PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY. Subscription SI.00 A War in ADI'IXCE. Eliaviile. Ga. Thursday. May 14,1891. MILTON J. KENT, Editor. Judge Fort is having court at Ogle thorpe this week. In 1843 the i< e cream freezer was in vented by woman. She is running it yet. Rev. J. II. McGeehee has taken edito rial charge of the West Georgia News editor Dixon having resigned. A proposition to reduce the passenger rate from 3 to 2 cents a mile througnout the state is being endorsed by every one. The summer excursion rates on all the railroads composing the Southern Pas senger Association go into effect to-day. The Atlanta Journal suggests. That the next time Mr Harrison sends Blair off he will do well to send stamps for re turn Now that sugar is duty free, will it not be more economical for confectionery manufacturers lo use it, than glucose at three cents per pound?. President Harrison is being royally en tertrined out in Colorado. The smelters of Leadvilie presented him with a silver brick weighing eighty ounces. The exact appropriations of the fifty first Congress were one billion, thirty eight million, forty-seven thousand,eight hundred and twenty-six dollars. Does this show advancement or is it putting the farmers deeper in debt? The Georgia farmers are using 12,000 tons more of guano this vear than last. «4 The J adisonian came out 1: st week in glowing colors. The “spring edition” was a credit to its management and a splendid advertisement of a growing town. The Alliance is backed by a power and principle that, when it wires will make the professional politician hunt a cyclone cell and take an umbrella with him.— Bill Nye. Capt. Fletcher Sneed of Oglethorpe died Friday at noon of appoplexy. Capt. Sneed was well known throughout this part of the country and his death is sad ly mourned by many. Statistics show that two thirds of the distillers, seven-eights of the brewers and five-eights of the retailers of intoxicants in the United States are foreigers. At the rate they are pouring in a t present, the country will be a saloon before long. Some gate should be closed. The World's Fair convention which met in response to a call of Gov. Nor then, last Wednesday advised an appro priation of $100 000 by the legislature to the Georgia exhibit at tlie Fair in 93. It is safe that Georgia will have a good ex hibit at the Columbian Exposition. It is estimated that 6,000 acres are planted in melons along the Southwes division of the Central railroad. The to tal acreage in the State is about 20,000 acres which exceeds that of last year about 8.000 acres. The reports show that the crop is in good condition, and and iht* piospects are fair for the largest crop ever made. The bachelor editor of theTliomasville Times is responsible for the following: “Toe matiimnnial epidemic appears to be abating. The danger period has prdba bly passed, but as 'eternal vigilance is t it 1 iiit of libeitj, it would be well to use-uh precaution, yet. Trouble may break out m an unexpected quarter, a’d at a lime when least looked for Be ware !** While aiding the town marshal in ar resting a desperate negro, Toni* Hardin at Seville a small town on Hie S. A. M. raiload, on Saturday Mr. D. D. Loyed was shot and instantly killed, and Mr. E. L. Edenfield received a bullet wound in the thigh which may prove fatal. The negro made his escape. The difficulty grew out of the negro refu ing to pay a fine imposed upon him by the mayor. THE OPPOSITION TO CRISP. Jones of The St. Louis Republic, has done his work well. There was a time when some of the more sensitive friends of Congressman Crisp were willing to suppose tiiat tiie attacks of Jones would have a tendency to injure his chances for the speakership, but that time is now past As the Constitution predicted from the first, the attempts of Jones to cast doubts on the democracy of Judge Crisp have helped kina in all quarters, and we believe that those who were read iest to rush to the defense of the distin guished Georgian would be glad if Man nikin Jones could be induced to continue his vicious slander. For one thing, the slanderous attacks of Jones have caused those who a,re inter ested in the matter to look up the tariff record of Judge Crisp, and they have tound it to be as bright as the brightest. Nothing whatever is found wanting in all his congressional record. It is a rec end that stands out with a man behind it a man of character and conspicuous intellectual power. To Judge Crisp was assigned the duty of managing the contested election cases for the democrats. It was a duty that required all the qualities of leadership— tael, discretion, courage and knowledge of parliamentary law, that Judge Crisp had developed. From his successful contest with tyrant Reed to his great tar iff speech in Boston during the campaign, the Georgian has demonstrated his entire fitness as a democratic leader, lie caught the eye of the public, and lias held it ever since. It is no wonder that tariff reformers of the north and east have endorsed his rec ord. It is flawless in its democracy, and something else besides. It is the record of a man of intellectual force and | tower, a borri leadei of men. When the time comes it will be found that the factious and slanderous opposition of such men as Jones lias practically solidified the democrats in his favor.