Does farming pay ?
In answer to the above question
the Albany Herald prints the fol
lowing editorial:
“ We heard a prominent busi
ness man of Albany say a day or
two ago, that there was more mon
ey in farming than iu any other
business in which a man could-en
gage, in Southwest Georgia. He
then went on to enumerate seve
ral different business interests
with which he was identified, and
stated that his farming interest
was bringing more profit bn the
capital invested than any of them.
Being a successful business man,
he is interested in several business
enterprises, including one of the
city banks, and what he says
about farming as a business is,
therefore, entitled to some consid
eration.
- “ Being impressed with what
this level-headed business man,
speaking from his own experience,
has said about farming, we sought
another successful business man
who has a diversity of business in
terests, including farming. Tell
ing him what the other gentleman
had said, we asked him for his
opinion on the subject. With
out hesitation, he said that he
agreed with the first man inter
viewed. 1 As a regular thing and
as a sure way of accumulating
wealth,’ he added, ‘ I believe farm
ing is the best business that a man
who will farm intelligently and
on business principles, can engage
in in this country.’
“ ‘ Now,’ said the writer, ‘ let’s
count up the successful business
men in Albany and Dougherty*
county—men whom we have both
known for ten or fifteen years
past—and see how the number of
those who have made their money
farming will compare with those
who have made it in other branches
of business.’
“ Then the scribe and the pros
perous business man and farmer
commenced to enumerate the suc
cessful men of Albany who had
accumulated $10,000 or more dur
ing the last ten years. This list
was a short one, and soon exhaus
ted. Then the farmers in the
country surrounding Albany, who
were known to have accumulated
$10,000 or more during the last
ten years were taken up, and in
less time than it takes to tell it we
had three names on the farmers’
list for every one that had been
put on the list of city business
men. And on the farmers’ list
there were several negroes; on the
city bnsiness men’s list not one.
This is no fancy sketch. What
we have stated here is the result
of investigation and observation.
We could give names to establish
every statement made, but there
are some,who would perhaps ob
ject to having such liberty taken
with them in connection with
their affairs. Any mgtn who has
the acquaintance can do for him
self what we have done and veri
fy the foregoing statement of
facts.
“‘ Dpes farming pay ? ’
“ In Southwest Georgia it does,
and there are more men making
money at it than in any other line
of business, we are prepared to
prove it.”
The Deadly Sex.
God bless tlie ladies ! We
couldn’t’ get along, without ’em,
but all the same they do cause a
tremendous lot of tribulation in
this topsy-turvy world of ours.
The two sensations which have
agitated Atlanta this week are, as
usual, to be traced directly to the
gentler sex. If handsome Miss
Cohen hadn’t been clerk of the
Sanitary Department, Inspector
Joiner would have held his ton
gue, and ditto his job,' and all
these painful revelations of short
accounts, and shady horse deals
would have remained comfortably
concealed behind the transcenden
tal respectability of the Board of
Health. And if Mrs. O’Brien,
(to pursue th figure) hadn’t
smiled on young Bamford until
that gallant officer was moved to
break his engagement with the
Captain’s daughter—if nothing of
this sort had occurred, why, dove-
eyed peace would never have
ceased to brood above the barraeks
of McPherson.
So a pair of bright eyes in one
case rips a large, jagged hole
through the fabric of municipal
government, and in another con
vulses the army of a nation.
Great is the power of woman.

A Snake Story.
The Acworth Post claims that
Charley Floyd, a negro man of
that town, placed the “ shed skin” ,
of a snake in his hat to keep his
head cool—that after wearing it
there for some time, that pains
attacked him in the head, that he
grew worse—doctoi-s could do
nothing for him—a real snake
formed and grew under the ne
gro’s skin, and the “outlines-of
the real snake could be felt and
seen crawling downward in the
body of the negro ; from cheek to #
thigh it went; it appeared to he
twelve or fourteen inches long
and as large as a man’s wrist..
The leg burst and the negro died
a horrible death.”
True Democracy.
1 he. Chattanooga News puts it
thus: “ Democrats don’t need ‘ to
get together,’ but they heed to
gather in some of the lost sheep
that strayed from the fold under
the delusion that the election of
McKinley meant prosperity.
Most of them worth having, how-,
ever, are coming back of their own
accord. Those of the deserters
who were Republicans at heart
will never come back and are not
wanted back.”
A townis like a large family ;
we are interested in each other's
welfare—or should be. A cut-
throat-every-man-for-himself policy
means ruin for any community.
It means retrogression and failure.
The first lessons any family must
learn, tobe happy and successful,
are unity and mutual assistance.
The same applies to the business
life of a town ana the more gen
erally it is obeyed the more abund
ant will be the city’s prosperity.—
