oupi |MHB|gRK South Georgia’s Claims. Mr. Moran, of the Constitution, who recently veiled ibw- section, ti*s this to ear *b«ui the political out'-oob in '-South Georgia: Certain it is, from tny conversation with leading men all ihrotfgh this ■90tion, that Colonel Mitchell baa a firm place in the hearts of the people. Not as a politician, ior be is far re moved from that, though he has, on oocaiion, rendered, effective service to the people in the legislature.. Not as a veteran of the confederacy, though for four years he did a soldier’s duty with rare courage and daring. Not as a lawyer, though be has long stood at the head of the bar. Not for any of theae things, but for that all around ^character which makes him the peo ple’s leader, equally in war and peace, a wise counselor iu the halls of state, and an upright citizen in the private walks of life. There lives not a men here whom Colonel Mitchell has ever asked for office, neither Iive3 there here a man who would not williogly vote to place him in any c fflce the world has to give. And thus the peop!e of this section talk. Attention has been drawn to the fact that South Georgia has not famished a governor to the state io many years. So long has this been the case, in fact, that a spirit of sore* ness prevails that they are beiog treated as an outlying province. To one who has traveled over the rich fields of this section of the state, and looked into the eyes of its sturdy yeo manry, it is patent that an injustice has been done them, and that in the making of a state ticket they should Dot be ignored. In a spirit of scif- assertion they are claiming the gover norship this time, and the attention which is being directed toward Colonel Mitchell is a tribute to that gentle man, and not at all of his seeking. In fact, it is simply because he stands as did Saul, high above the shoulders of his brethren that he thus becomes prominent. Four Pulled Out.

Charleston, S. C. t Oct. 12.—The West Indian cyclone is on here. Wires are going down to the south ward and are in troub'e to the north ward. At this writing the win.l is blowing iu great gusts at forty to forty-five miles an hour. There is as yet no damage except the wrecking of telephone and electric light wires. Tnree tides have been banked up, and at midnight it is expected that unless the wind shifts around to the southwest, the eastern, southern western portions of the city will be under water. Neither of the Clyde steamers duo to-day has arrived. At 7 o’clock to-night it looks like a repetition of the cyclone of August last.

The approaching session of the leg Ulature will be a busy oLe. Among the most important matters that sbou'd receive its attention is the revision of the penal statutes of the state.

Uuless some steps are taken, and taken very soon, to clear up the un certainty hanging about financial legislation in Washington, it would not be surprising to see a renewal of the late panic.

Department of Agiucultuk”, Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 1; 1893. Cotton picking is now the all-absorb ing work, but there are other duties be longing to this season, which, if a differ ent system were -adopted, would be con sidered as important and command an equal share of attention. On most Geor gia farms this dnty of saving iite cotton takee precedence of and overshadows every other because of the large area de voted to this crop; because it is regarded as the only money crop of the south; be cause the farmer must hurry to get out enough to meet his obligations, now ma turing, and because, if left standing in the fields beyond a certain period, it sus tains irreparable injury from, wind and weather. It ia not, therefore, to be won dered at that other duties must lie in abeyance; that the fall preparation and fall crops are generally neglected, and also that mnch cotton is forced on tho market which could otherwise quietly await favorable prices. LET US CONSIDER this question. Bupposo overy Georgia T5 aivissri Oorcre, oven m tnuso f where wheat is not a paying crop, each fanner sltould sow to supply his family, and. this with the -improvement to his land. yriU reconcile him to the work. The follow ing on. wheat, - which I quote from a valued exchange, so clearly and forcibly treats of. this subject that I feel it can not lio improved upon: - ‘•\Vfiafc fanners need to learn in wheat growing districts is the great value of a regular rotation in which a leguminous crop immediately precedes tho wheat. Instead of putting wheat in roughly on corn ground with a sprinkling of fertil izer to make a crop and leave the land worse off, bow much better it would be to sov/ tho annual winter-growing crim son clover, with tho same amount of fer tilizer, among- the corn in August or September; let it be pastured whenever fit to l>e trodden in winter, and in May plow it under and sow the land in cow peas broadcast. The .result would be a “free silver” convention is to be held in At’aota in December. The following Associated Press Dispatch outlines its obiect: St. Louis, October 8.—The Post dispatch to day gives the oulliues of plau for a new national patty, the outgrowth of the Pan-American Bi metallic convention recently held h-ire. Free silver is to be the issue, aud it is hoped to draw all the free coinage supporters flora tbe old parties. A convention is to be held io Atlanta, Ga., in December, it ii said, when a permanent organization will be effected. Georgia democrat! will not bite at this bait. They will stand in the next campaign where they have stoqd s nee 1865, solidly for the regular nominees ot the democratic party. At tbe opening ot the all night 8 *wtnn in the Senate on Wednesday night Mr. Voorhees said: ‘Sir.

