SEALE, Ala., July 2(i,—Here is another
letter from Russell county, but ere it is put
in type your correspondent will doubtless
be down among the people of Pike. For
tunate are the people in that section if the
crops are as good there as they are here in
Russell. We came to this county under
the impression that the crops were almost
an entire failure. The reports received
from various sections of the county were of
the most disheartening character, and the
general impression prevailed that the
present was to be a dark year for farmers.
Indeed, three weeks ago there was but
little promise, and the farmers were as
blue as indigo. In many instances it was
a serious question whether or not the
fields should be abandoned, and- in a few
cases this was done. The late pleasant and
good farming weather has brought about
A WONDERFUL CHANGE,
and while nearly everybody has fine corn
there is much hope for at least
.an average cotton crop, " while
potatoes, sugar cane and such
as are called side-crops are excellent. The
crops that we have heretofore particular
ized have been those of the members of
the Longview' farmers’ club. We have
ihad a double Ipurpose in this. One
reason was a desire to show that co-opera
tion and interchange of ideas go along way
■toward securing the highest developments
of agricultural interests. Another reason
mav be given that it affords the cheapest
and best way to reach that result, and we
thus hoped,to produce an incentive to other
communities to establish similar farmers’
clubs throughout the country. If it would
cause the farmers of every community to
keep their premises and immediate sur
roundings in as good condition as the farm
houses we recently visited, then indeed if
only one club is established, our compen
sation will have been complete. There art-
many
GOOD REASONS FOR FORMING CLUBS
besides that of obtaining an increased
.yield and of having things like they should
be at home. If the farmer spends more
than he makes, it matters not how large
may be the yield, he is in a bad row for
stumps at the end of the year. The idea is
then to buy as little as possible and get it
at the least practical price. In attending
the business session of this club the other
day we heard a report made by the pur
chasing committee, who had been acting
under instructions and investigating
whether or not it would be of any advan
tage to the club as a whole. The chair
man of this committee is one of the most
practical business men in Russell county.
He stated that he found Columbus the best
of several markets tried. He had ascer
tained that by making purchases as a
whole he could obtain groceries 5 per.
cent on the cost price of them, thus saving
from 15 to 20 per cent on nearly all the
purchases that would be made, and as
much as 50 per cent on some of the lighter
groceries. On bacon or meat very little
could be saved as the prices are now so
close that little or no margin is allowed.
On hardware and upon drugs he could
make such arrangements as to get a dis
count that would within itself be a profit
able per cent, while dry goods were offered
to him at 10 per cent above actual New
York cost. As it is estimated that 45 per
cent of the population of Georgia and
Alabama are getting their living by agri
cultural pursuits it can be easily calculated
what an enormous saving, even it was only
10 per cent, could be made in the aggre
gate. But there are
OTHER GOOD CROPS
iu this community beside those of the
members of this club. One of these is that
of Judge S. O’Neal, the probate judge of
the county. We walked through his crop
yesterday, and Sunday as it was, we hardly
felt as though we were violating the divine
law when looking upon such line cotton.
He has a few acres of Hirlong variety
which is as fine, if not the best, of any
thing we have seen in the county. He has
other large fields which will compare very
favorably with the crops now growing out
in Longview. It is sufficiently fine to in
duce the judge to visit it every day and
twice on Sunday for good measure.
Hirsch Brothers,of this place, have some
of the finest corn that we have seen. This
is a small field near the village, but they
have a large plantation six or eight miles
out and we are told that they have the best
corn on it that has been produced there
for years. Their cotton, of which they
have more than 100 acres in cultivation, is
said to be far above an average.
All the crops in the immediate vicinity,
and the patches around the city, are much
better than we expected to find them, and
especially the side crops, of which there is
a great variety. The clerk of the court,
Mr. P. A. Green, has a watermelon patch
and the melons lie so thick upon the
ground that it is almost impossible to find
a place to step. The melons are small, but
make up for this deficiency in number.
Speaking of melons, we saw
A COMPLETE CURIOSITY
while out at the residence of Col. J. M.
Brannon the other day. It was a canta
loupe that measured twenty-eight inches
long and fourteen and one-naif inches in
circumference. We might not tell this,
but Mrs. Brannon is competing for a prize,
and we saw the melon measured, and Mrs.
Brannon now has a certificate from a
Methodist minister and a newspaper editor
that it was correctly done. If any one
questions this, we can show up. Mrs.
Brannon has charge of her own garden,
and the colonel is not allowed to go m it
only by permission. She has the finest
vegetables we have ever seen, and it is as
tonishing to what great dimensions she
has grown tomatoes, onions, squashes and
many others. We say astonishing, hut
perhaps this may in a measure be accounted
for when it is known that she
USES HOME MIXTURE GUANO
like the other successful farmers m this
community, and Home Mixture, like every
other good thing that is manufactured in
Columbus, is quite the proper thing to
have around. Nearly all the farmers here
use fertilizers to a greater or less extent,
and it is gratifying to know that no other
brand is more popular than that manufact
ured in the Queen City of the Chattahoo
chee. It may be just a way we have, hut
it appears to us that when our solid ami
substantial citizens take hold of anything
and engage iu its manufacture, that they
do it better than anywhere else in the
country. It is not only so with our ferti li
zers which have the highest commercial
value of any made in this state, but it is so
With our textile manufactures, clothing,
trunks, iron works, and other articles with
which we defy the world in com petition.
But we were talking about crops, and the
question may be asked w'hy is it that
THE PEOPLE COMPLAIN

