Araericus, Ga., April 17, 1891.
Ameiicus is the natural metropolis of
Southwest Georgia ami nothing can ob
struct the growth which will soon give
it the largest population of any city in
this section.
The failure of Mr. II. Odom. of
Leesburg, on Thursday, now causes

It was a pleasure the other day to note | |,0 ' vcrt0<,H (Jeor R ia a K reat <loal of only the good of the order ami the pro-
I)ii. Shelve, the well-known college
president, declares that at the present
rate of progress the women of the coun

be better educated than the men.
Women voted in the Kansas municipal
election Tuesday, and in Kansas City,
one of them was arrested for being
drunk and disorderly at the polls. Is
this to he one of the results of female
suffrage ?
When a two pound lire wants to make
himself conspicuous, he harks vocife
rously at the heeds of the majestic now-
fouiallai'd. This is why Tom Watson is
making such an uproar down in tiie
tentli district of Georgia.
Germany, with all of her boasted
military strength and war equipment,
manifests no little nervousness at the
ominous massing of solid battalions o
Russian troops on the German frotier
Russia is rather a dangerous neighbor.
If Judge Crisp’s friends can induce a
few more cranks and Mock-wads, like
Kditor Jones of St, Louis and Congr
man Watson of the tenth, to attack his
record, his majority will be on parity
with that of the Democracy in the next
House.
Can’t somebody induce Congressman
Watson to complete his folly by impal
ing himself upon the point of Judge
Crisp’s lance in a joint discussion of the
tariff question, about which Judge
knows so much and Tommy so very,
very little?
It iias been over a week since General
Alexander was reported by the railroad
newspapers to havo resigned in favor of
Hugh Inman. Do theso papers propose
to let the Central railroad people run
that road without their help as long as a
week at a time?
Carter Harrison shows his lack of
knowledge of the elections of the South
when ho attempted to compare the
frauds in Chicago with a Southern elec
tion. The elections in the South are
strictly honest when compared with
those in some of the Northern States.
New Orleans Delta publishes cor
respondence to show that the three Ital
ians, Truslilna, llagnetto and Marches!,
who among the lynched murderers at
New Orleans are claimed as Italian sub
jects, were bandits who could not re
main in their own country, and that
they lived in New Orleans under assumed
names.
Wholly apart from the merits of the
McKee-Wimpee poisoning case just end
ed in Romo by tho acquittal of Mrs.
McKee, It may be remarked that the ver
diet iu that ease is just what might be
expected whenever a pretty woman is
put on trial. “Not guilty, If she Is good
J >oking” is the unanimous opinion of
the average American citizen.
It is now ovident that last year's cot
ten crop will prove to be nearly a million
bales in oxcosb of the la t previous crop,
and that a large surplus will go over for
next year’s consumption. In view of
these facts it is fortunate for the south
that this year’s crop will evidently be
much smaller, so that a still furtlior re
duction in price uced not he appre-
Siended.

seems to be having a great deal domestic
affliction of late. His youngest daughter
is a widow after only ten days marriage
to Count Lewenhaupt, a Swedish noble
man, who wm married on April 2nd and
died Monday last. This is an especially
sad case, as Count Lewenhaupt appeals
to have been one of the few foreigners
of title who marry American girls that
are really gentlemen.
Tiie April report of the department of
agriculture, states that the general aver
age condition of winter wheat is 00.1),
the highest average reported for April
f-since 1882. It is true, as the report adds,

