FOR CONGRERH i IION. H. a. TURNER. The Georgia state fair opens at Macon on Oct. 25th, and closes November 4th. The anti-snappers in New York city have contributed $100,000 to the demo cratic campaign fund.—Albany Herald. Mrs. Harrison grows weaker daily and no hope is entertained of her recov ery. The president rarely leaves her. The Homestead striking rioters are to be tried for treaton. If convicted a quie tus will be put on strikes of that future. The prohibition vote this year in three states from which returns are in is as fol lows: Maine, 3,800; Vermont, 1,045; Arkansas, 1,200. The celebration of Columbus Day in New York city on the 12th was proba bly the grandest civic and military par ade ever witnessed in North America. Franklin county, which was the few, lonesome counties in Georgia to return a majority for the jieople's party, is to have its election contested liy xhe democratic executive committee. The republican boodle campaign in New York will hardly materialize this year. Inspector Byrnes says that anyone caught buying vote* will be dealt with harshly. Bribery is a penitentiary of fense.—Albany Herald. General Weaver carried out bis inten tion of speaking in Pulaski, Tenn., list Saturday. After working the public mind up to a fever beat of expectancy the daily press had nothing to report but Pulaski's apparent imlifTerence to the visit of her ex-tyrant. TbeTe will be no fusion at the Novem- 1 her elections of the republicans and popu lists. That is the decision of the selected candidates. Mr. Cleveland, Mr. Whitney and Mr. E. C. Benedict have each sent a check for #10,000 to the national democratic committee.—Savannah News. The situation in Alabama is ominous in the the extreme. The arrest of the probate judge and circuit clerk of Bul lock county on charges of violating the election laws has aroused the indignation of the democracy of the state. The Bir mingham Age-Herald says “all Alabama is outraged” by this action of the popu lists. Whether the leaders of the peo ple’s party will have the hardihood to proceed with further threatened arrests of election officers is the anxious ques tion in the minds of the lovers of jteace. BANKRUPT REPUTATIONS. Under the above caption the Dawson news bewails the present political cam paign methods, and, looking into the fu ture sees, though dimly, the day when “honest men may get justice and strug gling newspapers, trying to be right, will be heard.” We have not the beautiful faith of our good democratic friend in Terrell county for we firmly believe that so long as there are political parties fighting for su premacy, each will tell lies on the other. He says: Men with the best possible reputations, with characters for a whole lifetime above reproach, are designated as common liars. The campaign for the past year or two lias swept from good men reputations which they have been years and years in building up. A gentleman whose life lias been beyond suspicion wakes up some morning to find his reputation for truth and decency gone, and in its place wild and mad men have manufactured a special character for him. The News is not so good as to escape i share of the Niagara of abuse which is sweeping the country, or so bad as to de serve it. We may not l>e impartial, hut we go on no premeditated excursion of lying, and those readers who have follow ed us for years ought not now, because of party feeling, sufTer themselves to be led otr in to such belief. They at least ■ should kuow us better. In some future day perhaps, God knows how long first, ineu and papers will be judged by what they are, and not by what the inflamed senses of an angry people unjustly make them. When most sovereign reason, now like sweet bells jangled out of tune and harsh,” shall resume her sway honest men may get justice and struggling newspa pers, trying to be. right, will be heard. duetkra of 8 to 10 per cent. In the scale of wages for wire drawing for 1801 and 1593k Also that a large number of wire and cut nail mills are shut down. 5. It aajs: “The Continental tube works, at Frankstown and Pittsburgh, havA dosed down far an indefinite period," because “the firm did not feel justified in buying ikelp iron in the open market at the recent advance in prices.” G. “On account of the -depression in the iron market, the Isabella Furnace Ca, operating the Isabella furnace at Etna, Pa., have banked down one stack and will probably lank another daring the present weelc” 7. “Addyston Pipe works, the largest in the country, have posted a notice of a shut-down for an indefinite period.” 8. “The Dunbar Furnace Ca, at Don- bar, Pa., operating the two Dunbar fur naces, closed them down on Saturday. July SO, for an indefinite period.” Closing down due to the “present de pression existing in the pig iron trade.” 9. The Keystone Horseshoe Ca, oi Philadelphia, have started upon three- fourths capacity after a shut-down of three weeks, during which time the workmen concluded to make the re quired “concessions" necessary to re sume work. 10. Recent advances, amounting to S3 and $4 per ton have been made in struct ural steel. 