From Tha Breeze:

Every democratic candidate for
county officers in White county
•lections, was defeated last week.
While tho defeat was humiliating
to n certain extent, we know just
where to place tho blame. We
started out wrong, wo*enginoored
badly, and Anally, we were! be
trayed by more than one of tho
most trusted and influential men
in our ranks. Devotion to princi
ple was too often sacrificed to
personal prejudice or pe
cuniary interest, for us to succeed
when tho odds were ns eloso as it is
known thev aro iu White county.
We accept the defeat in the best
possible grace (which is bad
enough) and trust to the Lord
and our newly elected oflfeers to
keep our county clear of mort
gages, murder, mud-dogs and
other attendant evils, and to see
that the laws are properly execu
ted and justice done to all alike.
Tho hist political battle for two
years to come, has been fought
and decided. Now, lot us come
together in harmony, grounding
our arms in peace, and pull all as
one man, for a new era of pros
perity. Drop a kindly word of
advice, whore you see your neigh
bor going in the Wrong direction,
whether it bo in the way he plows
his field, or cares for his family,
or worships his God.
The past vein of political strife
has engendered bitterness and
hatred; it has estranged friends;
it has broken the confidence that
existed between father and son,
brother and brother. Go to
work now, and apply tho salve
of mutual forgiveness to these
sore places; forget the bickerings
and back-bitings of the past, and
lay your plans for a bountiful
harvest in peace and prosperity
for tho future.
The Moon.
The moon is popularly suppos
ed to he constructed of cheese in
a highly immature state—the
veracity of which supposition, we
aro unprepared to contradict.
The moon is possessed of some
wonderful pecularitics, among
which is the fact that it is inhab
ited by only one man. That is
supposed to bo the reason
young girh get struck on the
tnooii.
Another and by no means the
least of the moons peculiarities, is
tbe fact that it shiues. More, in
sonic places, and In others, con
siderably less. Not only docs
moonshine vary in quantity and
locution, but in quality there is
perhaps a taster difference, than
either of the former two. North
east Georgia, and White county,
is one of the fuvored spots of the
moon. Moonshine, flowing in
crystal wavelets, floods our whole
mountain region at times when
thick, murky clouds overspread
the other portions of country.
This is more noticeable about
Christinas and election days than
at any other period of the year.
It sometimes proves dangerous,
and those who revel too freely in
its silver waves, very often go
liome-aiid apply u bread poultice
to the bruised spot. Moonshine
generally creates an appetite for
salt mackerel for breakfast, and
enlarges the size of the lint-bund
very considerably. II. II. McG.

BDITORAL CHAT.
We are thankful to our friends
for their expressions of condolence
with us iu our recent defeat, and
trust they will take no ofl’enso if
we suggest that in tho future
they send tneir regrets iu the
shape of one. dollar subscriptions
to the paper.
* * *
Wo are especially fond of this
kind of a letter: A friend writes
that be couldn’t send us any of his
darned socks, for he needed them
ail, and no corn.liquor, for ho and
liia wife had consumed all their
stock, in conquering stubborn
colds; so, ho inclosed that which
he trusted (and right lie was)
would prove a satisfactory substi
tute for either. It was u cash
subscription.
* * •
Another friend of ours, drops
us a postal and tells us, ou no
condition to stop his paper be
cause liis time is out, for he “can’t
do without it,” and—tells us
where to go to get the necessary.
« « •
But friends like these are few,
and rare as gems amongst peb
bles. Still the finding of one,
now and then, fills our heart with
rejoicings, that they are not all
pebbles.
• • *
Men and friends like these are
an advantage to any section of
country in which they live. They
are of a different tribe to those,
who wishing us well in reality,
do but damn our efforts by their
pernicious commendation of “Oh!
a newspaper is a good thing to
have in the county and ought to be
supported and patronized, but—”
and, he huts and buts until
wo feel sure the Lin'd put his legs
on the wrong end.

