This company is now manufactur¬
ing one of tiie host high grade fertili¬
zers in tin* market. Tills fertilizer is
Bites’ Georgia Standard Guano. Its
excellent qualities have been fully
established by actual tests and by the
experience of the numerous farmers
w ho have used it. The premiums of
f wed by this company Inst year wore
promptly paid. They are now offer¬
ing tiie following premiums:
For host yield of lint cotton from
one acre $50.
For best yield of lint cotton from
three acres $100.
For best yield of lint cotton from
11 vc acres $250.
The following record will give "our
funner readers an idea of what can be
done with Bates’ Standard Guano:
A (IRANI) RECORD.
What do you think of a yield of
3,313 pounds land? of lint Who cotton that from five
acres of says Geor¬
gia soli do will is to not give produce? it chance. All you
have to a
Last year the Griffin Fertilizer and
Manufacturing Company offered a
prize of $500 in gold for the greatest
yield from 5 acres of land upon w hich
their Georgia Standard Guano alone
was used. The rule was enforced that
no other manure of any kind should
be used. Stable manure, lot rakings,
ricb jots earth from fence corners or w ood
were nil discarded. Only the
natural earth and the guano were
used and we have these startling re¬
sults.
Therefore we say that Georgia soil
will produce abundant crops if you
w ill give it a fair chance, and the way
to do it is to give it a liberal bait of
Bute*’ Standard Guano.
Now take the lowest of tin* five
contestants named and you w ill see
that he made one heavy bale of cotton
per acre on very poor land, while the
highest made 12 hales of 448 pounds
on five acres of ordinary land. It the
crop of one bale per acre pays the big
profit whieh Dr. Wilson, one of the
most reliable men in tne county, will
ft II yen it docs, how much more will
2 2-5 hah s per acre pay ?

day. The dark clouds of tiie early

As tiie day grew on, occasional spats
of snow promised a real winter scene,
»„t ,h, -U*»«w.nd Mow the clouds
so rapidly that the deposits of snow
were quite light and soon disappeared
There were appearantly several
changes in the temperature during
the day. But taken all together it
may be put down in the calender as
the bleakest day that has come to us
during this winter.

During last week the rain was not
continuous, but the intervals were
not lengthy. The result of it was that
our streets were worse than muddy,
and pedestrians who had to travel
over them had a splendid opportuni¬
ty to take in through their feet a full
dose of pneumonia. And is it a de¬
batable question, whether a half
dozen fully developed cases of pneu
monia would cost the town less than
tiie paving of our street crossings
with rock? If debatable, we would
like to hear the discussion proceed.
A slight expenditure of money, and
a little labor in placing a few broad,
flat rocks would certainly improve
our street crossings.

Dr. Branham, the pastor, occupied
his pulpit at the Baptist church and
, gave his hearers, a splendid sermon.
The Doctor never tails to evolve from
1 the subjects he handles, truths that
are ediiying to those who hear him.
THE F.1COBV PStUtlilUSMNO.
The Forsyth Manufacturing Com
pan 3 ' is no longer a creature of the
imagination, but an actual, bonatide
reality,a living, moving, active,
ing body coporate. Nor is Forsyth’s
cotton factory a mere speck in the
distance, a creature of the fancy, but
is also a rapidly approaching reality.
A mere glance at the foundation
work that lias been done is proof
stantial of this fact. Walking
through the building on Friday
morn,n S we found tlie brick masons
working like bees at the hive, and
discovered that much work had been
done, and the way clear for the re
main der of the work.
The ever watchful eye of Mr. Jno.
L. Ponder, through whose courtesy
we learned the progress of affairs
there, sees tliat the work is done ac¬
cording to specifications. The arange
ment of the building, when finished,
will be complete, having all necessary
conveniences. The big iron wheel
that will drive all the machinery is a
massive piece, being twelve feet in
diameter with twenty inch face. The
water supply comes from a well
twelve feet in diameter with several
feet depth of water. All the rooms
will be splendidly arranged for ample
light and well ventilated, while each
department will be in a manner iso¬
lated but harmonious in operation. *
The orders for all the machinery,
except the engine boiler, have been
placed, and the machinery will be in
readiness at the proper time.
The company is holding the order
for the boiler, in order that they may
secure in it, as they have in the other
machinery, the very best with latest
improvements. Business men, as
they are, with good judgment, they
are making the foundation of their
enterprise in every particular, firm
and sound. !
Looking upon the evidences of
progress, and the workmen pushing
the work, we could hut picture the
carding machines in motion, and the
whirling spindles making sweet
music for the ears of our people.
We would not assert it in disparage-'
nieut of what others have done for
our community, but when we con¬
template the good results that will
naturally, and as a sequence, flow
from this enterprise to the people of
this section, we are prepared to say
that the Forsyth Manufacturing
Company has done and is doing more
for Forsyth; more to heighten the
hopes of our citizens, and to invite
prosperity to this community than
all previous efforts have accomplish¬
ed. For when their enterprise shall
have been, accomplished, and the
factory put in operation, as it spon
will be, it will give such an impetus
to affairs generally hereabouts, as we
have never had before; and it will
stand as a firm, and towering mon li¬
ment inviting capital to engage in
other like enterprises in our midst.
May success crown every lick put
upon the factory and may we soon
hear the music of its machinery
echoing among the surrounding hills.
Enlarge lUe Court ilootn.
We have heard a number of citizens
of the the county complain of the in¬
convenience and uncomfortabieness
of our court room during sessions of
court and other public gatherings
therein because of its smaiinesss. No
juror, witness, or citizen, who is com¬
pelled to remain in tiie court room
during proceedings of court will
gainsay the fact that the court room
is too small to accommodate those
who desire to attend the sessions of
the court. Indeed any one who will
spend live minutes in attendance up¬
on the summer sessions, especially,
of our court will be convinced that
there is need of more space in the
courtroom. Now to secure an ample,
convenient, and comfortable court
room will necessitate either additions
to tiie present court house or build¬
ing of new one. Of these two alter
nations, the adding to the present
structure would involve much less
expense. This could be done in a
way that would give us one of the
most comfortable court rooms and
one of the most conveniently arrang¬
ed court houses in the state. As we
have before suggested in former arti¬
cles on this subject, this result can
be accomplished with a comparative¬
ly small expenditure of money,-the
payment of which can be so arranged
:as that the tax payers of tiie county
would scarcely realize that they were
paying it. Really under a judicious
arrangement, we are satisfied that
the accomplishment of the desired
result in this particular would not
impose upon the people of the county
au aunual additional tax. for a short
period, of more than 20 cents on the
$1,000 worth of property,
Now the court house is public
propeltx , it belongs to ihe people
who see and know what is needed;
and if they want a court room that
will give them such accommodation
and comfort as they have a right to
demand, then let them speak out on
question and have the grand jury
at a PP roac *h>!.g session of court
^xe take the tne matter matter in in hand. liana.

