'Wlret w'H the
the force bill?
South do about
“Talk the force bill to death,’’
seems to be the aim of the Demo
cratic senators.
Instead of being stoned at Ocala,
Dr. McOune has been caned—and
a gold headed one at that.
The Allianeemeti .are attiring
things up in Ocala, even If they
did excuse McCuue and Living
ston.
Gordon has clearly captured the
Alliance—and the Alliance has evi
dently captured the Senator. Thug
“all ends happily.”
The Rome Tribune announces
that Mr. Branham will not take
editorial charge of that paper until
the first of January.
Editor Gunn is inclined to be
suspicious of Liylngston and Uar
ry Brown, since they got defeated
in the Senatorial fight.
Should the salary be reduced one
or two more times, no man in the
State could be found wbo would
become a railroad commissioner.
The third party Idea at the Alli
ance convention at Ocala has about
been given up. The old Demo
cratic party is good enough for the
Southern Alllancemen.
That was clearly a breath from
cousin Jack Frost that we had yes
terday and last night. But if we of
the South are eold, what must our
Northern friends be Buffering?
A rising young Napoleon of
finance says there will soon be no
scarcity of money, but in the*mean-
time the banks bang lovingly on to
what they have In their vaults.
The Augusta Chronicle seems
willing for Savannah to name the
new railroad commissioner, bat
stubbornly refuses to believe that
this sectlou has a claim for any
offlee.
Gazaway Hartrldge, editor of the
Savannah Times, has fallen Into
audflen honor. He was oarrled to
Borne in a special car and lectured
to a fine audience. His Alliance
speech did it. .
The race for tax oollector prom
ises to be a warm one. The great
number of candldateB will bring
out a big vote, audour political pro
phet just now is “sawing wood and
saying nothing."
JUDGE MATHEWS.
By reference to our news columns
it will be Been that CoT. J. G.
Mathews has beeu nominated and
confirmed Judge of the County
court of Sumter county. Col.
Mathews is a lawyer of well known
ability and sterling Integrity, and
will make a Judge of whom Sumter
county will be proud. He is one of
Amerlcus young men, though his
experience at the bar has been of
many years.
Judge j. B. Pllsbury, whose term
will not expire for some time, has
made a reputation that auy mau
can be proud of, and his rulings
has made for him a state reputa
tion. He haa broken up many
gango of lawless, gambling negroes,
to whom he has meted out striot
justice.
To the Buffering.
Over one hundred columns of
voluntary certificates have been
printed iu the Atlanta Journal from
each people as Rev. J, B. Haw
thorne, Bev. Sam P. Jones, Hon.
H. W. Grady, MaJ. Chas. W. Hub-
ner, late of the "Christian Index,”
Gen. James Longstreet, Col. W.
Avery, late editor Atlanta “Consti-
tlon,” and hundred* of prominent
divines, editors, doctors, specialists
and others, certifying to remakable
cures performed by Dr. King’s Roy
al Germafjcr, after eminent physi
cians and all known remedies bad
(ailed. Send two-cent stamp to
King’s Royal Germatuer Co., At
lanta, Ga., for book of particulars.
It is truly a great remedy, and
furely cures when all else falls
OVER-BOOMING.
The Manufacturers’ Record (or
Deo. 6th has a fine article compar
ing the density of population In the
North and South. Georgia’s pres
ent census gives her 31 people to
the square mile, while Illinois flas
near 69 to the square mile. It will
be seen by this that several million
more people can be added to our
population without, as the Record
suggests, “filling in the watBr
courses.”
MaDy people both North and
South think the buildingand boom'
ingofuew towns has beeii-over-
done, and that a reaction will now
come with the present tight
ness of money, which will check
any future efl'orts In this direction,
and retard the prospects of the
"boomed" towns. While it may
be true that people »111 be slow to
Invest in these towns while a sem
blance of a panic is on us, it will
not seriously affect those towns
.which are the natural growth of
the section In which It Is located.
Iu some sections there is a tendency
to over-boom young towns, which
are started by enterprising specu
lators for the sole purpose of selling
out a high figure, but the wiping
out of such places will only have
the effect of making intending pur
chasers the more cautious, and of
cansing said enterprising specn
lators to Invest in some more legit
imate business, where the profile
may be smaller but more cetta.n.
Any section that has good natur
al advantages undeveloped, need
not fear any re-aetlon from these
“over-boomed” towns. If It can
stand the close inspection that any
wise immigrant would give it, it
need not fear the result. The
Southern boom has but begun, and
in the next ten years millions
of people will find homes and occu
pation in the South.
