JOHN M. BROWN, Editor. ESTABLISHED, 1S71. BY THE DEMOCRAT PUB’G. CO. Here shall the Press the Peoples' Eights Maintain. ! TERMS: $1.00 CASH. VOL. XXI. BAIN BRIDGE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 17, 1891. NO. 12* TOBACCO, ITS CULTURE AND CUBE. The first step necesary to raising tobacco successfully is the selection and preparation of the soil. To bacco thrives best in a deep, mel low soil, either naturally rich or made so by some good fertilizer. If old land is selected, it should he turned over in the fall if there is anything on the land to turn ; if not, apply some coarse farm man ure. There is nothing better for this purpose than half-rotted straw and lot manure. Land treated in this manner in the fall or early winter will be pulverized by the action of the frosts, and will be in excellent con dition for the final preparation for the plants in spring. After the frost is all out of the ground, agood coating of compost should be spread broadcast and the land broken about half as deep as the first plowing, running across the first. Just before you are ready to set out the plants, run a heavy har row over the land and lay off the rows three feet apart, with a shovel plow. In this furrow put some nod fertilizer, at the rate of 200 pounds per acre, or even more, if your land is thin. Then run through it with a narrow plow, in order to mix the fertilizer with the soil. Then bed on this with a one- horse turning plow, and on this bed run a roller, and your land is ready for setting out the plants, which should be about one foot and a half apart. New ground or an old field that has grown up and been cut down, should bo treated somewhat differ ently from old, smooth land that has been in cultivation, but thorough breaking and clearing the land of tufts aud roots is all that is necessary. PREPARATION* AND CARE OF SEED BEDS. It is of the utmost importance to the planter to have an early and abundant supply of tobacco plants. To secure this the seed may be sown any time betweeen the loth of December and the loth of March —the earlier the better. The ground selected should be virgin soil of andy texture, rich and moist, with full exposure to the sun, but shel tered to the north and west by rising ground or growing timber igainst the cold winds of early I>ring. The ground having been well ■boson, clear it of rocks and weeds and rake it off well. Then burn it thoroughly by building a good fire of brush and wood on it, which ■hould be kept burning until you are sure that all vegetation and germs of insects are killed. A good brisk fire kept up for about two hours will accomplish this. After the ground has cooled off it should be cleared of everything except the ashes, and then dug up thoroughly and raked off nicely. The soil <hould not he inverted, however. Tobacco seed are very small and too much care cannot be taken in preparing a seed-bed for its recep tion . The bed is now ready for seed ing ; the seed may be sown broad- st over it, or a better plan is to mark off drills with a sharp stick about one and a half or two inches apart, and into these little drills prinkle the seed ; they should not jc raked in, but the bed should be trodden with the feet or rolled, or patted with the back of a hoe ; a simple but very effective method, to take a piece of plank and lay __ on the bee and tramp on it, then take it up aud place it down where the first impression stops, and so until the entire bed is gone r. The writer has found this a ttor plan than treading, as the ■oil and seeds are not so apt to ad- re to a smooth plank as they are . the feet. The bed should have trench all round it so that it will thoroughly drained; nothing drowns more easily than a tobacco plant. quantity of seed. One and one-half teaspoonsfuls seed will sow 100 square yards thirty by thirty feet of bed. The ed should be mixed with a con- ■nient quality of of dry ashes be- sowing, as there is great danger of sowing too thickly. If the ground on which you pre pare your seed bed is uot naturally rich it should be made so by apply ing fine, well-rotted stable manure which must be free from seeds of weeds and grass. The bed should he thickly cover ed with fine brush, to prevent both drying and freezing of the sod, by which the plants are either stunted or uprooted. The tobacco bug generally makes its appearance about the firM o of fore April. An excellent preventive against this enemy of the young plant is to nail a twelve-inch plank to stakes driven in the ground at each corner of the bed, and throw some earth against the lower edge of the planks, and then sow the outer edges of the bed with black mustard seed. The coldframe will serve the additional purpose of keeping the bed warm and moist, and should not be omitted; the mustard will spring up quickly, and upon it this bug loves to feed, and will attack it and let the tobac co alone. The plants will show themselves about the first of March, when an additional table spoonful of seed should bo sown on the bed ; after the plants are well up, they should be pushed forward as rapidly as possible by top dress ing before each rain with some good fertilizer, at the rate of a gal lon to every 100 square yards; the fertilizer should never be applied while the plants are wet, with either dew or rain for fear of scald ing them. Dry leaves and young grass or weeds should be hand picked off the bed, but the cover ing of brush should not be removed permanently until the plants are nearly large enough to set out. If the plant begin to parch from drouth the bed should be well wa tered and covered with green boughs