Augusta News: Are the silver men afraid
20 trust the silver question on its own merits
in congress: Is silver too weak to stand alone:
II would seem so, when the silver men insist
on coupling it with the present and altogether
different issue OF repeating the silver-purehase
law
Rome Tribune: Speaking Of cotton, am
reminded Of the fact that this year of strln
Eency is year Of opportunity. Rome wiz not
have competition at every road crossing. and
II we do not get G hundred thousand bales OF
cotton it viii either be our fault or be the re-
suit of a total arrangement Of business. 1ts
an i'll wind that blows no good. and If the signs
are not very deceptive the present situation
viii bring an enormous quantity OF cotton TO
Rome.
Covington's council closed down on the fc-
male baseballists who were to have RECALLED
that town on Tuesday. The Star says: There
will be no female baseball game played in
Covington today. 1t is all because the city
council has passed an ordinance prohibiting
females from playing ball in Coylngton, And
the star indorses their action because 1t IS
right. There should not be such game
played and there viii not be. And SO that
settles it.
Calhoun County Courier: The Central rail
road has ordered that all the houses in Ar
HngtOn occupying their lands be either painted
or white-washed at once else. their removal
will he demanded at once. Already the work
of the white-wash brush is noticeable. Would
that there was a like authority to extend such
improvement all over the town. The recent
heavy rains have seriously damaged the cot
ton crop in this section. While II may not
appear badly injured at present the
ground is so full of water that if the sun
should shine out in a few days the weed will
begin to scald and turn yellow and throw of
what fruit IL already has
Atlanta Herald: The unemployed Of other
cities and other sections are warned not to
come to Atlanta at this time. There is not
enough work for the men already here The
crowd Of unemployed that is seen on the
streets has been growing larger and larger,
and there are now a great many men here
who find it utterly impossible to get work.
Whatever the city can do for them will be
done. Atlanta does not intend that any OF
her worthy citizens shall suffer. But she is
just as determined that the bread that should
go to her own shall not be given to othors.
This is the time when every city and every
community is taking care Of its own affairs,
and Atlanta could not be expected to do
otherwise. We warn the unemployed OF
other cities to stay where they are, for while
Atlanta is getting along better than other
places, il is utterly impossible for new com
erS to find work here.
Mr.. r. II. Edmunds late editor of the Manu-
facturers' Record Of Baltimore, concludes
confident letter to the Augusta Herald as fol-
lows The accumulated wealth of the north
which must find a field for investment, dis
couraged by the many failures throughout
the west and the northwest viii be turned
into the south by millions. 1t will go into
cotton mil S. into iron works, into diversified
industries, into mineral and timber lands,
and into gold mining. for there is an abund-
ance Of gold in the south when the mining is
rightly managed. Moreover. there will be
large immigration from the west of the class
OF people which the south needs -small farm
ers who have saved up a little money,
skilled mechanics and others The
south Is the coming section OF this
great country, or, as the late Judge Kelley Of
Pennsylvania once said, the coming El Do
RADIO of American adventure So don worry
yourself about the south; and as for me, / can
only repeat that my faith was never stronger
and that expect to see greater prosperity in
the south in the near future than has been
seen since 1860