—Constitution. One of the most important subjects ever brought before the Alliances, and one that is perfectly legitimate for tlwm to decide, is the acreage planted in col ton. Yet it appears that there has been very little concert of action on the sub ject* A few individuals seeing the mis take in planting too much cotton have cut down their acreage, but as a body there has been no action whatever. Re ports now show that the acreage is fully as large as last year, and that it is suppli mented with one million bales more in sight than at this time last year. This is just about the same as saying that farm ers will get six cents for their cotton next fall, which will put them worse off than they have been. The Alliances and brother hoods of farmers throughout the country had it in their power to increase or decrease the acreage of any crop. They were advised as individuals and as bodies by the best farmers and deep est thinking men of the country that the low' pri -e of cotton was due greatly to the enormous vield and that the only so lution to the problem was smaller acre age. Speeches have been made, letters ami editorials written, resolutions passed and yet the crop of 91 is as 1 rge if not larger that that of 90. The relief is with the farmer, but the remedy has not been applied in 91, An exchange says: A perfect town is that in which you see the farmer patron izing the home merchants, the laborers spending the money they earn with their own tradesmen, and all animated by a spirit that will not purchase articles abroad if they can be bought at home. The spirit of reciprocity between rnor chant and the mechanic, tradesman and laborer f inner and manufacturer results every time in making the town a perfect one lo do business in. “Perfection’’ should always de desired, even where at tainment is barely possible, v e presume, but a perfect town must be denominated a great rarity'until we reach a more ad vanced stage toward the millennium than has yet been gained. From a communication in the Madiso nian headed “Rutlege Business Men” we clip the following: “Mr. J. W. Dickerson is a young man w ho came to Rutlege and begun business on January 1st. He has identified hiin self with her people, and is to day doing a good business. He bundles everything usually found in an ordinaly store, and his prices are as low as the lowest.” Mr Dickerson is an old Schley county boy. well known in Eliaviile*. He was raised on a Schley county farm, is a self made young man and his many friends throughout the county will be delighted to learn of his success. Dr. J. B. Cranfield of Texas introduc ed a resolution in the Baptist convention at Birmingham calling on the World’s Fair management not to open its gates on Sunday. The resolution WlW UlUlUi mously carried. SCHLEY COUNTY NEWS. A COUNTRY NEWSPAPER. If you have anything to sell that com mands trade outside of your own city, use the country newspaper. In the country newspaper you have a reliable and effective friend that does its mission at more family firesides than do many of the ineti ipolitan dailies. In the country weeklies the marriage bells toll more joyfull than in the great city papers, and when the columns of such a home paper tell us that some hum ble person has gone from the world we read with tears, for he was our neigh bor and friend. The country newspaper is not only a business guide, but it is a pulpit of mor als for the entire community and county in which it is published. It is a kind of public rostrum where the affairs of state are considered; it is a supervisor of the treetsand roads; it is a social friend, a promoter of friendship and good will.— Ex. 1I05V THE ALLIANCE IS LOADED. The Farmer's Alliance is like a proper ly loaded gun. The powder is tariff reform, rammed dmvn with a Ia Ver of more paper money, - ’Ahe charge of shot represents free silver and tlie wadd inf? thereon our sub-treas ur v bi!1 - To do effective execution in - ,iirks of our enemie s, entire charge must be fired at once. This is just what vve will do in the next national cam paign, To secure the vote of the alli ance vou must accept the whole load, and not try and draw any part of it. To nomi nate Cleveland on tariff reform alone would be but a flash in the pan, for not enough votes would be knocked down to elect him,—Southern Alliance Farmer. The legislature of Louisiana voted to submit to popular vote a constitutional amendment re-chartering tlie Louisiana State Lottery. The governor vetoed the act and tlie amendment did not go to the people. Now the Supreme court lias decided that the governor had no authority ei ther to sign or veto it. and the secretary of the state is ordered to submit the amendment to the people. It will likely be ratified, but its legal validity cannot interfere with the federal statute prohib iting the use of the mails for lottery pur poses. Hence the company will gain nothing by the new charter. The Journal in speaking of the tent meetings being held in Atlanta says: “Evangelists Culpepper and Williams uithd by the pastors all the evangelical churches of the city are conducting a se ries of the most remarkable revival meet ings “vey held in Atlanta. Immense crowds throng the tented tabernacle and the public interest shown in the work i. unprecedented.” There has been a grand temperance-rally and every thing is getting in good shape for the prohibition election which will be held soon. The result will be watched with a great deal of interest by people all over the Union. The Alliance of Arkansas has secured tlie passage of a joint resolution in the legislature of that state in favor of the election of United States Senators by the people, and it lias been approved by the governor. But tbs Arkansas Alliance, legislature and governor can’t change the constitution of tlie United Slates. The Baptist convention at Birmingham closed yesterday. It has been a big week for the Baptist of the South.
