THE SOUTH IN 18B4.
The Baltimore Record after re¬
ferring to the depression and ad¬
verse circumstances that bore down
upon the business and general
interests of our southland during
last year says :
“The year has been more a pe¬
riod of recuperation than of pro¬
gress, yet there has been a forward
movement, which, conceived with
cautiousness and a liberal applica¬
tion of business principles, health¬ pos¬
sessed all the elements of
fulness. Capitalists have been
slow to foster new enterprises, and
only those enlisted their support
whose environment has offered
the most encouraging and legiti¬
mate prospects. The investor be¬
came an investigator during the

resulted to the south from this
movement, and its significance is
already shown by a wider and more
personal acquaintance of the invest¬
ing public with its resources.
The record of progress made
during the year evidences a well
defined preference for Southern
investments, and reflects a more
general existence of favorable im¬
pressions that, with the full resto¬
ration of confidence in the business
world, will influence a considerable
tide of capital towards southern
channels. What has been done
during the past year is an opening things
wedge, and as the aspects of
for the new year are more cheerful
than those which ushered in 1894,
it is a perfectly reasonable deduc¬
tion to look for greater prosperity
and greater progress in 1895.”
The Record’s views on import
ant questions and especially those
relating to the business world are
generally strong and practical.
There is no doubt that the gen¬
eral depressions of 1894, that pre¬
vailed in this country brought the
south more prominently before the
business world as the great section
of a coming prosperity. Because
of these, its resources and advan¬
tages were more carefully investi¬
gated by capitalists and invasions
and thereby it was crhl.

it will not be be safely long deT^wl^Jj said that
may some
these fruits are being already real¬
ized. The projection and the
springing into life of the many and
varied new enterprises in the
southern states is a substantiation
of this truth.
While the progressiveness of
the south may have been checked
by the adversities of last year, the
foundation therefor was made
stronger and firmer. And hence
with the actual and existing facts
before them, stripped of the para¬
phernalia of doubt and despond,
we see no good reason why our
people should enter upon the la¬
bors of 1895 * n J spirit of despair,
but many reasons why they should
do so in a spirit of bright hopes
and bouvant expectations.
Gov. Atkinson, last week, re¬
fused to grant the pardon of Harry
Hill who is serving a term as a
pentitentiary convict, having been
convicted in Atlanta about a year
ago. The Governor lias the nerve
to carry out his convictions of
right. There is too much sickly
sentimentalism among the people
relative to men in the higher cir¬
cles who are convicted of crime.
Our courts in the main are hu¬
manely lenient towards criminals,
and sentimentalism should not be
permitted to set their work aside.

Unless the present congress
legislates with wisdom and rapidi¬
ty during the few remaining weeks
of its life it will doubtless be
classed as a slow going machine.
The acts and doings of congress
touching financial legislation indi¬
cate that there is not enough of
the true, patriotic element in that
body to pass any measure on that
line. The general opinion of the
people now is that no financial leg¬
islation can be had by the present
congress.

