EDITORIAL OPINIONS.
The paying of cash for guano
indicates that there is some mon¬
ey yet in the country, and
makes a good showing for easier
times next fall.
There is still hope for the ed¬
itors of this country. Mr. Stone
of the New York Commercial
made $450,000 out of his news¬
paper before his death.
With perspiration trickling,
and drawn contenance, the Ban
ner reluctantly dances to the
music of the “hand organ,” ao
skillfully handled.
Augusta Chronicle says it is all
folly saying a man would refuse
the nomination for president.
Any man would walk iu his
bare feet to the convention iu or¬
der to get the nomination.
Monday’s Constitution has a
good article on the use of opium.
There is an effort being made
now by those countries which
sell thestuff to convince the pub¬
lic that instead of an injury it is
a benefit to the system.
The ladies of Madison got out
a very handsome issue of the
Advertiser. It reflects great cred¬
it upon them. It contained ad¬
vertisements from different sec¬
tions of the State besides being
liberally patronized by the bus¬
iness men of Madison; no doubt
it was as successful financially
as it otherwise was.
“Aw Ma, I s bv\ uliered er bug !”
"Er bug, nigger? Whut mus’ 1
do ! ’Wbar’s yer pa? Jake, cum
’ere, Tildie’s ewallered er hug !’
“UghI Whut kiu’ er bug is it?”
“Goldbug 1 do b’lieve 1” “Well,
hits no use ter do nufiog, fer yet
jes’ can’t move hit 1”
How Democratic gold-stand¬
ard papers can charge Demo¬
cratic silver coinage papers with
being Populists because they are
for free silver which was iu the
Populist platform, while these
same gold papers advocated the
income tax which was also in
the Topulist platform, we leave
for them to reflect upon. Such
stuff is puerile.- Augusta Chron¬
icle.
Our neighbors of the Banner
have “let the cat out of the wal¬
let,” ‘'the milk out of the cocoa
nut”—all that worries them,
they have not the county adver¬
tising. There is nothing in their
la6t issue for us to shoot at, so
we will not lire in the air. The
gentlemen who are personated
are amply able to take care of
themselves, and if they see any
thing worth their attention they
can have the use of our columns.
We have a soft place in our
heart for those in distress. w e
yield to the pitiful wail coming
up to us yesterday desisting
from further comment, Theii
liouest confession will be good
for their souls.

SILVER AND GOLD.
We have given heretofoie
more than a passing
upon the great subject
which now is agitating the
minds of both great and small of
i he entire country. As to whefch
er the gold or the silver will re¬
sult to the best interests of the
masses w e are not able to sav ;
neither do we believe that any
other being can tell. Yet in the
face of all the arguments pro and
con we are constrained to say
from honest convictions that mo
uometalism is not the thing de
sired, whether it be silver or
The coinage of both gold and sil
ver on a parity seems to us to be
the proper, just and wise thing
to do. If the extreme silverites
want the free coinage of silver
alone, we do not endorse it. If
the goldhugs mean by “sound
money’’gold as the standard and
gold alone, we do not accept it.
It is well enough to have gold to
do the business with foreign na¬
tions,and silver for our own uses
at home. And yet there is no
necessity for the white metal to
he depreciated, nor the yellow
appreciated. Gold and sil ver as
the standard money for the Uni¬
ted Wtates would do the business
of our country, and be sufficient¬
ly valuable to satisfy all de¬
mands from our brethren across
the waters.
A paper currency redeemable
in gold and silver—coin—would
he most convenient for general
circulation. Still it is important
that the value of these metals be
settled--the one on a paiity with
the other, before any currency
hills could be issued.
If the free coinage of silver
means bimetalism—silver on a
parity with gold—then we are
for free silver. If Mr. Cleve¬
land’s platform is for the gold
standard, as the only money, to
the depreciation of silver, we are
not on that line.
DR. J. H. SIMS
Of Columbus, Ga., is visiting
for a few days Ins relatives in
ihe city. Dr. Sims is a iiue phy¬
sician, having practiced medi¬
cine for a number of years. He
is a gentleman of fine physique,
endowed with qualities and at¬
tainments which place him in
prominence as a successful prac¬
titioner in his noble profession.
He graduated with high honors,
and has since that time taken
post graduate courses iu New
York ; he has had extensive ex¬
perience in the large hospitals
of that city, and leaves today
for the great metropolis for the
purpose of revisiting the hospi¬
tals, and to fit himself for great¬
er achievements in the medical
world. He will go from there to
Denver, Colorado, where he will
locate. He has enjoyed a large
and lucrative practice both in
medicine and surgery,and is rec¬
ognized in the State as brainy
and progressive, We recom
mend him to the citizens wher
evei his lot may he cast; a gen¬
tleman socially, and worthy of
their esteem and patronage. His
friends with whom he has been
associated in different portions
of Georgia, his native State,
gret to see him leave, but trust
that in his new home he will
have that happiness and suc¬
cess which lie richly merits.
BIG ITEMS IN SMALL TYFE.

allowed under the law ; but fight
ing after the style of the profes¬

cuts off the Fitzsiinmons-Corbett
engagement in the U. S. so far
as is now known.
, , , .
past week has, as a whole, been
very favorable for the Georgia
planter and bis crops. Except
a few complaints of the ravages
of cut and hud worms and blight
in pears, reports from different
parts of the State indicate a gen¬
erally satisfied feeling on the
part of all farmers. In the most
southerly counties cotton is well
advanced and chopping is in
progress, hut further to the
north the entire crop has not
yet been planted. Corn will, no
doubt, again be a large crop for
the State.—Ga. Weather Bulle