laid upon a scaffold several feet above the plants; they should not be shaded too much, and indeed it is seldom necessary to shade at all unless very dry. Watchman, What of the Night? These are critical times, and a word of warning may not be cit of place, but altogether proper, as we occupy neutral ground and can speak without the least prejudice. If there was ever a time when the debtor and creditor classes should have a proper conception of the relations existing between the two, now is that time. The future wel fare of the creditor class all de pends upon the prompt payment of their debts if it be possible to pay, and if not, then to secure those they owe with such collater als as will in turn secure loans from banks and private individuals who have money to lend. One or the other of these can be done. Next year the man without money or credit had as well be in Africa as here, as in either place he will have a hard time. Besides, any man with any sense of pride would make almost any reasonable sacri fice to maintain the standard of honorable citizenship, which he cannot do without dealing fairly with his neighbor. We are grati fied that so much of real heroic manhood still remains, but it is true that there are some who ciaim to bo servants of the Most High God, who have little regard for name and family, judging by the manner of dealing with their fel lows. One square acre packed full of such church members are worth less, and a dead weight, and they are a thousand times worse than open and defiant enemies of the gospel. The world looking at Christians, so-called, who are con tinually beating about seeing whom they can devour, will tell you plainly that if the grace of God works that way they do not want it. A good credit is a good bank ing capital. Then why not main tain it ? Times are hard and will get more so if people do not quit committing financial suicide. Pay as long as long as you can and then make a good note that can be negotiated, and all will move off smoothly and hard times will beat a regular “Bull Bun” retreat. Cot ton will go up to its proper stand ard of value, because it will in a measure be removed from the arena of speculative manipulation made possible by the necessity to sell in the absence of money or a good credit. Money always alert, sees the main chance and profits thereby. 1892 will be remarkable for the antithesis of good and bad, being the best year to some and the worst to others. As to how the debtor class will fare depends upon how they treat those they owe. Next year labor will be plentiful and cheap. A\ ill you put yourself in a position to utilize it ? If you have money or credit all will be well: Cotton culture of necessity will be cut off through out the South, so that a good price may be expected for the next crop. The tenant system in the main will have to go, the share system and wages will take its place. Upon the whole changes will be the order of the day, and it will be for the better. See ? The Alliance should not antagon ize the Democratic party for through it alone can they succeed in setting what they want. ATRIESTORY. TUe Visible Appearance ot* The Spirit ot a Dying Woman. Marietta Jonrnal. “If a man die shall he liv again?” is a question that has been propounded all through the at Another question, is it possible for disembodied spirits to come bac to this world and make themselve visible to human eyes? There was related to the editor of the Marietta Journal the other day, an instance of this kind. A well-known lady, who had wasted away with that incurable disease, consumption, lay on her bed dying. She was unconscious, and it was evident that in a few hours her life would be at an end. As her sister and a lady friend,sat at the fireside in the stillness of the night, the sister turned and looked toward the bed where the dying loved one reposed. As site did so, there was a startled look on her face, for she disinctly saw- standing by the bedside, in white, the spirit of her sister looking down into her own face. The other lady turned and looked toward the bed and she also saw the same sight. Not a word was spoken by either. The first thought that ran through the minds of the couple of watchers were, that the dear one was dead, and her own spirit was taking a last, lingering look at her own face, bidding the old body good bye. As the two women impulsive ly arose from their seats, the spirit form vanished. They went im mediately to the bed, expecting to find the loved one dead, but to their surprise, she was still alive, but unconscious. However, in a short while she was dead, and the sweet spirit, that had gazed upon its tenement of clay, as one looking at one’s self in a mirror, had taken its eternal flight to the God who gave it. NVhat thoughts run through the mind as this picture of the spirit of one looking down into its own fleshly face suggests. IIow that spirit, released, witnessing the quiet features, whose beauty had at one time held in captivity the hearts of men; lips that had spoken words of tenderness and love; eyes that had sparkled with magnetism ; but now disease had come and wasted the frame and driven out the sweet spirit that once anima ted that lovely body. How that spirit must have loved that body, and hated to part with it, and must have said: Good-bye, old body, good-bye! We have spent many years together in happiness, and often times in sorrow. Many times the lips have smiled in joy, and many times the eyelids have been wet with tears. But I go and leave you now. I go to live in that house not made with hands eternal in the heavens, where there