Have yon read the proposed amend ments to the constitution! 1 They are to bo voted upon at the State election next week, and yon should by all means know wlmt you are voting for. It will do the rnscally General no good to go to North Carolina. Gen Stevenson has been there before him, and the old Tar Heel Stale could not resist tils Democratic appeals. North Carolina Is nut tiled for Third Party missionary work. Some of the newspapers of Georgia need to he reminded that the people of the Kmpire State of the South are a sympathetic people and prone to re sent personal abuse In politics. The day for personal abuse and violenoe In Georgia politios Is past. Is Fulton comity more than half of qualified voters failed to register, anA*. ence will be barred from casting thefr ha lloU ' Ml* I* extremely bad policy .§«*. c at tl,iH time when every 'Third Party wlm ean vote will be on band. It L‘ Important that Ndr- ... then’s majority «, hoiild be as large as the Democrats cun m»ke It. and while "••ills election Is assured, It is the best .policy for every Democrat to register .'•and vote. This will be the most ef- ■fccVoal means of driving the Third Tarty from the Held, just to overwhelm them with Democratic voles. Female speakers are not very com- mmu in the South, and there were l many people In Albany who bad never beard s woman make a political .speech until they heard Mrs. Lease on Wednesday. And Mu* sensations that -welled up in many a manly Southern ■breast as this woman stood before the ' great crowd, speaking like a man, i forensically gesticulating and fre quently inopping her face amt neck with tier handkerchief, were queer, .to say disgusting. Would that woman politician and stump speaker 1:: 1 never come to Georgia! How different the tramp of tbe little party of politicians from the seacoast north through the Empire State of the 8011th, presenting thelrealamlty scenes and pictures of imaginary distress, ap pealing to the sentiment and emotions ■if the people, and humbly begging for votes, to that other triumphant march to the sea in which Weaver Joined, de vastating the country, and cursing the people tie had helped to conquer, but whom lie could not crush even' In de feat. Then, ns vlotnr, he counted the spoils and scattered right and left Ills mandates for the oppression and rob bery of tlm people; now, ns politician mid wonld-bo President, lie fawns upon n people who bate Ills very name, nnd burl Ills vile curses and slanders back Into tils cowardly face, and hum bly asks their support. Such pre sumption we have never before wit nessed. First, at Waycross, lie stood before Georgians appealing for their support, ami It wns only through the Influence iff the more corisnrvatlve citizens Mint ho was saved from direct anil violent Insult, Similar scenes were enacted here 111 Albany'! where be 1ms not a single sympathizer In Ills futile efforts to strengthen Third Partylsm. Here, ngnln, It wns only by an effort on the prfrt of wise and eonservntive citizens Mint lie wns not treated to a shower of over-ripe hen fruit. In Columbus the lie was hurled back into bis face by the dournnl cor respondent, whose report lie declared a falsehood, mill In Macon on Thurs day night the fatal egg was thrown. It had Its effect. Both lie nnd Ills aide, Mrs. Lease, refused to hnve any thing more to say to the crowd. He hns received all around the treat ment he so richly deserved at the hands of an outraged .Southern people. The only wonder is that he got otf so lightly. Wonver will not want to come to Georgia again soon. Georgians are not In sympathy with his sort. NOSIK ItKPlini.ICIA’X PI1II.OH. OPIIV. The condition of Affairs In Alabama seems to have given tbe Republican party the shadow of n forlorn hope that the Solid South may be broken. Editor Halstead, In n lettor to tbe New York Herald, cites .the Alabama case, where there are eleators in the field unlnstruoted, except against Cleveland. Undcr the constitution, he says, these electors have the right to cast their vote for sny eligible oltlzen of the United States from Tom Wat son up. Assuming that the constitu tion furnishes a loophole by which this party of maloontents can obtain their jsocalled rights, Mr. Halstead goes on to say: # “It is not Impossible or improbable Mint several Southern States may be captured on tills plan nnd tile defeat of Cleveland insured even if lie carries New York. Suppose Alabama, Geor gia, South Carolina, Mississippi, Lou isiana nnd Tennessee go for unpledg ed electors. Wlmt reason Is there to doubt that the Democratic electors of New York, If ohosen, would Join the SouMutrji Independents nml innugur- ntn a constitutional revolution!'’' In Its vain pursuit of that Republi can will-o'-the-wisp, the breaking of the Solid South, the g. o. p. In Its drowning struggles will grasp at every straw. In regard to Mie Alabama case, it will be rcndlly seen Mint while there Ims been danger, tbe foot' Mint many of the Knlbltos have refused to join their lender’s mongrel move, leaves the Democrats i.i the State with n ma jority. Mr. Halstead is counting chickens from over-rlpo eggs, for the little Third Party revolution, now nt Its