of our State. The imme
diate oecaBiou of this movement Is
the recoil', contest with 8peaker
Reed in the House of Representa
tives, iu which Judge Crisp teport
ed himself witli such brilliancy and
such bravery as to call forth plaudits
from the eutire nation.
To this movement we object. We
yield to none in admiration for
Judge Crisp’s conduct on the mem
orable Occatlon referred to, or In ad
miration for his general course as a
publio man. He lias uo warmer
frientl among llte papers of Georgia
than the Dispatch and Xews; but
we do not want him brought into
the gubernatorial race. As bis
friend, and as one of the people
whom he so ably represents, we in
sist that li.s place is iu the federal
legislature. There lie has achieved
his most brilliant triumphs, aud
there he can be most useful to Ills
people. To take him from the halls
of Congress and place him in the
gubernatorial chair would be to take
a gallant captain from the field,
where he had won his spurn in
bloody conllict, and place him in
the commissary department, Crisp
is a Held oflicer, aud a braver one
never couched lance or wielded
sabre. Iu the intellectual tourna
ment with the enemies of right aud
justice, .he has proven nimself a
veritable Ivanboe, and by his skill
aud strength in debate, lie unhorsed
his opponents, one after another
until but one resource was left them,
and tiiey overwhelmed him by sheer
force of numbers. They could not
resist his logic; they simply out
voted him. Henceforth when he
rises in the House the democratic
members will rally to him as the
gallaut Frenchmen rallied at Ivry
to Heury of Navarre,and his white
plume will be their orlflamme in
many a well-contested tight.
If you want to promote Judge
Crisp, we are with you. The gov
ernorship. would uot be a promo
tion; the Uuited States Senatorshlp
would. Will you -who have been
urging that lie be rewarded for his
gallantry, join the Dispatch aud
News iu pressing him for the Unit
ed States Senate! That is some
thing he has justly wou. There his
splendid forensic talents would
have an ample Held. That wuld be
a promotion in accord with his
merits—one meet for his gallant
services.
What say you, brethren of the
press-r-Charles F. Crisp for the Unl
ed States Senate.
CRISP FOR GOVERNOR.
Schley County New..
Aside from the claims put in by
the Americus Recorder, on the
grounds that this section of the
grand old commonwealth of Geor
gia, has never been represented in
any of thedepartments of State at
Atlanta, the suggestion of lion. C
F. Crisp for Governor, meets, we
think, a responsive chord in the
hearts of every Schley countian. It
was in this county that Mr.-Crisp
threw off his swaddi'ug clothes,
passed through the stage of boyhood
aud first stepped out into the arena
of manhood. Hero he read law,
was admitted to the bar and began
bis battle with the ups aud downs
of lifo. Here too, from among the
fair daughters of Schley, he chose
ills wife, who probably like Jose
phine to Napoleau, has been, the
guiding star of his destiny, and to
houor Crisp is to honor Schley coun
ty. If his nomination and election
depends on this county, lie would
be the next governor of Georgia. We
know not the foellug of Mr. Crisp
in this matter, but his able and
manly Btand iu Congress entitles
him, we think, to any honor in the
gift of Georgians and whether he
aspires to it or not, a tender of the
nomination for Governor wuld be a
lit token of appreciation and a well
deserved compliment to a true and
faithful servant of the people. -
LITERARY NOTES.
Three papers under one general
head, “The New Nationalism,”
will appear iu the March Issue of
Belford’s Magazine as the leading
article. The great aud constantly
increasing body who are interested
In the Important social and gover-
rnentai questions of the hour will
find the newest phase of these ques
tions intelligently described by J.
B. Wakeman, Rev. Edward E.
Hale, and Hon. Wm. McAdoo.
An interesting article by Lucy
C. Little entitled “Literary Eug-
gland,” will be found in the March
number of Belford’s Magazine.

Mulberry Tree*.