this early stage does not Insure a large
yield, though there Is nothing iu sight

Times and Recorder. With ('apt. Myrick
and Major Glessner at the helm the
success of our morning contemporary is
assured. We are glad to see that the
water war is over. We’ve had plenty of
rain of late, and hope the consolidation
is a forerunner of good weather.—Macon
County Citizen.
The two bright dailies of Americas
that have undergone a “drouth” for
some time have consolidated under the
head of Times Recoiiheu, Editor Gless
ner, of the Recorder, retiring. The
press loses a valuable member in Mr.
Glessuer’s retirement, hut we wil
sole ourselves on the fact that he has
not retired from Georgia, and Sumter
county should congratulate herself upon
having such an enterprising man for a
citizen.—Fort Gaines Chronicle.
Sunday morning wo received the lirst
issue of The Amehhts Timks-Rkcord-
eu in its consolidated form. This I
was gotten up hurriedly and was of
course imperfect, hut the management
assures the public that it will issue a
first-class paper when the business and
new management has been tlioroughly
organized. We welcome the paper hack
to this olli je, and hope the editors will
hereafter have plenty of water and not
be forced to take something else.—Ma
rion County Patriot.
The Times-Rkcorher, of Americas,
made its appearance Sunday. It was
the first paper from Ameiicus we had
seen in three weeks. The paper is own
ed by Americas, almost every business
and professional man in the city owning
stock in it. Mr. Bascom Myrick is busi
ness and editorial manager. Connected
with him are Messrs. II. A. Chapman
and J. \V. Furlow. Mr. A. S. Harper
will he city and news editor. Major W.

It is a strong team and will give the peo

The Amkrhth Timks-Re< order made
its appearance last Sunday for tho lirst
time. It is the result of the combina
tion of the Times and the Recordei. It
is a creditable paper now, though it is
announced that the paper is not what it
will he as soon as tho necessary arrange
ments can be made. It will take the
press dispatches and have ablo corps of
correspondents. Mr. Bascom Myrick,
who was editor of the Times, has been
elected editor atid business manager;
Mr. II. A. Chapman, late of the Calhoun
Times, Mr. J. W, Furlow, an old Ameri
cas hoy, and Mr. A. S. Harper, formerly
of the Recorder, aro also on the editorial

It is safe to say that nine-tenths of the
opposition to the Alliance in Georgia,
from whatever source it may come and of I Hioii art will have an opportunity to
whatever kind, is based solely upon the i to hike * practical step in making new
personal unpopularity of Col. Livingston, j designs for the standard dollar, the half

ings towards the farmers, and look with j under the call issued last week by tho
JUDGE crisp and the tariff.
Perhaps there has never been a great
er waste of ink and paper than that in
dulged in by several papers in defending
Judge Crisp’s tariff record.
Nobody but the Judge’s political op
ponents, supplemented by crank Jones
and little Tommy Watson, have had the
temerity to assail the Gibraltar of his
political record; and why anybody
■ lould consider it necessary to defend
the Judge against such partisan and
asinine attacks is a mystery to The
Timkh-Rkcordkh.
Judge Crisp goes to Kansas City to
day not to defend his own record, but to
promote the cause of tariff reform iu
the strongholds of protection.
Inasmuch as The Timks-Rkcord eh is
published at Judge Crisp’s home, aud
has persistently advocated his candidacy
for the speakership, it might be regard
ed as an evidence of lukewarmness that
The Times-Rkcorher does not now'
raise a war w hoop and rush to the res
cue of its candidate. The truth is, no
such demonstration is justified by the
facts, nor needed to defend that which
is unassailable.
Such attacks as have been made so
far only display the partizansliip or im
becility, or both, of those who make
them, and don’t deserve to he treated
with the dignity of a serious reply.
The Times-Rkcorher has never waiv-
ured in its belief that the calling and
election of Judge Crisp is assured, and
such futile assaults as arc being made
on his record serve only to emphasize
the eniincut qualifications which his
character and record give him for the
Speaker of the House of Representa
tives.

The Slate encampment Grand Army of
the Republic at Indianapolis has denounced
Dr. Wyeth’s article In the Century Magazine
ah a “false and Infamous llt»el on the milita
ry honor aud civil Integrity of the state,”
and appointed a committee of five to pre
pare eyidence to break the force of It. That
committee has a tough pcice of work cut out
for 't —Jacksonville Ilnies-Unlon.
Dr. Wyeth was a Confederate prisoner,
and at the request of the Century Maga
zine he gave his personal experiences in
a Northern prison. Tho truth hurts;
and the fact well known to thousands
of Southern soldiers that Andersonville
was a haven of rest compared to John
son’s Island, Camp Chase, and other
Northern prisons, now first officially
brought before Northern readers causes
a terrible howl to go up from people
who weren’t there and knew’ nothing
about it. Let the Century stick to the
text and bring out all the facts. Histo

