It promises to be Speaker Crisp.
Will not a farmers’ legislature

Several Georgia papers are al-

will adjourn.

That school teachers must get

If the Alliance, with a majority

elect their Senator, they might as
well withdraw from politics. Their
Influence has gone.
Some feverish Democrats aro ap
prehensive about the large major
ity they will have in the next Con
gress. Make Judge Crisp Speaker,
gentlemen, and he will see that
they aro all taken care of.
This is now the war cry: “I’m
your friend! Vote for .me, John
Smith." "Have loved Alliance-
men all my life. Vote for me, Dick
Doe." "I am slandered and
persecuted. Vote for me, Richard
Roe.” And so it goeB.
A Republican Iowa paper advises
the Democratic party to get rid of
its bosses, and says It would have a
decent party then. We suppose the
paper 1b thluking of Its own party
bosses, and the destruction they
have caused the party.
Some Georgia papers will have a
dish of very uupalltable crow to eat
after next Tuesday, but as The
Recorder has no pet candidate for
Senator, it cau laugh at the boys
• whilq they make their faces over
this unsavory dish.
The New York World docs not
favor tbe theory that a Southern
man should not be made Speaker
of the House on account of reviving
sectionalism. It contends that the
South has as much right to elect a
Speaker as tbe North, if It cab. Tho
World has probably beard one or
two of Judgs Crisp’s speeches, and
has the Judge in mind.
The Albany News.says that post
master Brlmberry, ot that city,
runs tbe ofllce to suit himself, and
not the people. Prefer charges
against him, neighbor. The Re
publican ofllelala are going to be
mighty accommodating hereafter,
and Mr. Brlmberry will buve to
run things right or get out. That’s
the way to tlx him.
‘‘LITTLE JEALOUSY."
The Coidele Cordele&n has a very
unique and crushing style of argu
ment. Because The Recorder
has opposed the building of the At
lanta & Florida road from Fort
Valley to Cordole by Americus peo
pie tbe Cordclean thus argues
"Just so long as tbe Americus
Recorder tights enterprises that
build up other cities simply be
cause it does not build up Ameri
cus, just so long will tills little pa
per and this little editor be looked
upon as little contracted and pars!

All Hail to the Bolid South.
monious in their views and ideas,
The Cordeleau, in its zeal for Its
town forgets that The Recorder
baB made no war on Cordele. The
Recorder believes that Americus
money should first go to building
up Americus; and that the building
of the A. & F. by Americus people
to Cordele will injure Americus.
The Recorder does not call Cor
dele names, nor belittle the editor
of the Cordolean, nor will libeled
to suen a course by the flings of the
Cordelean. If the Cordeleau has
not good arguments to advance as
to why the A. & F. should be built
by Americus money, It should not
show the weakness of its cause by
perspual billingsgate.
HON. C- F. CRISP.
What a great thing It is to be a
“prominent polltioiau." At a mo
ment’s notice be can pack bis
grip, catcb a train, and be whirled
to Atlanta, there to “influence”
some one to vote for some one or
something be doesn’t want tu.
Tbe politician can also pay bis
own railroad fare and hotel bill,
just to show bis "influence."
Representative Bolfeuillet, of
Bibb, lias introduced a bill making
the ofllce of State School Commis
sioner an elective one by tbe peo
ple. This is right. A Board of
Pardons is also a greatly needed
institution in Georgia, not that Gov.
Northen would not use the par
doning power wisely, but it is too
much responsibility to throw on
one man, connected with his nu
merous other duties.
From tbe Albany News.
Congressman Blount is no doubt
a popular and useful member, but
his services in Congress have never
partaken of leadership, and there
fore his candidacy for the speaker
ship is to a certain extent presump-
tlous. If a Georgia member is to
he honored with that high distinc
tion, that member should he

