To-day Georgia bows her head iu | IJut Jt should be remembered that the The St. Louis Globe-Deiuocrat (Itep.) says: “Mr. Harrison’s position with re gard to the presidential nomination seems to be that in case he cannot get it he will not want it.” The Louisville Courier-Journal pre dicts that Mr. Reed’s tactics will not be followed by the Democratic speaker of the next House, and gives several highly moral reasons for its opinion. shame, for the final death blow has been given the bill, and the same 04 misguided men, whom their constitu ents made the great mistake of not leav ing at home in the obscurity to which they will hereafter be consigned, stuck to their original error and refused to re- couslder their vote. This was to be expected of a set of men whose ignorance is equalled only by their prejudice. Whatever might have been the general Idea heretofore prevailing of the caliber of the present Legislature, nobody could have conceived them small aud mean enough to vote down such a bill as the amended substitute, which simply pro vided that the home be accepted by the The Boston Advertiser i what Mr. Blaine will do turns to Washington iu Several members of the tribe of Benja min are reflecting upon this very point. They have a way of doing business in New York whicM would make a coun tryman's bead swim. The other day Jay Gould handed a man a $2,000,000 check in payment for a railroad, aud it was promptly paid at the bank. The fastest time on record between San Francisco and New York was made recently by Herman Oelrlchs, in his pri vate car, Grassmere, which crossed the continent in four days, eighteen hours and four minutes. The Democrats of the second Tennes see district have nominated J. C. J Williams against John Houk, the Re publican candidate. Mr. Houk will have a good following, because he is the sou of his father; but the Democrats have a fighting chance, and will work it for all it is worth. Eight new cases of typhoid fever, said to be due to the use of impure well water, have been reported in Newark since Saturday. The polluted condition of the Passaic river has driven most of the people of Jersey City and Newark to use well or spring water. Rki*oi;ts from Chili state that Balma- ceda and the government forces have been overthrown and the congressional party are in possession of the capital and aro decidedly on top. The effect will bo a reorganization of the govern ment, with a now president aud one nearer to the people than the Balraaceda crowd. A physician in Australia declares that ho has found a remedy for snake bites that never fails, and that is a hypo dermic injection of the nitrate of strych nine. This is a very good cure, no doubt, but it will never take the place of the old time remedy of ono quart of rye administered in quick doses straight out of the bottle. Tiie cotton planters of the lower Mis sissippi valley have bocu holding meet ings and pledging themselves not to pay more than 40 or 50 cents a hundred pounds for picking cottou.

It is attempted to palliate the offense by the plea that these men were “con scientious” and simply did their duty as they understood it. Admitting this, the fact remains that no set of men are fit to go to the Legislature whoso consciences are not enlightened by reason and com* raou sense. There were a few men in the body whose impotent rage against the voice of the people so far overcame their dis cretion that they let the real cat out of the bag; and that was, that the opposi tion to this measure was founded in the fact that they suspected it to be a scheme of Atlanta to unload some sort of Trojan horse on the State. In plain English, it was Georgia versus Atlanta, a fact made patent by Baldwin of Randolph, and another member, whose name was not given, who shook his fist at the gallery and shouted, “Atlanta isn’t on top yet!” But the most monumental ass devel oped in the whole affair was Atkinson of Coweta, whose conduct the Epglish lan guage is too poor to properly character ize without descending to a level where, in any contest of epithets, nature and education would give the honorable member the advantage over anybody but a Billingsgate fishwoman. Perhaps Dr. Hawthorne’s reply to him is the best that could be devised; and what is therein said of him, the ring leader, is worthy of reproduction: The citizens of Atlanta who met at the nr- tesian well, and in a peaceable aud dlgulfled manner gave expression to their views upon a question ol public policy were not “a howl- Ingmob.” There was not a man of the (3,000 gathered there who Is not the peer of Mr. Atkinson In everything except bitterness and profanity. No man has ever outlived a speech so offensive to every lover of truth and virtue, and Mr. Atkinson will not be an exception to the rule. His mistake Is a dis aster from which be can never recover. The verdict of the disgusted public will be that his rashness and Irreverence disqualify him for any otilce In which ho would be expected to represent the Interests an 1 feelings of a Ch l-tl.tu people. .1.

