FOREIGN CAPITAL.
The axe is already beginning to
fall on Georgia farmers who bor
rowed money from those foreign
companies, and the judgments are
each week increasing. There is no
appeal from these demands, and
judgments are always given by de
fault. The land will be advertised
and sold to the highest bidder, and
the farmer owner must seek a home
elsewhere. The borrower is not
only required to repay the princi
pal, with usurious interest, but at
torney's fees and costs of court.
When all these expenses are taken
out, it requires only a few hundred
dollars to eat up a valuable planta
tion in live years. For a farmer to
buy provisions from even our home
merchants at "time prices” is bad
enough; but it is a hundred times
saler and better than falling into
the talons of these foreign vultures
And again, if a farmer will but con
sent to make his merchant as sale
as he is required to do these loan
companies, he can purchase his sup
plies at a reasonable advance on
ersh prices. He will then, too.
meet his obligations annually, and
the whole burthen of five years will
not fall on him at one time. A far
mer hail far better plow a billy goat,
and live on blackberries and pet-
simmons, than mortgage his land to
borrow money from one of these
foreign companies. At the expira
tion ot five years he is sure to he
sold out o£ house and home. Not
one planter in an hundred will be
able to repay the money by the re
turns of his farm. If you aie oblig
ed to have cash, sell olT enough
land to firing the amount you need
if oniv ’5 cents per acre is realized.
This is better than losing your all.
It our farmers are wise, they will
avoid these foreign loan companies
as they would an epidemic.
CLEAR CASK OF SORK-IIKAD.
Convict labor.
We are glad to bee that the new
Stone Mountain Granite Company
has set the state ot Georgia a good
example by dismissing its convicts
Ex-Gov. Smith’s self-inaugurated
campaign against everybody that
wanted to curtail the arbitrary pow
ers of the Railroad Commission,
and his miserable attempt to array-
labor ami capital against eacii
other, will die still-born, lor the
public lias sense enough to know
that the ex-Governor’s harrange is
but the wild raging of angered, dis
appointed and displaced office-hold
er. We think it very bad taste, in
deed, in ex-Gov. Smith to take the
position that he does, for it is but a
public proclamation of the tact that
he is.still chafing under defeat. But
simply because this gentleman has
grievances against Gov. McDaniel
for removing and mortifying him.
that is no reason he should go to
the extreme lengths of endangering
the peace, order and prosperity of
the state by appeals and language
calculated, and doubtless intended,
too, to create bitterness and strife
between the classes in Georgia. It
is unauthorized and outrageous and
we are surprised at the e.\-Govern-
or. At this particular time, of all
others, it is the duty of every good
citizen to pour water upon the trou
bled waters between labor and cap
ital. and thus save Georgia from the
trials that the North and West are
now experiencing; but here we see
a man that has been so highly hon
ored by his people, repaying them
by casting the apple of discord in
the midst of men who are now at
peace. As to that bill modifying
the railroad commission, it was de
feated by appeals to the prejudices
of certain people against the
railroads. The defeat of the bill
was not credit to the members who
voted against it.
It is related of » shrewd
mill man in Maine that
when asked whether the Knights
of Labor affected his business un
favorably, he answered: “Oh, no;
not at all. When they wanted to
start a lodge incur town I joined it
with all my overseers, and we are
running it in a very satisfactory-
manner for all hands.” We know
an Athens manulacturer who tried
this game, but he found the portals
blockaded against him.
THE NEGRO AND THE SOUTH.
A gentleman who has just re
turned from an extended trip over
the North, says the Southern peo
ple don’t know how to perfectly
appreciate the negro as a farm la
borer and a domestic; that after he
saw the trouble and strife in t|ie
North and West, and the uncer
tainty that surrounded every busi
ness, he felt that he had reached an
Eden of peace and quiet on landing
in old Georgia. While Cuffee has
his failings, he is the best and cheap
est labor the South can get, and
even were it possible to rid the
country of this race, it would be a
sad mistake on the part of the
whites 10 do so. The trouble with
•wr farmers is not so much the fault
ol the negro, as the laetthat it is
hatd lor them to get out of their old
ante-bellum ruts, when labor was
counted as nothing and noeflort
was made at improving the fields.
Our farmers, instead of working
five acres to grow one bale of cot-
ion, should so prepare the land as
to make two bales on one acte,
and the same increase in the other
crops. It is just as easy to work an
acre of land that will produce 1,000
pounds of lint cotton, as an acre
that can grow tco pounds. The
negro is an imitator of the white
man, and when he sees his former
master or landloid scratching over
avast surtar.e of ground, that can
onlv produce stunted crops, it is
natural that Cuffee will go and do
likewise, only a little more so. To
improve the negvo the white farm
er must first improve himself. Ex-|
ample with this race is everything, a U. S. senator to
Intensive farming can be the only
-alvation of our agriculturists. Sell
off y our surplus lands and pay your
debts, and then what you do culti
vate let it be thoroughly done. You
can hire two negroes forless than One
imported white laborer wi£J cost you
and you can find plenty of darkeys,
too, who will do as much work as
any one. By reducing the area
cultivated, our planters can let the
black drones and idieis go, and
hunger will son force them to
terms. By intensive farming, you
wages of hands can be raised, and
whenever you increase the pay of
any class of laborers you benefit all
around them. So long as our far
mers persist in "butchering” their
fields they will grow poorer and
poorer, and the negro more thrift
less.
THE KNIGHTS AND GEORGIA.
IN A CYCL IN'E’8 TRACK.
Tito Northern Pars or Chatham County
• Swept hy a Tornado.
SATinnah News.
Reports from the northern por-
and employing free labor in their Chatham county say's that a
violent tornado or cyclone passed
through that section last Saturday
tffternoon. Trees were torn up,
fences scattered, and some cabins
demolished, but no lives have been
reported as lost.
stead. While we have opposed
the policy of shutting up our crimi
nals in prison walls, to be support
ed in comparative idleness by the
toil of honest ruen, at the same time
we contend that it is not right that
they ^tould be brought in compe
tition with free labor, and thus en
able one man to underbid another
on work. Our policy has always
been for the state to distribute the
convicts among the counties, where
they can be utilized in working
roads, building bridges or on other
public tasks th-A will not conflict
with the wages of honest laborers
and mechanics. The mere pittance
that Georgia is given each for her
criminals is but a drop in the till,
while often they ate used to de
prive free labor ol its just rewards
and keep good men out ol work
The only gainers are the lessees.
Now, if these convicts were kept
on public works every citizen would
receive his just proportion of the
piofits. Hensc we see Senator Jo
seph E- Brown discharging every
month free labor from his Dade
coal mines and supplying their
places with convicts. Is this right?
Does it not out an honestjworking
man on the same footing as a con
demned felon, and forces him to
work at wages, to compete with
this convict, that are less than the
worth of his labor? And then lor
be engaged
such a business is a reflection upon
the party that placed him in power
and the state of Georgia
The aged spinster, Miss Betsy
Cleveland, is said to be the power
behind the throne in the White
House.* She is trying to rule the
democratic party just as she did the
children in the free school over
which she once presided.
The democrats have Governors in
22 states. They have Governors
in all the sixteen Southern states
and in New Y’ork. Pennsylvania,
California, New Jersey and Ne
vada.
An exchange prints a large cut
of a black bottle which it calls Gen.
Sherman’s greatest enemy. It is,
however, onlv a bottle ot ink.
During the sickness of Speaker
Catlisle, Mr. Mr. Crisp, of Georgia,
becomes speaker pro tern, of the
house. Mr. . Carlisle had better
watch out. Gen. Phil Cook made
Mr. Crisp what he is, and left him
to watch over his interests while in
congress. When the General came
back Crisp had worked himself into
his benefactors shoes. We had as
soon handle a frozen rattlesnake in a
warm room as Congressman Crisp.
Gladstone’s Irish land bill con
tains a proviso that it shall not take
effect until the home rule becomes
n law. Tlie proposition to buy out
the landlords ol Ireland at an esti
mated cost of $ 1,000,000,000 is a
rather startling one, and is enough
to make the English people hesi
tate, especially as they are at pres
ent carrying an immense load of
debt.
While the North and West are
now in an eruption with labor, and
business is paralyzed and even the
safety of many cities threatened,
only an echo of the storm can ever
reach Georgia. For once, our lack
of development proves a shield to
those who dread strife and discord.
Our’s is an agricultural population,
ar.d there is no necessity of such a
prnple striking except with the hoe
and against the grass. If they ate
dissatisfied with their wages as
hirelings, broad fields await them
which they can rent, and farm 00
their own account. The epidemic
of strikes now sweeping over the
North will probably reach our few
mills and shops, hut little trouble
will be occasioned, as the question
of wages and work hours will by
that time have been seftled, and
the proprietors will only have to
regulate their terms by their North
ern competitors. Increased wages
will demand increased prices for
the products of the factories, shops
and mines. So the only sufferers
from this labor agitation will he the
consumers; and as increased wages
and prices always bring renewed
prosperity, even our agricultural
population will indirectly be bene
fited. When goods and wages are
high the country is generally pros
perous; but when everything is at
the bottom notch and wage-workers
paid barely enough to exist on, then
we see hard times. With our enor
mous crops for several years past
and the active demand for all man
ner of products of the mills, the
shops and the mines, we see no just
reason why everything should not
he on a boom. The present strug
gle between labor and capital can
not last always, and when every
thing has been regulated and set
tled, we look for a new dawn of
prosperity. There is not the slight
est need for any of our citizens to
be alarmed about the Knights, lor
there is hut little in Georgia that
their power can reach.

