Writing to bis Kansas Farmer at To

farmers’ movement in the south will cer
tainly overthrow the Democratic party.
Ani> now silver is going to England
under orders for purchase. This does
not correspond with Mr. Sherman’s
prophecy that America would be the

There is evideutly a miscalculation
somewhere.
Rutherford B. Hayes has so fallen
into obscurity that two men in Knox
ville actually got into a fight as to
whether he was alive or dead, the othei;
day. Such is fame! Ilis fraudulency of
1870 died a political death when he
took Tildcn’s seat.
The Republican committee, iu accept
ing the resignation of Quay, declares
that he is an honor to the Republican
party. Y’es, he honors the party by his
resignation, and the bosses seem
recognize the fact by connecting the
two ideas together.

Major R. N. Ely, formorly attorney
general of the state and a noted planter
of Southwest Georgia, lias been at
Albany. The major has for months
hung around the hotels and public re
sorts of the city presenting a sad illus

The refusal of O’Brien^and Dillon to
take part in the Parnell movement has
greatly discouraged the Parncllites, and
the chances are they will retire from the
field as a political party Charles Stew*

Lv compliance with the resolution by
Mr. Clifton of Chatham, lion. Pat Cal
houn will address the legislature next
Wednesday, August 12, upon the im-
tportnnce of improving, the river and

bo at 11:30 o’clock a. m. Capt. Carter
of the United States navy will probably
bo present on that occasion.
Tjie Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun, who is now traveling in
Europe, in a recent letter from London
suggests that It would bo an excellent
idea for the English exhibitors at the
world’s fair in Chicago to attach a tag
with the price of each article iu Eng
land above the price of the samo article
in the United States. The suggestion is
an excellent oue. The dilTereuco would
very practically and forcibly illustrate
the beauties of the McKinley ldgh tariff,
and demonstrate to the peoplo what
they are bedug robbed of by this iuiqul*
tous hill.
The Cincinnati Enquirer comes up
nobly to the support of Governor Camp
bell after this fashion: “The Stato con
vention arbitrated the disputes in the
Democratic party in Ohio. It rubs out
the lines which separate the sections.
It sets up the standard around which all
Democrats rally. The question of Gov
ernor Campbell’s availability is no longer
one for discussion in Democratic circles.
The convention has re-nominated the
governor and associated with him a
ticket individually and collectively
sound and commendable. It has set the
pace for all Democratic instrumental!
tios.”
Intimations have been given out in
Washington that President Harrison can
no longer carry the weight of Wanama-

the Keystone bank failuro and defalca

General’s resignation, with a view to ac
cepting it at an early date. It is now
said to bo in the executive clutches,

