TO OIK FRIENDS.
The time of the year lias come when
Thk Timks-Hkcordkk must needs col
lect what is due it in subscription ac
counts.
Knowing that the vast majority of
subscribers were farmers who had little
if any cash to spare these hard times
during the past spring and summor,
call has been made on them for payment,
because the management know the
be honest and honorable, after years of
busfnoss dealings, and that they would
pay in the fall.
Through the kindness of creditors, tho
publishers of Thk Timks-Rkcordk
have been enabled to w ait on you all
during the summer for your subscrip
tion accounts, and as almost everybody
owes from three months subscription to
over a year, you soo that thousands of
dollars are due.
A dollar is a small matter to you, but
5,000 of them amount t o a great deal,to
the business of this paper.
We have stood together in tho hard
times that we have all passed through,
Thk Times Ukcoudkr telling you the
truth concerning all matters affecting
your welfare and Interests to the best
of its knowledge and power at all times,
Without money, and a good deal of it,
a first-class paper cannot be published
Every dollar due is badly neoded;
look on your paper whore your name is
posted and see how mucli'you aro In ar

Don’t wait for the agent to call; i

THIRD l’ARTY MEN, READ TIII.NJ
President Harrison has been in a furi
ous l-age since tho result of the guberna
torial election In Georgia was known
Thursday morning.
The scales dropped from tho Presi
dent’s eyes and it is understood, on the
highest authority, that he furiously sent
word to the managers in Now York to
dump the Southern programme over
board and from this time on conllno
operations and money to the pivotal
States In the North. To a gentleman he
aald Sunday night that the only satisfac
tion he could get out of tho Georgia
election was the sorry figure cut by tho
Third party.
“I have washed my hands of the
South,” the president added with <
siderable temper. “It la a land
rebels and traitors who care nothing for
the sanctity of the ballot, and I will
never be in favor of making an active
campaign down there until we can place
bayonets at the polls. I am now more
than ever in favor of ramming a foice
bill down their throats.”
TUB GEORGIA RETURNS.
'll re’s something broke loose
Ge<*'-i*, Did yon hear the explosion
A !-■ terlng of fragment, a strewing
th ■ * rtb with debris, a few shrieks
dl.- Ji w and the story of absolutely utter
an<l amillatlng overthrow of the coin

Scanty thousand roajorityfor straight
I>em -cracy! Doesn’t that mean some
thing;’ Think about it, General Weaver,
and ‘ lswor in your own head if it does A
mean a great deal. Think It over and
answer in your own innerwards if you
and > our efforts and associates haven’
had > imethlng to do with it. Not that
there hasn’t been an 70,000 Democratic
majority down in Georgia all the while,
but don’t you rather believe that it was
you a* much as any other cause which
fon i d It out and made the valleys i
sound with the walls of Third partyisi
Gn at old Georgia! True to the pr
cipld Of Democracy; true to honest gov
ernn ent; true to tho white
supremacy; true to courage and integrity
in high place; true to the people, Demo
crats all over the country arc applauding
ur good work of yesterday.
You have omphasized the fact that the
old order of things is not dead; that
pasMDg heresy cannot wipe out the mem
of reconstruction Iniquities and
cnipotba# rule, and that the Democratic
party alone Is that which shall hold tli
ribbons from the chariot of popular gov
>ent.
to Gen. Weaver, who is now in our
t. lie is all right. He went
Arkansas and spoke from one end
of the State to the other. The Demo
atio pluralties wero about 00,000

mself conspicuous in the battle against
organized Democracy. Florida, which
ral years ago was claimed by tho Re
publicans as a doubtful Shite, bang!

