Entourage small industries. By

With the announcement of Mr.
J. E. Sullivan for Treasurer the
campaign for county officers can lie
■ considered as opened.
The Augusta Chronicle would like
to see John Temple Graves take the
stump against Dr. Felton. The
suggestion is a good one.
Tho Brunswick Times is succeed
ing in making Brunswick talked
about more than any city in the
State. This is a deserved com pi i
meat to the Times.
Sunday, the day of political sen
nations by the metropolitan papers
has again come and gone, and there
is nothing new in the way of a can
didate for the Senate against Gov.
Gordon.
Brunswick Branham predicts that
Cot. J. O. Waddell will revive Ma
con’s interests in the State Kafr,
and assure a success of it. If Brest.
Northeu haa not pulled the Fair out
of the woods, are don’t know who
lias.
The Cordeie Oordeleau strongly
opposes haying a county court
for Dooly county—even should It be
located in Cordeie. It pours some
very hot shot into the Vienna
Progress for advocating the county
court.
That the Western Union tele
graph olllce is well managed lu this
city Is evident from the prompt
service it gives. The Recorder
wired a message to Augusta tiie
other night nud received an answer
in just twenty minutes.
PULL TOGETHER.
Atlanta’s watchword Is “puli to
gether.’’ Xe movement is made
but that tiie whole city etersinto it
heart and soul. SJueli concerted ac
tivity lias been the nieaus of build
lug a mighty city from the little
Martbasville. 1
When Amerleus lias gone into an
ything every man has stood shoul
der to shoulder. No internal dif
ferences were even thought of. The
consequence lias been tiie building
of the S. A. M. road, the compress
es, tiie new hotel, the iron foun
dry, the water works, and scares of
other enterprises.
What is needed to make Ameri-
eus a great city is small factories;
tiie small ones will become large
ones and bring others.
Every man, woman and child in
Amerleus should give preference to
home made goods. Never seud
away for anything you can get of a
local dealer. Patroujze our indus
tries. especially; if you waut guano,
go to the guano works; if » wheel
made, go to tiie iron fouudry; if a
house built, patronize a local con
tractor, and give work to the men
who •uy from you. If you waut
furniture, go to the furniture facto
ry or a local dealer. Do not seud
cent away that can be spent away,
Make Amerleus self supporting and
you help make a great city.
CORPORATE EFFORT.
The Brunswick Times insists that
corporate concerns are better for
the towns where they are located
than if conducted by individuals.
It points to many enterprises in
Brunswick to sustain its assertion
The experience of Amerleus goes
to confirm tiie opinion of the Times
Iu the past year scores of new en
terprises have been inaugurated by
corporated concerns, and nearly all
of them are well paying lustitii
tlon. Had these same concerns
been started and operated by pri
vato parties the chances are that
they would have fallen far short of
expectations.
The general public takes more iu
terest in corporate efforts than iu
private, and of course a new Indus'
try lias a better chance to succeed
by being backed by a number of
people than by one or two.
Amerleus owes much of her pres
ent prosperity to well directed cor
porate effort, and that our people
believe iu such things is shown by
tiie avidity with which stock in new
companies is subscribed.
Small manufactories, owned - by
well controlled stock companies,
are the life and breath of growing
towns, ami Americus is wisely
building in this direction.

The Recorder sometimes won
ders if there i» no end to the new
enterprises being inaugurated in
Americus. They are not lloating
aud visione.ry, either, but solid
and substantial creations born of
necessity, plnck, muscle and
money.
Hon. 8. D. Bradwell is said to be
a candidate for tiie position of
Commissioner of Education, and
ills chances may be very fair, since
Mr, Northeu has denied the report
that ho would make tiie appoint
ment on the recommendation of
the teachers. •
Our telegraphic advices of tills
morning state that the Tribune of
Rome has been sold to Capt. J. .1.
Seay, a wealthy citizen of thatcity.
Col. J. L. Martin has been made
managing editor. Capt. Seay will
find that a newspaper is not so easy
to run as a steamboat lino.
Col. W. T. Christopher, editor of
the Montezuma Record, will begin
the publication of the Georgia Alli
ance Record next Monday. Mr.
Christopher had at one lime tiie
best and largest circulated Alliance
paper in the State, and lie proposes
to bring the Alliance Record to that
point.
The Savannah Morning Nows is
sued its trade edition Friday
morning. Tt was a mammoth edi
tion of 21 pages, filled to the brim
with statistics of Savannah’s great
trade. There is no better edited,
newsier, more readable paper in the
South than the News, ami it fully
deserves its success.
A good deal of talk is being in
dulged in about Blatherskite Joe
Cannon resigning or being defeated.
We. used to live near his old dis
trict, iu Illinois, and, instead of
his constituents being disgusted
with his vulgarity.we believe they
are proud of it, ami will return him

