Americus real estate is fifty pec- cent cheaper, in proportion to what it !h north, than real estate in any city in Georgia. Secretary of War Proctor refuses to appoint I,leut. Satterlee ns in structor of Georgia militia at Gov. NorOlen's request. SKILLED IMMIGRANTS. Editor Whitmire, of the bright Brunswick Times, is opposed to the Immigration of tile pauper labor of Europe to Georgia, hut iain favor of direct trade, will) a big D. A few figures, showing tlie large pro portion of those who emigrate here " I to have no trade or vocation, lias scared him, and lie proposes that no emigrants he received tinloss they are certified to be skilled nte- chaujgs, able farmers, or have a vocalic n by which they can earn a living. This is ail very good. The Re corder is not in favor of direct trade for the purpose alone of bringing emigrants to the South— in fact, we are rather opposed to that class, and would rather depend upon the steady movement from the North and West to populate our waste lands, if we cannot do it ourselves. Very few sections have found these European emigrants to he desirable settlers, though many of them are honest, hard-working people, Direet trade is a very good tiling, su far as the trade goes.Jtut it will not do to start it witli the idea of reaping the benefit front the emi grants who may come to the South from the old countries. All tlte moderate-sized Georgia towns want the State encampment. Why not locale it in Americus, aud settle the quarrel? Right now 1- a good time to invest in Americus dirt. There will be heavy dealings in real estate before tile summer is over. The Albany News announces that the Albany & Cordele road will be completed to Albany by- March 1st. Glad to ltuow it. “When there's a will there’s a way, aud wheu there's a way there can ini light, and there was light,” said Mayor J. B. Felder Saturday ulglit. The New York haukers are op posed to a silver law. That, in it self, is almost enough to cause a common Congressman to vote for the I ill. Now, if some one would only get tile street railway into tile courts, ami Mayor Felder could be ap pointed receiver, thA cars would move. Let some creditor try it. Our editorial correspondence from Ohio, In tit's morning’s Re- coudkh, will give our readers some idea of the worth of cotton seed to our Northern friends. The Democrats are Having a great tight in the senateou tlte force bill, and it promises to he the last. The bill will either be passed or de feated. A continuous scssiou is being held. Henry Clews* Co’s. circular says that the market is taking a breath ing spell, and that the projected sil ver .ill is suicided. Who would expect anything different from the.-e people. Friendship is uot yet dead. One hundred and thirty-two Knights have submitted to the surgeon’s Unite In order to provide the neces sary llesh to cover tlte removal of a cancer from a deceased brother Knight. The Constitution calls ou the raiboailH for a subscription of $7,5011 uud a one cent a mile rate for the Piedmont exposition next fall. Thin sounds rather brassy, but what’s the nee of having railroads unless you can use them. At tlte Jackson celebration of the Manchester Democrats Thursday, a letter was read from Mr. Cleve land predicting Indisputable tri umph for tho party as the result of perseverance in resolute resistance to tli” unscrupulous tactics of Now Hamp-hire Republicans. Tue following is u copy of what purports to lie a geuuiue composi tion t : “Breathing,” written by n hoy iu a Yorkshire school: “Breath is made of air. If It wasn't for our breath we should die when we slept. Our breath keeps the life a going through our nose when we arc asleep. Boys that stay iu a room all day should not breathe. They Omuld wait out doors. Hoys in a room make earlionicide. Car- bontcide is poisoner than mad dogs. A heap of soldiers was iu a black hole iu India, and a carbouicide got in aud killed nearly every one be fore tno morning. Girls kill the breath with corsets that squeeze the diagram. Girls can’t run or or holler like beys, because their diakf-in Is squeezed too much.” IF NOT, WHY NOT? - The Columbus Enquirer-Sun is uneasy in its mind about how Georgia Is to be represented at the coming World’s Fair. For that matter many people who have an interest in the welfare’of the State are also uneasy about it. Gov. Gordon appointed Hon. Charlton H. Way as one of the Commissioners from Georgia, aud wheu Mr. Way went to Chicago he was appointed on some good com mittees. lie returned, and several interviews were published, in which lie exhibited a laudable de sire to have the State represented, hut so far as The Recorder can see, that lias been tlie end of it. An cflort was mad* to liave the leg islature, thou in session, take up tlie matter, but it was not done. Of course it is not Mr. Way’s duty to see that the State is repre sented. That, we believe, devolves upon the legislature or the Gover nor, though the latter can do noth ing without the sanction of the leg islature. Surely there should be n way to have the State represented The Recorder cannot believe that there is not. eveu though the :mr- row-ralnded constitution prohibits any appropriation. Cannot our houorabie commis sioner nndourGovernor get togeth er and devise same way to secure the funds necessary? MR. CALHOUN. In a letter to the Cuthbert Llb- eral-EnterprlHef Mr. J, H. Hand, a member of the legislature, defends Mr. Pat Calhoun from charges that j ,,r lint'D lituin (unite nnnlnut lilt,, IT.. , to OUR CITY LIGHTS. Sec. LOS of the Code of the city of .