conclusion. That makes three reported,

££u. John Foster, of The Times-Re-
corder staff, who was a youthful mem
ber of the Burke County Sharp-
Shooters, Captain Holmes, in the
winter of 1800, participated in the first
actual warlike movement that opened
hostilities. The company of which ho
was a member, acting under Governor
Brown’s orders, seized the United States
arsenal at Augusta, and thus was a par
ty to the first overt act of war against
the United States. And in this connec
tion it Is a historical fact that Governor
Brown was really guilty of treason in
having seized the Augusta arsenal in ad
vance of the secession of Georgia.
an encouraging outlook.
The leading capitalists and bankers of
New Y'ork take a very encouraging view
of our prospects this fall.
President J. Edward Simmons, of the
Fourth National bank, says that with
short crops in Europe and large crops
here he cannot see any reason why we
should not expect a general improve
ment in our financial and commercial
condition.
President H. VY. Cannon, of the Chase
National bank, takes the same position.
He says:
“We have, during the spring and sum
mer, been dealing with Europe on a cash
basis. <*nd we must continue to do so for
some time to come. Fortunately the
condition of affairs is such that they in
turn must deal with us on tne same
basis, and they will be compelled to
make heavy remittances in gold in pay
ment for our grain and produce, which
is now moving. This will be of great
assistance to the business interests of
the country, add undoubtedly do much
to restore coufideuce in business cir
cles.”
Charles Ii. Flint, of Flint tfc Co., ship
owners and commission merchants, says:
“It seems to me that a good commer
cial year in the United States is assured.
It is possible that there may be an im
provement in Wall street during the
coming fall, brought about by the in
creased earnings of railroads in moving
the large crops and merchandise in ex
change from the manufacturing centers,
but the general financial condition in
Europe is likely to be such as to discour
age speculation, so that we may realize
what has been predicted by a prominent
financial writer—‘dead speculation with
live industry.’ ”
Mr. John II. Inman is quoted as fol
lows:
“The south has already made a large
crop of wheat and corn in its grain-grow-
sections. The cotton crop promises
to bo large, but the Indications are that
it will be somewhat slow in moving, for
two reasons. First, because the season
is some ton days later than usual; and
second, because the price is so low that
the planters will not bring to market
rapidly. At a satisfactory price a plant
er would bring in twenty bales of his
first picking, while at a lower price ho
would probably bring in ten bales to get
ready money and hold the balance until
later.
This, with the low price per bale
which it now takes to move cotton, will
require much less money to secure the
movements of the cotton crop during
the fall months than would otherwise
be the case. This largo crop, however,
is of course good for the railroads, as
they will have a large tonnage regardless
of price.”
The New' York World fills three
columns with similar expressions of
opinion, all pointing to a general revival
of business and easier times this fall and
winter.
JUDGE DICKSON OF NEWTON.
Notwithstanding tko fight made on
Governor Nortlien’s appointment of
Capers Dickson to the judgeship of Now-
tou county court,he was confirmed by a
most decisive vote. This was ns it
should have been. Apart from the em
inent fitness of Judge Dickson, which
would of itself have sufficed to satisfy
the minds of the senate of tho propriety
of tho appointment, it was conclusively
shown that whatever be tho prejudice
against our worthy govornor In some
questions, ho is given credit even by his
opponents for consciontously discharg
ing the duties of his high office, and
seeking to do the very best ho can for
the people of the state In tho appoint
ment he n akes. Ho has acted- in all
cases with great caution and delibera
tion, and has probably made as few mis
takes as any governor who preceded
him.
If Governor Nortlien never docs worse
than to appoint such men as Capers
Dickson to office, his official record will
be one of which he may well be proud.
It is a common thing for some preach
ers to make “a few remarks in tho form
of prayer,” but Rev. Mr. Stevenson of
Waterloo, Iowa, seems to have beaten
the record on Sunday when he assaulted
the throne of grace. He began by thank
ing tho Lord for the action of Governor
Merrlam of Minnesota in preventing tho
Ilall-Fitsimmon prize fight, and lie pray
ed for strength for the governor of Ten
nessee in adjusting the mining troubles,
after which ho said, apologetically:
“But this may be politics, and, O Lord,
if thou dost not know anything about
politics, make the politicians pray
themselves.” Naturally enough the gag
brought dow n the house and the ap
plause of the more devout brethren w’as
long and loud. Probably Mr. Stevenson
will take the stump for the Republican
party this fall.
THIS FALL’S ELECTIONS.
Tjie following states will hold elec
tions on the 3d of November next:
Virginia will elect one-half its senate
and a full house of delegates.
Iowa and Massachusetts will elect a
governor and other state officers and
legislature.
Mississippi will elect three railroad
commissioners and legislature.
Nebraska will elect associate justice of
the supreme court and two regents of
the state university.
New Jersey will filect part of the
senate and the assembly.
Ohio will elect governor and other
state officers and legislature, and vote
upon a proposed amendment to the con
stitution providing for uniformity of
taxation.
Pennsylvania will elect treasurer and
auditor general, and vote whether a con
stitutional convention shall be held, and
elect delegates to the same.
New' Y'ork will elect governor, lieuten
ant governor, secretary of state, con
troller, treasurer, attorney general, en
gineer and smveyor, the senate, the