Imr general assembly there a

Then tho Georgia instance. This same
great ’‘Feoplu’s” party leader next
tai kled Georgia. IIo went so fa
have a small negro throw an egg at him
and from the incident built up a cam
paign atory of Southern outrage which
was telegraphed tho country <»v
spoke and continued to speak. He at
tacked Democracy and pleaded f<
clous measures which had been concocted
to dazzlo and capture the masses. And
Georgia’s 70,000 Democratic majority i:
the unequivocal commentary.
Hero lie is In Tennessee. Let’s have
as much of him as he wiii allow. Let’i
see to it that lie invades every county

steps have the opportunity to 'show his
presence to our honest people. IIo is
going to Pulaski on Saturday. lie should
not be harmed. Ilis services a
valuable for Democracy. His labors
make the political skies rosy and Demo
cratic majorities grow. Stay with
and instead of 10,(XX) majority Tonnes
soo can pledge to Grover Cleveland and
Peter Turney 100,000 majority. And as
Tennessee goes, so will follow the Caro
Unas, Virginia and Kentucky, in all of
which this arrant political persuader
has unfurled his mighty Up and daunted

A FAIR ELECTION.

pi cased the opinion tho other day that
t!oj present presidential campaign was
tiie quietest on record, and when asked
t explain his reasons for its being no he
ri :asrkcd that it was impossible for him
to account for it on any grounds other
than that the people were thoroughly
familiar with the issues of the two par•
tic* and had already made up their
minds how they were going to vote.
‘Apathy will help the Democratic party,
however,” said Mr. Cockran, “because
I have always noticed when It existed in
.Vow York that there was a Democratic
thjpl wave on election day that swept
everything before it.”
Murat Uai.btkad has predicted who
Will compose Cleveland’s cabinet in the
•vent of Grover’s re election, and he
names Evan Howell of Atlanta as post
master general. What will Brer Hoke
Tinlth say to such a piece of political
gerrymander as thin by Grover?
THE ALLIANCE MAY HE SAVED.
A step In the right direction, taken
now, would probably do much toward
saving the Georgia alliance from threat
ened disintegration. The election on
last Wednesday furnished conclusive
proof that the majority of Georgia far
mers do not sympathize with or favor the
wild and Impracticable demands of the
People’s party. They know that the
Democratic party is reliable and that its
platform is broad enough and strong
enough for every fanner to stand upon.
The fact that thousands of the best far
mers In Georgia stood upon it last week
proves that conservative men place
bounded faith in it.
If the Alliance weie withdrawn from
politics, absolutely and immediately and
put back on its origiual basis, as
educational institution, leaving its mem
bers free to vote In November as they
please, it would probably regain much
of the lost prestige. It has been demon
strated that both tho Alliance and the
People's party cannot survive. The life
of one means the death of tho other.
And if,one must go, which would tho
farmers prefer to retain, the organiza
tion which has bcnelitted them, and
may benefit, them again, by reducing
prices and disseminating useful infor
matiou, or the one that lias been a con
atant source of trouble and annoyance,
and can nevei be anything else? The
Alliance some time ago made a winning
tight against tho bagging trust; it made
another winning fight against high
prices for supplies and agricultural ma
chinery ; It was getting Into good shape
to dictate tho size of the cotton output
and, therefore, the price of the staple,
when selfish politicians dragged it into
politics.
On tho other hand, wliat has the Peo
ple’s party done for the farmers? It has
torn tho Alliance asunder, causing it to
loso as much as half of its membership;
it has arrayed town against country; it
has made enemies of neighbors; it has
catered t6 the remnant of tho carpet-bag
party in the South and menaced good
government; it has raised up demagogues
to preach socialism and violence and poi
son the minds of the people; it has
revived social issues between the white
and the black man. it has slandered
the legislative power of the nation and
tho executive power of the State; it has
revived sectionalism between tho North
and South by nominating for tho highest
ollicc in the gift of tho people a man
who was a venomous hater of the South,
a man whom the North regards as a dan
gerous crank, but respects because he
a Federal soldier. These and other
things the People’s party has done dur
ing its short existence. But it is need
less to name more. Those mentioned
e enough to condemn it.
The question for Allianccmen to con
sider is, will they follow this party fur
ther, or drop it at onco and save the
Alliance? It would be worth 1,000 mem
bers to the order for Colonel Peok to
take tho initiative in rescuing the order.

