Alexander laughs at the idea that he will give up the presi dency of the Central road. There can be no complaint about the legislature not working now. They want to get home for Christ mas. The members of the Gate City Guards will doubtless not monkey with a program printer at the next drill. Here’s hoping The Recorder readers—and that includes eveiy- body—will have a merry Christmas week. Judge Fort’s appointment seems to be the most popular one ever mpdeby a Governor of Georgia. Every paper In the State is pleased with it—the Augusta Chronicle ex cepted. The newspapers have about set' tied it that it is a want of confi dence and not a lack of cash that has caused all this flurry. But who is to blame, the banks which have the cash, or the people who have the confidence ? What a bright, warm, pleasant day yesterday was! The iky was as blue, and the air as pleasant as a day in June. Who would live else where than in the South, when such days can be enjoyed? Ah but Southwest Georgia is a glorious country! Some Northern capitalists are trying to lay the blame of the money market flurry on the plant ers, saying they are withholding millions of bales of ootton from the market. Bless your soul, they are holdluglt because they can’t do anything else with it. The Augusta Chronicle does but give Americus justice In the edlUx rial we republish this morning. Americus may, or may not, be a “storm center," as the Chroniole says, but she is determined to stand up for her rights, and to stand by the men who helped give them to her. It Is said that the Terminal com pany owns $900,000 worth of Geor gia bonds. Some of our zealous contemporaries ought to make a note of this, and petition the legis lature to enaot a law against suoh a soulless corporation being the State’s creditor to such an amount. CHRISTMAS CONTRASTS. What a contrast In the Chlstmas days of the South and North! In one, cold, biting winds, heavy snow storms, and impassable roads; in the other, bright, warm, cheery days, with just enough of the North wind to bring roses to the girls cheeks and make out-of-door life a pleasure. And such a difference lu the way of celebrating the day! Christmas in the South resembles In a great measure the Fourth of July in the Northern States. In regard to the small boy and bis tin horn, though, they both are alike. If for once the seasons could be reversed, and the South have a big snow storm to makegood sleighing, and the North have a warm, sum mer day, it would doubly ennance the pleasure of both sections. As it is, neither can kuoworapprecla’e the pleasures of the other. The Northern Christmas day isos likely to bo cold, raw, with a freezing sleet, as it is to be a day for sleigh- ing parties. In regard to the weath er, the South is more certain of a nice, clear day, with a warm sun, that the North Is of even passable out door weather. With all due regard to the pleas ures of skating, coasting and sleighing of the North, Christmas day in all its glory is only to be found in the South. Here the open hearted hospitality of the people, a previous heirloom from past gener ations, makes the day doubly glad and welcome. Here the old En glish custom still exists of fami lies coming together around the table for a yearly meeting, a joy ous greeting, and a communion of love. Strangers are welcomed and made to forget that they are far from home. A feeling of peace permeates each heart until it over flows with good cheer to all. What a glorious day is Christmas, and bow we all love it, and look for ward to it. What a heritage Christ gave us In this day of “peace, and good will to all men. 1 We should love it, and keep it, reverence and observe It. Elder McGehee, presiding elder of the Americus district, reported in the Methodist conference the other day that three new churches had been built and paid for, and there was less than $260 due on pas tor’s salaries for the past year. This Is what the Bishop called a “wonderful report.” The Times, of Brunswick, usually an accurate paper, and one or two other papers less acourate, had the legislature adjourned Saturday night. These papers should give their Atlanta correspondents a raking over the coals, or compell them to remain out of bed until .news events are attended to prop- erly. Jnat ns Albany was rejoicing over Its new dummy engine a coal fam ine uo along, and the little steam ho. nj had to be put Into its stable until ooal becomes easier.—Bruns wick Times. This must be a mistake. The Al bany News assuredjTHB Recorder that under no ciroumstances would the street railroad atop operations —It would be ahead of Americas at least that much. A WORD TO THE WISE. The Atlanta Journal, a bright and lively paper, has the following double leaded satirloal editorial, the inference of which is obvious And so the Honorable Mr. Jay Gould is going to oome down here and try to pull a few tall feathers out of the unsophisticated in these parts. We warn him to beware. Mr. Gould is a sharp one in his line, but he doesn’t know every thing. It he is coming to put the sorews to the weak and helpless and to squeeze people and wreck railroads he will succeed. He is up to snuff and a plnoh or two over when comes to that. But we bear that this able patri ot has the presidential bee in his bonnet, having been misled by Dr. Macune’s theory that what the country needs Is "ooncert of action between the farmers and the rail roads." If the railroad monopolists aud Wall street speculators are to run the politics of the State and coun try, the people are entitled to have the straight goods, and Jason Is that kind of a man. But we notify Mr. Gould that if he lends any money to