court, and a representative iu congress
from the tenth district.
Maryland, November 3, will elect gov
ernor and other state officers and legis
lature, and vote upon six proposed
amendments to the constitution of the
state. The first empowers tho governor
to disapprove separate items in appro
priation bills; the second restricts the
exemption of corporations from taxa
tion; tho third provides for uniformity
of taxation; the fourth relates to the
election of county commissioners; the
fifth authorizes the sale of the state’s in
terest in all works of internal improve
ment, and the sixth empowers the legis
lature to piovide for the taxavion of
mortgages, if such taxation is imposed
in the county or city where tho mort
gaged property is situated.
In .addition to tho above, Kentucky
will, on August 3, elect governor and
otber stato officers and legislature, and
voto upon the constitution framed by
the convention which was elected Au
gust 4, 1800.
Texas, on August 11, will vote upon
five proposed amendments to tho con
stitution of the state. The first pro
vides for the registration of voters in
towns of 10,000 population and over,
the second relatos to the maintenance
of the common schools, the third fixes
the maximum rate of interest at 10 per
cent, and in contracts where no rate is
specified at 0 per cent; the fourth ro
tates to local option, and the fifth pro
vides for establishing two or more civil
courts of appeal.
A RAD MOVE.
It does not look well for the Richmond
& Danville railroad company to be
scrambling for every cent of cash they
can lay their hands on in the way of the
receipts of the Central road, and having
it expressed to Washington, when the
bulk of the money taken from Georgia
will have to be paid out here again in a
short while.
At this season of the year currency
begins to move south to pay for cotton,
and the fact that bank drafts on the east
are not to be accepted by the Rich
mond & Danville railroad company looks
like they are more anxious to take the
actual currency out of the country than
to collect their revenues.
That is one of the evils of having
headquarters so far away from home,
and is a strong argument in favor of our
merchants sticking to the lines that are
more willing to reciprocate than the It.

CLEVELAND’S CANDIDACY.
Tho Now Y'ork Sun having sarcasti
cally advised Mr. Cleveland to test his
popularity in New Y'ork by trying to
secure tho gubernatorial nomination, the
Constitution endorses the suggestion,
and urges him at some length to put
himself before the people of his stato in
order to secure that endorsement, which
would, if obtained, insure bis nomina
tion for the presidency a year later.
Mr. Cleveland claims that New Y'ork
is not in favor of the free coinage of
silver, upon which tho Democracy else
where is practically solid; and tho Consti
tution thinks this the best of opportuni
ties for demonstrating tho real views of
his home people.
The Timks-Recordkr does not be-
licvo that Mr. Cleveland wapts the nomi
nation on any such terms; ho will accept
it unsolictcd, and on his own terms; but
lie will never concede one iota of his
views on silver or any other subject to
secure even the presidency. Unless
therefore the silver question is disposed
of by the next session of Congress, so
that no longer it will bo an issuo when
the National Democratic Convention
meets next year, Mr. Cleveland’s namo
will not, with his consent, go before tho
convention.

Edward McIntyre, Comptroller.
Tho Central's receipts have a'ways
been remitted to the Central railroad
bank at Savannah, and the checks for
operating expenses have been drawn up
on the hank here, or the money direct,
for the payment of the employes in Sa
vannah.
Tho new order will make quite a dif■
fcience In the amount of business done
by tho Central railroad bajk. The
agents of Savannah have been accus-
tomed to deposit their cash with the
bank daily.
Whether the Richmond it Danville
is in immediate need of the money, or
what reasons there may he for the order,
it was impossible to learn.
That was an interesting scene in the
house Thursday when Mrs. Felton was
admitted to the floor. It was a scene
which those who were there will not for
get. For the first time in tho history of
Georgia a woman was extended the priv
ileges of the house. All Georgia will
agreo that Mrs. Felton, of all women in
the state, was tho right one to receive
such honor.

