I .A . j*. ALBANY WEEKLY HERALD: SATURDAY, MARCH la, 189a. i'" "HARD TIMMS.” , 'TbaBs the cry. Go, where you will “ .will hear it. Every you.will licnr It. Everybody seems to know about it, and has fallen into the pessimlstip. habit of talking it, but with many tiieoomj)lalnt is more imagina tive than real. ' .. Let ps now consider this almost Unlv4'$l compidnt of hard times— this unhappy condition that so many of ns find ourselves in—from an indi vidual standpoint. Let us reason with ourselves. Are the “hard times” pressing you? Are you in debt' and unable to pay your maturing obligations? Are your current expenses running ahead of your income? If you can honestly answer these questions to yoursef negatively then you are better off than many of your fellow-men, and don’t heed to worry over the troubles of others; but if your nnswer to either or all of them be an honest “yes,” then let the self ex amination here suggested go on until you have considered how you are liv ing and what changes can be made and self denials praotioed to bring your current expenses down to where your regular income will be sufficient ' to meet them. This line of thought was suggested by one of the best business men of Albany yesterday. He is one of your old-fashioned, plain, common-sense kind of men, ripe in years and busi ness experience. Meeting the Hkhalp scribe on the street yesterday he seemed to be at once reminded of hard times, and said: “I want to give you an l<|ea which you oan work up into a good article for the Herald: Tell the people that if they will just live for two years like we did during the war—praotlce economy and self- denial and get right down ‘ to hard pan—every thlngjwill get right again and we will have the best country in the world right here in Southwest Georgia.. The trouble with us all is we are living'too fast and it takes more money than we’ve got to keep up the schedule we are running.” No\y,. dear reader, fellow-sufferer, you have this experienced, sagacious business man’s idea as it was given to us. Think ;over it, and maybe you .will find a little sermon in it that will be of lasting benefit to you. OLkmAND Alts mill. The New York Herald of Wednes day presents an interesting,, table based on Congressional Interviews as to thp Presidential preferences of the Demochmy in the various States. The table has been prepared on the sup. position that 900 delegates will be ad mitted to the Chicago convention under the new apportionment, al though 852 may be the number. The summary gives Senator Hill 285, ex. President Cleveland 805 and some Western man 850. The table gives Mr. Cleveland fif teen States—California, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Massachusetts, Min nesota, New Hampshire, Ohio, Rhode Island,: Sbuth Dakota, Vermont, Vir ginia, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin. It makes Senator Hill the choice of ten States—Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Maryland, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Texas. According to the table sixteen States want a Western man: Arkansas Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kan sas, Kentucky, Miohigan, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, North Dakota, Tennessee and Wyoming. Three States have been passed over. They are Alabama, Louisian and Ore gon. Their delegations at present are, it is said, likely to be divided between Senator Hill and Mr. Cleveland. Among the interviews is the follow “Georgia,” said Representative Blount, “is uncertain yet, and there has not been sufficient time since the action of the Al. bany. convention to see what effect it is going to have on the coun try to enable one to get at the true situation. Opinions differ as to what is to take place. The fact that Sena tor Hill has secured New York may cause the rest of the country to fall in line and make him the nominee. The sentiment is strongly in favor of Sen ator Hill down our way, though it might turn out that Mr. Cleveland’s hold on the people will yet make him the nominee. It should be stated, however, that there is a strong feeling in favor of casting aside both the New York men and unitingon some western man.” NO YAItO (STICK. From the published report of the State Democratic Executive Commit tee at its meeting in Atlanta on Wed nesday, it appears that no reference was made to the Farmers’ Alllanoe, and that the Third Party was men tioned only in the opening address of Olialrmau Atkinson. It would appear from this that the Executive Committee scents no dan ger to the Democratic party in Geor gia from tile Alliance. A good deal has been said by some of the newspa pers to create the impression that there Is an impendingconfllot between the Alliance and the organized Democ racy of the State, but the Executive Committee has wisely paid no atten tion to it, and the fact that in the en tire course of the Committee’s de liberations no reference was made to the Alliance may be taken as proof conclusive that no danger is apprehen ded from that source. From the Atlanta Constitution’s re port of the proceedings we see that the question was sprung by some member as to how the standard of Democracy should be measured in se lecting delegates. The question was: “Suppose a man should say. he was a Democrat, and then go off to a convention and vote for a Third Party or Republican can didate. How are we to shun such a delegate?” “Shall we have a yardstick?” The question was answered nega tively, and it was decided to address the call’' for both Conventions to the Democratic party of Georgia. ini DISTRICT ALLIANCB CON VENTION. Editor Gunn, of the Cuthbert Liber al-Enterprise, is an Allianoeman, and was doubtless in the Alliance conven- tioq of the Second Congressional dis trict held at Cuthbert last week. His report of the proceedings of the meet ing, appearing in his paper of yester day, may be taken as semi-offiolal, and as it differs in some respeots from oth ers that have been published, wo hero reproduce it: The meeting of Alliancemen of the second Congressionaldistriot in Cuth bert on Thursday evening and night of last week was a most harmonious one. Every county in the distriot was represented except Berrien. The meeting was called to order at 8:45 p. m. and the time until sun down was occupied in organization and getting at an understanding as to how they would proceed. Mr. C. F. Barry, of Randolph, was made President and Messrs G. W. Riley, of Miller, nnd W. 8. Dozier, of Terrell,: Secretaries. As soon as the meeting was called to order after supper, balloting begun for a man to be presented to the Dem ocratic voters of the distriot for nomi nation for Congress. The names of Mitchell and Rushin, of Thomas, Hand of Baker, Jackson, of Decatur, and Raines, of Terrell, wero voted for, Jackson leading, until the eighth bal lot. Thomas county then presented the name of H011. O. B. Stevens, of Terrell, and on the next ballot he was chosen. His selection was made unan imous. A committee of five was then appointed to draft a memorial to the Democratic voters of the distriot. When this committee reported nnd their report was adopted the nieetftig adjourned at about 11:30 p. m. ft '■ OVER IN WORTH. THE IlKRAl.DUS ISADEI.I.A COR RESPONDENT'S NEWS DVD«ET.

