The legislature by a special act

Representative^ Fields is taking
quite a stand in the House and his
friends bespeuk for him a fine
record.
There is a greut demand in
Vienna lor Wnore houses to rent
from $5 per month up. Laboring
people especially, can't afford to
pay $10 par month for house rent
at the price they receive lor their
WOrki It would be well for some
\\ GUf etilerprising and monied men
to erect a number of houses to rent
for a smaller price. More people
would move to our city for the
benefit of the school if it wasn't
for the high rent.
The legislators ride on free passes
and then diaw mileage from the
state trensury. There are few of
the representatives who probably
could be corrupted by such a small
thing as a railroad pass, but, from
tlut standpoint of common decency
and honesty, would it not look
better for the lanmukers to stop
tnit practice of receiving favors
from railroads as-well as all other
corporations?—Dublin Courier-
Dispatch.
WHY DID THEY STAY AWAY?
A problem which the Republican
leaders in New York are trying to
solve is. why did so many thousands
of Republicans in New York city
■—registered Republicans—remain
away from the polls last Tuesday?
says the Savannah Morning News.
Two years ago, in that city, the
Republican vote for Governor was
272,090 and the Democratic vote
was 316,393. Last Tuesday the
Republican vote was 202,559 an d
the Democratic 1*016324,564, These
figures show a fulling off in the
Republican vote of 70,000 or more
and an increase iu the Democratic
vote of about 8.000. >
Did 70,000 registered Republi
cans stay away from the polls or
did Democtiits as well us Republi
cans stay away vthile the Democrat-
yote was partly made up of
Republican voters? It is not 'be
lieved that the Republicans con
tributed anything to the Democratic
vote. The explanation is that there
is much hospitality to Gov. Odell
among the republicans of New
York city because he assisted in
bringing about rhe taxation of
public utility franchises, thus re
ducing the tuxes of the farmers.and
people of the villages and increas-
ing'.thut of the owners’ franchise
properties in New York city. It is
also claimed that the'ildiniuistration
of Mayor Low has been a great
disappointment to the Republicans
of New York city, it having besn so
colorless as to excite no enthusiasm
among them.
Whatever the cuuse, it is certain
that Republicans did not rally to
Gov. Odell os they did two years
ago* It may be that they have
found out that the Republicans ure
great in making promises, but that
they seldom fulfills their promises.
They promised lo do greut things
in the way of reform in New York
city. ' As a master of fuct the con
dition of uffuirs there is just about
what it has been for years.* At no
time during Mr. Croker’s rule of
Tammany was it wider open than
it is now.
Some of the 70,000 Republicans
who remained away from the polls
ought to be interviewed. Doubtless
they would willingly give their
reusons for not voting, and their
reasons would make interesting
reading.

The farmers support the world; the
result of their labors feed and clothe the
universe, and therefore th*y should be
cared for more than any other class of
people in a legislative way, but the fact
of tho matter is, they are about the only
clrts who have no class legislation, and
It is not likely that they will ever have
on account ot the impossibility of or-
ganising them. Without organization
they cannot hope ever to exeroise any
political power except in voting for
some other class candidate.
It behooves each farmer then to hit
upon sonic plan, by which he may act
individually and independently of his
own class and of oilier classes ot workers
and the capitalist.
There is but one plan, that is to place
himself In an independent position in
his farm life. There is no other occu
pation in the world that requirse so
little capital and so little work as that
of the farmer.
It every farmer did as much labor as
the merchant, salesman, the carpenter,
the wheelwright, the banker, the sue
cessful lawyer or others of any occupa
tion, he would soon be independent.
The farmer, not only fails in not
working enough, but neglects too much
the little things pertaining to his farm
life, he fails to attead to the cane, ar
tichoke, pea and peanut patches* for his
hogs; he fails to feed regular and house
properly the barnyard fowls (a source
of much revenue) he fails to select seed
corn and seed cotton while in the field
and to gather and seperate them from
the general crop of com and cotton; he
neglecta to select his brood sow accord
ing to excellency for the purpose; and
not the least of all, he allqwa the bam-
yard manure to waste and fire; should

there be any left at planting time it is
all right, and if there is none he doesn’t
care; he buys any kind of old stuff, Just
so it’s called “Acid” or “Guano."
The small farmers are the “bone and
sinews” ot the land; make them happy
and prosperous and the whole country
is happy and prosperous; let him be
discontented and "in arrears” and this
whole country is in the same box.
In Georgia there is, no reason wfiy the
smaller farmers sbould not be eminent
ly independent by living at home, for
there is hardly a farm product that by
proper cultivation, cannot be produced
on Georgia soil and in Georgia climate.
One great draw-bock to farming is,
every other class of people look down
on the occupation in a condescending
way: and some farmers train up their
children to ^islike the farm life by
‘‘putting up a poor mouth” unceasingly
about nothing in farming until the boy
can hardly wait for long pants before
he is hunting a job behind the counter
or some other dressed up position.
Thus some farmers aid the slight placed
upon their occupation.
Farmers talk up your farms just as
much as the merchant does his goods;
or the horseman his horse; or the law
yer his side of the case; or the wheel
wright his shop; or the life insurance
agent his company, and you will learn
to love your job; success wilt come to
you; your boys will not go to town;
dull care will be driven afar off and
content wilU become your companion
and life's rough road will become
smoother and smoother os you near
your Journey’s end.*—Ex.
