Editorial Correspondence Enquirer- Sun. 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 so much if the crops are so good. 1 ““ a chronic charge against the people ana l* is unjust to the average farmer. True there are chronic grumblers and would complain -at anything, but they are fewer in number . other cla8S > Population being ‘“to comparison. But if any el as, i iu ! l8 Ji n world have a right to com- o ^tiller of the soil who digs” ?j[° f ^ ,e r ? a r fc } f ° r t * 10 HUSteiMIK'l i,.i?i? 1 L - worlt ' »true that the whole .uaehiner.visa wheel m a wheel, but the ^reat driving wheel of the whole busbies h 0 t , ?, ng a llcuUl ' rUt ' , lu ' farmer complains tL sft.? 0 ' Bet , e,lou & h for the pro- ,.?n M f r ls a , rm ’ and that he has to pay f or hl » purchases,and he has gooti reason for so doing—a better reason than many arc aware. A great many 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. From Mi'iiii-iil .(Imoi/.iiirs. 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.” Where i* Hie Fnol Killerf 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. i GATt tin; A Mysterious Case of Cowhiding Causes a Sensation. | Two Young 31 cii Meet inul Mix on lVnchtrte Street—'The ffulterunterhil Convention—Judge •lolln T.

Two young men, tolerably well Known iu the city, met on Peachtree street, and without a word hostilities be 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. Capital Notes.

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.
