Commercial Tourists.
—Mr. Geo. I. Seoey has again made Em
ory College an object of bis bounty, having
authorized Dr. Haygood to draw ou bim for
320,000 to ereot a building needed by the
college.
—Of the thirty names drawn as Grand
Jurors for the approaching April term of
Harris Superior Court, twenty four are
found on the subscription books of the
J u rnal. Ouly five of the Traverse Jury
subscribe for it, although most of the thirty
six read it ragular'y. This shows the char
acter of our circulation.
—The looii of the Columbus Eoquirer
seems to get in o bis happy mood when
writing of the Merchants Exchange of his
city.
—Some wit has said that Mr. Hayes came
into the Presidency by a majority of one
end went out by unanimous consent,
—New York furnishes the world with
forty thousand drummers, who distribute
nearly a quarter of a million of dollars dai
ly in the way of travelling expenses.
—lt is a real treat to see the beantiful
array of candy and, fanty gioceries dis
played by the JDromgoola Brothers of
Columbus, whose {unique way of advertis
ing has attracted the notice of our readers.
And it is a rel pleasure to buy of gentle
men who are so considerate and polite to
their pa'rons. When you go to the city
call on them end feast your eyes on the
many delicious articles they offer. Tueir
p ace of business is only one door above
Hunt B others.
—A gentleman iu town last week with
e drove of mules informed us that he was
going to Texas to raise mules. He says the
cost of raising mules for the market there
is almost nothing. Wny can they not be
ruised as cheap hfere as in Texa: ? Wbat bet
ter use cau our extensive pastures and Cane
brakes be put to tbu pasturing oolts.
--When asked what was his position on
the tariff question, Secretary Wiudom re
marked that while one ought to have well
defined views on the tariff, it was also true
that it is a question that changes somewhat
with the varying necessities of the gov
ernment, the condition of our manufactu
res, the balance of trade and commercial
intercourse with foreign Dations. He had
never been a free trader, and bad always
been for a proper and reasonable protective
tariff. ‘‘But,” said he, “the tariff is a bus
iness question purely, and it is an impor
tant element in the administration of the
duties of tbe treasury; so, as to a further
expression of my views, I must refer you
to my actions on the question aa it comes
np.”
The Usury L,aw.
Tbe Atlanta Constitution very properly
insists that this is the right season to dis
cuss tbe an just usury law of tbe state, as
it is at this season tnat its hardship is felt by
tbe class for whose protection it was made.
It' tbe forbidding of a bigb rate of interest
than sight per cent, carried with it the
power of gettiDg money at that rate, tbe
law might with some reason have some
advocate, But it does not, and those whc
are not willing to pay a high rate, or who
cannot give sufficient assurance that they
will do so, are debarred from borrowing.
Jinny farmers are in this condition, and
while it would he greatly to tbeir advant
age to borrow money at one and a half
or two per cent, per month, thy are for
ced to buy supplies from the merchants on
time.
It is an nr jnst law which allows tbe
merchant to place a bigb a per c-nt of
profit as he pleases upon bis merchandise,
while the hanker is limited. It is time
that our law makers should learn that sup
ply and demand, ought to and do reguiate
ti~e price of commodities.

Diversify Your Crop*.
Cotton is at present about the best mon
ey crop our planters ond raise, but it is a
suicidal policy to raise all cotton. The
crop of last year was the largest ever
known,notwithstanding the unprecedentedly
bad weather for picking, but thanks to tha
era of general prosperity it has been dis -
posed of at a fair price. This season the
planters are using more fertilizers, and the
winter having been bo bad as to prevent
many from putting in as large an aoreage
of gram as they desired, thus leaving more
land available for cotton, it is more than
probable that the ootton crop for this year
will be larger than that of last. Indeed the
outlook for this is every way better than
last season. Labor is more easily control
led, aa there is less political excitement, the
oold winter and heavy snows have put the
ground in better oondition for sustaining
plant life and even with the same area in
cotton as last year the outlook is for au in
creased crop. But the ootton belt is ex
tending so rapidly that without any of
these favorable signs, we might safely esti
mate upon an enlarged aggregate.
We all know that a large crop means a
low price. This being the case, the far
mer who puts everything in ootton is noth
ing more than a speculator—a g tnbler.
By making his supplies at home, be saves
in more ways than one. Every acre in
corn, peas, cats or other food orups, meant
a smaller area for ootton. It means less
westers produce and more southern bog
and hominy. Take the substantial farmers
of the community and they make their sup
plies at home and let the cotton crop rep
resent as nearly as possible the net profits
of the yea/a operations.
There are men with genius to oontrol
freedmeu, who succeed well with an all
cotton crop, but with less genius yon had
better not follow their example. Upon the
furnung class depends the prosuerity of
this cotnutry and our keen ai preciation of
this dependence prompts this note of warn
ing. In your farming o peration be as econ
omical as yon e-m, buy tm little on credit
ns possible, plant such a divirsily of crops
as to utilize every ray of sunshine or every
drop of water, and our generous soil and
climate will insure for you, in the fortunes
of a bountiful providence, a better financial
condition at the end of the year than at the
beginning, and upon your success and the
succes of the farmers individually of the
South depends its hopes for restoration to
its pristine glory as an agricultural commu
nity. It is time that we appreciated the
fact that the farming community can do
more to advance our material interests than
the politicians.
Literary Notices.
—The Southern Farmer’s Monthly grows
more interesting as it grows older. It is
worthy of a place on tbe reading table of
every farmer in the land.
—Godey, Peterson and the Domestic
Monthly, for April, have reached as. They
are all up to the usual high standard, and
either would prove a treasure to auy lady
in the land.
—Oar old favorite, tbe American Agricul
turist is as interesting in its April number
as ever before. Th_ South has muoh to
learn from tbe farmers of the North, and
the Agriculturist is an excellent exponent
of its best ideas. Oar readers will be nade
beiter farmers by a perusal of this sterling
publication.
—Golden Days ia the fitting title of an
excellent weekly publication for boys and
girls. While it is intensely interesting for
yonths, it is as pure and healthful in its
ooutents as the most fsstidions parent
could desire. We like it. A sample copy
oan be dad by sending your name to James

President Garfield.
The inaugural address in full will be
found on our inside pages this week. It
is an able and almost unobjectionable doc
ument. We are willing to heartily assist
President Garfield in many of the meas
ures proposed. In tbe education and ele
vation of tbe negro, in extinguishing po
iigsmy, in maintaining a pure ballot, be
will have the hearty co-operation of all our
people. If he will visit tbe south, and we
extend to him a cordial invitation, be will
disabuse his mind of some erroneous no
tions, which bis address shows him possess
ed of, and place himself in a condition to
do us simple jna'ice. This is all we aak of
him or could have expected of a democratic
administration.
