THIS IS FOR YOli!
I mean all who are indebted to
us for The Times-Recorder and I
earnestly request those In arrears
to make arrangements to pay some
thing if not all on their subscrip
tion. I have labored night and
day during the year and years to
send many of you a good paper, and
surely you will admit I’m entitled
to something for my hard work. I
need the money, for I have to work
as hard or harder than any man
who reads my paper to make an
honest and upright living. I trust
you will heed this urgent call and
pay me what you owe me.
Respectfully,
MARIE L. MYRICK.

DEMOCRATIC FROSPECTS.
The republicans have been much sur-
prised by the discovery tbst the war
has not turned out to be a “boomer”
NOW FOB THE ABUT POST.
The movement to bring an army post
to Americns must b* path id to it- it-
rnost. Wo rc. < not get the pest, but
THOMPSON STILL IN CUSTODY
SECOND WARANT FOR FORGERY
ISSUED
DUNCAN II DUNCAN
for their party, but on the contrary it
is a thorn in the side of the faithful for
the reason that tbe scandal growing
out of the conduct of the war depart-
meut has cost them thousands of votc<-
and promises to resnit in a democratic
victory next November. Tbe republi
can leaders cannot conceal their alarm
over tbe fact that there were great
slumps in tbe vote this month in Ver
mont and Maine, and tbe widespread
dissatisfaction growing out of the con
duct of the war.
Tbe latest returns from tbe election
in Maine show that tbe total republi
can majority in the state will not ex
ceed 18,000. In tbe election for gov
ernor in 1800 tbe republican majority
was something over 48,000, showing a
loss tjus year of almost two-thirds, and
in tbe election last Monday Speaker
Reed lost .’>,000 votes in bis own district,
which be has been in tbe habit of car
rying by majorities ranging from 10,-
000 to 8,000. Ail of this is very encour
aging to tbe democrats, because it is
indicative of tbe general disappoint
ment of tbe people with tbe adminis
tration of affairs by tbe republican
party.
Thu National Democratic Congres
sional Committee are confident now
that tbe lower house of tbe next con
gress will be organized by tbe Demo
crats and their confidence is based on
reports received from districts through
out tbe conntry which are nominally
democratic, but went republican in
1890 by a close vote. Tbe reports from
district chairmen state that tbe people
are disgusted with tbe mismanagement
of the war and tbe terrible treatment
tbe American soldiers received at tbe
front and in the camps of concentra
tion. So encouraging is tbe news com
ing from all quarters that the demo
cratic managers find that their most
liberal estimates give but 134 republi
can members in tbe next bonse, or So
less than a majority.
In Ohio, Illinois and Indiana alone a
democratic gain of 25 is almost certain.
These states now have only 14 demo
crats in tbe present bouse. Wisconsin
is expected to give a certain gain of 1
and a probable gain of 3. Three are a
certainty from Michigan, 3 from Min
nesota, 2 at least and probably 3 from
Iowa, 1 from Nebraska and 2 from New
York. New York is expected to elect
14 democrats, New Jersey 2 and Penn
sylvania 9. Maryland will certainly
elect 2 democrats and West Virginia 1
probably 3. Solid democratic ' delega
tions from Alabama and Texns are
conuted on, as is a gain of 1 from Mis
souri and 2 from Kentucky.
Tbe committee outlined tbe reeult as
follows: Democrats, 107, republicans
129, fusion 28, doubtfnl 32. Tbe full
membership of the bouse is 357.
Should tho republicans capture ail tbe
doubtful districts, they would still have
only 181 votes, or 18 less than a major
ity. In this forecast it is asserted by
tbe committee that they have underes
timated tbe democratic possibilities,
preferring rather to rely upon a rea
sonable compilation than to trust to
specnlatiou.
ARMY WILL NOT IMPEACH THE
ARMY.
all indications -re favoinble j>r.d we
* us* ■ -ive n*. stone unturned in our
-.if. it. It will bo an advantage to tbe
citv i, manv ways, commercially and
as an attraction tn visitors; and then it
menus that tbe government pots its
stamp o' approval or Americas.
The Timek-Recouder says let tbe
soldiers come. Onr citizens should
not lose a point in this important deal.
Itjmeaiis mneb to us, and tbe argu
ments in favor of securing a large
body of men encamped hero tor the
winter are too numerous an i well
known to even need favorable com
ment. Othei cities are reaching ont and
straggling for commercial supremacy
audit Americas would keep in tbefront
ranks our pnblic spirited business men
must be on the alert and stand ready
to work for the good of the city. May
or Hixon and tbe honorable city coun
cil arc doing everything possible to
interest the war department in Ameri-
cus as a superior location for tbe troops.
A number of onr business men are also
giving their aid; but The Times-Re-
couder advises that some work should
be done in Washington, and none are
more capable and none will be moro
willing to undertake this work than
our immediate representative in con
gress, Hon. E. B. Lewis. Mr. Lewis
is a thorough business man and can
present onr elaim upon a legitimate
business basis, and it goes without
saying his influence will materially
strengthen the chances of Americns to
secure tbe coveted encampment.
TO MUSTER OUT AT ATLANTA.
An Atlanta special to tbe Savannah
News says: “Orders have been.issucd
for tbe mastering ont of the Second
Georgia Regiment in Atlanta. The
regiment is now stationed at Hunts
ville. It will broak camp there next
Tuesday, and como to Atlanta, where
the officers and men will be granted
thirty-day fnrlongbs before being for
mally mastered out of tbe United
States service.
Col. Oscar Brown, in command of
tbe regiment, has planned to have a
parade here upon bis arrival, and tbe
Army and Navy League, of which Mrs.
Gov. Atkinson is president, is prepar
ing to give the regiment a hearty re
ception.
Mrs. Atkiusuu bus called a special
meeting of tbe league for Monday after
noon to make the arrangeiueuts.
It is likely that there wilt be a din
ner served to tho regiment, and a re
ception at the executive mansion.
Tbe First regiment, under command
of Col. Lawton, will pasB through At
lanta on its way to Macon for muster
ing ont, and Mrs. Atkinson will sug
gest that proper attention be jextended
to this regiment also.
Tbe programme uow is to give tbe
men a luncheon if they stay over Sucre
long enough. If possible, Col. Law
ton’s regiment will also be asked to
parade through tbe city, as there is a
general desire to sue him and bis men,
who have been so highly spoken of by
the high officers of tbe army.
THE GRUB I LEFT BEHIND ME.
Army officers say that it would be no
trouble to get all the information there
is concerning tbe campaign at Santia
go, the management ot tbe war through
the department and the operations of
the medical, quartermaster's and com
missary departments, if a tribunal or
board were organized with authority
to compel testimony, but that officers
will jeopardize their otrn interests or
pat themselves in the attitude of vol
untary informers when the qpmposition
of the commission making the inquiry
is not such us to make it compulsory
npon them to tell what they may know.
They say it will be impossible for a
commission noi having tbe power to
compel testimony to get at tbe facts.
Most officers, they say, will make it a
point of honor, ns well as a matter of
self-interest, to utclin- U- give testi
mony of any importance, unless com
pelled to. ~.Il tbe commission coatu j
compel testimony, an officer giving I
testimony which might be damaging j
would have tbe excuse that ire had no !
choice l>nt to tell what he knew. I . .
the absence of authority to compel' s- j
timouy the witness would have a right j
to conceal or to decline to disclose any
facts in his possession. |

