--Haturoay, April 20, 1895.
Atlanta has ordered the issu¬
ance of $150,000 city bonds, to
mature in thirty years.
It is said that the sleeves
worn by the ladies now, wore
in style two hundred and fifty
years ago.

rebellion crushed. There is still
hope of Cuba’s independence.
The reports from I! rads tree t
are encouraging. The business
outlook is better, and the pros
pect for increase in trade flatter
irig.
John T. Waterman, a promi¬
nent member of the weekly press
of Georgia, and private secre¬
tary of Speaker Crisp, died eud
deuly in Atlanta Tuesday last.
There seems to be no founda¬
tion for the report that there is
a combination for Senator Gor¬
don to run for governor, and Sec
rotary Hoke Smith for U. S. seu
ator in ’96.

We sincerely hope that the feel¬
ing for better times financially
will not be a disappointment.
Business revived and money cir¬
culated would help everybody
wonderfully.
Gov. Atkinson bought the
North-eastern railroad for $100,
000 for .the'State, whose indorse¬
ment is to the amount of $250
000 The governor will sell or
lease the road.
Editor Blackburn will issu’ a
May-day edition of the Commer¬
cial. He is very modest in speak¬
ing of what he expects to fur
iiish his readers and advertisers
We like this kind of modest talk,
and hope the issue will be a suc¬
cess.
Spaiu’s insult and England’s
threatening attitude towards
our government at one time,
provoked last week our *'Eng
lish hull dog and American mas¬
tiff" remarks, and not the finan¬
cial status, as the Const itutioD
has it.
Tlie State Sunday school con¬
vention will meet at Waycross
May 21, 22 aud 23. It is desir¬
ed that every Sunday school in
the State be represenred. Del
egates will be passed over rail¬
roads at full fare going and one
third fare returning.
The remains of JettVrson Da¬
vis. Jr., were reinterred in Hol¬
lywood cemetery, Richmond,
Va., on the 12th inst. Appro
priateceremonies were had. The
same Confederate Hag used in
the burial of his father was used
on this occasion.
There is a colored man in this
county who has a fine reputa¬
tion as a successful (?) farmer.
It is said that he made last
13 bales of cottou on three acres
of land. So much that his head
wool gathered iu calculations.
Solicitor Candler yvith the help
of the grand jury kindly aideo

“ A correspondent asks : ‘If i
the Lord intended for women to j
wear pauts why didn’t he make
whiskers to grow ou theirehiu ?’
Easy to answer. The Lord knew
site couid not keep her chin still
long enough to get shaved.”
On last Sunday night violent
earth quake shocks prevailed
throughout the southern portion
of Austria All the churches,
public buildings and business
houses in La j back weredamagod
Several people were killed by fall
walls, and a number injured.
The city churches throughout
all this country observed Easter
on last Sunday. Many went to
show and to see the Ldies attir¬
ed in new bonnets and dresses ;
others went to hear fine music,
while a few, perhaps, went to
observe the day in spiritual de¬
votion.
Hon. T. B. Cabaniss of the flth
congressional district has been
appointed by the President one
of the commissioners of the In¬
dian mission. The office is a good
one having pay about equafl to
that of congressman. It will take
the commission about two years
to the work.
The newspapers all along the
line are predicting more prosper¬
ous times, and one exchange sug
gests that this is the way to
bring it about. Many of our
county papers are showing signs
of improvement in business by
the large advertising patronage
ot the local business men.
Judge Lumpkin, to whom was
referred the school tax of Rich¬
mond county against Ga. R. R.
Co. decided that the road is lia¬
ble for the tax from ’91 to ’95 in¬
clusive, without interest. The
tax w ill pay to Richmond coun
cy about $25,000 for the five
years. Quite a suug sum fot the
schools of xtichmond. '
The Rome Hustler in compli¬
menting the Atlanta Commer¬
cial refers to the Journal as sec¬
retary of the interior and the
Constitution as secretary of the
exterior. Now the Commercial
has the city printing, wo may
say that it is the secretary ol
both the interior and exterior of
Atlanta.
The Cuban rebellion is about
at an end. The killing of Gene
ral Crombett and imprisonment
of Major General Maceo, the two
leaders, crippLs tlie rebellion so
that Cubans will have to contin¬
ue under the oppression of Spain
It appear:? now, while all Cuba
■wanted to be free, only a small
portion were iu actual rebellion
against Spanish rule.
Col Livingst>n,who is now ab
sent in Washington on busiuess
will be home iu a few^ays. Hi
has made himself (listinguisheu
above his peers by his timely re¬
marks upon tl e Monroe doctriue
and by tho interest felt in the
affairs of Venezuela. The cit¬
izens of this far off country will
immortalize his name by trans
latinghis speech iu Spanish, pen¬
ning a sonnet in his praise, and
projecting a statue to his honor.
China and Japan have signed
a treaty, settling the vvar. Chi
ua has made great concessions.
The treaty was sigued ou the
16th, and the terms are; 1. The
independence of Corea. 2. Jap¬
an retains the conquered places.
3. Japan retains the territory
east of the Liau river. 4. Jap¬
an gets permanent possession of
Formosa. 5. China pays Jap¬
an $100,000,000 indemnity. 6

