This looks like flour ought to get cheaper. o It looks very much like the cotton manipulators and speculators are determined to keep cotton under 30 cents. It is clearly to the interest of every farmer to plant less cotton and more feed stuff. o- The news from Europe does not sound good to the ear for the past few days. o— We cannot always have things just to suit us, but the fellow who grunts the least generally fairs host.

THE WORK OF A GRAND JURY. The work of a grand jury is surrounded with many obstacles and difieultieswhieh makes it impossible sometimes to get at the bottom of things calling for investigation. Under the laws of our country, however, a grand jury is neces sary in every county for the purpose of exposing evil doers, ferriting out crimes and recommending those measures that are for the good of the general public. A lot of matter comes before this body of a trivial nature, as well as many things that are to he regretted, because good citizens are always pained to know there are persons in their county who wilful ly violate law, who disregard the qualifications of good citizenship and the betterment of society. It is an exceedingly dificult undertaking to locate all transgress ors, and frequently parties escape the punishmeht law-abiding citi zens demand, because of the almost seeming impossibility to obtain sufficient evidence to bring about a conviction. Asa result of this, it is often true that those violators who are most dangerous and harmful to society at large, whose transgressions are more far reaching in their evil effects go unpunished, while the violators of lesser crimes, who do not so much aitect and disrupt the morals and well fare of society in general are apprehended and brought before the bar of justice. Still the work of a grand jury is benificial in deteriiig those dis posed to ignore the obligations of good citizenship, and while these bodies may occasionally fail in duty, er in judgment, they are composed of men who desire to do their duty and discharge the ob gations imposed upon them with an eye single to what they conceive is just and right. It is not a pleasant task to perform, but while trying to perform if one gets a glimpse of all the phases of humanity,with its weaknesses its frailties and its prejudices; and the saddest of all, the lack of a real and manly conception of the sacredness of an oath. ' ~ ' v HALF AND HALF COTTON. . -4 <,. • •- fc - I• ~ The Times wishes to remind its readers who are cotton planters, to the communication in its last week’s issue from Mr. John M. Will iams, one of Georgia’s large cotton buyers. It is an important and serious matter for every farmer to consid er just now, for cotton planting will soon begin in this immediate sec tion. . . . The half and half cotton lias been grown quite extensively in Barrow and adjoining counties, and especially is this true of the Winder territory. . _ , , This fact Inis materially injured our city as a cotton market, from the fact all large buyers and exporters have refused to handle Winder cotton. . , , , .... The half and half cotton on account of its short staple is bringing from $lO to $25 per hale less than the big hole varieties. It is therefore, a suicidal policy for our farmers to longer contin ue growing a cotton that affects the cotton market and for which they U \ man may be warned against the danger of putting his hand in the lion’s mouth, but if be disregards the warning he qjust suiter the consequences.
