the view of giving the country an ad

principles, and he thinks he has suc

Mr. Cleveland talked quite freely
about the leading features of his ad

defeat to other causes.

THE CORRUPTION IN INDIANA.
Seventy indictments, he was told,
had been found in Indiana for bribery,
nme-tentha of these indicted biing
publicans, but no Senator had risen
and asked for an investigation there.
Who, he asked, would charge the good
people of IndiaDa ou that account?
Who would charge the good people of
the state of New York, where millions
were paid out iu bribes on the last
Presidertial election? Who would
charge the good people of Rhode Island,
where current newspaper report said
that bribeiy prevailed to a great extent
the last election? Who would charge
the good people of any of those states
with complicity iu those crimes? And
why should the people of Texas and of
the whole South be held responsible
for the single abuse in one single coun-
ty?
NO BRIBERY IN THE SOUTH.
There were no ‘’White Caps”
Texas. There was no case of bribery
reported from the South. In the South
there was more 3muscle than money,
and there was no bribery; while In the
North there was more money than
muscle, and there was no violenc-.
there. It was force in the South
was fraud and bribery in the North.
But bribery was exceptional ii
North; and force was exceptional in
the South. Of the two crimes bribery

COST OF COTTON.
—
How Cotton Planters Lose
Money.
Farmers, planters and fellow-citizens
lend us your cars. The Clarion comes
to help the farmers, not to flatter
theta. You are thinking about pitch
ing a crop. Let us think a moment.
If you know that there are ten chances
to one against your making any money
by a crop, why plant it?
We eabmit the following estimate of
the cost of cotton growing. It is cor
rect and certainly win induce some
farmer to stop and think. On most of
our land which has been helped by
stable manure or cawptnuing, with
.two hundred pounds of guano and
carcfal^cultuie, you may safely count
m t bale of cotton,
This bale is worth $42 00. Now
-he former wants the profits. The
tiiftzicz.cz between market value and
expanses is all that the fanner makes.
Now let us see the cast. The rows
will be four feet or mare apart.- This
lessens the expense of planting and
hoeing.

How St. Valentine’s Day Was j ournaI of Co ramcrce . beiwrw ltm
Celebrated There.
Milledgeville, Ga., Feb. 16.—
Every year, either during the Christ
mas holidays or some other festive
season, the authorities of the asylum
give the patients a grand annual
masquerade, fancy dress or phantom
party, and yesterday being St. Valen
tine's day, they gave them a fancy
dress ball in the large dance hall of
the asylum. There were fully xoo
patients in costume, some dressed
fancifully and others ludicrous in the
extreme, ihongh but few represented
any particular character. One of the
most striking characters represented
(among the males) was Ben Butler,
whose dress was mostly composed of
United States flags, with a tall plume
in his hat, a small flag for a necktie,
and upon bis breast a large spoon,
worn as a badge.
Among the female participants,

treme north, one from the extreme
south and one from middle ground,

r. Geo. R. McRee, Valdosta, Ga.:
Dear Sir:—[Supply of Ventilated
Cars.]-Noting your esteemed favor of
the 22cd, uit., I ctn only say that we
are straining every . nerve, and going
deeply in debt to increase our supply
of ventilated carB, by building 600 or
700 at once, which we hope to have
ready for this season’s business. This
will be an increase on the supply of
cars that we got from the western
roads, and which we suppose will be
at least equal to former years. In this
particular, I would suggest that it is
entirely right and proper that the west-
ean roads should supply a considerable
portion of theie cars, as they get a very
large proportion of the haul on tho
freight, and it is customary and just
that all the companies participating in
the haul should furnish their proper
quoto of cars, and which the committee
ou resolutions seem not to have under
stood.
To expect this company to furnish
the total supply, would scarcely be
just, particularly when measures are
taken by threatened legislative enact
ments which destroy our ability to raise
funds to provide the necessary means
of transportation.
Had oor financial negotiations not
been destroyed by threatening legisla
tion, we would have had the cash to
have bought at least double the
number which we can now, under
great stress, procure. As the railroads
havo practically built up the industry,
by lending its facilities, without which
it could never have existed, it is idle to
suppose that they are not alive to the
requirements of the traffic, and anxious
to avail themselves of the mutuality of
interests, which exists between the pro
ducer and shipper. Tbe fact that un
less we cirry successfully, our supply
of freight will bo cut off, is in itself
common-sense answer to all the charges
of bting careless of the interests of this
valuable industry; and the fact that we
are at present, by reason of causes be-
* re r.aroed, unable to fill the require
ments of the grower, as we wish to do,

