Organization and Cunrirnation. Tbw is the clay of oreanixitii'D* a»»d combination* Ii-Lhcaphsl and lab* are at it. Speaking'of tlnee thing? Justice Brewer, oi .the United States supreme courts recently uttered some wise truths. Ha voice should be heeded. In a speech In G>on*cti«*ut r on the 4ib, among other tilings, -.be Revolution Threatened. The West is ripe for nb llion if we are tffhWi^c . fionralf; Waite, of Colorado. At b*MWir e«»n*en!»owio Denver the other day he said: ••II the money pdVcr shall attempt to sustain Us utuipaiioo by the *»troog haod.’ wc will meet that issue when it Georgia needs a railroad commission The Railroad Commission Does Georgia need a railroad com mission afur ah* With compc’iuon as wc «ou4 have it wouldn't the coun try be better off without It —Thomas- villc Times-Enterprise. The rress can answer this question. The most noticeable social fact oi to-day is that of the combination of capital aud the organisation oi labor. Whatever may be the causes, and whatever the results, good or batj, the fact is beyond dispute that the trend of the two great industrial force* of capital and labor is along the line ot consolidation and co operation I am not here to decry this tendency. A capital combine may, as is claimed, produce better, cheaper and more satisfactory results in manufacture, transportation aud general business; but too often the combine is not con< tent with the voluntary co-operation of such as chooser to join. It grasps at monoply, and seeks to crush out all competition. If any individual pro* fers his independent business, how ever small, and refuses to join the combine, it proceeds to assail that business With its accumulation ol wealth, it can afiord lor awhile to bo largely undersell as to speedily de stroy it. It thus crushes or swallows the individual, and he is assaulted as though be were an outlaw. So it is with organization oi labor; the leaderi order a strike; the organi zation throws down its tools and ceases to work. No individual member dare say: I have a family to support, prefer to work; but is forced to go with the general body. Not content with this, the organization too often attempts, by force, to keep away other laborers. It stands with its accus tomed power ot numbers not merely to coerce its individual members,"but also to threaten any outsiders who seek to their places. Where is the individual laborer who dares assert his liberty, and act as be pleases in the matter of work; where is the indi vidual contractor or employer who can carry un his business es he thinks best? Is Life Worth Living? Misfortunes never come singly. Along with the financial depression, the vaporings of' Torn Watson, the high shines beiny cut by Mrs. YeWin Lease, the cyclones, the great over flow in the Misfirsippi, base ball, the operation of the Sherman law, the results of the McKinley tariff hill, the recent fire in the World’s fair grounds, the uncertainty of the Bering sea ar bitrntion, the partial failure of the blackberry crop, the prediction that the world will come to an end in November, 1897, the operation of the dispenmry law in South Carolina; in addition lo these mi-forlnms and ills —present and prospective—comes the crushing, blinding, overpowering news from Atlanta that Scott Thornton is to appear in Hamlet again, and that Judge Newsome will be the orchestra, singing, “The Lone Rock By The Sea.” And yet in the very free of all these things you will find people who will have the cheek and hardihood to argue that life, after all, is worth the living, worth living, even in Atlanta. New York, July 13 —The same easy condition » as reported by bank officers this morning as was found yes terday. Mctiry wis fairly abundant and call loans were renewed at 8 per cent.

J., July 11.—Cal vin Curie, the president of the defunct Somerset County Bank, made the lub lowing statement to-day concerning the finances of the bank; . The deposits last Friday night, when the bank closed, amounted to $140,000; cash on hand, *160 000; sorplus over money not paid, 110,500. The bank holdsex-Congreasmun PH- cock’s paper to the amount oi $84,- 000. Five thousand dollara was paid on this account one week ago. The whole amount of the directors’ paper held by the bank amounts to 1134,- 000, The charter of tha bank pro hibits the directors frem borrowing money on notea more than ever. If she had cot had one a month ago it would be necessary for her to organize one now. The decission of Justice Jackson that the state censtitution his no pow er to prohibit combination of proper ties, even if arnducted in a manner likely to lessen competition or create mocopoly. t-ai made more vita, the poker of fhe state railroad commis- atob to watch these combinations and io regiil <te rates as rar at it can be donein Georgia. Justice Jackson decides that rail road and warehome companies, ter minal syndicates or trust companies can own controllng micro.* in twu or more railroad lines in Georgia; can vote the stock and oi course dictate the management. Such being , the case it is more than ever' important that the operation ol these fines should be srirject to the reruriny of some body which stands between the rail roads and the peop'e, and which will protect the earnings ol the road at the time that it guarantees good rates to the people. The railroad commission of Geor gia has proven to be a vigilant but not, a hidebound body, l.s -teccni action in raising the ra.es of Georgia railroads upon certain classes ol goods, in view of the depressed con ditions of railroad properties, shows that it is liberal in dealing with the railroads. Georgia cannot afford to do with out the railroad commission. In the light of tecent events it has become more important than ever to the peo ple ol this state.—Savannah Press. The Press, unintentionally no doubt, credits the opeuing paragraph to ihe wrong paper. No such editorial par, a graph ever appeared in those columns. Jtgonvejsideas diametrically opposite lowhst we have always held on tbs object. Georgia dee, need commission and we are glid she has S-ie needs a fair, broad, l.beral commission and this we think she has. The commission should act a* arbi trator between roads and people, and to each fair and ample justice should de meted out, rhe Press is right when it saysihat the railroads of Geor gia ''should be iul>ject to the scru'ioy of some body which stands between the railroads and -the people, and which will protect the earnings of the road at the same that it guarantees good rales to'ihe people.” This has always been our p isitiou on ihji question. A Northern View of the Negro. Tue Pniladslpbia Telegraph is by no means a southern eympail'iser, hut it has given up ile olri-limu idea that the negro is oppressed-in'the eoulh. The Telegraph has' watched the al leged race problem for a quarter of a century, and this is the way it views the situation: Millions of dollars havo boon and are living spent in order that the child ren of black meri-aud women may- learn the rudiments' of education Other vast rams oi money have been and are being spent lo give an ad vanced education to- young colored men and .young colored women.