Speaking of the mulberry trees
Col, James M. Smith, of Oglethorpe
county, says: “Two years ago I
bought of Mr. Thurman 1,000 fruit-
beariug mulberry scolns, and got
him to superintend their planting.
I did this, uot only becauso I want
ed to incldeutally test the silk in
dustry, but because I thought the
.mulberry tree possessed mauy ad
vantages iu other respects. I re
gard the fruit-bearing mulberry as
a valuable tree both for fruit aud
for timber. They grow up quickly,
aud bear berrlesluxuriautly. Beiug
nearly ail heart, the Umber Is very
valuable for posts, crossties, aud
mauy other purposes where dura
bility is an object. Again, mulber
ry Umber is especially adaptable for
furniture. These trees bear fruit 100
days each year, beginning tbe laBt
of May. While some of the berries
are ripe aud falling to tbe ground,
others are' green aud others are
blooming. Hogs are extremely fond
of them,aud fattou rapidly ou them.
So do chickens and other fowls. I
have no doubt but that the growing
of these trees can be made profit
able, On an acre of laud one hun
dred could be an out, aud in ten or
fifteen years these trees would
average say eight or ten iuches in
diameter, and eighteen or twenty
feet in bight without limbs. Eaoh
tree would furnish at this rate about
100 foot of lumber. This lumber at
$1 per 100 feet would cause each tree
to be wortli $1 after beiug saw.ed
up. Mulberry lumber, however, is
worth more than $1 per 100 feet,
perhaps 82. But whether they are
ever raised for timber or not on a
large scale, every farmer should
have a few acres for his hogs and
chickens. A few around the yard
for chickens Is au excellent thing.
As timber becomes more scarce and
valuable, our people, if they are
wise, will begin to look about for the
most available timber to take the
place of that now beiug cleared
away so rapidly. Instead of culti
vating at a loss, as some do, hun
dreds of acres of poor, worn and ex
hausted laud, it would be much bet
ter to plant these lands in some
growth which, iu the course of
time, would be valuable.”
MAGIC AMERICUS-
So the Macon Telegraph calls our
city, and its correspondent, Mr.
James Callaway, devotes two col
umns to describing why he calls
our city magical, As the article in
question is a true reflection of
Americus, we reproduce it. Our
people are under many obligations
to the Telegraph for such an arti
cle, as it comes uninspired aud by
no solicitation. The article con
tains one error of Blight-importance,
viz: That the Americus Improve
ment and Manufacturing Co. is
made to appear the same as the
Americus Investment Co., when
the Improvement Company is to
build the new hotel and the Invest
ment Company Is not.
The Atlanta Constitution also has
an article descriptive of Americus
in its Sunday Issue, illustrated with
a street sceue aud cuts of some of
our prominent business men. The
article was written by Mr. Black
burn.
In this connection we might say,
and truthfully, that Americus has
received less attention from the
State press than auy eity of its size
in Georgia. As a general rule,
when any paper outside of Amerl-
cus writes up Amerieus it does so
for tbe hard cash, aud as far as our
knowledge goes no industry in
Amerious has ever received one line
of praise from an outside paper that
it did not pay for.
Truly, Americus is a self-made
city, in every sense of the word.
DISGUSTINGLY TIRED.
Sid Lewis, in tbe Sparta Ishmae-
llte, says as all the members of the
railroad commission and both of
the Senators are north Georgia men
maybe Middle Georgia will be al
lowed a showing when it comes to
choosing a governor.
Commenting ou tbe above, the
Valdosta Times says:
"What we waut to know is, when
will Soutli Georgia have a;showing
in the distribution of the gifts of
the State? When did, or when will,
soutli Georgia get a Senator, or
governor, or any officer elected by
the people of the whole State?
“All we get In this otherwise
God-favored laud is an occasional
visit from an office-hunter from the
northern or middle portion of the
State, or worse, perhaps, frequent
letters npd circulars from the said
office-hunters who are soiioitlous
for our support and votes.