Their extremely diverse nativities

It was a delightful occasion, to
which the asylum inmates had been
looking torward with many pleasant
anticipations.
Five sets of quadrilles were danced
at one time in the immense hall-
The terpstchorean festivities were
kept up until iop. ra., at which rea
son able hour they dispersed to their
respective wards much pleased and
benefitted by the recreation.
The party was such a source of
pleasure that to gratify those who en
joyed it so much the officers have
determined to have it over again at
another day.
f; The feeling is undoubtedly grow
ing that tlje time has come when a
wise policy demands that the unre
strained flow of the foreign stream of
; immigration into this country be
?' checked. Its volume may perhaps
be' better realized when it is stated
that the immigration of 1880 was
equal to the population of the state
ot Nebraska in that year. In 18S1
the number of immigrants exceeded
the population of the state of Maineg
In 1882 the number was greater
than the population of the state of
Minnesota. In 1883 kwas equal to
► . the combined population ot the
state s, New Hampshire and Vermont.
In 1884 it was greater than the ag
gregate population of Delaware and
Rhode Island. In 1885 it was equal
to the number ot people in Florida
and Utah. In xSS6 it amounted to
the population of the state of Colora
do hnd that of the territory of Da
kota taken together. In 1887 the
immigrants outnumbered the cora-
* bined people of Nevada and Oregon
. and Washington Wyoming and
New Mexico territories.—Telegraph.
There is no danger of getting too
many of the right kind of immigrants.
It is the paupers, communists and
gj revolutionists which should be looked
’ 'after. We want none of these.
' ■ 'A farmer in Wilson oounty, Texas,

THF. LYNCHING OF NEGROES.
A* to the haouioj* of three negr'-s
«t Brenharu, Mr Coke declared it to
have bepn the work of an irrosp.mtiMe
ui t j, and that the attempt to fasten 00
tbe people the responsibility for it on
tbe testimony of three nji-creant.**,
an injustice to the senators who signed
the report. As to the murder of Jo<
Hoffman, he stated it was his belief
that the shot which killed him wat
find at him, but at Holt, who sat
him, who was an active and aggre:
democrat; aod who had been in a r
ber of personal difficulties ii which
men were killed.
As to the race question, it could
not be regulated by statute. Those
who established the goverment,
while they threw wide open the doors
of immigration, acted on the the
ory that no race of people could
come to this country and dominate
the Anglo^axon race. The right of
local self-government was invoilable.
LEr THE NEGROES KEEP THE BALLOT.
The black man had the ballot, and
he would not wish to deprive them
ot it, because it was their shield of
defense. But . the people of the
South should be let alone, and when
such men as Hack worth and Scheutze
were spewed they should not be put
back upon the people. If he had to
say how the race question was to be
settled, he would repeat what the sen
ator from Ohio (Sherman) was repre
seated in newspapers a tew days ago
to have said, and that was to let the
people of each state attend to the
race question themselves. If that
was not Sherman’s opinion it va
(Coke’s).
LET THE SOUTH ALONE.
If the people of the South were let
alone, if no aid and comfort were
given to the agitators who disturbed
the public peace in that section, the
race question would be settled quick
er than was supposed. The negroes
would divide in politics and would
not be solid The whites would do
the same and peace and prosperity
would come in that way.