Mr. Editor:—T here is a kind of
love and fondness for old home and
nativity in the breast of every true
man. With Kelsey’s district and
Bumall, from childhood, through
boyhood to mature years, with all its
enjoyments, you are familiar.
Since you left Hamah, there have
been many changes, some of which I
will note. Mr. I?. II. Bazemorc,
merchant and farmer, has been suc
ceeded by Mr. G. P. Rankin. Mr.
Bazemore was a safe merchant, and a
progressive farmer. He made more
cotton per acre than any man in this
section, bj- free use of fertslizers and
thorough cultivation. Now that both
his time and talents will be concen
trated on farming, no doubt he will
make a high mark.
Mr. Pleas Rankin comes well en¬
dorsed as a,good business young man.
No other recommendation is needed
except that he received his training
from Mr. M. Greenwood, of your city,
one of the most energetic and thor¬
ough business men in the state. Mr.
Rankin seems to be putting forth all
essentials to success, which we hope
he will achieve, for he is a worthy
young man, prompt, attentive to busi¬
ness, and quite accommodating. Go
to see Pleas once and you will be apt
to go again.
I)r. G. M. Vincent has located at
Bamah; is quite an interesting old
gentleman, affable and intelligent,
His son, Camillus and family also are
located here, engaged in farming; his
wife has secured a school near by and
will teach.
Miss Issie Rankin, a most amiable
young lady, has secured the
school at Montpellier acade
my, and doubtless will give
satisfaction to pupils, and to
parents who may entrust to her the
care arid instruction of their children.
Kelsey’s district will lose one of the
best youg farmers in this section, in
the person of Mr. I. S. Maynard.
Isham has been well drilled in every¬
thing connected with the farm by his
father, Mr. W. T. Maynard, who >s
one of tiie best farmers in the state,
and a good economist. But we are
glad to know that he will stop near
enough togive us liis influence. Rus
selvilie may be proud of him as a
pushing, good farmer, genial com
panion and good neighbor,
The Messrs. Wilson and Hammock
have changed location from Ivelsey’s
to Russelvllle district; they are all
good farmers aud drive business
right ahead.
Mr. Walter Bazemore has bought
the old Ross place, and is rebuilding
on the ashes of the good house that
was burned there last year. He is a
good farmer and a hard worker.
Mr. Ruben Davis from Bibb county
lias located near Bamah, and is a cap¬
ital farmer. He made last year, with
one horse, 14 bales of cotton, and a
good supply of other crops with ids
own hands. With two other plows
in the hands of croppers, he also
made good crops.
Mr. Bone Davis, reared near
Hainan is another good farmer, who
made last year, good crops of cotton
corn, oats, potatoes, meat &c., and
cleared, a good amount of money.
His brother, Joshua J. Davis, also is
a good farmer.
A few of our farmers remind the
writer of ante-bellum days, when
about their farms. Y’ou can hear the
sound of their axes far in the distance,
cutting, clearing land, and felling
trees; such as Messrs. J. S Jossy, T.
W. Itankin, Bone Davis, Williford,
Frank Bazemore, &c.
But it is to be regretted that there
is but little sign of activiiy on some
farms; we would be glad to see it dif¬
ferent, but with the present system
of farming persued by some people, it
will always be dull, and not very at¬
tractive—not even to travelers pass¬
ing along our highways.
Y~ou are aware that Rev. L. Rush is
pastor of Culloden circuit, which in- |
eludes tki3 section, again this year,
is an able and interesting preach
er, whose familiarly with the Bible
and general church history is equal
ed by few. He has reached a ripe age
in the ministry, aud has utilized well
his time.
Miss Rebecca Waller, who was
born and reared in this community,
died a few days since and was buried
at the old family homestead.
Mrs. Wash Zates died on the 19th
instaut and was buried at Roger’s
church.
.
Mr. A. J. W iliiams had bis cotton
house and corn crib, with two bales of
seed cotton, the seed from three or
four bales, and 120 bushels of corn, and
a lot of fodder burned last week, the
fire supposed to have originated from
carelessness.
The mail carrier, Jim T am," } ;
,
colored, from Forsyth to Bamah
makes us glad three times a week

