Governor making is going on at a

Oh, no, Brother Neal. Bids for

•In publicly [declining to become a
candidate for governor of Georgia,
Hon. J. H. Blount, in a letter to
the Macon Telegraph, gives em
phatic, evidence of his position as a
friend of the people. He strikes
the popular chord, and the adviee
he gives should be followed closely
by the people. He has been
politics long enough to know that
tricks many and keen are practiced
along the political highway, and
that he-is on the side of the people
is known by the record he has
made.
We endorse what he says, in ad
vice and caution, save that we be
lieve that .the announcement of nu
merous candidates for governor
will facilitate a correct selection,
rather than create a mist that
would serve to conceal the true sit
uation.
He speaks directly to the peo
ple, as follows:
“There is a question of immense
import which the people must con
sider in the state elections of this
year. Shall the people control, or
railroad corporations by the use of
their money and such of the press
as the latter can command? Shall
the' state be Cameronized or gov
erned by the people? The result
depends upon them. If viligant
they will win, but the contest will
then be a severe ope. If indiffer
ent or unwary they will fail, and
popular opinion be powerless in
the future. The situation should-

by the announcement of numerous
candidates. Let us not concern
ourselves as to whetherlMr. North-

capable and patriotic citizen shall
be nominated for governor. There
is ho danger along this line. Bath

islature and a governor who can
neither be driven by denuncia

Becent democratic victories in
municipal elections in Maine and

may not be that these elections

It is outright impudence to • as

Georgia have not the perfect light

Georgia. It is decidedly right and

Thenews comes to us fr<an Bos
ton that negro servants are want
ed in the New England States, and
that there is an organized move
ment on[foot to induce an exodus
of negroes from the south to the
north.
It seems that the foundation for
this proposed movement is a gen.
eral desire throughout New En g-
land to secure negro women as
house servants. It seems to be the
belief of adarge number of north
erners that these women make the
best servants that can be secured,
and very naturally they desire to
test the correctness of that belief.
It is proposed to colonize the
negroes in several of the northern
states, using the women as house
servants and the men as laborers.
Mr. Stillman B. Pratt is the head
of this scheme, and as an induce
ment he proposes to_promise great
er civil liberty to the negroes than
they are now -enjoying in the
south.
. Without questioning the views
or intentions of the promoters of
this scheme, we heartily, bid them
Godspeed, and hope that their
fondest hopes may be fully real
ized.
The people of the south appre
ciate the negroes at their full
value, and would not seek to deter
them from making any move that
would result to their benefit.
This scheme, if successfully car
ried out, may in a great measure
solve the notorious so-called race
problem. Distributed alike through
the north and south, their political
status would no lodger be a sec
tional affair, and the occupation of
the republican demagogue would
be gone. Then political parties
would rest alone on questions of
statesmanship.
May this movement go forward
rapidly, and may the desired re
sult quickly follow.
Col. Livingstoe emphatically
denies the rumor that there is a
movement on foot to place Alliance
candidates for congress in the field
in every district in Georgia. He
asserts that he has made no effort
to become the Alliance candidate
for governor, and further says the
Alliance, as an order will have no
candidates distinct from other can
didates. •

els of wheat. The stock of corn on

The next United States census
will include a statistical report of
the number of mortgages on
farms, the amount of each, etc.
For this purpose special enumer-
tors will be appointed. Some say
this will be officious meddling with
private affairs, while others hold
that the farmers desire the statis r
tics taken, in order that the truth
be told, instead of unwarranted
reports that have been from time
to time published on this subject.
During the month of January,
1890, the gross earnings of the
Central railroad system of Georgia
amounted to S873,967.39. The ex
penses, including taxes, amounted
to §562,313.03, leaving §315,564.36
as the net earnings. Add to this
§6,035 derived from investments,
an d the tqtal net income of the
system for January amounted to
§317,539.36. This amount is an
increase in the net earnings of
§80,853.78 over the earnings of
January, 1889.
The Georgia Southern and Flor
ida railroad was completed to Pa-
latka, Fla., Monday, and the first
through train will go over the road
next Saturday, when an excursion
train from Macon will make the
trip. Tickets for the round trip
will be sold for §15. The train
will leave Macon at 7 o’clock Sat
urday evening, afid arrive at Palat-
kaat 6:30 next morning.
It now transpires that Chicago
desires the national government to
appropriate §10,000,000 to the ex
pense account of the world’s fair to
be held in that city in 1892. This
was not in the calculation when
congress voted the fair to Chicago,
and if the city can’t pay the ex
penses, the fair should not be
held.
store in Butler, and it is well