He Took the Hog.
An dd farmer, who is a neighbor >f
ours, had hi* smoke-house robbed reg
ularly every wioter, and though he
suspected a colored man who lives
near, he could never fasten the theft
upon him. Well, last fall, when he
was butchering his hogs, be called in
thi-j old darky to assist Tom—that
was the colored suspect’s name—helped
to kitl antf dress a score of hogs, and
then the old farmer said to him: ‘‘Now,
Tom, you can take one of these hogi
home with you, on condition that you
won’t steal any of my meat this win
ter.” Tom looked pleased at first, but
as the condition was laid down, an ex
pression of perplexity stole over hia
face. Ho seemed to be figuring out a
hard problem. At last he Eaid, slowly:
“Well, Mass’r, I knows I’ae losin’ a
pow’ful lot of pork, but I gue«3 I’ll
take the hog and call it equar’.” Tom
stuck to his compact, and tho smoke
house was not robbed that year.—

A Knife With a History.
There is a gentleman living in this
city who has in hi3 possession a knife
once owned by Jim Bowie, which was
given to him by Juan Padillo, a man
who left the Lafitte baud of pirates to
follow the fortunes of Bowie, and who
is still living. The knife is of temper
ed steel, the blade sixteen inches long,
with a steel guard and bnckhorn han
dle. The handle is dressed smooth
where the hand clasps it. and one side
silver plate, one and one-half inches
long, set into the handle, on which is
scratched in rude characters, “Jim
Bowie.” On the ateel guard of the
knife, on the upper side, two notches
have been cut with a file, which old
Jnan Padillo said were cut to mark the
number of men Bowio had killed with
the knife. On the lower side oi the
guard are three notches, which are said
to mark the number of Indians scalped
with the tame knife. The knife was
given by Bowls to Padillo when he was
a resident ot St. Angwstine, Tex^ and
200 pounds guano
Total $16.75
This, on two acres, comes to $33,50.
Taken from $42.00 and there is left a
profit of $8.00, on two acres. Now
count the expense for three acres to
the bale. This equals $50 25. Here
the farmer loses $8.85. Now what
shall we do? Why just open our eyes
and quit planting thin land in cotton.
It is folly; it is suicide.
Cotton on thin lands, is much more
liable to disaster. Our manured or
built up l&Dds arc almost totally e
empt from rust, our greatest scour;
We must do like farmers everywhere
elee in the world except in the South
We must go to work and build up our
land before .exacting a money crop

There is money in cotton. Ther<

lands not adapted to it. Our farmer*
make money on thtir best lands every
year, but they lose it iu cultivating
poorer land. Tho work actually done
pays a handsome profit. But the trouble
is, our farmers have not yet learned
how to moke any work pay on the

50 yards from the river, her body
dragged and thrown in. The blood’
work was done with a repeating Win
Chester rifle, as was evident from the
exploded shells found where the as

such a gun sometime before, and de
clared his intention to kill Jackson.

The following beautiful and vigorous
thoughts are selected from an editorial
in the Church Year, of the 6:h if*;

A big Plantation.
There is a growing disposition
among the fanners of the South to do
away with big plantations and inaugu
rate a new system of farming. The
past experience of the farmers show
that, as a rule, big farms do not pay.
Many of our weekly exchanges are dis
cussing this question and most of them
take the position that it is essential to
the prosperity of the farmers that the
large plantation should be divided into
smaller ones. The Qmngton Star
takes this view of the subject:
The big Georgia plantation must
go, and the thrifty little two-mule farm
is the one to take its plaoe.
“Georgia is an agriculture State, but
she cannot raise corn for the market,
in competition with the fertile soil cf
the west. But Georgia can and mus 1
aise corn enough for her own con-
umption, or her farmers will soon all
be bound up under the unrelenting
mortgage aa they are in Michigi
The big farm will not pay in Geor
gia, but the small one will. The two-
mule farm is the one for this section
The expense is cot so great, and the
lands can be enriched more easily.’
A thorough discussion of this sub
ject can do no harm and may result in
much good to tho farmers. A great
variety of crops and more skilled meth
ods of cultivation would certainly place
th: farmers in a more independent po
sition and eventually rc-sult iu the abol
ishment of the credit syetem, which
now imposes such a heavy tax upon the
farmers.—Enquirer Sun.
Give us Small Industries.
Georgia sends annually to New Eng
land thousands of dollars for shoe*.
In tho present day of progress and
home enterprises, it docs appear 'that
this money could be kept at home just
as well as not.
Perhaps it b becausa our peopl
wont to consider the big industries,
the lolling mills, the foundries, tbe
furnaces, that they have paid so little
attention to the small manufacturing
enterprises that make articles fer direct
home consumption and spend all their
earnings at home.
But the times are changing, and the
people waking up to the fact that in
the small industries He the bone and
sinew of a town’s prosperity.
They can be started on a small cap
ital, employ each a large cumber of
skilled workmeo, and add life and vim
to a city.
Let us eonsider the small industries,
the shoe factories, the canning factories,
the mattress work?, aad other enter
prises that will turn out goods for home
consumption, and keep thcuutnds of
dollars at heme annually.
Rome is to hive a shoe factory which
will begin operations with a force of
twenty-five skilled workmen. Gaines-
viHe has her shoe factories which are
proving a successful experiment. Now
why should any resident of Georgia

