Two-Thirds Crop of Cotton.
The city of Macon possesses one of the
most salient and advantageous locations,
considered from every point of view, to bo
found in the South. Just here is the
dividing line between the primary and
secondary geological formations. To the
north a billy region abounding in purling
streams and springs of the purest freestone
water, where wheat and all the cereals
flourish, and that crowning blessing of life,
good health, may be enjoyed. South of this
the famous black belt stretches forth, where
‘‘King Cottoii” rules supreme, and the
African element, numerically, predominates
largely. The former is emphatically a
WHITE MAN’S COUNTRY
n ow, and will remain so to the end of time.
In this favored climate all the productions
of the temperate zone may be successfully
grown, and the farmer, with the assistance
of his stalwart sons, is absolutely inde
pendent of negro labor. Grapes, peaches,
sugar cane, melons, sweet potatoes, tobacco
and the LeConte pear find their native
home in the genial soil. To assure success,
industry, proper fertilization and intelli
gent cultivation are all that is required.
The soil, when apparently exhausted by re
peated cropping year after year, if allowed
to rest, and protected from washing, recup
erates with wonderful rapidity, and with
ordinary attention will steadily improve.
The so called
BLACK BELT,
embracing all of Southwestern Georgia and
a large portion of Alabama, Mississippi and
Louisiana, is the home of the cotton plant,
and in Georgia, at least, so soft and genial
is the soil, that often as many as fifty acres
to the mule is successfully cultivated. Here,
too, vegetables, melons and truck farming
generally are found to be valuable addenda
to the revenue derived from the great
staple.
Both of these important sections pour their
rich products into Macon,w'hich of late years
lias liecoine a leading distributing point
for the trade of the State. Indeed, her
wholesale houses and enterprising commer
cial travelers knock at the very doors of
Atlanta, Augusta and Savannah, and com
pete with success for the business of those
places.
The growth of the city has been substan
tial, as w ell as rapid, and numerous manu
facturing industries, both small and great,
have been established, each contributing its
share to the general prosperity.
EDUCATIONAL.
The schools and colleges of Macon place
her deservedly in the front rank among the
educational centres of the South. Outside
of these which are all liberally endowed
ami generously supported, we find here a
system of free schools which cannot be sur
passed in any community. They have dis
armed opposition and are annually adding
to the list of matriculates, which include
the children of the best and most influential
citizens. Well may Macon be proud of her
public schools.
CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS.
These are numerous, representing alike
the State, county and city. Here w'e have
that admirable foundation, the Academy
for the Blind, presided over by Prof. W. D.
Williams, who has succeeded in making
skilled artisans, musical experts and useful
citizens of the unfortunate patients under
his tutelage; the famous Appleton Home,
the Orphan Asylum, recently destroyed by
tire, but replaced with a handsome brick
edifice, the Alexander High School, richly
endowed, and its 100 free scholarships
eagerly sought after, and last, but not least,
the
ROFF HOME,
just completed, and used by the city and
county as a poor house and hospital. This
model institution is deserving of more par
ticular notice. It is named in honor of the
donor of the site, Mr. Roft\ who in 1872
gave 42 acres of land, beautifully situated
in Vineville, to Bibb county, to be used as
a hospital, or home for the destitute.
Recently, by agreement with the County
Commissioners, the city has erected a clus
ter of eight commodious and handsome
cottages, all detached from each other, and
thoroughly ventilated, finished and fur
nished with special attention to the comfort
and convenience of the inmates. The pest
house, for patients afflicted with small-pox
and other contagious diseases, is placed at
the farthest end of the grounds, where there
can be no danger from contact or atmos
pheric influence. Mr. Harmon, the veteran
superintendent of the former County Hos
pital, is in charge, and it would be difficult
to find any one who could fill the situation
as acceptably and faithfully to
the authorities and the poor
sufferers themselves. All the bed
rooms, halls and dining apartments
are kept scrupulously clean and neat, and
the table fare of the patients is abundant,
nutritious and well cooked. The dispen
sary, kitchen, pantry, bath rooms, offices
anil residence of the Superintendent are all
deftly arranged and equipped with every
needed convenience. In short, this city and
county hospitui and poor house is a blessing
to the community, and almost faultless in
every respect. The average number of the
inmates and patients is about DO.
