AN APOLOGY.
An AeuMent Catuvo Much Slaappolnt-
ment.
On account of an accident to the boiler
furnishing steam *o operate -he Tele-
graph's printing press, the Telegraph was
compelled to suspend printing yesterday's
Irsue after a few thousand coplea had
teen printed, thereby causing many peo
ple to miss their paper.
The accident Is deeply regrotted by the
publishers of the piper, who make this
explanation and apology.
A now boiler of greater capacity has
been put In and the paper win be Issued
hereafter even earlier than before.
OUT DOWN TO FACTS.
“Before tho tvur,” says Mr. Wutouu'a
paper, " cotton sometime* was as low
It* It Is notv. uud the South was pros-
Iteroue, blit then tho expenses of lilt!
uatloual govvrunivat, wli.t-h bad to bo
raised by taxing the people, were leas
Hutu fUO.Ol'jO.UOU, whereas now they
have Ineronaod to yit(jO,(JOO,(JUU nnuu-
nlljr.” Tills Is usctl la arguing Uic
caso of tlio Populist party, out It serins
lo un particularly inapplicable to tho
nunouneeil pulley of Hint parly. Does

ly. The bills lulroiliu-eil by :is mem
ber* In congress, nimust wlihau) ex
ception, culled for an euunnou* ex
penditure of money. lu gross, it las
been cstlmnlcd that they provided for
the expending of some.thug lUto fSO,-
000,000.000. Surely, luid they repre-
eented u parly Whose Idea was to in
crease the prosperity of the peopla hy
reiluclng the expenditures of the gov
ernment. they wod-al uot have bun.-
ducat! such hills. Wo ha Vo Mr. Wat
son's word for It, in thi seuienoud we
Have quoted, that tho exp-mo-v hr Hit,
government have to he raised by tax-
Tug the people. It may ho fairly said,
therefore. In view ot tho enormous ex
peudltun-s propo.i.t hy lit leaders that
the party proposes to lucceqso the
government's expellees nnd thereroro to
Increase taxation.
Further on, Mr. W.itmm's piper says
that “before tho war tho national
bonded Indebtedness was only nbont
*50,000,000, with pmatleally no olhtr
debts, whereas now the ted ».al govern
ment has mi lnten%t-bc-arlnjt debt of
Pl.iUlO,000,000, anil the state, lmm'.ra-
pul, oouuty ami other bonds swell tho
■Sgregate to nlwut *o,mrt>,dmui-'0. u<*
sides the private murtagago Imlehled-
iions. Is It a wonder Unit with all this
extra load to carry iho Mouth rann..t
prosper with cotton down to 5 cents
as she did before tlio .vnr wit t the sta
ple equally as low?’ No, unless bj
the use of capital she lias borrowed h-r
capacity to product* hns been more tlrnn
proportionately Increased. It that cap
ital has been unwisely mvcstoO, so
that It does not prAtluco tho Interest
she promised to pay, then the Mouth is
worse oft for having bolro.vod It. It
It docs produce rnorv than tho Interest,
then the debt Is not * burden, tu tho
sense- that It makes tho condition *of
our people Worse tlriu if It dhi not ex
1st nnd the capacity for production cr»-
atod by It were til*,, at.se'lt. We do
not care to give nn opinion a. ,j
whether or not this borrowed money
has Ixvu wisely US«1, hut whetlnr
wisely or unwisely used, wo sso no
way of getting rid of the debt honestly
exet-pt by paying It. In Iho luoamtme,
we »i-e nothing 'mt hunt to tho y. utu
lit, the threats of tho party of which
Mr. Watson is a leader to so d.-grado
the ourreney that thl* debt would he,
lu effect, wholly or p.tr'ir.lly rsptth-
nted. Such threats compel tho South's
creditors fo resort to baivlt uteostiten
to recover their capital at the earth st
possible memeul, nnd makes it 5m-
poegibl* for the Simthe.-u dobtor to se
cure rollef from the v.-op-o jest ohle
to help him. lie tally l»- au h.-u.»t
man, fully worthy of trust, but he can
not be exported, oven though he has
borrowed gold, to repay In gold,
if In the meantime a depre
ciated currency has become the
only money. Hie capitalist, therefore,
feels that he must protect hTiretf
while ho yet has ..i.poe.uu.ty to do
so, by getting bis tutaev Into bis pos
session again.
Mr. Watson's Vapor further stysihat
in the years inim-MItieiy emending
the war oar seotnu was prosper, rv.
If that is so, why did uot H it pr s.vr-
Hy manifest Itself in tl.e tax rent-nsJ
Why dhl not the farms gtW rich, 'n-
stead of getting -t eor ami fnr.i.er
Into debit Is *t lot <o that Ju-.'ng
these very year* too farmer* ,.f ii,e
South created * larger llKpart'oa ot
debt than during any other per,id , u
our history I rhe war dosed in ibe
sumiiier of '03 auj a *[iva; panic cc-
enrred In the fall of 73. This prosper
ous period of wii’.i-h Mr. Watson speaks
couhl not, therefere, have extended
over more thua six years. If It was
indeed * .pgt^jMfOa* period, why did
It end In such A fearful crash? 'Why
bate tax value* since tltcu, ns they did
not before, ulenlily Increased?
It Is poMlblu that during the six
year* lu quest'uu ther.f may hare been
a sort of tlctitloiis prosperity, based on
hope laxt.-j-l of Wusilh actually leal-
liad, as was the cav; recently in Ar
gentina. It Is nlst true, perhaps, Hint
a few men, n-d .-ngegi-d fn proiliiciivo
industries but in sipplylag the needs
of oilier men <o engiged, Wurb m-iually
prosperous-broker*, commission mer
chants, money leaders, etc., wo menu.
But most of jhese, even, were deceived
hy appearances, were caugut hy the
financial storm of is?3 and wrecked.
We think If Mr. Watson will look
for solid evidence of prosperity—the
evidence that actual ivenlth liae been
accumulated—lie will fluil that Hie
farmers of Georgia jmvii bmiu far mire
prosperous during years than
during Ibe six yeirs to which he refers.
LKT~OB QUIT CROAKING.
- It Is diilicuii vo estimate Dm effect
orf the practical affair* of ili-j business
world of the mental condition of men,
but it Is und mbiedly largo. When
men become ••irsvignatiii Hopeful In
I nisi ness affairs, losing sight of tho truu
operations mostly on hope, wo have
fuels of tho situation snd basing their
wlint is known ns a “boom,’’ shortly
to be followed hy a collapse that
knocks down cardboard fortunes quick
ly built up nnd reduces men who
thought themselves rich to poverty. A
few years ago there were numerous ex
amples of tho “boom" In tho Mouth.
Men were then over-confident. Tlio
reverse Is now the condition. Tlioro Is
u luck of confidence. Instead of over
estimating, men undent* limn to Iho
{’ttluo of Iho opportunities open to
them. They look to the future wlUi
dread, Instead of with supremo confi
dence that it has u fortune lu store for
them. Gloomy talk and iliuld action
hare taken tho plaeo of extravagantly
hopeful tnlk and rash action.
. Tim latter state of iuluil Is Just ns
unreasonable ns tho finger. As long
ns It continues prosperity can hardly
return In full measure to tho coiuitry,
because tho opportunities out of which
prosperity grows will rciunlu neg
lected. It Is about time, however, that
uieu should ccuso talking in tho glopmy
way that originated With the panic.
The conditions that produced tbn panto
have passed away, Constant "croak
ing'' can only prolong tlio period of
depression'by preventing the return of
Confidence. Tho circumstance* are
really such as to Justify meu In being-'
cheerful. Then why should tUey not,
talk cheerfully?, They will not only
he happier for doing an, .but' they will
be more truthful, nnd will contrllnuo
to the rescuing of the couutry speedily
from the lingering after-effects of tho
panic. Cheerfulness that Is reasonable
luis n money value n't u time like this.
It Is not n marketable article; perhaps,
hut every good cltlxen ought to ho wil
ling to contribute of It to tho publlo
welfare. ....

