4 Stupendous JED.

The taking of the National CEN
sus is a stupCndous job. No less
than $4,000 enumerators will be
employed, besides a hundred States
and district supervisors and thous>
ands Of special agents,experts, Chiefs
of divisions and clerks all working
under the supervision of the Census
Commissioner. On the FIRST Mons
day in June of rext year about
so, 900 men will start out in quest
of information. They will knock
at the door of every habitation in
the United States during the
month, the enumerators in cities
being required to complete their
labors in half that time. 1t is es>
timated that when all these reports
on population come IN they will ex-
coed in bulk / 800 merchants led
gers, and that the reports on other
subjects, such as taxation. schools,
etc, would make stack, il piled
one about the other, twice as high
as Washington's monument. The
cost will be about Sc, 100000, or a
little less than 10 cents for each
inhabitant, big and little, of the
country. The greatest gains will
be in the West, but the south will
show to better advantage il point
of per cent. of increase in both
wealth and population Than the
East.

Well Done Governor Cor .icn.

A great crime and outrage was
committed in Twiggs county, Geor>
gia, on the night Of February IS.
The papers agree substantially as
to the focts. There was colored
school on the farm of Mr.. j. Fl.
Ward that a few white men dis
liked, and determined to break up.
They disguised themselves and
went to the house OF Jerry King,
a patron OF the school, and unmer-
cifulIy whipped his two children.
They next went to the house where
a co!ored girl, a teacher in the
school, boarded, and being refused
admittance, broke the windows an |
doors, aad fred guns and pistols
into the house. The girl escaped
by hiding between the mattress
and Stats of her bed, in which scv~
eral bullete were found after the
party lett.
As soon as the Governor was put
in possession of the facts by eiti-
zens of the county, who condemn
the outrage, he promptly offered a
reward OF s250for the apprehension
of the parties who committed the
foul assault. The Govorner evi>
IDENTIFY intends to stop all "A hite
Cap" proceedings in this State, and
we honor him for it. Such Geeds
belong to a state OF barbarlsm, and
should have no place in a Christian
commonwealth.

How to Srsreed in spstssss.

Already the spring trade is be-
ginning. The indications point to
Il good season, with plenty of bust
ness and a satisfactory showing of
profits. The general course of trade
will bein the direction of harmony,
confidence and general prosperity.
The merchant will get along all
rightifhe knows to capture custom.
The records of century prove that
the most successful rule yet devils
ed consists of fair dealing and judi
cious advertising, No establish
ment can long continue on basis
of fraud. 1t most deal honestly
Rnd hohorably with its patrons,
That settled, it must get its COM
stituency. 1t can do this by adver-
Using. There is no sentiment in
trade, People buy where they can
be assured fgood bargains at reas-
enable figures, and they are at,
tracted to theseplaces mare by what
they read than by any other way,
There is another feature to this
subject. People undoubtedly buy
at places which advertise, not only
because they are attracted by the
advertisement, hut because they
can get the best bargains at places
that do advertise. Large slles
| and small profits is the secret of
success of every great retail estab,
lishment in this country. Those
establishments were enabled to
make those sales, because they adj

Terrell at the Road Congress.

The public roads of this county
are reported to be in a bad condi.
ton. Why should Terrell county
be asleep in this matter while all
around her is activity? Especial
ly should this not be the case When
a scheme is on tu0t for the better
meut of her public roads. This
question concerns every citizen
within the county's boundary, and
none should feel so unconcerned
for the county's good as to pass ii
by UNDECIDED. The road congress
will soon assemble in Atlanta for
the purpose of discovering ways
for the better keeping of the pub
lie roads of our state. Terrell
should by all means be represent
ed. Bear the road congress in
mind and send representatives.

Political Rgmors.

1t is again rumored that Senator
Brown will resign in time for the
Georgia legislature to elect his
successor during the next summer
session. This rumor assumes that
Gov. Gordon will be elected Sen,
ator; then, of course President of
the Senate DuBignon will be gov
ernor until another election to fill
that Office is held. 1t is further
assumed that this condition will
make DuBignon the leading can
didate in 1890. In any event, the
campaign in Georgia next
year will be exceedingly lively.

That the farmers of Terrell corn

who argne to the contrary, by
this we do not mean that they are

more selfsustsining each year