While some of the Georgia editors
arc inquiring why the Atlanta herald
doesn't come, the latter journal is mak
ing a similar inquiry concerning its ed

Dit. Tiiamsi, of DusseldoriT, Germany,
lias issued a report which has caused
much pleasure among tho believers of
Dr. Koch's system of inoculation os a
cure for tuberculosis. Dr. Thamm says
that he has managed by the Koch sys
tem to bring about a complete cure in -10
per cent of the cases of tuberculosis
which ho has treated, and that satisfac
tory results havo occurred in 45 per
cent of othor cases which ho has treated
by tho samo system. Naturally the fol
lowers of Prof Koch are elated over this
roport, which, it is supposed, will do
much to strengthen the courage of
waverers.
BIG CROP AND LITTLE MONET.
It is a serious question with a great
many who observe the signs of the
times, if some disaster that would cut
off half tho growing cotton crop wouldn’t
prove a blessing to the planters and to
tho south in general.
•The very low price of cotton prevail
ing now is said to bo caused by tho fact
that ovor 1,000,000 hales of last year’s
enormous cotton crop is hold over, whilo
tho growing crop promises to he one of
the largest ever produced. Tho acreage
is great and tho seasons have been
propitious.
If pricos drop lower than they aro
now tlie crop from this year will not
pay the cost of production, and however
lino tho crops may bo the planters will
meet with disaster.
That is a blue picture which it is
hoped timo will improve. It is three
months yet before tho cotton picking
season will be under full headway, and
something may happen to improve tlie
market before then.
However,tho lesson of ovor-croppiug
is again very forcibly impressed upon
tlie Southern planter. With half tho
acreage devoted to cotton that was given
tlie staple this year, and the rest of land
planted in corn or other crops, the
planter would probably realizo as much
on his cotton as he will realize urder ex
isting conditions, and tho other crops
would havo boon a clear gain.
If tho lower price of cotton forces tlie
cotton planters to raiso their own food
products it will, in tho long run, prove a
blessing.
STATE BANKS.
A notable debate took place Wednes
day at Prosperity, S C., between
United States Senator SI. C. Butler and
President Stokes of the state Alliance,
in which the latter advocated the sub-
treasury bill as the remedy for the pres
ent insufficiency of the circulating medi
um, and opposed state banks.
Senator Butler was afraid of the con
centration of power in the secretary of
the treasury under the system of the
sub-treasury hill, and favored state
banks of issue as the better remedy.
The Times-Recobdeb is glad to see
such able statesmen as Senator Butler in
favor of state banks of issue, because
from that source it is confidently be
lieved that a partial if not a complete
solution of the financial question of the
day is to he obtained.
The issqp of money by state banks, un
der proper safeguards and restrictions,
is believed by The Times-Recohdeb to
bo the “something better” than the sub
treasury bill, which alliancemen profess
their willingness to accept; and it is an
encouraging sign to see that not only
statesmen like Senator Butler, hut jour
nals like the Atlanta Constitution, and
prominent bankers, favor tho trial of
state banks of issue as tlie very best so
lution of tho problem which is now occu
pying tho attention of all thinking men.
If tho convention of business mdn
which The Times-Recohdeb suggested
yesterday, should meet in Atlanta next
month, and do nothing but pass a
resolution favoring state hanks of issue,
and ask the Legislature to memorialize
Congress to repeal the ten per cent, tax
on state hank currency, a vast doal of
good would have been accomplished.
Just so long as our prominent busi
ness men keep quiet and endure tlie ills
of tlie present unnatural and unnecessa
ry stringency in money matters all
through the country, just so long will
congress refuse to pass any measures of
relief; and nothing hut a McKinley
bill ground swell against tho further per
petration of such injustico as the people
now endure, will convinco tlie powers
that he that a reform is really demanded
by the people.
BY THE YEAR.
The Georgia Legislature is settling
down for a session to last the halanco of
tlie year, judging from tho flood of bills
pouring in daily, very few of which are
worthy tho paper on which thoy aro
written.
Apart from reapportioning tho con
gressional districts of tho state at this
session, tlie Legislature might havo ad
journed finally and for good last Decom
her. Hasn’t somo legislator tho nerve
to riso in his place and give notice that
ho purposes to introduce daily after to
day a resolution of final adjournment?
Surely a majority of tho Georgia Legis
lative docs not favor an interminable
session; and such men should fight it
and urge prompt action and adjourn
ment.
The Scions at Atlanta seem to Imag-
Ine that their constituents want tho rail
roads bankrupted, hut they don't;
tho public simply want the Railroad
Commission lot alono to manage the ques
tions witii the fairness and skill that has
always heretofore characterized that
body.
The Alliance farmers are fooling with
dynamite in attempting to cornor the
wheat market. If thoy succeed in run
ning up the price, they will have tho
consumers down on them, and if they do
not succeed, the farmers themselves will
be in each other’s hair. Tho whoat
growers In tho west will probably do
foat tho Alliance schomo by managing
their own business and soiling their
wheat according to their own judgmont.