anxious people who were anxious to know
about the election. At night the Tele

crowd interested In the returns from all

In 1892 the Warrior gave Norlhen ?0
and Peek 81, nnd the Rutland gave Nor-
then 43 and Peek 6. It Is thought that a
larger vote was polled In this precinct
in yesterday’s election. Yesterday's vote
will fall short of 1892, when the total
Democratic vote was 2.858. and the total
Populist vote 328. The total vote was 3.186
and Northen’s majority was 2,430.
The apparent gain by the Populists Is
by no means a gain: in fact as they voted
more negro Republicans than they did
Populists and there Is no doubt but that
the Populists are not as strong as they
were a year agio.
The returns will be consolidated at the
court house at noon today, when It will
be found that the Democratic ticket has
been elected by a very large majority.
Hon. N. E. Harris received a large vote
for senator and it Is thought he will lead
the ticket.
The Democracy of Bttjb owes an ever
lasting debt of gratitude to Messrs. John
J. Noone, S»d R. Wiley and J.P P. Lowe
for their' hard and efficient services in
tho good cmiFff yesterday. These gentle
men had no hope of reward, nor did they
wont reward, but they worlce for the
good of the party at_the polls valiantly
all day, To them more than to any one
else is due the gratifying result of yester
day’s election.
One noticeable feature of the election
was the active work at the polls of Hon.
Charles L. Bartlett. He could be seen
on every side keeping a sharp lookout for
voters, and few of them passed him with
out voting the straight Democratic ticket.
A COLD-BLOODED MURDER.
A Feud of Long Standing Ends in tho
Killing of a Man.
New Orleans, Oct 3.—Ten years ago
Thomas Sweeney shot ond killed n
man by the name of Ferguson. Thl»j
afternoon a son of Ferguson, named
Joseph, shot and^ mortally wounded
Sweeney. Tho shooting took place in
an electric car on St. Charles aveuuo.
It was witnessed by a dozen people
and was one of tho moat cold-blooded
crimes that has occurred In this city
for some years. Young Sweeney was
motorman, and it was while he was at
his post of duty that ho was phot
down. Ho was attacked tvithout
warning, and before he realized what
was taking place his murderer had seat
three bullets into Ills head.
The feud between tho Ferguson nnd
Sweeney family dates back ten years.
It was on account of politics. The Fer
gusons claim that n man by the nnmo
of Hoppe Induced Sweeney, who was
shot today, to kill old man Ferguson.
A. year Later noppe was killed by a
brother of tho man who shot Sweeney
today. The murderer was arrested.
