AMERICUS, GA.. JUNE 29, 1900
There is one satisfaction to newspa
per men about this Chinese war. It|j owe
doesn't make a particle of dilt'ercnce articles
bow the names are spelled.
The Wyliiugton Post suggests that
“tho risky proceedings at Philadelphia
were based solidly upon the theory that
the Democratic party w ill reaflirm its
mistakes.”
Wheat is up and just as the south is
harvesting a big crop, too. The south
will strike it yet,especially if.shc keeps
on raising wheat, hog, and hominy—
r - f with cotton and iron on the side.
Croker has lauded in New York, and
the shake up in Taiymany is expected.
A party cannot fulnlinate with effect
against trusts and at the same time
allow' its leaders to derive benefits from
trusts. •
There are 17,183 foreign residents in
China, of w hom 5,CCS are British, and
2,3.% are American, tho tw'o being
nearly equal to those of other coun
tries combined. Russians come next
with 1,021.
Tho lesson of 1832, when the Repub
licans were beaten with as good a tick
et as could bo chosen and with great
er prosperity than the country ever
knew’ before, must not bo forgotten,
says the Philadelphia Press.
The reports of deaths among United
states soldiers in Cuba are bcgiuuiug to
multiply, with yellow fever as the prin
cipal agent of fatality. Major Frank
H. Edmunds, inspector-general on the
staff' of Brig-Gen. Fitzhugb Lee, is
the latest victim.
bam Jones said iu ono of his ser
mens; “Tf I was running a soap fac
tory in hell I wouldn't use the carcass
of Atlanta’s mayor for grease.” “If
Jones were running a soap factor}'
somewhere instead of disgracing
ligiou the world would be better off*,”
says the Mobile News.
For the benefit of those not fully
versed in Chinese geography it may be
stated that the Taku forts recently cap
tured by the international fleet are at
>' the mouth of the Pei Bo river. From
there to Tien Tsin, where the recent
troubles Lave occurred, is 70 miles by
water, but only 35 overland. The
^ Pei Ilo is navigable for only light draft
gun boats. Poking, tho capital, lies
miles nottb-west of Tien Tain, near the
foot of the mountains, and eau only be
reached overland.
SALARY OF THE PRESIDENT
The President revives a sa’ury of
£50,000 a year, his house free, and thb
includes the heating anil lighting.
The grounds are cared for, his colour-
ratory is filled with flowers and the
gardener who cares for it is paid by the
Government. The only servants
whose wages the President is called
'upon to pay are his own personal ones,
for the doorman, messengers, clerks,
and, iu fact, every one connected
directly or indirectly with the Execu
tive Department are of course Gov
ernment employes. He receives “also,
' as the head of the army, fodder 'for
his horses and his stable is the proper
ty of the Government, There are
other allowances, aDd, taken all in all,
it is estimated that the President ^re
ceives in various ways between $80,000
and $90,000 a year, or its equivalent,
try. That was the keynote of the
speeches at the Philadelphia Conven
tion. It is no doubt true that the
country is in a much better condition
than it was when Mr. McKinley enter
ed the White House, but there is no
reason for saying that its improved
condition is due to any thing that he or
the Republican party has done.
If there should be a still greater
slump in prices than there has been
during tho last mouth, aud many more
mills should be shut down, the Repub
lican party would be deprived of a con
siderable part of its campaign ammun
ition. And there is a prospect of
prices. The prices of many

EFFECTUALLY;
The best feature of the offering, aside from the sensational price, is th e
broad variety from which to choose almost every width from 3 to 9 incheswide,
making it an offering to meet every need as well as every taste. There can be
no disappointments among such a broad collection and every yard is new this
season. The values are from 10c to 25c yard, while the price for ,

they were at the beginning of this year.
I11 our dispatcher yesterday there
was an announcement that the cotton
manufacturers of the South were try
ing to stem the downward movement
of prices. There does not seem to be
any very good reason why there
should be a decline iu the prices of
cotton goods. According to the man
ufacturers there is no overproduction.
There ie only about a mouth’s supply
of cottou goods on hand. The de
mand iu the iron trade appears to bo
good. Nevertheless the movement of
prices is steadily downward. The
same is true in respect to lumber.
Just what is causing the decline in
prices no o«e seems to know. The Re
publican leaders say that prices advan
ced and prosperity came because the
Republican party was given control of
tho government, They still have con
trol of tho government. Are they
willing to say that the decline iu
prices is duo to their unwise legis
lation and their management of pub
lic affairs? How will they explain the
decline in prices without assuming re
sponsibility for the decline?
As a matter of fact they know, and
tho whole world knows, that the Re
publican party is not enti'led to credit
for the better times which tho country
has enjoyed during the last two or
three years. The better times were
brougth about by natural causes,
causes that were independent of poli
tics and political parties. They came
at a time, however, that enabled the
Republican party to ciaim credit for
them. It is a claim that promises to
give that party a great deal of trouble.
Let prices continue to fall and the
volume of business to skriuk and it
will have some difficult questions to
answer.-—Savauuah News.
If Li Hung Chang Las really been
called into the councils of tho Chinese
government there is yet hope for the
empire. Although 81 y’ears old and
doubtless feeling the effect of advanced
age he is yet the most progressive man
in China, aud the only one able to deal
intelligently with her internal and ex
ternal complications
China will have to pay many millions
for the bombardment of Tien Tsin, and
the great powers will enforce their in
demnity demands.