The Tiucs-Recordkk Is the very best
paper Americus has ever bud. The piopie
are to be congratulated.—Constitution.
The Tiues-Rbcobdeh appreciates this
compliment all the more because it
comes from the greatest newspaper in
the South, and ono that is getting better
every day. If thore are a half dozen
papers in the United States superior to
tlie Constitution, The Times-IIecobdeb
docs not know of their existence.
SOUTHWEST GEORGIA'S MAN
There seems to be grounds for sus
pecting that a fight will be made at tho
meeting of the Stato Agricultural Socie
ty in Atlanta August 12, to displace
President Waddell. Without taking
sides in tho controversy, The Times-
Recokdeb claims that in tlie event of a
change in the presidency, Southwest
Georgia is the proper Hold from which
to select President Waddell’s successor.
The reason for this is obvious. This
is tlie great agricultural section of the
state, and has long been overlooked in
the distribution of the offices of the so
ciety; indeed, sinco Alfred II. Colquitt
was president and hailed from this sec
tion, Southwest Georgia lias had none of
tlie honors of the society.
Among tlie names suggested to suc
ceed Col. Waddell, Tin: Times-Recob-
deh notes that of our fellow townsman
Capt. John A. Cobh, and no hotter se
lection could ho made for tho place. In
addition to tlie ripe experience and
largo knowledge of agricultural affairs
which would qualify Capt. Cobb so well
for liiling this position, there is tho ad
ditional desideratum that Capt Cobh is I
not a candidate, and if e'ected, would
givo a most faithful service to tlie socie
ty without undertaking to uso it as a
stepping stono to political preferment.
Without tho knowledge on tho part of
Capt. Cobh of the intention of The
Times-Recohdeb, ho is hereby named
as tho candidate of Southwest Georgia
for the presidency of tlie Slate Agricul
tural Society.
RECIPROCITY.
With cacli new reciprocity treaty Mr,
lilainc gets a fresh batcli of free adver
tising. It is nothing for the Republi
cans to brag about. If a little free trado
is sucn a good thing, why would not
more of it he still bettor ?
If reciprocity with a few nations is a
good thing, then reciprocity with them
all is better; and general reciprocity is
absolute freo trade.
Mr. Blaine is therefore squarely on tlio
lino of freo trado; and he is there be
cause he is smart enough to soe the drift
of popular sentiment against protection;
and he simply calls it “reciprocity" to
avoid wounding the sensibilities of those
protectionist manufacturers out of
whom tho Republican campaign fund
must bo “fried” noxt year.
The Pittsburg Post says: “The idea
of Mr. Charles A. Dana of tho New York
Sun, who knifed Cleveland in 1888, sup
ported Ben Butler as a Blaine annex in
1884, and knifed Hancock in 1880, hav
ing any just influence In determining
who shall bo tho Democratic candidate

