Why Xotr
A gentleman who is well informed upon
every branch of agiioullnre, who has made
its study a success --if money be a measure
of success—receutly called our attention to
the great loss the community is sustaining
in the purohase of western mules. His ex
perience is that a mule oan be raised at a
cost of from ten to twenty dollars in
cluding the cost of tbe jaek. In other
words it oosts almost DO'bing.
In tbe city of Coiambus there Lave been
sold to farmers, no less than one thousand
mules, the present season. One warehouse
firm alone in that city has endorsed for two
hundred and fifty of these, bought by their
patrons on time. It would be a low esti
mate then to say that within the cotton belt
tributary to Columbus, two thousand mules
have been purchased this winter, draining
tbe country of no less than $250,i000. Hew
if these mules had been raised at home, at
a cost of $lO each, we would have $230,000
of that sum left in tbe State.
A*-k any farmer what it cost to make a
pound of cotton last season; bis answer will
be “Not less than eight oenta.” If it cost
this and the prioe averaged 10 oenta, the
prefit on each 450 pen and bale was $9,00 or
$900,000 on all the ootton sold at Colum
bus. Thus we see that about 27 par cent
of the oar cotton crop goes to pay for stock
to make another crop. Aod that if w
raised our own mules we oculd be just as
well off and dispense with the raising of
27,000 bales of cotton. Or that wt must
raise thirteen and a half bales of cotton to
buy one mute, when with the profits on one
bale we might taise him

Mr. G.rtield whs perlectly right in de

e.a democrat® paper* have been very silty
in their methods of urgmg snob an ap
yointment. The negro has made rapid
strides iu ln'elmc oral advancement during
tne past decade, but none is worthy of a
cabinet place. The republican party bas
lost its power at the south by promoting
unworthy objects, through motiviS of poli

HAMILTON, GA„ FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 1881.
The Democracy in Congress.
Speaking of the record of tbe democrat
ic party in since its last aocession to power,
tbe New York Sun aays;
On the whole tbe party has made a good
record in cougress since the tidal wave of
1871—that great re-action provoked by tbe
con options of Grantisn—whioh swept tbe
bonrbou republicans and lifted the fair
promis’ng demoorafios to dry land.
At the last presidential election tbe can
didates of this party reoe|ved a majority of
the popular votes, as t£ey did fonr years
ago. 'these votes were not bought, nor
were they result of persuasion and intimi
dation. They represent, the honest con
victions of the men who oast them, and it
is clear that the parly whioh is thus mis*
tamed after twenty years’ exclusion from
tbe spoils of exeoutix* power has no reason
to despair.
But the democratic party oan expect sna
cess only apon one condition; it must never
again yield an inch of Its own ground to
tbe enemy. It must stand by the princi
ples upon wtissh Jefferson founded the
paity, and Madison, Jaekson, and all his
worthy successors built.
Jubilee Organs.
There are makers who seek to earn and
fix a reputation for first cihrs work whi b
shall be for all times. Among these may
be noted tbe Mendelssohn Piano Company,
minnfacurers of the popular Jubilee Oi>
gaus wnicb are rapidly becoming known,
aud which do not fail to hold svery inch
of ground they oao occupy.
8o thorough is the inspection of the va
rious parts, aud of the whole, that when au
! instrument goes out of the house a guaraoee
for five years—long enough to break do wo
and wear out two common organs—is giv
en the purchaser The Jubilee Organ is
eminently an organ for the people.—Lou
isvi lc, Ky., Commercial.
i Having had ucoxsiou to purchase organs of
! this Company for our own personal friends,
and haying foaad them to be all that was
choicer! for them after years of thorough
trial, and li-ving repeatedly visited then
factory in New York city, wo are prepared
to assert, from our dwu knowledge of the
rn’ornfacturers and their organs, that their
work is wot evetleHT'by any manufacturer
,uow in the market.
Iu abort, ibe Mendelssohn Piano Compa
ny’s instruments are eminently the peoples
j oigaus, and are worthy of ibe enviable rep
j u!ii>ion tbey so certainly enjoy. Wo cor
! dially recommend them to the o n fidrtiae
! and patronage of the public; wo advise
| them to oommnnioate with the Company,
at its headquarters at New York, and look
over heir oncuar and price list. —Th o In