DON’T know why IT IS
that while everything is so abundant it,
this country that markets for these pro-
ducts cannot be found abroad. They arc
tom that it is over-production, and this
seems to be a satisfactory reason. They
will never know, perhaps, until the gov
ernment employs a statistician who will
analyze our commercial and financial stu-
tistics and put them in such shape that
the people cun understand them. It was
not an accident that the figures of the
tenth census is a mass of unintelligible
figures which hides valuable truths, but it
was a scheme Of the republican protec
tionists to keep the masses iu ignorance
and subjection. Our great
AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS,
embracing three-fourths or more of all
our material greatness, is given about 250
pages of meaningless figures in the census
report, with not a single line of deduction
for tlie reader. The most valuable facts
are hidden so that no one can find out from
them what relation agriculture bears to
the government, what inducement there is
to develop the agricultural resources, of
the country, or what proportionate bur
dens for the support of the government
nr ® in \P 0Sed upon the agricultural inter
ests. The figures are so placed as to mis
lead or confound the public and impress
them with the belief that one thing is true,
when exactly the opposite is true.
here is a specimen of it,
and will serve to illustrate the point that
we have mentioned. A writer in one of
the leading journals of the country
recently took occasion to dig
out of the annual report of the bureau of
statistics, the amount of manufactures ex
ported and the amount imported, and tlie
customs collected thereon. They are as
follows:
Exported. Imported. Tnriir.
Sugar and Mo
lasses $16,000,000 $76,000,000 $54,000,000
Woolens 790,000 ll,000,000 27,160,000
To “encourage” $16,792,000 of exports the
American consumer is taxed $81,160,000,
and the very statistics to which we refer
show that we lose $157,000,000 exports uu-
nually. And yet tiie only way to promote
manufactures in this country is to build up
a Chinese wall which will enable a few
American manufaeturees to compel Ameri •
can consumer s to pay two or three prices
for what they buy. This is ail bosh.
These same figures show that since 1881
there has been an annual decline in our
agricultural products exported of $157,000,-
000, or $785,000,000 for five years. These
figures show
Increase of exports $ 26,000,000
Loss of exports 7S5,000,000
Total loss in five years $760,000,000
The statistician may keep these facts
concealed by keeping the figures sepa
rated, Out he cannot conceal tlie fact from
the agriculturists of the country that
there is no adequate market for their pro
ducts, nor from men of bruins, that the
commercial prosperity of this country de
pends upon the demand abroad for our
surplus agricultural products, which con
stitute more than two-thirds of all we have
to sell.
IT GIVES AMERICANS GINGER,
and Tom Grimes ought to studylup on this
important subject before he goes to Wash
ington. One of the most reputable news
papers published in Philadelphia says that
in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, you will be
charged $2 for a fine pocket knife. You
can go over to Sheffield, England, and buy
the mate to it, made in Beaver
Falls and shipped to Sheffield for
sale, for 87j cents or less than half what
they charge you at the shops where it is
made. A sewing machine is made in Cin
cinnati and is sold for $60 to the farmers’
wives and daughters all through this sec
tion. The same kind of a machine made
by the same firm, may be purchased in
Berlin, Germany, for $26. These are the
beauties of protection. It make the manu
facturer in some ol the northern cities
liberal abroad but as ravenous as death at
home.
A TRUCE TO POLITICS,
and I had no thought of introducing it
here when I began this letter. Let not the
reader think I will do so again, for I won’t.
I only started out to tell about the crops
and the people around in this community,
j a theme far more entertaining than all the
I tariffs that can be raked together. My
apology is that none are so deeply inter
ested In these matters as the farmers, as
they pay the taxes after all. G.

