ami being soinewliai of a novhv loo, has

anything on time, hut always |iay tin*
rash as they go; men who have some
thing always to sell. Bin I re|M*al, not

curious to observe ln*w they dilfer in
their opinions ami thi*oric» altoul farm
ing. The young planter feels almost dis
couraged in the very outset hy Ibis tt*n-
llict of views, itmI is soon driven to the
'oiidusioii that if lie cx|M*cls to make a
farmer lie? must learn to rely at once
ii|m»ii his own individual judgment and
w hat he may gather hy experience. Let
offer one or two illustrations iu
support of this |M*sitiou, for I would not

country, for they art? the kings of any

ample: In Terndl et Minty our farmers are
running largely cm cotton seed; i. e.,
what is known as “the little seed” ami
“l lie. big seed.” A ^Saturday or I wo ago
llic w riter started out, determined to sti
lus mind talon* the sun went down
what kind of cotton seed he would plant
this year. Having |s»sit*d himself as tt*
whom the |s*ople regarded the mind en
terprising ami intelligent farmers, lie
thus accosted the first one* he mel: “Mr.
mild like to have your views as to
the tast variety of cm toil seed tt# plant?”
Why, sir,” says Mr. A., “h.v all
means do you plant the? little seed. I
wouldn't have the l*ig seed if you wen* to
give them to me.”
“Well,” thought I, “that, settles it.
I’ll plant the little seed.” St* Mr. A.
ami I parted, and I felt grateful that In*
hail st* summarily dis|*t»scd of that all-
|H*rplexiug question of “cotton seed.”
As I sauntered along the street, however.

Mice, and I thought to myself “now 1
'hall make my assurance in the ‘little

“Will you In* kind enough, sir, tt* ad
vise me as to the most prolific mid tast
kind of cotton seed to plant?”
“Why, certainly,” was Mr. IL’s n*-
|m»iisc, w ith a hall-suppressed smile at
the writer’s inexcusable ignorance on
this all-im|s*rtaiit subject of cotton seed;
*by all means do you plant the big seed.
Why, sir,”continued Mr. IL, “noamount
of money could induce me to plant any
•tlier kind.”
“Well,” thought 1 to myself, “this no
settle it.”
I have never forgiven myself to this
lay for asking Mr. IL ataut tht»se cotton
Seed. He turned me upside dow n, ami I
have taen walking with my head on cot
ton seed ever since. No amount of in
quiries now relieves me. Every other
man I meet is for the little seed, ami the
next one, lie’s lor big ’uns. I know of
hut one way for the? voiiug planter to
settle this question—and that is to try
both, eh?
The same is true in regard tt* the use
of fertilizers. Scarcely can any two men
In* found who will agtvc* ii|n»ii the kii|»c-
riorlly of any given brand of guano. The
same difference* of opinion obtains in the
luethtHls of applying guano. Some ar
gue, put it ill deep; ami some an* to In*
fhiuid who say, put it in with the seed.
Now, Mr. Editor, so far from intrud
ing It* retire! U|n»ii the intelligence of the
planter, this article demons!rates to a
rtainty that farmers, after all, an* tin*
most ind*'|H*!ident class of |nm»|»I«* we
have, for every single one of them has
his own opinion altout how farming
ought tt* In* done, and he d«N*s ir.
In Terrell our farms, ns a rule, an
italler than those of Dougherty; l*nt l
venture the assertion, w ithout fear of
.ticcessful contradiction, that then 1
more goml farming done in Terrell coun
ty, aeeonling to the area, than any coun
ty in Southwest Georgia. I have seei
more intelligence displayed iu farming hy
the farmers of Terrell * than any wlien*,
since the war. Again, there is tnon*
cotton made to the mule in this county
than is made in any other county in
Southwest Georgia. I challenge any of
your farmers of Ihmgherty and Baker t*
comparison. Let the facts In* brought
forth, and the result will astonish you.
'n conclusion, allow me tt* congratu
late the farmers of Southwest Georgia
that the News has so getionmsly throwu

matters |N*rtaiiiing to our agricultural
interests. Mon* anon.

