There is large pofle in manufacturing the,seed here in the South, and there is larger profit In man ufacturing the lint here. If this were done the farmers would get much larger profits and at tbe same time thousands who cannot be profit- Coming Together. The people of Haralson county have made a wise move.

Atlanta Constitution. It is settled that our fruit crop will be a big one. Then, our food crops are coming along splendidly, and it ib a certainty that our farmers will have enough to eat. Economy has reduced, or at least checked indebtedness, and diversified agriculture will make the South com paratively independent, despite the low price of cotton. The situation is much brighter than it was a year ago. We are going to spend less money this year for western grain, and the fruit crop will draw quite a handsome pile of money down this way, especially for our p aches politic faith in the ranks. They have rarely asked political pre ferment, except to stand for minor of fices, but hav4 gracafu ly and cheerful ly supported ihs older leaders for all the more important positions of trust and honor. Tbe time has come, however, in our pol tical histcry when the preservation of Democratic supremacy depend, upon the younger m> n of the party. The breaches that have been made in the ranks of tbe party by the diBciples of Third party km have been filled by the yenrg Democrats of the state, and they have done valiant and p&'riotic service for Georgia at d Demoor&cy Upon their zeal, ability *nd activity largely rests the responsibility of rush ing out the compirac v that has been formed to disrupt the party.

The Third party men say the State Democratic convention stole their plat form and yet they are kicking like steers against it. The truth about it is that a great many of them just natur ally want to get out of the Democratic party. L Now that Georgia has spoken in con vention, let all differences be' adjusted, every little count—^with no new debts to worry u«, and with our cotton sur plus money crop with many of our farmers, it will be seen that the south has many blessings to be thankful for.
