Entered at Amerlcus PoBt-Offlceassecond c ass matter. All communications should be addressed to A.MERICUS PUBLISHING CO, '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.

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.

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. 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.
