To Tin-: Peoplk of Georgia The
Central railroad, in connection with
the state agricultural society, lias just
established a bureau of immigration,
that promises great goo.i to the state,
if the people will give it their encour
agement and active aid. The object
»f O.ii communication i, to got the
plans of the burearu fully and prop¬
erly before the public, in order that
all the different sections of the state
may cooperate in bringing their help
to the enterprise.
The Central authorities have selec¬
ted Mr. W. L. Glessner, of Amerieus,
a gentleman in every way qualified
to take the management of the bureau.
Mr. Glessner will begin at an early
day the publication of a monthly pa
per, to be kown as The Houther Em
pire, devoted to the agricultural in
forests of the state.
The purpose of this publication will
be to disseminate, throughout the
north and west, reliable information
about our climate, soil, field crops,
mirerals, woods, etc., in order to
induce parties from these sections to
purchase our unoccupied lands, take
up their residence with us and help
us to build up the material interests
of the state. Ten thousand copies of
the Southern Empire, will be judi¬
ciously distributed where they will
effect the most good.
About midsummer, the central will
fit up a handsome ear, beautifully let¬
tered in the name of the society, to be
filled with samples of vegetables,
field crops, minerals, woods, etc., il¬
lustrative of tiie resources of the state.
The car will be taken, under the
management of Mr. Glessner, to the
state and district fairs of the north
and west, to aid more effectually, in
advertising the state. With this car
Mr. Glessner will spend several
months in the states north of us, in
tin* interest of immigration- In addi
ditiou to the copies of the Southern
Emhire taken with him Mr. Glessner
will be glad to carry, also, any num¬
ber of circulars and pamphlets, fur¬
nished him by any country or section
desiring to advertise its general ad¬
vantages. It must be understood that
the Centra I does not coptine its scheme
to its own line of roads but it is
desired that the benefits shall be
shared by all parts of the state
equally and alike.
During his stay noj-th Mr. Glessner
will make up large excursion parties
to be brought to the state fair. The
ear under his charge is intended to
represent Georgia in miniature, and
the state fair is expected to illustrate
the products and rosources of the
state abundantly and in profusion.
I he success of the undertaking, t here¬
fore, must depend largely upon the
success of the state fair. If the coun¬
ties desiring immigration will send
to the state fair large exhibits, beau¬
tifully arranged, our visitors from the
north will be interested and attracted
and we will doubtless, secure large
numbers of them as settlers, If Oil
the other hand the people of the state
are indifferent and allow the state
fair to be a failure the bureau of im¬
migration will be a failure also, and
we will be left again to the slow
methods of the past that bring
gradual decay. In addition to these
unusual advantages, the counties
making exhibits can enter for the
splendid premiums offered by the
society for the best county display.
NX e will be glad to make room in
our agricultural building for any and
every county that will bring us wor¬
thy exhibits of fieid crops, vegetables,
minerals, wood, etc., etc. Applica¬
tions for space should be made as
! early as possible, so that we may
! determine in time the additional
i buildings necessary to accomodate
j exhibits.
I am now in correspondence with
the railroads of tho state to secure the
lowest possible rates for the transpor
I ! tation have already of exhibits. reed Many take of the roads
a S to county
exhibits to Maeon and return them
without charge for freight. The re
of my efforts with other roads
will be given to the public in due
time.
In its plans for building up the state,
the Central does not stop with the
scheme for immigration here present
introducing what ever changes may
be needed, in bringing about better
methods upo our farms that will pro
dace better results and establish
thrift and prosperity among our own
people. In addition to subscribing
liberally to the fuuds of the agrieul
tural society, the Central has offered
the society every facility for dissemi
nating useful information among the
farmers, and for bringing them to
gether in local and district clubs, for
the purpose of counsel and concert of
action.
Realizing the benefits that may
eonie to farmers by an actual com
parison of methods and results, Mr.
