I Vi i/ten fur The Echo ] “NIGHT IN GEORGIA.” Night in Georgia, starry night, Thy beauty thrills my inmost soul. Fair Luna through the heaven glides, j And downy clouds *o softly roll. j The wind sighs gently through the pines, It w-ikes the mocking bird*to song ; He whistles soft and lowly sweet, i And then his shrill cry echoes long. i He sings of love, he sings of spring; He scatters night from round his nest, And gathers pine straw from the limbs, With dreams of time, to build his nest. The breeze comes lightly, blowing soft Sweet flowers as love’s try»t they keep ; ’Tis laden heavily with dews To bailie the blossoms in their sleep. A far, way oil, the echoes ring Of huntsman roaming with his hounds. They howl and bark—the chase begins, And fills the night with pleasant sounds. A lone owl hoots and calls its mate, Then shiv’ririg screams aud hides his head, As if the day' were breaking soon, When he must seek his woodland lied. t he stars shine calm ami clear above, While all is rest and beauty lair. The long moss waves upon the trees And tangles in the pine-filled air. Athwart tlie east the glow begins, Creeps up and mingles with the night. The mist of beauty fades away, Gives place to day and morning it tight. rs. j. c. s. Lexington, Ga, THE GREAT PROBLEM. HOW TO SOLVE THE KNOTTY AGRICULTURAL QUESTION. An Able Discussion by Hon. Jas. M. Smith about the Condition of the Farmers of this Section. In the following interview, reported by T. L. Gantt for the Atlanta Consti tution, lion. Jas. M. Smith, Ogle thorpe’s big farmer, aud the brainiest man in Georgia, draws some good con clusions and gives his fellow-farmers some advice that is well worth heed ing; “Yes; I never knew the farmers in a worse condition than they are this year, aud 1 really don’t know what is to become of the country. A large majority of our farmers are bankrupt today if their creditors press them, and I can see nothing for them in the fu ture. They are disheaitened and dis satisfied, and nearly every man you meet wants to sell out aud move to some town or city, ostensibly to edu cate his of children, but in condition. reality with This a hope bettering his not ouly applies to whites, but to the better and more enterprising blacks as well. And you cannot blame them ei ther. When a man works hard all the year, in sunshine and rain, and at Christmas finds himself still deeper in debt, it is indeed discouraging. The white farmer goes to town and to him iL appears that every one he sees is rich and prosperous, and that they live with comparativele little work. The negro cropper he carries with him is told that hands are paid from 7o cents to $1 per day on the streets, and he compares this with the losses he has experienced on the farm, and it appears a fabulous sum. The natural result is that both the white man aud negro return home dissatisfied with their lot, aud determined, at the very first oppor tunity, to desert the country and move to town themselves. They only see the bright side of city life, and know nothing whatever of its gloom and dis appointments. Oglethorpe,” “Take my own county of continued Colonel Smith, “and we are as well off as any other section of Geor gia. The richest aud fairest section of our country has been turned over to negroes aud bermuda grass, and many farms therein don’t rent for enough to pay taxes, aud it looks very much as if the fate of that Goose 1’ond district will also be the fate of the present more prosperous portion of our eouuty. The country is turned over to irresponsible tenants and negroes, and butchered to destruction. And it's getting worse and worse each year. “What is the remedy? you ask. That I cannot tell. In the first place, we must revolutionize our system of agri culture so as to make farming profita ble, and thus retain the brain, industry and capital at home. This can never be done with cotton as our money crop, aud it selling at less than the cost of production. .Tu“t after the I told thelate Air. war, John White, of Athens, that 1 expect ed to see 100,000,000 people in the United States, cotton sold at 5 cents a pound—and a 10,000,000 bale crop made —and it begins lo look as if my predic tion will be realized. Europe is empty ing upon us its surplus population, and the great cotton belt of the Mississippi valley and Texas is fast being settled up. On our Georgia lands we can nev er compete with this fresh and fertile country. They start out with a saving of 82 per acre by not using guano, and then can make a bale with half the la bor required in Georgia. We lose our nrofits in turning out the end of short rows, while on tile western prairies and flats VOU can have your furrows miles long if desired. J do not look for any ; material advance next fall in the price Of cotton, and It would not surprise me to see It go to O cents. We are produc ing more cotton than the .world con I | sumes iu its present impoverished con ( J j i j o n “There is only one hope forOUrGeOr gia fanners that I can see—to diversify their crons; it become self-sustaining, ; W, have Mil art d.o.ate that will i grow any cereal , needed to support man | or beast, and we must turn our atten I tion to something else than cotton, | Unless we do, 1 see no of hope whites for will the : country. The best class collect in the towns and cities, and ; leave the farm to thriftless negroes. I And I wiil tell you, the blacks are mui I tiplymg very fast iu the country, and if we don't look out they will eventu ally control it. They have a decided majority in Oglethorpe, and are gain ing on the whites very fast over in Madison, where there was comparative ly few slaves at the surrender. •‘There is another thing our Georgia farmers must learn. They must be taught ‘the self-responsibility, aud quit blaming other fellow’ for all of their trials and mismanagement That ‘other fellow’ is a terrible creature,and the scape-goat for all of our miscar riages and failures. If our crops get in the grass, ‘the other fellow’ is the cause; if a drought comes and cotton suffers for the want of deep prepara tiou of the land, that ‘other fellow’ swindled us in guano; if we don’t get a good price for our produce, ‘the oth er fellow’ has gotten up a corner on ns, or has all the money locked up and won’t let us get at it; if our stove ac counts are larger than we expected. the.