“The Americus Recorder has been

How to Swsreed in Business.
Already the spring trade iz be
ginning. The indications point to
2 good season, with a plenty of busi- '
ness and a satisfactory chowing of '
profits. The general course of trade |
will bein the direction of harmony, |
‘confidence and general prosperity. ‘
The merchant will get along all
rightifhe knows ta capture custom. |
; The records of a century prove that |
the most success‘ul ru'e yet deviss i
ed consists of fair dealing and judi- |
cious advertising. No establish
‘ment can long continue on a hosis
ot fraud. It most deal honestly l
{ and hoaorably with its patrons,
' That scttled, it must get its cnnnl
" stituency. It can do this by adver

'trade. People buy where they ean
g be assured of good hargains at reas
| onable figures, and they are at
| tracted to theseplaces move by what
! they read than by any other way.
| There is another feature to this
‘Fl!‘)jt(‘f. People undoubtedly buy‘}
at places which advertise, not only
‘ hecause they are attracted by the
| advertisement, but heeause they
can get the best bargains at places
that do advertice. TLarge siles
\und small profits is the sceret of
success of every great retail estab- |
lishment in this country. Those
establishments were enabled to
‘make those sales, because they ad

Rl el
Weli Done Governer Gor on. |
A great crime and outrage wag
committed in Twizes county, Geors
gia, on the night of February 18,
The papers agree substantially as
|to the fucts. There was a eolored
{school on the farm of Mr. J. H.
t\Vard that a few white men dis
liked, and determined to break up.
' They disguised themselves and
l went to the house of Jerry King,
|a putron of the school, and unmer
icifull_\' whipped his two children.
| They next went to the house where
‘a colored girl, a teacher in the
| school, boarded, and being refused
lndmitt ince,broke the windows an |
doors, and fired guns and pistols
into the house. The gnl escaped
by hiding between the mattress
an< slats of her bed, in which sevs
eral bullete were found after the
party lett.
As soon as the Governor was put
in possession of the facts by ritis
‘zcns of the county, who conden.n
the outrage, he promptly offered a
’ reward of s2sofor the apprehension
of the parties who committed the
‘ foul @ssault. The Govorner evis
dently intends tostop all ““W hite
Cap' proceedinge in this State, and
we honor him for it. Such deeds
belong to a state ot barbarism, and
should have no place in a Christian
l commonwealth.
A Stupendous Job.
_ The taking of the National cen
sus is a stupcndous job, No less
than 45,000 enumerators will be
employed, besides a handred States
and district superyisorsand thouss
ands ot special agents,experts,chicfs
of divisions aund clerks all working
under the supervision of the Census
Commissioner. On the first Mons
day in June of rext year about
50,000 men will start out in quest
of informatioa. They will knock
at the door of every habitation in
the Uuited States during the
month, the enumerators in cities
| beivg required to complete their
labors in half that time. It is es~
timated that when all these reports
on population come in they will ex«
ceed in bulk 1,500 merchant’s led
gers, and that the reports on other
snbjects, such as taxation, schools,
lctc., would make a stack, it piled
|one about the other, twice as high
a 8 Washington's monument. The
cost will be about 86,000,000, or a
little less than 10 cents for each
inhabitant, big and little, of the
country. The greatest gains will
be in the West, but the South will
show to better advantage it point
lof per cent. of increase in both
| wealth and population han the

' Political Rumors.
! It is again rumored that Senator
Brown will resign in time for the
Georgia legislature to elect his
{successsr during the next summer
:sossion. This rumor assumes that
Gov. Gordon will be elected Sen
ator; then, of course President of
the Senate Dußignon will be gov
ernor until another election to fill
that office is held. Tt is further
agsumed that this condition will
make Dußignon the leading can
didate in 1890. Inany event, the
po:itical enimpaign in Georgia next ‘
year will be exccedingly lively,
Terrell at the Road Congress. I
The public roads of this county
are reported to be in a bad condi- 1
tion. Why should Terrell county
be asleep in this matter while 21l
around her is activity.? Especial
ly should this oot be the case when
a scheme is on toot for the better
mevt of her public roads. This
question concerns every citizen
within the county’s houndary, and
none should feel s 0 unconcerned
for the county’s good a 8 to pass it
by unheeded. The road congress
will soon assemble in Atlanta for
the purpose of discovering ways
for the better kecping of the pub
lic roa?s of our state. Terrell
should by all means be represent—
ed. Bear the road congress in
mind and send represcutatives.
Shail It Be Amended? ‘
There iz talk of having the reg
ietration law of this county amend
ed at the summer session of the
legislature 2o that each person will
be required to vote in hisown diss
trict The NEws is in favor of
the propose? amendment, as it
would have a tendency to purity
our elections, It would certainly
keep a large part of the voters
from massing at one precinet,
where they would be more or l.ss
cxposed to corrupt influences.
A Sfarmnlonj.fi Ahead.
R:v. Inl Hicks, whose success
ful weather prophesics have gained
i for him the confidence and respect
ot the American people, predicts
for the month of March great
‘storms, and says all concerned
should be prepared for suow and
sleet with cold rains. Mr. Hicks
further says there will ‘be great
electrical excitement trom the 12th
to the 17th. The month will go out
| with a storm, which conmimences on
| the 22d, continuing to the 28th ;
] the 23d, 24th and 25th being the
‘the worst day. The reverend
| weather prophetalso foretells earth
quabe disturbauces during the
month at about the moon's changes
We can all be prepared for bad
| weather, and if it should not cone
iwe will be none the worse off

His Southern Policy.
In regard to the much-talked-of
Southern pislicy, President Harris
gon iu his inaugural address rejects
the suggestion of any distinetive
policy for any section of the couns
try, but he signifies his approval
of the Sherman election billin lan
guage which can hardly be mizun
derstood. Thislaw,while generalin
its character, as of course it mmust
be, is intended to be sectional and
partisan in its application
With the machinery o
Congressional elections under Fed
eral control it is very easy for the
President to have a “Southern
policy” which will materially ditter
from his policy toward other sce
tions. And such a policy Presi
dent Harrison undoubtedly f{ore.

Can't You Win it 2
Here is a chance for some plo
gressive Terrell farmer to win §7.50.