CHOLERA NEXT YEAR.
Tho Constitution gives a timely warn-
g when it says that many exports in
this country and in Europe predict an
epidemic of cholera next year. They
say that it will sleep during the winter
and leap into activity in tho spring.
This may be true of countries and
localities wlioro ncgligonce invites dis
ease. But we do not look for the Asiatic
post in the United States. We have al
ready had a general cleaning up, and
our sanitary authorities aro prepared to
keep ovorything in order so long as the
slightest danger threatens us.
It is now understood that the cholora
will not attack clean cities and clean
people. With ordinary prudence we can
keep tho plague out of this country, and
the chauccs are in our favor.
Hut if it should come early in tho
spring wo may look out for tho collapse
of the World’s Fair, to say nothing of
other disasters consequent. When so
much depends upon our sanitary safe
guards it is not likely that any backward
step will be taken in this respect.
OPPOSED TO SUNDAY REST.
Three thousand retail dealers of Co
logoe, Germany, ‘have petitioned the
Federal Council and the Emperor
abolish the new Sunday rest law. They
assure the Emperor that Sunday rest
tends to make employes not more
religious, but more pleasure-seeking
and discontented. The petition adds
that statistics show that
unfavorable to morality and bad
political economy to hamper trade,
and collect experience from the ruin
many traders. The chamber of com
merce of upper Bavaria is preparing
agitate the question, holding the same
views as the Cologne petitioners.
The theory of these shrewd Germans
is that the way to keep their cleiks
from breaking the Sabbath on their own
accouut is tQ compel them to break it
the Interest of their employers.
.Shutting up shop on Sunday hampers
trade; and this is “bad political econ
omy” and “unfavorable to morality.
This sort of doctrine sounds strange
American ears; and any chamber of com
merce in this country that should pro
mulgate such a manifesto would find
itself in an orthodox hornet’s nest,
to speak, in short order.
The fact is, as the above seems to indi
cate, that the Sabbath in its strict sense
has about played out abroad and is los
ing ground iu this country, save in the
interior of the Southern States.
PERPETUAL MOTION.
The announcement Is made of the
success of tho revolutionists in Vene-
uela.
The overthrow of tho Venezuelan gov
ernment will have the usual results. The
defeated leaders will leaves the country
with ample fortunes, and Crospo and his
associates will proceed at once to feather
thoir financial nests. In time, other
hungry patriots will “pronounce” against
the government, drive out Crespo, loot
the treasury and in turn be driven out.
As illustrative of the instability of the
governments of our Latin-American
neighbors, it may be stated that during
the past sixty-two years Mexico has had
iifty-four presidents, one regency and
one emperor. The Argentlno Republic
promises to furnish the next revolution
ary sensation, and it may be presumed
that some of the Central American
States will soon better their records
this direction.
AH of which forcibly points 1
witticism of poor old Dom Pedro,
while at the Philadelphia “Cen
tennial” in 1870, who subsequently fell
victim to this revolutionary spirit
Being told that the great Corliss engine
mado some 400 revolutions a minute,
ho said: “That beats a South American
Republic.”
PUT THIN IN YOUR PIPE.
Editor Walsh, of Augusta, asks that
the rank and file of tho recent
whelmed People’s party make a note of
the following facts and take in the situ
ation exactly as it Is:
Gubernatorial Candidate Peek failed
carry his own county.
Mr. Gorman, candidate for secrotary
of state, lost his own county.
Mr. Ivoy, candidate for the comp
troiler-generaiship, failed to materialize
in bis own county.
Mr. Ware, candidate for State treas
uror, did not carry his own county.
Mr, Melialley, who desired to be
attornoy-general, went down in his own
county.
Mr. Barrett, tho candidate for com
missioner of agriculture, failed to carry
Richmond county, by tho largest ma
jority in Georgia.
What raoro need be said? Wore men
over so thoroughly and properly re
buked and repudiated before In tho his
tory of this country? Never! In No
vember next tho rest of the leaders—
those who are posing as Congressional
candidates—will be dealt with in a slmi
lar manner.
Tiik position of Judge Cooley in re
gard to tariff reform has long ago been
defined in his “Constitutional Limita
tions.” The Philadelphia Record (Ind.)
“In that great work Judge
Cooley lays down tho doctrine that
stitutionally a tax can liavo no other
basis than tho raising of revenues for
public purposes,’ and that ‘whatever
governmental exaction has not this basis
is tyrannical and unlawful. A tax upon
mports therefore,’ continues Judge
Cooley, tho purpose of which Is not to
raise revenue, hut to discourage and pro
hibit some particular import, may well
be questioned as being merely colorable,
and, therefore, not warranted by the
constitution.’ The democratic doctrines
have never been so clearly stated.”
A RIG NEWSPAPER.
The New York Herald of Sunday was
a mammoth affair of 40 pages, which, If
folded tho size of Websters unabridged,
would make a book of 184 pages,
contained over 21 pages of solid adver
tisements set in fine type (tho Herald
never prints “display” advertisements)
for which there was paid down cash in
advance for that issuo alone over $10,000
estimated at its lowest rates, JO cents a
lino for each insertion. The New York
Herald is a bigger thing than Tub
Timks-Hkuoudkk, at least on Sunday’
Georgia having cleaned up the Third
party in 1802, will now clean up against
her next worst enemy, the cholera, in

