zine, The Amebican Faembb, published at

000 farmers, by which that great publication wil
be mailed direct, FREE, to the address of
any of our subbscribers who will come in and
pay up all arrearages on subscription and
one year in advance from date, and to any new
subscriber who wili pay one year in advance.—
This is a grand opportunity to obtain a first-
class farm journal FREE. The Amebican
Fabmeb is a large 16-page journal, of national
circulatian, whioh ranks among the leading ag
ricultural papers. It treats the question of econ
omy in agriculture and the rights and privileges
of that vast body of citizens—American Farm
ers—whose industry is the basis of all material
and national prosperity. Its highest purpose is
the elevation and ennobling of Agriculture
through the higher and broader education of
men and women engaged in its pursuits. The
regular subscription price of The Amebican
Fabmeb is $1.00 per year. IT COSTS YOU
NOTHING. From any one number ideas can
be obtained that will be worth thrice the sub
scription price to you or members of your house
hold, yet you get it FREE. Call and see sam
ple copy.
“AN APPEAL. TO PHARAOH.”
The latest contribution to the negro
question, says the Augusta hews, is in
the shape of an anonymous, but very
strong, publication entitled “An Appeal
to Pharaoh,” and it is creating a great
sensation. It treats the question plainly
and without circumlocution. It declares
that the negro must go, for his own and
the good of our people, and proposes an
ingenious plan for moving the negro back
to Africa.
It had done service during the late war,
and some soldier had loaded it in 1 gg
ness to fire. The charge must have bee
in the rifle at least twenty-six years.

The Georgia legislature met on the firs^.
Wednesday in July. This is the 5th of Oc
tober, and it may be remarked, inciden-

eign immigration until the 1 negro is re

bacco for one year will pay the expense
of transportation of all the negroes who
need to be sent away. He does not fa
vor the immediate wholesale transfer,
but a yearly shipment of the maternal
element of the race, between twenty and
thirty years of age, with their husbands,
childen and helpless or aged parents,
He also proposes to arrange for their
care after arrival in Africa, and shows
that this gradual emigration will be best
for this country, and especially for the
negro race. The latter is shown by the
fact that the negro is the inferior race,
and will remain so, for he will never be
allowed to rise any higher by the whites,
and assimilation he declares impossible
as well as repugnant. Further progress
is therefore impossible for the negro in
this country, and the sentiment of the
whites on the subject is even stronger
now than in the time of slavery.
The whole subject is canvassed and
discussed in the plainest way, and even
the colored people or mulattoes are tak
en into consideration. Tbe author of
this interesting pamphlet says that they
constitute a third element unassimilable
with the white race or the negro, and he
proposes that they also he transported
to a separate place. But as for the ne

