THE SITUATION.
As will be seen in our news columns
Col. C. B. Wooten has withdrawn
from the congressional race in this
district.
This announcement will be received
with sircere egret by the many friends
of Judge Wooten.
From the first the News and Ad
vertiser has expoused his cause and
labored hard bnd earnestly for his
election. We have believed him to be
an able man and one well qualified in
every way to carry aloft the banner of
Democracy and plant it firmly upon
the breastworks of the enemy.
But bis shattered health has made it
necessary for him to retire from the
race. The News and Advertiser
parts from him in sorrow for be Is an
able statesman and a noble conscien
tious gentleman.
His withdrawal leaves Democracy
without a standard bearer.
In many parts of the district Hon.
W. M. Hammond, of Thomasville, has
been urged to make the race, even be
fore Judge Wooten retired. Capt.
Hammond refused to oppose Col.
Wooten and expressed himself as
being willing to work for Col. Wooten.
Now that Col. Wooden has retired,
the many friends of Capt, Hammond
will no doubt renew their efforts to
get his consent to make the race. He
is a man well qualified to represent
the district which has given to Wash
ington, Henry G. Turner. He Is a
gifted orator and a sound reasoner and
withall a supcaior on the stump. He
is no politician but a statesman.
His announcement would be hailed
with delight by ail over the district.
THE CLEVELAND SENTIMENT.
The attention of the country has
been fixed so steadfastly for some
days past on the proceedings at Min
neapolis that little thought could be
given to what was going on in the
other party. Nothing, however, of
commanding moment has taken place
since the Syracuse convention, which
showed to the country at large that
the predominating sentiment of the
Empire State Democrats was in favor
of Grover Cleveland and not of D. B.
Hilt. The delegates to Chicago ap
pointed by the midwinter “regular”
convention (O, blessed Saint Begu-
larity, what sins are committed in tby
name!) have been in conference at
Now York city. They decided that
they are the only representativesofthe
simon-pure New York Democracy,
and that it Is sacredly incumbent upon
them to present Mr. Hill’s name to the
Chicago convention. There had been
many signs of wavering In this body,
or, at any rate, of doubt as to the ex
pediency of continuing the Hill farce.
It was necessary, therefore, to get to
gether and renew their courage by
mutual intercourse and exchange of
viows. Their taking the pledge to
stand fast is interpreted as a sure indi
cation that there was danger that some
of them at any rate might slip away.
The effort was made to induce them to
declare against supporting Mr. Cleve
land in any case. But this failed.
The bosses of the New York Demo
cratic party are too shrewd politicians
to commit themselves beforehand to
inappeasable objection to any nominee
of the party. They are “practical”
people, is Bourke Cochrro says.
These bosses however, continue talk
ing about the hopeless division in party
feeling in New York. They say this
would make It in the highest degree
improbable that Mr. Cleveland could
carry the State if nominated and so
forth, and so on to the end of the
chapter. It is useless to deny that
this talk has Influence. The question
is how much? Ex-Governor Camp
bell, of Ohio, seems to have been con
siderably Impressed by it. But such a
carctul observer ot New York politics
as the Brooklyn Eagle, whose prepos
sessions were not in favor of Mr.
Cleveland, Is emphatic in its expres
sion of belief that Mr. Cleveland can
carry the State—it any Democrat can.
The Texas Democrats on Tuesday
instructed their delegates for Mr.
Cleveland. Democratic convention"
were held Wednesday in Maine, Mary
land and Mississippi. The delegates
were in no case instructed for Cleve
land. But in Maine a resolution was
adopted recommending Mr. Cleve
land’s nomination; in Maryland a
similar resolution was voted down,
though a resolution was adopted
praising Cleveland’s “patriotic and
able administrationand in Missis
sippi tbe sentiment of the convention
Is reported to have been favorable to
Cleveland. It is thus increasingly
manifest that Mr. Cleveland is the de
sire of the great mass of his party
throughout the country. But tor the
factitious Hill diversion in New York
State no objection to his candidacy
would anywhere have been raised.
The action of the Bepublicans at
Minneapolis ought to strengthen Mr.
Cleveland’s chances. In the first
place, if the Democrats are wise (but
can we hope for that?), they will
avoid such an unseemly factional
wrangle as has disgraced tbe grand old
party. Further, as the Bepublicans
have nominated their strongest candi
date, the Democrats ought to be quick
and eSJcr to go and do likewise. Had
the Blaine element succeeded at Min
