A { gap* ■ ... / J> <U ®hq Jjrcld and ^dpytigqr, Newnan, Oa., Friday, May 16, 1890. .TAN. K. BROWN, KlUTOIt. The Congressional Campaign Rooms to lag in the Fourth district, nml hut lit tlo interest hns been manifested thus far, even by those who are gener ally most active in stirring the political pot. Judge Sam Harris hns been fre quently spoken of as a probable candi date for Congress, and as one well quali fied to contest Mr. Grimes’ claim to a t bird term; but up to this time ho has made no public announcement, and his friends throughout the district are yet iu the dark as to what direction his am bition lies. Ho lias been suggested in very complimentary terms for the va cancy soon to occurr on the Supremo 4'ourt bench by the retirement of Judge -Mark illanford, and there is no question but that lie would be a strong and pop ular candidate for this position. As yet, however, bo has fuiled to give sanction oven to this rumor, and con sequently it is not known whether be will lie a candidate for Congress, for the Supreme Court vacancy, or whether ha will conclude to remain in the oflieo which ho now fills with such distinguished ability. It is believed by some that bo is so wedded to tlio quiet routine of judicial life that lie cannot he easily lured into the Hold of politics, and this view is probably correct. At any rato, be lias made no announce- raent as yet, and this is as much as anybody Booms to know concerning his plans. 111 Troup county it is understood that Dr. Frank ltidloy will bo a candidate against Mr. Grimes; or, if not nn avow ed candidate, that a delegation favora ble to bis interests will bo sent to t.lio convention. Hon. W. Y. Atkinson is frequently and favorably mentioned in connection witli Congressional honors, also, and is almost daily in receipt of letters from friends in Meriwether, Heard and Troup urging him to make the race. He has not yet consented to do so, not withstanding the pressure that is being brought to lienr upon him, though lie would undoubtedly make a strong raco. Tim situation may clour up somuwliut within the noxt week or so, however, and if it should tlm Democracy of the Fourth district will see the liveliest campaign that lias been witnessed in this section of 1110 State for years. -Growth of the Presbyterian Ohurch. Tito General Assembly of the Presby terian Church convened at Saratoga Springs, N. Y„ on yesterday. This As sembly embraces 6,543 churches, with an aggregate uiemliersliip of 722,071. The ministerial roll numbers 6,780, in clusive of pastors and ministers without pastoral charge, college and seminary professors, editors, and others. The contributions of these churches for con gregational and benevolent work the past year umounted in all to nearly $1:1,000,000, and there were added to (lie communicant roll of the churches for the same period over 55,000 poisons. The General Assembly of the .South ern Presbyterian Church assembled yes terday, also, at Aslivillo, N. C. This Assembly embraces 2,321 churches, 1,145 ministers and 101,742 communicants, lb has over 100,000 scholars in its Sunday- schools nnd blble classes. During the last Assembly year the churches gave for all purposes over $1,000,000. The thirt y-second General Assembly of the United Presbyterian Church meets at Pittsburg, Pa., on the 28th mat. This Assembly lias over 000 con gregations, about 750 ministers, nnd its contributions average over $1,000,000 a year for ull purposes. The General Synod of the Deformed Church in America convenes at Anbury Park, N. J., on June 4. It embraces 546 churches, and 00,000 communicants. Tiik number of letters sent through the mails that fail to reach their desti nation on account of imperfect address is enormous, and reveals an amazing amount of ignorance and carelessness on the part of the senders. According to a report, of the Postmaster-General, during the year 1880 there were 377,007 misdirected letters received; 128,732 were held for want of postage; 10,110 which had been mailed without any ad dress at all; 21,8(18 containing drafts, checks and notes were received, with the enormous aggregate Value of their inclosures of over $7,000,000, which were restored to their owners. About two and a half million letters were destroy ed in the ofllce which could not ho de livered or returned to the writers. Hon. W. J. Northen comes of a good lino of fighters. His grandfather, Wil liam Northern, fought through the rev olutionary war. (’apt. Peter Northen, son of William, fought in the war of 1812. Just forty-nine years after, Cnpt. Peter Nortlion, then too old to he forc ed into war, volunteered, organized a company and entered with his sons, Wil liam J. nnd Henry, and his grandson, Jack Sharp, three generations fighting together for the South. Jack Sharp, who was only 10, lost a foot, died after (lie war, nnd is now buried in Oakland cemetery in Atlanta. Till? increase of tariff reform senti ment in the North during the past few years is something surprising. Within the last year over ono hundred tariff reform clubs have been organized in the State of Illinois nlone, and the fact that these clubs are non-partisan shows how