height, will have been swept from the country after the November elections. The absurdity of his Ideas is painfully evident when he makes the supposi tion that Democratic eleotors from New York would Join nn Independent movement; but it borders upon Idiocy when he implies that there is n proba bility of there being such a movement among the Southern States. No, the Democratic party In the South is Imrmoiiious and so it wilt re main, When the title of ballots rolls up In November Mr. Halstead will IInd that Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, and the Southern States all are still solidly in the Democratic col umn, and that the Alabama case will hnve no bearing whatever on tl|e situ ation. The Grand Army of the Republic Ims taken Washington by storm. It was not a storm of Artillery however. Weaver bus no doubt found out by this time that Georgia is not a Field for missionary work. At Lease, not his sort. Now wk don’t need any more cam paign speeches in Albany soon. The Democrats don’t need anything more on that line for the present; the Re publicans won't Imre tt, and as for the lone Third Party man who is reported to have been discovered in the county, just (et him do Wit hour or lure a hall and talk to himself. ■ A,* I ADFANU* IN COTTON. Theory of the Thin sub-treasury plan or oan easily be answered I irty for the ..ling better >ya prominent The advance In the price of cotton, coining immediately upon the knowl edge of the great shortage In the crop, Gurrenl Gessip. plank In the Democratic platform, If should demonstrate conclusively to the the advooates of that something better will Just turn a willing ear, listen learn nnd understand. Tlmt plank reads: “We recommend that the prohibitory ten per cent tax or State hank Issues be repealed.” It Is well known that the present National banking system Is obnoxious to many clnsses In the country, and it ts nlao well known that in a few years the government bonds which secure the national bank issues will fall due. nml unless they substitute similar se curities, they will have to call in their notes. As n substitute which will furnish just exactly what many are elajftiorlhg for, Misstate banks must he looked to. With their Issues properly secured, and no Kindi' restrictions and limita tions thrown around them ns now hamper national banks, they would supply the exact want. Here are some of the advantages to be obtained under their existence: 1. They would Insure nn equitable distribution of the loanable feuds throughout the different sections of the country. 3. They could lonn money on real estate and non-per’shnble farm pro duct*, thus affording just the remedy for which the farmer lias been so long clamoring. 8. They would enlarge the circulat ing medium, and furnish the country with a safe, sound, flexible nnd elastic currency, enslly convertible Into coin. ■I. The State and county bonds held ns security for such notes, could he negotiated at n much lower rate of In terest, say a per cent., Distend of from 5 to 7 per cent., ns Is now the ease, thereby saving immense amounts In taxation fb the people every year. The people of eleven Southern Stales now pay an average of 7 per cent, on county bonds amounting to *lB, IH7,ii()!l, nnd on Statu bonds amounting to :>IS5,- 7aa,017. Cut the interest down to a per cent., and the Immense snving will nt once he evident. State banks would readily purchase these bonds Alt such a low rate of interest for the privilege of Issuing tliclr notes. 5. State hanks would give the citi zens of a community power to control these Issues in tliclr own neighbor hood. Citizens ownlpg stock in such institutions could have a voice In the management of those monetary nlVnlrs wliloh most nearly concerned I hem nnd their uwn community. 6. They would require no examina tion hy United States olHcints. Offi cers eleoted by the people of the State would see that they complied with the laws which permitted the issuanue of nutes. 7. To secure tile people to whom these notes are Issued ngnfast any possible loss, it is proposed to requiro them lirst to make a deposit with some designated officer of the State or United StateB of a sufficient number of bonds of the United States, or nny one of the States, oountiea, or cities, which ut pnr will equal the* cir culation which Is to be issued hy the bank; second, by a first lien upon nil the assets of l lie hunk; third, by the additional liability of the stockholders to the extent'of I DO per cent, over above the sum netunlly paid in by them fur tliclr stuck. These nre facts Which are worth one’s white to think about. TheyTur- tiisli the needed supply of u safe, elas tic currency with power to loan on real estate and other property, amply secured by government bonds, whether State or county. Is not tlmt souiething better titan the wild schemes advocated hy onr wayward Third Party friends? R«a H. Record Bad* From the Knrly County News. There were present at our Demo cratic club meeting, the other night, some doctors, lawyers and newspaper men. lion. Hen E. Rii&seU’s character was the subject under discussion, nnd while Col. Oliver, a stanch Russell man, wns on the lloor eulogizing