The only qn&dioii in regard to Pres ident Cleveland’s new order iu refer euce to office-seeking at the While House is! Why was it not issued long ago? Disinterested persons who have observed the daily throngs at tbe'White House ever since the in auguration of. President Cleveland have been surprised at the patience, good nature and endurance With which he has ♦need the onslaught. The President of „the Uuitcd States has something more important to do than to listen to‘personal appeals for office—a fact which.the people whu beset him do not seem to recognize. Increasing throngs poor down upon, the White Houss from every part of this nation of 65,000,000 inhabitants at the beginning of every new ad ministration, because they have been invited to concentrate there ’ by an official custom to which every Presi dent has deferred. At last, the pres sure has become too great 10 be borne any longer. Flesh and blood could not stand it. Tbe upshot will be that luturc Presidents will be constrained, with the growth of the Republic, to trans fer a large share of the official ap pointments to the members of the Cabinet, who would be unfit for their positions if they coitid not be folly intrusted with the choice of their subordinates. Members of the Cabi net, in turn, would be obliged, in order to properly discharge their le gitimate duties, to leave the selection of the minor officials to the heads oi bureaus. The power of the President over official appointments could not be impaired by any rule that might be laid down; but be would not often cheese to interfere with the selections made by his heads of departments. By this distribution the pressure upon the White House would be removed, much to the scandal of the hunt for office would disappear, and the effi ciency of the public service would be The new invention—the telau’o- graph—is an instrument that transmits one’s own handwriting to a distance by‘means of electricity. * Every motion of the transmitting pencil is accurate ly coppied l>y the receiving pen. The first rough machine was made in-1887. In 1892 the instrument was perfected. A common lead pencil is used to^write the message; near its point are fasten ed at right;angles two silk cords, which connecting with the instrument, follow the motion of the pen and control the receiving pen at the other end. There two aluminum arms hold the capillary glass tube which serves at a pen. It is Ed with ink through a rubber tube. This pen is guided by the electrical impulse from the sender and moves si multaneously and in like direction and extent with every motion of the dis tant pencil so that the ink tracing which results must be a.- tac-si'u'»le of what the seuder writes or draws.

But ap plicants for office would, be obliged to submit their claims in writing to the respective heads of departments, who would confer with the President.

The Cosmopolitan magazine, which notices this valuable invention, says : Possibly its most far reaching ef fect will be the demand which its operation will make for government control of electrical communication.

He thinks he should have had a say in the matter especially as Conyers is practically his home. The Washington correspondent of the Atlanta Journal says that the truth of the matter is Weaver, the man who was appointed, and others, sent their applications for the place to Col. Livingston, and he seemed to have pigeon-hole 1 them in his pocket and forgotten them. Mr. Weaver wanted the office and becoming tired of the delay withdrew his papers from Col. Livingston and sent them to Senator Gordon, who immediately filed and endorsed them. This endorsement, added to Governor Northeu’s and other state officials got Weaver the, job. The statement that Secretary Smith took a hand in the affair to defeat the aims of tbe Congressman from the fifth is said to be untrue.

It is most important that • DURING A DROUGHT our lands should be kept free of all crusts or clods. Some farmers when the ground becomes hard, will put off plow ing it until a rain falls. The time to get rid of this crust is at once; go at it with any im lenient you may have at hand, which you can use to the best ad vantage, but tho harrow is preferred, because it enables the farmer to cover thoroughly a largo area in a compara tively short time. Tho man who defers this work under the impression that- ft few days’ do.ay can do no very great harm, deceives himself, and if there should be a protracted drought irrepar able injury to tho crops must result, with consequent disappointment and hardship to tho farmer. Often during a drought the seeds germinato, but from absence of moisture haven’t the ability to forco themselves through tho soil.

And the increase in value of lots has kept pace wilh the growth of the city. The lot that cost $ 1,000 forty years ago is now worth $20,000.

A rake or fight-running cultivator will answer the suine pur pose. It should be the aim of every farmer to keep his land not only free of weeds, out in the most perfect title possible, thus giving its absorptive pow ers full play, and enabling the roots to perform their full duty. It is in pro- portion as the little rootlets have a nice, mellow, thoroughly broken soil, in which to seek for the elements of plaut life, that the plant develops. When these rootlets, the mouths of our plants, are checked in sheir search for food, in just add lo. gallons of water and spray tl affected trees.

The suits I large would, under ordinary circumstances, indicate a large increase in tbe COTTON ACREAGE, but from our numerous reliable corre spondents, covering nearly* every militia district in tho state, wo get a most com prehensive view of the situation, and from these I am convinced that tho in crease in acre^ke is NOT SO GREAT as has been supposed. In very many of the genuine cotton counties an actual loss has occurred, so much more laud having been devoted to food crops. These crops, including all the small grains, corn, millets, ground peas, etc., have been largely increased, and on them has been applied much of the large amount of commercial fertilers which have been used. Many farmers last year, owing to tho low price of cotton, reduced their bills for fertilizers, and in some cases abandoned their use entirely, but tho plan was so unsatisfactory ana unreinunerativo that they have this season gone on the other extreme per haps and applied fertilizers Memphis.

On lighter soils'this plan will not be neces sary, but on re«l, stiff lands you will be delighted with its effects on the growth’ and development of tbfc, yoting plants, and should a drought occur, your crop “will be in conditionAto withstand its effects.

Let also see to it that a larger acreage iu potatoes is put in. This crop is so easily culti vated, so quickly made and under oi narily favorable conditions, yields abundantly that it is a matter for > prise that onr fanners do not pay m attention to its value. Of course when a full crop.is made the price in the fall rules low, and just at that tim© the picking and housing of the cotton crop requires so much attention, that the It ia asserted that all oi Mr. Cleve land’s influence wiil be exerted in favor of Mr. Crisp for Speaker when Congress meets in extra session. A dispatch from Washington says: Ex Speaker Crisp will be re-elected Speaker when Congress assembles in extra session iu September, without opposition. Last Thursday night Mr. Cusp dined with President Cleveland and it is understood that the organis zation and the legislation of the next House were then th iroughly con sidered. sion that their salvation and that of the country at largo, lios in the abandon ment of THE OLD COTTON TOLICY, which seeks to produce on credit cotton with which to buy all farm supplies. Bitter experience has tanght them that farm policy which is not self-sustain ing, is a mistaken and ruinous ono, and they have wisely decided on a crop division this year, which, with favor able seasons, means independence for them, and more food in Georgia for the support of man and beast than we have had for years. These evidences of a better and more intelligent system of form economy are apparent to even the casual observer, and to one who, watch ing closely tho general drift ot cult culture, the improvement is most marked. An investigation of this sub ject proves that in proportion au the in terest in home supplies is lessened, just so much ia the attraction for home and homo surroundings relaxed, and this the profits ones realized from the crops of an average Georgia farm. Another reason that the estimato of the cotton acreage, based on the use of commercial fertilizers, is erronesus, is that the FAILURE IN THE HOG CROP caused a heavy advance iu the price of cotton seed oil, which is largely used to supply tho deficiency iu the lard market, A corresponding advance in the price of cotton seed caused thousands or farm- among those who had'always approved tho seed, to decide that $20 to- $20 a ton, it was to their interest to dis pose of them and substitute commercial fertilizers, which, in a large majority of cases, was done, and thus the product of oil has been greatly increased, the hundreds of operatives; the railroads have received increased tonnage, and the farmers have an additional source of income, at a time when most needed.