THE STATE FAIR
looms up with far greater significance and
promise than any previous annual exhibit
of the Georgia Agricultural Society ever
presented to the public.
President Northen, himself a model
farmer and stock raiser, is devoting every
energy to the enterprise, and when the
park gates are opened there will be seen an
unprecedented array of the products and
uustries of Georgia, illustrating, as never
tas ueen uone before, the varied resources
1 f the Empire State of the South in the
'-'•ld, garden, orchard, factory,
•'-iry, fine arts, machinery and
iventive genius of her people. Choice
flooded stock, representing the best strains
‘ f horses, cattle, swine, sheen and poultry
will bo on hand by the hundred, and such a
cornucopia of good things as were never
gathered together in our Southland will
greet the fading vision of the beloved, erst
while President of the Southern Confed
eracy, and the host of reverential comrades
and visitors who will joyfully come forth to
greet him, on what will doubtless bo his last
appearance in public.
Mr. Northen is also ably assisted by Supt.
Robert Nisbet, Secretary Green, the Execu
tive Committee and the Macon Hoard of
Trade. It cannot be disguised also, that the
rivalry caused by the Piedmont Exhibition
has given an extraordinary irnjietus to our
State Fair. Macon does not intend to be
outdone by Atlanta, and the result will
lie two of the grandest exhibition* of
modern times in the single State of Georgia,
each unique in itself and challenging the
admiration of the whole Union. This gen
erous rivalry but serves to develop more ex
haustively the resources of our beloved
commonwealth, and will result in great
g°od to every branch of industry. Success
say we to both the Piedmont auu State ag
ricultural fail's.
THE CHOPS.
Personal observation and the unanimous
toport of every plantation in Middle and
Southwestern Georgia that wo have seen,
but serves to place beyond a peradventure
tliut the cotton crop of Georgia will bo less
than two-thirds. 801 l worms, rust, cater
pillar, drought, and on the bottom lands the
lreshets,have effectually dispelled the bright
prospects of the farmer, so exultantly
heralded some woks ago. Now, from a
half to two-thirds of an average crop is all
that the most sanguine expect. Prices, too,
continue to rule low all the same, and the
outlook is not promising.
Of com, however, there will be an abund
ant yield, but potatoes, sugar corn and peas
are cut short. Still there will lie bread
enough and to spare in the laud, for which
let us devoutly return thanks. It might
have been much worse. H. H. J.
SITTING ROOM AN D_ SIDE WALK.*
The Married Belles Throw the Young
Buds in the Shade.
New York, Oct. B.—“Do you know there
wasn’t a single notable dance led by a girl
in her first season in New York last win
ter?”
The speaker was a “bud" who will make
her debut in that small but much talked of
circle that calls itself New York society
when the cold weather has driven the last
summer wanderers back from their country
houses to the pavements again.
“New York is a bad place for a debutante
now; the married belles carry off all the
honors. That is why so many of the young
girls go abroad and stay till they are old
enough to win some attention here. There
isn’t one of them who stands the ghost of a
chance against Mrs. Coleman Drayton’s
gowns. There’s Mi’s. Goelet, Mrs. Ogden
Mills, Jr., Mrs. Frederick Jones, and two or
three dozen more. An 18-year-old is nowhere
when they are about. Mi's. "Willie Astor
leads the dances; if she doesn’t Mrs. Burke
Rocho does. There might as well lie no
charity balls, no Patriarchs no Junior
Patriarchs for that, matter, so far rs the
younger fry are concerned, and as for the
private entertainments it’s much the same
thing there. The “buds” take what part
ners are left when the young married
women have had their choice.”
It is certainly true that to be too young is
out of style in the metropolis: (Sirls are
not the fashion any more. The married
belles dance just as well, dress more richly,
and talk better; it dosn’t compromise the
well-dressed young man from the bachelor
apartment which ne is in no haste to desert
for Benedicts’ quarters to dance attendance
upon them, and take it all in all, now is the
married belle’s reign. The popular unmar
ried women who quoen it in the ball rooms
are, like Miss Adelo Grant and Miss Wins
low, of more than one season’s standing.