And tbe American yacht won, us it did in the two previous contests The last race was run in a driving wind, which swept along at the rate of 30 mike an hour. It was the c'osest of the series of races, the American yacht only crossing the line 40 seconds in ad vance of the British yacht. That was a close race tor a thirty mile course. The Savannah News of yesterday sad: According to the local forecast ol tbe weather observer Savannah and vicinity will have light Croat this morn ing in exposed places. If the weather co>ninues to grow cooler it will mean a general frost and early death to yellow jack. Secretary of the Interior Hoke Smith has pruned the fradulent pen sion roll until its estimates for the p- niions to be paid for the next fiscal year will be 83,000 000 lets than the sum asked for last year. Economy has bten enforced iu every depart ment of the Government since the Democratic party has had charge of affaire at Washington, but in no de partment has there been better work done on this line than in that over which Secretary Smith rules—Al bany Herald. Bishop Potter’s bunal reform asso ciation thinks that “earth to earth” style ot interment, which forms the basis of its creed, could be the better carried out by the use ot wicker burial cases. In the absence of such cases the society advises the use ol soft pine, which furthers rapid decomposition. The innovation agitated by the society may be in the line of advanced sanitary science, but it wUl be a long time before they are accepted by the masses. Yesterday’s dispatches from Wash ington looked like some compromise on the silver question wou’d be the oat come of the fight ever the ques tion. The people are growing restive under the.delay. Here is an item from the Albany Herald: It has been discovered that liquor was sent to South Carolina in coffins. Gov. Tillman’s spies regard this as a grave offense and will prosecute the perpetrators. Savannah took in her sails and prepared for the storm on Thursday night The storm spent, itself along the Florida coast before reaching Georgia. The blow was pretty heavy at Savannah but no damage was done. Memphis, Tenn., Oct 15.—A kill ing frost in this section last night did injury to crops and vegetation. The cotton crop will be cat short to per cent, and in low lands the top crop will be a failure. The printer who made an item read, “The Senate contains more distinguished jawyers” may not hare meant it, but he came nearer the truth than the editor, who intended the last word to read “lawyers.” The trains continue to run behind time. Under Jhe present arrangement and irregularities of the trams it re quires about two days to go from here to Savannah. big crop of pea vine hay for stock and mannro making, and a preparation for a wheat crop far more certain than the notoriously uncertain corn-ground- wheat. And - if you find it difficult to cure the pea-vines as hay, run thorn through the cutter when in full pod, and make the best ensilage that can he mode for cows.' With plenty of ensilage, clover hay and wheat straw, and plenty of good stock to eat them, the road to big wheat crops, rich land and indepen dence is open, and a farm enriched will always enrich the farmer as fast as a run-down farm will run him down.” Another subject very little understood and therefore very little practiced at the south is . FALL PLOWING.

Because I am more aud more im pressed with the importance of this bo well taken. But there are other and equally strong reasons for deep fall plow ing, more especially on our stiff red lands, which are only in rare instances thoroughly worked. Among these rea sons in favor of deep fall plowing are the following: Tho loosening, turning and airation of the subsoil; the preven tion of washing; the storing of moisture from tho winter rains, whieh, falling on unplowed laud, pass off, carrying with them much of the top soil; tho bringing to tho surface of the mineral elements, which are stored in sufficient quantities in all our lands, and for which, in the form of commercial phosphates and pot ash, we each year pay out large Bums. These locked up stores, to become avail able, must be brought to the surface and there combined with vegetable mat ter and fall under tbe direct action of the rains, the frosts and the atmosphere.

In the history of our agricultural country there have been three periods: First, the strictly pastoral 6tage, with only a sufficient area under cultivation ; to afford bread, the inhabitants depend ing on flocks and herds for sources of supply. As the population increased ana a more urgent necessity aroso for larger bread supplies the forests were felled, and, tho lands being fresh and filled with humus, a moderate applica tion of eneTgv caused tho yields from all crops to be abundant. The bams filled, cotton was king, tho farmers independent, and contentment marked the second era. But population has wonderfully increased, cultivated lands, after a long series of years in which everything has been done to deplete, belled, and wo find ourselves struj.. . against the third and perhaps most diffi cult era, in which our lands do not respond as formerly, and we aro com pelled, if we would realizo remunerative returns, to resort to some system of renovation and rotation. Even in the growing middle and eastern states the lands show such a marked declino that the farmers have been compelled to substitute other crops and turn their at tention to more careful systems of rota tion and cultivation. In many instances the framers, becoming discohragcd, have emigrated to the newer and more fertile the forests or bring under “cultivation the rolling prairies. In our own section, comparatively new, there are thousand* of acres once covered with magnificent forest growth, which from our prodigal use of their resources, and our want of care in preserving them against destruc tion, are practically abandoned, the gul lies widening and growing deeper witl every shower, and nearly every atom of available plant food either leached ont by winter rains or burnt out by our long summer suns. These bare lands are “wasting lands.” It has been proven in England by careful experiment that even a poor soil “without vegetation * annually by drainage nitrates mum nitrate.” left^bare, wastes by natural drainage that amount of this fertilizer per acre. What a powerful argument in favor of Covering these lands with some croi. peas, clover, rye, that will arrest this Waste, make some return for the labor WHBiiCi uuuw bumu iciuiu iui luo iooui and at the same time accumulate a sup ply of nitrogen for future crops. if you are unable to do thts at least cover it with Japan clover, that is in lo- S ties suited to clover, which will de ft nitrogen in the soil and hold it e for future) use. This plant will grow easily without care or attention, and, besides benefiting tho land, will furnish pasture for stock. I am aware this UPBUILDING is slow and tedious work, and that wo can only work on a limited area each year, but the era of exhaustion is upon us and we must meet it successfully or S to tho wall.

Rye and barley can be sown mnch later, and, wherever possible, heavy seedings of these should be put in.
