The call promulgated by the Hxu-
ald of Wednesday for a meeting of the
business men of Albsny at Willing
ham’s Hall, Wednesday night, for the
purpoes of taklngcounsel together and
providing ways and means for moving
the cotton crop of this section and
protecting the trade and business In
terests of the city through the pre
vailing money stringency, brought
out a large representation of the busi
ness men of the community. Indeed,
we have never seen a larger meeting
of the business men of Albany, and an
earnestness of purpose was so appar
ent at the very' beginning that the de
liberations of the meeting took n
plain, business-like turn, and were
harmonious throughout.
The result of the meeting was very
gratifying, and a detailed report of
the proceedings will be found else
where In this week’s Hkkald.
The clearing house association
which the banks of the city have been
asked by the business men to form for
the purpose of mnklng clearing bouse
certificates available in our own chan
nels of trade can be mnde a very pres
ent help In keeping up the cotton
market and rellevingthestringency of
currency. The plan suggested Wednes
day night, and which our banks will,
no doubt, ndopt, is a self-reliant, self-
protecting one under the present
Anancial conditions, and, with the
business men of the city pledged to its
support, It cannot fall. The banks of
the city are In good shape to Inaugur
ate such a clearing house scheme as
the one proposed, and there appenrs
to be no doubt now that they will
have It In successful operation within
a very short time.
The clearing house saheme Is now
being successfully worked In other
cities North and South, and there is
no reason why we should not have it
hero In the principal cotton market of
Southwest Georgia.

In an editorial on how to make the

Sam Small In n letter to the Atlanta
Constitution from Texas discusses the
probability of dividing the State Into
several smaller ones and closes with
the following picturesque prophecy:

tngonnl Juxtaposition and correlated
potentiality than Texas now is ns the

Tint whisky distillers of Kentucky,
says the New Orleans States, believe
that they have just as much right to

the silver mine owners of the West,
and that there is no good reason why
their whisky should not be purchased
by the Secretary of the Treasury and
stored in the vaults of the government
as well as the pig silver of Colorado,
Nevada, Utah and Montana. They
also claim what no one will attempt to
deny, that there is a much greater de
mand for their whisky and it eircu-
lates more freely than silver bullion.
Thu New Orleans States wants to
see “a law of Congress putting a total
and abrupt termination to all immi
gration into this country for twelve
months, or until the present industrial
and business crisis has past.” The
above is the opinion of the States
after having considered that there are
now over '600,000 unemployed men in
the United States. The Herald
heartily agrees with the States so far
as foreign pauper labor is concerned.
There can be no doubt but that this
class has had a great deal to do with
the present labor troubles in this

Senator Gordon introduced a reso
lution In the Senate, on Monday, In
structing the Anance committee to re
peal the purchasing clause of the
Sherman act and providing for the
use of both gold and silver as the
standard money of the country and
the coinage of both metals without dis
crimination; also that the Anance
committee be instructed to repeal the
10 per cent tax on State banks.
Senator Gordon gave notice that he
would speak on his resolution.
Now, Georgia’s junior Senator is on

A POINTER FOR BRUNSWICK.

made others afraid.

