The apprehensions of race trouble at
An erieus Saturday pus ed away like
a mist lie fore a breeze. There was not
enough in it even to talk about.
' We frequently hear of an inevitable
war of races, but like a ghost, no body
ever gets a glympse of it. it is invisible
and exists only in a d started imagina
tion,
Messrs. R. C. Meadows and J. S. Dudley
went fishing in Usry’s mill pond one
night List week and caught between 50
and 60 pounds of fine fish mostly suckers
and trout. Mr, Meadows sold his for 10
and 12 cents per pound.

Our Spanisli-American cousins are al
ways bristling for a fight; news of a rev
olution in South America hardly creates
a ripple on the outside woild, so often do
t ley occurr. Only a few years ago,
president Barrios, of Gautemala under
took b}' force of arms to unite all the
neighboring republics under one govern
meat, but was killed in the first battle
after Ins proclamation. Now Gautemala
and San Salvador are again preparing to
make targets of each other.
C dutnbus merchants are making a very
commendable effort to Jsecrure a share of
Schley county’s trade and their effort is
meeting with success, Much of the
goods shipped to this place lately come
from that city. If Columbus dont de
velop into a great commercial city it will
not be the fault of her merchants. They 7
offer liberal inducemeats to secure trade
and advertise liberally to let the people
know that their patronage is invitee'.
Such enterprise deserves and will gain
success.
No man can afford to do without his

and happenings idl over the county, the

the special appointments of the

can find in no other paper, The low

This is a queer old world, it is made
up of two classes of people, one who
work and never think, another who

thinker lays before the worker his 7 most

TUESDA Y’S ELECTIONS.
Last Tuesday I ,roved a col<1 da P for
Harrison and republicanism. Virginia
snowed under Billy Malione by an over
whelming majority and the solid South
stands more solid than ever. New York,
New Jersey and Maryland rclle l up
large democratic majorities. Chicago
democrats elected their local ticket. The
Ohio legislature is democratic and it is
thought the entire State has thrown off
the yoke of Foraker and h>s protection
gang. The democratic gains were large
everywhere. In some of the States, no

IF WRONG, CORRECT US.
Mr. Reed, agent for the Columbus
Building and Loan Association was in
town the later part of last week trying
to get up a subordinate association here.
If we were going to join an out side asst -
ciation. we would feel much disposed to
give the Ct lumbus asssciation the pre
ference, but our people have very wisely
come to the conclusion that good works,
like charity, should begin at home and
if we go into such an organization it
must he purely local, that our own town
anil our own people may derive the ben
efits. So Mr. Reed’s visit was a failure
Tlirough no fault of his, however, nor
any objection to the association be rep
resents, except that it is a national or in
ti r-state affair. An association on this
plan is simply an experiment. No living
soul has ever seen one mature and we
have no positive proof that one will ever
mature.
Mr. Reed came back Monday, reinforc
ed by another agent, Mr. Smith, and the
two combined finally persuaded six of
our citizens to join their association, all
were elected branch officers as follow;:—
President, \V. D. Murray, Secretary and
Treasurer E. S. Baldwin, Directors Dr.
J. N. Cheney. Dr. W. H. Harp, Geo. P.
Suber, and J. W. Dickerson.
For a local organization these gentle
men would give satisfaction. A better se
lection of officers could probably not be
made in our town. We have heard many
citizens say they ould be willing to
join a local association with these gen
tlemen at the head. But a local branch
association is only 7 the tail of some
body’s else kite and where that kite will
soar to, in spite of our friends, the Lord
only knows. Local branch officers would
have no more power over the manage
ment of the moneys, which is sent off to
headquarters as fast as collected, than a
corporal has over the command of a
brigade. Our friends are honest and sin
cere no doubt, in allowing them selves
to be persuaded into this th ng, but we
are inclined to think they have made a
mistake, at any rate there is room for
doubt as to its advantages to Ellavi'.le,
and with the light of past expe
rience before us. the people of Schley,
we think, can afford to give them selves
the benefit of the doubt this time,
THIS SORT OF A COUNTY IS SCHLEY.

What a glorious country is Georgia.
No wonder the Georgia farmers who re
cently visited Ohio sav that all the nat

the year round we have good things.
b, ginning with vegetables in March and
April, we have strawberries and plums in
May, blackberries, watermelons, figs and
peaches in June and July 7 , pears and ap
s in August, scupperuongs, grapes,
muscadines and pomegranates in
tember, sugar cane in October and No

have, “possum and tuter,” backbones,
spare ribs, sausage, souse and other hog
killing doings. It's a regular fatty bread
time, a picnic, a feast of good things,
from year's end to year’s end. To name
‘»ver al the good things would fill a col
umn. We can grow anything needed
for mast or beast, for comfort or luxury,
except tropical fruits. And vve can do
it with so little labor or expense. If our
people were as industrious, thrifty and
economical as t lie people of Ohio we
would have a very paradise on earth,
