From Monday', Kvcaing Herald.
To-day Is the Daily Hkrald’s
birthday.
The paper made Its first appear
ance on the 24th of Ootober last, and
it Is, therefore, just a year old to
day.
We celebrate the day like wc do
every other day—by getting out the
very best psper we can under the
oiroumstanccs that surround us. a
Looking haok over the year that
has marked the advent and witness
ed the first struggles of the Hkr-
ald, we feel that we have more to
bo thankful for than to regret. Our
little bantling, at first a small sheet
printed one page at a time on a
Job press, met with a most cordial
reception, nud was given a liberal
patronage by the business men and
people generally of Albany from
the day it made Its appearance.
The people subscribed for it, nnd
the business men advertised in It,
and before It was three weeks old
Its suooess as a newspaper enter
prise was assured.
The phenomenal growth of the
paper Is so well known throughout
Houthwest Georgia and to the press
of the entire State that we shall
not review It In detnll. Only a few
of the most linportnnt forward steps
taken by the paper during the first
year of its career will serve to
show that its progress has been
rapid and oontinous.
In December it became apparent
that such a paper as the IIkrald
had started out to be oould not be
printed on nn ordinary job press
and In one corner of a job oflloe.
A new Campbell oyllnder press and
a complete newspaper outfit was
puroliasod for It. Then the paper
was onlarged to its present size.
In January the Mayor anil City
Council, by a vote of six to one,
awarded the olty printing to the
IIkrald, making It the offlolal or
gan of the olty.
In January we commenced the
publication uf nn eight-page weekly
edition.
In February the Sheriff of Dough
erty oounty designated the Herald
as tho official organ of the oounty,
Othor favors of a public nnd po
litical nature have been bestowed
upon tile Hkiiald from time to time
during the year, whloli are duly np
predated and might he mentioned
here, but we fgrbear.
The pnst is now behind u», nnd,
while we would not forget It, we
must look to the present nnd the
future. We Imve had our trials nnd
adversities as all new newspaper
enterprises must have, but we have
reason to hopo Hint wo Imve had
our worst ones nnd that smoother
waters tlinn those through which
we have Imd to pass lie before us.
Our policy Ims been to keep the
Hkiiald clean and make it, llrst of
all, nn Albany paper. Local news
and the things that concern and
Interest the people ol Albany and
vicinity have been first to receive
attention in our column's, and, ns n
reward, the Kvknino Hkiiald lias
a much larger circulation at luune
than any paper lias ever Imd in
this oily,
t'poll the whole, the IIkrald has
prospered through Its llrst year,
and, for the in format lull and grnti-
Itentton of its friends, we are glad
to be able to state that the circu
lation of both its Daily and Week
ly editions Is steadily increasing.
Clkvklaxii is the greatest letter
writer among all the public men uf tile
present age in Ihe country. His great
ness in this particular direction or con
nection does not consist In the num
ber of letters that he writes, but In the
good judgment that is displayed in
those that he does write. He seems to
know just when to write and what to
write. He never writes buncombe
letters, either, but writes to the point
and has a peculiar faculty for avoiding
blunders.
Tjikrk is food for thought in this
little inoident related by a Chicago
'paper: An Indian girl, one of the
students of the Carlisle School, while
hi New York, was taken down to Rills
Island and saw the swarms of immi
grants landing. She turned to a New
York gentleman and said: “Your
people drove us out centuries ago.
Now these are coming to drive you
etlt. If you don’t make tiiem stop com
ing you will be in a Tew centuries
what my people are now."
LET’S HAVE TBITHLTI1.