earnestly the people are beginning to think in regard totliomatter. When a crying -evil like the present exorbi tant tariff, needs remedy ng, our He- publican friends may lie excused for breaking away from party lines. Tiik Augusta Chronicle, speaking of Gen. Evans’ refusal to run for Govern or, says: "Gen. Evans doubtless feels that he hears a higher commission than that of chief executive even of llie Em pire Stale. All men are not so consci entious, hut such a decision wai to ho expected of a man of Gen. Evans’ high Christian character. Politics nnd re ligion liavn been drearily confounded in Georgia already. Gen. Evans has sharply rebuked such a doubtful poli cy.” __________. IljiN. A. L. Mii.i.ku, Judge of the Macon Circuit, will not accept a free pass from any railroad, nnd honors himself nnd the high position which he occupies by so doing. How many other superior Court Judges are tlioro in the State who lmvo had the moral courage to put this temptation nwuy from them? Wo have no doubt there nro several, hut it would lie a matter of interest to the public to know just who they are. Tiik Montgomery Advertiser says: "Over in Georgia it now has the appear ance of a walk-over for Hon. W. J. Northen, the farmer candidate for Governor. He is a clean, able and hon est man, and thoro will be no risk in placing the reins of the Sluto Govern ment in his hands. The farmers honor themselves iu presenting such a man us lie is for public piece.” Op it latest information from Meri wether is to the effect that Hon. J. M. Terrell and K. I). Render, Esq., are candidates for the Senate, and that lion. A. J. Snolson, Dr. Jus. W. Taylor and a Mr. Campbell will contest for seats in the House. manufacture, and at prices much lower than could be done by foreign supplies, as is exemplified every day in our mar kets by the very low prices we are charged by our merchants, under our fostering tariff. Now, Mr. Editor, there is no analogy in a bounty on sugar and a bounty on cotton, and it seems to me that a man of Judge Stewart’s intellect could see that he would he both quibbling and trilling witli that great question in mov ing Hie amendment suggested above, ft is said (and it may be true) that we do not produce more than one-eighth of the sugar necessary for our consump tion, and therefore it is very important that wo encourage the production of j sugar in every way possible, so as to supply ourselves fully. The sugar in dustry lias been protected like all the rest of our industries; but from causes not necessary to state it has not in creased in production from year to year as iron, wool, woollen and cotton goods. Therefore, the tariff on sugar has borne Coimnunlcpted. "Ripples.” 1 think that "Ripples” may be safely put down as a candidate for the Legis lature. After noticing the article of “l’lehs” in 1’iik Herald and Advkr- TtsKK of the 2d inst. he goes nn to say: "However, 1 am in’the hands of my friends, as the candidate snv, and as no one else seems to e.ire anything about legislative honors, there may in; some chance for me. I -Inin <i lmte te sec the county go unrepre-eiited.” And in the 11st paragraph lie say-; "It anybody wishes i-> keow my vi.-vvs on the great issues that will come be fore the next Legislature, I am ready to give them.” He then gives his platform by saying: “I am for the whole people, rich and poor—hut more for the poor, down trodden farmers and laborers.” After reading his reply to “Plebs.” I think it can he safely said that “Rip-* pies” is a candidate, and the first one declaring himself as such. Voter. There is more catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years it was supposed to he incurable. For a great many years Doctors pro nounced it a local disease, and pre- very heavily on consumers of that ar-t scribed local remedies, and by constant- Tin-: iStuto Democratic Executive Committee will probably bo called to gether on the 21st, inst. Communicated. The Proposed Bounty on Cotton. In tho Atlanta Constitution of tho 13th inst. I find tho following from its Washington correspondent: "Judge Stewart said to-day that, Over 100,000 names are on the Sunday- wliilo he was not a believer in suhsi- hes, when the time arrived he intend ed offering an amendment to Hie tariff hill providing for a bounty of 1 cent per pound upon all the cotton produced in this country. He says ho is going to do it*to test the sincerity of the Republi can party. lie thinks if they give a bounty on sugar, they should do like wise on cotton.” In 1820 and 1824 tho tariff on raw cot ton was 3 cents a pound. In tho tariff of 1842 cotton had a duty of about 2 cents a pound, nnd the Democrats of that day ridiculed the idea of protect ing cotton. Tlioro are two objects in placing a tnriff on foreign goods imported into this country. First, to secure tho money to pay tho annual expenses of tho government; and, second, to develop all our re sources nnd make 11s independent of other nations as far as practicable, or, in other words, to produce everything that our climate and soil is capable of producing, and to manufacture overy- school rolls, and $1,300,000 was contrib uted last year for all