The debutantes —with tho exception of a
younger Miss Chamberlain, Miss Wood
worth and Miss Agnes Lawrence there wont
be a large number of them this winter—are
eagerly heralded; the society world is
anxious to see them, families clamor for the
privilege of chaperoning them, but after all
they are likely to enjoy their second and
third seasons better, and to get more
desirable partners than in their first.
FASHIONS IN DANCES.
“Fashions in dances change about once in
three years.”
This statement, coming from one of the
oldest and best known dancing masters in
the country, carried with it a certain weight
of authority.
“Changes in dances and in dancing are all
a matter of fashion, of course. Americans
demand novelty in everything. It takes a
certain length of time to introduce anew
dance, though, and hence the cycle is, as I
gave it to you, about three years. The first
year I call preparation; that is while people
are finding out tho existence of the dance
and learning to perform it. The second
year is execution; that is while it is popular
and all the dance programmes include it.
The third year is decadence; that is the last
of it. You no sooner get a good dance than
you throw it away again.”
“And what is the place of the coming
season in your cycle?’
“It is about the second year. This is going
to be a dancing winter.” Everybody will
dance and it will be the best year in a long
time to really get new dances put upon the
floor.”
“What are some of the new dances going
to be ?’
“Well, the idea of having eight couples in
a set instead of four is going to take mght
ily, to all appearance, and people are going
to dance in octagons instead of squares. The
first dance of this sort the original “Octa
fon,” is very pretty and very intricate.
'he eight couples required to form it are
divided into side couples and corner couples
and they face one another, so as to make an
octagonal figure. It is made up of five
numbers, each having several figures, and is
a very artistic dance with graceful courtesy
mg, gliding and saluting. The Octagon is
full of passing under arches of arms and
forming diagonal and parallel lines. It has
novel steps in it, too, and dancers take to it
because Americans hate to stand still and it
keeps all eight couples in motion at once.”
The Octagon, so the Professor of the
Terpsiohorean art went on to inform me,
will relievo the strain on the intellects of the
couples who load the german this winter,
supplying an amount of variety that will do
away with any call for improvisations ex
cept where original genius comes bubbling
up of its owu accord and is not forced. The
most intricate new dance that most trippers
of the light fantastic will bo introduced to
this winter is a revival of the stately old
court dances, and is dubbed the Mistletoe
Minuet. It is a complex dance, difficult
to master, amusingly solemn and very
picturesque. Only devotees will learn it, but
it is a very graceful dance, and like the
Octagon, will go well in the german. Both
these dances take a large space to do them
in properly, and it is hinted that there will
be some elaborate costuming at a carnival
or two on whose list they are already set
down. There are only two new round
dances that one will hear much of this
winter, the Columbia and the American
gavotte, stirring, animated things both that
will add to the life of the ball room.
Standard time for dancing is one of the
things to be insisted on this winter. “Faster,
that’s too slow for us, we can’t dance to that
time,” is the usual appeal to the leader of
tho orchestra or the musicians. “Can’t help
it, standard time, we play by the metro
nome,” will be the inexorable reply when
the instruments tune up next. Waltz, 3-4
time, 65 measures, 192 beats to the minute;
polka, 2-4 time, 58 measures, 11(1 beats;
schottisehe, 4-4 time, 3*5 measures, 144 beats;
galop, 2-4 time, 72 measures, 144 beats;
ntazourka, 3-4 time, 48 measures, 144 beats;
quadrille and landers, *l-8 time, 58 measures,
11(1 beats; such is the latest decree of fate,
that is if that light-footed body, the Ameri
can Society of Professors of Dancing, and
they have nearly all the musicians in the
country bound fast in their league. They
have decided it, they tell you how you
should dance and they know all about it.
To do the gyrating professors justice they
have reduced dancing to a science in this
country. The same dance means the same
thing everywhere, is danced in tho same
way and to the same time with a precision
that is every season increasing.