THE DUTY OF THE SOUTH.
There is hardly a doubt but that
the Republican Senate and House
propose passing some kind of a
force bill, and that Pres. Harrison
Will sign it 1b shown by his mes
sage. The bill that will be passed
win be aimed directly attbejSouth;
in fact, it will be made to cover the
South only, restrictions being
thrown arouud It to make it inap
plicable to the North.
The Democrats will do their best
to defeat the passage of the bill,
but under Reed’s rules they cau be
easily squelched at the proper
time.
If this bill Is passed and becomes
a law, it will be a heavy blow to
the South. It will not increase the
Republican vote, but It may In
crease tbe Republican representa
tion. In this emergency the press of
hetSouth should rise as one mau and
not only protest against the bill,
but write to their Northern frlendB
to help. Every merchant In the
South should write to tbe Northern
dealers who supply him with goodB,
and not only made. It a political
protest, but an Industrial one as
well. Concerted action should be f
taken, and that at once.
Those men of the North wbo
have put their money In Southern
Investments should be appealed to,
and shown how suob a law would
seriously affeot their Interests.
The time is ripe for action. Have
we no great newspaper or great po
litical leader who will sound the
warning?
SHOULD BE REPRESENTED.
In another column we publish an
interview with Col. Way, Georgia’s
Commissioner to the World’s Fair,
with tbe Atlanta Constitution. As
the State constitution prohibits any
appropriations from the treasury
for such purposes, Tjie Recorder
is afraid Georgia cannot have a
State exhibit at the expense of the
State, though there lr. no doubt but
the people would gladly vote the
necessary money if they could.
That Georgia should have a fine
exhibit there Is no question, and it
will be a lasting disgrace to the
State if it does not have one. An
exhibit of tbe resources of tbe State,
properly collected and arranged,
would’show up Georgia in a new
light to even the people wlip live In
tlie State. While California will
do doubt haves magnificent-ex
hibit with a fund of half a million
to get it, The Recorder believes
tbat Georgia would not be afraid to
stand beside her if even only friO,-
000 was expended. True, no extra
(rills oould be put on with tbat sum,
and champagne and lithographed
cards (or visitors would have to be
dispensed with, and those In charge
might even have to smoke five cent
Cigars, but the State could be well
shown up for that sum.
The Recorder hopes Gov. Nor-
then will find a way by which tbe
State can be represented, aud at
the State’s expense, for people take
more lirl.le In something they pay
for than If It was given to them—
especially of this character. Even
If the Governor has to strain a
point or two there will be no growl
ing from tbe people—they have too
much confidence In our Governor
to do that.
MATHEWS FORJUDGE.
HIS NOMINATION WAS CONFIRMED
BY THE SENATE YESTERDAY.
But Little Business Done Yesterday,
Beyond Bonding Bills—Cjnflrmations
By the Senate—The Twltty BUI.
Special to Hkcordkb.
Atlanta, Dec. 6.—This was a
typical Saturday session—a day of
empty benohes and second read-
lags, of motions to adjourn and
otherwise unbroken monotony.
The tax bill was not peached In
tbe house, tbe entire day belug
given up to the reading of bills a
second time. In tbe Senate it was
aim >Ht ss dull, ouly a few local
bills being passed, and tbat of Sen.
Terrell, In reference to Insurance
company combinations and pools.
Marties bill to appropriate money
for the Techuolog'cal School, was
also passed.
COUNTY COURT JUDGES.
In executive session tne follow
ing appointments were confirmed:
J. C. Matthews, county court
judge of Sumter county.
S. J. Jones, county court solicitor
of Dougherty county.
T. N. Hopkins, county court so
licitor of Thomas count/.
THE TWITTY llllf..
The fight on the Twltty bill was
postponed by the bill being re-com-
inltted. It will probably come up
as the prominent feature of the
Senate session Monday.
THE ADJOURNMENT.
The tax act is to be taken up
Monday In tbe House "whether or
no.”
The best that can Reasonably be
hoped for now Is adjournment by
the 20th; and even then a great
deal of business must be left unfin
ished.
DELEGATES TO THE
Southern Inter-Btate Immigration Con
vention.
All delegates to the Southern In
ter-State Immigration Convention,
to convene in the city of Asheville,
N. C. December jl7th to 19th,
are Interested in the circular of M.
Slaughter, Esq., published here
with.
Delegates should call on their
ticket agents at once, and show
them this notice, and ascertain
whether the tickets are on sale. It
not on sale they should request
their ‘agents to s te1egraph at once,
not wait to write, to the general
passenger agent of their line and
secure tickets for them. This is
very Important as in many in
stances tiokels are not sent out in
time and delegates are prevented
from attending.