‘.merlcus reads as follows: r "The system of gas works shall he in all respects ttrst-claas, suita ble aud adequate for tlie present and future requirements of the city of Americus, and In planning the details of the work, ample provis ion shall be made as regards dimen sions, locations, ele., for nny aud all extensions which may be re quired by the future growth cf the city.” Tlie Recorder does not want to get up and howl about uotbing, but is forced to cell tlie attention of tlie people to the contract between tlie city council and tlie Light and Power Cftmpauy. The contract calls for first class gas. This we liave never had, therefore the con tract bas been annulled by the company from the'Beginning. The people liave borne witli the com pany and their poor gas it ug enough, and it is now apparnnt that souio- tliiug will liave to be done to secure lights. Lights that cau lie relied upon. If the plant is too small aud inadequate to furnish light, let tlie company returu their franchise to the city, step down aud out aud al low some one who will perform their part of the contract take hold of it, who will return value received for the money paid by our citizens. 1 u referring to Sec. 212 it will be >en that it reads as follows: “In cast 1 of any failure on the part of the Americus Gas Light Company, its associates, successors or assigns to furnish gits to the public as well as private consumers, other than providential, the said Gas Light Company, its successors or assigns shall pay tlie'city of Americus tlie aum of ($11 one dollar for each gas lantern and (50c) |tifty cents for each gasoline lantern or light it fails to llj^lit for each aud evey night of such failure.” What is tlie company due the city for fulling to comply with their part of the contract last night? and what do they owe tlie private consumers for the trouble, time and expense they have been caused by their failure to furnish lights? The amount paid by the city to the company is about five thousand dollars annually, which we think is a sulllcient amount to guarantee good lights.' Tlie coutract has not been ful filled. therefore is null and void. Let our city fathers, if they cau't do better, return to the old method of lighting the city, then we will know wliat to expect, and will uot ask for more. A COLORED COLLEGE. Americus, through a committee of her'oolored citizens, lias msdc application for the colored college which is to be supported by tlie ap propriation from the government INDIAN NEWS. While from tlie Fine Ridge Res ervation in Sou tli Dakota advices are favorable as showing au in creasing disposition on tlie part of the Indians to submit, and while apprehensions of immediate out break at the Fort Hall Reservation near Pokatelln, Idaho, have proved bastless, intelligence from North Dakota, Wisconsin, Nevada and Oregon shows general aud threat ening uneasiness nun,ug tlie Indi ans in those Ratos. The “ghost dances” are spreading, and it is apparent that a sharp lesson from the troops iu .South Dakota will lie requisite to prevent further out breaks of the great conspiracy. It is becoming clear that General Miles is correct in his opinion that tlie conflict was precipitated by the deatli of'.Sittiug Bull In advance of the time tixed by the plotter# for a general Indian war. It is probable that but for this premature conflict the Government would have been called upon to suddenly cope with even greater difficulties than it has now to face. It i# believed at Flue Bidge that the Indians iu the great camp of the hostiles ate quarreling among themselves. If so, the work of dtlvlng them into a cul de sac, by drawing closer the military cordon around them, may prove easier of accomplishment than has of late seemed likely. Largely superior force is commonly essential to the success of such an operation. But the possessiou of light field artil lery by tlie troops, while the Indi ans have none, may diminish tiie hazard of tlie movement in tlie present instance. To the Kail tiring. Over one hundred columns of voluntary certificates have been printed iu tlie Atlanta Journal from such people as l!ev. J. B. Haw thorne, Itev. Sam F. Jones, Hon. H. W. Grady, MaJ. Ohas. W. Hub- ner, late of the "Christian Index,” Gen. James Longstreet, Col. W. Avery, late editor Ailanta “Consti- tlon,” ami hundreds of prominent divines, editors, doctors, specialists aud others, certifying to reniukabie cures performed by Dr. King’s Roy al Germatuer, after eminent physl- tlnus and ail know n remedies had fulled. Seud two-cent stump to King’s Royal Germatuer Co., At lanta, Ua., for hook of particulars. It is truly a great remedy, aud urely cures when all else fails RAILROAD RUMBLINGS- LA« YKKS. No more Federal Departments, If you please. The Cabinet Is large enough already—quite too large of the present sort. A Secretary of Commerce would only interfere with Code Jerry’s prerogative to be “a tiling of beauty aud u joy”— happily not “forever.” but only until March, '03. Agent Maxwell says that the Central is getting all the freight site can handle, and everybody down there is kept hustling. If men like Mr. Maxwell and Assist ant Oshuru can't make tilings move nobody can. There was a small wreck near Montezuma on tlie Central road yesterday, which caused a delay In tlie passenger train' from Macon due here at oue. The wreck was caused by several ears of a freight jumping tlie track. Mr. J. A. Ausley, who recently accepted tlie position of stenogra pher at the Ceutral. is one of the best for Ills age to be found. He writes short hand rapidly, and knows all about a type writer. He uses a Yost machine, and has a re cord of 114 words to a minute. Owing to the great amount of communication between the 8. A. M. and Ceutral roads, a wire will be put up and hereafter their com munications will he passed by tele graph. A joint meeting of tlie orders of Locomotive Engineers and Rail way Conductors was recently heh here, and several matters of impor tauce to both settled. E A HAWKINS. I TTOR.VEY AT L . ' .