raoh” declares that he must go hack to

Congo.
BIDDY MAHONE.
Little Billy Mahone, Harrison’s can
didate for governor in Virginia, is in
had row for stumps. A meeting of anti-
Mahone republicans was held in Rich
mond last week, the proceedings of
which were anything hut encouraging
and complimentary to Mahone. It was
composed of many of the brainiest and
most influential repubicans in the State,
and they were outspoken and bitter in
their opposition to the republican leader
in the approaching gubernatorial race.
From the action of the aforesaid meeting
it is evident, unless Mahone can succeed
in mullifying its influence and in arous
ing enthusiasm in the republican ranks,
there will he an immense falling off in
the republican vote. So mote it he.
that he will be able to manipulate elec
tions in southern states by the deputy
marshals and election supervisors under
him.
The Baltimore Sun’s Washington cor
respondent quotes a republican senator,
who has been a frequent visitor to the
White House during the present admin
istration, as saying: “Mr. Harrison is
getting himself cordially disliked be
cause he professes to know it all and
does not think any one capable of offering
suggestions. He would have had no
trouble with Tanner if he had listened
to the advice offered him by true party
friends.”
A Chicago telegram says that there
has been fifty million dollars of English
money invested in breweries and flour
ing mills, mostly in the western states.
These investments have been made in
the last two years by two English syndi
cates, the present Lord Mayor Isaacs, of
London, being at the head of one of
them. None of the investments, it is
said, have paid less than 12 1-2 per cent,
on the capital invested.
An exchange says, “money is high in
New York now.” It is so high down
here that when it gets low in New York
we don’t know the difference. It’s . high
down here all the time, and almost as
scarce as “hen’s teeth.”
THE STATE WE LIVE IN.
Trenton’s boom is wonderful. Lots
are selling faster than pool tickets on a
bigrace day.
Everybody in Athens is ready, from ex
perience, to answer the question: “Does
prohibition prohibit?” in the negative.
Nothing is so convincing as experience.
A woman living near the line of Jeffer
son and Walker counties is 7 feet 2 inches
high, 25 years old, weighs 180 pounds,
and can whip any man in the neighbor-
hoed.
Hon. S. B. Storey, of Buena Vista, has
a half Jersey which gave berth to twin
calves Friday morning, and just one year
ago, on the same date, she did the same
thing.
A soda water fountain exploded in a
drug store at Washington city, one day
last week, and killed a colored man who
was charging it.
Two gangs of counterfeiters were cap
tured near Paoli, Hlinois, one day last
week. They were circulating spurious
silver dollars by the wholesale.
A Catholic priest (Father Boyle) has
been found guilty at Raleigh, N. C., of a
criminal assault upon a young lady and
sentenced to hang on the 29th Nov.
A dynamite explosion in a mine near
Honghton, Michigan, exploded one day
last week and instantly killed two men
and injured twenty others, one fatally.
A traction engine broke through a
bridge at Fort Wayne, Indiana, on the
4th, and landed in the water some 30 feet
below, killing two men and severely
wounding three others.
A young wife, Mrs. Tunstall Smith,
committed suicide in Baltimore, Md.,
on the 5th, by shooting herself with a.
pistol. She was only 26 years old. The
cause for the rash act not known.
A young man attempted to murder
young lady in Baltimore the other day
because she would not marry him. That
fellow ought to he hustled out of the
world in double-quick at the end of
rope.
Three Months of Tanner.
From the Philadelphia Times.
The treasury statement for September
reveals very clearly why it was necessary
to get rid of Tanner.
Of the increase in government expen
ditures for the quarter ending Sept. 30,
it appears that $10,568,000 was due to in
creased outlay for the pension bureau
At this rate the increase for pensions
alone for the fiscal year would have been
$42,000,000 and upwards, or more than
50 per cent, more than in any former year.
In other words, to the $80,000,000 ex.
pended for pensions last year would have
been added $42,000,000 more, making a
otal of $122,000,000.
This sum is $30,000,000 greater than is
expended for the maintenance of Ger
many’s enormous standing army, $11,
000,000 more than the annual war outlay
of France, and $32,000,000 more than that
of England. Four years of Tanner at
this rate would have made our pension
expenditures equal to the war expend!
tores of all three of the great powers of
Westem Europe, unless some one could
have been hired to hold him.

The great Piedmont Exposition opened
on Monday last. Atlanta never fails
anything she undertakes, and this, from
all accounts, will be one of her greatest
exhibitions. The crowds that will at
tend it for the next four weeks will be
immense and Atlanta will cover herself
all over with glory as usual.
Cotton has boen bringing better prices
up to now than it will bring for the bal
ance of the season. This may he ex
plained in part by the effort made by
Mr. Steenstrand and the English spcula-
tors to make a corner on cotton and run
up the price. When these manipulators
began to unload their stocks a few days
ago the price of the staple went down
and if, as is stated, the English mills
close for two weeks, the price will drop
still lower.
Says the Charleston (S. C.) News and
Courier: The negro is not satisfied with
his position in this country. There is
no reason to hope that his burdens will
grow lighter or that his condition will
be improved as the years roll on. He
can never hope to be other than he is—
God made him for what he is; it would
be better for him and better for us if he
should go back to his own country. It is
the richest country on the globe, and was
appointed by the Almighty for his habi
tation.
The elections in the four new states last
Tuesday week—Montana, North Dakota,
South Dakota and Washington—resulted
in republican triumphs in three of them,
as was expected. North Dakota gives
the republicans about 8,000 majority;
South Dakota gives the republicans
about 21,000 majority and Washington is
drunk on republicanism to the extent of
8,000 to 12,000 majority. In all these
three states the republicans elect a ma
jority of the legislatures and all congress
men. The legislatures wiil elect sen
ators. Montana is doubtful and very
close. The new states and the west is
solid for the republicans. We would
rather bet, if we were a “better,” on
Massachusettes and Rhode Island going
democratic than to risk a wager on any
of the western states.