ly prompt. Out of a half dozen pap¬
ers, it is the first one we read; because i

FORSYTH, FOR IA.
Bribery in Elections.
That purchase and sale of votes in
national, state, county and even in
municipal elections is a common and
a growing evil in this country we
presume no one will deny. And it
is, not infrequently, boldly and pub
U c l v intimated that legislation is
sometimes eontroled in this way.
Can any good and true citizen con¬
ceive of'a more putrid stream of cor
niption that can bo turned m upon
the people of a republican govern
ment ? If suffragists aro to be
marched to tho polls to cast their
ballots for the highest bidder, then
where are the boasted rights of an
American freeman? If bribers and
tiie bribed are to hold the balance of
power in any election, then where
are we to look for protection to life,
liberty and property?
But we are glad that the people
in some sections are waking up to
this alarming state of affairs, and wc
trust this awakening may be univers¬
al. We heart ilyedorse every word and
sentiment of theibliowing resolutions
which were adopted in Brooks coun¬
ty and which speak for themselves.
VV he re as, bribery in national, state,
and county elections has grown to
such proportions as to become a
menace to our form of government,
and believing it to be the duty of the
people to take a bold and determined
stand against it.
Resolved, that we tho members
of Brooks County Alliance, hereby
put on record our earnest protest
against this unlawful, corrupt and
demoralizing practice.
Resolved, that in future' we will
work, mdividualy and as an organ
izalion, against any candidate who
uses, through himself or friends,
money, whisky, provisions, clothing
or promises of reward of any kind
for services rendered, in order to se¬
cure bis election.
Resolved,^That wc hereby condo m n
in stron'g terms the practice of hiring
Negro “leaders” to influence the
vote of their race, with mono}’' or
whisky*, or in any oldies way, for the
candidates for public.office.
Resolved, that we ask the earnest
and continuous co-operation of the Al
iianeemen of Georgia, and of every
law-respecting voter outside of our
organization, in tin's movement, to
the end that the law against bribery
may be upheld and our politics be pu¬
rified of its present rooking corrup¬
tion.
Resolved, That we request the
press of tho state to copy these res¬
olutions and to lend the weight of
its powerful influence to the acoom
piishing of the great reform pro
posed,

“The Tobacco Tax.”
Lawrenceville Herald.
A bill is now pending providing for
the repeal of this odius tax. It ought
to bo wiped out, root aud branch,
and we cannot see on what ground
a southern man can refuse to vote
for its repeal. Yetthero seems to bo
some opposition to it from leading
democrats, who seek to have its con¬
sideration deferred until the next
congress meets. Why should it bo
postponed until the republicans come
into power and obtain the credit of
giving one section of the country re¬
lief from a burdensome and unjust
excise tax, when the neeesslies of
the government do uotdemand such
an arbitrary exaction.
It is doubtful whether the repub¬
licans will pass tho bill. Notwith¬
standing their high prehensions
during the campaign ofreioiving tho
country of the excise taxes, wo have
not for a moment beloived they
would relinquish this source of rev
enuoto the govern merit. They want
money, and lots of it to expend upon
their favorite schemes. They will
keep the tariff at high-water mark,
but they cannot afford to see tho
south benefitted by a release from
this, the most obnoxious of all taxes
now levied still stands upon tho
statute books.
it is not only unjust ,but as we be¬
lieve, unconstitutional, the decision
of the supreme court to the contrary
notwithstanding. spirit It violates tho
of that instrument, which re
quires all such taxes to bo uniform.
Now, while it is true that tobacco
in ali sections of the country is taxed
the same, like tho cotton tax it affects
only a small portion of the United
States, as it is only raised in several
states to a nr consid era ble exteu t. It
is us if a law should be passed taxing
oranges or the peculiar production of
the soil in any locality. If the corn
or wheat of the northwest was taxed
a howl would come up that would
nearly overturn the eapitol, and
yet there is hardly a section whore
both cannot be raised.
The principal ground of ouroppo
sition to this tax is that it is in effect
a taxon land, if the production of
the soil is taxed thereby those pro¬
ductions yield a smaller income and
tho value of the land is depreciated,
if the tobacco tax was repealed it is
hardly probable that the price would
be reduced the full amount of the
tax now paid. The consumer will
get it cheaper, while the producer
would get a better reward for his
labor.