The im provement will be gradual, and its full effect will probably not be felt for some months. In the meantime the South, notwithstanding the dullness usually seen just before cotton begins to move freely, is pressing forward in the solid develop ment of its industrial Interests. Proba bly the most important enterprise report ed for many weeks is the announce ment that leading English capital ists, represented in this country by the Jarvis-Conklin Mortgage and Trust Company, have purchased a controlling interest in Port Royal, S. 0., thus unit ing in the development of that port English and Western influences aud the Richmond Terminal Company, giving assurance that the South is to have another great deep-water port. The tendency of the foreign trade of the country is to seek outlets through south ern ports, and this will prove of great value to the whole South, as it means the building up of a number of great commercial cities along the coast from Newport News and Norfolk to Texas. Another important enterprise reported is the sale of 200,000 acres of coal and timber lands in West Virginia to Vir ginia and Northern capitalists, the re ported price being $1,000,000, and the sale of smaller tracts aggregating 7,000 acres for $175,000, for immediate devel opment. West Virginia also reports a $100,000 paper mill oompany and a $75,000 wagon manufacturing com pany; a $1,000,000 coal and iron company, reported a few weeks ago as organized in Georgia, will build a seventeen-mile railroad, open coal mines and build 200 coke ovens; at Middles- borough, Ky., $1,500,000 of debenture bonds have been issued for carrying out the developments in progress there; a $600,000 ore mining and manufacturing company and a $300,000 lumbering and mining company have been incorporated at Cedartown, Ga.; in North Carolina a $200,000 tobacco manufacturing company has been organized; in Kentucky a $500,000 oil aud gas company; in Vir ginia a $250,000 machine manufacturing company; in Mississippi a $20,000 buggy making company, etc. After the crops have been gathered and harvested, and money becomes more abundant for in vestment, as it then will, we shall see a wider and healthier activity and greater prosperity throughout the South than that section has ever had.—Manufactur ers’ Record. THE LIGHT DAWNING. The following is a very sensible view of the race question from a Northern newspaper. It is from the Chicago Times, and was written as criticism of ex-Senator Ingalls’ recent article bear ing on that subject in the New York Truth. The Times says: “There is reason for the fact that stared hi in in the face when he saw the negroes dwelling together with white men and without the bitterness he had formerly believed existed. Held for generations in slavery, it were beyond the limits of possible human effort to raise the negro as a race at once to the level of full citizenship. Whatever the motives that led to his enfranchisement, the result has been injurious to the race. Allowed the exercise of his full rights and American civilization would pass away were the negro ruled by force of numbers. The denial of those rights may not be defended under a fair con struction of ethics. Nor can the killing of a human being by another be so de fended. In both cases there is established an anomalous conditiou when ethical rules do not apply and man does that which is necessary and not right. The Indian possesses equally the rights of the negroes. But the best opinion of the ruling race is that the exercise of such full rights would not be for the ultimate benefit of the whole race, in cluding in that term all human beings. But these problems are to be worked out by the people of the different sections. Their settlement is delayed by partisan harangues and the denial of simple truths.” This question is now’ mush better un derstood at the north than formerly. A kind of fanatical exaltation of the negro and prejudice against the southern whites, which grew out of the war, led to a very perverted idea there of the status of the races in this section. Such perverted ideas were industriously kept alive by the Republican press and poli ticians for political purposes. Articles like that quoted above show that time and study are revealing the truth and that the matter is coming to be properly understood. AS TO SILVER COINAGE. When doctors disagree, who shall de cide ? It is remarkable how the doctors of the body politic disagree on the silver question. The boldest statements are made by those who ought to know, yet these statements often show’ the grussost ignorance. Even such au intelligent paper as The New York Evening Post fails into a palpable error. It says: The silver men boldly demand that the ► ! “Tl that the j parted with.