Whojhavc taken Hood's 8arsaparil la what they think of it, uud tlie re plieB will be positive in its favor.One has been cured of indigestion ami dyspepsia, another finds it jndensa- blo for sick headache, others report report remarkable cures of scrofula, salt rheum, ele. Truly, the best advertising which Hood’s Sarsapa rilla receives is the hearty endorse ment of its army of friends. Thesaleof tlie pictures of tlie great Borghese family, of Rome, is announced, and it will be the most important art event of tlie closing decade of tlie century. It is likely to eclipse even tlie celebrated San Donato sale. Borne of the most val uable old masters iu tlie world will he offered ou this occasion, aud collectors the world over will he iu a fever of avaricious excitement over the affair. “It may surprise you tor me to say that Mr. Calhoun stands as fully committed to every inch of our platform ua the most zealous advocate of alliance principles in our organization. He urges and earnestly demands tlie control of all railroad corporations by wisely ananged laws rigidly enforced by railroad commissioners, both state aud iuter-state. He lias the ahility to discern the true relations exist ing lietweeu those corporations, i heir interests, and I he interest of the pe..ple. Ho sees clearly tlie Inter-dependent interests of both parties, aud desires absolute justice to both. He recognizes tlie fact that tlio railroads are tlie creatures of tlie people and should therefore naturuily lie controlled by the peo pie through just and proper legis latlon, to tlie end that tlie interests of both may be wisely fostered. Our interests parallel each other at more points than one, and lie Inis tlie intelligence to compreliuiitl the fuel, and tlie wisdom uud love of justice to demand proper protection in tlie rights of both. lie urges it is more to tlie Interests of tlie railroads to liave a low rate of in terest than to tlie fat liters, because they borrow ;norc money annually titan ail thtf farmers ift together. Here we meet nipt spould co oper ate oil tiffs pt,,i-p'e of tlie sub- treasury hiii, A ... -sin we meet outlie dem ,i.T - r *»i ...ore money. File contraction currency lias caused a shrinkage in the value of the stock and bonds of some of roads greater than the entire value of our cotton crop for oue yoar. Then it is natural that they * 'ouitl lie desirous of joining us on this proposition of tlie sub-treasury plan. By tills combination we should gain both the moral and voting strength of those large cor porations. a llexilde currency in addition to a stated volume of greenbacks, gold and silver, would on as much to their interest as ours; therefore they are ready to join us ill this demand. Can an injurious monopolistic corporation build or exist ou this foundation ? It would be absurd to say so. The prosper ity ot tlio roads is absolutely de pendent upon tlie prosperity of the people. They are therefore our natural allies when properly con trolled by just and wise comtnis- sious. The Olive bill was framed by one corporation out of the state to injure another that existed largely iu this state. It was au'un just measure and would have brought evil to the whole state. Mr. Calhoun’s opposition to that measure tens just. But you say that he is au attorney fora railroad. What attoruey lias ever refused a good fee from suchclients? Would you condemn an attorney because he defended a murderer?” Gov. Northen will soon appoint lilt- trustees who will liave ltie locating of tliia college. Now is ihe proper lime for Americas to take action on this lhattcr. As Tilt: RecoRIiek under stands it, the laud for a colored school has already been bought by the Coluuihus-Americus Institute, aud it is proposed to combine the two schools, or colleges. Americas i# situated iu the very heart of the great cotton region of this state, nnil would lie iu easy reach of tlie great majority of tlio colored youths who would take ad vantage of tiffs college. Tins city lias every advantage, and Is the proper place for its location on ac count of its desirability, the large colored population in null near tlie city, and It would hen success from the beginning,if located here. Americus should lie represented by a strong committee before the trustees wheu time for locating tlie school is decided upon. GLEVELAND MAY COME. Tlio Albany News of yesterday publishes a telegram fronPDr. Dun telling of u visit to Mr. C’leve laud by himself and Mr. James Bwauu, of the West Point Terminal company, in the interest of the sorgia Chautauqua. Mr. Cleveland received them courteously, and promised to give their invitation to attend tlie Chau tauqua ills close attention, and If possible lie would accept. From