The Independent Farmer. The farmer,jafter all,. U the uiost independent "'man . living. - It he makes hia own supplies, and ho »ughu panics and financial deprerah ns do not hurt hioi seriously. Hu. ia iu- finitely better iff than the town man. Bill ^rp, iu oue of bis 'ettera *o the Constitution, after reviewing the res ' port of Comptroller General Wright, in which is shown the large increase in farm lands aud other property ^sys: • OI course the largest increase is in city property and banking capital and railroads, the last named bating grown from $900,000,000 to $42,000, 000. But the farmer need not be envious of those who invest in these things. Merchants fail, bauks sus pend and railroadi go into receivers* hands. The larger the venture the greater the risk, and there is no in' vestment so solid and secure as a good farm with a good farmer and his family living oa it. For ages the comforts and happiness of rural file have been the thein-.-s ox poets and philosophers. In times oi like these, when busintss is stagnant and big enterprises are crushing to insolvency and thousands of workmen are thrown out of employment, the farmer alone is sate. He depends upon his Maker for sunshine and tor rain and upon his land to reward his labor. He is remote from the temptations of socie ty. His sons are not in jail nor his daughters smirched with scandal. Indeed, ii he will compare his in dependence and comfort with the rich who dwell in the cities he will find the balance sheet largely in his favor.” Another effort will be made t*» re organize tbe Central. A committee left Savannah last night f.*r New York. The New* say#: - "Tbe committee selected consists of Receiver Comer and Directors How ell and Phinizf. These gentlemen will start for New York to-morrow night,, and Monday morning-they will meet tbe Hollins committee and endeavor to get it to again take hold of the Central and make a final effort to reoiganize the property. If Jllte Hollins people decline, other capital* ists will be waited on and asked to; assume tbe undertaking. The com mittee has'power to make whatever arrangements it deems best concern ing the floating debt. “The committee is sanguine of sue* br in view of Justice Jackson’s decision. His action it is thought will restore confidence, as it practical ly puts a stop to forthtf embarrassing litigation by tbe Terminal. There is still some hopes for the security holders, and receiver Comer now feels more confident than ever that the property will .be rescued." Ben Russell is iookiug after his con stituents in v\ ashiogton. A dispatch from that cuy says: Representative Russell called on the president to-day to see what he could get for South Georgia, and also to put in a word for Mr. Atkinson. When he mentioned the speaker of the Geor gia house, Mr. Cleveland said: “1 would like to give Mr. Atkinson some thing, but 1 am afraid I will be unable to give him Berlin. Do you know if he would take anything else?* “I do not,” said Mr Russell, “Well I will take it up lrcr, and if I can serve him in any other way, I should like to do it. But now about South Georgia.” Colonel Russell then launched out into a strong talk for his constituents. He spoke especially fo- Judge Under wood. Mr. Cleveland said he would pro vide for the judge. He was outspoken in saying that South Georgia setmed to have got very little, but said it had been an cvers-ght and. ‘of course, was not intended.” *1 will see Mr. Quincy,’ he said, “and ask him to s:cd his recommendations for candidates from South Georgia as it must be provided for.” Here the totervicw ended. The Albany Herald publishes the following charges which have been filed against a repuitcan p istneaster in North Carolina: *fHe has no regard whatsoever for his persoail appearance, which ns itself makes it very disgusting to the ladies who are compel cd t-.> caU for their own mail.