solid repuldicau district.
As was announced in a telegram
in Saturday’s Recorder Col. John
Temple Graves has resigned the
position of editor of the Rome
Tribune. Mr. Graves was led to this
course because of the fact that a
majority of the stockholders of the
Tribune were for Feltou iu his in
dependent race for Congress. Mr.
Graves, belngnan organized Demo
crat, could not do otherwise than
support Mr. Everett, who will be
the regular Democratic nominee.,
All honor to Mr. Graves for his
stand!
WHY SHOULD HE PROTEST.
In referring to Dr. Felton’s Rome
speecli the Athens Banner says:
Although a week has elapsed
since this independent pow-wow
was held, and lts proceedings were
telegraphed and published all over
the slate aud uulon, Gov. Gordou
has not littered n word of protest,
ami neither has lie repudiated the
endorsement given by those 7th
district 'independents.
Though The Recorder docs not
champion the candidacy of Gov.
Gordou for tiie United Stntea Sen
ate, we cannot see why he should be-
called upon to repudiate any cm
dorseineuts that may he given him
A republican convention might en
dorse him, hut would Gov. Gordon
be responsible for it?
Gov. Gordou is asking to beeleci-
od United States Senator, but he is
asking it of the Democratic party,
and if otlier parties, no matter un
der what name they sail, endorse
him, is that something he can he
responsible for?
The Augusta Chronicle publishes
the following curious epistle with
the statement that it Is a love letter,
writteu in cypher, the Recorder
would be pleased to publish a trans
lation of it from some of its enter
prising readers:

The Recorder of Saturday had
an article about Thotuasville, iu
which it was stated that that place
had attained its eminence ns a win
ter resort by judicious advertising,
The citizens of that place now pro
pose to get up a fund aud subscribe
for live hundred copies of theTiuies-
Etiterprlse, sending them to friends
and acquaintances North, This is
a good idea, as it keeps tiie name of
the town before that many people,
and if it lie tiie means of inducing
even a few to locate, it will have
amply repaid tiie investment.
Work on the building of Johnson
& Harrold, corner of Lee and La
mar streets, is rapidly progressing,
aud in a very short time the build
ing will be ready for use, anil will
be among the best business build
ings in the city. The counters and
shelving are being put ill, and the
plastering Is rapidly being done.
The store rooms will be among the
best in the city.

the outset that a morning daily

have patiently supported it, when
its support meant deficit aud not
revenue, continue to support it, and
will continue to do so until it pays
expenses.

From the Cuthbert Llberal-Enterpln-.
We keep posted on tiie price of

are paid for cotton as in any town

Th% Augusta Chronicle says: “To

it.” The Chronicle might go furth

to be in favor his election to the
Senate.

our merchants and businesa then
have determined shall be paid for
cotton in Ellaville.
To jnake this possible they met
Monday aud five of them agreed to
put up $500 eacii every five days

MR. D. B. HILL TALKS.
A Progressive Man.
From fhoThomasvIllcTlmes-Enterprisc.
Col. W. L, Glessner, editor of the
Americus Recorder, is in the
city. Mr. Glessner Is president of the
Georgia Press Association, nud one
of the most progressive men in
Georgia. He lias done as much as
any roan in Georgia to attract at
tention to the Empire State of the
South.
From the Atlnnta Constitution.
One of the most agreeable and lu-
teUigent gentlemen I have ever
met is Mr. D. B; Hill, of Americus
I yjge snatches of his interesting
talk caught at the Markham last
light.
“Hon. Charles Crisp, Congress
man from our district, lias the most
remarkable memory for names aud
faces. He never forgets the face of
a man whom he has met, and his
faculty is the same as regards chil
dren. He knows the face aud
name of every child lie has ever
met in Americus or anywhere else,
and never forgets it. If he has met
the child only once and saw it no
more, it matters not for how long,
he remembers the face and name
Just the same.
"There are two other very re
markable things about Mr. Crisp.
He is just the same Charley Crisp
to evet-ybody he knows whether lie
is running for office or not. His
pleasant manner is always the
same.
“The other Is his sticking at the
post of duty. He has remained
right at Washington during the
present session of Congress extend
ing through many months without
having visited his home in Autcri-
cus for even one day. His wife anil
lamiiy lia\;e remained at home all
the while, too. He lias not been out
of Washington, I believe, hut on6e
during tiie seBsslon, when lie run
over to N«w York to make a tariff
speech in Tammany hail.”
« * «
Mr. Hillsnys the census will give
Americus about li,200 population.
She lias two compresses, n furniture
factory, an ice factory, a guano fac
tory, an iron foundry, » score of
smaller industries—’las electric
street cars, electric lights, and Ju
push nud liveliness is a second At
lanta. The late Henry W. Grudy
once said of Americus that she was
the only rival Atlanta had In Geor
gia.
During the month of July Mr.
Hill, who lias a plantation in Lee
county, gave the negroes oil his
place a barbecue. He sent down
among otlier tilings a lot of l«moiis
and 500 pounds of ice to make lem
onade.
They didn’t understand exactly
how to form (he mixture, and one
old darkey advanced this unique
idea:
"Ef yer wan ter fix de water rite
fer de lemons, jes’ put all tic ice in
tie well about Friday ami by Sun
day it’ll solve aud de water’ll be
cool and nice an’ ready for to
squeeze dc lemons in it, an’ yer kin
jes’ draw up de lemonade fer all
’till yer can’t res’.”