A few democrats combined with

accomplish that end. The vote
showed that the populists held the

to accomplish the defeat of the

THE MONBOB APVERTISER: FORSYTH. GA., TUESDAY. JANUARY 15, 1895.
NOTHING YET DONE.
When the present congress was
elected, being largely democratic,
the hope and expectation of the
people for Financial relief ran high.
Its life is drawing to a close, only
a few weeks remaining in which it
can work, and yet nothing definite
has been done in the way of finan¬
cial legislation to give the people
the looked for relief.
Notwithstanding the members
of the lower house were elected
upon one general platform incor¬
porating specific pledges relative
to financial legislation, yet want of
consensus of opinion among them
touching that important question
has prevented legislative progress
in that direction.
There is no fact more patent
and more manifest to the people
of this government than the fact
that there is imperative need for
such legislation as will bring about a
reform in our financial system, and
that unless such legislation is had,
and that speedily, harmful iesults
from our financial system must
continue to obtain.
Nevertheless we have before
us the appaling fact of democratic
representatives in congress who,
actuated by personal pique and
sectional prejudice, are treating
this matter with stolid indiffer¬
ence, and posing themselves as
barriers to all efforts for financial
reform, and to everything that
tends toward a better state of finan¬
cial affairs. Such men may be
democrats in name, but are they
democrats in principle? Are they
holding up the national democratic
platform as the guide of their ac¬
tions, or are they trampling it
under foot as a thing to be spit
upon? What is their mission as
democrats in congress? Is it to
create division in the democratic
ranks, to throw firebrands in the
democratic camp, and to oppose
those true and faithful democrats
who are laboring to maintain demo¬
cratic principles and to further the
best interest of the people? Will
they persist in ignoring the interest
of the people to the end? This is a
question that now concerns the
masses of this country.
Unlike some of the would-be
I^^isek journals of the country,
is not ready to
' "......■- KEssiuen |Ktions of a few door demo- of
at tne
WMs head, and to charge the
■ c and the administration
with recr&mqgto delegated trusts,
with unfaithfume5§7--and__ with in¬
competency. Such charges are be
coming nauseating to the level¬
headed .classes of this American
republic who do their own political
thinking.
On the contrary we have that
faith in the administrative powers
now holding the reins of govern¬
ment that warrants us in saying
that if congress would promptly
enact into law the views of the ad¬
ministration touching the great
national questions embodying the
interest of the people, the financial
troubles of the country would as
promptly be swept away.
Secure Good Teachers.
Prof. G. lL Glenn, the new state school
commissioner, in a circular letter to tlie
county school commissioners of the
state, among other suggestions says:
“I beg to charge you also to use the
greatest care in conjunction with selection your
board of education in the
of teachers. The teacher makes the
school, and the school can be no better
than tlie teacher. You can do much to
awaken the interest of your people and in
this matter. By personal appeals demand
public addresses you can create help a
for good teachers, who will us in
making good schools." Prof. Glenn strikes
In this suggestion
the key note for successful and profita¬
ble schools. It is an incontrovertable
truth that a school will not aud can not
be better than the teacher. And if the
schools of this country ever be what
they should be, and if our children ever
be educated properly, those competent
to teach must be put in charge of tbe
schools. A man or a woman may be
educated ever so well, and yet be totally
unfit for tlie position of teacher. Some
well educated people can not present in
an intelligent manner what they know.
Such people should never he allowed to
don the robe of teacher, for as such they
will block the educational progress of
pupils. And one who assumes tlie roll
of teacher in the school room aud does
not thoroughly aud intelligently compre¬ teach
hend what he or she proposes to
is worse than the overloaded tail of a
kite.