Treasurer iisrde* man insists that tbe state will collect its claim within the next thirty day?.' lieutenant Peary’s exploring steamer Falcon left Philadelphia lost night for New York, en route for Polar sea*. It is a big undertaking for such a comparatively small craft; yet nothing that experience or science could suggest has been omitted from her equipment. Setting forth not only well supplied in every material sense, but with as stout-hearted a crew as ever faced Lhe Arctic wastes, the Falcon may be depended upon to make history for the world, as well as to win glory for her daring naviga tors.—Philadelphia Record. An exchange has this curious item: “A Texas man was tried for tbe mur der of a neighbor who was missing, and had been identified in the person a dead man on the highways. He admitted the crime and was sent to the penitentiary. When the self-con fessed murderer reached the peniten tiary he found hia supposed victim, and also one of the jnrors who had tried him in the penitentiary. It is puzzling case; but it shows that the courts are trying to do their work in Texas.” Judge Newsome, the man who sings "The Lone Rock By The Sea,” with moving effect, has sued the Con stitution for $10,000 damage for pub lishing that he bad warbled his song ’neatli some fair ones* window to the disgust of the aforesaid fair one; and that, moreover, he had sent this same fair creature boquets, which, in subsequent fit of pique, he had sent her bills covering the cost of the flow- The suit will be watched with deep interest by everybody. Along with the other train of evils which have overtaken South Corolioa within the past few vears, is the ap pointment, by Tillman, of constables to watch the dispensaries in order to report any infractions of the law. These men are to be unknown in each com munity. They Will be spies, pimps ot the governor and his gang. Ver ity South Carolina has fallen very low. The Way cross Herald has this con solation tor the poorer classes: Oue thing peculiar about the pres ent financial panic, is the fact that rich mt-n are getting tbe worst ot it, while the poor man, or those uuxkrate circumstance?, who are do ing a business on their own money, appear to be tailing along all right, Fanny. Lancaster Law Review. A rathrr crude citizen of Seguin, a small town in western Texas, was elected justice of the peace, and the only law book he had wa«t Cushing’s Manual. The firit case before him was that, of- a cowboy for stealing a When the case was called the leading lawyer of the town, the Hon. John Ireland, by name, was there to defend the prisoner. 'As there is no counsel fur the other side,’ he said, 'I make a motion that the case be dismissed.' The justice looked over his maunal. 'A motion has to be scoonded/ he •aid.- •I second the motion,' promptly sponded the prisoner. The motion has been seconded that the case be dismimed,' said thv court *AU in favor will please say *«ye.' The prisoner and his attorney voted •aye’ •All opposed will say 'no ’ Nobody -voted. 'The motion is car* ied aud tbe case is dismissed,’, repeated the court. ‘A motion to adjourn is now in order.' Tbe prisoner made the motion, and the oonrt adjourned. * ^ . An Important Question. The newspapers art- still discussing the questioo whether the Ada Rchan statue is bow legged cr not; and, in cidentally, whether the lower limbs ot the lair. Ada herself had a gentle out ward curve. This is a serious question and tt'should be settled. How can the newspapers, the great moulders of thought;'the men who make and un make statesmen, settle, satisfactorily to tfccra-elves—or anyone else—the stiver question, the Bering sea trouble, the anmxauoo of Hawaii,, the tanft, 4 otlur great questions, umil . it is definitely settled whether the silver statue of justice moddlcd after the fair Ada, br Ada herself if jo-s please, ts bow legged* ledge Waxem’s Proverbs. There ain’t nothin* brittler than a polytishun's promts. It makes folks sassy to hold offis. Nobody ever questions the other* doxy of the stars and stripes. Some statesmen live- on poker and perquizefs. A public cconnermist these times to be a man who gits $5,000 yeer fer tryin’ to spend all the gov ernment money in his own destnek. Uncle Sam continues to ware pants. Editing \ newspaper is a funny business. For instance if you give a fellow a ‘nice notice' he never secs it and so lar as showiog his appreciation probably never “hears tell of it." But just say something “agin ’im” and will pursue you worse than the sheriff and beat your mother-in-law sizin'' you up correctly, two in the deal. * A fellow who don’t care much about eating can have a picnic run ning a newspaper—Hustler of Rome. The president has issued hia proc lamation convening congress in extra session on the 7th of August Mr. Cleveland is not blind; he knew when call congress together. He was convinced by the reports from all over the country that it was neces sary for c ingrets to meet at an earlier day than he had originally intended body to meet. India since that time repudiated silver, hence the urgency for the repeal of the Sherman act. Nt, Thank*. Hou1 men ui Chicago—not sit oC dnin, however—must think there are many ••aofi-snaps” among the news*' paper men down this way. We are in receipt ot a propisition to do eight weeks advertising, probably occupying from a quarter to a ha’f column, and to write up numerous puff*, all fur a certificate entitling the editor and one other to a room for five days. And these rooms arc advertised at $t per day. II ih s isn’t gall, and the bitters est kind of gals, then we do not know what it is. Tlte proposition is prompt ly declined without thanks. Georgia will expend on her public schools this year the sum of $1,063,- 657,81. This is the largest amount appropriated in one year for schools io Georgia. And be it said to the credit ot State School Commie- ssiouer Brad well that this large public fund will be handled and paid ont at cost but little in excess of $5,000. This includes the salary of the su perintendent, ether officials necessary carry on the work, and all inci* deutal expenses. That’s an economi cal haodiiug 'of the people's money.