Every town In the South that de
sires to maroh forward with the
South’s present onward movement,
should send delegates and bear the
expenses of the delegates.

ta, Ga., November 17, 1890.—To

Weak Men and Weak Womon
Men and women both Buffer from
weakness and loss of strength
Women, however, suffer more than
men. Men don’t have those bear
ing down pains, the bane of a weak
woman’s existence. Roth, ho.w-
jvt-r. have their dizzy spells, both
bemoan their loss of appetite, their
lack of energy, that feeling of wea
riness and constant fatigue. Both
become lauguid, insipid, and life to
either hardly seems worth living
Their kidneys are weak aud seem
wasting away. Their livers are in
active, their slomachs disord....
their bowels irregular. Oh! fool
foolish men and women! why will
you not seek the way to health and
Btrengtb. Others as miserable as
yourselves are now in the full en
joyment of happy, joyous life, elm
ply because they put prejudices
aside aud began the use of that ex
cellent alterative known as Dr.
John .Bull’s Sarsaparilla. Ask
your nelghboi s who have used it
what they think about it. Ask
your druggist for a bottle, aud don’t
take auy other.
An Important Land Case.
Esquires J. W. Haygood, ofMon-
tezuma; Wm Brunson, Jr., of Ma
con; J. W. Busby, of Vienna; G
W. Wooten, of Vienna, and D. A.
R Cnimra, of Vienna, were in
Amerlcus yesterday to argue an
important land case before Judge
Fort.
The case involves a large tract of
land in Dooly county and takes the
form of Bedgood and Royal vs. H.
A. McLaue.
It has been tried onee and the ar
gument is on the plea for a new
trial.
GORDON CAPTURES THE ALLIANCE.
He Is To Be Initiated In Edgowood Al
liance Next Thursday Night.
Special toRacoanBB.
Atlanta, Dec. 6.—A decided
sensation was created to-day by'tbe
announcement that Gen. Gordon is
to be initiated In the Alliance..
The announcement is authorita
tive. Gen. Gordon was to have
been initiated into Edgewood Alli
ance last night ; but for some rea
son It was postponed until Tuesday
next.
The members of the legislature
who are Alllancemen are making n
strong effort to Induce the Edge-
wood Alliance to conduct the exer
cises of the initiation in the agri
cultural committee room at the
capitol, as they all want to take a
hand.
It looks ae If Gordon had captur
ed tbe whole Alliance. They are
all (or him now.
I never was strong and I married
a delicate little lady. We traveled
much in search ot fiealth, but we
remained invalids until we >>egau a
use o* Dr. Bull’s Sarsaparilla. We
both are now In better health and
(eel stronger.—B. A. Mathews,
Hwrlaburg, Pa.
Scrofula is that Impurity, in tbe
blood which, accumulating in the
glands of the neck, produce un
sightly lumps or swellings, which
causes painful runhlng sores on
the arms, legs or feet, which de
velops ulcers in the eyes, ears or
nose, often cauBiHg blindness or
deafness, which is the origin of
pimples, cancerous growths and
many other manifestations ushally
ascribed to "humors.” P. P. P. Is
the friend In need. A course of
this valuable blood purifier, and
you will be a well man. If you
suffer from Scrofula in any of its
various forms, be sure to take P. P.

The Columbia Calendar.
The Recorder is in receipt of
the "Columbia” Calendar for 1890.
It is a very haudy calendar for a
businessman’s desk, each day hav
ing its own slip of paper, on which
is printed something in regard to
cycling, leaving room (or any note
that may be made (or that day.
If Your House 1, on Fire
You pul water on the burniag tim
bers, noton the smoke. And If you
have catarrh you should attack the'
disease In the blood, not In your
nose. Remove the impure cause,
and tbe local effect subsides. To
do this, take Hood’s Sarsaparilla,
the great blood purifier, which radi
cally and permanently cures ca
tarrh. It also strengthens the
nerves. Be sure to get only Hood’s
Sarsaparilla.
For Assault to Murder.
J. B. Brock, of Ashburn, was ar
rested here yesterday on charge of
assault with Intent tomurder. The
occurrence leading to the arrest
took place a few days since. Brock
was landed in jail last night, and
will be carried back to Worth coun
ty to-day.
Eczema, scalp covered with erup
tions, doctors proven valueless.
P. P. P. was tried aud the hair- be
gan to grow again, not a pimple