Just at the Moment Friends Were
About to Secure His Release on
Fiist Charge.-Still Working
For His Release-
There are uow two warrants against
M. Thompson, and in each he is
charged with the crime of forgery.
The first warrant was issued last week
and epon this Mr. Thompson was
arrested in Detroit and brought to
Americus. Tho second warrant against
him was issued yesterday afternoon,
and there may be others.
The second warrant was placed in
the bands of Sheriff McArthur just as
Thompson’s friends had about arrang
ed bond in tbe first case, thereby stop
ping proceedings.
A number of friends of tbe former
railroad commissariat were busy yes
terday arranging a bond in tho hope
of securing his release from jail. Tbe
amount was fixed at 83,000, and bad
been mudo up, when the second war
rant wns sworn out against Thompson
by parties here. As it would have been
difficult to have arranged another bond
at that hour, Mr. Thompson's friends
gave up tbe idea of securing bis release
last night.
It is understood, however, that fur
ther efforts upon this line will be mude
this morning.
At is understood that a committal
trial before Judge Maynard will be had
tomorrow morning, though counsel for
the defendant may waive this and de
mand an indictment by the grand jury
at the November term ot superior court.
One of the attorneys for Mr. Thompson
stated yesterday that 'this point had
not yet been fully determined, how
ever,

Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 21.—The week
ly crop bulletin of tbe weather bureau
issued today gives the following sum
mary of couditions in this state: Dur
ing the past week tho weather condi
tions have been very favorable for all
farm work. The days have beeu warm
and snnsbiny. Ail crops have shown
some improvement over last week.
Cotton is opening rapidly and there
is now very little complaint of rust or
rot. Picking has been pushed vigor
ously and some ginning has been done
and cotton sold. The corn crop will
be short, as it has been badly dam
aged by continuous rains, so that it is
too far advanced to bo benefitted. A
largo crop of hay has beeu saved dur
ing the past week. Peas and sweet
potatoes have grown vigorously, but
gone too much to vine. Tbe damage
to tbe rice crop has been great, Sugar
cauo is doing fairly well.
