It is said that there is a suit now pending in the superior court ol Lumpkin county over a space of .ground or.e inch wiue by 50 feet long that will require more time to try than any other case on the docket. _____ The moment an editor becomes conscious of the fact that he is not free to write his own ideas, and that ho is but the pliaut tool and me¬ chanical lackey of another or others, right then his true manhood, if he Las any, will assert it-elf.—Albany Herald. _ Bimetallism— honest bimetshsm -—will be the leaning issue in 1896, and it is safe to say this far in ad¬ vance that there will be no goldbugs elected to Congress in Georgia.— Albany Herald. And is the Elev¬ enth district going to shelye Hon. Henry G. Turner ? There are a great many wonder¬ ful things iu Georgia. The is Announced by the Tellair Enter¬ prise. it says: *‘Mr. Jeremiah Walker is the proud possessor of a fine pair of trained negro dogs.” This is a new breed of canines, and the Atlanta Journal thinks they should be exhibited among the curi¬ osities at the exposition. It is getting to be quite a popu¬ lar lad with tho ladies of tho cities to take charge of the daily papers and show the men how to run them for one day. The Albany Herald has been caught in tho swim and lias tendered tho Indies the control of its issue of March 27th to help lift a debt from the Methodist church of that city. The corps of editors and managers has already been announced and it goes without saying the issue will be a “daisy.” Since ex-Queen Lilioukilani, of Hawaii, has been sentenced to pay n fine of *5,000 and serve fiye years in prison for engaging in a plot to recover her throne, the naughty Al- liany Herald suggests that “Presi¬ dent Cleveland, who flirted with the dusky ex-Queen throughout the first year of his present reign, rais¬ ing her hopes to a high pitch only to leave her in the lurch of despair, ought now to step forward like a little man and pay her fine and then negotiate with the republic of Hawaii for her release.” The Rome Tribune pays this de¬ served compliment to Congressman Moses: “Congressmen like Judge Moses, of the Fourth district, are the need of the South. His bill in¬ creasing the pensions of widows of Indian war veterans from eight to twelve dollars per month puts sev¬ eral million more dollars in circula¬ tion in the Sooth each year that might go elsewhere. lie is a practi- cal poKtician-thc * “. kind we need.” " e commend . this paragraph , to the . Columbus Enquirer-Sun, the lead- ing daily paper in the Fourth dis- tnct, whose editor sneers at Con- greesman Moses because h. , ... advocate of free silver, and praises STKJrzsK Congressman Turner, (a goldbug) bis State as the Jour years of his vouDger colleague: INDIVIDUAL ACTION. Every fanner should act on the question of reducing the cotton acreage according to his own judg- merit, There is no question Lut that a genera) reduction of acreage will be beneficial to the price of the staple, but we see no hope of suc- cess for the movement now on foot to organize a gigantic (rust to con¬ trol the output of cotton. Writing on this line, the Bolivar County (Miss.) Democrat, published in the richest cotton raising district in tire world, thus sizes up the situ¬ ation in a nutshell: “There S iems to be a consensus of opinion that a lar^fe reduction of the area planted in cotton is necessary in order to raise the price of the staple to a paying busis, and it is almost equally certain that no reduc¬ tion will be male. When the coal trust sees too great an accumulation of coal upon the market tho mines a e closed until the surplus is dis¬ posed of and a satisfaciory pi ice is obtained. Manufacturing establish¬ ments of ail kinds pursue the same po!i< y and thereby save themselves from bankruptcy. But the mines and manufacturing ertablishments are owned and controlled by a few then w ho can comprehend the necessity of organization and harmonious ac¬ tion, while the cotton growers com¬ prise a vast multitude of people of every degree of intelligence and moral character, who cannot be depended upon to carry out in good faith any policy which may be agreed upon for the general good. That there are as many g@od and true men engaged in raising cotton as any other pursuit no candid observer will deny, but it is recognized fact that if it was generally believed that the acreage of cotton would be reduced 50 per cent, this year, the cotton crop of 1895-96 would be the largest on reoord. It is said that ‘the streets of Jerusalem were kept clean by every man sweeping befoie Ins own door,’ and that is the only hops we see for the cotton raiser. Let each individual adopt correct methods regardless of what others may do, and natural laws will do the rest.” A RAID ON THE TREASURY. A raid on the treasury for 15,000,- 000 to be paid to the sugar growers of the country, under the bounty clause of the McKinley law, was finally made by the Fifty-third Con¬ gress, by tacking the appropriation on to the sundry civil bill in the Senate and the amendment being agreed to by the House. The Re¬ publicans voted almost solidly for the this outrageous raid upon the treasury. The Georgia members of the House voted solidly against it, but Mr. Wilson, who framed the tariff' bill which repealed the sugar bounty favored the amendment, as did Mr. Cleveland. A sensational incident occurred near the close of the session on Saturday night, when Congressman Hendricks, of New York, replied to William L. Wilson’s speech in favor of the $5,000,000 sugar bounty. Mr. Hendricks denounced it as a grand raid upon the treasury and charged that the charge of front on Wilson’s part, from a free trader to an advo¬ cate of paying a sugar bounty, enme after being entertained on a planta¬ tion in Louisiana and after bearing into the House a cabinet porfollo. Wilson made no reply. The Atlanta Journal and other papers of a like way of thinking ar¬ rogate to themselves all the Demo¬ cracy in Georgia and make the egregious error of thinking that the “woods are full” of their followers. A remark made by Hon. John W. Forrester, ot Leesburg, in our pres¬ ence the other day ought to enlight¬ en them, but it won't. Mr, Forres¬ ter said he was an ardent admirer of Mr. Cleveland, but added, “I* am the only one in Lee county.” And it is almost the same way in all the other counties in Georgia, and prob¬ ably other Southern States. “The most popular lecture ‘The now is *hat ol Gen. Gordon on Last of the Confederacy Philadelphia ’ He re- pealed it in a -few night8 ago to a larger au dience than ever. Gen. Gordon said that he would rather merit the appellation of. PP*ce maker than wear the ££*?$£ Telegraph. But lhe doughty General is pre- re,am the P^t'cal r e r crown which he * now wears, and does nol merit. A Miracle in Vermont.