“South Georgia can point with
pride to Turner and Crisp and Les
ter and Lawton and McTntyre and
n host of others—the peers of any in
the State—but all such have to take
back seals wheu the offices of tbe
State are to be dealt out.
“Aud we don't mind hinting that
lots of people in this part of Geor
gia are getting disgustingly tired
of It ”
And the TimeB is right. Not only
has tills part of the State been re
fused recognitlou in the selection
of State officers, but when one is
lound who could be elected, it is
suddenly discovered by the North
Georgia press that he is needed else
where very badly just at that time.
No wonder South Georgia is “dis
gustingly tired I”

My Dear Sir: Your esteemed
favor of the 23d was most acceptable
os it was most kind. It is very
gratifying when separated from
home and friends to find that one is
uot entirely forgotten. I am glad
able able to say regarding
my health that I have grown
practically better and stronger
ever since my arrival;
slight indispositions that have
manifested themselves being
more than one could expect from
so radical a change of climate, alti
tude, Uving, etc., and were entirely
short-lived and fugitive. I trust to
have my health entirely re-estab
lished by spring and bo with you all
again by that time. With kind re
gards to Mrs> Myrick, Hitt and

THE FINISHING
Did‘Plan
AT THE BEGINNING OF A
New Year.
-)Ot
Often merchants,‘farmers, and in
fact meu in all pursuits and avoca
tions decide upon plans well ma-
ured, seeing wealth, fortune and
greatness in their consummation.
Many such plans, properly carried
out, realize all expected, and often
more. Yet how many suoh plans
die in their Infancy; many more
when success is within one's grasp,
and many die for the wantof proper
means to carry out the undertaking.
The writer several years ago be
lieved that if one merchant in every
city would buy hisjgoods exclusive
ly from auction, where he can buy
all kinds of jgoods at from one-third
to one-half their original cost and
sell them to his patrons; at a fair
profit, thereby saving his customers
from 80 to 40 per cent, on their pur
chases, a great flourishing business
could be established.
Our expectations were fnlly real
ized, only to be shattered by some
thing unforeseen. In our anxiety
to serve all our customers with
everything they Wanted In our line
(part of which could not be bad at
auction and part having been sold
o.ut) we ordered and placed on our
counters a line of goods regularly
bought, whloh wo were compelled
to offer at same prices; that other
merchants soldjthem, consequently
our customers did not get what they
expeoted. Our business suffered in
consequence and our expectations
were not realized.
We are financially better prepared
to carry out our old plan,, and will
begin now to dispose of every artlele
in our house at such prioes as
goods from auction are generally
sold for. We are ready to dispose
of our Domestio Goods at from lit
to per yard less than factory
prices, never to be replaced, except
when we can get them from auction
and can offer them to our customers
at half, or little above half, of fac
tory prioes.
We will sell Clothing, Bhoes
Hats, Cloaks, Shawls, Notions, Mil
linery and Fanoy Goods at your best
oitbr. Domestics, as long os they
last, will goat: Best 4-4 Sheeting
at6YJ per yard; best % Sheeting at
6o; best & Sheeting 4)£o; best Co
lumbus Cheoks at 4^o; best Stan
dard Prints at 5 to 6j^o; best Ging
hams (8 oz.) 9c; best Drilling at
Q}iC; Bed Quilte from 76o up; White
Blankets from 90o. per pair up;
Gents’ and Ladles’Underwear from
20c up, and all other goodB In pro
portion.
We will positively not oharge
any goods at these prices from this
on, orsllow any goods to be carried
out on approval. Wo assure our
patrons of fair and honorable treat
ment, and we will not misrepresent
anything. Money will be refunded
for all goods not altogether as rep
resented.
Country merchants will save
money by priolng our goods before
placing their orders elsewhere, as
we are satisfied that we can save
them money in their purchase! ’.
