COTTON NO LONGER KING.
What a Prosperous Farmer is Doing
With Hogs and Cattle.
Mr. W. P. .Towers, the erstwhile cot¬
ton king, of Webster, and one of the
largest and most successful planters in
Georgia, was in Americus yesterday,
and to!0 of his losses by the freeze last
week. Like every progressive farmer,
Mr. .Towers’ crops were all advanced,
and his loss by the freeze was consid¬
erable.
Besides oats and wheat Mr. .Towers
had several hundred acres of corn up
aud growing finely, every stalk of
which was killed to the roots. He has
already replanted about 500 acres iu
corn and hopes yet to secure a good
yield.
Mr. .Towers has turned his attention
largely to stock raising, and instead of
growing hogs cotton at a loss he will raise
and beeves at a profit. Last year
ho saved enough meat to supply his
plantation for twelve months. He
now has a drove of (100 hogs on his
farm in Webster, and will kill at least
250 fat porkers next winter.
Think of a Georgia farmer with 000
big and little hogs rooting in his Helds
aud meadow, 250 of which will be fat
enough to kill this winter. Can Texas
beat that? Does farming pay in Geor¬
gia?
Air. Jowers has full corn cribs as
well as a full smokehouse, but is feed¬
ing his hogs on peas just now, of
which he saved nearly 3,000 bushels
of last year’s crop. Besides hogs he
has any number of beautiful Jersey
cows as well as other fine cattle, and
already he finds that stock raising is
not than only easier but far more profitable
raising cotton and boarding free
negroes.
Where he once devoted hundreds of
acres to cotton culture, Mr. Jowers
uow lias green fields of wheat and oats,
besides the large acreage planted in
corn. He has by no means abandon¬
ed cotton, but that staple is no longer
king on his plantation and the hog and
hominy schedule has full sway.— Amer¬
icus Times- Recorder.

Southern Possibilities.
The people of the South do not seem
to realize the superior advantages and
attractions of their section. Looking
out from their standpoint they fail to
rightly contrast their advantages with
those, of other sections of the country,
and for this reason they fail to appre¬
ciate Southern possibilities.
A Northern or Western man who
knows the disadvantages of his own
section, and has realized what energy
and work is necessary to success there,
when he comes South and learns the
conditions here, is amazed at the
grand possibilities of this Southland.
He finds a climate unsurpassed, and
suitable for work every day in the
year; he finds a soil that can of be hastily
raised to the highest state fertility,
a soil that with judicious results cultivation
will produce better net than
that of any other part of this great
country, a soil from which can be pro¬
duced a great variety of products; he
finds advantages for manufacturing and
unequaled anywhere else, natural
conditions that garrautee the lowest
cost of production iu agriculture and
in manufacturing, and these coupled
with the cost of living. Knowing
what has been done in his own section
without such advantages, he is the bet
qualified to comprehend and to judge
of the possibilities of the South.
What the South may and can do
with the modern appliances at com¬
mand, under a wise-agricultural policy
is well demonstrated by what she has
done duriog the past thirty years.
And indeed had the Southern agricult¬
urist, in I860, entered upon the policy
now dictated by experience as well as
wisdom, and persued it to the present,
the cotton belt would to-day be one of
the wealthiest sections of the Union,
and the flowers of prosperity would be
in full bloom around the homes of the
Southland.
The pessimistic idea entertained by
many that the South is destined for all
time to be a vassal land to the North
and East, and that the Southern peo¬
ple are doomed to be “hewers of wood
and drawers of water” for plutocracy,
has no foundation in fact, if Southern¬
ers will rise up in their mightiness
and, shaking off their fancied evil
forebodings, appropriate the advanta¬
ges which nature has bestowed upon
this section.
Touching this matter, a Northern
man after a trip through the Carolinas
and Georgia, writing to the Southern
States Magazine, says: what I think
“I do not dare to state
of the futuie of North Carolina and
Geoagia within the Next fifty years—
yes, twenty-five years. No Georgian
or Carolinan would believe as much as
I see coming in the next generation.
With a climate that not only rivals,
but excels that of Italy, I say to Geor
gans and North Carolinans if you will
yourselves open to Northern eyes the
enormous advantages of your grand
states you will witness a spectacle
within the next thirtv years as marvel
ous as we saw in Atlanta, where a
magnificent like”, city has risen, phoenix
s from the ashes made by Sher
man s army. And the new states of
Georgia and North Carolina will come
into a new and grander life, which will
be as much a wonder to the next gen
eration as Atlanta is to Ms."-Monroe