men who are “long” on influence and ’short" on bonk account he will get left. A word to the wise is as good as wheat Rt the mill. From Mr. Gould’s record, which Is quite well known, it is very safe to say that when he londs any money on “influence," the said in fluence will have to have an iron olad mortgage attached to it. It Is rumored that Gen. Alexan der will retire from the presidency of the Central system. The Re corder hopes this Is not so, as Gen. Alexander has given the Cen tral splendid service, and built up the road more in the past two years than had been done before in ten. He has utterly changed Its policy, and it no longer fights and. quarrels with everybody and ev erything. WILL BUILD TWO. Bays yesterday’s Albany News: We find in yesterday’s issue of The Americus Recorder the fol lowing paragraph giving the result of the aforesaid contemplated ac tion: “At the meeting yesterday noth ing definite was done, but It may be stated as almost certain that the Amerlous people will oontlnue to have a street oar service.” And In another part of the same paper under the head of “Sidewalk Talk” we find the following: “Young business men should not allow the street railroad to stop— not for a moment,” said a visitor yesterday. “Even if it don’t pay expenses, it is a big advertisement to you, and before many years it will be the best paying institution in the city.” The visitor was right. Suoh en terprises are not only an advertise' ment, but they are publio con veniences and Albany is going right along building two street rail roads. When we get them built we are going to keep them running too. As our Albany neighbor has doubtless found, through The Re corder, by this time, the street cars here have been discontinued for thirty days. Should the coal famine come to an end soon, the cars will doubtless be put on be fore that time. Never fear, Amer icus will continue to head the pro cession. I wish the world knew how good a remedy Dr. Bull’s Sarsaparilla la for general debility and llfelessness. It gave me strength when I was weak and my health was failing. I enjoy life for the first time In years.—Mrs. J. D. Goode, Ports mouth, Ohio. A SOLID CITY. While the bard times are press' ing our neighbors, and big firms are going to the wall dally, Araeri ous shows on what a solid basis she is built. Not a failure has been re' corded among the hundreds of bus iness houses lu this city, and they bid fair to withstand the financial depression with a clean record. The reason of this Is that Arnerl cus business men are, above all things, conservative. They work with ample capital, aud do not al low themselves to buy beyond their means to pay. As a natural consequence Americus Is rated high In the financial world, and can command capital when other places would be denied. A few days ago a dally paper In a certain Georgia town loudly boasted that Its city was rated by commercial agency as the best in Georgia. A day or two afterwards one of the oldest and largest firms In that place went to the wall, and it is rumored will carry several others with them. Perhaps The Recorder is boast ing too soon; wj hope not. At any rate, the past record will bear us out in the assertion that Americus has fewer failures in proportion to population than any city in Geor g's- Life is Misery To thousands of people who have the taint of scrofula in their blood The agonies caused by the uread' fui running sores and otber man! testations of this disease are be' yond description. There is noother remedy equal to Hood’s Sarsaparll la for scrofula, salt rbeum and ev ery form of blood disease. It Is reasonably sure to benefit all who give it a fair trial. Be sure to get Hood’s. THEY CONDEMN IT. Ellavllle Lodge No. 32, of Schley county, express its opinion in the following resolutions: Whereas, villainous and slander ous lies have been circulated to the detriment of our noble and high cause, the Farmers’ Alliance and Laborers Union. Resolved 1st, That we, the mem ben of Ellavllle Lodge No 32, do most emphatically condemn suoh, and that we hold in perfect con tempt ail men and papers who will stoop to suoh means to accomplish their political ends. Resolved 2nd, That we heartily renew our highest confidence in the Integrity and faithfulness of our State and National officers, believ ing them to be pure and unselfish in their efforts to advance the Alli ance cause. Resolved 3rd, That we unqualt- flediy condemn the course of our Alllanoe brethren in the LeglsU' ture in voting for John B. Gordon for U. S. Senator. All true alllanoe men should look well to the elec' tlon of their successors and select men who have nerve and brain to resist the entreaties of polltloal demagogues. Resolved 4th, That we request the Schley County News aud Southern Alliance Farmer to pub' llsh these resolutions. Unani mously adopted Dec. 13th, 1890. R. T. Bivens, Pres. C. R. Tonder, 8eo’t. “Don’t hang to my skirts and cry so,” said mamma, to her pevlsh and pale looking little girl. Ah! mother, if you would give It Dr. Bull’s Worm Destroyers it would soon feel well, and content edly play with Its blooks and toys. A Fine Turnout. Yesterday Mr. C. A. LeBter, of Sohley county, drove Into the city one of the' finest three hundred dollar horses ever seen on our streets, puIlinganeatOUver buggy, the best lu the world. He said that his wife had sent him down after Col. E. G. Simmons to go out and spend the holidays with them, that she always remembers old friends. The Colonel regrets very much that business prevents him from going. For sorofula in every form Hood’s Sarsaparilla Is a radioal, reliable remedy. It has an equalled record of cures.
