N. B. Bl'KR. UnsIncM Mnnngrr, The Emperor of Germany lias been indulging in some war like talk. The Morning News introduces the deadly parallel column, on the Consti tution. Col. L. F. Livingston will address the Allianccmcn of Decatur Co., at Bainbridgc.on the 8rd of June. The Southern Presbyterian Assem bly are opposed to a revision ot the confession of iaith. Northen is making hay while the sun shines. And the sun is shining. Col. Northen has fine prospects for a good crop. Will Senator Brown resign? it is reported that he will. Doubtful His presence in the Senate would help the democrats just now. The watermenloii is playing a prominent part iu Alabama politics Mr Kolb is a candidate for governor, aud he leads the field. He appears to be ripe. The expression, “the surplus” will soon be changed to “the late surplus.” There’s a mighty big hole being made in Uncle Sam’s strong box, by the republicans. Give me an “original package,” is the way Col. Jones now asks for the fluid, in a prohibition state. And then Jones,Smith and Brown, proceed to imbibe ’neath the xgis of the Supreme court, prohibition to the con trary notwithstanding. This is a great country. Senator Gorman thinks the pension burden will reach 5200,000,000 a year before the demagogues will think it time to put the brakes on pension leg islation. There is no telling to what extent the people will he taxed for pensions, if they don’t raise up and protest agaiust turning all the reve nues of the government over to the pension sharks and the grand army veterans.—News. 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. -i-KOOL! WALKER COUNTY, GEORGIA, 22 Miles South of Chattanooga, Term 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. 1 In the line of tile 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 considered it an honor to be censured by a republican house. And he was ght. Chattanooga Southern Ry., Is destined to Ik* one of the most important manufacturing cities in tlic South.
