EDITORIAL NOTES.
Walter Nolan, of Morgan coun
ty. made an attempt to commit
suicide in Augusta last week.
Wc have no objection to Gov.
Gordon being Vice-President. In
tact we would like it.
Tom Woolfolk tried to make
his escape from jail in Macon on
Tuesday night by the use ot a
pocket knife, but was detected
before succeeding.
The Augusta Gazette furnishes
the following reflection, upon the
recent hanging in Chicago: “An
archism will probably be a little
more retiring in Chicego hereaf
ter.’’
, It seems that the Knights of
Ijabor in Augusta and the South
ern Workman (formerly the Globe
■and Lance) are at “outs.” A large
number of the Knights refuse to
'recognize the paper as their or
««n.
Every inch of ground is being
•contested by the antis and prohi
bitionists in Atkina, and if com

A dynamite cartridge was ex
ploded in a gutter alongside the
reside of Jacob Wise, a retired
<eapiUlist of Wheeling, West Vir
ginia, one night last week. The
iforco of the explosion tore out the
.paving stones of the gutter. The
• miscreants are unknown.
An exchange savs the following
dines were written by a convict
•serving a sentence of twenty
years. His father had left him
,S4O ,000, and by profligacy ho had
•run through it in a year:
The old, old story, Charlie,
Os pleasures that end in tears ;
The froth that foams for an hour,
The dregs that are tasted for years.
it is currently stated that on
Friday last the contractors on the
A. X C. Railroad withdrew their
forces from the work. The rea
son assigned is that the officials of
the road are about $30,000 behind
with them. This is but a case of
history reproducing itself in build
ing railroads. It is stated, how
ever, that the directors are deter
mined to go on with the work.
One of the most inconsistent
specimens of humanity in our
judgment, is to see a preacher of
the gospel joining heart and hand
with the harangue of a meeting in
the interest of the whisky busi
ness, and yet Atlanta just now
presents such a scene. Shame,
oh sluune, upon the man who
would thus “rob the livery of
Heaven to serve the devil.”
The Jacksonville News-Herald
observes very truly that one ofthe
happiest conditions possible is for
the millionaire who expends
SI,OOO annually on his individual
person, to sit in a handsomely
furnished apartment, by a warm
fire and at; >le laden with luxu
ries, and write a learned diserta
tion to poor men advising them
how easy it is to live on only S2OO
a year.
As the question is often asked.
“What are the Anarchists?” we
copy the following from the At
lanta Constitution for the benefit
of those who wish to oe inform
ed :
Bi.oomi modale, Ala., Editors Con
stitution: Are the Anarchists a reli
| gious body of men ? Where did they
originate, and what do they believe?
Webster’s definition of the word an
i archist, does not fully satisfy me. ,
R. C. H.
The Anarchists have never been
credited with any religion worth
speaking of. They are the enemies
of society and government as they now
j exist. They would destroy every
thing, confiseate all property and di
-1 vide it out, and then establish aso
cialistic communistic republic. Some
idea of their methods will be given
by the following extracts from an edi-
I torial written by Anarchist Parsons:
Nothing but an uprising of the
I people ami a bursting open of all
stores and storehouses to the free ac
cess of the public, and a free applica
tion of dynamite to every one who
opposes, will relieve the world of this
infernal nightmare of property and
wages.
*****
If we would achieve our liberation
from economic bondage and acquire
our natural rights to life ami liberty,
every man must buy a Colt’s revol
ver, a Winchester rifle, and learn Irow
to make and use dynamite.
limit HIE AREA.
The Augusta Gazette strikes
the key note in the following re
marks :
The farmers of the South ought to
reduce the areas given to crops. This
would enable them to manure their
crops more highly and to give them
better returns. In largo areas under
cultivation, the expenses increase at
a more rapid rate than the profits;
and where there is a failure in a crop,
planted on a large scale, the conse
quences are, of course, far more dis
astrous, and much more difficult to
recover from.
WHAT OTHERS SAY.
Dawson News: Dr. H. H. Tucker,
the good and venerable Christian, no
longer holds his position as editor of
the Christian Index, published in At
lanta. It is said that the prohibi
tionists held meetings at the opera
house on Sunday, making speeches
with loud hurrahs and cheering.—
These meetings were headed by the
ministers of the city. Dr. Tucker,
considering this un-Cbristian-like and
a desecration of the Lord’s day, wrote
an article i:: his paper severely criti
cising the meetings. This was the
whole cause of the trouble. Dr.
Tucker was correct in the stand he
took in the matter. Prohibitionists
have no more right to hold business
meetings with big speaking, laying
out plans for the campaign, than have
those who advocate the other side of
the question. It is a great shame on the
people of Atlanta that such meetings
are held on the Sabbath and it is a
pity that the city has not within its
limits more Dr. Tuckers.
SPECULATION IN COTTON.
It is announced in our commercial
columns that the speculation in cot
ton shows a larger advance in the
price than has been known for five
years. This is attributed to a short
crop, and we are afraid it presages a
speculative combination in this es
sential staple.
\\ e do not encourage these enter
prises among our commercila friends.
They almost invariably end in disas
ter, not alone to those directing them,
but to the people who depend ft
food and raiment upon certain mark
ets. The speculative deal in wheat
last summer was severe enough in its
consequences to be remembered fora
generation. And next to wheat there
is nothing more dangerous to meddle
with than cotton.—New York Herald.
We call special attention to the
above timely words from the Her
ald, and our farmers should take
care that the recent flurry in cot
ton doesn’t work financial injury
next season by stimulating them
to planting too large an area in
the fleecy staple—sufficient at least
to cause a great falling off just at
the time they need to realize on it.
