ity fit £ I?' I m Han. Robt, S, Mitchell. A few days since the Constitution sent one f»t Ua stall Mr. I*. J. Moran, * to ThomaavilW for the purpose ol interviewing Hon. Robt. G. Mitchell, ex-president of the Senate. Col. Mitchell has been prominently men tioned as a candidate for governor, and he has a ho t of friends through- ont this sec: ion of the st ate, and in fact throughout the entire tta'p, who would - give him a cordis! support. This end of the state is entitled to recognition, and the friends ot the dis tinguishwl gentleman irom Thonial think he is the man fur governor. The ex senator is not an tffice seeker, and has never been ouo, but he may be forced into the race for governor . all the earoe. South Georgia is proud of him and would give him a hearty support. The interview with our dis tinguished fellow-citir-iu waa published in Sunday’s Cooatitution. It was the topic of conversation among politic ians yesterday, Mr. Mitchell ex presses bis vie vs lully, clearly and unreservedly, and with a frankness characteristic of the man. To the question, aa to what legi&la- tion was necces3ary for the relief of the people, Col. Mitchell replied: That is a big question. Had you thought that it was one of the most difficult problems for human solution? Yet I believe when legis lation is enacted in ths wisdom of ex perience, the justice of upright mo tives and the moderation of mature statesmanship, we wi 1 have attained near unto its solution How are we to arrive at what they most need ? What is the beat for the whole people? What are the demands of the hour? Under our blessed form of republican government the people speak ont themselves through their chosen representatives, and in solemn con vention assembled declare to the world their fixed principles, and formulate such demauds upon their government aa will bent subserve their material welfare and conduce most to their happiness. “The people of this country have exercised this privilege and inalien able right to assemble themselveo to gether,” continued colonel Mitchell, “and through ihe agency of their chosen representatives, patriots and statesmen of that grand old unterri fied, indivisible and indestructable democratic party, erected a platform of principles and outlined a course of legislation that they believe will bring safety and prosperity to the whole people. By what better mode or human contrivance could the deranuds and necessiths of the people be ascertained, I know of none. Then i f . seemed to me the very first and paramount duty of the hour is to adhere strictly to the democratic platform. “1. Because ;»s true at.d faithful democrats we nrc bound by it. We made it. The. deni- crntic party by solemn net in convention at Chicago is pledged to it. “2. Because up u that platform the democratic party achieved tory unparalleled in its history, show ing that the great ms forit y of the peo pie in this broad union are in accord with the principles and in sympathy with the laws sought to be enforced by that platform. “In my judgment, the three most potent factori in the success of the democratic party in the last election was the party declaration in it* plat* form /or “Tariff reform, “Free silver coinage and “The repeal of the 10 per cent tax on state banks. “These issues were discussed in extenso from Maine to California and from the lake-* to the gulf. “Surely, in Georgia, we all who took the stump advocated these / measures aa pure democratic doctrine. The people so understood it and their votes attest their approval. “Now, I ntn aware that there are some good democrats r.nd able patriots who claim that the platform does not demand tbo free coinage of silver; that it nowhere appears ia the plat form. With great respect and rfe ference to them, it seems so plain to me that I cannot see bow any man need err therein. We ho’a to the use of both gold an 1 silver as standard . money of the country. There shall be coinage of both gold and silver on terms of equality without discrimina tion against eitht r metal. “I firmly believe if congress could argue upon some wise silver legisla tion in conned ion with the repeal of , the Sherman act, it would be a great relief to the country and go a long way toward restoring prosperity and hope to the people. “One of the most potent reasons why the eastern money'kings so bit terly oppose the free coinage of silver is its increase of the circulating medfo am of the country. It 4s to their interest to contract the currency, to £ive money a fictitious value, if yon • . nplease. It is to the people’s interest, and I mean by the people, all of oar people, basines'j men of every grade and character, farmers, professional meD| laborers and more especially merchants, to expand the circulating medium to that Extent consistent with soundness and safety. That would gpve new life and snap to bus iness, revive languishing enterprises and put the wheels of commerce in rapid motion to the^ delight of the great masses once mor>. I, for one, do not believe there is enough money ' <S to do the business of this country. To 'prevent disaster and sometimes ruin—$25 per capita is not euffici nt. Silver legislation, it seems to mo. U of equal importance with the repeal of the Sherman'act, and they ought to go together or there ougbt to be a certain a.