Stop the steal.
On the St. Mark’s river is a village
which contains five white and seven
black families, who make a living by
catching fish and selling them to the
inhabitants of Tallahassee. The
railroad on which these people make
the trip to Tallahassee is one of the
oldest in the United States, and the
trains make an average of five miles
an hour. The houses in St. Marks
are built on stilts, as the town is only
five miles from the mouth where it
emptias in the sea, and overflows from
tide water are not infrequent.—Hal
Morrison, in Atlanta Journal.
Two Records,
The democrats have carried nearly
every important election since Har
rison became President, while the
republicans have succeeded only in
defcatiug the will of the jicoplc by
stealing two seats in the United States
Senate and several seats in the lower
house of congress.—Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
Leave it to the States.
Mr. Boutellc has introduced a hill
umeuding the inter state commerce
law, so that states may prohibit tile
introduction of “original packages” of
liquor, in any state where prohibition
exists. It will he remembered tliut
the supreme court of the United
States,recently decided that such pack
ages could introduced and sold, even
where prohibition prevailed.
Give the states a right to regulate
their own affairs. This is good
state option doctrine.
The Farmers Growing Richer.
The statement has been made from
time to time that the firmers of C.eor
gia were growing poorer. Many
years ago Mr. Stephens made this
statement, and others have voiced the
same sentiments since. While it was
doubtless, Hue at die time Mr. Steph
ens spoke, and die future then had
little hope in it, yet old things have
passed away, times have changed, and
the farmer of to day is a richer man
than the farmer of yesterday.
On this line I ton. S. G. McLendon
of Thomasville, recently compiled
some very va'uable statistics of the
relative wealth and prosperity of the
farmers of Thomas county; and he
thinks they can be supplemented by
the records of every district in Gcor-
gia where the fatmers are industrious
and progressive, and that they will
not show up badly when the returns
are in.
Mr. McLendon prepared a list of
fifty representative farmers in his
county and then consulted the tax
books. In preparing the list he tried
to select men who had been engaged
in nothing but farming for the past
ten years ; who had inherited nothing
within that time and had not given
any portion of their property; who r ow
live on the same land they lived on
ten years ago. As a basis he took
the tax-books ol 1S79 and 18S9. Mr.
McLendon says:
I found that seven farmers out of
the fifty showed a decrease. The
vggracate returns of the seven in 1879
amounted to $28,794, and in 1889 to
$25,635. The decrease in ten years
was, therefore, ,$3,159. The largest
individual decrease was $940 and the
smallest $5.
In 1879 the other forty-three farm
ers returned $80,420, and in the year
1SS9 they returned 8145,001—an in
crease in ten years of $64,581, or an
increase of eight per cent, per annum.
The average individual weath of the
forty-three in 1S79 was $1,871, and in
1889 it was $3,372.
When we remember that these foriy-
three farmers have met constantly
increasing farmily expenses, have ed
ucated their children and so on, and
in addition have|increased their wealth
at the rate of eight pc: cent, per
annum, the showing made becomes a
striking and instructive one.
The tax-books were again consulted
as to the present condition of fifty
small farmers during the same length
of time—ten years. It was found that
these small farmers returned, in 1870,
$30,690 worth of property, and in
1S89 $64,230, or their average indi
vidual wealth in 1S79 was 8613,8s,
while in 1S89 it was $1,284,66. Only
four out of tins fifty fell behind, their
aggregate return in 1S79 being $7,474
and in 1SS9 $5,955—1 decrease of
$1,519. The forty-six who advanced
were worth, in 1879, $23,216. and in
1889 they were worth 858,278.
Mr. McLendon rightly thinks that
these figures, while they are compara
tively small, and speak only for one
section, are weighty with argument
They certainly speak well for Thomas
county; but we believe that other
counties in the stale can make a show
ing equally as good. Without doubt,
the farmers ot Geoigiaare growing
nchir. With new and improved
methods, with implements that lessen
and facilitate labor, why should they
not be more prosperous now than they
were ten years ago ? It is not going
too far to say that the showing which
Mr. McLendon makes for the farmers
of his section is the standard by which
the farmers of Georgia generally can
be judged, and we believe that the
tax-books of nearly every county would
prove it.—Constitution.
Frost in the Northwest.
Washington, May 17. — Killing
frosts occurred in Northern Michigan
last night, and freezing temperature in
Minnesota, North Wisconsin and
North Dakota. At Morehcad the
temperatutc fell to 22 0 , which is near
ly as low as ever before reported at
this season ol the year.
Waterloo, Ia , May 17.—There
was a severe frost throughout this
section Thursday night and yesterday
morning, extending into Illinois. Ice
froze to the thickness of a window
pane, and vegetables and fruit are
seriously damaged. Potatoes suffered
most in Iowa. At Galena, Ill., the
grape crop was ruined.

IN LOOKOUT VALLEY;
Chairman (Juny of the republican
national committee has devised a new
cheme for raising a large corruption
fund for use i,i the next campaign.
He has issued a circular proposing to
give a certificate of membership in the
republican party to any one uubscrib-
$10 to the fund. The “tried and
true” are expected to furnish the mon
ey with which to buy up the mercena
ries who sit on top of the fence.”—Ex
The next, as was the last, will be a
campaign of boodle. It is simply dis
graceful, and if perpetuated, will sap
the foundations of popular govern
ment. The money kings will control
the elections, not the people.

The republicans hauled Bynum, of
Indiana, up the other day before the
bar of the house, and censured him
for calling one ot their Pennsylvania
henchman a liar. Bynum said he