A NEW SCB-TREASuRy PLAN
The Times-Recohdeb—Much has be
said and written on the sub-treasur*
idea, or plan as it is called; and manr
are the claims for it, and many the ob
jections to it. If we are to have i e „ is
lation on that subject, I have a sug”e s
tion to make that seems to me practic
able. The farmers are asking relief
from the government because they find
that their products are tho mere pl av .
things of monopolistic gamblers, who'
being comparatively fow in numbers
are easily combined together, and haw
ing most of the wealth of the country
can unlawfully control the price of f arm
products to suit their own caprices, and
it Is impossible for the oiganized and
scattered farmers to cope with them.
Now, government was originally j„.
stituted to protect the weak against the
strong, and to secure justice to all, and
the farmer in his dire extremity calls on
the government for that protection
which should be given all. He wants
the government's assistance to cope
with these cotton and wheat gamblers
who are in close alliance with the nni
nopolists who have accumulated vast
fortunes by reason of vicious class leg.
lation.
Hero is my plan. Let tho United
States government fix a minimum price
for tho non perishable products of the
farmer, and advance to him 80per cent,
of this price at a low rate of interest.
This price can be fixed by considering
tlie cost of production economically pro
duced—tho supply and demand, etc.
Take forexamplo cotton: let the govern
ment agreo to advance 8 cents per
pound on tho best grade of cotton. This
will keep tlie price above 8 cents, for if
a farmer can borrow 8 cents a pound
on his cotton, ho would not take less.
If tlie government should by this means
acquire the entire cotton crop or a con
trolling interest in it, It could maintain
the price by regulating the quantity to
be sold; and it could control the amount
of future production, by taxing on a
just basis all cotton produced in excess
of say 8,000,000 bales. This would then
prevent the smallest fluctuation in the
cotton market below cost of production,
and would give to agriculture a safe and
reliable price for its produce. Of course
tlie same rule would apply tc other arti
cles embraced in the sub-treasury plan.
On all these articles America has a prac
tical monopoly of tho world's supply,
considering their quality and grade.
As a means of distributing this money
and preventing the multiplication of
ofticors, it is suggested that the govern
ment could operate through the banks
already established, or to bo established.
Let the government solect a bank
banker at eacli piaco of purchaso, exact
ing of such a sufficient bond to protect
tho government. In othor words, make
eacli of such bonded hanks a sub-treas
ury, under ®ich rules and regulations as
will protect tlio people and tbo govern
ment.
It would not do for the government to
go to tlie enormous expense of building
warehouses anil grain elevators. Instead,
let tlio warehouses for tlie storage of
cotton bo also bonded. Tills could be
done easily and with safoty to tho gov
ernment. Require such warehousemen
to carry insurance, to properly weigh
and classify the cotton, and to bo direct
ly responsible on their bond for false
classification or weights. Tlie cotton
receipts of such a warehouse would he
accepted by tho bank; and thus wo have
a simple method of transacting busi
ness, without tlio intervention of an
army of official locusts, and
without disturbing tlio usual
course of crude. Whenever a sufficient
quantity of cotton is brought to market,
there is a suitable warehouse which
could ho utilized under this plan;
when tlie business will warrant there i»
or would lie a safo hank; so that the
points of location for tho sub-treasuries
and bonded warehouses would he the
natural trade centres; and there is no
reason why at each of thoso there might
not ho both a bonded bank and a bonded
warehouse. Where the cotton receipts
and sales aro rarge enough to warrant,
thore might ho selected two or more
warehouses, as ipany indeed as the
wants of this trade mado necessary.
This would not interfere with the large
amount of capital invested in this busi
ness over tho country; but would bene
fit. It would stimulate tho production
of bettor gradoss of cotton, would give
the noeded relief, and would furnish it
through tho usual channels of trade.
Abundant precedents in principle
already exist for a schemo of this sort.

The Constitution thinks that there is

moal tub; for it says: “Tho sanguine