Isabella, Ga., March 4.—The fine weather that we are having now is giving our farmers a good boost to ward planting their crop.s A few, but only a few, have planted oorn, but al most all of them are ready to plant. The bulk of the crop will be planted about the 10th. A good crop of cane and potatoes are being put in the ground, but the acreage in ootton will be a great deal less than that of last year, hardly more than three acres will be planted where five were planted in 1891. I see some one lias reported that the Third Party has a strong foothold in Worth oounty. This reporter either Intentionally misrepresented or else he has made a broad mistake. The Third Party, on a close count, could not poll 200 votes in this oounty, out of a voting strength of 1,600, and I do not think it would poll more than 125. Now, if some of the Third Party gen tlemen don’t believe this, let them run for any office in this oounty on a- square Third party issue ngainst a Democrat, and he will find where he will hit the oeillng hardest. I am not stating these things from supposition, but from actual knowledge. When ever Democratic Georgia oalls its roll of oounties in alphabetical order, Worth will be fouud to be its founda tion stone, and po Third or Fourtli party can win her from her allegiance. t was a meeting of Democrats and it was the unanimous decision to sup port the Democratic nominee for Con gress whoever he may be. Elsewhere we publish the memorial and a brief sketch of the life of Hon. O. B. Stevens to both of which we ask,the attention of our readers. PLANT NUTS. Tom Rekd had a chance to get off a “good one,” on the Democratic party, the other day, and he didn't fail to do it. He received a letter from a Mon tana Democrat stating that he had bet a Republican five hundred dollars that this Congress had adopted the Reed rules in respect to counting a quorum. Reed was asked to reply, as the bet had been made to be decided by him. On the same sheet of paper the letter came, came Reed’s reply: “The House of Representatives has not adopted the rules of the fifty-first Congress in re. spect to a quorum, but the Supreme Court has. When a person bets that the Domocratic party will exercise any A gentleman Just from Southern California has been giving E. P. Speer, the Washington correspondent of the Columbus Enquirer-Sun, some stories about nut growing in that State, which would seem to suggest that nuts might be made profitable in Georgia. This gentleman says that English walnut is the most valuable nut crop, and this tree will flourish well in any of the South Atlantic or Gulf States, especially in the hill country. He re cites the fact thateleven ranchmen in the Rivera settlement of Southern California are engaged in the cultiva tion of the English walnut, and that they cleared on their young orchards or groves last year from $800 to $350 per acre—off trees that are only nine years old. The English walnut crop of Southern California now amounts to a million and a half pounds an nually, and represents a total income to the growers of $170,000. It has already been demonstrated that pecans can be successfully grown in Southwest Georgia. Why not try English walnuts, too? The economists of the present Con gress are already beginning to figure on the expenditures, and it is thought that they will amount to $05,000,000 less than those of the last Congress. It is reported at Washington that Senator Sherman has sent word to the Ohio Republicans to send a delegation to the Mineapolis convention who can be counted for McKinley. As tbe returns begin to come in it is learned that all tbe Alliancemen of the Second district are not satisfied with the action of the Cuthbert con- sense in anything, he should demand ven tion and do not propose to pay any long odds. Signed : T* B. Reed.” . 1 attention'to it, Mr. John W. Lawson, one of our best oitizeus, happened to a painful and perhaps serious accident last Wednes day evening. While plowing near an old hedge row, the singletree drag ged against a oookle-burr bush and one of the burrs flying baok struck Mr. Lawson in the eye and remained stioking in the eye-ball until he pulled it out with his finger. The wound is still very painful, but Mr. Lawson does not think the sight is injured. Two foot-peddlers were taken up at Willingham Wednesday evening and brought before the Ordinary here Thursday morning.' They were assessed the usual fine and released'. Their condition excited a good deal of sympathy, as they could speak scarce ly twenty words of English, and their entire possessions were not sufficient to pay their fine. Quite a number of our citizens were in attendance at the Masonic fnneral of Mr. H. C. Overstreet at Sumner on Sunday last. Several hundred people were there, and the services were very impressive. Mr. Overstreet was a young man who was universally es teemed by the people of this county, who turned out