rom the N. Y. Star.
Mr. Mills has formalfy
nounced Ids cAdldacy for the
Speakership of tho House. There
are now six declared candidates in
the field: Mills, of Texas, Crisp
and Blount of Georgia, Springer of
Illinois, Bynun) of Indiana and
Hatch of Missouri-. Mr. IllounV
candidacy is represented as being
really in tbe interest of Mr. Mills
to divide tbe Georgia delegation.
From tho Darien Gnzctte,
There is one thing certain and
that is, that Hon. Charles F. Cilsp,
-<ft Georgia, will be Speaker of the
next Democratic Congress.
From tho Cuthbert Liberal-Enterprise,
TUe -time has arrived when tbe
solid South is entitled to some re
cognition. To the South rightly be
longs the speakership of the next
House. The man and the occasion
have met. The man Is Cluis. F.
Crisp, of Georgia.
From the Buenft Vista Patriot.
The papers all over the country
are speaking favorably of Judge
C r isp as the next speaker of the
House. It would be a great honor
to Georgia especially the Third dis
trict. His great devotion and ser
vice to the party ^demands recogni
tion.
ABOUT “THE RECORDER "
From the Athene Banner.
Mr. Aif Harper has accepted a
position on the Americus Record
er, whore he serves in the capacity
of city editor. Mr. Harper lias been
Identified with the Bannerforsome
months past, and lias established
quite a reputation as a writer. He
wields a graphic, expressive pencil,
and his many friends In Athens
will regret to learn of his determi
nation to leave Athens.
CITY EDITOR.
The Bpecial immigration number
of “Dixie” has come to hand. It is
beautlfufeditlon, elegantly printed
and altogether very creditable to
tbe publishers. Tht opening arti
cle Is a very flue one on “Tbe
South—Her Prosperity, Progress
and Wealth,” form tbe pen of Al
exander, Pope Hull, tbe editor-in-
chief. Dixie Is now an establish
ed and creditable institution In
Georgia. It Is prosperous, and 1 *
certainly well conducted.
For some weeks Mr. Alf. Harper
iias been In charge of the local col
umns of The Recorder, but as no
permanent arrangement had been
entered Into, no announcement has
been made.
From this date Mr. Harper will
be City Editor of The Recorder,
and auy favors shown Uiui will be
duly appreciated.
An editorial in Sunday’s Consti
tution gave the reason why that
paper has not favored Gordon for
the Senate. It says that when the
last Senatorial election occurred,
Henry Grady could have been
elected it Gordon bad supported
him. Ill view of tbe fact that Gra
dy bad elected Gordon when be
was a candidate for Governor, the
Constitution >uys this shows the
smallness and Ingratitude of Gor
don—hence, lteanuot support him.
It is said Gordon will not reply to
this charge.
Notwithstanding the great ex
citement attendant over tile elec
tion of a Senator, the legislature
has had about twice as many bills
Introduced so far this term as at
tbe same time last term. The
farmers seem to think we have not
enough laws, or that those we
have are not the right kind. A
great many of tbe new bills are
what are called “private bills."
Editor Recorder:—Enclosed,
find P. O. order to apply on sub
scription. In view of the recent
political cyclone that has swept
over tbe country, I feel It Incitin'-
bent upon me to pay up.
I also send you by this mall a
few copies of a local paper, not for
tbe news they contain, but that
you may have some idea of how
Democrats in this section feel over
tbe result.
I think I hinted In a former let
ter that something of the kind
might be looked for, but great
heavens! I never anticipated such
a scoop! Tbe contemplation of
takes one’s breath away, and we
can hardly yet realize tbe full
scope of the victory. Wliy, we
have hardly needed any food for
the last week. When we get bun
gry we have only to sit down and
read the latest returns, to satisfy
tbe appetite, and it makes no dif
ference whether we read a Demo
cratic paper or a haif-breed, both
are equally satisfying.
One of the amusing features in
the latter is tbe many ways by
which they try to account for it.
but, either purposely or through
the blindest ignorance, none
them have given tbe true expl&na
tion.
There lias been inaugurated what
formed the subject of one of Henry
Ward Beecher's lectures. The
reign of the Common People. They
seem to have realized at last that
the Republican party is the most
stupendous fraud of this or any
other age. While making a pre
tense of intense piety and virtue
most of its leaders are, and have
been for years,tbe most unmitigated
set of scoundrels that ever went un
liuug.
There is always more or less of
bitterness mixed with all earthly
joys, and in the present case it is
the return to Congress of Reed and
Lodge, although foul-mouthed
Cannon lias been fired, and robber
McKinley left out in the cold. But
there is abundant cause for rejofc
ing, therefore let us rejoice. All
hail to the solid South and their
honest colaborers of the North! If
they will but remain solid, and
avoid local dissensions, and unite
with us in battling against tbe
common enemy, it will not be long
until an era of good government
and national prosperity 1b inaugu
rated. Yours very truly.

SUPERIOR COURT
Established 1867
Incorporated 1890.
To Convene Next Monday—A List of
The Juror*.
Insurance Against Disease.
In certain Instances there have
been arrangements made between
physician and the head of a fam
ily that a fixed amount should be
paid for each day the various mem
bers of tbe family continued in good
health. But should sickness enter
the household, the physician's
usual stipend was discontinued.
Such an agreement is founded on
common sense, for we don’t want
be made well, we want to be kept
well. There is a great deal of un
necessary sickness resulting from a
want of careful attention'to bodily
requirements. Keep the blood
pure, keep the functional habltB of
the body regular, counteract the
effects of exposure by always hav
ing a bottle of Dr. John Ball's Sar
saparilla in tbe household and
usiug It in anticipation ot an attack
illness or when the very first
symptoms are manifest. Disease
Hi not trouble you if you will heed
this good advice. It is an excel
lent preventive of disease and de
cay, as weil as a safe cure.—Marion
Banner.
Tils re is a little creek in Rowell’s
district, in Illinois, uamed Salt
Creok, which, by tho way has never
had an appropriation from tbe gov
ernment. As Rowell's district has
heretofore been strongly Republi
can it was not thought necessary to
have tbe rocks and snags removed
for tbe Democrats who have bad
to make periodical excursions on its
classic waters. We presume, that
Bro. Jonathan now wishes he had
paid less attention to ousting Dem
ocrats, and more to an appropriation
for this creek, as lie has an extend
ed engagement on it now.

A mule was instantly killed just
after dark Saturday in an unusual
manner- It seems that a pair of
mules hitched to Mr. R. S., Wind
sor’s wagon was being driven into
town, and when just in front of Dr
E. J. Eidrldge’s, on Lee street, met
with an accident.
A horse, and buggy was coming
towards the team at a lively gait.
The electric light was not burn
ing,and the driver of the outgoing
team, not seeing the one approach
ing, drove too near, tbe shaft of his
busrgy striking one of the mules
directly in the chest. The force
was sufficient to thrust it into the
heart, and the mule dropped dead.
Whose buggy It was, and who
was driving, was not learned, as
the shaft was quickly extracted
and the team driven on.

George Crowell, a negro in the
Stewart county jail at Lumpkin,
was fouud dead in his cell Friday.
Physicians were summoned imme
diately and pronounced the death
due to poisoning. Crowell had
been sick for a week or so, but was
thought to be nearly well, the sick
ness being attributed to poison.
It will be remembered that
Crowell attempted to kill eleven
people last February by poison.