DIVERSIFIED FARMING.
BY B. H. ZELI.NER, OK MOXliOF, CO.
The following article was written as a
prize essay twenty years ago, and for
which the prize was awarded, and being
quite appropriate to the present time we
reproduce it for the benefit of our farm
ers:
The first consideration and only safe
principle in farming is to make the farm
self-sustaining, by making and raising
upon the place all us furnishings aud
supplies that and are adaptable to the soil
and climate to the skill of first class
farm labotei sume well digested sys¬
tem of diversified farming should be
promptly adopted. The following order
of business, if accepted and vigorously
prosecuted, will, almost invariably, pro¬
cure success: On a farm of one hundred
and ten acres, twenty-five acres should
always be at rest or used for pasturage
only, rotating around every four years.
Twenty-five acres should be sown in
wheat and oats; twenty-five planted in
coi n and an equal number of acres put in
cotton. The remaining ten acres should
be divided into patches for barley, rye,
clover, turnips, potatoes, etc. Especially
should gardens, small patches and hasty
c-ops be plowed deep and well fertilized.
latitude The following dates are given for the
of Macon and Columbus: From
10th of August to the 1st of September,
sow turn’ps freely. F'or table use in
winter and spring they are almost indis¬
pensable, and may be fed to great advan¬
tage. In September and October sow
barley, soiling rye, stock orchard in grass spring. and clover for
to early October
sow oats; November sow wheat—soon
enough for middle Georgia. November
and December set out fruit trees and vines
and make preparations for gardening.
January and gaidcn and February sow spring oats
seeds. February and March
plant cane and Irish potatoes, and sow
orchard grass and clover. March and
April, bed yams, plant co n, Spairsli po¬
tatoes and ground peas; look well to the
garden. In April plant cotton and melons.
May, plant whip-poor-will or speckle peas
to themselves for pastuiage, or for turn¬
ing under; also g've close attention and .melons. to tuo
garden, to potatoes
May and June, plant and sow field peas
with the growing com.
At any time Horn the 1st of June to
15tli December, when tne land is in
proper condition and the time can be
spared, or hands hired for the purpose,
upon the land at first turn under vegeta¬
tion—weeds, grass, peavines, and clover—
green if possible, dry if necessary. under If
two crops can be turned within
the above stated time, so much the
better. Fill gnllies with pine brush, or
anything else convenient, that will break
the force of the water and accumulate
soil. Thresh wheat and other grain be¬
fore the straw is damaged, and winter at a rea¬
sonable expense, bouse it for for¬
age and tramping. In July, much valu¬
able hay may be saved from swamp and
other grasses. In August, a second crop
of Irish potatoes transplanted. may be planted and win¬ and
ter cabages September should
October cotton, corn, peas, etc,
be gathered without a days neglect after
tliey are matured. Excess of water
should be drained from all creek and
branch lands. The neglect to put these
rich, level plats into proper state of cul¬
tivation costs us much, For two or
three weeks preceding fed the killing, hogs is
should be well on corn or, what
better, meal. Previously, they fields, should ground be
grazed on stubble land, corn
peas and potatoes. Cattle, except cows
giving ini'k, may be wintered entirely on
cheap, rough food—straw, shucks, bran
and cotton seed. As a protection against
dogs, sheep should run with the cattle,
but each fed separately, as the rams in¬
variably acquire the habit of fighting and
annoying the cattle while feeding. Goats,
if sheltered in bad weather, will take
care cf .themselves with very HtOadMiB
everybody in the way who of food, lvas as had it is wel'^fl
them, that it is/their habit fcoj