-sorance that the one would immediately follow the other. This acqomp'Uhed, speedy reform -of the class legislated tariff, the repeal of the 10 per cent tax upon state bonks, a rigid economy In the administra tion of the government and a tax upon immense Incomes that shoo'd'be made to h'-ar their proportion of the burdens of government, and 1 verily believe tb»a country would enter upon an era of progress and prosperity not excelled by its palmiest dajs. “That the great democratic party, grounded ia the affections o! the peo ple, founded on the principles ol free government'and justice to all men, consistent with the forth of this great nation, will briog about this result i have the strongest hopes. Should that spirit of consetvatiam and com promise of differences among demo crats that is characteristic of great men result in relief to the country the democratic pariy will have enthroned itself in the hearts of the people for a generation to come. ‘Democrats, get together’ and stand together. The welfare of yonr country claims it, the future of your party demands it and democrats everywhere hop© for it.” Referring to state legislation Col. Mitchell said: “Well, old Georgia is coming to the front with any southern state. Let our legislators equalise taxes as far possible, foster the public schools, take care of the old veterans and the widows of veterans, pay their teachers promptly, work the public roads and make a wise disposition of the con victs and all will be welL I would like to say that I have yielded to tbis interview, hasty and imperfect as it simply because The Constitution has taken the trouble to come after i% and with a hope that a free talk on public questions will do no barm, and perhaps a little good. I know the danger of interviews, and were I on the hunt lor office would not yield to it, but the contrary beieg true, I care nothing for the criticisms that may bo passed upon it.” T= Fearful Lost of Ufa. Ntn Orleans, Oct. 5.—-Nearly two itu-aml killed and five million, of property destroyed, is ihe reenlt of the -greet storm of two dsys ego, in Louisiana. ' More than half of the population in the region over which the hurri cane swept are dead. Probably one houee in ten is left standing and the people are left in destitute condition. They are with- ont food, and moat of them have no clothing aod no place to sleep. The houses were crushed by the wind and wavea. It it known that the death list ia already above 1,800, and only a part of the devastated country fias been heard fr^m.

MMmM Referring to the debate in the house on the bill to repeal the federal elec tion laws, the correspondent of the Atlanta Journal wires the followii g: When Murray concluded, Ben Russell, with a fresh white tie and a now black prince albert, commenced to talk. The new member from the second jumped right into the arena with a hallelujah true blue lick. “He is making a constitutional argu meat, interspersed with cold facts drawn from the actual verietie* of tbe political situation. He caused much amusement by announcing that he had listened with interest to the gentleinau from Indiana and the member from 8outh Carolina. .. “At 2:30 Mr. Russell was still speak ing and receiving close attention.” We are glad to know that Mr, Rus sell is fully sustaining himself, and that he is making his mark in cons gress. Editor McIntosh of tbe Albany Herald has this to say about a favored section of Georgia: “In what a gloriom section of the country' is S juthwest Georgia situa ted ! While thousand* of people are dying from pestilences and being killed by cj clones, on every ride, we are spared. Little or no sickness, no plague, no famine, no dronth. And how tbanklul we should all be! Every man, woman and child should send up a night and morniog prayer to a gracious Preserver for His continued Ours is, indeed, a highly favored region. Iu coming years it will be the “garden spot” of the Empire state of tbe Sooth. Senator Pugh of Alabama is fight ing the repeal of the Sherman act, and the Mooile Register tells him that he does not represent bis state in so doing. Tbe Senator is mad and has stopped his subscription to the Regis ter. The Register fires this back at the Senator: “Having carelullj read the news papers published in this state, we tell him that, aside from half a dozen Populist papers (which do cot confine their attacks to Mr. Cleveland, but are openly figuring the Democratic party), there are not five papers in the state which are of bis opinion.’ After tbe decks have been cleared, after the silver question has been dis posed of, and all other legislation which might be affected by a new rule, tbe Senate should adopt some method by which a vote can be reached in the future. Under the hundred years standing rule of “sena torial courtesy” a minority can, for months, and may be for good, block the most important legislation, legis lation demanded by the country, new departure is evidently' needed in the Senate on the subject of roles. The struggle over a vote io the Senate will begin to-morrow night. Old senators do not fancy an all night session. If thv body fails to reach a vpte, then we may expect tom: com promise measure. It .looks like the silver senators would be able jo filh buster successfully against a vote. Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 5.—After mid night, the Nebraska State Democrat ic Convention settled the silver dis pute by the overwhelming defeat of the silver element led by congressman Wm. J. Bryan, democrat. Bryan is chagrined and threatens to go to the third party and be sent to the senate.” Mr. Bryan, it will be remembered, electrified the couutry dunng the debate io the house on the silver bill. He said his state and the whole west was. famishing f.»r more silver, and now the democracy of Nebraska in convention as-embed, sustains Mr. Cleveland by a two thirds vote. This makes six state democratic conven tions which have endorsed the presi dent since tbe silver senators began their war on him. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 4.—Bishop Henry M. Turner, of tiv*. colored Methodist Church South, has issued call signed by himself and “by ap proval of three hundred prominent and distinguished endorsera”addressed to “the colored people of the United States or a convention to Cincinnati, Ohio, on November 28th, at 12 o’clock. Said national council is to review and pass upon our con dition, patiently, impartially and port truthfully our knowledge every person murdered by mobs, lynchers, and when and what for, with documentary evidence if possi ble, for the use of the committee or committees' haviog such matters in hand. Atlanta, Ga-, Oct. 5.—The estimate of Commissioner of Agriculture N< bitt on Georgia’s cotton crop, issued on the first of the month, was very positive that the crop would not ex ceed that of last year. Reports from 200 correspondents in different parts of tbe state received by him since then indicate an even greater falling off lrom the earlier estimates, and is now believed tbe crop will be under that of last year by perhaps 10 per cent. Particularly large is the falling off in Northern Georgia. New Orleans, Oct. 7-—Stories of death and desolation, which continue to come in from the storm-etricken district of Southern Louisiana, lying between Pointe a la Hache and the quarantine station, are of the most harrowing character. Scores of dead bodies are still tying on the river’s edge or are in the high and tang’ed weeds of the marshes, whither they were driven. Many of those who es caped are starving. It is reported that men and women, driven to des peration by hunger, are feeding on dead animals. New York, October 7.—The total visible supply of cotton of the world is 5,346,308 bales, of which 1,980,168 are American, against 2,695,402 and 2,301,502 bales, respectively, year. Receipts at all interior towns, 149,845 bales; receipts on plantations, 251,980 bales. Crop in right,'743,059 Hamburg, Oct. 5.—No fresh of cholera have developed in this eity in forty-right hours.

Work of the Stations. Bulletin No. 21, of the Georgia exper imental station contains interesting ar ticles on practical dairying, experiments with oats, etc. The bulletins “are sent to all persona actually engaged in fanning who make request for the same,” and we would ad vise our farmers to avail themselves of tbe benefit of studying the experiment work conducted at the station. On dairying in Georgia tho Director in the last Bulletin says: In Georgia, and the south generally, the dose and often the fierce competi tion that prevails between dairymen in other sections is not manifest. Owing to the small number of persons engaged in dairying as a business, the high price that dairy products command in the market, and the'inadequate supply, dai rying has proved, a profitable industry near our cities and large towns, in spite, of the comparatively crude methods and lack of intelligent skill brought to bear. Very few who have embarked in this line have failed of reasonable success, and instances might be cited in which small fortunes have been the result of 10 or 15 years of industrious application, joined to very little skill and knowledge of the details of the business. Dairying is thus becoming more and more popular, and every year witnesses an increase in the number of persons who are embarking in it, and in the cap ital that is being devoted to it. As any business grows in importance and in the number of its followers, competition be comes sharper and closer, and the neces sity for intelligence and skill becomes more manifest. In the opinion of the writer, based upon tho judgment and experience of men who are familiar with the advan tages of other sections, and particularly the experience of Mr. Wing, the Station Dairyman, Georgia possesses natural ad vantages of soil, water and climate that should enable her to take high rank as a dairying state., Wo believe that this in dustry furnishes the most convenient and promising field into which to divert onr energies and efforts from the past policy of southern farmers, which has failed to result in that profit and pros perity to which the climate and other natural resources entitle them.