From Monday's Kvenlng Herald,
In the midst of one of the boasting,
self-laudatory editorials so character
istic of that paper of late, the News
and Advertiser of yesterday morning
says:
By referring to Ueo. I*. Howell's American
Newspaper Directory, you will leul'u Unit tlio
Weekly News nnd Advertiser has a circulation
exccuding 11,000.
The IIkrald is not a patron of Row
ell's advertising agency nor a sub
scriber to the newspaper directory
which that firm publishes. Having no
copy of the directory at hand we can
not sny whether It actually reports
our morning contemporary as having
a circulation “exceeding SOW or not;
hut, whether it does or not, we chal
lenge the correctness of It, and are
willing to forfeit $100 to he given to
the Ladles’ Memorial Association upon
satisfactory proof that the News and
Advertiser Ims even half the circula
tion claimed.
Now, to bring the issue squarely to a
“put up or shut up” point:
Tho IIkrald hereby offers to deposit
8100 in any bank in Albany against a
like sum to be put up by Rowell A Co.,
the publishers of the News and Adver
tiser or anybody else who may feel in
terested In the matter, subject to the
following conditions: If satisfactory
proof is adduced before three impar
tial judges, to be mutually selected and
ngreed upon, tlint the Weekly News
and Advertiser has a regular bona tide
circulation of 1500, our $100 goes to
the Ladles’ Memorial Association; if it
is proven that said paper has not a
regular bonu Hde circulation of 1500,
then the $100 of the other party goes
to tho Ladles’ Memorial Association.
In either event, the money put up hy
the party who proves to be correct ill
the question at issue, shall be return
ed to Its owner.
Now, if the News and Advertiser
has anything like, or even half the
circulation It is claiming, here Is nn
opportunity fur it to bIiow up with Hy
ing colors and make a genuine ten
stroke. Will It do it?
The News and Advertiser nkvkrhas
had 8,000 circulation. In its palmiest
days, when It wns the offiolal organ of
four oounties and was practically
without competition as a local paper
In tills territory,* the highest circula
tion It ever reached was 2200—nnd
then that prlnoo of newspaper can
vassers, MaJ. T. J, Burney, was on the
road for it all the time.
What business is this of the Hkr
ald’s, are wo asked? None, perhaps,
we are free to say, and we are con
scious of the faot, too, tlint there are
those who will say we are actuated by
jealousy; but our excuse for it is that
our morning contemporary has been
so thoroughly in love with itself and
.has indulged in so inuoli blow, bluff
nnd brag about Its circulation of late
that It Is beginning to mislead adver
tisers and operate against the legiti
mate business methods to which the
Hkiialu trlestondlierelu dealing with
its pntrons nnd the public.
UEOHUIA’S VONGHKMN.ilEN.
The Congressional race In Georgia
is narrowing down, and the candidates
are coming ill on the home stretch.
Every district outside of the Tenth
is certain to go Democratic hy a good
majority. This wns demonstrated |n
the election of October 5th.
The Tenth is somewhat of a lighting
ground, for although a good majority
was given the Democratic ticket under
the circumstances, it was small as com
pared with the majority in the other
districts, Watson Is marshaling his
foroes and doing everything In his
power to overcome that majority, but
the Democrats are making an open
squareout light, and it is probable
that they will win.
However, help Is needed, and any
aid that can be extended by Democrats
in other parts of the State will be
thankfully received by the Democratic
committee in that district.
Watson must be defeated, and eleven
Democratic Congressmen will go up
frhin Georgia.
Very few people have ever consid
ered the matter, but it is a faot that the
plank In the People’a Party platform
as well as the government ownership
of railroads provision Is directly an
tagonistic to the Constitution of the
United States.
Speaking of these two Issues of the
Third Party, Mr. W. H. Fleming, of
Richmond, said in an Interview the
other day:
“Both these planks Involve the legal
question of eminent domain or the
condemnation of private property for
public use. That right, is nowhere
lodged In tile Federal government. It
rests exclusively In the states.
“If the Untied States desires tn erect
a government buildingfor a postoffice,
or any similar purpose, It must pur
chase the property at private sale or
proceed to condemn It under State
laws. It acquires Jurisdiction over
the land only by actual cession from
the State, ft has no authority of its
own to condemn private property,
whether in land or In railroads.”
Mr. Fleming Is nn able constitution
al lawyer, and when he undertakes the
solution of such a question he goes to
the bottom of It.
JThere is no doubt that these propo
sitions like many'others set forth ill
the Third Party platform, propose vio
lations of the powers delegated by the
Federnl constitution to the states.
The Supreme Court has never deemed
these mutters of enough Importance to
look into them, hilt we Imve no doubt
Hint were they to examine them they
oould pronounce half the People’s
Party platform unconstitutional.