Possi bly the struggle for existence iu that land of droughts and blizzards may have a tendency to elevate the race. Tiie Delaware peach growers are pe culiarly unfortunate. In 1889 and 1800 there was such a falling off In the peach crop that the basket manufacturers sus pended business to a large extent. This year there is a large crop, but it is im possible to obtain nearly enough baskets. The price of baskets lias risen from 3 to 5 cents, while the price of peaches is unusually low. As a consequence canned peaches will be plentiful next winter, and so will peach brandy. Telegraphic advices announcing the death of cx-Senator Pomeroy of Kansas bring to mind that bo was one of the first settlers of Kansas, aud also recall a somewhat interesting correspondence between the Senator and the equally noted Editor “Brick” Poineroy, in which the latter asked the Senator by way of claiming relationship which branch of tho Pomeroy family he belonged to. To that inquiry the .Senator wrote in reply: “Which branch do you belong to? I belong to the other.” Possibly no other man ever got so far ahead of “Brick.” If he ever made answer it was made so faintly that it did not reach the public. Yet “Brick” always prided Idmself on bis ready retort. I was the incongruity of the situation which induced the Alliance last week to appoint a committee to buy tlio Farmer outright. The Times would advise that the joint control be continued. It would teach a beautiful lesson, showing to the world that w hile in theory men may differ radically in their beliefs, in their practical affairs they can hold the mop* harmonious relations. It affords a prac tical illustration of how the Alliance lion and the railroad lamb cau lie down to gether and for once get up with tho lion on the inside, bo long as there is a deficit to make up, why not let the plethoric railroads supply it?—Savannah Times. Bkadstueet’s report of railroad earnings for the first six months of the year show an increase compared with the same period of 1890 of 10 per cent, in the Southern group of roads, 10 per cent, iu the Pacific group, 13 per cent, oil the coal roads and 3.2 per cent, by the trunk lines, and decrease of 4.1, 2.8 and 2.0 on the granger, Southwestern and Central Western roads. The South leads, as usual, all other sections except the Pacitic coast, where the gain was the same. During June there was a general increase in earnings, and South ern roads showed a gain of 2(3 per cent. the owner in silver dollars. The owmer of silver bullion will take it to the gov ernmeut mint, just as a farmer takes his corn to mill, and have it coined just as coin is ground to meal. The govern ment will cliargo a small sum for mint age, or “seignorage,” as tho miller charges toll. The silver men simply de mand that the government shall extend the same courtesy to silver that it does to gold. The Empire State Bank, Atlanta, Ga., has petitioned the Legislature for a charter. J. R. Tolleson and others arc the corporators. After Tolleson’s little escapade with Judge Clark, it would seem that he would dodge a bank as if It were an anaconda. But some men never know when they get enough of a good thing. The Democrats of Minnesota had a meeting at St. Paul Saturday for tho purpose of carryiug oat an arrangement, so it is said, to make a fusion with the Farmers’ Alliance of that State, w here by the Democrats will support S. M. Owens, the Alliance candidato for Gov ernor, and in return will bo given the Uuited States Senator. It is claimed that the Allianco and tho Democrats aro in close touch, and that the latter have no objection to casting their votes for Owens, tho farmers’ candidate, as he is decidedly Democratic in his views and principles. If the combination is made the result will be the retirement of Sena tor Davis next year and the election of one more Democrat to the United States Senate. The Republicans who have bided Gov. Merraim for the Senate are trying to prevent the fusion, but their efforts are meeting with very poor sue- j cess. JUST SO. The Philadelphia Press, in an edito rial on congressional gerrymandering, says: The apportionment committee of the Geor gia legislature has agreed upon a bill divid ing that state Into eleven congreislonal dis tricts. The little opposition it has encoun tered seems to foretell Its early passage, and approval by the governor. If It becomes a law Georgia will be the tenth state which has rearranged Its congrrssional districts since the bill apportioning representatives among the different states, under the recent census, w’as passed by cougress. The other nine states are Alabama, Arkansas, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Michigan. Indiana, Minnesota, Wisconsin and California. lie- districting bills were also Introduced into the Oregon and Washington legislature, but there is no record at hand of their passage. Of the ten reupportIon meats, Including Georgia, thus made, seven were the work of the Democrats, two of the Republicans, and in one st«te the control of the legislature was divided. Of the Democratic apportion ments, only that now’ being arranged in Georgia cau be called in any sense fair. This rndoubtedly makes the eleven districts of Georgia solidly Democratic, but there Is no very wide disparity