Bright Outlook lor Cotton,
The New York Journal of Com
merce of T uesday, gives the follow
lug exliHt't froi:i the latest letters of
one of the largest and most infiuciicial
linns in Liverpool,and which, il says,
reflects an opinion shared by iminv
in New Yoik who are more directly
ilitere'lcd iu the |»* i< e of t «. i«.h ihuu !
those against whom the remark are j
pointed. It is worth leading:
“Wluit light yon are making of it
in New York again*i our strong hull
tendencies here, vvhirli are the
of a stale, of trade iu Manchester you
tl«* not fully realize. Your opcnittir:
would have done far heller for Ihein
selves It* have helped us—htiiiton t
us, in lac;, to llie top of our hciiLand
then lei us down will, a rush, when
ihev would have filled theiuscivt
with the fragments. As it is, I »it|
pose as you say, they wanted to tlraw
us down to a lower figure iu order
lo get in, hut, have got eatight hy a
market rising ill spite of Ihein and
dare not now turn round, ami, as I
suppose, they could not close. 11 is
Maiichesler who is Inlying nearly all
the futures and doing splendidly, as
in eonseqtience of New York’s weak
market they arc able to get distant
deliveries cheaper than spots. The
hears need not think the cotton will
In* taken up-~it will he wauled to
q>iu. I look for good trade continu
ing, and, with the present enormous
consumption, expect decided scarcity
with 5,500.000 hales, which I really
think is the lowest it is safe to put the
crop at. Spinners are now making
from I > 4 <l. to 2*.jd. per pound clear
profit on all they spin. Why, there
fore, should cotton go down to 7d.,
»i* even stop at 7*^1.? Consumption
would not he increased a pound.—
Price has at present little to do with
the question, a fact which New York
won’t see, and I fancy may have to
pay for not doing so.”
Kellogg-Spollord Case.
Iu the Senate on Monday last the
majority and minority reports of the
oinmittee on this case were submit
ted.
The-minority report says nothing
has changed since Kellogg was de
bt red entitled to the seat in 1877 ex-
e|»t the parly majority iu the Sen
ile. To eject him by mere party su
periority would he a political crime,
> he classed with rebellion, the at
tempt to steal the government of
Maine, ami the overthrow of South
rn Stall? governments. It character
izes the evidence against Kellogg Ri
nat rust worthy. The majority report
finds that Kellogg used Iiia povvei
nid iiifiiience as Governor to tnanip-
ulate the returns and exclude elected
Democratic memtars of the Legisla
ture, thus seen ring majorities which
lee ed him Senator. The former in-
estimation of the ease was cond.tct-
d unfairly towards Spofford, no evi-
lenee at nil being taken. It also
:hargps bribery and corruption by
Kellogg’s witnesses in the present in
vestigation. Large extracts from
the evidence taken are iucliuled in
the report. The bill moved that tbe
resolution, reports and evidence be
printed. This being a debatable mo
tion, Hoar advocated it,s&yiug# when
printed, the evidence would be seen
to utterly refute tlie majority report.
# Mr. Ilill remarked that the other
side seemed anxious to precipitate a
debate before the Senate, lie was
ready to wait until the whole truth
was published.
After further debate Mr. Kellogg
took the floor and declared positive
ly that no reliable evidence could be
found to sustain the charges against
him. He said I lie Senator from Geor
gia (Mr. Ilill) had, before the inves
tigation began, declared publielvand
privately that he would drive Kellogg
from the Senale. The principal pari
of the prosecution had been taken by
Mr. Ilill, who bad prejudged the
•use; had pursued Kellogg with
avidity and tlie hate of the sleuth-
hound, and animated hy personal
malignity. He charged that Hill had
cut out several pages of testimony fa
vorable to him, and closed' with the
assertion that lie was willing to com
pare his moral or personal character
and courage witli that of Mr. IlilL
