From many parts of tbe stats have come reports that tho tenant farmers are abandoning their crops, throw ing the onus of gather ng upon the landlord, and are preparing to flock into the different cities of the state. In a time like this, when the coun try is suffering from public stringency' it is the duty of all our people to •tand together. Nowhere’s tlrs duty stronger than in our cauntry places, where, upon the lack of credit and of means, so largo a part of the pop ulation is dependent upon the land owuer for support throughout the year. It is unfortunately the condi tion in Georgia, where there is So large a proportion of teuant fanners, that the landowners must meet their provision and fertilize! bills for the yeas round, reiving upon the gather ing of the crop for repaynent. Asa consequence, the tenants have had their suppprt for the year at the ex pense of the land owner. They have had possession of the laud and an opportunity to live- When the time for gathering :he crop comes, as is unfortunately the case this year, piices rule so low that tL re is but little encouragement to the man who has worked the year round, who finds himself hardly a'.de to pay out. But si is in such a movement as this that such men should show that high character which belongs to the na tive of Georgia, They should staid by the land oweer who, for the niue proceeding months, has stood by them and see to it that the crop is gathered and the best is made ot the situation There is mutuality and reciprocity in this as well as common honesty. The question, however, goes even deeper. If poor men leave the coun try with unfulfilled obligations behind them and rush into the towns, what are they going to meet? It is just as well for them to un erstand first as well as last, that the towns are over crowded; that there is no work for them to do, and that they will simply swell the list of the homeless and th" wandering Even in tunes when towns and cities are prosperous, Un man who makes his living by farming is very foolish to seek its allurements Expert skill and trading qualities are what thrive in cities. The man who has his living to make by manual labor i* at all times [and under all conditions infinitely better off in the j country than he can be in the ci,y. The Constitution would urge upon the country people of Georgia to stand together in this great emergen ( v and to avoid the temptation ot moving into town, when it so settled there is nothing there for them. The man who leaves the country simply los°s the credit which he has bad, and coining to (own where ho is unknown, can get no work and has no credit. Asa consequence, r.e can only have himself to blame for the evil into which lie enters. — Constitution. Tetter, Salt-Rheum and Eczema.

We always advocate con servatism in everything. The Legis lature should not go at the work et tax teforin blindfolded with a sharp axe in hand- It sh uld fir t see ex actly what the state has on hand to raoet its obligations. Then it should deal as liberally as possible with every departmedt of slate uovernmoet With the information we now pc vess concerning the financial affana ot the state we do not see how the tax rate can be materially reduced with out emting the common school and pension funds. If it be possible to do otherwise in justice to tbe tax payers, we do not favor cutting those funds. Men with far greater ability than we possess may demonstrate how this can be done: If so, we shall be greatly pleased. We notice that there is ad sposi tion to entthe pension fund and leave the common sch< I fund intact. We do not favor any such action by th jagislature. If one of these funds is to be cut then both should be cut There should be no discrimination in taver of the common school fund. There are more negro children ia Georgia receiving the benefits of the common schools than white children, We are not in favor of shielding them and cutting off the funds for Confederate veterans. It won! 1 be well it no cut should be necessary bat if i< necessary then all appropri ations should be scaled e p itably and justly.—Banner, An Interesting Clock. A most interesting old time-piecs is the clock standing in William the Fourth’s bedroom at Hampton Court and which s 1 of Kingston, were recently to repair. The clock was made by Dan Quare about tbe year IG6O, and is one of the most remarkable pieces of automatic mechanism in existence. It is what ts commonly known as a ‘•grandfather ( lock,” standing in a very tall oak case, with heavy ormolu mounts. There are several particu lars in which ihis clock is almost, if not quite unique. In the first place it goes for twelve months at a time without winding. But more remark able than this is its ingenius mechan ism- It is what is known as a “cal endar” clock, and besides recording the davs of the inonto and tlm months of the year, it also automatically shows the time of sunrise a°d sunset Ttie last time tbe clock was over hauled was eaily in the present cen tury. For tbe las* forty years, how ever, the clock bad not been wound up. It speaks well for the splendid workmanship of our ancestors that, with slight exceptions, Messrs. Gay don f mud the works in as perfect a condition as when the clock was originally made, and there is no rea son why it should not last for another 200 years.—L#ndou Mail. “Blind Tom’As He Is Today. “Hie name of Thomas Wiggins means nothing to the majority of readers,” writes John J. a’ Beeket in the September Ladies’ Home Jour nal. “But Thomas Wiggins is ‘Blind Tom,’ a name familiar to hundreds of thousands in this country and abroad, who have heard the piano played by this wonderful negro. The rmpress ion that he is dead is a pretty general one. Asa matter of fact, Blind Tom has never been ill a day in his life- On the banks of the Shrewsbury River, in a domain of over two hun dred acres of woodland, stsdds a picturesque two and a half story wooden house witli a broad veranda. Here Blind Tom is at home. “His hands are not at all ‘piano hands.’ In place of the slender long fingered hand which one so often sees in great pianists, Tom’s hands are small and plump, wi h t,he thumbs and tapering fingers quite short. “The strongest impressioD I bore away was that of the sweet, eon tented life the poor blind negro is loading. There was pathos in if I had expected to find a wonder at the piam , and I did for his untaught mastery of the instrument is marvel ous. From tbe time the Bethune family lift the dinner table to see who eou’d he playing on the piano, and discovered the sightless picka ninny of four years perched, on the stool, his little hands plucking un canny melody from the iteyhoard— from that time until now he has bad an unwavering devotion to the in strunient whose music is bis life.” TOM WATSON DRAWS KNIFE Said That He Waa Ready To Carve a Conductor. The picture of Tom Watson on a railraod train with his knife in his hands, ready to recent what he thought was an insult by the conductor, is one that arises from a story that is going the rounds. Mr. Watson had been at Cussela, in Chattahoochee county, defending Bagley, the Populist nominee for the legislature who is under indictment for killing Adams, the Democratic nominee, and was retnrninn to his home on a Southern railway train, between Columbus and Warm Springs when the troablejoccurred. Conductor Charles Kendall was runmg train and Mr. Watson occupied a seat In (he first-class coach. He had ordered supper to be brought on the train, and Conductor Kendall said that he must go into the smok ing car to cat, as the supper could not be brought inte tbe ladies’ car. didn’t like smoke. Mr. Watson said that it made him sick to eat in the midst of tobacco smoke, and |inisted on having b s where he was.J At the time tbe conduc’or was at the end of the car and Mr. Watson according to reports of“the affair, was standing with his hands on the door posts arguing the question. There was a lady in the car to get off and the conductor had to go help horjout. He left talking with Mr. Watson abruptly, it is said, pushed him aside and went back.to the lady Mr. Watson is reported to have construed this action as a personal affront, and it is stud that when the conductor came back Mr Watson had his knife out and called the conductor, saying that thep must settle the busi ness. CONDUCTOR explains The conductor, it is said, explained to Mr. Watso that it was his duty to help the lady off the train and he had no time to stand on ceremony sc he brushed him aside without intending any affront. It is said that Mr. Watson accepted this explanation and became serene one# more. The sequal was that he had hi, supper in the car where he had baen riding and ate it there. facts about the philip- INES. Oiled rags are ussd for brooms. Battle me no larger than goats.
