In their last report, Brndstreet's say
on the business ontlook:
“Confidence in the outlook for next
year's business is a notable feat
the trade situation. The volume of
orders booked for next spring's deliv
ery is largo for this ssason of the year,
and is explained partly by the excep
tionally good business done in the fell
nnd winter account and the large crop
yields of the year, nnd also by the good
position of the winter wheat crop as
cold weather approaches. The absence
of killing frosts at the South has al
lowed of the maturing of a consider
able top crop of cotton. This lie:
helped the trade situation there, wbil
acting as a brake ui>on the tendency of
the price of that staple to advance.
“Southern trade advices are that the
fine open fall favors the mnkiug of n
good top crop of cotton. Frosts as yet
have been light. At the East retail
trade needs steady cold weather to
stimulate demand, but jobbing busi
ness feels the effect of the lifting of the
coal embargo. Woolen goods, strength
ened more by the higher cost of raw-
wool than by current demand, are
tending up; yarns have already ad
vanced. Spring trade indications me

This is certainly an interesting and
encouraging statement. There are
pessimists who can never see anything
but the worst side. Things are seldom
quite ns bad as they seem. The truth
is stated by Bradstreet when it is said
that business conditions are excellent

IT SHOULD BE ABOLISHED.
Gov. Candler sounds the keynote of
wisdom when ho advises tho abandon
ment of the plan of electing judges and
solicitors by the people, and character'
izes it as “the worst method ever
tried.” This plan of electing tho judi
ciary is,as Governor Candler intimates,
thoroughly rotten, and savors too
much of pothouse i>olities. It is
grand-stay play of politicians who want
to make tho jieoplo believe they are
the whole thing, while these i>oliticians
capture everything.—Jackson Argus,
POLITICAL FALSE PROPHETS.
Now that another national election
has passed and the results are pretty
well decided, it is well to stop and ask
a question or two about itolitica in gen
oral, bnt in particular as to the real
so-called and self-styled leaders who
do little else than sit in the |>arty head
quarters and make predictions as to
the result. Now where does the value
9*snchmen come in, what are th< y
worth to a party? They do not deceive
the public, so often have their predic
tions failed and their estimates gone
wide of the mark that even the most
ignorant voter pays uo attention to
their political talk. Tho political wind
bag is not the sole property of any
pirty, hut the Democratic party ap-
pcars to have had a very large r,!.;.: o of
him in some stntes, especially in New
York and Ohio. Wouldn’t it be l>otter
to tell the truth in politics occasion
ally and strive to tell the facts to the
voter and if he hasn't party pride
enongh to vote it as a matter of indi
vidual concern. Let us havo leaders
■who will tell the truth, and if there is
danger of defeat let it be known, nnd
let the party get ready for a harder
fight and pat a stop to the building of
alse hopes on false grounds.
The bill introduced in the House by
Mr. jiikcn, of Bartow, accompanied by
resolution from Mr. Knight, of Ber
rien, seeks to abolish the office of spo
eial nttorney of the Western A- Atlantic
railroad, now held by Hon. E.
Brown. The bill should pass boyoml
any doubt.
Commenting thereupon, tbe Albany
Herald has Ihe following;
“There now appears to be no need
special attorney for the State's rail
road. For a good many yenrs past the
position, which pays a salary of $2,000
has been a sinecure. There is, there
fore, uo apparent good reason why the
office should not be abolished and the
salary which it pays saved to the Slate,
“The Attorney General could ensily
look after any lcgnl business that tho
State may havo in connection with tho
Western and Atlnntic railroad.”