the Hon. Ben, he was interrupted, nnd the following colloquy took place: “Do you personally know Ben Rus sell?” “I do.” “Did he ever kill anybody?” “He lias not—he never practiced medioine.” “Don’t you know he is a common liar?” “O, no—he is by no means a lawyer.” “Did you ever know tiinr to be guilty of anything degrading?” “Yes—lie—did edit a newspaper.” But, notwithstanding this terrible record of Hon. Ben, we are going to put turn in Congress. A r.ns «( Spider*. Web. From the New York World. So light is the spider's web that a poiiud weight of it will reach around the world, nnd then leave enough to reach from Liverpool to New York. Tiiomasvillk is to luive a cigar fac tory in which Georgia products are to lie manufactured. It would do the farmers of this section good to ponder tlmt >2»0 to $SOO per acre for tobacco is better than *85 per acre for cotton. farming classes that the rise and fall In the price of their staple product is governed exclusively be the laws of demand and supply, nnd that In " trlsln- •glsi t*on hns Itnd nothing whatever tii do with the matter. Under the existing c.nmlitions of the cotton trade, the staple la made almost a legal tender, . It can he turned Into money nt nny time nt its market value. But nn overproduction will, of course, lessen the price, nnd such would be the cn»e with silver If Just double Hie usual amount hf -bullion should he pro duced In a year. The price or value of a commodity depends upon that well-known eco nomic law of supply and demand, which Is a natural law, and cnuniit he controverted o r jtffcctert hy any legis lation whatever, .to overproduction necessarily makes the supply greater than tlte demand, and consequently decreases the price. The only remedy Is to produce less cotton and more of other marketable products. otut ittompiRD an;w union DEPOT. Albany’s new passenger depot is still unoccupied. After so long a lime; after being held otf hy broken promises upon the part of the railway authorities or by one protext or another for year**, tin* Railroad Gonunlssion came to onr n - slstanre, and, after still more dillyilnl- IIng nnd delay nit agreement: wns finally reached by which a depot was built. But now It appears that t li- mails either didn't agree or that the agree ment wns not clearly umlerstooil. The depot is ready for occupancy and use, but Hie roads are bickering over the basisUpon which they shall pnrttidpnfe, respectively, in the joint use of the place. The troohie seems to he with ref erence to the basis upon which the Central shall nome in In paying for the* depot. The basis of cost to the dllfcreut ronils is fixed on the basis of the passenger business done here by till* roads, respectively, anil It appears that tin* Central declines to pay the forty per cent of the cost allotted to It. And then the Sam rund says it will notenme In until the Central does. Thus the matter stands. IVe have a new pnsseuger depot, but it is not In use. The Mayor and Council have seemingly done all in their power in the premises, and now the Railroad Gommlssion will probably have to be called Upon ngnln. Something ought to he done.

The Athens Benner Is down on the amendment to the constitution which takes tin* granting of charters to cor porations away from the General As sembly nml confers it upon the Secre tary of State. There is food for thought in whnt it says: “Under the proposed amendment, Hi*re would be no discretion in the Secretary of State. He would be com pelled to grant charters to nny per sons who oonformed to the provisions of the law in reference to publication, notice, fees, eto. If he refused the courts would compel him by man damus to grant the charter. Nor would It he wise to entrust, the Secre tary of State with any discretion. The power to grant such franchises and privilegesor to refuse them should not he vested lit nny one limit. In England the king enn grant charters, but in this country we have no king, nor do we desire to see any man ex ercise a purely royal prerogative. »*« Mrs. Harrison is rapidly recovering from her recent attack, nml has been removed to Washington.

As has been suspected, all along, the tin-plate manufactory at Ellwood, In diana, is being maintained at the ex pense of the Republican campaign- fund. The mill whioh was put up in) Ohio under the direction of Governor McKinley went into the hands of the sheriff, and now the Indiana mill Is on the same road. It was expected that Governor McKinley’s speech* would boom the stock, but the shares are still in tbe bands of the original builders who will require more aid from the Republican campaign com mittee if the mill is to be run until after the election. The Republicans are boasting that they captured the Kolb electoral ticket in Alabama, and they claim that the electoral vote of Alabama is practi cally assured to Harrison. Chris Mc Gee, who has taken Boss Quay’s place, boasts that he has made the capture beyond all shadow of a doubt, and that the Republicans will unite with the Kolb faction. He fails to observe, however, that many of the supporters of Kolb have considered discretion the better part of valor, and will remain in the Democratic ranks.