“Americans are tho best dancers in the
world."
The sentence sounded positive. “How
about the German waltzing and French
dancers?’ I ventured to inquire.
“Over there they are not progressive.
They never change. They dance now just
as they danced forty years ago. In Paris
and in London, too, tho (lancing is what we
should call primitive. In their square dune *s
only one couple move at a time. It is first
lady and opposite gentle man, forward and
back, cross over and so on through all tho
evolutions, the rest of tho set waiting for
their turn. We did away with that ten
years ago and the whole set dance at once.
Our dancing is more of a study than theirs.”
“With all your new thiugs you have not
superseded the waltz.”
“Nor are ever likely to, but all our
dances change. Thirty or forty years ago
a lady danced well or ill according to the
number of steps, difficult steps, too, that
she could take in a figure. Then the steps
were dropped and every body walked through
the figures. Now people are introducing
stops again, a whole S“t taking the same
ones as they all move together in the same
direction. There iH the waltz. People who
learned i, ten years ago can’t dance it now.
The new waltz is a combination of waltz
and redowu, very delightful but very differ
ent. Where has the polka gone* It has
disappeared except in *'■ german. 1 lie

dance. Society wants to be tickled with
new dances as with new playthings. It
throws them away very soon, but it dances
them well while it dances them at all.”
THE WINTER CLOAK
stands upon its dignity. It is a stately sort
of garment to which low bows are in order,
and in whose presence a nice regard for the
proprieties of life, a pnuctilious decorum,
suggests itself as the only behavior allow
able. It is a long cloak covering the figure
from head to foot; it is a costly cloak, never
dropping in price below the hundreds; it ir.
an awe-inspiring cloak with its air of
warmth and luxury and carriago cushions
and full pocketbooks. The city is prosperous
and everything goes well when such a cloak
is not the occasional, but the constant ap
parition.
The winter cloak is a rich almost a regal,
silk plush, that avoids, as if it were con
tamination, the look of a seal plush. It is
black, it fits the figum behind with long,
simple draperies adjusted over the bustle.
It is perhaps lialf fitting, perhaps loose in
front, and it has a broad edge of long bears’
fur compassing it everywhere about.
It doesn’t condescend to jet or beads. Its
hobby, its one delight is braid, Sometimes
it has a network of intricately woven silken
cords laid over it simulating the short wrap
whose place the cloak has usurped. Some
times it has a cape or a visite form upon its
shoulders concocted of this same rich,
delicate silk braid. Sometimes it contents
itself simply with a braided vest, and nearly
always it has panel draperies of elaborately
wrought braid work. Tho eloak in fact
aspires to be a lavishly rich outer gown of
plush for street or carriage with gown shape,
gown draperies, gown panel trimmings, anu
. o complete the illusion a semblance of a
coquettish short wrap adjusted above all.
The cloak is a work of genius, but it takes
money to buy it.
The fall color, almost as general as helio
trope was last spring, is copper. The femin
ine world is copper-colored on all occasions.

PETITE WOMEN THE FASHION.
The Big Ones Going Out of Fashion.
New York, Oct. B.—Now that plaids and
crossbars are seen in all the new materials,
it may not be out of place to designate how
and by whom these patterns should be worn.
We all know—even those among us who
have not studied the laws of proportion and
effect—that large designs of any sort make
a cost unis very trying to the wearer. Un
fortunately for the manufacturers of “high
class novelties," the days when giants
stalked over the earth are no more; for, in
deed, giants are required if these immense
bars and stripes and arabesques are to be
really worn. A recent work on physical
beauty asserts that the tendency in women
of the present day is toward smallness of
stature. Big women, in fact are going out
of fashion. This being the case, by all
means let us have materials that present
designs suitably adapted to the human
figure as it actually exists and not as it may
appear in tho imaginations of manufactur
ers. Plaids of any description make a
woman look shorter than she actually is, in
the same manner that stripes, when they are
narrow and elongated, produce an appear
ance of slenderness. A skirt made in imita
tion of a colossal chessboard of variegated
hues cannot be either pretty or graceful. A
very tall woman or one slightly above
medium height can wear a plaid of moder
ately large checks, but if she lie short or
dumpy, or even tall and fat, let her eschew
such patterns as the abomination of desola
tion. Nevertheless, soon our streets will
doubtless be filled with perambulating
checker boards and striped awnings; tor, of
course, fashions are invented to be worn,
and consequently women will adopt them
whether they are suitable or not. If the
designs themselves are ugly and out of place,
however, a word must be said in favor of
the colors that are rich and striking.
