THE JACKSON ECONOMIST.
VOL. VII.
Our Trip West.
L-~ .
I have beeu asked so often in regard
omv trip West, what I thought of the
country etc. I have decided to give a
short sketch of my travels.
to previous arrangements,
prof. J- B. Vaughan, of Elberton, Geor
gia and I left for Texas the 10th of No
vember, and landed in Tyler, Texas on
the 13th. For three week3 we travelod
1Q a hack over Smith, Vanzaul, Wood
and Hopkin counties, singing and sell
ing books; also soliciting pupils for the
Normal Music school, which we taught
at Mt. Sylvan, in December. I saw
much more traveling by private con
veyance than I would had I traveled
altogether by rail.
In the short time I stayed in Texas,
(4 months) I saw a portion of twelve or
fifreen counties, some in the timbered
part of the state, and some prairie.
Much of the timbered land looks very
much like some portions of Georgia.
The growth is mostly post oak, hickory
and D lack jack. Almost every kind of
shrubery is to be found. North East
Texas is a great fruit section. The land
is sandy and easily cultivated. Peach
es, Strawberries, Pears, cantiloupes etc.,
are the maine productions. The tim
bered lands are very rough to cultivate
for a few years, owing to roots and
stumps.
I made a run to Jacksonville, Palis
tine and to Buffalo. Buffalo is in Leon
county south of the Sabine river. The
country is brushy, low and looks to be
poor. This section is called East Mid
dle, Texas. The black laud is prairie,
it is very fertile and is owned by the
wealthy class. It is all under fence.
One cau travel all day and never get
out of a lane. The prairie looks lone
gome aud distant. I don’t think any
oue used to a timbered country would
like it at first.
The black land is no good for fruits
or vegetables, but is the home of corn,
wheat, oats and cotton. I think neatly
every farmer, with whom I made any
acquaintance, keeps too much stock;
hence I saw a great many sorry horses
and herds of cattle. Bat I mast hasten
on. <
The citizens are alive to the interest
of public schools. The system there is
much ahead of oar system, and if one
goes to Texas thinking he will find poor
society, poor schools and a lack of inter
est in eclesiastical work, ho will cer
tainly be disappointed. I met many
people while in the state, did a vast
amount of teaching—had fine schools
and good talent.
The winter was severe, this caused me
nmch inconvenience, yet I worked
nearly all the time from the time I land
ed iu Texas until I left the state.
Money there is more plentiful per
haps, than here, at any rate the people
have more to live on, aud can spend
their cash for other than things to eat.
The water was plentiful while I was
there, but I fear this would be my main
objection to the state, the like of water.
The farmer doe3 twice as much work
to make a crop here as the farmer does
in Texas. The work that it takes to
terrace and keep up the terraces, the
extra work to put in fertilizer, is as
much as is done to make a crop in
Texas. We make as much per acre in
Georgia as is made in Texas, (on an
average) but it takes twice as mnch
labor and double expense. Wages there
we much better than here. Form
hands get from sl2, to $lB, per month,
and board. My friend ask me is Tex
as good as Ga,?l am a Georgian, and
this is not a fair question. Ido not be
*ieve any Georgian can go to Texas,
and judge that state righteously.
Mfishaess, or state pride, lurks in the
bosom of every true sou of Georgia. I
did all I coulu to make an unbiased
comparison between that state and this,
Intl am not sure I did it. We will
sacrifice much, under so many hard
ships, put up with numerous inconven
-1 j ncies just to hold on to a little place
home in Georgia. I saw hun
' rods of acres of beautiful land it Texas
oat would make a moddle farm, far
niore fertile than much of our land, but

ANOTHER CASE OF RHEUMATISM
CURED BY CHAMBERLAIN’S PAIN
BALM.
My son was afflicted with rheumatism
which contracted his right limb until
he was unable to walk. After using
one and a half bottles of Chamberlain’s
Paim Balm he was able to be about
again. I can heartily recommend it to
persons suffering from rheumatism.—