The Augusta Chronicle is buoy

perifcy of Augusta. J aking data
from this and other points, the
Chronicle concludes that the
country is now on eve of pros-!
perit-y, which has not been
known for several years such
a wave of success as will enable
the people to remember the hard
times only by contrast. We hope
the statement is true, and that
all business will revive, for
when business revives every¬
body will feel better.
We are sorry to see such
sistent efforts by the Baptists of
tire State to encourage and or¬
ganise young people’s unions in
connection with the church. \Y e
believe that if everybody would
live up to their profession of faith
and the law as laid down by the
Master there would be no need
of union?,Christian associations,
etc. The more successful these
organizations,the more the chuch

At a rural town in Georgia
there is a hotel which does not
abound in modern conveniences
On the porch is a sign which
reads : “Persons wishing to take
a bath will please notify Mr.
Jones half an hour before hand,
so that he can have the creek
dammed up.”—Haverhill Ga¬
zette. If our contemporary will
be a little more explicit in locat¬
ing that town and identifying
Mr. Jones, he will probably en¬
joy a similar experience with the
creek.—Augusta Chronicle.
In his letter declining an invi¬
tation of leading business men
of Chicago to be present at a
banquet in his honor, President
Cleveland sets forth his financial
policy. He is honest in his com
victions, and from the stand¬
point taken it would seem that,
his reasoning is clear beyond suc¬
cessful contradiction. However,
it has not been often in the ;his
tory of this country the masses
have erred at the ballot box, and
f this question were settled to¬
day by the people, exercising
their Democratic right at the
polls, there would be ten to one

gold standard.
MONEY KINGS.
According to the Chambers
Journal there are seventy citi¬
zens who are worth the sum of
three billion dollars—au average
of thirty-seven millions each;
Besides there are fifty other per¬
sons in tlie United States worth
over ten millions each. These
are bewildering figures. If
wealth continues to concentrate
tn the hands of a few in the east
for another generation as it has
done iu the past the southern
and A’estern states will be mere
provinces, and the politics, legis¬
lation, commerce, industry and
society of the entire country will
be dominated by a few hundred
families in several of the New
England and middle states. Are
we soon to reach a point where
a few money kiufs will elect
presidents and congresses, and
shape the destinies of the nation
with all the absolute power of a
despotism ?
But will this concentration of
wealth continue? We cannot
believe it. Conditions have chang
ed iu the past, and we may ex
oect them to change in the fu¬
ture.—Atlanta Constitution.

Today is the election on the
school bond question. It is hop¬
ed that every citizen who lias
the interest of his children at
heart will vote—both white and
colored. The colored people will
get their apportionment of the
funds. The school system is now
in progress', and more room is
wanted to conduct the exercises
successfully. Let everybody go
to the polls today and cast their
votes for bonds. A failure to
authorize the issuing of bonds
wil necessitate the levying a di¬
rect tax upon the properly of t) $
citizens, than costing a great deal{
more the long term bonds.