Ths country will be all right—in the sweet bye and bye, and oat, The spores (seed of tho smut) attach themselves to the kernels of wheat or oats and are sown with them. When the grain germinates the smut spores also germinate and enter the young plants, growing and subsisting on tbe inside of the plant, until, when the head appears, it is smut instead of wheat or oats. To kill the spores wo recommend tho Jansen or hot water treatment, which has been thus given : The farmer may use his ingenuity in regard to the treating of his wheat and oats, and use whatever conveniences he has at hand—anyway so that he accom plishes the desired result. One way we find convenient is to have a kettle in which to beat the water quite hot, say 165 degrees. Near this kettle place a barrel in which to trent the seed. Fill this barrel about one-half full of hot water from tho kettle and then by adding either hot cold water, the temperature of the water in the barrel may be kept at the desired height. It will be found very convenient to have the barrel in which the seed is to be treated sunk into the ground so that the top is only a foot or so above the surface. Into this barrel dip the seed. The dipping is easily done by plaoing about a-bushel of seed into a coarse gun ny sack, and fasten this sack to one end of a long pole used as a lever hung across' A notched post. The seed should be kept moving all the time while in the hot water and by using the pole this is easily done. Oats may be treated just before sow- Af ter talking them out of the barrel of hot water it is best to throw cold water over them to cool them off, and then let them stand and drain two or three hours after which they may be sown broad cast. Wheat dries much more readily, spread out immediately after treating and left to dry ft few hours, it can then be sown broadcast or in a force feed drill. As the grams will be considerably swollen after their treatment it Is well to regulate the drill to feed from one to two pecks more per acre than with dry seed, It will be readily seen that this meth od is in the reach of every farmer, Atl that is required is one kettle, one or two barrels, and a coarse sack. Two men in one day can treat enough oata to sow 20 aerts or enough wheat to sow 40 acres. One caution to be observed is that of using no bogs or dishes for treated seed that have been used for the untreated seed, unless they have first The Water should be at 135 when the wheat or oats are piit fn. low the grain to remain in the five , minutes and keejp the tem] above 180 degrees. Keep the ing all the time it is in the means of the pole to insure treatment of all the seed. Aim to keep the temperature as nearly 184 degrees as possible. When the seed is first put in the temperature of the water will fall rapidly but by adding hot water it Can be raised quickly to 184 ROADS. 1. Would it not be wen to hgve a dis cussion as to the best method of obtain ing good roads in the columns of the re- .ports? 2. Does not the raising of cattle and stock affect the fanner as much as any crop? If so, why not have an inquii column as to number and condition? A. R. L, Gainesville.

Questions relative to stock, hogs and work aniifisls appear from time to tupe in the circular , sent out by the depart ment, and we would appreciate fall an swers. Would also he glad to answer questions relative to stock in the columns. ABOUT TOBACCO. 1. At what height should tobacco be topped? 2. Is there any way to hasten its ma turity? If so how? 8. Should the sun ever be allowed to shine on tobacco after it is cut? G. W. S. f Stueville. 1. Topping does not depend on the height of the tobacco as this will vary greatly with variety and soil, but should be done when there is enough “button” to get hold of. 2. Priming,topping and snekering should not be done during a rain or When the plant is covered with dew, for rust inva riably results. 8. A hot sunlight in the middle of the day will burn the leaves, therefore the plant should not be left in the field be tween 10:30 a. m. and 2:30 p.m., for be fore or after those hours the sun is very hot. RUST IN COTTON. To what is rust due? Common rust is due to the absence of potash in the soil and an additional amount of this element of plant food should be used. For land subject to mosaic or common rust the fertilizer should contain more potash than is usu ally placed in a commercial fertilizer. See that yon use a fertilizer with a largo per cent, of potash.
