Americas, Os., Ootober 13, 1891, Italy and the state of New Tork h*Te s bond of sympathy. Both so far refuse to participate in the World’s Fair. Bey, Weyman H. Potteb, a proml nent Methodist minister and late editor Of the Wesleyan Christian Advocate,died at Austlll, Georgia, near Atlanta, on Sunday night, ' Jay Gould, quoting from “Rock me to Sleep Mother,” says he Is “tired of •owing tor others to reap.” Jay might have thought of this a few days before “Black Friday,” when he began sowing destruction for his fellow man to reap. Tbebk was a considerable fall of snow In the Northwest last week, and the frosts in that region were severe enough to kill all garden vegetation and nip the fall pasturage. The weather bureau re ports it the coldest weather on record so early in the season. The trial of Prof. Briggs lor alleged heresy, by the Now Tork Predbytery, has been assigned for the 4th of Novem ber. Some of his friends still hope that a trial may be averted, and they will probeb’v « ' ■< -o—' o when tiro 1.. j wiiiiu, b^^biu,, ior the tiiol. Orth H. Stein is a noted forgor and counterfeiter. Us aorved a term In the Florida penitentiary for forging a check on Harper A Bros, of New Tork, and while there developed wonderful talents as a poet and draughtsman. It la said that while he was in the penitentiary, the state was offered <3,000 per year for bis services as an engraver. Some of the newspapers are again in- dniglng in intimations that Hr. Blaine is In poof health. Tbo Boston-Traveller claims to have direct and authoritative information that Mr. Blaine Is now en joying excellent hoalth, and is in the best of splritf. It is probably true, as reported, that he will not take an aotive part in any political campaign this year. Thebe is no better sign of substantial prosperity than to see the country boom ing with agricultural fairs. There are going to be three magnificent ones In Georgia, besides others in the neighbor ing states. Sumter county, in the per son of Mr. J. T. Bosss, will bo at the Piedmont and will be sure to capture a prise, unless somebody stirs up wonder fully. It is said that Victoria Woodhull Is coming over to this country to lecture on “social reform.” Vie was a free iorer when a citizen of the United States, and her affinity was Colonel -Blood. She went to England when this country grew too small for her, married an English millionaire, and “reformed.” Sbe Is a good example of radical refor mation, in praetloe If not in theory. The Republican papers are publishing tables to prove that the McKinley bill bas cheapened everything, tin and sugar aBke. Their argument seems to bo that the raising or taking off of the tariff has the same effeot, and is a blessing either way If done by a Republican congress. Free trade in sugar, raised by the South, is as great a blessing as protected tin, made only In the North. This Is the logie of sectionalism, upon which the Republican party Is founded. One of the most Important features of Mr. Gladstone’s speech at Newcastle was bis announcement that the Liberals, when they regain poesession of the government, will confer on local bodies the powsr of taking land for the purpose of distributing it in small allotments to the landless laborers. The plan thus publicly avowed has for its aim the con quest of the English counties at the next general election by the aid of the villa- gen who obtained the franchise in 1885. Light frost was reported Thursday morning as far south as Shreveport, La., and perhaps reached Mississippi. This Is the second time the cottonbelt has felt the touch of antumn, as on Wednesday “killing" frosts occurred in Arkansas. Solar this season, however, frost has done no very serious damage to ootton. But Its extension to the lower Missis sippi valley should be taken as a warn ing that it may soon visit a large portion of the cotton belt, and also the tobacco belt. MONBOE COUNTY VS. THE WORLD. A correspondent of the Constitution at Barnesvilie writes: While at the picnic at Prospect church last Thursday, t sot some facts about a reo-arka- ble family It Is the family of Mr. W. H. Thurmond, the famous Inventor of the car- coupler that la now very popular In the rail road world. Mr. Thurmond's family con sists of twenty-five eons and daughters, which Is probably the largest family In this section. Another remarkable fact about It Is hat eighteen of bl« chlldreo, and If we re member coriectly, eighteen sons, now pos sess diplomas from the leading schools or the country, end are all doing exceedingly well In the vocations which they have chosen “Necessity Is the mother of Invention,” and this may account for the Invention of the Thurmond cer-ooupler. The editor of The Times-Rbcobdeb is well acquainted with this remarkable Monroe oounty man and his family; and about 1880 or '81 assisted Hr. Thurmond to take out the patent on the coupler out of which be will probably realize fortune. In tbla connection it may be stated that two other Monroe county families are on a par with Mr. Thurmond'e; one of Mr. Alfred Meddlebrooka, who had twenty-four children; and the other, Rev. Benj. Haygood, who had twenty-six. Now let Sumter county come to the front with a record to beat thla if ahe can. THAT HAST. Tuts is tbe cloud with a vnrniihlng silver lining as it appears to Editor Mc- Ctine of the National Economist: “Gradually but surely tbe Democratic politicians are drifting away from free coinage. It la romarkable