Will not a farmers’ legislature please give us a dog law? Several Georgia papers are al- reaby asking when the legislature will adjourn. If “Cousin" will send Ills or her name to this ofllce the communica tion sent will receive considera tion. That school teachers must get bettor salaries and he paid more promptly, seems to bo the opinion of the present legislature. Here Is a job for a me.tbmatician. Find out how the Gordon anil anti- Gordon factious cau both have 125 votes, out of u total of 219. If the Alliance, with a majority of fifty In the legislature, cannot 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! A NORTHERN MAN’S VIEWSI What He Thinks of the Late Election— 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 liarles F. Crisp, who lias demon strated his ability to cope with the keenest mimjH in tho Republican ranks, and fairly won in open bat tle the spurs which he so graceful ly wears. 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. Gould P. Smith 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. SUICIDE IN JAIL. Georse Crowell, Poisoner of Eleven People, Die. by Hi. Own Hand. The rapidity with which tho bars, restaurants and oyster and fish houses are opened shows that Americus people must be wined and dined, no matter how fast they come in. The Brunswick Times seems to have « grievance against Col. A. S. Cutts and the "Americus papers,” but after religiously reading the Times for several days Tim Re- cordek is still unable to discover what it is. The county election, which has been so quiet, promises to be a very lively aflair. With the primary and » circus in full blast, next Friday, tbe average Americus man would he happy were It not that the bars must close. 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. AH were made deathly sick, but recovered. He was tried, sentenced ten years imprisonment, ami was awaiting decision on applica tion for new trial at tbe time of his death. One farm, 725 acres, three miles from Americus.
