Hkai.k, Ai.a., duly 23. This is written from the
'midst of wlmt was in the old south, and what is
again in the new south, the kingdom of cotton.
King cotton is now re-enthroned under free
labor. There is now more cotton raised in the
south annually than ever in the days “before tin*
war,” ami yet.it is said that the plantation is
not as remunerative as in “old times. M The
yield of cotton is now nearly an average of seven
million bales, and the average before the war
was hut a trifle over four million. This heavy
increase in the crop has been brought about by j
the wonderful increase of the cotton acreage pro
duced by the use of fertilizers. By this means
promised to accept an invitation to the Long
view farmers’ club reunion to-morrow. Then we
shall have more t" say of this institution and of
its beneficial results, ft will be held at Mr.
Thomas Brannon's, and the entire club with
their families are expected to be present. You
may expect something in refen nee to it.

The receipts of cotton at the United States
whole are inclined to be careful, but, in the fu- .
ture, with a lengthened morning session, it will |
be harder still for them to secure for their pupils |
a perfect nir to breathe. It is to be feared that
more of them will come home from school with
aching heads a ihI pale faces, and in some cases
even faint lYom want of food. It is not always the
children’s fault that they cannot carry a nourish
ing lunch to school.
Lastly, for these and other reasons, the number
in attendance is sure to diminish more than for
merly, as the spring and summer months come
on and the children grow tired with the longer
morning sessions. Those of us parents, who love
our children’s best interests, who, in tlu* beauti

the increase of the cotton crop when the use of
fertilizers shall have become systematic and gen

HOW ARE THE CROPS?
is the interesting question just now. no matter
what may be the influence that has increased the
cotton yield. The reports that have reached the
Enquirkr-8un office have not been such as to
lead to tin* belief that extra crops would be made
in any section. I am now in the cotton fields
and corn fields, and so far as this section here is
concerned, have seen for myself. If anybody
says or insinuates that the crops are not good i«i
this section, contradict it flat-footedly. I have

THE FARMERS OF RUSSELL
and particularly in this immediate section, have
taken such steps as must result in bringing agri
culture up to its highest development. A society
has been formed here, and known as the “Long
view Farmers Club,” which was organized about
two years ago—in fact, the second annual anni
versary will take place to-morrow. They have
regular monthly meetings which partake more
in the nature of a social character. The funner-,
j their wives and children, and not unfrequently
I inched guests, attend these meetings which nre
IVrsoiiiil. held at some member's house.

An ice cream party complimentary to Miss
Maggie Bell, of Montgomery, was given lost
night at the residence of Mr. J. W. Pease. There
were present a good number of the younger
society couples, who spent the evening very en
joy ably.
Miss Bell will leave for her home to-day, much
to the regret of her many friends in this city.
Death of Dr. .1. L. Baker.
Dr. J. L. Baker died at his res idence, at Buena
Vista, Thursday morning. His remains were
iuterred the afternoon of the same day.
Dr. Baker was a prominent citizen of Marion
county. He was seventy-two years of age, a
Mason in good standing, and was highly re
spected by all who kncw.him. He was the father
of Mrs. Hnmp Stevens, of this city, who has the
sympathy of many friens in her sad bereavement.

The independents, after agreeing to have a joint
discussion with the representatives oftlu* regular
democratic nominees, refused to allow the demo

arranged between the contestants, was that one
was to close the debate on one day, and vice
versa.
At Salem the independent refused to allow tlu* I

that the democrats would get the close at
Browneville to-night.

A RIDF. THROUGH LONGVIEW.
This is a neighborhood extending a few miles
northeast ofHeale, the county site, though there
ore many members of the club who live iu the
neighborhood south and below the railroad. But
i*i riding through this particular community t« -
day I was struck with the general appearance of
the residences and home premises. The people
live, they do not merely stay. I could see with
out the telling that some influence had done its
perfect work. Every house looked as neat and
fresh as a new-blown rose. The yard fences were
in order and none of tlu* gates off the hinges.
Beautiful flowers blossomed in the yards, and
tender vines entwined themselves around the
colonades and porches along which fair hands
had placed a cord for their support. Rare* hot
house plants bedecked the flower stands and
lovely evergreens shaded the walks in the flower
ga rden.

