A negro criminal forfeited his bail
iu Alabama and fled to Kansas. The
governor of the latter State refused
to honor a requisition from Governor
Seay, for trumped-up reasons, and is
enthusiastically supported in his ac
tion by the fervid newepaners of that
red-hot renublieau State. One of
them is quoted as saymg: “To what,
effect did we fight that war if the
down-trodden negro fugitives from
southern cruelty arc to he forcibly
dragged back there to dooms worse
than death at the hands of those bar
barous rebels?” The average Kansas
republican gets madder and madder
every year, and it would not be sur
prising if-an army raised in thqt state
should invade the South bcfoie very
long, bent on arranging things to suit
Kansas notions. It is possible, how*
ever, that caution is as large a part of
die Kansas patriot as hate.—Tcle-
ed there was no such place. A few
enterprising farmers lived in the neigh
borbood of what is now Machen, but
a' best it was only a rural settlement
of half a dozen families Railroads
are developers, however, and mere is
no telling at what point along their
routes thriving towns will be built
When the Covington & Macon road
was an established tmng, one of the
stations was named lor the man who.
probably, more than any other, was
instrumental iti building the road. This
man was Col K C. Machen. East
fall the desirabiliiy ol the little station
as a place of residence began 10 be
appreciated, and to-day Machen lias
stores churches, a school house, a
warehouse and some handsome rest
dences, and machinery has been pur
chased lor car works, a cotton com
press, an oil null and guano works.
There is one respect in which Machen
dues not resemble Guthrie, and tha'
is in unheslthfulness. According to
some accounts Guthrie mav have a

The Georgia Guthrie. 10 the contrary,

the country.
Oilier towns in Georgia, while they
axe not going forward With the rapid
-iri es of Guthrie, are making quue
satisfactory progress. Tney are in
creasing in population, and.they build
new enterprises as rapidly as their
purses will allow. I hey may not be
on a boom, but they are by no means
at a siand-till. It is very certain that
their progress is not all on paper It
is steady and solid. After all, this is
probably the btsi hind of a boom.
The Farmers’ Alliance and Educa
tion.
Nearly all ol the branches ot the
armers’ Alliance in Georgia have ap
parentiv lost sight of the fact that one
of the chief purposes of the Alliance.
ccordmg to its constitution, is to los-
ter education. The Putnam county
branch has not, however. It has start
ed a movement to arouse greater in
terest in education in the county, and
committees have been appointed for
al of the militia districts, to work
among the people with' a view to es-
ablishing schools in districts, if any,
where there none, to improve schools
already established and to quicken
interest among both parents and chil
dren in school matters.
This is a proper move, and the
probability is that the farmers can do
more to push it to success than any
other cla c s of people, because, in near
ly every ccuntv gf the slate, and cer
tainly in Putnam county, they consti
stute the greater part of the popula-
They will no doubt obtain the
aid of nearly every other class, and it
is 10 be hoped that an enthusiasm in
tavor of education will be awakened
that will result in better school advan
tages and belter school attendance
than has been the case for years.
There is much more illiteracy among
he while people i f Georgia than the
people generally are aware of, and
much of it is among the farmers and
their families, the farmers being the
most numerous class, and their chil
dren having inferior school facilities
besides being compelled to be at work
irequently when they ought to be at
school. A movement in the interest
of education, therefore, is one iu the
merest of the farmers’ children espe
cially-
1'he example which the Putnam Al
vow to marry withiu a year. Six
have already found victims, four of
whom eloped, and the other six are
on the war path. It is dangerous for
a young man to go outlie streets after
sundown, unattended. Without in
vading the sanctity of the young la
dies’ make tip, we may state that it is
also known, though just how the in
formation was o itaiued is not stated,
that each of the twelve wears a yellow
garter as a talisman. It is claimed
that a girl wearing a yellow garter is
sure to get married within the year.
It tliis assertion is generally credited,
the demand for yellow garters will far
exceed the supply. We expect to
heat' of some sharp yankeo starting a
manuiaetory to make them by whole
sale.
A Plea for the Bull Tongue.
Editors Telegraph: Owing to the
cool weather and heavy rains <5f the
past two weeks, corn and cotton look
badly.
I think the new way of farming,
which has been adopted by many,
does not coital the old plan. They
have thrown away the bull tongue,
scooter and goofier shovels, which
nnr forefather? used, and with which
tltev made plenty to live on and
some to spare. They always could
count and money.
The present plan of farming is to
plant the largest area in cotton, ■’'then
follow with corn, peas, potatoes and
oats, in such amount as they can
work-r-nud hut precious little work
tin y get, because time and attention
is given mostly to cotton Even the
cottou is only sided with a turn-plow
and afterwards cultivated with a
scraper, notwithstanding the g iiund
has never been thoroughly broken tin.
In most cases they have more than
they can properly work—this they
discover when the rains of May and
June begin. The grass grows with
such rapidity that not one farmer in
ten can command labor sufficiently
to work it out. And tbon when the
crop is made, gathered and sold hie
pocket is just as empty as when he
pitched his crop, notwithstanding he
has labored hard. He attributes his
failure to drought and un-toward cir
cumstances, but the real cause lie had
over cropped himselt, and had not
used economy in cultivation. Jily
plan is to plant less, manure Well,
and work better, sell more and buy
less. Then peace and prosperity will
abide on the farm, and not until th:s
has been accomplished will there be
plenty at home. I like to read letters
from farmers, for by them we learn
mir errors.—Macon Telegraph.