1L There is a “better tone to prices" of barbed wire and “some of the manu facturers have withdrawn their quota tions.” 12. “It is estimated that about 15,000 men are now idle, causing some eighty buildings in course of construction to be tied up" in New York City. 13. “It is estimated that during the present month a perceptible increase in prices will be noticed” for window glass. The Iron Age attempts editorially to explain the grave necessity which ex ists for “the leveling of wages” in the iron industry. It says both prices and wages have been on an artificial basis, and that “with the disappearance of artificial values the artificial standard of wages also falls.” These items—such as occur every week—give a fair idea of industries propped up by a tariff. Unsteady and fluctuating prices and production, com binations of capital to restrict produc tion, raise prices and reduce wages, la bor unions to resist the reductions., strikes boycotts and labor riots—all paid for in the end by the consumer who votes to sustain this unnatural and unhealthy system of providing for wants. Tk* Growth ofOwr-Utxk School. £our years ago our public school ac commodations for thewhite pupil* consis ted of four rooms, with four teachers in charge. Two yean ago the number of room* grew by necessity to six, with six teachers, besides the principal. The present session opens with 280 pupil* distributed through seven rooms, which | fill* them to their utmost capacity. New pupils will apply for admission steadily through the foil and winter, which will {necessitate the opening of another room and the employment of an additional Iteacher. It looks as if Waycross were determined to outgrow her educational facilities, despite the efforts of her zeal ous board of education: Since writing the above we learn that the utmost limit of the seating capacity of the rooms now occupied has been reached and fresh ap plicants for admission have been ^turned away. The board intend however to at | once employ an additional teacher and open up the remaining room in the tension. read 3d page 4th column LEGAL ADVERTISEMENTS. WARE OOC3STY.

Editor Howell is being called to account by the New York World for his position on the silver question. This is what the World say* of Mr. Howell; He has read the democratic platform adopted at Chicago, and he write* in fovor of free silver coinage, directly dis puting what the platform says and Mr. .Carlisle says. If this is not treason to the democratic party, what is it? The Birmingham Age-Herald takes this gloomy view of it: When Col. Alex. McClure spoke of the “maggots of monopoly,” he coined an alterative phrase that will live with Cleveland’s “a public office b a public trust,” and Lincoln’s “Government of the people, by the people and for the people.” These “maggot* of monopoly” fatten and batten on the body politic in the dark, while the people sleep. Their presence b a sign that honesty is decay ing, that the government b rotten, and that the love of liberty b feeble. The idea of pumping coal through a pipe from Pennsylvania to New York would seem impracticable, but a company has been organized for that very pur pose. 1 he coal will be ground into a fine powder, mixed with a sufficient quant- tv of water and forced through pipe* into a big tank at the New York end. The coal dust will be allowed to settle in the tank, when the water will be drawn off, and the coal compressed Into foel bricks. Coal has” gone up” again. Not be cause there is a scarcity of it but because the “Combination” orders it. The com bines of capital hare broken open the treasury vault* of nature, seized upon the geologic treasure* where the mighty for ests of antediluvian ages are stowed away as a ready made providence for man, and they have said, even thb bounty of the Almighty we will dole out not according to the need* of man or to the cost of pro duction, but according to our extorting power.—Unity. Valdosta has anew paper The Teleucope of which Miss Florence Williams is edi tress and proprietress. The paper makes a neat pleasing appearance, has \ literary tone than the general newspapers, and is, we judge, devoted to a certain extent to woman’s work and achievements. Thb is natural and laud able and we wish Miss Williams every success. Tk* “Raucy Hawks" Wins. The race was between the Central railroad and the E. T. V. & G. from Jacksonville to Atlanta, last Tuesday. Both trains were propelled by compound economic engines, the Central having the much admired “Nancy Hanks,” who carried her victorious passengers into Atlanta 45 minutes ahead of the East Tennessee. A WEEK’S RECORD. Treats Formed. Mill* Closed. Price* Rained sad Wagw Reduced to Artificially Stim ulated Industrie*. ‘ It is the claim of protectionist®—as •idicnlon* as it is general—that protec tion tariffs tend to destroy monopolies and trusts, to increase production, to lower prices and to raise wages. * Tariff reformers take a different view on all these points and base their opinions leas upon the theory and more upon facta, that is, they have recently called the attention of the country to a list of 100 tariff trusts; to a list of 500 