encouragement upon their attempts to
ameliorate their condition by w isely con
trolling legislation; hut the same public
believes that tho Alliance lias seriously
hampered its usefulness iu its selection
of an executive head.
It is well know n that nothing but the
most urgent appeals and active work,
and the danger to the Democratic ma
jority in the next House by the election
of Haight in the Fifth district, saved
Livingston from defeat; and if the voters
could have seen what tnargiu they wore
destined to have in the Democratic
House, Col. Livingston would have been
the worst snowed under man who ever
ran for office in Georgia.
Hundreds, both in the Alliance and
out of it,voted for him under protest,be
cause lie was the nominee, and the
question of .»iliance or non-AUiance
was never taken into consideration
then, and is not now.
Any attempt by Col. Livingston’s
friends to make it appear that the oppo
sition to him in Georgia arises from op- j
position to tiie Alliance is unjust and
unfair, and is merely a clap-trap to rally
the Alliance around Ids standard.
Col. Livingston is not the Alliance, |
director of the mint. Each accepted de
sign may receive a reward of $500, be
sides the honor of that enormous circu
lation and at least brief contemplation
of one’s works that falls to those whose
skill is expended on coin or paper cur
rency. That some of the designers prize
this reputation is indicated by an initial
letter unobtrusively worked in on both
sides of the silver dollar, and by three
initials on the twenty dollar gold piece.
It is only the silver pieces, by the way,
that are now to bo beautified in design,
if the skill of the artists and the good
taste of those who pass judgment will
permit. The chief need of improve
ment in the gold coins was that of with
drawing the diminutive dollar, so easy
to lose or mistake; and that lias been
done by the Fifty-first Congress. Ic is
hoped to procure for tho silver pieces
eagles that conform to tho accepted
facts of natural history and possibly
a liberty that will be an improvement
on the present emblem.

II aiirison’s fear of the Grand Army
of the Republic and its vote in the next
convention and elections, is the only
thing that deters him from demanding
the resignation of Gon’l Rosecrans as
register of the treasury. The general is
as good a Democrat as he w’as a soldier;
and being appointed by Cleveland still
bolds over, much to the disgust of the
president and the chagrin of the Repub
lican aspirants. Should he be forced
out, such a howl would be raised by
the old soldier element as would effec
tually fix tho fate of the’administration.
Yet the threats are both loud and deep
from good Republicans vjho want the
office Rosecrans so safely holds, that
they will make trouble if the president
don’t provide for them, and between the
politicians who w.ant the soft berth and
the soldiers who insist that Rosecrans

a quandary from which the general re
fuses to deliver him by resigning. Let

Eilitor Crawford lived in Atlanta long
enough to acquire the habit of claiming
the earth, which ho is now exercising,
as will appear from tho above paragraph,
in a way that can’t stand tho teat of the
facts. While Americas recognizes the
full merits of her rivals she can’t admit
that Athens is as far ahead as Editor
Crawford claims. A comparison item
by item of the developments of tho past
year, will bo so much to tho advantage
of Ameiicus that Editor Crawford is
challenged to point out the supeiiority
which ho claims. While Athens may
have excelled in some particulars, Amer
lcus has the advantage in others, and the
general average is not enough in favor
of Athens to warrant her claiming more
than fifteen minutes in the week the ad
vantage instead of seven days.
Simultaneously with the sailing of
Baron Fara, the Italian minister, from
New York yesterday, comes the rumor
that Minister Porter is to be expelled
from Italy, because Secretary Rlaine
has not yet answered Rudini’s last note,
touching the Mafia affair. While the
opinion seems general that Italy is
merely bluffing, stranger things have
happened than that the Italian navy may
steam into New York harbor and call
for some such indemnity as $100,000,000,
a sum that would have to be paid in-
stanter at the point of the destruction of
tiie city. In spite of General Kell’s as
sertion we have a good navy, there are
so many thousands of miles of exposed
and defenceless seacoast from Portland
to Galveston that were our navy ten
times its present size we could scarcely
hope to be safe from a levying of tribute
by Italy or any other European nation
with such navies as several of them have.