Where Is Reform to Begin?
Mr. Editor:—l with all the rest of
mankind, long for reform on all lines
but where and how will it begin? I
know what a man of my littleness says
will not go far, bat I write in the
hope that some man of some notoriety
may say something that will get the
people to think and act on the principle
I strike at.
Men of all political parties talk reform
and profess to be great friends of re.
form profesedly, but practioally they
are monopolists
Now there is a great fuss made on
land monopoly and at the same time all
monied men of all political parties are
baying every acre they can get and I
don’t think there is now or ever will
be any law by legislation by any party
to prohibit men from buying any thing
that is for sale if they have the money
to pay for it.
Someone of some notoriety has sug
gested that an extra tax be levied on all
land over a certain number of acres,
that number being fixed by law. Yon
cau see at once that wouldn’t do. for *0
soon as that was done the land lord
would exact a larger per oent of the
crop of the renter to-meet the extra tax
so that the burden would fall on the
renter after aIL So it seems to me
that human nature is such a mystery
that only God can solve it.
Every fellow wants the other fellow
to reform and economize, and him mo
nopolize.
The farmer wants his farm products
high and merchandise low and the
merohant wants his goods high and
farm product low. When a farmer has
corn or meat to buy it is so high he
thinks it will ruin him to pay the price,
but if he has a little to sell the price is
always below the cost of production.
The farmer will give the merchant hale
Columbia for his overbaring time price,
but if he has a little ooru or meat to sell
to his brother farmer on time he will
tell you to take it along he don’t know
what it will be as the time price hasen’t
opened and after cursing the other fel
low for his high prices, he will put his
with the highest time price fixed by the
merchant and tell you he can’t do any
better and that is customary, but still
he is a great advocate of reform. If he
would leave off the “tomary” aud just
put it “ous” he would hit the nail on
the head.
I just mention these things to show
the trend of things. Now if I have any
thing to sell I know what it cost if
bought, or if 1 produce it I know pretty
well what it cost. Therefore I know
what I can afford to sell at regardless
of what other people do.
Now Mr. Editor you may see things
different to what I do, bat until people
get it iu their hearts to do the right
thing in the love and fear of God and
love for humanity, we may send demo
crats, republicans or populists to legis
late for us, things will go from bad to
worse as it has beeu for nothing but the
grace of Gou will ever bring the reform
we need.
I don’t blame no man for buying
laud or any thing else he wants to for
a reasonable profit. But I do think it
wrong to buy it and hold it out of reach
of those who need it because they were
not fortunate enough to have the money
to bny when it was put on the market,
Now I give you a little circnrastance
that illustrates wnat I chink would
brine at out • • -ou; r-lorniu-ior . A i
certain fanner went to a merchant to
bay supplies for his cropper, the merch
ant being eager to get his trade, aud
for fear he would miss it and some oth- y
er man get it, told the man if he would
buy from him he would sell him the
supplies so he could make teu per cent
off of his cropper to put in his own
pocket, but he dropped his caudy right
there. The good man told him if he
could sell him the goods so he ooald
make ten per oent he could as well af
ford to give it to the poor fellow m he
was the one that needed it so he
wouldn’t bny from him at all. That
man had the right spirit in him..
For fear I over fill the waste basket I
quit. A P. Stewart.

THBKM-Wltt EDITION-
Practically a Daily at the price of a
Weekly.
The striking and important events of
the last year have established the over
whelming value of The Thrice-a Week
World to every reader. For an almost
nominal sum it has kept its subscribers
informod of the progress of all our wars
and, moreover, has reported them as
promptly and fully as if it were a daily.
With our interests still extending
throughout the world, with our troops
operating in the Philippines, and the
great Presidential campaign, too, at
hand, its value is further increased.
The motto of The Thrice-a-Week
World is improvement. It strives each
year to be bettor than it was the year
before, aud public confidence in it is
shown by the fact that it now circulates
more than twice as many papers every
week as any other newspaper, not a
daily, published in America.
We offer this unequaled newspaper
and The Economist together one year
for $1.50