neapolis, there might have been much
encouragement in their success for tbe
similar anti-CleTeland element in the
Democratic party. But'the sober-
minded and conservative Bepublicans
carried the day. Their triumph
should inspire the Cleveland hoets
with renewed confidence and with un
remitting zeal. __
The next center of political attrac
tion will be Chicago, where Democra
cy will shine resplendent.
CAPITAL FOB THE NEW SOUTH
When a section has suffered great)
financial depression and is slowly re
covering from it, tbe vexatious ques
tions is not as to the direction her
energy shall take, but a3 to the supply
of capital which shall be the strength
behind that energy. Mr. E. P. Alex
ander has been examining the needs
of the South in an article contributed
to the Manufacturers’ Becord: “How
to Provide Capital for the South” in
his subject, and the answer to that
question is, be says, good collateral.
This he puts upon the hypothesis that
with good collateral there is abnndant
credit and abundant credit i
abundant money. Therefore, the
problem confronting the South Is the
difficult one . of putting existing re
sources In a form In which they will
be regarded by capitalists as go
curity for money lent. This done,
money would be obtainable every
where; not only the capital of the
United States would be available, but
all the financial centers of the world
could be drawn upon.
i South’s best and, practically,
her only collateral, is her lands, “with
their fertility, their forests and their
i.” To these is owed the phe
nomenal progress she has made since
tbe war. Yet, with tbelr undoubted
value, it is difficult to borrow money
upon them because, as Ur. Alexander
points out, of the “antiqnated, com
plicated, cumbersome, unnecessary
and vexatious laws governing the
titles to and the transfers of lands.”
The ancient English idekof the sacred
ness of tbe land, which dates back to
the landing of Horsaand Hengist on
British soil, still prevails In many of
the Southern States. This attaches a
peculiar sentiment to landed property,
the presumption being that owners
can not be trusted to handle it as they
do other property, but that there must
be a special set of laws to regulate
every transaction in It. So firmly
established are these trammeling no
tions that no man, especially no for
eigner, dare make loans or Invest in
real estate wlthont expert or expensive
investigation, by some local lawyer, ot
titles running back for genera
tions. And not only the fact
but the search for the fact is at
tended with danger, for, to use Mr.
Alexander’s words: "The foreigner
cannot employ his own lawyer, in
whom he has confidence, but must
rely upon a stranger who knows tbe
ins and outs of .all tbe laws, decisions
and traditions of the locality. The
older the state the more risk, time
and expense necessary to make the
searches. In these days of many op
portunities a very slight Increase In
tbe time, risk and expense of making
loans practically bars them, and the
result is that as a whole onr lands are
valueless as collateral.”
As a remedy, it is suggested and
recommended that the Torrens of Aus
tralian system ot registering land titles
be adopted. This, onr readers will
remember, calls for tbe examination
of titles by the state and issuance of a
guaranteed title in a simple deed,
which can thereafter be used as col
lateral. Just at this time the intro
duction of this anti-podean idea would
be of the greatest importance to the
South. To have property and yet be
unable to get the benefit of it is a hard
ship from which there ought to be
quick relief.
CLEVELAND’S FOACLABITT.
Figure* Which Show Hew He Has
Gained In The People’s Esteem.
From the New York Times.
There is nothing so “telling” in pol
itics as figures, yet nothing is so easily
forgotten. Most of the people who are
readiest to bet something on the result
of an election are impelled by preju
dice that would be restrained and
guided by a brief contemplation of the
pages of a good almanac.
Just now there are some opponents
of Cleveland wbo are joining in tbe
shont abont tbe “dwindling” ot the
Democratic vote between 1884 and
1888, when Cleveland failed to receive
tbe electoral vote in New York. Sen
ator Blackburn recently committed a
blander of this very act. He ia no
toriously inaccurate, and be waa;
more mistaken in bis life than be was
when be said tbat “when the s
exception of New Jersey, Mr. Cleve
land’s vote dwindled in 1888 in every
State that gave him a majority in
1881.” He was explicit in some of his
statements in the same spirit.
But look at the figures. Alabama
gave Cleveland 33,389 more votes in
1888 than it did in 1883. Kentucky,
which Senator Blackburn ought to be
familiar with, gave Cleveland 30,839
more votes in 1888 than she gave him
in 1884. Take a little gronp of four

