ANOTHER SPLIT.
The senatorial convention of tbe
thirty-fifth district, composed of
Fulton, Cobb and Clayton counties,
the home of the great leaders of
publieopiuinn, lias had a split, and
two candidates are before the pec
pie.
This ill itself is not remarkable
but what iB remarkable is that the
two great dailies of Georgia have
not endeaved to prevent this split,
These papers seek to lead public
opinion iu tills state, aud lustily
cry for "harmony,” “harmony,”
when there is trouble in the ranks
iu other portions of the state, but
when it touches their own homes
they are too "conservative to
read their followers a lecture.
Fulton and Cobb counties are no
torious for (lie number of candidates
to the square Inch, but as Cobb is
but an annex of Fulton we should
not blame her for that spirit. Now
that the two have come together
we may look for a warm war of
ballots.
It is. perhaps, paying a great com
pliment to the Atlanta Constitution,
to say that it could have averted
tills split, but it least owes it to the
Democratic party to condemn it,
and not make political capita! for
tself by discreetly remaining silent.
This great paper is uot surely
stultifying Itself in the effort to
elect itB brilliant young managing
editor Speaker of the uext House?
He has a splendid record to back up
bis claims for that office, not to
mention his brilliant qualities of
statesmanship. But the Constitu
tion haB more than once this sea
son avoided an expression of opin
ion, where in duty to its readers it
should have made one, and these
ommlssions cannot all pass unno
ticed.
It la high time that the Demo
cratic party was drawing in its
Hues and calling a halt on such
methods. Should it uot do so soon,
it may be too late.
JOURNALISM IN GEORGIA.
Journalism is very lively in this
state just now. Whether it is be
cause of the differences ill political
matters among the people, or
whether tbe great industrial growth
is a factor The Recorder knows
not, but new papers are springing
up iu every section of the state,
and as a rule, both old aud new are
prosperous. It seems to he a pe
culiar feature in journalism, with
few rare exceptions, that two pa
pers cannot live iu tbe same town,
no matter how large tlie place may
be, without continual bickerings
and quarrellngs. Two grocery men
may live side by side for years in
peace, and the same may be said of
other occupations, lint let two pa
pers get within twenty miles of
each other, and tlie hair is sure
to fly.
Why this should lie The Hecob-
per never couldunderstaud. Leav
ing out of tlie question the usual
"mission” that a newspaper lias, it
must most certainly make money to
pay its expenses, and it has the
equal right to do that as has a cro-
ceryinau, a lawyer, a dootor, a
preacher, or a railroad.
With this fact once recognized,
The Recorder cannot see why
newspaper men should uot be us
peaceably dlB|>oeed as men engaged
in any other business, for surely ail
writers are not fighters also.
ANYTHING IN THIS?
A report has appeared In several
papers that a certain member of tlie
legislature was paid $100,000In stock
for getting the bill through the leg
islature oll’erlng the Okefenokee
swamp for sale. Of tills report the
Columbus Enquirer-Bun says:
“Is there as any scandal connect'
ed with tlie recent legislation pro
viding for the sale of the Okefeno
kee swamp? We do no', know that
there is, but It is alleged that the
bill was lobbied through, and that
a member of the General Assembly
who engineered the measure and
who was most active in securing its
passage, is now one of the largest
stockholders in the Okefenokee
company, aud was paid $100,000 In
the stock for ids services in tlie
Legislature. This was a vasi prop
erty for the State to give away, and
it was given away for a song, ft is
a matter for investigation. Wheth
er or not tbe charges made be trufe,
they are gaining wide public circu
lation, and it is due the people of
Georgia as well as the ‘Okefenokee
syndicate’ that the facts be ascer
tained.”
AN AMENDE.
The Recorder desires to make
tlie umeude 'honorable to its es
teemed contemporary, the Atlanta
Constitution, for intimating that
tlie Constitution would not de
nounce the bolting delegates ill the
Thirty-lifth Senatorial District,
composed of Fulton, Coob and
Clayton counties. The Constitu
tion’s editorial, “Ail Unwarranta
ble Split,” In its issue of Friday,
has the right ring, and shows con
clusively that it is not afraid to
censure Democrats when they
need it. *
There wonld be fewer disruptions
in the Democratic party U there
more .Democrats like Clarke
Howell.
SMALL MANUFACTORIES.
The Recorder of yesterday con
tained an iuterview with a promi
nent gentleman of the East which
was significant.
Probably uot ono in a hundred
people realize the great wealth we
.have at our doors in our inexhaust
ible timber, and for that reason
probably more than any other, no
steps have been taken to develop it.
True, we have saw mills by the
hundred, and they are enttingdown
our larger pines as fast as human
strengtli aud energy can do it.
But there is any amount of other
fine timber in this region, and very
little of it has evhr been touched.
Our Yankee friends send down
South aud buy our timber, pay the
freight on it, work it up, and then
send it back to us in the Bhape of
wagons, buggies, carriages, wheel
barrows, and thousands of other ar
ticles we are constantly buying and
using. We buy it at a good round
price, aud the Yankee pockets the
money and Bmiles.
Americus is large enough, has
the capital and energy, attd should
easily support from one to two
dozen wood-working factories. They
cost but little money to start and
tlie demand for tlie goods would be
so great that there would be no
trouble in selling everything made.
Huudreds of Northern mechanics
who have a little money and a
great deal of experience would be
glad to move Booth and go into
such enterprises, and it was but a
few mouths ago that The Recor
der endeavored to interest our bus
iness men in a wood-working ven
ture, a gentleman in Ohio with am
ple experience standing ready to
put his capital in if a home compa
ny would aid him. .
Hmall things like these pay aud
do more to sustain a city than any
thing else in it. Now that we have
the freight facilities, the timber,
and everything else but the me
chanical experience, would it not
be a good idea to Investigate in this
direction?
WILL GET LEFT.
The Tribune of Home has made a
proposition to Mr. Fe'ix Corput
that if Attorney-General Anderson
will write the names of one hun
dred prominent citizens of Macon,
and ten of that number will endorse
Mr. Corput and his administration
as Mayor of Macon, the Tribune
will withdraw all charges against
Mr. Corput andjsupport him forthe
Legislature.
Mr. Corput-has gone to work on
receipt of this 'news, and lias had
a half-dozen ex-aldermen endorse
him, aud will no doubt get plenty
more endorsements.
The Tribune should have remem
bered that it is an easy matter for
aiiy man to get an endorsement on
paper when it costs nothing, and
will doubtless have to pay for its
experiment by eating a good sized
dish of crow—or backing down.
