VOL. I he bonded debt of Atlanta is $‘2,200,016, yet the city is rapidly in¬ creasing in population and the tax fayer.s are growing rich.

The effect of this bill, had it become a law, would have been to st ifle intellectual progress, and place the heel of a re¬ morseless monopoly on the neck of every man, woman and child in the state. **#* //on. II. S. West has introduced a bill into the legislature to incorporate the town of Demorest; a clause of the hill provides that women shall he eligible to vote and hold office.

By this process it is believed the cost of steel rails,posts and beams may be reduced $10 a ton, and thin iron plates for tinning can he made much below the cost of the produc¬ tion of tin plates in Wales; this will make a new industry in this country and revolutionize the iron, steel and tin industries of the world **** Civil Service Commissioner Roos* veil says charges have been brought against the pension office, that men have been turned out because they were democrats, and he thinks that is a violation of law. If discharging men from office because they are dein ocrats is a > iolation of law, wo are curious to know if President Harrison is not guilty of violating this law, and if so, what peiiatty he is liable to. **** Mr. H. T. Jaynes, one of the staff of the Ke nvoe Courier, published at Walhalla, favored the News office with a call on Friday. The Courier is one of our most valued exchanges; in point of editorial ability it is scarce ly surpassed by any weekly paper published in South Carolina. Mr. Jaynes is an attorney at law, and is one of the rising young men of whom our sister state may well be proud. ***** Col. John P. Fort does not agree with all the Alliance men in all par- ticulars. lie ii not in favor of cotton wrapping for cotton bales. It is an extra cost of from 75 cents to $1 per bale which goes into the pockets of the manufacturer, for which the plan- ter gets nothing. He thinks the cot- ton bagging taken from the bales will be used to make cheap fabrics just the same as if it had not been used for bagging, and thus in reality there will not l»c an increase of consump- tioff of cotton so ’as to enhance price. Col. Fort is one of the most extensive and progressive farmers Georgia; few men bave*done more,or paid out more money to advance the farming interests in tbe state, and when he talks his words are worth listening to. It is easy for his county Alliance to pass resolutions, but whether they or he is right , time only can tell. **** Mr. Grady’s visit to Elbert oh and Andersonville was a grand ovation. Many thousands of people came in from the county in all directions, and were wrought up to the very climax of enthusiasm by his glowing elo¬ quence. According to the reporter of the Constitution: “Cheer after cheer went up from the thousands of throats of the vast audience, and the very woods rang with the echo, and threw it across the broad and placid Savannah river, to be taken up and re-echoed by the noble and stately pines on the high and picturssque bluffs of the Georgia side.” Just think of the eloquence that stirs up, not only human beings, but rouses the wiid woods, stately pines and picturesque bluffs to actually toss the echo backward and forward across the placid Savannah! How the river AMD PIEDMONT INDUSTRIAL JOURNAL. could remain placid when everything else, animate and inanimate was wild with excitement,is more than we can understand. Everybody knows Mr. Grady is a great orator, but he and the public ought to have been spared the gush in the columns of the Con¬ stitution that marred the otherwise interesting description of his journey. [Sj»ecial Correspondence of The News j FR< )M CLARKSVILLE. On last Saturday, in the grove at Bethlehem Church, near Clarksville lion. Ben Terrell of Texas, National Lecturer of the Farmer’s Alliance,ad¬ dressed an audience of twelve or fifteen hundred persons, composed of farmers from ail parts of Habersham, with their wives and children, sisters and sweethearts. He gave us a sensible,practical talk, full of good advice, and timely sug¬ gestions,* varied with amusing anec¬ dotes. lie urged upon the farmers the ne¬ cessity of harmony and organization among themselves; and showed what a mighty power they might become in the land, if they would pull to- getber. He pointed out the fact that the farmers of Georgia are constantly growing poorer and all other classes wealthier. This he ascribed, in n great degree, to the credit system,and told them to pay what they owed,and go in debt no more, even if they had to live on corn bread, and patch their clothes till they resembled Joseph’s coat of historical fame. lie was listened to throughout with the closest attention by his large audience. The quiet and good order observed were remarkable, and all who heard the speech join in pronoun¬ cing it a most excellent one. At the conclusion of the speech, a basket dinner was served, and after this the Alliance held a private meet- ing the church, where we had the p i easure 0 f listening to another most forcible and earnest talk from the same gentleman. The speaker is a sensible practical , nan ^ c f fjj ie address, and seems to be heart and soul in the cause. He is the right man in the right place. He was accompanied by his wife, who is, like himself, a native Texan and a most charming little lady. Altogether it was an enjoyable occasion, and a most profitable one for the A1 dance, a d I think the good results will soon be apparent. J. P. Wilson. Clarksville, July 24tli. FROM SOQUE.