THE KNIGHT RETIRES.
James G. Blaine is no longer in it.
The only man in America who ever
made millions out of oflice-hold-
ing retires now to private life to enjoy
the seclusion oi domestic bliss for the
remainder of his days.
In 1884-when Mr. Blaine was pat
forward for the presidency against Mr.
Cleveland some wag on a newspaper
indited to him the following lines:
Tbe white plumed knight.
Went forth to fight
With Elkins, Jack and Ben.
Alas! the plight
Of the white plumed knight,
He’ll never fight again.
The man who wrote that was some
thing of a prophet. The man from
Maine has gone to his home in Au
gusta to spend his last days on earth.
For this we are sorry. We believe
that be is today the strongest man in
the Republican party and we are sorry
that he was not the nominee this year
of the Republican party.
This sorrow arises from two reasons.
First, had Mr. Blaine been nominated
the Democrats would have beaten him
with hands down. His record will
not bear the incandescent inspection of
troth and honesty. Second, had be
been elected President he would have
made the best President for tbe whole
people wlto could occupy the chair as
a Republican.
‘The white plumed knight” has
seen his political days and he will now
plume his wings to soar to eternity
when tbe last final call is made.
THE SUMMER GIRL—1892.
The season of 1892, the great Co
lumbian year, having opened, we sa
lute the summer girl in general, and
the Georgia snmmer girl in particular.
Sh^enters the season with nature smil-
ingSupon her sweetly. She has new
tricks of fascia itlon to aid to the old
and tried ones which have added scalps
to her chataliue through many seas
ons. Wc make no slip by saying
many seasons;” it is perfectly un
derstood that the real summer girl
never has more than three seasons.
Sometimes it may be four, but rarely
so. Some authorities say that a sum
mer girl can have only one season, bat
this is putting too narrow a limit upon
her. Frequently her second season
will he her most brilliant one; she
will have acquired arts which only
come from experience. Thalia in her
second summer will still be Thalia,
but she can put on her little mask and
be Melpomene. She will be beautiful
—perhaps more beautiful than in her
apprentice season, bat she will shield a
cruelty behind her loveliness, and a
cincture of tigers will be her guar
dians. It i3 “thumbs down” with her
always.
But men are fair game, whether
they he olS or young, and there is no
reason why they should not die in the
smile of Thalia or perish in the fierce
glance os Melpomene. Whether the
end be comely or tragedy, the mascu
line human must take care of himself.
The summee girl has no pity for him.
She would make sweet eyes at Caliben
and all men are fish to her net. But
whether she linger on the vine-clad
veranda of her home and hold her
court, or whether she suffer some
youth, intoxicated by her queenly
beauty, to row heron some moon
lit lake or drive her along
some shady dell she is one of
of the sweetest things in the world.
May the glad sun of happiness cast its
resplendent rays upon her and the sil
very rays of fair Luna smile over her!
May her numbers never grow less!
Again, we salute the dear summer
girl of 1S92!