UNAVOIDABLE CIRCUMSTANCES.
The United States must participate
in the Chinese affair. This cannot be
avoided. It is one of the incidents ac
compauyiug the fact that this Govern
ment is one of the great civilized
powers of the world, and as such can
not stand idly by and allow other
powers to fitjht its battles aud protect
its citizens. No desire for landed
possessions, no desire to interfere with
the integrity of the Chinese Govern
ment, no intention of partitioning
Chinn, no effort to make any part of
China subject to us, influences the
United States Government in joining
the other powers to suppress disturb
ances, perhaps instituted by the ruling
powers at Pekin. But because of our
prominent position iu the family of na
tions, aud because tf the rosponsibili
ties resulting therefrom, without
desire ou our pari, we have to do our
duty aud to assist in the pacification of
China, even if it requires more men
aud more ships and results in tho over
throw of tho usurper, tho Empress
Dowager aud her coterie. Circum
stanced, beyond tho control of the
United b utes, have forced positive
action, tho sending of ships aud men
Circumstances, also beyond the control
of our Government, have resulted in
warfare waged by the imperial troops
of China against United States marines
attempting to relievo American citizens
and officials, threatened with massacre,
aud Americau hood 1ms been shed in
the defense of Americans, The limit
has been reached, aud though wo may
make no war against the preservation
of the Chinese empire, every American
citizen must feel that every resource
of the republic should be brought iuto
use, if needed, to aid iu suppressing
Chinese soldiery who light us while
their Empress talks peace aud good
will. Unless the United States, as a
nation, are desirous of shirking re
sponsibilities and taking second place
iu the family’ of civilized nations the
word must go forth to Chiuu that more
troops and ships will be supplied to aid
iu the t« aching of the Celestials that
Americans have rights which must be
respected regardless of subterfuges.
It is a question of progress or barbar
ism, aud we cannot enlist on the side
of baibarism. —Nashville American.
Before peace can be restored in
China the usurping Dowager Empress
will have to be deposed. The sooner
the great powers reach this agreement
the better it will be for the peace of
tho world.
The Kansas City convention may be
called tipon to declare ae to affairs in
China iu definite language, for^mo-
uiontous events affecting the civilized
world arc demanding attention in the
“Flowery Kingdom.”
Having taken credit to themselves
for “prosperity ” and advanced prices,
the Republicans will surely be willing
to accept responsibility for the slumps
now iu progres*, the lockouts, strikes
aud cloeiug of factories aud furnaces.

_ Save Money, But Wear Good Shoes
There is only one place to do both—to get the best, and save the mest--that
is here, before all these Oxfords are sold. There is still plenty of full lines here
at one-third off regular pritie, but on the Oxfords we have made another very
deep cut. We offer your choice of any pair ladies’ low cut shoes in our store for
$1.25; former prices $1.25 up to $3.00 pair.
12 1=2 Arcadia Suitings at 5c. Yard.
We told of them last week. Our haste is your .opportunity. People will j
expect us to have this line of goods all the season, but we prefer to sell them:
early. They would be reasonably priced at 12 1-2C. and these reduced prices |
reflect nothing upon the character of the goods. There’s less than five hun
dred yards left. 1
Men’s Crash Suits at $i.25.==Last Notice, wecouidboxup
all this lot of suits and make money by keeping them till next summer. In.
stead, we have given them another stab. You can buy them now at $1 25 per |
suit. Better come early as they cannot last long at this price.
Flen’s Shirts.
We offer two hundred and fifty men’s shirts of I
all grades, ranging from 50c to $1.25. They are
the last of several lots of our best sellers this season. Of course the sizes are
broken, but almost every size in some of the lots They arc made of Percales |
and fine Madras Cloths. Because they are odd lots we will sell them for 35c,
each. Come early and you will riot be disappointed,

Eutaw, Ala., June 27.—A cyclone
passed over Eutaw, doing much damage.
