LET Us ADVANCE.

There seems to be a disposition on
the part of some of our citizens to in
ject the prohibition issue into the cam
paign for mayor and aldermen of our
city. This Is certainly very much to be
deplored, and The Times-Recorder
trusts that the people will not permi
this question, which has been settled
in our county, to influence their votes
In the approaching election. 1t Is a
well known fact that this question of
prohibition, unfortunately, divides the
people of a community more than any
other question of the day, and The
Times Recorder had hoped that all dis
sension of the local option campaign,
through. which we passed two years
ago, had subsidized, and that our people
were now ready to unite upon plat
form of municipal progress.
The census report shows Americas to
be the third largest of Georgia's smaller
cities, and if we will bury issues that
are not pertinent, unite in the common
cause Of prosperity and commercial
progress, we can carry our little city
far ahead of her rivals in the contest
for commercial supremacy.
Let us advance-let us get together
on the real issue; the paramount issue
and the only lssue-progress of Ameri-
Gus, and win for her place in the front
rank of Georgia's municipalities. The
mayor and city council will have moth
ing whatever to do with the local option
law, which is already of force. 1t is,
and was, a question for the county, and
has been determined, and The Times
Recorder is sure that none of the gent
lemen who have announced would, if
they could, interfere with its operation.
Now, then, gentlemen, select your
candidates from the number who have
announced, independently of settled
issue, but with view to the welfare of
Americas and her people.

s1ss1E SMITH GETS MARRIED.

Editor Gus Morrow of the Jonesboro
Enterprise learns of the marriage of
Cuyler Smith, of Atlanta, and express
es his views upon the nuptiaIs IN the
following unique style. 1t is Gus Nor
rows own, and the Times-Recorder
gladly helps him air his sentiments:
His Idiotic Highness, lebanon Guy
Ter Smith, Atlanta's affected aesthetic
and authority on etiquette and gen
ealogy, enthusiastic horseman, immac-
ulate exponent of sartorial art, inven-
tor of sensational shirt waist for men
and withal a very unique and pictures
que sort of simpleton, was married at
noon on Wednesday in the Waldorf-As-
toria hotel in NewYork, and the Atlanta
newspapers had conniptlon fits over the
news. Please pass US the smelling
salts while we breathe prayer Of sym
pathy for the California heiress bride
who has linked herself to this cheap
imitator of Oscar Wilde. But, as
said the old woman who kissed the
COW: Everyone to his own taste. "

Argentina is one of the few countries

Argentina is one of the few countries
where the credit system is preferred by
sellers to cash. The law there COM
peIs every man to make to designated
officials periodical statements of his
business, and if his debts are more than
he can pay his business Is at once in
vestigated and taken charge of. If he
goes into debt with the view of beating
any body severe penalties are imposed.
The result of this is very few bank
ruptcies and little or no fraud. The
credit system is so safe that whole
sale merchants prefer 1t to cash, for
they thus save the usual discounts.

THE FARMER AND POLITICS

- It is difficult to understand why any
one who is farmer can be republi-
can In politics. OF all men else repub-
lioan politics bear hardest on the farm
er. The farmer is chief victim of that
party's vicious legislation and he re-
ceives none of the fayors conferred by
special legislation upon corporations
and other monied interests. He pays
more than his full share of taxes and
receives less benefit than any other
class. The policy of the republican
party tends to lessen the value of farms
and drives the sons of farmers into
seeking precarious existence in towns
and cities, and yet in the face of all
this there are farmers who are so
blinded by prejudice and hate that in
spite OF all that can be SAID will go to
the polls aud vote the republican
ticket. When will their eyes be OMEN
ed to the fact.

spreading was done he smacked his lips
tightly and took n generous bite.
No, it wasn't jelly. 1t was soft soap.

THE SPANISH TREATY.
Bsnator Jones Says President Mckinley
Refuses TO Mako Public the Com
fonts OF tho Document.

Chicago, Oct. Ex-senator Jones,
chairman Of the democratic national
committee, made the following state
ment yesterday: "The instructions
given to the commissioners on the
part OF the United States to negotiate
the treaty with. Spain in Paris in 1893
have never, SO far as i know, been
made public. When the treaty was be-
tore the senate for ratification there
was a great demand that these in
structions shor Id be made public. So
great was the desire for information
that many newspapers published what
was claimed to be inside information
about what these instructions con-
tanned. But for some reason, and
doubtless not nm unimportant one,
this desire WIS not gratified. The
president, In his letter Of acceptance,
quoted q part of these, as I under
stand, secret instructions. / adj
dressed him in note October s, call
ing his attention to this fact, and re-
quested that ipasmuch as the part OF
the instructions which he considered
favorable to the position of his po-
litical party was SO used by him the
remainder should be made public
Conceiving II impossible that the
president Of the United States would
use part of secret document for the
advancement Of his personal fortunes
and the interests of his own political
party, and at the same time refuse
to the public the remainder of this
document, expected to have
prompt answer from the president. I
have now waited for more than two
weeks and have not had the honor
Of an acknowledgment even Of the re-
ceipt Of my note"