corn may be saved by soiling mules and
other stock from the barley, rye and
clover patches, and feeding plenty of fod¬
der, hay, oats and bran.
The cheapest, and, as an exception to
the hand, general and rule, the best had guano is always
at may be at the expense
of only a hand, mule and a dump-cart.
This system, scientifically persued, cre¬
ates an attachment to the farm and home,
and the many little additions to fixtures,
ornaments, etc., engage and interest the
mind, and when possessing the confidence
and respect of neighbors, and emotions
of gratitude to God, no condition in life
can afford more real pleasure. With the
cotton planter, dependent on provisions
“on time,” just the reverse of this is
true; disappointed in business, and no
attractions at home, he neither enjoys
life nor benefits society. thought Other than for
present gain, lie takes no for his
farm, lie prizes the eggs wasted but neglects
the goose. Hence, his farm soon
tells a tale of eapitol lo-t, as well as time
and labor.
Nine years ago, planters of the southern
states almost came penniless. out of a sanguinary-war,
Their property, not
expended in meeting the inexorable de¬
ed mands of the bloody conflict, was wrest¬
from them at its close. Home and
lands only were left, and in numerous
sections even these were committed to
the devouring flames, and wrecked of
almost every element of their former
value or put in possession of others.
Scarcely had the clouds of war broken
and cleared away, before there was mani¬
fested throughout desire and the country a spirit of
intense eagerness for hasty
speculation—sharp, quick and reckless
adventures. The enhanced value of cot¬
ton arising from the scarcity of the arti¬
cle in market—there being but little pro¬
duced in the south, the great cotton le¬
gion of the globe, during the war—drew
attention, producers and gave promise could, of large
profits to who at an
early day, get enough of it into marker. the
To the unpardonable neglect of all
sustaining elements of farming, (planters
and recruits) each vicing with the other,
and each for himself, marshalled all their
resources, and strained their credit to the
utmost tension to produce the. coveted
staple. The inevitable lesult was, as
any one then with a little sober foresight
might have predicted, a rapid decline in
price aud a general scarcity of provisions.
And, even now, strange to say. after
these cotton planters have bankrupted
themselves in resources, and in many
instances in character, and w ould have a
famine in the land but for imported pro¬
visions, the accursed cotton mania still
exists, and so possessed are its frenzied
subjects that no amount of losses or argu¬
ments can break their spell. decline, Their crops
may fail, the price may the
amount of their indebtedness may accu¬
mulate: but with failing debts, crops, declining
prices, accumulating and bank¬
rupt fortunes and characters, they srill
“peg away,” determined to "light it out
on that line” or perish with their idol.
Money kings and provision dealers have
nose ringed a school (students of experi¬
ence institute) than whom no master ever
had more faithful slaves.
Is there no hope of emancipation from
farming: to producing instead of pure has
tbe cultivation of cotton. Let them
and success is ensured. Farming without
provision crops is like chewing without
the cud, like biting without teeth. If
one has debts to pay let him “pitch” his

By resting, manuring and diversifying
crops, the farm is improved and new
capital increasing is supplied from its constantly
value. By sowing the cereals,
grasses and clover, turning under green
crops of weeds, peavines and clover,

in cotton, there w ill be ample time to do

It is a fact, patent to the most casual
observer, that the embarrassment and
indebtedness in Georgia are greatest in
those sections of the state where cotton
has been cultivated to the exclusion and
displacement of provision crops. Ours
is a good cotton state, but it is also a
good gram and forage state. We enjoy
a blessing happy medium in soil ami climate—a
vouchsafed to comp ;;a lively
inhabitants of our globe. With our
soil and climate, we might have almost
anything produced north or south, cast
or west, and live in affluence and inde¬
pendence beyond a degree attained by
risk an y people in the world. What folly to
all upon a single crop, which fails in
yield or price at least once in every
three or four years, when our farms are
so well adapted to a system of farming
in which serious failures never occur.
Cotton planting, in extenso, is specu¬
lative and debasing—as ruinous to mind
and morals as to land and fortune.
Each year a’l is risked upon a single stake.
Kit wins, the money all goes out of the
s*ate; if it loses, the adventurer becomes
despondent and reckless. The god of
toe field of the harvest will blast with
His curse the efforts to prostitute His
bountiful gifts—the genial climate and
generous soil so prompt to the true hus¬
bandman— to such ignoble purpose.
Diversified farming is permanent, ele¬
vating, ennobling. In it estimates and
calculations may be made with some cer¬
tainty of being approximated and reaiiz
ed, and one feels a eonsciousness that his
calling is legitimate, sanctioned afike by
instinct, by reason and by Holy inspira¬
tion. Farming, to be enjoyed, must be
d : versified and adopted to a life-time—
business—pastime—the live and only vocation to
how die refining at. Mow pleasing to the
eye, to the nature, now
sublimely delightful the sight and con¬
templation of variegated fieid scenery,
of browsing herds and flocks, of ripen¬
ing grain gently swayed by early sum¬
mer’s gamboling breeze. What feelings
stir one’s emotional nature, and with
what swellings of gratitude he hums
some pleasant good old pastoral, surrounding so
and inspiring? His equipage
and liis garner, his platter and his larder,
all being supplied by his own skill, in¬
dustry and care. O, ye fated devotees
to cotton! “A joy so sweet you’ll never
meet in all your noon of fame.”
