New England will soon come to tbe same conclusion Gen. Hancock had, that the tariff is a local is sue. The London Globe holds that it seems inevitable in American life that the campaign of honesty should be hut short lived, and the momentary victory of clean government imme diately followed by an orgy of cor ruption. ’ The Vanderbilts have bought ano ther title. Or rather a Vanderbilt girl has been sold for a title. Such marriages with their almost inevita bly ending in the divorce court, are but a trifle removed from legalized prostitution. Gov. Hughes is referred to as a cold, undemonstrative man. Perhaps the public will be ready for a little less ebullition after the next twelve months. One is apt to tire of too much of one variety, even though It <3>a.the Roosevelt type. There has been a sudden revival of news Items about wireless telegraph, the great distances messages are be ing sent, etc. Look out for the fel low who Is placing stock. He will come along In the track of the news Items. Georgia Is plastered over with wireless telegraph stock. It caught ms many suckers as tbe oil wells. The Macon Telegraph points out that Georgia has only four living ex- ’ governors, and all of them are Bap tists. They are Henry D. McDaniel, William J. Northern, Allen D. Cand- Oer and Joseph M. Terrell. All ex- •ccpt Terrell are alumni of Mercer Un- Jverslty. Rumors that Secretaries Wilson and ifetcalf and Attorney General Bona parte are to retire from the Cabinet are discredited at Washington. This will help James Wilson to surpass Albert Gallatin’s 12 years and 9 months of continuous service. WatBon says In his "Jeffersonian”: "Mark what we tell you. gentlemen, you are driving nails Into the coffin of ‘Get-your-reform-inalde the Democra tic party." The Macon Telegraph thinks this a threat if the present state administration does not jump when Watson snaps the whip that he will organize another third party movement and get what heforms he wants outside of the Democratic par ty. Georgia political conditions are peculiar, to say the least of It. ' The talk that Bryan may Mthdraw -from the Presidential race has givqn an Impetus to the discussion of Judge ■Gray, of Delaware, as an available man. There has been a quiet prop aganda In force for months for Judge Gray, and with Bryan out of tbo way there will undoubtedly be an open, organized campaign for this old line Democrat. It Is claimed that be would have great strength In the East, In States whose electoral votes •are absolutely necessary for the elec tion of n Democrat. An appeal is be Ing made to the conservative Demo ‘ crats In his behalf. The “Navy,” the leading journal In its line, takes a fall out of the hu- reauracy and “conservatism” of the Navy Department, and declares: "There Is crying need for the reor ganization of the whole Navy Dopart- ■ment, secretaries of the navy, one .after naother, for many years past, and many bureau chiefs along with them, have appealed to Con gress for remedial action. The sys tem provided by Congress has been twisted into a means of protecting * “conservatism” and perpetuating In excusable defect* in our warships. It 1s time that Congress stepped In to -Co away with this misuse of the ma- ■* chlnery it has provided.” Her Substantial People Uve at Home and Live Well - Town Improve ments Preston’s Hotel a Gem. Preston, the county seat of Webs ter county is looking up as a receiv ing point for cotton. The Farmers Warehouse Company has quite a lot of the staple in its fine new brick warehouse, erected and opened just In time for this season's operations. It is one of the best constructed cotton warehouses this section and promises to do profitable business from tbe outset. Already it has handled 351 bales cotton. There are two cotton warehouses in Preston. The old established ware house has handled about the same quantity as the new one, the ceipts of the town up to this time being about 700 bales. Preston’s Colton Receipts. “Preston" said a cotton man there yesterday,” is going to get back to its old position as a cotton point. We expect to have 2,000 to 2,500 bales handled at this point this sea son and 3,000 next year. "Webster county,” he continued raised nearly 6,000 bales of cotton last year. One year, Its banner year, the cotton production of the county was about 8,000 bales. We should have an average crop this year and turn out between 5,000 and 6,000 bales. Some of Its goes to Richland, some to Weston, some to Plains, some to Amerlcus, and we look for nearly half of It to come to Pres ton. That is what we are aiming for.” Town to Have A Park. Another Improvement noted in the county seat is a brick coping around the court houses square, which de' cldedly Improves the appearance of the place. It is intended to make a park of the grounds and by another year the appearance of the place will probably be considerably beau tified. Webster, the farmers at the court this week say, made an average crop of corn and oats this year, taking the county as a whole, and