M. S. Belknap, general manager of
the Central, authorizes me to say that
the Central will transport, free from
all charges from freight, all exhibits
intended for local fairs, held under
the management of the J8tate Agri
cultural society-.
Purely there is nothing left to he
added to the action of the Central in
... the scheme that x. it . . has opened , up for
; the good
of the state. This is but the
begining of an enterprise which the
Central is willing to continue, as long
as the people will lend the help nec
essary to carry it through.
The state fair is to be a large factor
I in the results to come from this
scheme. It is a state institution held,
not in the interest of any one section,
or for tiie exclusive benefit of any one
elass, but for the purpose of develop¬
ing all the reasourees of the state *
...... l nder .present . advantages, , , from . its
connection with the central's bureau
of immigration, the generous aid of
, fere.i , by , other roads and the services
tendered by the press of the state, it
deserves the help of every patriotic
citizen, that it may meet the lightest
expectations for good. It will be my
pleasure to answer any inquiries upon
the subject matter of this comhauni
j cation.
I Papers favorable to the enterprise
will please publish. XV. J. Nothkn,

ANTIQUITY OF THE TELEPHONE.

“Tho principle of tho telephone
has been known for 2,000 yea” j n
India,” was the rather incredible b^ j
statement made last night *cd
Amesbury, who has just retifriilfcl to
New in York land after a twoyears’tsoj^Jjtrn

confined entirely to their te»
and its existence has rent: 1 a
secret until within a very fe\£ '^ars.
“I was in a town cailedr
about two hundred miles froth l
ras, and while there beeaj^ ac
quainted with an English. - flatter
named Harrington who wasavTimo
favorite with the natives beqjtt«) on
one occasion lie had saved, wasjj*4prv i driest
from drowning. He andjHrVfeat
genial, pleasant fellow
peculiar magnetism about that ;
made and kept friends ev*: re
“It was through HarHu., lr *,c
1 was enabled to learn the exiateiYbe
of telephonic communication'and to
satisfy myself of its antiquity-.
“There are two temples in the
village about a mile apart. In the
interior and on the ground floor of
each is a small circular structure
which is guarded day and night
from the natives as well as from
strangers and is supposed to be the
abiding place of the ‘governing
spirit,’but in reality is the terminus
of the telephonic line, which is laid
underground from one building ° to
the other.
“Thcsupcrstitous natives regarded
this little structure with the greatest
awe and reverence, because they
had seen demonstrated before their
eyes—or rather ears—the power of
this spirit to communicate with the
other temple. They were required
to make their offering in one build¬
ing, and make known their wishes
and desires. Then immediately
repairing to the second temple they
would be informed of all they- had
said and done, although neither
priest had left his post. This was
regarded as a demonstration of the
power of the spirit.
“XVe wore unable to determine
the composition of the wire that
connected the two buildings. It was
some kind of metal, but neither
steel, copper nor brass, although it
closely resembled the latter. The
transmitter was of wood and about
the size of the head ot a flour barrel,
and to establish connection, instead
of ringing a bell, the person wishing
to attract attention at the other end
stood close to the curious looking
thing and shouted, ‘Ooey! ooey!
ooey!’
“This was answered by a similar
shout, which, while faint, was dis- j
tinet, and could be heard two feet I
away. |
“After Harrington and I had i
gained rather, the confidence of the priests j
—or, after he had—we were
given a carte blanche to do as we I
pleased, and we talked to each other
for more than an hour, and were
enabled to make an incomplete in- !
vestigation. !
“We learned that the telephone
that we saw had been in use for
thirty years. The priests were verv :
old men, and they- remembered that :
the line ot communication had been
renewed only once during their in
cumbeney.
-• They- showed us remains of
worm-eaten transmitters and wood

DOES THESMALL FAKN PAY?