Bat Senator Blackburn was sure
that “if some gentlemen” would “read
over the figures at Chicago, what a
fall there was in Virginia, North Car
olina, Missouri,” when the Democrats
were otherwise victorious, the appall
ing discovery would be made of fearful
“ dwindling.” Take some more of tbe
states he mentioned:

Missouri 232,989 261,954 35.960
In five states onlp was Mr. Cleve
land’s vote smaller in 1888 than it was
1883—the states of Maine, Vermont,
Delaware, Nevada and Sonth Crroli-
na. But the whole vote of Maine fell
off 2,212 in the four years,
the Democrats losing 1,600, while
the Republicans gained 1,500. In
Delaware the whole vote fell off, and
the Republicans lost 43, while the
Demorrats lost 522. In Nevada the
whole vote fell off, the Democrats
who moved away being more numer
ous than the Republicans. The vote
of South Carolina Was 12,863 less in
1888 than it'was in 1884, yet Cleveland
had 52,088 plurality in 1888 to 43,157
in 1884.
At home, in New York, Mr. Cleve
land had 100,000 more votes in 1S88,
when he lost the State, than he re
ceived in 1882, when he carried it by
the enormous plurality of nearly 193,-
000. Mr. Blackbnrn wonld not at
tempt to describe his popularity as
*,dwindling” when he finds out by his
total vote in 1884 was u,874.986, it was,
in 1888, 5,536,242, an increase of 661,-
256, or 95,5s4 more votes tnan were
cast for Haralson. Mr. Cleveland’s
popular majority over Blaine in 1884
was 22,005.
PRESENTSSOME STATEMENTS.

nies it a«d GiTes Some Cards to
Show Be Has Been aiiftjadgcd.
Rev. Clarence Kinnie called on the
News and Advertiser yesterday.
He Is a Methodist minister and some
grave tfsjjrges have been made in re
gard tcpl style of preaching.
He called yesterday with some state
ments made by people who know him,
which he desired published.
Some time ago the following special
appeared in the Atlanta Constitution:
Albany, Ga., June 3,—(Special.)
Henry Mitchell, a well-to do farmer of
Lee county, was in tbe city yesterday,
and told of the doings of an imported
preacher from the North, by the name
of Kenny, who was recently placed in
charge of a church at Cordele, one at
Red Bone, in Lee county, and another
in another section ot the country.
Kenny has been actively engaged
since his pastorage began in preaching
social equality to those of his members
who were weak enough to listen to
him, but this information coming to
Mr. Mitchell, he traveled to see
Kenny, and asking him if he had neen
preaching social equality among the
races, and receiving an affirmative an
swer, Mitchell then laid tbe law down
to him, and threatened to throw him
out oi the pnlpit at Red Bone on the
second Sunday in Jane, his regular
appointment, if he attempted to preach
there.
Mr. Mi chell is a member of this
church, and he says he does not mean
to see it longer profaned by the pres
ence of a social equality scoundrel.
Now Mr. Kinnie says the above is
not true and presents the following
card from some citizens of Red Bone
to back up his assertions:
June 15, 1892.—Editor Albany

Flobida Is having some fan in
political way as well as the balance of
the country.
It is appropriate that the candidates
for office on the Republican ticket
should he called dark herses.
Thi3 Is the month of roses, of con-
veu.ions, of bursted booms, of excur
sions and of wilting shirt collars.
If the hot weather keeps up much
longer the summer resorts will be
overran with everybody except edi
tors.
Whitxlaw Reid opposed Grant for
president and now he is a candidate
for vice-president on the Republican
ticket.
The thermometer went np to 106
in the shade at Albany, N. Y., Mon
day. It was cool and pleasant in this
city that day.
If tht United States Senate was not
soch a bitterly partisan body it would
pass at once the Honse hills admitting
Arizona and New Mexico to State
hood. If they were Republican instead
of Democratic Territories they wonld
go through in a hniry.
The weather and politics are both
sizzling how.
The fool-killer will have his hands
full during the coming campaign.