i the Atlanta Herald.
We cannot help referring again to
the unusually good condition in
which the farmers of the State And
themselves this year. We gather this
Information from those who are in
position to know the facts and from
a close observation of the reports from
various parts of the State.
, Ever since the formation of the
Farmers’ Alliance the farmers have
been growing more and more econom
ical. The Alliance made its mistakes
but it did one good thing in teaching
the farmers to quit buying things
they could not afford and to live at
home.
It Is a fact also that the merchants
have been curtailing crodits for sev
eral years and that the farmers owe
less this year than at any time since
the wnr.
It is another fnct that the crops this
year are unusually good, and there is
nothing to stand between the farmers
and good times.
The cotton crop of the State will be
about 1,(MX),000 bales. As Boon as tills
begins to reach the market, money
will be easier, for an inflow of thirty
or forty million dollnrs trf'a single
State for a single crop is bound to
make itself felt.
And right in the midst of this good
state of things sits Atlanta, solid ns n
rock, nud ready to lead every other
city in the country In feeling the ef
fects of returning good times.
TnE hank failure is still on, and in
some cases the cashier Is still off.
Congress is making time fly, but
seems to enre very little about perspi
ration.
Congressman Bland lias been dub
bed the “silver-plated warrler of Mis
souri.”
The good feeling seems to come
back in New York at an alarmingly
slow pace.
Gold is gradually coming back
from Europe, but the stringency
doesn’t seein to let up at all.
The Indianapolis News remarks
that “the ratio between a Cockran
nnd Bland is nbout forty to one.”
It is said that there Is a 'move
ment on foot to keep n part of the
World’s Fnlr open next year. Better
sell the whole thing to New York.
Mr. Lee Longley, the Athens cor
respondent of the Constitution, who
wrote a book entitled^“Atlanta’s Black
Week,” Is now on the Macon Evening
News.
The South's quarantine precautions
have been of a very rigid nnture, and
it Is not. thought that the disense
would prove calamitous, even under
more unfavorable circumstances.
Hundreds of men and women are
being thrown on 1 ' of work daily while
Congress goes idly on. Congress, of
course, is not to blame for all this, but
it could help mntters a great deal if It
would get to work.
Hon. Ben. E. Russell was one of
the new members recognized by
Speaker Crisp in making up the two
committees of the House announced
on Monday. Mr. Russell was given
second plnce on the committee on en
rolled bills.
If Atlanta continues to keep its
gates open to yellow fever refugees
the more tinjorous cities in the State
will soon begin to quarantine ngainst

looked for is for Atlanta to open her

We have it from Washington direct,
says the Columbus Enquirer-Sun, that
there will be an increase in the circu
lation of national bnnk notes. The
bureau of engraving nnd printing is
now working extra time in printing
small notes to supply the demand ex
pected to be made by the banks.
Hon. Jas. M. Griggs, of Dawson, so

Griggs succeeds Judge James Guerry.

From tlie Baltimore Sun.
William Archer, the well-known
London critic, is quoted as paying the
following gushing tribute to Ada
Relmn’s voice: “It has something of
the mellbwness of a fresh, ripe peach
with the bloom upon It, while in pro
longed monologue It suggests the flow
of those ‘lucent syrups, tinct with can-
namon,’ whereof /he poet sang who
had of all men the moBt delicate per
cept inn of things of pure beauty. It
seems to me that there is something
characteristically Irish in Miss Re-
hail’s voice. Its range is very great;
but in no key is it more Irresistible
than in that of insinuating cnjolery,”
A ripe, peachy voice, with a bloom
upon It, is a new figure of speech, nnd
somewhat difficult to grasp. Proba
bly Mr. Archer meant a peacli-and-
honey voice, which is even pleasanter
and more seductive than tho “lucent
syrups, tinct with cinnamon,” of
which bis poet, with an eye for beauty
sang. The voice of pencil nnd honey
is low and gurgling, but eminently
soothing to the feelings and inspiring
to the Intellect. After listening to its
“prolonged monologue,” theri lives no
man with soul so dead who would not
join with Mr. Archer in inditing a
poem to the voice of the pencil. Only,
In this country, If one listens too
long to the dulect tones of peach nnd
honey, the bloom in apt to be trans
ferred from tile peach to the nose of
the person who has been captured by
its “insinuating cajolery."
TnE City Council of Macon lias au
thorized the Mnyor to employ a city
dog catcher. Another instnnee of

The New York Sun says tills coun
try will likely have nnother selge of
the grip this fall. It will take a great
deal of it to recover what’s been lost.
As an evidence of the much talked
of “hard times,”a recent incident, oc
curring in Louisiana, may be cited.
Robbers held up a train nnd after
going through one car they quit 111
disgust. The passengers were all

A St. Paul bnnk wns slightly
"touched” the other day. A package
containing $10,000 In gold was placed
nenr the window of the teller, when
suddenly an unknown man entered,
snatched up the money nnd skipped
with it. He hns not been caught. And
now the bank is complaining of the
scarcity of gold.