‘other fellow’ has swindled us in prices. And thus it goes in all our af fairs. We never attach the slightest blame to ourselves, for of course, it is impossible for us to err—but the other fellow is solely responsible. Now, if .we could only catch ‘the other fellow,’ and put him where he would be incap able of doing us harm, it would be all right, llut he is a regular will-o’-the wisp that we can never get in reacli of. ‘•Well, the best thing that our farm ers can do is to quit bothering about that ‘other fellow,’ and see if they are not somewhat to blame themselves. ‘The other fellow’ is going to look out for himself every time, aud get the best of we farmers when he can. So we, in turn, must look out for the ‘other fel low,’ and keep him from circumvent ing us. the Growling won’t help matters. We are architects of our own for tune, and must bear our own responsi bilities. “The Alliance organization is a great movement for the relief of the farmers, for it tends to bring about that orgaan ization and unity so essential to the protection of its members. We must use our power, however, wisely and conservatively, and 1 think it best to battle for redress in the Democratic party. Our organization is non-parti san, and when we allign ourselves with any political organization vve will have both the old parties to fight. It takes time to build up a new party, and from the deplorable condition of our agricul tural element, they have no time to lose. ‘While the grass grows the steed starves.' What we most need is an in crease in our currency, and I want to see a circulation $100 per capita. It will take this much to transact the bus iness of our great country and develop its resources. Our property will fur nish ample collateral for this sum. Of course we want tariff reform, but must not permit this demand to overshadow the financial question, and neither must we permit financial relief to make us neglect tariff reform. “The farmers of Georgia, I do not believe, are ready for any third parly, for they would he the greatest sufferers from such agitation. It is sure to bring the negroes back into politics, and de- i moralize our only source of labor. I cannot imagine a greater calamity that could befall the planters of our state or of the South, than for the whites to di vide and leave to the negro the arbitra tion of our political affairs. Just pre cipitate a third party in Georgia next spring, and there will be no necessity of the farmers combining to reduce the cotton crop,for the politicians will save them the trouble, and they will also cut down the grain and every other crop. We southern Alliancemen are peculiar ly situated, and the only way that we can control our labor is to keep the ne gro out of polilics as much as possible. Experience has taught us that he will not vote and work the same year. “I do not see what the Alliance of Georgia can possibly hope to accom plish by going into a new party. They have already elected six out of ten con gressmen, aud control the legislature and State government, and at the next contest will do even better, I believe, if they remain united and present an unbroken front. There is not the faint est hope for a third party carrying enough states to elect a president, and even if they did, the house is over whelmingly democratic and the senate is republican. will With an unbroken line of successes, it take the new party years to capture the machinery of the government, aud all the time the farm ers are suffering. It seems to me that the best policy for the Alliance to pursue is to work for the balance of power—commit themselves, and as an or ganization, to neither parly, throw their votes where they will do the most good. You catiuot expect many Kan sas Alliancemen to vole the democratic ticket, and neither will Georgia Alli ancemen vote the republican ticket. Hut if the farmers from both states can elect to Congress men pledged to claim the reforms they ask, they can then their rights independent of any new party. “Who said Hood’s Sarsaparilla?” Thou sands of people, who know it to be t lie be t blood purifier and tonic medicine. —.—.— -,•* Colic, Diarrhoea and Dysentery are dan gerous.

"LINE UPON LINE.” An Able Endorsement of Our Article on Hay from the Sparta Ishmealite. The Sparta Ishmaciite reproduced last week au article on hay which ap peared in our editorial columns two weeks ago, and editorially gave it the following . able ,, endorsement: , The Ishmaciite publishes on its first page a timely and interesting article from the Oglethorpe Echo on hay, as a money crop. It is a good piece of reading for Ilaucock farmers. Just a moment ago, a load of Western hay passed up Main street in front of the Ishmaciite office. The sight suggests a number of facts that are not credita pie to our farmers. It involves one of the many reasons for the scarcity of money in Hancock county, Grass of the sorts to make the finest of hay grows spontaneously here. It is easily cut, cured and baled. Much greater values ot it to the acre cau be produced than of cotton, with not oue twentieth of the trouble and expense. And yet the Western farmer, a thou sand miles away, is permitted to come in and occupy the Ideal market here, and sell his inferior hay at high prices to parties who are compelled to buy. Our farmers not only do not reap the profits that lie in supplying the local demand for hay, but some of them ac tually buy this Western hay to feed their stock while engaged in killing, in their cotton tields, the grass that would make a better article of hay at no ex pense whatever. It is hard to believe that such a state of affairs could exist among rational farmers, but it is the literal truth. And that is a specimen of the shiftless and improvident meth ods which prevail among the farmers all through Georgia. Is there any wonder that money is scarce? Is it strange that there should be financial stringency when nine far mers out of every ten seem to be unal terably opposed to marketing front their farms anything but cottou—a crop which they themselves declare to he unremuneratiVe? the So long as the farms of eouuty furnish none of the va rious provision supplies that are mar keted here, the wonder will be that any money at all should remain, Relief will never come, it cannot come, it ought not to come, so long as such shiftless methods prevail. The financial system of the govern ment is wrong, and it ought to be cor rected; but if the money in circulation in the 1 Toiled States were four thousand millions of dollars money would still be scarce in Hancock county. The cotton crop of last year would have been no better than it was, and all the proceeds of it could have been required to pay for the incalculable privilege of making farming in the West remunerative.