us that while melons are plentiful here, several
very fine ones have recently been sent down

there is a probability of establishing a new sta

Atlanta, Ga., July 23.—The Atlantas defeated
the Memphians to-day without any trouble and
by the victory went to the front in the race for
the flag again. Bryuan was put in the box for
the Tennesseans with Fusselbnck to support
him. The heavy hitters of the league found no
trouble in hitting Brynan and got ten hits, with
a total of twenty-five bases. Lyons, Strieker
and Lynch knocked home runs. The Mem
phians found Shaffer for only five hits.
1500 people witnessed the game. The Atlantas
lifive now a clear lead over Savannah and intend
to keep it, or make somebody play ball.
Much sympathy is expressed here for Goldsby,
Dundon and Bittman. Cincinnati to-day made
an oiler of.$1000 for Lyons and asked for figures on
Purcell and Lynch. They don’t get them, how
ever.
The score by innings to-day was as follows:

A Manly Letter Knnn lion. A. D. Freeman—Com

The Enquirer-Sun has received a manly letter
from Hon. Alvin D. Freeman, of Coweta county,
one of the defeated candidates for congress, in
which he heartily endorses the nomination of
Hon. Thomas W. Grimes, and his frank and
open conduct during the campaign. Col. Free
man not only pledges his earnest support of the
nominee, but says he will canvass the district in
his interest should occasion arise for so doing.
Those who know Col. Freeman expected, of
course, that he would endorse the action of his
party in convention.
comments of the press.
Merriwether Vindicator: “Hon. T. W. Grimes,
the democratic nominee for congress iu this dis
trict, is a fine lawyer and a young man of ability
and promise. While Meriwether preferred Col
onel Harris, let the county give Tom Grimes a
rousing vote. Columbus has often stood bv
Meriwether’.-* choice, let Meriwether now roll
up a big vote for the man Columbus delights to
honor.’’
Augusta Chronicle : “Hon. Thomas W. Grimes
has already acquire^ an enviable reputation in
Georgia and will no doubt win national fame at
Washington. He is one of the young men who
know how to climb to the top where, as Webster
said, there was plenty of room.”
Montgomery Advertiser: “Mr. Thomas W.
Grimes, of Columbus, was nominated on Tues
day last as the democratic candidate for congres
from the fourth district of Georgia. He is a
young man of decided ability, who has already
made a splendid leputatiow at home, and will
add to it oil the broader field to which his fellow-
citizens have called him.”
Newnan special to the Atlanta Constitution .
“The nomination of Hon. Thomas W. Grimes for
congress from tl is district is heartily approved
and endorsed by Coweta county. While we were
disappointed in not securing the nomination of
Coweta's choice, we feel that the district could
not have named a worthier man than Grimes,
nor one who could render the district more faith
ful and effective service. He is a true man, and
in intellect the peer of any man Georgia will
have in the fiftieth congress.”

The Mobiles and the* Amateur* played the last
of the series of games between them at%tarpark
yesterday afternoon. The* Amateurs put Smith
in the box and the Mobiles found in him a regu
lar picnic, batting him all over the field, and
aided by the numerous errors of the locals,
j they succeeded in scoring thirteen runs in the
first three or four innings. The Amateurs then
| changed off Smith for Whitehurst, and the visi

| and failing to score a run during the entire* game.
It may be said in behalf of the Amateurs that
they entered the game very much
j discouraged. They had gone to considerable
expense to get the Mobiles here, and although
yesterday afternoon was as favorable as it could
have been, the attendance was very small. The
boys were disheartened, and under the circum

deepest interest in their welfare every way. It
is, therefore, wit 11 regret that I see the trustees
have voted to increase, by half an hour, the

Dear Sir—A few years ago you induced me to
take out an Accident Policy in the Travelers, and
upon your persuasion I have kept it up year by
year, not at all anticipating the possible benefit
to accrue. But I have now to thank you for it
as well as for the Company’s check of $353.57 in
payment of my claim for many weeks of disabil
ity. the result of a very painfhl accident, threat
ening the loss of my right hand. After this ex
perience of how it is “the unexpected which al
ways happens,” 1 shall certainly keep up my
Accident Policy, and 1 shall not forget the
promptness of the Company in paying my claim
as soon ns the amount could be ascertained.