CRISP SAFE.

Hon. Charles F. Crisp,of Georgia, fn Con-
2ri**H,on May 9,1S90, him to be per
fectly sound on tariff reform hiiU all demo
cratic m* asures. We pee no reason why Al
liance members should not suoport him for
Speaker.—Southern Alliance Farmer.
Whatever may be the differences ,of
opinion between Editor Gantt and some
of his Georgia brethren of the press,
there is the right sort of harmony on the
question of the fitness of Judge Crisp
for the speakership. The organ of the
Alliance having spoken thus favorably,
it is now in order for little Tommie Wat
son to reconsider, and save the country
by voting for Judge Crisp.
As it is well understood by the friends
of Judge Crisp that Tommie’s opposi
tion will insure his defeat, the most
strenuous efforts are being made* to con
ciliate the little giant, and The Times-
Recohrek has it semi-officially that the
basis of compromise is that Judge
Crisp will agree to back Tommie up in
his endeavor to pass a national dog law,
in consideration of Tommie’s permission
for the Judge to be elected-speakcr. In
such event it is understood that Judge
Crisp being in the chair, every time
Tommie gets up on his hind legs and
howls, the speaker will recognize him,
if the whole “dog-gone” country goes to
the demnition “bow-wows.”
However rigid the speaker may be to
wards others, be will agree never to
take the “bark” off little Tommie in his
rulings. Thus the war cloud passes
over and peace is assured.
A SAD SIGHT.
One of the most pitiful spectacles was
itnessed at the Barge Offico in New
York on Monday.
One hundred and fifty-three steerage
passengers landed, rescued from tho sea
whan tho Utopia went down. They
were a motley, forlorn and broken heart
ed company. The very clothing that
covered them was donated in Gibralta,
and as for their luggage, tjiey had none,
for their bags, boxes and truuks are at
tho bottom of the ocean.
It was not so much their poverty,
though, that rendered the scene pathetic.
They were the mere remnants of once
happy and hopeful families. There
were fathers who had lost their wives,
wives who had lost their husbands,
children without cither parent and pa
rents without children. In one instance
a father and his son were all that was
left out of a family of eight. In another,
a fine little fellow of nine had lost not
only father and mother, but all of his
brothers and sisters.
When the panic stricken crowd found
themselves in the water they clung to
whatever came handy and were power
less to help each other. The boats
picked up this man and that woman,
this wife and that husband, did all that
brave sailors could to save everyone, but
when the roll was called there
hardly a group without a break.
When told that they had better retu n
to Italy they shook their heads. Their
homes were broken up, they had no
money, their relatives were in tho sea,
and they preferred to face life in this
now country.
In its card yesterday nominating Mr.
I). C. X. Burkhaltcr for the presidency
of the Farmers’ Alliance, a typographic
al error made The Timks-Rkcohdkh say
that the gentleman was not a “confeder
ate,” when it should have read “not a
candidate.” An unintentional injustice
was done Mr. Burkhaltcr; for all confed
erates are proud of their war record,
and none more justly so than this gen-
t’eman, who is one of tho few men left
who aro under no personal obligations
to Governor Xorthen by reason of hold
ing a Colonel’s commission on his Ex
excellency’s staff. All that The Times-
Recorder regrets is that its nomination
is not equivalent to an election.
The Atlanta newspapers don’t have to
spend mucli to buy the average dally and the

Have the newspapers outside of tbo Gale
City lost their Independence and self re
spect ?—Trl bune-of- Home.
Simply because the Trlbune-of-Rome
is always opposed to tho Atlanta news
papers is no reason that it should charge
all the other papers in the State which
agree with them of being bought by a
“stick of taffy.” Atlanta has two good
daily papers, and tho editors of Georgia
recognize that fact, as well as the people.