Senator Wolcott, of Colorado,
worked off a fine bit of sarcasm a day
or two ago daring an interview npon
the Minneapolis nominations. A re
porter asked him if Colorado wished
Whltelaw Reid for Vice-president.
“No,” he replied, “we wanted Shep
ard, aud were prepared to give him
tbe solid vote of the state. We thought
the administration was too giddy, so
we bad almost determined to give it a
steady, weighty balance wheel,” The
Shepard referred to is the editor of the
New York Mail and Express, and is
notorious ns the crankiest fool friend
die Republican party has. j Senator
Wolcott’s Interview, upon the whole,
leaves the impression that he will go
home and help Colorado elect Demo
crats lor every office from presidential
electors down to eonntry coroners.
Thirty-five of the forty-nine states
and territories in the Union have ac
cepted the building sites assigned them
on the Exposition grounds, and have
submitted to the construction bureau
for approval the plans or the buildings
they propose to erect. Nearly all the
others, it is known, are about ready to
take like action. Every state and ter
ritory, with perhaps three exceptions,
will erect a building. Quite a number
ot these buildings will be reproduc
tions of historic structures such as
iudependenre Hall, Washington’s Mt.
Vernon home, old Fort Marion, etc.
They will occnpy the northern por
tion of the Exposition grounds and
will besnrroandedby walks, lawns,
shrubbery and flowers. They will be
used as headquarters for state boards
and visitors and as receptacles for ex
hibits showing state resources, etc.
The Mobile Register says that if
Cleveland is nominated he will get the
vote ot Southern Democrats. Not all,
we fear—not a part of the Alliance. It
says tbat “it is absolutely certain that
if Mr. Cleveland is the nominee there
is grave danger of losing about twenty
of the close districts of the South. Any
man conversant with politics can cast
his eye upon the Southern districts
which hang by a thread.” We do not
believe that Cleveland’s nomination
would cause this loss. Some few
members might he defeated, hut the
truth is tbat .the present Congress is
disappointing, and it will be prudent
to count on losses of members in every
section, whoever miy be the nominee.
The 150 majority in the House cannot
be kept np, and it is not desirous that
it should be. Able, experienced men
are needed more than a big majority.
The Macon Telegraph says:
The Boston Woild pays the follow
ing compliments to two able and very
estimable gentlemen: The Dougherty
County Democratic Club has endorsed
Hon. W. E. Wooten for the State Sen
ate and Hon. E. R. Jones for Repre

G. W. McDonald,
A. D. Moore.
To add still more strength to the as
sertion of his innocence Mr. Kinnie
also produced another card.
And here it is:
Editor News and Advertiser:—I
did not say that I had ever been to see
Mr. Kinnie or had any conversation
with him on any subject. 1 did not
say that he taught social equality. 1
did not say anything whatever about
thepulpft being profaned by the pres
ence of a “soefal equality souudrei.”
Henry Mitchell.
This statement was made in my
presence. G. W. McDonald.
Mr. Kinnie claims that he is a much
abused man and requested the News
and Advertiser to publish the
above cards to show his side of the
case, and the publication is cheerfully
made.
Albany And ooAtnana.

from the Montexnma Record’s well
written account of the base ball games

Never in the history of the party

.And watch a light above.
Then sneak away just like a mouse—
O tell me, is it iove?
Within my brain queer fancies come,
And problems strange and new:
If one lives on a certain sum,
How much will serve for two ?
And then anon I’m darkly Sud,
And then I’m wildly gay.
O tell me, am I growing mad ?
Oris it love? Osay!
—Samuel Minturn Peck.
Now.
If you have a word to say,
Say It right off, now!
Do not wait another day,
Say it right off, now!
Siy it while it’s on your mind,
Say It while yon’re so inclined
’Pis the best way you will find;
Say it right off, now! v
If you have a task to do.
Do it right away!
Do uot sit and wait awhile,
That will never pay.
Do It now, and ’twill be done;
Na ight is finished ere begun;
Fields are fought ere victories won;
Do tbat task to lay.
If a harden you must hear,
Bear it bravely, now!
Never burden came to wear,
But strength came, somehow.
Be ye brave today to b**ar,
Shrink not at the thought of care.
Trials oft are blessings rare
Crowning bravery’s below.
—Helen E. Chace, in Prairie Farmer
It is estimated that tbe cholera ep’-
demics of the past year caused 50,000
deaths in Mesopotamia, 10.000 in
Syria, and 15,000 In Persia.
Experts laugh to scorn the new
theory that electros tenolysis can be
overcome by tho ijpere juxtaposition of
dilectiic power and the multiphase