the people while not waxing rich are prosperous and contented, living largely off their places. Raise Their Own Supplies. "Webster,” said one well Informed man, “buys as little corn and meat In proportion to population as any coun ty in Georgia, and I believe it will buy less as the years roll around. “This country was intended for farmers who want to live off their places. They can easily raise all of the food for their stock and an abun dance of meats and other things for their tables. That Is one reason we have a contented people, who do not suffer from hard times when they come along. "We have no large farmers to speak of, but we have a class of farmers who enjoy life and are con tented. Hotel the Town's Pride. One thing that helps Preston Is Its fine hotel. Under the superb man agement of Mrs. Bell it is one of the most popular hostelerles in all south western Georgia, a favorite place with all travelers, tt Is the universal ex pression of the lawyers, traveling men and the public generally who enter Its hospitable quarters, that Preston should congratulate itself on the rep utatlon the town enjoys far and wide In tills respect. Jt would be a difficult matter to find a hotel where a more sumptuous table Is spread for the entertainment of Its guests. For variety of food and excellence of cooking the Preston hotel has main tained Its enviable reputation for many years. AMERICUS WANTS WILEY WILLIAMS When the next election for State prison commissioner takes place the voters of Amerlcus, practically to a man, will line up for Chief Wiley' Williams of C^umbus for a place on the commission. Mr. William 13 fully .capable and thoroughly qualified for the duties of the position, his long term of service as police chief afford ing him abundant opportunity to study tbe criminal class with which, os prison commissioner, he would come directly In contact in passing upon crime In all Its phases. He is a south Georgian and a genial gen tleman who would reflect highest credit upon the office to which he as pires. As an oyster is protected by its shell, so are Oysterettes Ml'CII CONCERN FELT.

Manufacturers are unable to furnish a press except on long time orders. Before the next business season rolls around it is Intended to have a fine new press and make the Times-Recorder eight page seven column paper.

Amerlcus Police Are Asked to Assist In Unraveling Mystery of Miss ing Gems. file Judge Uses Forceful language, Judge W. B. Simmons of Flncastle, Va., told the reporter that L & M. Paint was used on his residence in 1882, and held its color well for 21 years; he furthermore said that years ago he was Induced to use an other paint and is sorry he did, be cause the other paint didn’t make good. The Judge will also use L. & M., because he knows if any defect exists in L. & M. Paint tne bouse will he repainted for nothing. The L. & M. Zinc hardens the L. & M. White Lend and makes L. & M. Paint wear like . Iron for 10 to 15 years. Actual cost of L & M. about $1.20 per gallon. Donations of L. & M. made to churches. Sold by George Oliver, Amerlcus JUMPED A CONTRACT; JUMPED TO GANG Roy Alexander belongs to that class of negroes who think at per fectly legitimate to secure advances from a farmer, under a contract to work with him, and then jump the game. But Roy worked it once too often, and as a result he jumped from the contract to the chalngang yester day on two charges. Ho is now un der an enforced contract with SupL Paschal, signed by Judge Crisp, and will do twenty two months real hon est work on the county roads. An Amerlcus lady Is deploring the theft of seven hundred dollars worth of diamonds and other valuables, and while Chief Feagin and his men are lending every assistance in the search, the lost articles have not been found. And the probability is that they will never be located. For the good reason that they were stolen from a trunk In transit; and no one can tell at what point en route it might have been opened and robbed. An accurate description of the missing gems is In possession of the police, and while they are, necessari ly, upon a cold trail, every effort will be made to unravel the mystery of the rifled trunk ami the stolen gems. The lady was returning to Amerl cus from her summer trip and put the diamonds In her trunk, which was securely locked and In addition wrap ped tight with cords. When delivered at her residence the trunk seemed all right. There was no indication of its hav ing been tampered with. But the gems were missing when the ‘‘lid” was taken off, and are still missing. The loss was reported to the railroad company and to the pp- llce department as well, but all at tempts at solving the mystery have failed so far. The trunk came a distance of suv cral hundred miles and may have been transferred two or three times en route. Millionaire Evangelist Crittenton, who is known throughout the world for his great evangelistic work, was In Amerlcus Tuesday, coming from Ellavllle, where he assisted recently in a fine meeting.