wage reductions in protected industries since October, 1890; to hundreds of articles on which both the duty and the price have been Increased; to hundreds of mills and factories closed by these tariff traits to restrict production, and to numerous other similar facta. Readers of trade papers come across a multitude of facta on the tariff reform side of this question. Hero are & few takefc from the weekly Iron Age of August 4, 1892. It should be remembered that the great est of all protected industries is that of Iron and steel manufactures: 1. It publishes a list of eight big iron and steel combines and of several smal ler ones of recent date. These embrace the manufacture of steel rails, struct ural steel, crucible and open-hearth steel, steel billets, wire rods, yrire, wire nails, boiler and tank plates, armor plates, cut nails,, slabs, pig iron, bar iron, etc. 2. It dlecn—** “the tactics of the coal combine,” which has advanced prices of anthracite coal several times daring the last few months and which will con tinue to males advances from “time to time in a sort of arithmetical progres sion, with the apparent, if not openly avowed, design of reaching a certain maximum—say. $5 a ton for stove—’be fore the snow flies.* ” Of course the duty on hi coal, which competes with anthracite, makes it easier for the coal combine to reach “a certain definite maximum." A It says, “The latest combine in the mercantile world is a fur pool with 810,000,000 capital, in which nearly all the firms in. the trade have become in terested.” This is the George W. Tread well trust which baa a monopoly of the seal fur industry of Alaska and also of the dyeing of furs, and which can adjust prices in this country up to the limits of a duty. «. It announces firmer and upward A Millenium Overdue. It has been nearly two years since our present tariff act went into effect It was to encourage industries and pro vide work for all f»t higher wages. An era of peace and plenty was to follow. There was no doubt about it But what has been our experience? Besides thousands of strikes, over 500 wage re ductions in protected industries have been reported. At the present time there arc labor riots in Pennsylvania, New York, Tennessee and Wyoming, and the militia is on guard in three states. At no other time in our history have there been so many ready to fill any vacancies that may occur in the ranks of labor. If it were not for senti ment and fear 100,000 men would be begging for the places of the 3,000 strikers at Homestead. And this is the condition of labor in spite of our big crops and high prices for them, would not be fair to blame McKinley for all this—the excessive heat of this summer, or the democratic house thousand other things may have tempo rarily unsettled business and working men’s minds. Such unforseen events as these would upset the best laid plans. But how many years do you think it would take, major, before your pet measure will begin to usher in the wage earner’s promised millenium? Dora to Jack—Come over and see our new lamp. It turns down beautifully. —Life.

Macon, Ga., Oct., 1892. Indian summer lias lured the majority of summer wanderers back to the city, and the cool autumn winds seem to have invigorating effect on the people gen erally. Pedestrians move briskly along the streets and everyone has a busy, wide-awake air. C’ptton is coming in every day and the price is a little higher than was expect ed, which, of course is a matter for re joicing among both city and country people. The congregation of the Jewish’ tem ple, Beth Israel, are planning the erec tion of a new and larger house of wot ship. Rabbi Farber is a very learned i, and will begin a series of lectures the intellectual development of the Jews. The Jewish population of the city is large and prosperous; the majority of. them bring numbered the best and most relia ble citizens. A11 the schools have opened with an overflowing attendance at each. The public schools are the pride of the city and the board of education has reason to congratulate itself on the completeness and handsome appearance of the new Whittle school building, an immense of brick just finished. The college opened the last week in September with students from all parts of the state. The “Organized Charities” have reor ganized with a good bank account and more than a hundred members. This association does a vast amount of good to the poor and distressed. Its highest hope is to build a free hospital. The Knights of Pythias have begun the erection of a new lodge building to be known as the Pythian Castle. - Society has gathered itself together after the long summer season, but as yet,' amusements are not numerous. The Log Cabin club takes the lead in high circles. The recent gathering in its hos pitable halls have been an oyster roast and a fox hunt. The fox hunt was sport • the hunters left the L/>g Cabin at 4 a. nuy- following tlie hounds for miles over the surrounding hills and moon. There was no fox, only a drag which served quite the same purpose. After the hunt the party returned to the Cabin where a sumptuous breakfast was served.