Mr. A. C. Ulmer, of this city,

just succeeded in getting out of the
cyclone’s track in time to miss be
ing caught. He and his wife and
child left Savannah in the after
noon. to visit Mr.George F. Keller,
12 miles from the city near Gen.
Harrison’s eld place on the M011-
teilh road, and about 5:30oclock he
heard a roaring noise similar to a
Main of cars in motion, and in the
direction of the Central railroad.
The noise kept increa-ing and
approaching toward him lltfough
the woods. The road at this point
passes hy a field on the left ot Mr.
Ulmer, and npon looking in tile di
rection of the nui-e. saw in the skirt
of woods beyond the field, about a
quarter of a mile from him an in
tensely black, funnel-shaped cloud

fast as he could in the direction |
from which he had come, lie had
got only a few-yards when the cv-
clone toie across the spot in the
road where he had turned. Many
ol the fence rails were blown 300
feet from where the fence stood.
The laigest pine trees were eith
er uprooted or twisted off, and, thr
grassand small growth was mashed
as flat as though it had.been rolled
with a heavy toller. The course ol

its track was about 100 lardt in

known of in that neighborhood is
in ttie settlement of Mr. Frank Cole,
which wes completely wrecked,
nothing being left to mark the spot
where it once stood save the debr 1
and the fallen shade trees. Not a
home was spared. There were on
ly three persons on the place at the
time, and although the houses were
blown away from over them still
they escaped unhurt with the ex
ception of a few slight bruises.
A special dispatch to the News
from Biackshear states that a cy
clone passed through the lower end
of l*,erce County Saturday after
noon, destroying everything in its
path. It completely demolished all
of the houses on two farms, killing
several head of cattle and nog- and
severely injuring a boy. No loss
