FOR FALL BUSINESS. In view of the fact that fairly good crops have prevailed in this^ section, . and the prospects for good prices are excellent it can be put down as a certainty that fall business will be. good. Farmers are already bringing in some. cot ton, and in the Course, of another week or two fall business will have opened up in foil blast. the GEORGIA CRACKER.

They appre ciate your business, and will treat you right. President McKinley has done one sensible thing. He has i tained General Fitzhugh Lee as Consul-General to Cuba. The fall season isin full blast. The wise business man should court the trade of this section through The Georgia Cracker. How would a negro postmaster at Canton; Ohio, suit? It is not very probable that one will be ap pointed for that office, however. Southern lynchings are not in it as compared with northern out rages. Indiana has snatched the blue ribbon from Southern States. Don’tforget to speak a good word for Gainesville when you are out of town. There’s no estimat ing the good that might result from it. groes to some of the most impor tant federal offices in southern - £ states that he does noif. Whatever are his wishes or de sires about the matter it is certain that there never will be a Repub lican party in the Sonth as long as the President persues his present policy toward southern people. The appointment of the negro Loftin as postmaster at Hogans- ville over the protest of over three fourths of the people of the com munity, black and white, shows what an utter disregard he has for the southern people’s wishes and opinions. Also the appointment of the negro barber, Rucker, as In ternal Revenue Collector; besides other numerous as objectionable appointments in this and many other southern states. An effort has been made to ex tract political capitol out of the shooting of Loftin, the Hogans- ville postmaster, but it amounts to nothing. There is no doubt that he was shot by one of his own color, a personal enemy; Not withstanding the serious opposi tion of the Hogansville people to Loftin’s appointment, they would not seek to get rid of him by breaking the laws of the country in an effort to assassinate him. They are too manly and have too much self respect for that. On account of the serious objec tions many sound money Demo crat had to the platform adopted at Chicago by the National Demo cratic Convention last year, they were careless and indifferent as to the result of the election last fall A large number honestly believed that the' election of McKinley would be better for the interests of the country, than the election of Bryan. They were only looking at it one way at that time, or else they would have remained true to the party of the people and voted and worked for the Democratic nominee, however dis tasteful that might have been. If they had considered at that time that they wonld have had to con tend with negro federal office holders as they are now doing, we believe they would have acted dif ferently. It is too late, however, to rectify that wrong and there’s nothing left but to grin and en dure it for the next three years. By the expiration of that time they will have had enough to last them for all time, and it can be put down now that those whose ardor was cooled by that unfortu nately constructed piece of politi cal architecture—the Chicago platform—will have had their spirit of resentment so thoroughly aroused against Republicanism that they will always be found working for true Democracy Mark Hanna has helped to solidify tii© Democrats in Georgia. The “power behind the throne” has done good Jin this respect if in no other. Allen D. Candler is daily grow ing in popularity as the man for Georgia’s next Governor. He is not being boomed by any one in but by the people of BREADWINNERS INCREASING. The recaift trouble encountered by a number ot farmers in differ ent sections in getting hande enough to harvest their crops brings to mind some figures rela tive to the number of breadwin ners in this country. In 1870 there were 12,505,923- persons en gaged in supporting themselves and the remainder of the people ; that is to say, 32.43 per cent of the total population were so en gaged. In 1880 the number of bread winners was 17,392,099, or 34.67 per cent, of the total population. By “breadwinners’ * is meant all who were engaged ^either as wage earners or salary receivers or pro prietors, of whatever grade or de scription, and alPjIrofessional pe sons; in fact anyone who was in any way employed in gainful pur suit. Iu speaking of. the matter an exchange says the figures quoted show that the proportion of the betid population thus employ is constantly increasing. Analy zing the statistics, we find some remarkable results, and in general that the number engaged in the lowest walks of business, laborers and the like, iB decreasing in pro portion, while those employed in :the higher walks are increasing in number relatively to the whole population. While it is true that there are a large, number of idle people - in Georgia, it is gratifying to note that the number grows less each year. The time has come when idle . vagabonds and worthless loafers will not be countenanced. THE NEGRO DEGENERATING. If the* figures compiled by Prin cipal Keeper Turner of the peni tentiary are correct the negro, as a race, is going backward in point of morality. The question is becoming a seri- oub one to not only Georgia but every southern state, for the rea son that more negroes inhabit the South than any other section of the union. The number of crimes committed by negroes has been gradually increasing each year since emancipation from slavery. If this record is to be kept up what must be done? Already the jails, chaingangs and penitentiaries are well nigh filled with them, and it seems that the philanthropic efforts to edu cate them and elevate them men tally and morally has been with out avail. The question of wliat is the best disposition for the State to make of its convicts is now one of the most puzzling problems confronting the State’s authorities. Only the highest order of states manship can deal with this great problem and make a satisfactory solution of it. FROM YELLOW CHEEK. Ou Thursday before the second Sunday in October, Yellow Creek campmeeting will convene, just one week later than usual.
