In the political guessing gitnc some of onr leading politicians are not occu pying very high places after the re stilts of Tnesday. Tho Augusta Chronicle says the Georgia legislature can render a ser vice by passing .laws that will hunch elections. Too many elections thi fall. Speaker New ton Morris authorizes tho statement that he will not he u candidate for ro-olection as speaker of tho House at the conclusion of his present term. Americus needs factories nnd the population such enterprises always brings. The Timcs-ltccorder has for months endeavored to impress this truth on our people. Athens Banner: If the members of the general assembly take care of the work before them they will have little time to consider the great quantity of newspaper advice that is lie ip g offered. Tho Democratic party is going to get soiiio new leaders. As hot air pre duccrs, some of the wise men who wero controlling tho late campaign may be all right, hut tlioy failed to produce the votes, nnd votes aro what count. 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 promising.

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 nnd the outlook for next year's trade v rv promising.

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.” GEORGIA SlMTEBCotJSTBV.
