AMERICUS, GA., JUNE 1. 1900.
The Washington Post rises to re
mark that Mr Neely 's scooting annex is
not working as smoothly as his lootin
department.
Now that the Democrats are in full
control at Frankfort, why should there
not be a real effort to liud the murder
or of Goebel ?
It seems that the politicians are not
absolutely certain about Dewey's posi
tion yet. He puzzles them worse than
he did the Spaniards.
There is nobody (piite so busy as the
editor who tries to publish a ten-page
newspaper in a four-page town, says
the Washington Post.
The British army ill South Africa has
already taken from this country 20,909
mules, aud ordered another shipment
of 10,000. Somebody will have a kick
coming.
Price, McCormick Ar Co. have gone
the way of all the rest who have tried
to corner the market. Price, Mc
Cormick A Co. were gigantic specula
tors. 'J hey bet cotton was going up,
cotton went down and they lost f or
months they have been sending South
era newspapers circulars aud telegrams
—it is said they have spent ?30,000 on
telegrams in the last six months—set
ting forth reasons why cotton was
bound to advance, and attempting to
play on the sympathies of Southern I
people and secure the aid of Southern 1
papers by picturing the benefits accru
ing to the cotton planters thereby.
The planter, however, would have
reaped little advantage, for the crop
has lefthis hands Iougago. Again,ficti
tious prices never benefit anyone nud
tend in the long run to demoralize
the market, thereby really injuring the
planters.
Concerns of the character of Price,
McCormick A- Co., pushing prices up
one day and down the next, for their
own ends nud without regard to the
laws of trade or the law of supply and
demand, are distinctively harmful nnd
the sooner they go to the wall the bet
ter.—Nashville American.

The supreme generosity of Editor
Henry Melutosh is only eclipsed by his
genial personality. The Albany Herald
says:
Mrs. Mvriek struts pompously to the
front of the stage and impressively re
marks that “Americas will view the
eclipse with serenity, proud in the cou-
Bciousnes that nothing short of the
whole earth uuu eclipse her. Now let
the tangle between Lima aud old Hoi
begin,”
Pen Tillman did not speak for the
South when he said that 95 per cent,
of white people in the Southern States
were sorry the Confederacy had failed.
This may be Tillman's individual view,
but as in many other respects he fails
truly to represent his people. While
the South glories in the magnificent
straggle made by her people and
hasn’t a word to retract concerning the
position then taken by the section, it
does not regret the outcome of the
civil war. t
Since April 20 gold exports have
amounted to 810,000,000. But these
exiiorts do not seem to have affected
financial markots to any appreciable
extent, and tho belief Advanced some
weeks ago that gold was shipi>ed
abroad in the shape of loans is gaining
gronnd. European meuey markets,
however, ore becoming easier and it is
now considered by many that the
heavy inilow of money to New York
cannot be utilized advantageously by
loans abroad. The New York money
market ia extremely easy, the bank
statement ia favorable and the banka
condition ia atrong.
The Central of Georgia railway has
issued an atlas of the states through
which its lines run. The atlas con
tains a great mass of information per
taining to the business nnd industries
in every county penetrated by the road.
It gives a list of every cotton grower,
cotton dealer, cotton seed dealer, com
press nnd gin company, cotton and
woolen mill, cotton buyer, agricultural
implement dealer or manufacturer,
cottou seed oil mill, hardware dealer,
brick manufacturer or dealor, lime
and cement manufacturer, fruit nnd
vegetable grower, saw mill nud lumber
dealer, fertilizer manufacturer aud
ilealer, iron manufacturer, foundry,

bntion among the patrons of tho Ceu

Senator Morgan mnkes grave charges
against the Administration in declar
ing it a party to the attempt to defeat
the Nicaragua Canal bill. Congress

Fighting at Klip River—Boers* Com
iiiunlcation Cut— Transvaalcrs Flee
Before French’s Advance—AutrulU
ans Take Many Prisoners.
London, \[ay 29.—The tenor of Lord
Roberts’ dispatches and news from Pre
toria leads the authorities here to expect
farther news from tho British com-
mander-in-chief, who will soon reach
Johannesburg.
The remarkable rapidity of Lord Rob
erts’ movement has upset all calculations
of the home observers as much as they
apiKiar to have disconcerted and de
moralized Lord Roberts’ opponents.
Possibly, even now, lie is at the gates of
Johannesburg, and It is !>elieved ten
days hence or less he ought to be de
manded admittance to the. Transvaal
capital itself. If the rebels over really
intended to “stagger humanity” by
blowing up the gold reef city und mines,
which is doubtful, Lord Roberts may
yet be too quick for them and arrive be
fore they have time to do any wrecking.
The majority of the burghers will un
doubtedly he glad of such an excuse for
saving the mines, and they may find the
excuse in Lord Rolierts’ skill in hustling
them out of one iiositiou ufter another.
The effectiveness of the British invas
ion of the Transvnal is further empha
sized by the news from Pretoria of tho
occupation of Zoepist und the advance
on Lichteiiberg. Apparently the Brit
ish dragnet will be drawn through the
Transvaal as it was in a similar manner
hauled through the Free State. The
fighting at Klip river, rc|x>rted from
Pretoria, was probably done by Gen
erals French ami Hamilton in forcing
their way round to the northwurdof Jo
hannesburg.
The Orange Free State was annexed
to the British empire May 28, according
to Caj** Town advices, as Lord Roberts
seems to have given his army tho first
intimation of this.
British Nearing Johannesburg.
Ki.il* Uivkk, Transvaal, May 29.—The
Boers, after preparing a good . >sition,

ers taken state that there was no inten
tion of blowing up the miti^s, declaring
that the threat was made shjiply with
the intention of frightening away tho
burghers. The British advance force is
within 15 mile* of Johannesburg.
French CuU Boer Communication.
Capp. Town, May 29.—It is rumored
here that General French has cut tho
Boer communication between Heidcl-
burg and Boksbnrg, within a few miles
of Johannesburg.

Keeling of Hopefulness Prevails-
deucy of I’rlcus Downward.
Nkw York, May 30.—Tho best that
can be said of the iron market at present
is that a feeling of hopefulness is de
veloping. The demand seems to be a
littto better in branches of the trade ami
buyers are disposed to place orders rather
more freely. No improvement is seeu
in prices. The tendency appears to
be still downward and so far no indica
tions are seen of a firm condition of
such products as are not absolutely con
trolled by an effective consolidation.
Prices have been gradually receding,
ami while efforts are made to maintain
them it simply results in creating a
great spread in quotations. Prices for
this reason on some products show u
range of several dollars per ton.

800 Men June 1.
Pittsbuko, May 30.—All the branch

ent parts of the country. ,
There is a long list of these branch
houses, nearly every city in the country
having one or more of them. The new
order will do away with a bait 800 em
ployes and result in a saving for the
combine of not less than $1,000,000 a
