EXTENSION OP M. AND B. B. E.
r
Thomnsvillo Enterprise: “Some
<f the papers are discussing the
I nratioo of extending the Macon &
I irupswick railroad from Macou to
Atlanta, so ns to connect with the
State road. A pretty good idia,
bat it rather strikes us that when
the bill to do Ibis thing cornea b -
fore the I>gislatnre the new consti
tution will kill H spoily. The Slate
owns railroads enough. Let every
thing else alone nnlil we are onl of
debt and no longer bore to pay from
$600,000 to $700,000 interest on the
same every year. There are enough
soft places to be filled now and we
do not care to soo any more
created.”
Hold, brother Hnnaell, you are
on tbe wrong truck. The papers
that are discussing this question re
alize, to its fnllest exteot, the great
necessity for the payment of this
debt, and to that end would recom
mend that this HUIe gap be built,
which will enhance tbe value ot file
preaest State Railroad properly ten
fold, and (bus increase I lie ability
of the Stale to pay said debt.

"The Staff of Lite on the Point of
Death.”
On this subject, Rev. G. A. Nun-
iudiy,of Romo Georgia, entertained
the recent Agricultuaal Convention
at Hawkinsviile. His proposition
was that there were not enough ce-
rer.ls raised to supply h > demand
of the world. If there was an en
tire failure of our crops for twelve
months, the race would perish of
starvation. The decline in the pro
duction of brcadstutls is apparent
to every intelligent mind. Ho
asserted that there is cotton enough
in existence to clothe and to meet
all the demands of the race for ten
years to come. His arguments
were close and pungent, and met
the approval of the audience. Ho
was peculiar in his denunciation of
“all cotton and no com" theory.
The physicians who composed
the board of experts that visited
the sections lately nlllictcd with the
yellow fever, predict that an epi
demic will reappear next summer,
unless Congress mukes provisions
for a rigid quarantine and takes
other steps to keep the fever frum
being imported.
They do pot believe there is any
danger of the disease originating in
this country, or that any of the
germs of lust summer’s epidemic
have survived.—Telegraph and

CONDITIONS FAVORING GROWTH.
'I bare claimed that many plants
of tropical and semi-tropical regions
may be* naturalized here, if care
fully end judiciunsly cultivated.
Some of these experiments may
prove failures; bnt it is wise to test
every valuable plant that grows in
tie neighborhood of tbe isothermal
line rouuing through Brunswick.
Now, tbe objection msy be raised
that even an appareut success would
not make it worth our while to at
tempt tbe cultivation of some of
these plants whose homes are far
away from our parallel of latitude:
A hard frost might in the space of a
few hoars put an end to the flour
ishing result of care end toil expen
ded through many months or evea
yesre.
Tbe answer is, first, that of coarse
cultivated plants require more pro
tection nnd aid from man then tbe
snm? plants growing where nature
put them. We must expect to shel
ter the less hardy at times. Eat,
then, we are fully repaid by tbe
workings of a remarkable law of na
ture, which assures a greater yield
for such pinuts.
It is n we’.l-calabliBhed fact in
Agricultural Science, that plants arc
most prolifio just where the stimu
lant of cold is serviceable to them,
without being inloiiso enough to
destroy or check theirgrowth. Let

says:

best in tbe latitndin of North Caro

The same rule bolds with regard
tocorn and wheat, the olive and the

they all yield most abundiiutly near

This accords with tho well-kDown
experience of those gardeners who
have the care of hothouse plants.
Their pruci.'co is to allow them at
certain times the stimulus of fresh
cold air, which proves us beneficial
to them ns bracing exercise is to
human beings, l’lant-lifo needs va

Then, too, look at tho case of tho
date-palms which mako life in the
oases of the Great Desert possible.
They are subject to a tremendous at
mospheric change every twenty four
hours. For, while, tho iutensest
heat of summer rousts the desert
during the day, the night brings
with it a really wintry cold. No
doubt, it is this very periodical
change which stimulates those
palmtrees to their wouderful growth
and feuuudity.
U is plain, then, that we need
not greatly fear for this valuable
tree our occasional spells of cold
weather, at least after it has attained
its mature growth. All that will be
uecessury will be to shelter it well
dariug the winter iu the earlier
stages of its growth. Sunshine,
moisture, and a sail well stored with
silica are its prime needs; and we
bare them all here. Let us there
fore try tbe datepalm, if we try no
other plant from the tropics. Tne