We beliere that this is ihe only way that we will ever have sob-treaiuty that will be of any use to us farmers.” General Passenger Agent Haile, of the Central, and Sam Webb, of the same department, proved themielvea shrewd detectives in ferreting out the rale ot pseses issued by the Central to members of the Weekly Press Ass>- ciation.

Referring to the discriminations against South Georgia, the Macon Evening News says: '"South Georgia is justly indignant that almost the entire official patron age, state and federal, should be given to a small section of Nurth Get rgia.

Is it that his democracy is of a purer stripe or that his talents are of a higher grade? Well hardly the former. South Georgia has never tolerated to any extent either repubs licanum or third party heresies. She has stood squarely by the democracy from first to last, while many of the North Georgia boys who are now gorged with political plums were either flirting with the enemy or were actually on active duty in his camp ” We call this overdoing religion.

CLOVER AS A FERTILIZER, uld be glad if you would' c to meTiow clover renovates land' and renders it more fertile? J. C. C\. Fouche, Ga. Nearly tbe entifo dry weight of clovt aside from the constituents of„ water is carbon, which is obtained from the at- mosphore. and if the crop is plowed der and*allowed to remain a portion of this carbon is deposited in the soil. If the hay is removed the amount of bon deposited by the roots on a well sod ded field would still be very large, The agricultural value of carbon to tbe soil ba3 thus been given 1 1. It makes tho soil more retentive of maunres. 2. It causes it to appropriate larger (uantities of the fertilising gases of the Atmosphere. 8. It gives it groater power to absorb moisture. 4. It renders it warmer. In addition to the carbon the organic matter deposited in tho soil by clover contains a larger amount of nitrogen than that of other plants except those that belong to the same family. The Home and Farm, one of the best and most reliable publications in the country, speaking ot the financial depression has this to say of the South: The southern states have been unusually fortunate in the past tiro years in t’lat they were forced to econ omy before hard times generally came throughout the country. The low price of cotton made absolutely nec essary the adoption of ccoaoro'cal methods o* production, with '.he re sult that the iouth is now raising more of its oad home supplies thin ever be fore, »hit these arc costing tlem less than ever before, and that cotton last year, and this year, will bj made on a lower basis of cast.

While value of carbon does not depend on its en tering into the composition of tho plants but upon its effects npon the mechanical condition of tho soil; nitrogen is.indis- pensiblo to the growth of plants. Thus wo have an improved physical condition and a direct contribution to the fertility of the soil. It may not bo amiss to .add that the cowpea, which is ono of God’s greatest blessings to the southern farmer, flour ishing as it does where neither weather or soil will admit of clover, also has the power of extracting from the costliest elemont of plant food uitroi POTASH. How does potash make plants grow? 13. M. D., LaGrange, G Your question is one that'will not ad mit of general answer if you desire fohnation as, with what part of the structure of plants potash enters. But if you only dosire to know whether the method of appropriation of potash by plants differs in anyway from its method of feoding npon oilier elements it sufficient to say that in taking up pota.' the method of ^ appropriation is^ tJ plant potash enters no general rule c; be given, as tho quality of potash di fers very much iu various plants, the cereals potash while entering into the formation of tho grain plays a more important part iu tho formation of the straw to which tit adds much strength In cotton potash is a part of both plant and seed.