. A . writer . . ,. the harm Life . ._
in says:
“Does the small farm pay better in
proportion to its size than the large
one Jjf ■ ,s a question often asked me
mon interested in large farms,
j 1 hoso .' vh ? enquire are usually ready
mn,n | il,n l ‘ iat docs no L ^ ut
1 1 ,ol, « ! 1 } ° ,tcn avoid un argument on
I the subject, l I am equally well con¬
vinced that it does pay much better.
In considering the question there
are different things to be looked at.
It is true that in many cases the man
who can make a small farm pay can
j ,„ ake lav r ou0 )lay ' in
p, oportion Dia # f ar m can be too
. large. I know a farmer that trios
a | one ( 0 farm 100 acres, who, if he
would retain about five acres and
: let the rest to some good farmer,
would double his yearly income,
Let me particularize:
This farmer puts in about eight
acres of corn with the intention of
working it himself,
He also plants two or three acres of
potatoes, some 10 to 20 acres of oats
ar, d 15 to 20 acres of wheat—or in
round numbers ho has about 50
acres under cultivation, the work on
which he expects to do himself. In
this* lie makes his first mistake, and
acres '"**,**? left lor »***■ pasture and He meadow. lias 110
The point I wish to make is, that
this farmer has too many irons in
the fire. He should have one man
by the year, and il necessary at
times, as it probably would be to his
work properly and in season, he
should employ another by the day.
A second mistake is in attempting
to crop land without a sufficient
-.quantity farmers of manure. I have seen
who worked their land to
death without enough manure, who
-never thought of clover, who slaved
early and kite as if there were no
other days to come, and at the end
of the year it was the same old
story, ?Ja farmers living, that’s all.” How
many-, with 100 acres are.
just doing the same thing. To the
question often asked by such indi¬
vidual, “How can I make my farm
pay?” 1 would answer, “Give it
manure or give it a rest. Do not let
your farm run down ; crop only what
you have manure enough to dress;
keep the land well covered.”
1 wish right here to call the at
tention ,d> t!l ° farmers who are in the
dr .Y belt, those of Ohio especially, to
*- 10 v alue of fresh manure. This
fall, when you were top dressing
3* oul ‘ wheatfields, did it not come
to your mind that the manure had
decreased in value about one-half
since last spring? Had you taken
that manure and spread it oyer your
sod before you planted corn, your
torn would have yielded one-third
moi ‘e and your wheatfields would
nmv Le a very different color. 1
bave pteached this to some of the
formers around me for years but
! be Y hold to the topdressing,
* know of somo few who scatter
their manure when fresh, so that
rain can beat it into the ground,
then plow it under. Their farms
are improving tiie every year, while
those who lot tnauure lie in the
barn yard from one year to the next,
then throw it on the surface of the
land for the sun and the wind to
carry away, are at a standstill. I
will acknowledge that you may get
a better crop of wheat by top-dress¬
ing in autumn, but if you put two
years’ crops together the advantage
will be decidedly in plowing under
the previous spring.
It we small fruit growers and
market gardeners were to use our
manure in this style and get no bet¬
ter returns from it than does the
average farmer we should soon be
broken up at the prices we have to
P a y. 1 pay 7- more for manure for
acres each year than the average
"’heat grower makes of his 40 acres
wheat. 1 believe that were he to
spend one-half as much his y-ield
would be so increased in a few years
that his outlay would be returned
tenfold. Here is where the small
form has the advantage over the
large one. It is worked every year;
every- foot has to pay; what is planted
sure to come, let the season be
or dry, for the ground is always
m °ist. You can notice when you
work about where the old stock
yard has been for years the soil i
holds the dampness. Some are great
sticklers fer rotation of crops. They
sa Y wo must not take over two crops j
°* field. corn This in succession is all from the If same j j
nonsense. you
have tiie manure to cover it as it |
ought to be covered y-ou can raise j
corn crops in succession for 25 years. 1
H is the manure that pays; see that |
you lose none of it. j
And this leads to the subject of I
specialties in farming, which is tho
strong point in favor of the small
farm. Not but you can make a
specialty of some one thing on the
large farm also, though not with the
same advantage as on the small farm,
simply oecause a proportionally
large amount of floating capital is
not usually at command. I can
find work for five men for seven
months in the year on 30 acres, and
pay from §15 to §20 per month be
sides board. I pay more for
manure than the average
farmer clears from his wheat on the
same number of acres. Quite a dif
ference between this and attempting
to run 160 acres "by- one-man power
without manure. Some say special
ties foil. What if they do? Or- j
dinary farm crops sometimes fail.!