The Medical Record says that no drug
with so short a history has got hold of so
many victims as cocaine. “We fear that
tlie cocaine habit has a great and gloomy
future before it.”
“It is a great pity,” says a Vienna medi
cal journal, “that people have taken it into
their heads that it is undignified for a
physician to practice massage. Men like
Meseugeil in Bonn, Busch in Berlin, Berg-
mann In Stockholm, Johnson in Copen
hagen, &c., have not been above practic
ing massage. The medical authorities
should see their way to bring this new
form of quackery within narrower bonds.”
The Medical News says that a German
practitioner, being called to see a child five
weeks old who was constantly crying and
suffering from colic, was puzzled as to di
agnosis until, looking at the nurse’s face,
and seeing it of a brilliant white and red
tint, he touched the surface, which left a
greasy stain on his fingers of a cosmetic
rich in lead. This poisonous substance
the nurse had long been iu the habit of
using for the purpose of improving her
complexion.
(■'old Coin With n Stimuli.
N. Y. Herald.
This notice was posted at the sub-
treasury, in Wall street, yesterday :
“On and alter August 1,1886, all gold com
I below the legal weight will, under instruc
tions received from the secretary ot tlie
i treasury, lie stamped ‘Light,’ as the same
1 is presented at thu sub-treasury. ’
“The limit of tolerance m a gold com,’
explained Cashier Shcrer to a Herald re-
porter, “is one-half of one per cent—that
I is, a gold coin may be worn or abraded from
| use to that extent, and it is still receivable
at its face value. It has of course been the
custom at the sub-treasury to reject gold
coins that were light—that is, when they
did not come within the limit of tolerance,
but we (ill not stamp such coins, t hey
come back again ard again in the efforts of
their owners to get rid of them. .del*
the new order, when we deface a coin by
stamping it as light weight tlie owner can
not a second time attempt to pass it, hut
must scud it to be melted down for its in
trinsic value. This will save us a good
deal of trouble anti bo a protection to the
public.”

A Cincinnati dispatch reports that a re
markable religious delusion has broken out
in a little circle in that city. A party of
thirty or forty people, most of them prom
inent and above the average in intelli
gence, believe that Mrs. John B. Martin,
of Walnut Hills, is Christ manifest in the
flesh, and that her sister, Mrs. John F.
Brook, is the holy ghost. The followers
of these two women meet at Mrs. Brook s
house and worship them both. Mrs. Mar
tin has exerted some strange and wonder
ful influence that has put them completely
in her power, and they are fanatics on the
subject.

gan. They were M. Clinton Galluehat.
who came to Atlanta four years ago, and
C. Milliken, who is book-keeper for the
Elevator Company. Galluehat was armed
with a buggy whip and struck Milliken sev
eral blows over the head. Milliken grabbed
the whip, and in the struggle it was broken
up. Galluehat drew n pistol and Milliken
seized a brick. Before further damage
could be done both were arrested and car
ried to the guard house. Galluehat was
dismissed from the elevator company’s
employ a short time since, and Milliken
said the assault was because Galluehat
supposed he had been instrumental in pro
curing his discharge. Galluehat says Mil
liken knows better than this,
and the assault had nothing to
do with his leaving the company,
but was because of infamous slanders upon
him by Milliken, which he was obligee! to
resent. Both were held for disturbing the
peace and Galluehat had warrants for as
sault and battery and carrying concealed
weapons sworn out against him. There
will oe a hearing to-morrow.

Survival of tin* Fittest.
For some time past, the question of pur
ity in baking powders has formed quite a
feature of newspaper discussions, and emi
nent doctors of philosophy have given
opinions as to the ingredients which com
pose many of the articles sold under that
name. The investigations have narrowed
down to the limit which awards the Royal
Baking Powder the palm of purity, and
several of the’m'ost distinguished scientists
have testified to their conviction that no
extraneous or deleterious matter enters
into its composition. The Royal Baking
Powder Company have achieved a world
wide reputation for the success which
lias marked their preparation of cream
of tartar lor baking purposes. It is indis
putably shown that they have eliminated
all elements of tartar of lime* alum or oth
er impurities, and present to the pnblic a
healthful and chemically pure article.
Such widely known chemists as Henry
Morton, E. G. Love, H. A. Mott. Wm. Mc-
Murtrie and others have verified its su
periority over other manufactures, and
testified, through practical experience, to
its excellence. It is well for families to
observe the fact that it costs more to man
ufacture the Royal Baking Powder than
any other, but it is, as shown by chemical
analysis, the one “absolutely pure” bak
ing powder made.
The Verdiet Unanimous.
W. D. Suit, druggist, Bippus, Ind., testi
fies: “lean recommend Electric Bitters as
I the very best remedy. Every bottle sold

tism of 10 years’ standing.” Abraham
■ Hare, druggist, Bellville, Ohio, affirms:
| “The best selling medicine I nave ever
! handled in my 20 years’ experience, is
; Electric Bitters.” Thousands of others
have added their testimony, so that the
verdict is unanimous that Electric Bitters
do cure, all diseases of the liver, kidneys or
blood. Only a half dollar a bottle at Bran

say: Liverpool sent over a disappointingly weak
dispatch, silver quotat ion was lower and crop ac

fluences that discouraged bulls and led to a break
of some 10 poidts. with the feeling still tame at
the decline. L r cotton was unloaded with