alike in that neither wlU have a man

that in view of the fact that the defend

Tiik Republican electoral ticket of
Georgia will not be fused with the Peo
ple's party. This was decided at a meet
ing Monday of the Republican candi
dates. The question was put to them
whether half of their number would not
give way to tho same number of the
People’s party nominees. The refusal
wss emphatic. Thus there will be four
electoral tickets voted In Georgia—Re
publican*, Democrats, People’s party
i and Protectionists.
Tiik Atlanta Constitution says that
over one hundred men and women have
pledged themselves to aid struggling and
ambitious young women of Fulton
county, to gain a good normal and in
dustrial education in the state’s college,
located at Mllledgevllle. Of these, eight
are life members, two have paid $25
each, and one lady has donated $100 for
the benefit of one girl who is now
student in the college. Out of twenty
applicant* for the benefit of tho loan
fund, only two were able to pass * suc

ty’s school commissioner, J. N. Fain, s<
that the association has been able to ex

Tub November election will bo a con

READ AND REFLECT.
With the Lodge national election law
In full force in the South and various
Democratic strongholds up North,
may confidently look for a different state
of political affairs than now exists. Si
York city will then return several more
Republican congressmen than at present,
while more than twenty negro re pie
sentative8 from tho .South will render
the Republican control of tbefutur
gress absolutely safe and sure. Heavy
taxes should be laid upon the property
of the whites to develop and extend tho
public school system of these states,
Separate schools for the two races should
be abolished, and the plan of bringing
the youth of both colors into close and
equal relation in schools and churches
given a fair trial, as one of the most
potent elements to break down tho de
testable Bourbonism of the South. The
state laws against the inter-marriage
the two races should be repealed, and
any discrimination against the blacks
the matter of learning trades or obtai
ing employment, should be a criminal
offense, while the colored man’s right,
to hold office should be sacredly pro
tected and recognized. A few years
this policy will solve the race problem
satisfactorily.—Washington National