WATSON GONE MAD.
From recent reports of Mr. Watson’s
actions it would seem that he Imd de
veloped a decidedly maniacal tend
ency.
It Is reported tlmt he said, Inn recent
speech, that lii» followers must elect
him at nil Imznrus, nnd tlmt the whites
must shnrpen their knives nnd arm the
Negroes and carry them to the polls;
and tlmt If n Democrat should inter
fere, to make short work of him.
Mr. Watson 1ms been known to he
somewhat on the incendiary line, but
these remarks eclipse all his other ef
forts on tlmt line, and stamp him at.
once as a dangerous character, who
oould better subserve the interests of
Ills party behind I lie bars of a lunatic
asylum.
The truth of the matter is Mr. Wat
son Ims grown desperate. A big Dem
ocratic majority Is staring him ill the
face, nnd lie is ready to use any means
—fair or foul—to secure bis election.
We want no incendiarism In Geor
gia. The quicker tile people of the
South put him on the shelf the better
it will be for the State.

Of the speech of lion. .T. W. Walters
at Thomasville last night, this morn
ing’s Tlmes-Enterprlse says:
Hon. Jesse Walters, Elector of the
fleoond district, spoke to a fair nudi-
euce, including a number of ladies, at
the court house Inst night. He was In
troduced by Hon. W. M. Hammuml,
who briefly reviewed the situat ion and
paid a high compliment to Mr. Wal
ters. Mr. Walters dropped Into his
line of argument easily, readily and
gracefully. He laid down three prop
ositions for discussion—taxation, or
tariff, flnanoo and the force bill.
His Illustration of the Inequalities
ami oppression of the McKinley tariff
were so plain that nil were convinced.
At least, If they were not, it was be
cause they would not be. The subject
wns handled in a masterly nnd moBt
convincing manner.
Under the head, of flnnnce he dis
cussed the silver bill, showing that,
while Mr. Cleveland mid the Demo
cratic party were not In favor of
stamping 86 cents worth of diver as n
dollar, they were in favor of the un
limited coinage of the white metal,
provied 100 cents of silver was put in
evpry dollar.
His arraignment of the Infamous
Force bill, and eloquent plea fur local
government, carried the audience by
storm.
The distinguished speaker closed by
warning the Democrats agnlnst over
confidence. He said that tho Third
Party, jvhlle badly demoralized, was
lying low, and that the Republicans
would no doubt have the mimes of
every Third Party candidate on their
ticket for Congress.
At the conclusion of the address a
resolution wns passed in fnvor of all
places of business closing on election
ilay. Messrs. W. M. Hammond, R. L.
Ilieks and J. S. Pittman were appoint
ed a committee to aid in carrying out
the resolution. This is being done all
over the district.

Atlanta is developing an anti-snap
per faction. People are kicking
against the city ticket nominated
there by a snap convention a few days
ago.
Thk mayoralty ticket put out by the
New York Anti-Tammany oounty De
mocracy, will have little influence In
the campaign. None of the promi
nent anti-snappers are supporting it.
Thk Health Board of New York em
ployed fifty extra inspectors during
the oholera scare, at a cost of $5000;
and the Police Commissioners In
curred an expense of $4201) by hiring
tugs to enforce the quarantine laws.
Thk country has been a long time
about it—but It is better to begin late
than never—in setting apart a day as
a legal holiday In honor of the discov
erer of America. But, if we continue
to go way back yonder in the planta
tion of time, and, bringing up men
and events almost forgotten, and
name and observe holidays in their
honor, some arrangement will have to
be made for increasing the numjer of
days in a year in order to keep the
holidays from recurring too often.