en masse to pay this last sad tribute to their friend. The Masons and their families were furnished a substantial dinner in the Alford & Ileide hall. ' . The political pot is not yet boiling, but is gently simmering in this coun ty. No candidates have yet announced themselves for Legislative honors, al though I could mention five gentle men, at least, of my acquaintance, who would dot objeot to the position. The soldiers' widows have been coming in for the past two weeks after their pensions. There are about thirty-five of these in the county, and their pensions have put quite a snug sum of money in circulation. The blanks are now in the Ordin ary’s hands for the maimed soldiers’ pensions, and are being applied for and filled out every day. They num ber about thirty in this county alone. Irwin stands singular in not having a Confederate soldier in its limits who has applied for a pension. Mrs. Darden, a sister of our fellow- citizen, Mr. J. F. Kinard, has recently moved from Webster county and loca ted near Isabella. Our people are proud to-welcome lierselfjand family as citizens. When a girl has two beaux, one of them is generally a believer in the Third Party, but he hardly over gets elected, just as will be the case with the candidates of that party in this State. Which is the most to be admired, a man who comes square out and makes the race as a Third Party candidate,or the man who seeks a nomination by a Democratic convention on a Third Party platform? Judge Guerry and Hon. Mr. Ste vens are earnestly trying to convince the people that there is no “negro in the woodpile,” but there is something about said w. p. that smells decidedly “coony” to the people. A twenty-year-old son of a wifipw lady living a few miles from Isabella, whose name is suppressed for the sake of herself and family, went into her house one day last week and purloined a considerabl e amount of money from her trunk—something over {one hundred dollars. With this he made his way to Albany, and spent it in fast living and other accessories in about two days, after.which lie return ed home and told his mother that an other party had persuaded him' to steal the money and then stolen It from him. A good deal of sympathy is felt for the widow, she being only in moderate ciroumstancas, but the general verdict is the; boy deserves the penitentiary. . The State Democratic .Executive Committee sat with open doors. Now and then we see some reference to the Fourth Party in tho newspa pers. Where is it? and what Is it? Whatever else may be said either for or against Senator Hill, it is very evident that he is a worker and that he is a good judge of working politicians. Comoressman Springer, wlio has erysipelas in the face and head, is in a very critical condition, and the worst feara are entertained by his friends. > There is no reason why tho lino should bo drawn between the Alliance and non-Alliance Demo crats of the Second Congressional dis trict, and tlie conservative Demo crats in the Allianoe and out of it should unite in promptly and effect ually squelohtng any effort that is made in that direction. People in the city who are willing to take boarders during Chautauqua should report to Mr. A. W. Muse, sec retary, who has the matter of procur ing bonrd for visitors in hand. The Teaohers’ Institute, the class in physi cal oulture, the book-keeping olass and tho various other departments will bring many visitors here before the Chautauqua assembly proper opens, and accommodations must be had for them. of the ...iiiiiti.,1 1 in,1 l,| nurro i mnuo some SPECIAL BARGAINS.

This is denied by some of Norwood’s friends here, but politicians here seem to regard the report as plausible. Norwood, they say, can expect nothing from the Democratic party in the future, and his novel “Plutoorney” shows that lie is not an unlikely man to follow Ignatius Dopnally and others of that stripe.” Of course “this is denied” by Mr. Norwood’s friends in Atlanta as elsewhere. His friends will also want to know what it is that be has done to place himself where he “can expect nothing of the Domocrat- io party?” The Rev. Dr. Rylance, of New York, is broad enough in his catholicity to believe that much good Christian work is done outside the churches, even in the Sunday newspapers. Last Sun day he told his congregation that be could not regard the Sunday news paper as it is now generally conduct ed as an evil influence. Itwasas a rule exerting a good influence, and it was becoming more elevated in its tone jUBt ns rapidly as the people would allow it. In dosing Dr. Rylance said: “The secular journals are as a rule lar ger-hearted, fairer in dealing with ad versaries, are more generous in their judgments, more active in the cause of true oharity, are fuller of‘sweetness and light,’ are more truly and nobly Christian in the word than most of our so-called religious newspapers.” DOUGHERTY COUNTY SALE.
