The idea is a splendid on**, and we hope the suggestion will be grasped at once. Strikes are increasing at an alarming rate, both in this country and abroad.

A meeting was held Saturday in Albany, at which a perma nent state organization was formulated. They claim their organization is gotten up not as a revalutionary concern, hut simply to protest against injustice. They will support Ilill or any one else the Chicago convention nominates. Mr. Samuel K. Johnson, of Granger ville, has rented a house in Ellaville and will move Ins family there tomorrow. Mr. Johnson is a good eitizen and we are sorry to lose him, but what is Mac >n's loss is Schley’s train. His business will be continued at Grangerville by his sou m-law Mr. W. J. Cloud.—Macon County Citizen. When Senator Carlisle, of Kentucky, delivered his masterly argument in the United States Senate against the obs noxious force bill the writer, who was at the time connected with the Tal lahassee, Fla., Tallaliasseean, suggested that “J. G. Carlisle, president of the United States would not sound bad.” The Courier-Journal is now whooping him up for all it is worth, which means the Kentucky statesman has a lighting chance. Col. Watt.erson is hereby fieri we intend knocking the vvind out of his sails, if Mr. Carlisle gets there, by detuanuing the highest (salaried) office within t egiftrf the president, as com pensation for bringing him out.

Atlanta furnishes a slight sensation th s week in which a Baptist preacher plays a prominent part. It appears one McCord aud his wife had been hoarding with the ltev Mr. Brewer. The latter's attention to Mrs. McCord were of a more friendlv nature than her husband cared to tolerate, so Monday morning when he went down for breakfast lie pounced upon the parson evidently intending to distigure his handsome face—the sup posed cause of the mutual attachment— but the parson turned the scales and in less time than it lakes to write it had Me Cord's countenance so badly punctuied his mother would not have recognized him as a kinsman of heis. In addition to nursing his wounds a justice of the peace decided a few hours later the in jured husband must Appear before the superior court to answer to a charge of assault ami battery and put him under Kind for his appearance. It Mr. Brewer is as successful eoi.q wring rebellious sinners as husbands his success in the Vinyard of »he Lord is assured. PKIMA KY ELECTIONS. At its meeting in Atlanta this week, as will l>e seen in another column, the slate democratic executive committee declared in favor of primary elections. By this expression the committee has demonstrated its willingness to work for the best interests of the whole party and not any clique or ring that may have controlled things in days gone by. We are glad to note this fact. Tin method of nominating by prima ries is a just one, gitting, as it does, a lair expression from the masses of the democracy of their choice for the different offices and we hope to see it adopted in all the counties in the State. There will de no just cause for any sane man to kick and cry out, “ring rule,” if this is done. A BRIGHTER OUTLOOK. The Times-Recorder of the 1st inst published the following which will apply to all other sections of the South as well as Americus; New York bankers complain that money is a glut in the market, a d too cheap. It is hoarded up in the banks and averaged less than 2 per rent, on call last week, while loans for six months com manded only from 3£ to 4 per cent. Bor rowers hold out for low rates and brokers say there is scarcely any demand for money. While this condition of affairs exists in the East and West the South has stif f-re 1 terribly from a money stringency during the past few months’. But it is pleasing to note that the signs of the times show a decided reaction, and the tide of financial and resultant business activity is beginning to turn Southward. With the coming of spring, local com mercial circles report a very decided change for the better, while building and other industrial interests have briskened up considerably. Many other minor im provements in business circles are to be seen, which demonstrate the fact that many people with money have unshaken faith in the great future of Americus. The Times-Recorder believes that with in the next six months Americus will begin a new growth greater than that which has marked it for the last four The signs all point that way. With a plethora of money at the East, it is bound to come Sou h tor investment,. If so, Americus will come in for her full share. 0 • • THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES. In our is lie of Febinary 12th we an nounced that Janies G, Blaine would not be a candidate for the nomination of president at the hands of the repub lican party. That announcement was inspired by a letter addressed to the re publican national executive committee, by Blaine himself, doclining to become a candidate, From later developments, however, we are led to believe that let ter signified nothing in that direction, and was issued possibly as a feeler ol the public pulse. The latter conclusion is arrived at partly from the tenor of the republican press comments arid the unnecessary steps Blaine has taken to defend his sou for cruelly deserting his young, wife, leaving her almost penniless, The secretary has always be?D consid ered a great statesman and a pretty slirewed politician, hut if Ids statesman ship don’t take a big tumble in this in stance then vve are very much mistaken in the ways of the world. has furnished the associated with a long letter, which has been pub lished m almost every daily paper m the whole Union, upholding the unmanly act of his son and clouding the name ol tfie defenseless girl whom lie (Blaine, jr) but recently led totheaberaml solemnly obligated himself to honor and protect through life, The reason for all this, after time had stilled the tattling tongues of gossip mongers, is obvious. His long foresight told him that Harrison’s friends would rkeupthiso d faintly scandal to use against him in the coming struggle. avoid this lie undoubtedly decided lead the general public to believe he did not want the nomination until the fami ly troubles had been shifted from son’s shoulders to his unhappy wife’s, whey the chances for securing the ination would oe much better. But his little scheme won’t work. Mrs. James G. Blaine, jr., has promised the public a full statement in reply, and when a woman appeals for public sytu pathy she generally gets it.