Need-Will Hhc lie* Them?
The last half decade of years has
seen In Albany the establishment of.
many enterprises, without which it
would have been impossible to get
along.
They have al’» done well, too,and Al
bany has supported each new venture
without any trouble. We have secured
waterworks, electric lights, telephones,
street cars and dummy, more railroads,
the oft despaired of depot, river navi
gation, the Chautauqua has been estab
lished, we will have sewerage in a few
more months, and besides dozens of
plants and factories have been put
into successful operation.
Still we need some more improve
ments. It will be almost an impossi
bility for Albany to go much longer
without a hotel built with all the mod
ern improvements, ami the people are
bound to have one before they stop.
And tho opera house! This has
been a subject so often discussed by
the newspapers and public generally,
that the mention of it has become a
chestnut. Yet, our primitive “she
bang” must go some of these days, and
the only way to get what we want is to
keep hammering away at it. Let’s
keep it up, and we will “get there by
ami by,”
A cotton factory is something, too,
that occupies a little corner in the
hearts of some of Albany’s best citi
zens, who say they will see one run
ning yet. Will they? Wait and see,
A combined city ball and Chautau
qua building will be one of the next
things to be built in Albany. We just
won’t get aloaig without it. The Chau
tauqua exercises of 1893 will have to be
held in the tent again, but in ’94, they
will take place in a handsome hail, the
property of the association.
Mark what we say—these things are
coming, and that soon.

The fourth annual fair of the Worth
Agricultural Association closed at
Poulan Thursday evening.
The display in all the departments,
while not large, was well assorted, nnd
of the must choice variety. The dis
play of agricultural products wns the
best one on the grounds. The corn,
peas, oats potatoes,' rice, sugar cane,
forage, hay, cotton, etc., eto., oould not
be excelled anywhere, and conclusive
ly proved that Worth eonlity is one of
the banner farming counties of South
Georgia. In gourds nud pumpkins,
Worth’s soil spreads itself, and some
monsters were on exhibition. Mr. W.
W. Monk made the best display of
corn and oats, and received orders for
large quantities of seed of several va
rieties while on the grounds. But Mr,
J. M. Watson came in with a flue gen
eral assortment, that was hard to beat,
of all Held products.
The best display of fruit and veget
ables was made hy the Ty Ty Nurser
ies, some of the articles on exhibition,
particularly the pears, being the finest
the writer has ever seen. Jerry Han
cock was in it when it came to pota
toes, some of his Spanish variety look
ing almost good enough to eat.
Tlie children’s display, while not
large, wns a very creditable one, es
pecially ill the inntternf drawing and
writing.
But, probably, the prettiest nnd
most templing thing on exhibition
wns the display of preserves and jellies
by Mrs. R. II. Lester, of Poulan. There
were over an hundred different varie
ties of these, and some of the linest it
hns ever been the writer’s pleasure to
see. Mrs. Lester also displayed over
hr hundred varieties of growlngplants
and flowers.
The lot of bread, cakes and domestia
wines showed that Worth would not
have to go nwny from home to feed
herself, while a few sides of home-
raised bacon lent a substantial air to
the display.
A careful look over all these pro
ducts could produce but one fault,
llrst of all, that if these people, living
In a county that could produce such a
variety and quality of produots as
these, should raise six oent cotton to
pay for Western liny and corn nnd
meat, they deserve to be sent off to the
asylum or Third Party.
In the department of “Ladies Handi
work,” supervised by clever Tom
Kitchens, Worth's dailies showed that
they were the worthy helpmeets of
husbands that oould raise such pro
ducts as were seen in Ihe agricultural
department.
The display of painting, drawing
knitting, quilting nnd other work ivns
good, nnd showed that while the Indies
were looking after the comforts of
their homes and fnmilies, they were
not neglecting the line arts by any
means. Indeed, one would have to
travel a great deal to And more intel
ligent, cultivate^ and accomplished
women thnn the wives ot Worth coun
ty’s farmers.
Outdoors the exhibition of live stock
and poultry was excellent, and the
showing made was creditable to any
county or its citizens.
There was plenty of amusement on
hand. A bag race, which was won by
a long-legged boy who will some dny
represent his county, while his com
petitors were falling over each other
in n vain attempt to master the mys
tery of the bags; a girl’s race for a
nice rocking-chair, which was a walk
over for Kate, the pretty daughter of
County Clerk McDowell; a boy’s foot
race, which was followed by any num
ber of scrub races, afforded more or
less amusement.
There was, also, a contest for the
prize offered for Ihe best musical per
former, and a shooting match, which
wns a source of a good deal of amuse
ment to the sportsmen present.
A prize for the prettiest baby, and n
voting contest for the prettiest young
lady, proved a source of a good deal of
amusement.
The best articles on exhibition will
be curried directly to the State Fair at
Macon, uuder charge of Capt. John G.
McPhnul, who has been taking the lead
in deicloping the resources of our
county, and in forwarding the good
work of the Agricultural Association,
which is doing so much to bring AVorth
before the eyes of her sister counties
in the matter of progress.
The attendahee was very good, es