This year in Ohio we lost apple 1
our
crop, but other crops made up for
I it. The berry crop sold for more
than it has for years the reason
j wholnade being a general shortage. The man
| though a specialty of berries, al
his crop also was short had
berries also to sell and made some
money, while the one who had but a
small patch had none to sell
'
I do not mean to say that we
should drop everything else and just
tie to one thing, by any means; but
we should take one or two things
and plant largely of them, and then
raise enough other truck to keep up
expense and run the farm. 1 take
two crops leave yearly from my land and
still it in better condition than
I found it. It is manure, labor,
thorough culture, economy that
makes the small farm pay. A
second crop of vegetables takes no
more fertility from the soil than a
crop of weeds. It takes no more to
grow a good article than a poor one ;
it will command a bettor price and
is no trouble to sell. In speaking of
my own place I do not include my
plant trade. That is a business by
itself. Some things I have not ex¬
plained as fully as i could have
wished. I will take up somo of the
subjects separately at another time.
As winter is now upon us we have
time to consider whether some of us
are not going over too much ground.
Let us bear in mind that what is
worth doing at all is worth doing
well.
The South’s Manufacturing Advan¬
tages.
Some years ago Gov. Gordon said
that in manufacturing the lower
grades of cotton goods, the southern
manufacturers had an advantage of
fully 10 per cent, over those of New
England. This statement was ques¬
tioned at tiie time, but a Mr. Hill,
from one of the New England States
who for five or six years has been
superintendent of the Eagle and
phoenix mills at col urn bus, recently
said that lie had become convinced
of its correctness—in fact, that tho
southern manufacturer has an ad¬
vantage of as much as 15 per cent.
In an interview in a late issue of the
New York Graphic, Gov. Gordon
reiterates his statement, and shows
the reasons for such an advantage.
It is duo, ho says, to economic and
climatic causes.
In the first place, the cotton is
manufactured where it is grown, and
this saves the middleman’s commis¬
sion, and it prevents wastage* from
samplings, and from other sources/
That the southern climate affects the
cost of manufaeturingcotton goods isa
fact that tire Eastern manufacturers
seem to find some difficulty in grasp¬
ing. It cheapens both mill power
and labor. In what way? Tho
cheapest power for mill purposes is
water, and in the south the water
can be utilized at all seasons.
Drouths rarely interfere, and the
rivers are never frozen. It is not
so in the East. There droughts and
cold compel the mills to shut down.
Therefore the manufacturers must
i? i steam, which means the erection
of" expensive boilers, engines and
other appliances. In the south la¬
bor is cheaper. The homes of labor¬
ers need not be so expensive; fuel
is cheaper; less clothing is required,
and food is not so costly. The east¬
ern laborers require more meat to
produce animal heat; the southern
laborer in summer can subsist to
great extent on vegetables, which he
can himself raise, Gov. Gordon
says it is not alone the price of
man’s labor which measures his re¬
muneration—it is also tho cost of
living; and while the southern mill
hands got less wages, they can real¬
ly live better than those of the
east.
Tim manufacturing growth of the
south in tite last few years has been
very marked, and it was never more
so than last year. It is believed
that the present year will show even
a better record. With such advan¬
tages as the south possesses, what is
to hinder her from becoming a great
manufacturing section ?—Ex.