Horn Deri Terrell, of Texas, the National Lecturer of the Farmers’ Alliance spoke to a very large audi¬ ence atClarksvilld last Saturday. Mr. Terrell presents a fine appearance and handles his subject for all It is worth. His discourse was full of sound reasoning, and his arguments apparently unanswerable. He was particularly hard on trusts of all kinds,but lenient with the mer¬ chants, and advised the farmers to trade with the home merchant that would sell them goods at a reasona- hie per cent, but not to make con¬ tracts with any certain firm after their present contracts run out, and be free to buy from the man who would sell the cheapest. His advice to the farmers was to keep all their obligations, and pay all just debts; said he, “the farmer that fails to pay his debts, strikes a direct olow at bis own children, his brother farmer, is not worthy to be¬ long to the Alliance, and the sooner such men are dropped the better it will be for the order.” Referring to statistics he said that in 1865 there were only 2 men in the United States that were worth $1,- 000,000, but in 1889 we have 15,000 men who are worth $1,000,000; and there are five men in the United States who are worth as much as the other 60,000,000. Speaking of the condition of the farmer he said that they had in the last 25 years decreased in wealth $40,000,000 while the cities had in the same length of time increased $60,000,000. He particularly impressed the farm¬ ers with the importance of living more economically a year or two, in order to get out of debt and be able in the future to pay cash for their necessaries. The following interesting letter was crowded out last week: TILTON. Laying by is the older of the day.

With sorrow we chronicle the fact that Rev. W. R. Lackey, of Holly Creek, sustained a less by fire last Wednesday, of his dwelling and all its contents. Mis.

Mr. Joe Clayton and a Mrs, Chas- tain were supposed to have been drowned while trying to cross the swolen waters of a creek near Igo, Gordon Co. late Saturday evening. Clayton’s team and part of the wagon were found near the creek, and the people of that section were on search for the parties yesterday, but the real facts had not been ascertained on last report brought to Pleasant Hill church yesterday. Mrs. Crrastain is a near relative of Clayton’s,and it was known that he had gone to‘bring hCr to his house.

All varie¬ ties of crops bid fair to give abundant yield; fruit never better. We very much regret to have to to announce the death of the babe of D. S. Hayes and wife, it was born Feb. 12,1889, and died the 12th. ult. age 5 months. While we sympathize with the parents, no one knows the sorrow but those who have had to bear the like bereavement. Sorrow not for the babejvvhile you are troub¬ ling and watching after those left be¬ hind. It will be waiting and watch¬ ing for you all to come and join that angelic host. No doubt that little bright eyed jewel is there, not as that suffering babe but as Jesus who suf¬ fered for its redemption. Thefuner- service was conducted by Rev. G. F. Fuller, which was short, but very ap¬ propriate. The body was interred at the Liberty Hill church on the 13th. ult. J. II. Barrett was taken sick spring about planting time; he has been under the treatment of Dr- Jeff Davis and is now slowly recovering. He has a good crop for which I can say that the Liberty Hill Alliance and and a few Other goed neighbors should have credit as they have kept his crop well worked. The Vaughn singing was a success on Sunday 14th at Liberty Hill. He proved he was master of his profes¬ sion, if you want to hear one of the best singers, come over to his school Prof Hale was there; he isn’t any of your “little uns;” he was very cpiiet, showing lie did not watft to be con¬ spicuous as it was not his day.

To the ToccoA 1 News: If you have room in your Valuable columns I wish to give your readers a few dots from Pulaski. First I will give some ideas about the name of Pulaski. A- bout 80 years ago Tugalo river was cleaned out and made navigable up to the mouth of Panther creek. This wolk was done by James Wiley and a few boats was run up’to’tF&t point, About that time a man named Per- fy purchased the farm whfere Capt. W. II. Deaton now lives; he Arid off a town on the place and narribd it Pulaski, but from some misfortune the town was not built.- So the farm still goes by the name*of the Pulaski place.' Also the nitne of our towri- ship and the school house m this neighborhood have the same name,this is why we head our artic's with the name of Pulaski, We are having fine seasons for the growing crops; corn crops are ver^ fine; cotton not so good; grass a little better; gardens are fine. Capt. \V; D. Deaton has beets ifi his garden six inches in diameter. Rev. D. F. Carter has the best gar¬ den we have seen. His beets are very fine and has more of them than “Carter had oats.” Mr. John Mills passed through neighborhood with his thrasher last week thrashing out the grain as he went; we welcome Mr. Mills in our midst, especially when we want our grain thrashed. 7’he last we seen him he was going in a northern direc¬ tion, he and his hands singing “Glo¬ ry to His Naina;” we wish him much success.

This is a wild region and many 7 of the natives are as ignorant of the ways of the world as children, ilir. Baldwin says he met grown men and women who had never seen a railroad train Their party had occasion to send Randall Brown,their colored cook, to a farm house on the mountain side for a sheep that they had bought, but as soon as Randall appeared in the yard, the entire family 7 , including the mother, began screaming and desert¬ ing the house, hid themselves in the mountain fastness. Randall returned to the camp indignant and insulted at his treatment, and without his sheep. That evening the head ofthe house cam6 to see the gentlemen, and asked that they not send their black man to his house again. lie explained that his wife and children had never seen a negro, but that his oldest daughter had been With him once or twice to Toccoa, and she bad got sor¬ ter used to folks with black skins The appearaffee of a darkey, lie was afraid, would throw his wife and children into spasms.

There seems to be a value given to manure worked over by pigs which neither the theory of the phil¬ osopher nor the cfuciblc of the che¬ mist can account for. Yet it is posL tively there. A rural exchange indorses the old rule that dvery cow kept for butter will keep a sow and pigs,’ The skim milk and buttermilk form a basis for healthy feed, and if given a run in the pasture or in the orchard the lit¬ ter of pigs in the fall will bring near¬ ly as much as the housewife has made from her butter.