Farmers make a smaller probably pccentagq thaii
on their investments
any other class. The merchant, bauk
er and manufacturer would go out of
business if his visible income from his
investment was no more than the far¬
mer’s, yet notwithstanding that this is
indisputably true, it is a fact, never¬
theless, there is a smaller percentage
of failures among the farmers than any
other class. More than this, there is a
larger percentage of farmers get rich
in this world's goods and_ provide
themselver and families a good living
than any other class. This being the
case, we certainly conclude that it
pays to work for a small income. Es¬
pecially is this true when in the case
of the farmer the income is steady cue

A Strange Accident.
A very strange thing occured out on
the plantation of Honorable Jesse W.
Walteis a few clays ago.
Everybody in Albany remembers the
bay mare known as the “Brooks mare,”
which was for a long time used as Mr.
Walters’ family horse. It was the
mare that was the victim ot the strange
accident. The first part of this year
she was sent out to the plantation and
put to| ploughing. A few days ago,
while the plough bauds were at work,
fire was discovered in another part of
the plantation, and the hands hurried¬
ly mounted their animals and started
for the scene of the fire.
The “Brooks mare” was going in a
fast lope across the field, when she
stumbled aud fell. When she recov¬
ered and rose to her feet again, her
rider was horrified by the discovery
that she had lost both fore feet. She
had actually thrown both frout feet
off, the members becoming unjoiuted
at the ankle, and when she stood up
the feet were dangling by the skin and
the ends of the now footless legs went
through the skin into the ground.
The poor animal was, of course,
killed and relieved of her misery.
The occurrence was a strange one,
to say the least of it, aud the horsemen
here all say they have never known a
similar one .—Albany Herald.
Something for Nothing.
“The darkest hour iu any young
man’s life,” says Horace Greely, “is
when he sits down to plan how to get
money without earning it.”
There are more ways than one of
making this fatal mistake of trying to
get something for nothing. The crim¬
inal way is the worst morally, but, not
the most common.
Almost as demoralizing to character,
though not positively criminal, are the
many ways of trying to increase one’s
wealth at the expense of others, by
gambling. Not long ago a New York
paper iu reporting an express robbery,
said that the money taken—fifty
thousand dollars—was the usual week¬
ly remittance to the Lottery Company
from its New York agent. If fifty
thousand dollars a week goes from one
city, how much from the whole coun¬
try?
Still a third way of getting something
for nothing is to hunt for a sinecure.
The new mayor of Brooklyn, elected
on a strong platform of municipal re¬
form, returning home from a short trip,
just bushels after his election, applicants found three
of letters from for
office—most of them, it is safe to say,
from lazy youug men who wanted an
“easy place.”
This incident has led to to the quo¬
tation of President Lincoln’s apt say¬
ing; “If ever this free people—this
government—is utterly demoralized, it
will come from this human struggle for
olHce—a way to live without work.”
Value for value is the only rule in
business, politics and morals.
Piles Can lie Cured.
The greatest pile remedy ever discovered is
ami Beggs’ German Salve. It relieves at once,
effects a permanent cure in au incredible
short space of time. Also excellent for Cuts,
Scalds, Burns and Bruises. Every box war¬
ranted by W. J. Cooper & Co., Lexington,

Living for Show.
What we want in our homes is a
much simpler style of housekeeping,
aud we shall have it when we learn the
great lesson—which is the only reme¬
dy for this matter—to live more for
comfort than ostentation; to live less
for show and more for substance.
There is where the evil lies. We live
too much for others; too much for the
world. We fix up our homes altogeth¬
er too much with the idea of either
what the outside world will say of
them or to outdo our neighbors.
When we reach that point where we
shall dismiss a little of that ostentation
that is now so prevalent in many of our
homes, we shall not only reach a hap¬
pier state for ourselves, but we will
remove one-half of the nervous ail¬
ments from which our women are now
suffering.
It is well enough to have a pretty
home, with rooms filled with dainty
bric-a-brac, mirrors, cushions and or¬
naments of every sort. But some one
must take care of these things, and
generally it is not the help we may
employ. So far as the ornamentation
of our homes is concerned, we are
overdoing.it in the majority of cases
anyway. A room tasteful in its rich
simplicity is the exception rather than
j the rule. The greater part of our
i drawing rooms resemble museums
| more than anything else, and a man is
never so comfortable as when he is out
; of them. Between kicking something
