Weekly. $1 T. L. GASTT. 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. INTEMPERATE LANGUAGE. It is said that even Gen. Han cock’s insurance monev will go to pay obligations which he assumed to meet the demands of charity. John L. Sullivan has now become a Knight of Labor. John has made all of his wealth by successful strikes. port Mr. A. C. Ulmer, of this city, had a thiilPng experieuce, anil made a na row escape as he had 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 resting upon the earth and coming diicctly toward him. Upon seeing Ihis he turned around and drove as 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 the tornado was south of east, and its track was about 100 lardt in width. Nothing was spared in iis fuiy The only serious damage 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 of life has been reported. Edison Outwitted.

Two Little Children Killed hy the Flower In liwia county, Go.—A. Mother'i Lips Poi soned from Kissing Her Dying Child. Irwinton Southerner. It was a sad calamity which be fell the families of Mr. Milton Beall and Mr. Cummtngs Lindsey on last Thursday evening. These families live about three tniics from this place, and are near neighbors to each other. On 'hat unfortunate occasion the little five-year—old son of Mr. Brail was over at Mr. Lind sey’s at piav wi'lt his two children, of about the same age. The three wandered a short distance from the house, and during this sport one of them discoveted a wild jessamine vine w here swo'len buds indicated the early unfolding ol the golden petals. One rl the little boys ran to the vine exclaiming in childish glee that here was some “squashes” and began eating the buds. The others, imitating his example, also ate the burls. Tlt.v soon begin to teei the effects of tile deadly poison they had taken and stilted for the hott-e. Before titev reached it, they wete reeling and falling about. On coni ng into the presence of Mrs. Lindsey, her little son threw out his arms, and implored his mother to kiss him. She ptessed the dvi cln Ts lips, and so violent was the poi-ou, her own m mtli from the contact his been gteatly inflamed since. She culled to her husband, who was at work net far from th house, but before he itachcd it their child was still in death. Mr Beall was sent for, and he hurried to thi place fora plivsicitn. Dr. Simmon responded, but before they reached the bed-ide ot the litlle bov, he also was dead. Dr. Son.none promptly administered emetics to the other, (tile youngest) child, and succeeded in saving its life.

The bitter and intemperatespeech of Sam Jones in Milledgeviile, as we greatly feared, has defeated pro hibition in Baldwin county by a decisive majority. At one time even the liquor men there conced ed victory to the prohibitionists; but after Mr. Jones’ visit—when he stirred up so much bad blood —the result was changed. We con sider the election in Baldwin not so much a triumph for the liquor side as a rebuke to Mr. Jones. Some time since wc published that a leading prohibitionist from that section told us that Sam Jones’ speech would defeat their cause, and it proved true.