tlie telegram and tlie ex planatory remarks of the News, The Recorder would judge that tlie chances of Mr. Cleveland's at tending the assembly were very good, and we sincerity hope that he may find it possible to avail himself of tills opportunity to visit Georgia, and this portion of it par ticularly, eveu though Americus doe# not receive a visit from him. If Mr. Cleveland does dicido to visit tlie Chautauqua, The Re corder will guarantee Albany a big delegation on that day to listen to tins foremost Democrat in the States. Advice to Mot hern. Mrs. Winslow’s Southing Syr- tll* should always be UHt-d for chii- dieu teething. It soothes tfie child, softens tlie gums, aliiiys all pain, cures wind colic, and is tlie beet remedy foi diarrhu-a. Twenty-five cents per bottle Cau you tell us why Americus is like unto Moses, the Prophet? Be cause the city is in the cellar- lights out. State slealiug as a political art is being zealously pursued by Repub lican conspirators in numerous states. How long will the people endure this sort of tiling? And how long will it take for indignant vn- ters to drive tlie Republican party out of existence, If it be continued? A strong effort would bring the colored college to Americus, and steps should Vie taken at once in re- Kurd to securing it. This section lias been left out in tlie cold long enough. I think it a pity if any one who suffers from a blood disease does not know that Dr. Bull's Sarsapa rilla will make them sound and well. It cured mo after I thought Illy ease Incurable. it. I,. Thomas, Norfolk, Va. A Georgia editor lias disco vest'd that Noah advertised hi* ark uud its accommodations before tlie flood. This should lie a warning to business men to advertise. Notwithstanding our gas, street railroad and electric light, trouble, Americus continues to grow. She is net to be retarded by any kind of trouble. It is cruel to neglect symtoms of worms in a child. Many cases of epileptic fits- can be traced to this source. You do your duty when you give it Dr. Bull’s Worm De stroyers. It wlil save the child. Senator Ingalls is making a big bid for tlie Alliance vote in tlie legislature in Kansas, but lie will hardly he as fortunate as was Gen. Gordon. True Sympathy. When one is afflicted with any form of blood disease, lie certainly appreciates true sympathy. It should lie remembered, however, that true sympathy does not con sist in saying, “I am sorry for you," but the sympathy must lie shown in a materiel way. Either get or recommend a remedy i hat will cuj-e. l’liis is true sympathy. When the fair skin is distigured by blotches aud the complexion blem ished by pimples, when unyielding sores, bolls and carbuncles break out on the person, when the blood impurities impair the digestive functions, when the urinary organ show signs of decay, when the lungs grow weak and the whole system feels achy and feeble, wheu the appetite fails, when life seems a burden uud existence painful, then toll he truo sympathy to re commend to the sufferer a use of Dr. John Bull's Sarsaparilla, for just so sure as daylight follows darkness, will this remedy rid him of liis nlHctlons and restore him to sound, robust enjoyable health.— Manchester News AT on> A win WALLACE- r I. v W America TffiRNF.Y Al HIXON.

Now that money la so plentiful, and "couflfleiico” is restored, will not some or our capitalists buy out the electric platlt and reap a for tune? Good for Burnter. Mr. D. Suggs raised ou his place near Americus in this county thirty pounds ot cnllard seed which he sold to the Davenport Drug Com pany. The seed were as good os any that can be bought, uud scores another for Sumter above compe tition. Tlte company buying say tiiat tlie seed are up to tlie best standard, and that they w ill take as many like them as they can get. Kvory day fresh instances come to light of the superiority of tiffs grand old county of ours, and again the question arises, who would live elsewhere hut Iu Georgia. Justin McCarthy’s explicit con tradiction seemingly disposes or the allegation that lie had informed Mr. Gladstone of Iho contents of the Parnell mauiftsto in advance of its publication. Mr. McCarthy’s declaration that lie spoke of the ex istence of tlie manifesto, hut net of its purport or tenor, aglets exactly witli tlie testimony of the Kuglish Liberal leader. No other preparation combines tlie positive economy, the peculiar merit aud the medicinal power of Hood’s Sarsaparilla. King Cotton will have a fine, large time iu Augusta the next few days. The Davenport Drug Company have made a large purchase of W. W.' C., Wooldridge’s Wonderful Cure, the greatest Blood Purifier and family medicine now ou the market, for the purpose of supply. W, L.