Beat in the world* ,55.00, Your question as to the best method of ascertaining tho value of fertilize: admits of two constructions and in this light of two answers. That is method first of arriving at the commer cial value of the fertilizer, and secor * to arrivo as to its value to the soil of particular farm. The one furnish' simply tbe valuo of the plant food co: taiued in tho mixture the second its adaptability to tho soil upon which it Is used. The actural worth of the fertilizer may bo high, anil yet by supplying plant food which the soil already contains aud not those elements in which the soil is deficient its value to the crop may not be seen and tho yield fall short of what tho farmer has reason to suppose would be the natural result of its use. Tho question of actual valuo iu the elements of plant food is ono easily set tled and about which there need bo no controversy. Analysis by a competent chemist gives the quantity of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and 1 otash the mixture contains and the relative value. In tho case of tho state of Georgia and nearly all tho states this analysis is furnished by the state chemist through the department of agriculture and by refering to the bulletins sent out there need be no questions as to what the fertilizer contains. Tho question of adaptability is a much broader one and requires careful study and experimental work on the part of the farmer himself. There are those who desire the stato and government by soil analysis to furnish them with a proper knowledge of the character of their soil. The value of toil analysis considering the variety of tho land even in the same field has Been seriously questioned, and certainly without ap enormous outlay could not be practically carried out, while such analysis by sections might properly es- tabltsh general rules, it seems to ns at present Impracticable for individual ap- plication. We therefor** advise that each farmer, by experimental work on his own land, ascertain itneeds. Indeed such work is of much ..lore value than any theoretical appli .ticn of fertilizers as by the yield th* • .oner acquires ab solute knowledge 1 the demands of his and in substantial fruits gathers the rSSUlts of his study. While wo would pot reflect on the commercial fertilizers Of today, and presume that the percent ages of the elements they contain are perhaps proper general deductions, yet there are those who are iuclinod to re gard these applications to all lands without regard to its need in the light of a curo-all as compared with a regular prescription. This may be too severe, yet there can be little doubt that it is the duty of every farmer who desires to advance and to adopt better method* to pfitchase the ingredients and either mix them as past crops would indicate his ■oila needs, or add to the regular com mercial fertilixer in such,proportion as bo tees proper. Many of tho mannfuo- tnrers are ready at a)l times to prepare Such formulas as the farmer desires and except where the material is composted, ho may purchaso if lie wishes, as experi: meats show his 6oil demands, Wo would impress the noceesity of studying the adaptability of tho fertilizer to the ftpl to which it is applied, and also the need* of different crops for different proportions of the elements of plant growth.

In regard L> your questions as to the hom fly we reproduce article on this subject from the June report of 1892: THE HORN FLY. In some portions of southern Georgia last y«M cattle war# very much annoy ed and thefir dondltion reduced by the ravages of a small fly about one-half tho size of the house fly, which it re sembles in general appearance. In Vir ginia this fly is known as the horn fly, or buffalo gnat. The latter name has become current under the tnisappreh *u« sion that the fly is identical with ihe southern buffalo gnat of the Mississippi valley. However, the injury done by the horn fly is not to be compared to that of the sonthern buffalo gnat, and indeed, there may bo no fear of any immediate danger to tbe life of stock, for tho Defiant of tlioso sections of the state infested with these pests, wo give several selections from the report of the etomologist of the department of agri culture of the United States. LIFE HISTORY. The eggs Ard deposited during day- * tffcfly betv^en 9 a. m. and 4 p. k - — Particularly during the tours. They are laid ** upon their sides tie mot _ ..... far as known lb6v ape laid upon no other sub stance, kfiu never when old. The 1 arras upon hatching descend, remaining, however, near the surface. When they are grown they Are about two-fifths of an inch in length, and of normal color and form. The time elapsing from the egg to the adult is from 10 to 17 days, averaging, 6ay, two weeks, and there are probably seven or eight generations annually. Their winter habits have not been definitely defined. Hiberna tion doubtless takes place normally, either as an adult around stables, or as a pnpanum below the surface of the ground. The flies make their appear ance in May, becoming most abundant in July, and gradually dwindling until sharp froety nights become frequent. The characteristic habit “of clustering about tho base of the horn is developed only when the flies are quite abundant. When they average Only 100 or So to the animal, oomparativelf few will be found on the born. Moreover, the horn-clustering habit seems to bo more predominated early fa the season than later. The horflS ayd not the thly rest ing place, as vast fitunbers cluster also upon the back between the head and forcshouldors, where they con be reached by neither head nor tail. In thi feeding position the wings are slightly elevatefl, and are held out from the bpdy at an angle oJ Q0 degrees from the abdomen. The legs are held out wildly, and tho beak inserted beneath the son of tho animal is held in nearly a perpendicular position. The fly be fore inserting its beak works its way through the hair close to the skin, bqt is able at a fling of the tail or an impa tient turn of the head to rise instano- onsly in flight, settling back as quickly.