the time is coming when alumnium
will take the place cf iron and some
other metals almost entirely.' He
thinks that the discovery of a metal
in’erhtch the most abundant of met
als can be cheaply separated from
the combinations m which it is found
cannot be long delayed, and then
every dayback will be an inexhaust-
table mine. Of the changes which
would be brought about he says:
‘‘Fancy hotses bulit of alumnium
instead of iron. The weight of the
new metal is only a third as much as
iron, with equal cr greater tensile
strength. The girders and the plates
could be cast and readily handled in
sizes far larger than those to which
architectural iron is now confined.
Perhrps whole fronts of modem
sized houses could be moulded in a
siogle piece. This would greatly fa
cilitate building operations which arc
now so slow’.
“Alumnium is as fire proof as iron
The larger the plates of metal com
posing the side of the house the less
liable they are to be warped and
curled by intense heat. A building
with alumnium walls, such as we
have described, would survive a
great conflagration in which iron
structures of existing patterns would
wither and mumble to the ground.
As Alumnium never rusts, a house
constructed of it would alsvay
hibit a silvery, glistening surface. It
would require no cleaning, except as
smoke or dust would gradually dim
its native beauty- A sponge and
water would bring all that back.
Whenever Alumnium is cheap
enough for house buiding, steam
ships will be made of it. This will
be a revolution in ocean commerce.
Hulls of alumnium ships will weigh
only a third as much as iron ones of
^equal tonnage. They will be^ as
strong and secure against damage
from collision as iron vessels now
aie. Their far greater buoyancy will
be to that extent an increase in safe-
&-
“Passenger cars made of alumnium
in light and graceful patterns—includ
ing wheels ot the same metal—need
weigh no more than wooden cars of
our day, and they would be incom
bustible and would not be readily
crumpled up or smashed into splin
ters by collisions. The peril of rail
way travelling in the age of alum-
niura will be much less than now.
The ductility of alumnium will
render it the best of all possible ma
terials for bridges. The weight of
ire ropes, its also of the bridj
itself, for a given span, being b
one-third that of iron, engineers w
periorm feats of bridge buiding nc
wholly beyond their powers T1
age of alumnium will be the age of
bridges.
“The small weight of an alumniu
engine driven by compressscd air, gas
or electricity, compared with its iron
equivolent, undoubtedly makes the
ultimate success of air ships more
probable than before.

A Historic Church.
One hundred and thirty-seven ye:
ago Midway Church was founded
Liberty county, Georgia. For more
than a century it was the source of
an influence which was felt far from
its site, and its history is interwove
with that of the state itself. In 18:
its centennial was celebrated wi
imprtssive ceremonies, in which
great number of people participated.
During tbe war the venerable struc
turp was desecrated by the invading
army; its corner-stone was wrenched
from its place and brokcu open
search of hidden treasure. For st
eral years past the anniversary of
Midway Church has been celebrated
by a society formed to prescr
traditions and to keep up the tune-
honored institution.
The occasion of the next anniver
sary will be the 13th of March, and
on that day the corne
