the franklin county register By ELLEN J. DORTCH- VOL. XI. NO- 11 - ON THE RISE. The Farmers on the Rise More Cor u and YVheat. The Squtliern Farmer raises cotton ships it*to the North and to England pays for having it manufactured into cloth and calico, buys it back in this shape and ptys freight on it both ways. He ships his seed to the various mills in the country and buys back the seed for fertilize . The oil he gels back by purchase under the name of leaf lavd. The ashes of the bulls he also buys hack for the potash it con¬ tains. If he did not lose by the trans¬ action, the men who handle his pro duct would not gain. The money he gets for his cotton and seed goes to pay debts contracted when goods were high. lie seldom gets the benefit of prices that follow cotton down, but buys on the high and sells on the low market. One hundred dollars in September as a rule, will purchase for the farm tliat which requires $130 in the spring; The fanner therefore repays not only the $130 which he, borrows, in the spring, generally at the rate of 12 or 15 per cent, but as a matter of fact pays the $80 for the use of the $100. As rega/ds guano, the situation is no better. The farmer, for the want of clear money in the fall and spring binds himself to pay $36 to $40 per ton for fertilizers- the Ingredients -of A’hich would cost him from $18 to $25. These facts illustrate some of the evils that afllict the farmer. Some of them are beyond any rejnedy he can supply, but the worst are within his control. Peter Henderson, the veteran gar¬ dener impresses upon farmers the necessity of keeping a little money on hand. The absence of it, he holds, will sometimes endanger a whole crop. Southern fanners have learned this as thoroughly as lias Peter Hen¬ derson. ‘ Ot course perplexing problems are involved in the remedy of these drawbacks, but the farmer must solve thorn Jo bucceed. jk . glance into any neighborhood will show that the men who have succeeded did so by overcoming these obstacles. If to the much advised Georgia farmers we might make one suggestion ip this matter, it would be to figure out in advance the sum absolutely' neces¬ sary to tide over betoveen seasons and to p-oceed to plant a special crop to secure it, say of peas, potatoes, or oats. $ecure the needed sum from a plat of ground not usually planted, by extra personal effort, even if it takes two or three years to do it. When you have it, replace it religi¬ ously every year from the proceeds of your sales aud never under any circumstances let any demand tempt you to use it except in place of the money you have been accustomed to borrow. The saving in interest, the in the saving in mental worry, the growth of inde¬ pendence of spirit and of chccrful ness will be vast dividends upon the exertion and self denial neci ssary to the success desired. And tne success itself will be money in your pocket iu other ways, fit is a great thing to have learned how t* save. The farming interests of Georgia are not in such prosperous condition tut way be desired, but we notice a marked improvement, There ara more little eimnnelaby which mo"ey flows into the average farm than tl «re was ten yeara ago. There is no doubt of this, And there I* mor* #“r« and more MtftfftUMd at kmm. There is a silent liquidation going otytie all the timej tlie county sites State on the first Tuesday are de¬ pressing neighborhoods. Aftejr awhile however, the level will be reached everywhere and a foundation for a prosperous agricul¬ ture be obtained. We are not afraid now, of ruin. The Georgia farm and farmer have lived through experien¬ ces' that while they grievously op pressed, yet demonstrated what this land and people can endure.

Among, Cuban women the eyes, the suple grace of the person an f | the dainty, delicate foot are the most striking points. Tteii faces are in¬ teresting rather than beautiful, being oval, with delicate, protruding chink. Their mouths ar generally large, but generally well formed, with a sugges tion of pathos m the slightly droop ing corners. Their complexion are pale and creamy, but fair lips are scarlet, mobile and tremulous. T he ieeth, perfect in fornt and dnzzingly white, in contrast with the lips. The hair is lead back in youth.

BRA VERY” REWARDED. Governor Gordon has commuted a portion of the sentence of Robert N. Groves, convicted of a misde¬ meanor at tlic September term of the Superior court of Habersham county and sentcuced to pay a fine of one thousand dollars, to be con¬ fined in the county jail for six months and to work on the chain gang for ttn months. Groves has a history. lie was at one time a highly honored citizen of Habersham c< unty, and held the pos¬ ition of ordinary of the countv. One night the safe where the records of the county were kept was forced open and the records destroyed. Groves was convicted of complicity in the act and was sentenced as stated. The Governor has been beseiged ‘with petitions from hundreds of re¬ spectable citizens of Habersham conn ty including members of the bar, bounty officials and the solicitor ers! who represented the State at the trial, all of whom united in asking Groves release. Alany have filed statements to tlio effect that the principal witness against Groves is totally unworthy of belief. The Governor in his order says that Groves has conducted himself with propriety since his conflnemenf. All those considerations doubtless bad Weight with the Governor, it was not on account of thes e that the order oi ,commutation was made. It is a reward for bravery. ■1 Not long since the prisoners in the .flubersham county jail attempted -to stampede, hoping to make tlieir- escape. Groves, at the peril of his own life, aided in preventing the escape ana received serious bodily injuries in doing so. It is on ibis account that the welcome older is made. Governor Gordon orders “that Groves be pardoned of the offense of which he is convicted and that he be discharged and set at liberty when he shall hava completed his term of six months imprisonment, and has paid the cine thousand dollar fine. The six month’s imprisonment was completed yesteiday. It now remains for Groves or his friend* to raise the money necessary to pay the fine., When that is done he wi.l be a free man—free because brave.—Constitution. WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD Dr. T. E.

Do you want to known what Bob Ingersoll thinks of the great man who lies in dead Brooklyn? Would you hko to known what the renowned infidel wrote with his own hands of Ilenry War! Beecher. It was in the fall of 1880. Air. Beecher had introduced the infidel ’ political Oiiitov to a great gathering in the Brooklyn academy of music, saying that the Colonel was the most brilliant living or.lDr in any tongue. A day or to later the Colonel was asked by a Herald reporter what he thought of Air. Beecher, lie at once sat down and wrote ns fast as his pencil could trot ever the paper thus: “I regard him as the greatest man in any pulpit of the world. lie treated me with a generosity nothing could exceed. He rose grandly above the prejudices supposed to belong to his class, and only as a man ooulil act without a chain upon his brain and only kindness in bis heart, “I told him that night that I con¬ gratulated the world that it had a minister with an intellect mil horizon b.ioad enough and a mental sky slud d°d with stare of genius enough to hold all creeds m scorn that shock the hoart of man. I think that Air. Beecher has liberalized the English speaking people of the world. Ido not think lie agrees with me. He holds to many things that I most pas¬ sionately deny. But in common we believe in the liberty of thought. “Aly principal objections to ortho¬ dox religion are two—slavery here and hell hereafter. I do not believe that, Air. Beecher on these two points can disagree with me. The real dif¬ ference bcfween us is, he says God, I say nature. The real agreement between us is, we both say liberty.” “What is Air. Beecher’s forte?” asked the reporter. “lie is of a wonderful poetic tem¬ perament. In pursueing any course of thought his mind is like a stream running tlnougk the scenery of fairy¬ land. The stream murniers and laughs, while tl e banks grow green and the vines blossom. His brain is controlled by his baart. lie thinks) in pictutf os. With him logic means mental melody. The discordant is absurd. “For years he has tried to hide the dungeon of oithodoxy with the ivy of imagination.