in the population, and tiie bouiuiary lines of the districts do not show an evident •ff»rt to wrench counties from their natural position. It is not neces sary for the Democrats to do this in Georgia, ms there is a safe white Democratic msjailly in Die state, and the colored vote is practi cally a uonenlty. Iiut the Democrats should have whatever praise the new npportioment merits. Our Philadelphia contemporary no doubt scrutinized the now Georgia dis tricts with partisan eyes iu the hope of discovering something objectionable. The fact that it pronounces Georgia’s plan of reapportionment the only one out of seven Democratic states that can be called fair is, under the circumstan- ery handsome tribute. If the Press has failed to discover any gerry mandering down here it is no use for anybody else to try. The world is full of surprises. Every day or two some now invention or a business enterprise of extraordinary magnitude startles the people. And the thieves aro not behind tho rest of the Id. Recently they organized a burglar’s trust. That was rather start ing. The king thief, however, lives in Kansas. He hired a threshing machino and laborers and threshed out over4,000 bushels of a farmer’s w heat that was stacked in a field, carried it to market, got the money for it and disappeared. Tho farmer who owned the wheat lives several miles from w here his wheat was stacked. The thief was a bold fellow’ and took many chances. He secured about $1,000, aud is now’ cnjoyiug him self, probably. Ex-Chief Justice Drake of the court of claims was once addressing a meeting of the Washington City presbytery against theater going, and, being asked where the Bible condemned it, answered that of course theaters were not men tioned iu the Bible. This remark brought up the Rev. D. 8underlaud, of the First church, like a shot, but in his suavest manner, with “I beg the judge’s pardon, but we read in tbo book of Acts of tbe Apostles that St. Paul went to the thea ter at Ephesus.” The judge was iloored. —Washington Post. AMERICUS. , From time to time, in the history of our land, there have come spells of stagnation of business and uncertainty which.have led to feelings of despond ency and almost gloom. This is the history’ of eve**y land and every condi tion of the human family. Why this is so, no one cau hazard an opinion. But the fact remains, that it is foolish to imagine that distant fields are ever green. From one end of the country to the other comes the universal wail of “Times are changed!” While this may appear to be the truth on the surface, yet there is no change. During the past fifty years men who are now living distinctly remember wheu the outlook was ten times more threatening of disaster than the present. We of the south have no special grievance. Wheu we look abroad, and read of the convulsions in London and New York, and other financial centers, we must conclude that ours is but the common lot, and there is no use of sigh ing for pastures new. Nothing is more commou than for active men to sigh for other fields of action, on the first b-eqth of dullness. But why not consider the outlook ? What field of activity is unoccupied ? Where can capital or ability drift to that promises a better field than at home ? Where can any man go to where he will find a better opening or a brighter promise than right here ? In tho univer sal stagnation which pervades the whole country at this time,why not act sensibly, and conclude that every community, in every part of the land, has its own burdens to carry, and that we will do our part best by standing by our own people, and helping, to the extent of our ability, In tiding over the days that are dark and dreary. Let us do this cheer fully, and when the sun of prosperity again shines, we who have stood at our posts of duty will feel that we have done our part to lift the financial clouds that now hang over, not only Americus, but our entire land. -' < >urier LINTLESS COTTON. The Charleston News and again calls attention to a remarkable riety of cotton which it described a v'* ago, aud announces now that it * come to stay,” that is, that it has itself to be THE COTTON CROP. From every part of tho country comes the report of great damage to the cotton crop by too much rain, rust and cater pillars. It is the same old cry, aud the aston ishing feature is that the south does not get used to this state of affairs, for year by year the same story goes out. The crop is boomed all June and July, and the price-makers in Liverpool are cabled by their agents of the magnificent crop prospects in the United States; the figures are fixed on the basis of an im mense yield, prices tumble, and when the shortage shows up the south’s pro ducers cannot hope to profit by it, for the crop.has long ago been bought by those English sharks, and our buyers can only go by the rules outlined for them, and pay such prices as the code allows. The success of the cotton crop is never a certainty, and nothing can safely be counted on until the trying mouth of August is weathered through, and even though there be an overwhelming crop up to that time September and October rains inay greatly damage tho staple; so eally tho crop is not in any way safe until it is picked and housed. There is no crop liable to