Mr. A. S. Cook, of New York,
was in Butler the past week, the
guest of Elder J. B. Bespess
From here he went up to Powers-
ville, and was entertained by Mr.
J. H. M. Cliett for several days.
Mr. Cook is a large fruit dealer in
Ne tv York. The object of his visit
to the south was to see and get ac
quainted with the fruit growers.
He said to your reporter that he
had visited the fruit farms all
through Virginia, North and
South Carolina, and that the finest
and most beautiful fruit farm he
ever saw was the farm of Mr. S.
H. Bumph. Mr. Cook speaks in
the highest terms of the Georgia
fruit.
Hon. J. H. Blount declares
positively that he is not a candi
date for Governor of Georgia, and
says that he does not desire his
name used further in that connec
tion. In a" letter to the Macon
Telegraph he advises the people to
be especially careful in selecting
their legislators and governor;
“men who can neither be driven
by denunciation nor lured by gain,
from loyalty to the mass of our
fellow citizens.” This sentiment
is in accord with the public acts
that have endeared Col. Blount to
the people of Georgia, whom he
has so faithfully served, is now so
serving, and we hope will continue
serving for many years to come.
Col. Blount’s positive withdrawal
removes from the gubernatorial
race our first choice, and one
of the very best men in Georgia
for the executive chair. However,
the people of the sixth district will
again send him to congress, and it
is riot improbable that he will in
the regular course of events be
called up higher—to the United
States Senate.
Last Tuesday a grocery mer
chant of Macon violated the mar
ket ordinance by selling a shad
during market hours. He was
summoned before the recorder,
and upon the evidence being sub
mitted, the merchant was fined
ten dollars. He rose excitedly to
his feet and declared he would not
pay the fine, but would appeal the
case. He was then fined §5 for
contemt of court, and this fine he
also refused to pay. Ho was then
placed in the city prison where he
rema ined about an hour. Being
allowed to go under escort to his
store, he was advised to pay the
fines,"Which he did. There is now
a prospective suit against the city
for §20,000 damages for false im
prisonment.
The following special from
Elk^appeared in the Macon Tele
graph last Tuesday, March 4th:
’ “Mr. Wm. Means, a prominent
farmer near this place, was dis
tributing some rat poison Satur
day night He first placed some in
his store, then he went to his mill-
house to place some there. The
millis near the public road. While
Mr. Means was stirring around in
the mill, the negro that fires the
mill engine was passing, arid hear
ing a fuss in the mill, thought
somebody was stealing meal. So
arming himself with a piece of
wood, he approached the door with
his weapon to capture the corn or
meal thief as he tried to pass out
with his load. The negro ap
proached the door, and it being
dark in the house, lowered his
weapon.
While he was in tnis position
Mr. Means happened to cast his
eyes towards the door, and there he
saw'by moonlight a big negro man
with his arm raised, and with
something in his hands as if ready
to strike. Mr. Means says that he
stopped to meditate. He had no
weapon, no money, and no ene
mies, either. He said he could
think pretty fast about that time,
so he braced up aud hailed the ne
gro. When he did so, the negro
recognized his boss’s voice, and
laughed. Mr. Means will do some
more thinking, doubtless, before he
goes to bis mill again at night
without a light.”
The Interstate Building aud
Loan Association of Columbus, Ga.,
is growing in prosperity. There
are local boards in ten states, and
41,531 shares have been subscribed
for. A total of §66,575 has been

passed to the effect that after
April next not more than one per
