the

pcrfcct sanitary regulations. Our
city is rapidly increasing in popula
tion, so it is hut a question of time
when sewerage will become a necessi
ty. We shonld think its establish
ment now would not only assist in
keeping the city freer from impurities;
but would aid materially in our
general development and growth.

GEORGIA’S WEALTH.
“In answer to the statement that
we are growing poorer each year,
Georgia's tax hook shows her to be
richer by one hundred and twenty-
three millions than she was nine years
ago.”
Tins is a most gratifying fact:
hut suggests reflections, which are not
so encouraging but which are of great
importance, viz : that the increase in
the wealth of Georgia is confined
largely to the cities and to certain
lines of industry.
The fact that the great agricultural
interests of Georgia are not prosper- c ' lse
ing as they should is too palpably true
to require argument. As a great
general rule our lands are becoming
poorer each year; our farmers arc be
coming disheartened and in but rare
instances arc losing money. There is no
use denying or concealing these facts,
it were better to admit them and sug
gest some remedy.
The saying of Gen. Toombs that
“every sun sets on a poorer Scutli,” is
as true today as when uttered, so far
a3 our lands and the farmer is con
cerned. There are exceptions to this
rule; but only enough to prove the gen
eral rule true. The farmer comes from
his home, where he, with difficulty,
supports a meagre existence, to view
with mingled envy and pride the
great wealth-massing in the cities.
The depressed condition of the farmer
furnishes occasion for serious concern,
as agriculture is the basis of our
wealth, and sooner or later affects
every line of business in the South.
At another time we will endeavor
to make suggestions 'ooking to an im
provement in the condition of our
farmer classes.

FARMER TALKS-
Baxnkk-^Vatchman : The combi
nation of the cotton buyers of Athensf
to claim deduction for any excess of
bagging over seven yards on a bale of
cotton, would be well enongh, perhaps,
we e they to combine as readily to
protect the poor farmer as they havu
done to oppress him, and your edito
rials on the same subject are also un
just to the farmer. lie is indirectly
charged with fraud, and yet the fact,
well known to the cotton buyers of
Athens, is withheld from the public,
that six per cent of th<- gross weight,
of every bale of cotton is deducted
from the price paid by them to cover
the weight of bagging and ties—
which amounts on average to 28 lies
per bale, tare, which at 9 cts. per lb.
is $2.52. Now see what the bagging
and ties will bring the farmer. 7
yards bagging and ties will weigh
about IS lbs. nt 9 cts. per lb. amounts
to $1.G2, leaving a loss of 90 cts per
bale, or 10 lbs. of cotton to the farmer,
which on a crop of 0,000,000 bales
amounts to more than five millions of
dollars. Now, I ask, who has been
defrauded, the farmer or the manu
facturer/ Fa it.MF.it.
The above is unjust to our cotton
men. In the circular referred to, the
cotton 1 -ivers simply voiced the sen-
Vvhat a speaking contrast to the
Jacksonville of but a few weeks past,
when the Sub Tropical was in full
bloom and the whole city, assisted by
thousands of visitors, was in high glee
of rejoicing in the remarkably beauti
ful exposition of the rich tropical re
sources'of the peninsular. The gay
hunting and the floating flags of
America are now replaced with cloth
of black and flags of gloom und death.
Above the dark, sail scene, however,
arises the star of Hope and dose be
side it Love sits enthroned. But
few more days and the murderous
plague must yield to the course of
nature. In the mean time Love is
there with its soothing, healing
power. Husband sacrifices life for
wife; wife for husband; parent for
child; child for parent. The many
instances of self-sacrificing devotion
developed by this trying ordeal are
beautiful and cnnoblingto our nature.
For instance; “when Robert Grace,
the brave watchman of the Sub Tropi
cal, fell ill, he went immediately to
Hi. Mitchell’s office and stated his
The doctor diagnosed it. “You
have yellow fever, for certain,” said
he, “and you shonld go to the Sand
Hills at once, but you can go liomo
and bid your wife good-bye, if you de
sire, first.”
The strong man grew faint a mo
ment, then straightened up and with
a long breath said calmly, “No, I am
ready to go at once. If I went home
I might carry the deadly infection to
m v dear ones.”
He went to the hospital, obeyed the
doctor’s most minute orders, and as a
result was discharged two days ago.
Mrs. Grace is down. Dr. Sollace
Mitchell says that she emulated her
husband s bravery and self-denial.
Slie was out nursing, and slic sent for
Dr. Mitchell, and lie found that she
was attacked by the scourge and
informed her. With a woman’s hero
ism, she had him send for the ambu

semling a message of love and fare
well to her husband. Site bad a iif
teen year old daughter at home, and
she said that she would not bid her
farewell for fear of carrying the infec
tion to her.”
This rob'lity of soul, this pure de
votion for a loved o le’s welfare, this
outburst of the God in man is the
golden border to the dark cloud of sor
row that now broods over Jackson
ville. Long after the dark liued bird
of death, now fed by the fatal disease,
shall have taken its flight from Jack
sonville, the many instances of hero
ism and love displayed by her peo
ple will be Sold in song and story and
will be a richly merited tribute to

A peculiar agitation is in progress
in Minnesota. Certain women in
that State are attempting to have a
law passed compelling a man to de
clare his intentions within lour weeks
after paying his first visit to a young
woman. This is an age ot explana
tions. Why should not the visiting
man do his part. An occasional in
vitation to family consultation would
likewise save such frequent recourse
to the piano.

CLEVELAND’S MANLINESS.

of yesterday the Canadian Council is
thoroughly aroused over President
Cleveland's retaliatory message. The
council was divided as to the probable

in the council as to wb.it measure
Canada should adopt.

As to the G per cent, tare—the cot
ton buyers in Athens have as little to
do with that as the farmers. It is a
necessary evil just as the wrapping on
all the goods you buy. It is the
farmers’ and not the factors’ business
to remove or reduce as much as jiossi-
blc this tare.' The excessive use of
bagging is one reason for its being as
large as it is. The ultimate effect of
a persistence in this practice would
be to seriously injure Athens as a
cotton market, so the farmer would
be the loser in the end. We dare spy
Augusta or any other market would
protest against such practice. Charles
ton, Augusta, Savannah, and, in fact,
no first class cotton market, will allow
this excess of bagging and pay the
full price for cotton.
