The Bulloch Herald. OFFICIAL 0KCAW OF THE COUNTY. ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR. PUBLISHED THURSDAYS. Entered at the postofflee at Statesboro, Ga., as second-class mail matter. Office in the rear of Dr. Holland’s Olllce on South Main Street. Call and sec us. Thk Herald. Statesboro, Qa., Decembers, 1899. The Sandersville Progress re¬ marks “that a general revival of honesty is greatly needed in these parts.” This is probably a thrust at delinquent subscribers. The old maids are playing in hard luck, the 29th of February, the only day on which a proposal from them is allowable, being de¬ nied them next year. The next leap year will be 190!. More than thirty football play¬ ers have died in this country tins year from injuries sustained on the gridiron. Yet prize-fighting alone is legislated against, while football is looked upon as a nation¬ al sport. It is apparent that the Mormon congressman from Utah, Brigham Roberts, wil! not be allowed to take his seat in Congress. Rather hard on the old man, for he prob¬ ably needs the salary to support his thret wives. The Dublin Courier and the Dublin Dispatch have consolidated under the name of Dublin Courier Dispatch, and it is said that the new paper will be an improvement over both of the old ones. Then it will be a hummer! It has been discovered that “there is no better remedy for the sting of a bee or wasp than com¬ mon mud.” This is probably why the politician or delator who is stung by his adversary’s criticisms invariably goes to slinging mud. We democrats may yet find out that we have “missed our dip” by forcing the trust question. Mr. McKinley, divining that it would be popular, has declared against trusts in his recent message, which means that we are not to havw a thing but the poor old thread-bare 16 to 1, which has already cost us one election. The Savannah Press editoiiaily remarks that “the divorce evil is growing worse in some of the states. This is noticeably true in Indiana.” The local columns of Press reported twenty-nine that had been granted ihe same day in that city. Wonder if Indiana could really beat that! A Connecticut farmer claims to have discovered that pumpkins have sexes. He says that only female pumpkins are good for pies and that those of the masculine gender are fit only for stock food. This reminds one of the old jingle that “girls are made of sugar and spice and everything nice; boys of rats and snails and puppy dog tails.” Seriously it seems ridiculous that congressmen should object to the seating of a man who agreeable to the law of his land, married three wives, and like a good citi¬ zen continues to care for them as he swore to do at the marriage altar, when it is an open secret that a larg3 per cent of the other members are libertines and rakes of notorious characters, and noth¬ ing is said of it. Old Brecken ridge was an instance, and are others. We believe Roberts’ record is preferable. *“»*«»• “><<»"■’»««'*• Col. Cuyler Smith will probably not lie called upon to assist in raising the capital for the proposed Bulloch county cotton factory, for the very good reason that the Col¬ onel seems to want too much for his services. Alter his visit here lust week the committee appointed to push the factory enterprise, thought it time to ascertain what he expected to charge tor his assistance, and were taken aback to find that he wanted only the modest fee of 0% of the total ca|> ital invested in the enterprise. As our proposed factory is to cost $100,000, that would mean a cool $5,000 for Col. Smith. The com¬ mittee have decided that that amount could better he invested in machinery, and notified Col. Smith tc that effect, and will now pro¬ ceed to raise the required capital without his serv’ces. Mayor Wilson, who is corres¬ ponding secretary of the commit¬ tee, informs us that a meeting will be held at the court house on the first Monday in January, at which it is hoped those inteiested from all parts if tbe county will be present and prepared to take hold and help the thing along. Num¬ bers of our farmers are able to invest amounts of from $100 to $1,000. and it is earnestly desired to have everybody “chip in.” These subscriptions are not ili¬ tended to be gifts—far from it, it is believed that they will earn an annual dividend of from 25% to 75%, as mills in other parts of this Luis state n Lei Lt? tut; are uujug. doimr ou So the u Lid farm- i in er who assists in starting the fac¬ tory, besides securing a better market for his cotton and other produce, is sure to receive a hand¬ some interest oil his money. One farmer in the Emit neigh¬ borhood has expressed his inten¬ tion of investing $1,000, and there are numbers of others who will do as much, and will find it to their imerest to do so. Inconsistent Arguments. The opponents of the Willing¬ ham bill object to it in one breath because it would work “a hard¬ ship cn the man who wants a little liquor for an egg-nog,” and in the next breath they declare that “pro hihition wont prohibit—under that law more liquor will be sold than is sold by the barrooms.” Con¬ sistency is a dead letter with these men. If “more liquor would be sold,” what the thunder are they kicking about? The friends of prohibition are willing to nsl the increased sale of liquor under the proposed law, and if the whiskey man is sincere in his belief that such will be the case why does he continue to kick? If the prohibi¬ tionists had the law, they think they would be content; and if the toper had an increase of liquor, which he says the law will surely give him, he ought to be content. In his speech against the bill Hon. Morris Brandon, of Fulton, used a table of statistics showing that the amount received for the sspool fund from liquor amounts to $100,000, and that the passage of the Willingham bill would en¬ tail a loss of $38,000 for the wet counties and a loss of nearly $112 000 which is now received by the dry counties. All of which is calculated to turn the prohibition¬ ists from their light; but it wont do it. The fight against whiskey is a moral one in which dollars don’t count against the souls of young men and boys who are sure to be led away by the open bar rooms, But even these statistics , if fi . -1 - - . SllOW that tne prohibitionists would bear the heaviest part of the burden entailed by the , .... bill nearly three-fourths of it—there fore , it . , cannot , be . said . , that ,, , they are trying to impose on ihe wet counties. If the dry counties are willing to carry u tax of $112,000 for the sake <»f good morals, the wet counties certainly ought not to kick against bearing their paltry $<18,000. Tile J’rcsi dent's Message. The President’s message, deliv ered to congress upon its assem Wage iastMonday, is a voluminous affair, containing about 20,000 words, and dealing minutely with every department of the' national government, It is commented upon as being very pointed and clear in every point except as to the trusts. On this matter he liopes for “judicious action” from congress without indicating any direction from which relief might Come. The president opens his message by appropriate ’reference to the death of the vice-president. He then proceeds to show the business of the American people is in good condition. Comparing our exports and imports with those of thirty years ago, the president realizes that our exports per capita many tim ; a what they were then and the impolts very much 1 ess. One significant thing in this State ment is that the agricultural ex ports are yet more than twice tile value of the manufactured exports 111 round numbers the former are worth $785,000,000 and the latter $340,000,000. Secretary Gage seems to have figured out that the treasury is in good condition, for 15,1 looks to a surplus 1 of $40,000,- 5 000 clt tilt' ^ end of the fiscal ^ year. In spite ->f our enormous expendi¬ tures the war tax seems to be equal to the demand and \\s are living within oar means. The president . outspoken in . JS r Q-.com* mending that the single gold stan¬ be preserved. This is neces savy, he -ays, in ortEr to maintain the paritv 1 of all of our dollars, gold, Silver and paper. Our bonds are mid for in gold ° and when we * pay them oil we pay out gold, ihe ^ president 1 recommends that when en greenback note is once redeemed it shall not be paid out again ex¬ cept for gold. 1 OK SALE.