as many dis asters in its course of maturing as the cotton crop of the South, and some w*ay to regulate prices so as the farmers can come in on the home stretch is a subject open for discussion. proven a permanent variety TL people are evidently in abetter moodf taking up its cultivation than tliev « ' a year ago, for the relative Import^'! of cotton seed has increased with thed. cline in value of the lint. The lintless cotton originated W | t]l Mr. H. T. Ferguson, of Spartanburg, s C. A few days ago he exhibited iu tb t town a stalk loaded with bolls, all fln e j with large, plump seed, and nothin, else. IIo claims that he has perfected tiie variety, and that he will have s ee d enough this year to plant tiie entire State. Before the uses of cotton seed became known a lintless eariety would have been regarded merely as a curiosity and tiie idea of growing it for profit would have been ridiculed. Whether or not it will pay to grow it now is a qu e ,. tion that can be decided only after trial If it does pay the people will not he surprised, for, as tire News and Courier says: These are record.lirenktnq times, acd t! le cottou plant Is as foil of surprises as a moii- key. A hundred years ago there was some doubt about whethercottou could be grown tu this country. Tills year there is consider- able doubt whether we can stop Its growing Twenty years ago the seed were regarded at a nuisance. Now th.y are worth morethau the corn crop, hay crop, wheat crop and ho, crop all combined. Ten years from now the lint may be a nuisance, and Indeed, it is next thing to that now, A special advantage claimed for this variety is that it yields about one third more oil than ordinary cotton seed. The bolls are filled with ieeda like that of sea Island cotton. They need to be gathered as soon as they begin to crack, else the seed will fall out. The esti mated yield is four hundred bushels to tbe acre. TERIvIBLK WARNING, The best newspaper story of the sea son comes from Tbe Bainbridge Globe. Here it is: He walked id and put down a dollar, a silver dollar, that clanked like a car riage wheel in the stillness of the sanc tum. Said be: “There, take it and credit my sub scription quick.” "What’s the matter?” we said. “Well,” said he, “last week I was’ fishing out on Spring creek; a thunder storm came up, and it rained and thun dered, and lightning flashed all around me. I crawled into a hollow log to es cape it. The rain made the log swell up until I was fastened in and nearly squeezed to death. I began to think of all my sins and to repent. Suddenly 1 remembered that my subscription to The Globe was not settled up, and I felt so small about it that I was able to back right out of the log at once !” A SEASON OF PROSPERITY. The Manufacturers’ Record of this week, in an article headed, “A Season of Prosperity Ahead of us,” makes the following prediction: “During tho latter part of this year there will bo increased activity through out tho suutli, followed in 1802 by still better times, with heavy investments of outside tnonoy in railroads, in mineral and timber properties and in manufac turing enterprises, and tho south will make rapid and substantial progress in tiie development of its iron interests, in tlio creation of a steel business which will rapidly expand to inrgo proportions, in the building up of a still greater for- Tin: statement comes from a director of tlio Bank of England recognized as one of tiie foremost financiers of Kurope, that “it is probable that not less titan '-‘10,000,(100 of gold will bo shipped from Kurope to America between this and next December.

It voices the sentiment of ninety-nine out of every hundred of the people.—Augusta Even ing News.

There is room for reduction in coal tates throughout all sections of tho state, and as this is tlio season when tlio larger part of the winter supply is shipped it wauld not he a bad time to lower tlio rate a little, if there is a power in tlio state which can effect tlio end desired Thk leaders of tiie Democratic party in Ohio have settled on the 17th day of September as tiie time for tho formal opening of the campaign. Kverything is working harmoniously, and Senator Brice says the party is in a good condi tiou to carry on a victorious campaign. Governor Campbell, too, lias regained his wonted good health, anti is vigorous and buoyant. Some days sinco tiie cotton planters of Western Tennessee, at a meeting held in Memphis, proposed to reduce tiie wages of cotton pickers from 73 cents to .70 cents a hundred pounds. Similar meetings have been held in Mississippi and Louisiana, at which planters have pledged themselves to pay no more than 40 cents per hundred. A press dispatcii from Now Orleans of the 22d inst., says: “This reduction will he vigorously opposed and resented by the piekers, aud tlio chances are that tiiere will bo a big strike on this question.” Tiik Herald quotes Mr. Atkinson as threatening the press of tho country with “a stab in tlio hack.” What better could bo expected of a man who stabs an old Confederate soldior in the back and then relegates him to the poorhouse to die ? Is an editor any better than a ippled Confederate soldior in Mr. At kinson’s estimation ? By his owu state ment, stabbing in tlio back is ids favor- method of attack.