how easily the people's representatives change their opinions. When congress adjourned tbe Democratic party woa Iond in ita de mand for free coinage, but since then matters have assumed a fsr different aspect. Wall street bas boon making use of its peculiar mothods witli the usual effect. Prominent Democratic papers arc now outspoken against free coinage, and both senators and congress men are either talking ngainst it or keeping quiet with but few exceptions. From present appearances the people will out fare auy better in regard to financial relief at tbo hands of a Demo cratic majority than they did at tbe hands of a Republican congress.” The divided factions in Ireland seem all the more embittered and estranged because of Parnell’s death. The fol lowers of the doad leader seem to con sider that he was a martyr to persecu tion, which it is their duty to resent by continued opposition to hit enemies. This U unfortunate in that It must work barm to Ireland and the cause of home rule. There should be n general recon ciliation now while all parties should re member only the virtues of the deprrted great. No man ever did more In leu time for Ireland's emancipation than did Parnell; and while tbe ono error of his life will bo forgiven, his name will go down to history u one of the greatest of the many patriots who have -made Ireland illustrious. While all the editors are congratulat ing ex-Presldent Cleveland on his late acquisition, and the enhancement of hie political prospect* thereby, Editor Dana of the Sun that “shines for all" (except Grover) is redoubling his wrath; and spoutJita’out venom like Vesuvius In an w£SyU3?* > E<litor Dans is not softened by the sweet Influence of the domes tie happiness that is overflowing from the Cleveland cup, but grows more violent as the eooing of the little heiress sp- to that effect ' forth* presidency.—Age-Herald- “Tub People’s Pasty Paper," the new third party organ,by Elam Christian, published In Atlanta, has made Its ap pearance, and a copy hu reached The Times-Recobder office.

The sheriff never yet scooped a paper that hadn't started out on the ume platform, and unleu there are a great many third psrtyltes hidden out in tbo woods, this new venture will go the way of other pioneers. Monboe oounty, Georgia, hu three citizens who have lived under every president from Wuhlngton to Hsrrison. They are Alexander Perkins, Cyrus Sharp, sr, and Andrew Zellner. They are rupectively 07, 04 and 03 yoars old. They are not all yet u old as were sev eral other citizens of that county at their death; Robert MoGough having died at 100, Thomu Battle at 08, William Evers at 00, John M. Chambliss at 06, and George W. Driskell at 04. Tbe woods are full of them from 75 to 00, who will come along into notoriety when they grow old. Twkmny years ago, on Friday eve ning, Mrs. O'Leary’s famous cow kicked over a lamp and started a Are that swept Chicago from the south branch of the river to the lake and from Coogreu street on the south to Centre street on the north—ono of the most extended and most costly firs ever known. To day, Chicago, if she remembers Mrs. O'Leary's cow at all, would probably be Inclined to erect a monument In the an imal's honor. For, though It wu a dreadful fire for Chicago people, the city It finer and better In every way for tbe destruction of her wooden house*. Cleveland Leader: Grover Cleveland is hereby informed that catnip tea it on tbe free list. Indianapolis Journal: It Is likely that the new third party will cause Mr. Cleveland many sleepleu nights from now on. New Haven Register: One touch of nature makes tbe whole world kin. Everybody is congratulating ex-Presi- dent Cleveland now. Brooklyn Eagle: May the little daughter grow to womanhood u gentle, gracious and exemplary u that which the mother incarnates and incites. Richmond Dispatch: We extend to Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland our congratula tions upon the birth of their daughter. They should name her Virgin!*. St. Louis Republio: We regret to say t, but Mrs. Cleveland hu disappointed the just expectations of Democrats throughout the country. It should have been a boy! Wuhlngton Post: It can no longer be said by hla Republican enemiu that Grover Cleveland ia opposed to the in fant industries of thla country. New Tork Advertiur: Mr. Cleveland’s statement that tbe baby ia good maybe taken u an early notification to thou whom It may concern that it ia not Ukely to require any of its father’s personal at tention during the next presidential cam- deign. Kansu City Times: If the mothers of tbe land had a vote nothing could defeat Mrs. Cleveland’s election to any stated office. A demand for her reinstatement at the White House may arise which will knock into smlthoreons any local squabbles in Now Tork. Baltimore Sun: Mr. Ulevelsud bu al ways proclaimed that public office Is a public trust, and be bu now shown that bo recognizes bis obligation In private life to what the political economists and philosophers have always deolarod to be one of tbe highest dutlu of the trne patriot. Baltimore News: Our joy Is tempered with sympathy, u we are on the edge of winter, and these young and innocent parents do not know what la before them. Buides, Mr. Cleveland la not built to wik a shouting baby in a cold room at midnight in abbreviated attire, with credit to himself, benefit to the country, or complete utisfsetlon to either his wife or tbe baby.
