THEY BEAT COTTON.
The farmers have had a fine year, as us
ual, for growing sw r et.t potatoes and yet
they aro se’ling at about one dollar per
bushel in ibis market. Almost any land
in this section will produce 200 bushels of
potatoes per acre, and the cultivation is
much easier and cheaper than cotton. It
is safe to say that all the sw 7 eet potatoes
raised in this section for years, with prop
er management, could have been sold at
an average of fifty cents per busbel,
which bea£s cotton about SBS per acre.
And yet the potato crop will be neglected

THE SENATORIAL RACE
We believe if the election of United
States senator were left to a direct vote
of the people'f Georgia Hon. A. O.
Bacon would be their choice by an
overwhelming majority. As it is, we
believe he will beeiected by the legis
lature on the first ballot. All his op
ponents freely admit that he will have
a verg decided lead over any other
candidate. We have not thesligbtest
doubt of his election, because the peo
ple of Georgia want him—not the poli
ticians, but the people. Avery large
majority ot the legislative nominees—
gve to one at least —who hax r e received
instructions from iheir county mass
meetings have been directed to vete
for Major Bacon for United States
senator.
This shows the drift of things—-it
shows that the people are for him
If by any chance he should he de
feated, it will he bv politicians, by
log-rolling, and chicanery. Major
Bacon is not adept in these meth
ods. He is above them. He is sin
cere and candid and the soul of
I nonor, and is running solely on his
merits as a statesman and a true
and tried patriot who has never
shirked a duty to his state and peo
pie

FALSE ALARM!
\\ ritten by our Junior while reminiscing:
Each week I saw him take a Y
And put it in a letter
And mail it, and for that I own
I liked him all the better!
I thought of some dear city home
A pationt mother bearing
A burden lightened by the thought
That he for her was caring.
His surly ways and hardened face
I easily forgave him,
Because of this, his weekly gift,
One virtue that could save him.
But alas, alack, one early morn
My confidence did flicker,
As I saw him at the depot
With a gallon jug of licker!
AND SHE JUMPED.
A young couple, newly married, mad
their first trip on the cars on their bridal
tour. Ihe groom was very solicitous of
bis bride’s welfare, and kept a constant
lookout for accidents. Presently, as the
train went around a curve, the young man
saw a fence which he supposed crossed the
track. Turning to his fair companion, he
said in a frightened tone that could be
heard all over the car: “Hold on tight,
Nal; she is goin’ to jump a fence!” That’s
what our solicitude to them leads us to
say to our populist friends: “Lookout,
pops; the democratic party is going to
jump a fence”—next Wednesday!—Dal

GET READY FOR NOVEMBER.
One lesson which will compensate in
some measure for the democratic losses in
Wednesday’s election, is taught by the
result of the late gubernatorial fight.
That is that in older to maintain undispu
ted .Democratic supremacy in this state, it
is necessary that the Democratic party
should organize strongly and compactly in
every county', in every militia district, so
that effective woik can be done on election
day, aud every Democrat can be brought
to the ballot box.
Because the Populists were so organ
ized and the Democrats w r ere not, our nor
mal majority was cut down and many
Democratic constituencies will be repre
sented iu the next legislature by Populists.
/So far as the material results of the
election held TUednesday are concerned,
the Democrats have lost nothing. They
still have complete control of the state
government, It is a fact, however, that
the populists feel encouraged and believe
they have success in sight. 2 hey will
therefore start in to work even more de
terminedly from now until the November
elections in hopes that they will be able to
capture a few members of Congress.
MARVELOUS RESULTS.
From a letter written by Rev. J. Gun
derman. of Dimondale, Mich, w r e aro
permitted to make this extract- “I
have no hesitancy in recomending Dr.
King’s New Discovery, as the results
were almost marvelous in the case of my
wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist
church at Rives Junction she was
brought down with pneumonia succeed
ing La Grippe. Terrible paroxysms of
coughing would last fcr hours at a time
with little interruption and ii seemed as
if she could not survive them. A friend
recommended D-. King’s New r Discovery
which was quick in its work and highly
satisfactory in results ” Trial bottles