From Saturday's Kvenino Herald.
Lem Johnson, oolored, was arrested
about 10 o’clook this morning by Officer
Raley and Mr. Frank Godwin and
given quarters in the jail.
Johnson is a lunatic, and of late his
lunacy has taken such a turn as to
render him dangerous to his associ
ates. He has been living in Sand-
town, beyond the Southwestern limits
of the oity, and, until lately, has beeiio
very quiet.

From Saturday's Evening Horald.
Mr. II. H. Nelms went before Magis
trate A. P. Greer this morning and
swore out a warrant for the arrest of
Willie Lee, a Negro who lives in East
Dougherty, near Mr. Nelms' place.
The warrant oharges the Negro
with selling mortgaged property.
Some time ago Mr. Nelms took a mort
gage on a lot of ootton seed belonging
to Lee, in order to secure himself
a debt. A few days ago the darky sold .
the cotton seed and appropriated the
money to his own use. He will, prob
ably, be in jail by night.

It is a popular belief that while the
poor man must be careful about his
attire, the capitalist may dress as
badly as he pleases. Yet a man with
$17,000 in bank narrowly escaped a
committal for vagrancy in New-York
the other day. His ragged and filthy
clothes were sufficient evidence’
against him until he exhibited his
bank books.
Herb’s a good one on an Albany po- '
lice officer. A Negro stole a pair of
shoes. The oflicer employed another
Negro to help him track the miscreant^
promising him a suitable reward. The
amateur detective said he would collect
the desired information and meet the
oflicer at 12 o’clock at night with full
particulars. The meeting occurzd
nnd a paper containing the supposeH^,
information was delivered. The officers
put it carefully away in Ills pocket
until he could reach n street lamp.
There he carefully took it out, cau
tiously unfolded it, and began to pe- ■
ruse its precious content’s, it was a
druggist’s prescription for colds, and

One of the best equipped and most •
thrifty enterprises in Albany Is the
steam sausage factory that Mr. AV. AA r .
Rawlins runs in connection with his
butcher '’business. He has all tbe
necessary machinery and appliances
for manufacturing sausages of all
kinds, and makes as good an article of jj
Bologna as can be had anywhere. His ’
sausages are not only sold here, but he
ships quantities of them to other
markets. A Herald man went
through the factory, from refrigerator
to smoke oven to-day, and it was a