purposes. Tlio friends of Christianity must bo gratified at the marvelous showing thus made, and Presbyterians especial ly. While the complete statistics of tho Southern Presbyterian Church nro not obtainable for presentation in this article, enough is known to warrant tho statement that it has kept pace with other Assemblies In the march of Chris- t ian progress, as well as in the muniil- ■eenco of its contributions for church purposes. ■ The State Experimental Farm. Georgia's experimental farm is proudly vindicating the wisdom of the Legislature that established it. Col. Redding, the affable superintendent, disposed of a moss of English peas in Griffin last week at remunerative prices. t'olumbus Enquirer-Sun. This is a fair example of the inutili ty of the experimental farm under its present management, and Hie farmers j t hing possible to us; and thus, instead of the State cannot hope to derive any of engaging in tlio production of raw practical bone tit from it until a change materials only, that we diversify our in is made. What the farm needs is a dustnos and manufacture as much of hoard of directors composed of practical j our raw materials as will at least sup- tanner.-, instead of tlie politicians, ply our own wants. This process would preachers, lawyers, school teachers and- take from any of the industries that tide. I must suy that the change made in the bill now before Congress—instead of encouraging sugar by a revenue tar iff, encourage it by a bounty, thus abat ing the tariff—meets with my approba tion. Under tho old (or present mode) a percentage was laid on every pound of sugar coming into the United States, tlio aggregTkto of which I believe amounts to about $54,000,000 revenue annually. The sugar industry in Louis iana .since tlio war has never reached tlio proportions of tlio ante helium pro duction. I have a statement of the pro duction of sugar in that State from about 1834 up to 188(1, inclusive, hut it has been mislaid, and I cannot refer to it. The largest production since Hie war, if my memory serves me right, was about 284,000 hogsheads; and for tho sake of this nrgument wo will sny the average production is 250,000 hogsheads. A hogshead weigliR about 1,500 lbs. and at 2 cents a pound the bounty would amount to $30 a hogshead. For the 250,000 hogsheads it would amount to $7,500,000, Now, deduct this $7,500,000 from the $54,000,000 revenue and it will appear Hint the consumers of sugar are relieved of $46,500,000 of taxes—no mean sum—and this, too, while sugar is still encouraged and rewarded. That, 1 think, an excellent stroke of policy, and exhibits good statesmanship. Now, for the bounty on cotton, ns proposed by Judge Stewart. Cotton, unlike sugar, is produced in this coun try to sucli an extent that we supply home demand and then export nearly two-thirds of our crc^i. The production of cotton in this country lias boon so great for the last several years that there lias been very little profit, if any, to the producer; and any stimulus given to its production would result in disas ter to the cotton grower. There is little doubt but that 1 cont bounty would raise our crop to eight millions of hales, which would result in n decline in price from 1} to 2 cents a pound;— wo will put it at 1J cents. Tlio bounty of 1 cont oil eight million halos would ho $40,000,000; while the decline in price would amount to $7.50 a hale, or $00,- 000,000, thereby operating a clour loss of $20,000,000 to tho producers. This stimulus going on for live years would force cotton down to 0 or 5J cents, thereby entailing ruin upon the indus try. What tlio cotton industry-needs is something to chock its rapid growth and raise the price tn 12ice»tsa pound. A reduction of ono million hales would accomplish Hint result. Six million hales at 121 cents would amount to $375,000,000, while seven million bnlesut 10 cents would amount to only $350,000,- (XX) -a clear gain of $25,000,000 on the six million hales. Supply and demand reg ulate prices. Renj. Leigii. Communicated. Coweta Should Arouse Herself. As a matter of county pride, and a duty wo owe to our worthy and distin guished citizen, Mr. J. U. Ilunnicutt, who is now a prominent and formidable candidate for the office of Commission er of Agriculture, 1 suggest that every man in this and adjacent counties, who has the good of his country at heart, write a letter to each and every friend throughout the State, requesting them to use their influence in behalf of Mr. Iiunnicutt’s candidacy. The time has come when tho farmers ought to look to their own interests; and when an opportunity presents it self for the promotion of one of their number, especially when the position sought is so intimately identified with their material progress, it is their duty to support him for otlice. It is acknowl edged that Coweta’s candidate for Commissioner is a man of sterling integ rity, practical ideas, and well equipped in every way for the position to which lie aspires. His election would not only reflect credit upon the people of Cowe ta. but tho commonwealth at large. | Mr. Ilunnicutt is now, and has been blood and mucus surface of tlio system.
