Goody’s District, “peooj RflnDcer “Raise all home supplies, then we can sit steady in the boat and wait ’till all panics blow over.” We are now having plenty of rain and cold weather, but we are standing it pretty well. With not much money, but plenty of collards, potatoes and wood, you may talk about all the allurements of city life, but the man out among the sticks with plenty of wood and plenty to eat is the happiest man on earth. And when all the farmers learn to raise all their supplies on their farms —and they are rapidly learning it —then we can just sit steady in the boat and wait until all panics blow over. With all of our currency in the hands of private corporations to expand and contract, to loan and lock up whenever it suits them, what can the farmer do but pro tect himself by raising all of his supplies? And one of the mys teries of the 19th century is, why has the United States govern ment turned all of its volume of currency over into the hands of the national banks to loan and lock up as they see proper. They can force a panic on the country any day in the year they see proper, and I defy any states man in the state of Georgia to dispute it. This is a broad as sertion but I make the challenge. One of the finest things we have read in many a day was the editorial in week before last’s Progress. It text was “Don't Kick the Man who is Down.” Some noted author has said: “Often beneath a coat that is worn and threadbare, there is a CASES To Be Tried at Next Term Butts Superior Court.

If you don’t, hold your breath and I will tell you. Now don’t understand me as say ing that all rich men are scound rels, for they are not. There are lots of them who stand above anything that is mean, for I have had dealings with them and I know they have been my rock and my refuge, and I have also had dealings with some of them that what they done to me wouldn’t do to talk in a Sunday School. There are some who for the sake of making a few hun dred dollars will send a family of orphan children homeless and adrift in the world, and at the same time had they allowed them time they could have retained their home and he would not have suffered any loss. I say there are men who will practice these things and then go home, eat a hearty supper, take a sound night's sleep on Saturday night, and on Sunday morning go down to church, take charge of his Sunday School class, take up a collection to convert the heathen, and when the church services are over the church is as cold as a frog and is as barren as the desert of Sahara, all because there are too many men trying to run the church whom the world knows to be nothing more than walking encyclopedias of hypocrisy, trickery and scul dugery.

Georgia AMERICAN COTTON PULLS. The cotton mills of America have been up against it during the present financial stringency. But very few of them ever at tempt to furnish the money with which to buy their supply of cot ton, depending on borrowing from eastern syndicates the amount needed, but this season they have been unable to do so, hence they have been running on a “hand to mouth” policy. There are but few American mills that have cotton enough to run them thirty days, hence they have their year’s supply of cot ton yet to buy. Do not get un easy, Mr. Farmer. The outlook for the Ameri can mills in the future is better than it has been for the past few months, owing to the fact that some large monied interests are now offering to loan the South ern and Eastern mills money with which to buy cotton for their year’s supply. Set steady in the boat, Mr. Farmer. This is the time for the Amer ican mills to show their patriot ism and make such necessary sacrifice as will enable them to secure the funds with which to buy the farmer’s cotton, and hence relieve the financial situa tion in the South.