REORGANIZING TIIK GEORGIA CEN
TIIAL.
The special committee, of which II.
It. Hollins, of Now York city, is chair
man, having in charge the rehabilitation
of the Central Railroad and Banking
Co.’s affairs, has taken steps that indi
cate a belief in tho solvency of the coin
pauy, and that evidence good chances of
success for Its speedy reorganization,
proposal was tendered tho syndicate
headed by Speyer & Co., which ad
vanced tho $3/750,000 about a year
to meet pressing obligations, that on and
after October 3 II. B. Hollins •!
would be prepared upon five days’ notice
to hand over a check for tho full amount
of the loan. The offer lias been a
ccpted and the loan will bo carried by
syndicate beaded by Hollins & Co. 1
a result of this arrangement a largo
batch of securities which wero held as
collateral for the loan will be placed in
the hands of those friendly to the work
the committee has in hand. A deal
reported to have been affected by which
the 42,000 shares of the Central stock
held by the Richmond Terminal will be
exchanged for Terminal 5 per cent, bonds
held by Hollins & Co., which, if true,
would give this firm control of tho Cen
tral.
IN THE SWEET BYE AND BYE
While some Democrats believo in free
trade theoretically, and believe it would
be tho best thing that could happen to
this country, every man of them knows,
as do those protectionists who are rals
ing such a howl about the free trade
bugaboo, that free trade is a practical
mposslbility for the next half century,
until the war debt is paid, the half-mil
lion pensioners and tlioir cousins, tliei
sisters and their aunts die, a new navy is
built, tho sea coast fortified and the Re
publican party with Its extravagant roc
ord utterly destroyed at an early date.
Were free trade voted unanimously by
the Fifty-third Congress, and tho bill
.approved by the president, it could
make little difference in the actual situa
tion for many years to come, certainly
not In the life of this generation. When
get able to bavo free trade tho coun
try will bo ripo for it.
Meantimo, the first thing to do is to
defeat the Republican party, and bcgl:
the work of retrenchment and reform.
President J. Harris Cii
(president of tho Girls’ Industrial C«>1-
lego at Milledgeville), in a recent letter,
states these fact* in reply to a question,
If there would be a vacancy for a young
lady who is studying for an examination
in December: “It is not probable that
there will bo a vacancy at Christmas.
Even if one should occur, there
girls right here on tho ground that would
be eager applicants for it. 1 have turned
off more than :100 applicants from the
dormitory this session. Our school had
a most glorious opening on the 21st lost,
We enrolled on the first day 2(12 pupils,
and they have been coming in constantly
since, until now we have 501 present,
coming from 02 different counties
in the State. I shall soon have to begin
turning off pupils from the college, just
I have been for weeks turning them
off from the dormitory. If we had suffi
cient accommodations hero in the dormi
tory and college, I am sure wo would
have 500 pupils present by the 1st of
January.”
nKRK is what Senator Teller, (Repub
lican) of Colorado, says of the infamous
force bill: “I have read that bill with
care and attention more than twenty
times. I read it in the light of calm
consideration. And I repeat that if it
were presented to me now the alterna
tive of partly support or dismissal, 1
should not vote for the bill. A more in
famous bill, In my judgement, never
passed the threshhold of tho doors of
the Senate. Avowedly in the interest of
good government, it was instigated, in
my judgment, by men whose interest it
was to prevent a full expression of the
will of the voters at the polls.”

SUMTER AT TIIK FAIR.
Mr. JsincH F. Ross Will A*aln Represent
the County »t Macon'* Fair.
To Thk 1 imks-Recordek—I am on
the tapis again, but not so comfortable
as when last beard from.
The political news is gratifying, of
course, and I have no heart for rejoicing,
but rather mortified that such an un
timely step should have been taken by
many heretofore classed with the sup
porters of true doiuocracy. The true
principles of democracy, like the Bible,
will never be obliterated.
Furthermore, I notice in your columns
that the state fair is likely to bo entirely
democratic in consequence of a boycott
by tho third party alliance, hoping
hurt Macon financially for tho egg insult
given General Weaver and party. The
Agricultural Association of Georgia li
representative body of tho farmers of
Georgia, irrespective of party politics,
and Macon pays $2,500 annually to have
the fair held there—the most appropriate
place in the state—and receives none of
the benefits of the patronage of the
park. Nome few sales may be made by
merchants to visitors*, but not in amount
sufficient to cover tboir obligation. The
greatest beneficiaries are the railroads,
and their arrangements being eo conven
ient for going and returning in the day
for considerable distances, no great per
cent of the visitors remain over even for
a night in tho city. This contemplated
boycott by those people, like their po
litical aspirations to get into power and
control the United .States government,
untimely and deplorable, and more
likely to hurt themselves than otherwise.
However, if this fight is to be made,
lot all remember my announcement as
the democratic candidate for the fair
from the county, and regardless of party
prejudice or favor, and solicit the sup
port of all. Owing to my disabled con