ESTABLISHED 1S63.
Man horn of woman, is of a few
days and full of blue mass and b*le
beans. He risetli in the morning full
of ambition and finds his fondest hopes
decay while milking the cows and
making a fire in the stove. In the
eventide the lowing herds remind him
of a solemn duty while liis good; wife
sits In the parlor chatting gaily with
the neighbors on the gossip of the
hour.
He goeth forth in the noonday tr
sit under the shade of an umbrrila
chins and meets the dry goods clerk
who duns him for a silk dress that i*
worn by his better half. He forgers
to order a sack of flour and that night
sleeps with his face to the wall and
would go through the wall if he
could.
In the “wee sma” hours of the
night while dreaming of homo and
mother lie Is kicked in the rib3 by his
affectionate wife who peremptorily
ordeis him to give the baby some
soothing syrnp. He dishes out pare
goric in a double dose and holds any
thing but a prayer meeting or an an
nual conference with his rffectionate
wife from then until day ii^ht.
ne goes on a fishing frolic and car
ries his little boy along to hold the
bait. Ilis pockets are loaded with the
necessary bottle of luck, but he catches
nothing because the trees are not large
enough for him tog' tthe luck out of
the tottle without being detected by
his young hopeful.
He sallies forth to go on an excur
sion and the train pulls out while he i.-
yet in view of the curling smoke cir
cling in the heavens to remind him of
hi8S.ii! disappointment.
He runneth for mayor of his ba : li-
wlck and is assurred a large support
and handsome following. He kiseeth
all the sore-eyed and sore mouthed
children in tho neighborhood to wiu
votes, prepareth a supper for his con
stituent and goes home at eventide to
mingle with himself over his own de
feat.
A special occasion brings him to the
front as marshal of tiie day aud he
goeth forth on a prancing s*eed to ride
at tbe head of the ciiumn wh it* a
brass band sends forth inspiring strains
to the flatters of Li4 long red sash.
His horse becomes unruly and throws
him into a mu 1 hole just before he
reaches the grand stand In all his
glory and he is denied the pleasure of
opening the cx^rcfees with his beauti
ful impromptu speech a copy of which
he has in bis pocket.
He joins the Alliance against the
wisilesofhis wife and is beaten t
President by sixteen votes. He gon.*
home in a hack and has Ids head
bathed in Ice water for two d:ys after
which he is carried down town ou the
Oaala platform to recuperate in the
fresh air. The air revives him and he
straightway announces himself a can
didate for congress on I he Peoples’
Party platform with the intention 01
having thirty billions of dollara iu Al
bany in less than six months. Hi
realizes that he hasn’t thirty cents and
goes down in the whirlpool of popular
condemnation.
ne is elected deacon in the church
and three days afterward has to dig
potatoes for a whole day In the garden
to keep people fro n seeing his red
face and bloated nose. He chews-
cloves for a week and passes around
the hat tlie next Sunday but is over
whelmed w ith blushes as he stnmbles
in a torn place in tho church carpet.
He braces up and tries to ret a good
ex 1 mpie to the community but is
finally led astray by being induced to
bet his last cent on Albany when she
plays Montfz ima. He goes home to
the bosom of his family and is at once
encountered by Ids yourg hopeful
who mak<*s a plea for a pair of red top
boots. At cnee he has a lit cf hys
terics. Hf makai a sight draft on a
debtor tom over h : s lost finances and
the dralt is ictorn id dishonored. He
swears he will commit suicide and buys
a 33 calibre pistol with which he has a
dramatic scene in front ot his home,
the neighbors in-tkily grasping the in
strument just as he was not about to
pull the trigger.
He finally joins a military company
and retires to private life.