will be no more death, no more sorrow, pain or tears. You go back to the earth, old body, precious casket that has held an immortal spirit, but I go now to my Father’s house “where are many mansions.” I do not die, I cannot die, because God lives, and He breathed the breath of immortality into me, and I become a living soul. But precious old'body, you go back to dust. Nothing in nature dies. The wa ter that trickles from mountain side and goes on to the great sea, comes back again in gentle show ers. The leaves that fall to the* earth in the fall, turns to mold, enriches the earth and returns again in the spring in other forms. The golden grain with the sunshine in its bearded sheaves, ripens to give life again. There are changes, but no death. ‘‘There is no death'! The stars go clown To use upon some fairer shore. And bright in heaven’s jeweled crown. They shine forever more. There is no death! The dust we tread, Shall beneath the Summer showers, Turn to golden grain or mellow fruit, Or rainbow-tinted flowers. There is ne death! The leaves may fail, The flowers may fade and pass away— They only w ait through winter hour's, The coming of, the ilav. There is no death! An angel form, Walks o’er the earth with silent tread, j He bears our best beloved away, And then we call them “dead.” He leaves oui hearts all desolate; He plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers. Transplanteddnto bliss, they now, Adorn immortal bowers. The Steamboat to bcSoId. The Steamboat “City of Albany,” will be sold before the Court House door o* the first Tuesday in January next—to satisty a mortagage fi fa from Dougherty Superior Court in favor of Nelson Tift, W. \Y. Wight, N. F. Tift, and other. This does not mean that the boat will be discontinued, however, as the Albany Navigation Company propose to buy the boat; thus the property will belong to home enterprise almsot exclusively. The cause of the sale is owing to the failure of Mitchell and Baker county parties refusing to pay up the amounts they subscribed. Captain Wight, President of the company, stated, last night, to a re porter, that the boat would not be taken off the river, but make trips between schedcduled points as usual.—Albany News.

It is taken from the columns of the Southern Alliance Farmer, and it is not necessary, therefore, to vouch for its genuineness: 1. (a) We demand the abolition of national banks. (b) We demand that the Govern ment shall establish sub-treasuries, or depositories in the several States, which shall loan money direct to the people at a low rate of interest, not to exceed 2 per cent, per an num, on non-perishable farm pro ducts, and also upon real estate, with proper limitations upon the quantity of land and amount of money. (c) We demand that the •amount of the circulating medium be speedily increased to not less than $50 per capita. 2. That we demand' that Con gress shall pass such laws as will effectually prevent the dealing in futures of all agricultural and mechanical productions; providing a stringent system of procedure in trials that will secure prompt con viction, and imposing such penal ties as shall secure the most per fect compliance with the law. 3. We condemn the silver bill recently passed by Congress, and demand in lieu thereof the free expense of another. (b) We further demand a re moval of the existing heavy tariff tax from the necessitesof life, that the poor of our land must have. (c) We further demand a just and equitable system of gradu ated tax on incomes. (d) We believe that the money of the country should be kept as much as possible in the hands of the people, and hence we demand that all national and State revenues shall lie limited to the necessary expenses of the Government, eco nomically and honestly adminis tered. 0. We demand the most rigid, honest and just State and National Governmental control and super vision of the means of public com munication and transportation, and if this control and supervision does not remove the abuse now exist* ;, we demand the Government ownership of such means of com munication and transportation. 7. We demand that the Congress of the United States submit an intendment to the Constitution providing for the election of United States /Senators by direct vote of the people of each State.

LUNG TROUBLES, RHEUMATISM, ETC Frequently a person is supposed to have consumption when it is some other disease altogether that is reducing his flesh and making him look pale and thin. J. W. Y'ates, Tullaboma, Tenn.,/writes: “It does me good to praise Botanic Blood Balm. It cured me of an abscess on tho lungs and a tlima that troubled me two years and that other remedies failed to benefit.” So you see it is sometimes well to try con stitutional treatment. No remedy is so good as ii. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm) for rebuilding wasted tissue, and giving health to every portion of the system reached by that great circulating stream of life, the human blood. Again, it is often supposed that colds and exposure are the only causes of sciatca, rheumatism, etc. Such is not always the case. It is frequently caused by impurities in the blood. Wm. Price, Lnttsville, Mo« writes: “I was afflicted by sciatca and had lost the use of one arm and one leg for nine years. I went to Hot Springs and also tried different doctors, but found no enre until I tried Botanic Blood Balm. It made me sound and well. I am well known in this vicinity.” Observe, even when the renowned Hot Springs failed, B. B B brought relief. Remember, no matter what blood remedy you have tried, or intend to try, B. B.