COMMISSIONER NESBITT’S
Monthly Talk With the Farmers
of Georgia,
Mutters of Oeneral Interest to tli* Farmer.
Tits following extracts from tlio
exchanges of the Department of nj?ri-
ciilturu, (lo wo bnliove contain sound
advice and information of value to
farmers.
cisrvitit as a ntiiTil.iZBR, suited best
TO MIDDLE AND NOUTII OKOItOIA'
Tho clovpr plant yields tho nicest ma
nures, and that is the stuff that most
farmers most need. (Hover gives good
wheat, erfrn. meat., milk anil tho cheapest
ntid host of nil fertilizers. Wheat and
clover should take the place of woods
and sassafras bushes.
I look lmclt over fifty years, ami make
a note of the fact that tho farms of this
locality on which clover lias been grown
with the greatest regularity, are today
Uio farthest from exhaustion. Clover is
such a help in solving tint problem of
uvailflble planlfood. that l believe it to
bo a work of benevolonco to help in the
management of it.
Thero is one blunder, almost universal,
which I believe largely red aces the vnfno
of clover, both for feed, seed and fertility,
and this is tlio universal habit, of pastur
ing young clover ns soon ns the wheat is
ont of tho field, i do not think it is
even a wise policy to pasture for a
month or six weeks after harvest, and
boliove it better to lay down a rnlo ne :
to pasture the first full under any circn
stances. Thin rule I harp, folio
twonty years, and lxjUov]
been the gainer by it.
Ah a recapitulation
rather to enforce
with all smal
ofojjris t.xJollow f
it is the ohoapestSwny of fer
keeping your land clean at your commai
Do uot lie so greedy for ft little feed as
to pasture the young clover before it
hns made growtli enough to cover
tho laud,for by so doing you will in
the loud run have much less
feed and less benefit to the land. Re
member that a soil densoly shaded is
always improved, and that no other crop
you can grow will furnish as good shade
as clover.
HOW AND WHEN TO ROW CLOVER,
September is the best, month iu which
to sow clover; October is probably the
next bert,; if not sown before the last of
October it is better to wait until Feb
ruary. It. is not considered tho best
practice, by the most experienced clover-
growers in the southern border of the
clover-growing section, to sow the seeds
with small grain. Success is more
certain when clover is sown by itself or
with soma other grass, like orchard,
bluo grass, etc. If you sow in February
we would advise not to sow with oats or
other grain. There is no advantage to
be gained in breaking tho land earlier
than a week or two before so wing,unless
it mny bo necessary to break earlier in
order to get jt into good condition, Tlio
soil should be well pulverized and har
rowed smooth. Sow about twelve
{ .omuls of clover seed per acre, if sown
)V itself; if with orchard grass, uso
eight or ten pounds of clover and one
and one half bushels of orchard grass
seed. While the surface is mellow and
fresh from recent harrowing, mix the
clover seed with ashes or sifted soil, or
with a good fertilizer, and sow half one
way and half the other, so as to got a
uniform distrilmtionr, then sow the
orchard gross, or other grass seed, in tho
same way. No covering, by plow.brush,
or harrow, is necessary, the next rain
will cover sufficiently. If tho soil is not
rich enough to bring a half a bale of
cotton, or twenty-live bushels of corn
per acre, it would bo well to fertilize it,
using not less than two hundred pounds
of good amu’oniateil phosphate.
FARMING A SCIENCE.
Farming is a real science, and not
mere plowing and dropping seed in the
ground; any negro can do that, but to
sow and plow with judgement, to under
stand the law of nature, a«d to tako
advantage of tlieso laws means success.
When a farmer says—“it is too much
trouble, I have not tho time," 1 know
how to gage bis judgement. Whatever
will give or advance prosperity in any
business, there is always a time to do
thgt thing.
adopt business methods.
Of many remedies one worth trying is
business. That old saw, business is
business, contains a world of meaning:
it is fully of sound common sense.
Every former ought to be a first-rate
business man. In this age be must be
or he will fail as sure ns fate. Show mo
a farmer who has no head for business
and you will point to a man who is on
the road to ruin.
But what do wo mean by first-rate
business man f Is tho farmer who pro
duces abundant crops, of the best quality,
at the least cost, a good business man?
Not necessarily; suehnmanis undoubte
dly a good farmer; but ho might be at
the same time a poor business man.
There are a large number of farmers
in the country who year after year pro
duces abundant crops, of the best quality
ami at the least cost, and yet grow
whnt quantities, when shall it be pro
duced and how, when, where and for
whnt price, and to whom shall it be
sold?
WIIY nor RAISE YOUR OWN WORK
ANIMALS.
The following from The Southern
Cultivator shows that at 8 cents per
pound, Georgia pays 100,000 bales of
cotton for horses and mules. Can our
farmers prosper and pursue thin course?
“A careful estimate reveals tbe fact
that most of the counties in middle
Georgia have for long years, paid, in
actual cash, from eighteen to thirty
thousand dollars, annually, for mules
and horses brought from the west.
Striking a low averago from tho entire
State, we find between, three ami four
million dollars taken from tin state for
stock that could be raised for a nominal
sum upon our own fields. What stup
endous folly, when it is conceded o:i nil
hands that our stock can bo raised at
less cost than in the markets from
which we buy. Grass grows ils freely;
our soil produces foruge us abundantly;
our winters are far less rigorous and
the necessary case, therefore, less ex
pensive. Every tiling is favorubln to
tho enterprise; wisdom and economy
urgo the undertaking. Every farmer
should raise, at least, tho stock needed
upon his farm. It greatly helps the
general good to hold annual ci.lt shows,
both ns an evicenco of progress and an
enconragemeut to others.
USE MORE FERTILIZERS.
The farmers of tho sontli do not use
enough mnnure, or to state it in a dif
ferent form, they take from the soil
every year very much more than they
return to it in tnannre. It is easy to
show, that fertilizers pay better divi
dends than any other investment on tlio
farm. Tho conclusion is irresistible that
we should use more fert-'lizers ; not com
mercial or bought fertilizers alone, but
home manures, composts, green crops
turned under, marls, etc., everything
that will add more to the yield of the
grop than the copt of its application.
To have an "abundance of stable or
barnyard manures there must be an in
crease in the number of animals fed.
This gives diversity to tho farm and in
creases I ho s.rtfrces ofjncome. A well
fed cow will dptrly pay for her keep in
pismire, besides a good profit on tbe
flutter sold anOfeonsuinetl.
“For tho past two or three
years I have been subject to
cramping pains in the stomach,”
says Mr. W. A. Baldwin, a hard