lar size 50c and sl.
One d.i}- as I drove along a pleas
ant Kentucky road, I came to a
larmhouse, and noticing an old time
well sweep in the yard, it occurred
to me that it would be nice to get a
drink there, so I stopped and spoke
to a man at the gate,
•‘Can I get a drink here?’* I
asked with a longing look toward
the well,
“Sorry, mister, v reponded the
Kentuckian, ‘ but there ain't a drop
in the place; and I was getting pur--
ty dry myself. v
“Isn't there any water in the
well?” I repeated.
”Oh, }es, of course,” he blurted
out as he hustled oft for the £ourd,
“I didn't know you wanted water;
I thought you wanted a drink.”

A COLT SHOW.
Let There be a Big Display of Middle
Georgia Colts on the 13th.
The Call suggested a few weeks since
that the number and grade of young colts
in /Spalding county would justify having
a colt show, where all the colts of this and
adjacent counties could be brought in com
petition and thus develop a spirit of rival
ry that might result ic increasing the inter
est m stock raising.
Our suggestions met with the cordial
endorsement of several of our friends of
the county, and will result in a show of
colts in Griffin on Saturday the 13th iust.
a starter Messrs Thompson & Free
man, owners of the famous horse, “Flam',
beau,” of Butts county, offers a premium
of $25 for the best colt from fheir horse
exhibited on that day. Now let other
stock men fall into line and offer pre
miums, as well as others interested in
stork raising, and an interesting exhibit
will be made, and many will be surprised
at the progress made here in raising fine
stock.
The exhibit will be in in the court house
lot, beginning at 11 o’clock, Saturday
morning, October 13th, and it is hoped
that every fine colt in 20 miles of Griffin
will be brought out.
.Judges will be selected to make the
awards of all premiums.—Griffin Call.
This is a good suggestion, and Butts
county should have a colt show, at some
early day. The subject of stock raising
has been agitating the minds of our people
some time, and the sooner less attention is
paid to raising cotton and more given
to stock raising the better off will be the
farmers m this immediate vicinity. Now
let’s have a colt show in Jackson at an early
day and invite our neighbors to participate
in the exhibit. If someone who has the
time will take the matter in hand, the Je
sus will cheerfully assist them in any
way possible by advertising it and getting
as many to come as can conveniently do
so. TFko will take the matter in charge.

COME SOUTH, TOUNG MAN.
It would not at ail be surprising
should the first gentral movement
toward the southern states come
from men residing in the northern
sections rather than from foreign
lands. The favorable conditions of
the crops throughout the greater
portion of the south compared with
the very unfavorable situation in
many sections of the north and west
is calculated to arnst the serious
attention of farmers and fruit grow
ers. There are hundreds of fami
lies who have giyen up in despair
and are now leaving the drought
stricken regions for more desirable
quarters and many of these intend
going si uth. The era of land spec
ulation is about at an end in the
west. The best agricultural areas
have been occupiedj prices are too
high for those of limited means, who
are seeking for homesteads, and the
low prices of corn, wheat and other
staples of the great prairies indi
cate a necssity not only of a change
of situation, but of a greater diverei •
ty of production.
There are millions of acres of
cheap and fertile lands throughout
the south, and in the specialties of
truck gardening and fruit growing
very considerable progress is being
made by men from the north who
have gone out as pioneers. All are
not equally successful, but it has
been demonstrated that ihe same
amount of capital, skill and indus
try in general farming or in garden
ing and fruit raising in the more
desirable portions of the south
will yield very satisfactory returns
as compared with northern farming.
There are disadvantages, but these
are compensated for in a large meas
ure. If the climate is too hot in
summer it is less rigorous in win
ter, and clothing and iuel are not
*o expensive. Labor is cheap and
abundant, if not of the most desira
ble kind, and the advantages will be
found to fairly offset the draw
backs. To those whose ambition is
to secure a homestead which will
yield them a competency at a small
outlay, the south now offers better
opportunities than the west. It
was not always so, but this seems
to be the situation at present. For
some years to come the drift will he
lrom the large centres of population
to the farming regions and in this
distribution the south will share lib
erally.