Neutral tints, so trying to most women,
have given way to"warm shades that are
distinctly beautiful and becoming.

THE ANARCHISTS’ WIVES.
Women Who Threaten to Follow Their
Husbands to Death.
From the Few York Star.
A reporter has elicited from Mrs. Black
the statement that if the Chicago Anarchists
are hanged their wives will kill their chil
dren and then commit suicide. Mrs. Black
then proceeded to explain what a loss such a
slaughter would be the community.
Mrs. Spies, “a colorless, dimpled, statu
esque beauty, with deep-set dark blue eyes,”
should die first, if appearances go for much,
but as she is childless she has little to give to
the good cause.
Mrs. Lucy Parsons, “who is very grace
ful in her movements, has the hand and
complexion of a quadroon and is coura
geous, eloquent and an affectionate mother,”
has two attractive children to immolate.
Mrs. Engel, “a quiet, unobtrusive little
woman of 55, who is fond of home and sim
plicity,” has the hardest duty of all to per
form, as her six children are all grown, and
will decidedly object to being sacrificed.
Mrs. Fischer, “only 19, is a lovely bru
nette, with melting "black eyes,” but has
three little ones ready to be murdered.
Mrs. Schwab, “who used to carry the red
flag in the processions,” is childless and
must befeontent to die alone.
Mrs. Fielden “isn’t a bit pretty, but has a
very pathetic appearance,” and can con
tribute a number of infants to the holo
caust.
Mrs. Oscar Neebe is already dead. Lingg
is unmarried, and it is not supposed that
the “beautiful and wealthy young girl in
love with him” will feel called upon to kill
herself.
Mrs. Black is the wife of the lawyer who
has worked so hai-d to save the necks of
the Anarchists. She does not state what
her own programme will be, if her bus
band’s efforts fail, but if she receives one
tithe of her deserts she should at least !h>
tongue-tied for the rest of her natural life.
It is a terrible vengeance that the law is
about to take. The sense of the community,
though deeply impressed by the solemnity
of tho doom that awaits seven human ticings,
is thoroughly imbued with the justice of the
sentence. \Ve are in no mood to listen to
the ribald threats and idle prattle of a fool
ish woman.
Had Mm. Black a particle of that pro
found sympathy and compassion which she
professes for the families of the condemned,
she would find her true mission in pre
paring them for the awful ordeal that
awaits them, instead of trying to incite
them to still wilder and more horrible acts
of revenge.
A DIVER'S AWFUL EXPERIENCE.
Pinned to the Bottom By a Rock That
Had Fallen on His Leg.
From the Washington Star.
A telegram from Portland, Me., Oct. 4,
says: “Gardiner Floyd, a well known divor
of this city, had an awful experience many
feet uuder water at Mattawamkeng, a few
days ago. He was at work on a foundation
for a coffer dam at the site of a pier for a
now bridge for the Canadian Pacific rail
road. He had put a chain around a big
rock and given the signal to hoist it, when a
large piece of the rock broke off. It fell
upon the (liver, knocked him down and
pinned one leg and foot to the bottom. His
crowbar was just beyond hi* reach, and lie
feared every moment tliat his air supply
would give out. Tho bottom was of mud
and gravel, and rather soft. Mr. Floyd set
to work to dig himself free with his hands.
As fast a* lie undermined the rock he
propped it with small stones. He dug away
for dear life for just half on hour before he
succeeded In getting his leg free. His air
hose was resting on two points of a lodge,
but by careful handling ho got it straight
ened out and gave the signal to hoist. He
was completely exhausted when he reached
the surface. His foot and leg were badly
bruised, but no bones were broken.

tisement for Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy.
