Wo don't believe colonol could lmd done so w oll, but from the fact that ho has been riding and rehearsing w ith J. H. Guerry lately. After Col. Wilson had finishe 1, the 'V ire-grass Colt was brought uuward. Ho seemed to he a little shy at first, but ft(ter llp hu(1 il(1 jnsted J himself to the oc . bo began by that he had oasiou, saving been listening to tho colonel’s apology for being a Democrat, and from thence he began to take up one plank, and from one to another, and so on until he proved that Democrats were standing on nothing that they promised tho people, they would, and about all you could ex¬ pect w as promises that they themselves say they canuot carry out But when he took up the land plank in tho Peoples’ party pin 1 form, which Col, Wilson had ]ust, read, he called the colonel’s attention to the fact that he had only read a part of it; that lio made a period out of a comma—and after the colonel wont upon tho stand to see if such was the case, lie still claimed that it was a period. But when Smith agreed, and asked the colonel to agree for some else to read the section, ho merely said that it was a little dark up there, nud it might be a comma; whereupon the wire grass colt, of Decatur county, showed signs of viciotisness to eat something “green” or to eat some stratagen of the Wilson variety, and some of the good alhancemen are going to have Smith in dieted for cruelty to animals, because he did with Wilson what Watson advised Gordon to do with Puffer, “To take him by the whiskers and dent the ceiling with him.

Bh«>ww A Piea for a Primary-' Confronted a-the Democratic party no >rtmi 1 «*nein -* be* •'d ttiui new, there must be no disaffection in its milks, no heart-burnings among its members. There is. I think, little danger at this lime, of any tenons or fatal difference as to established princi plea of party belief or party doctrine, and if such differences have arisen or should arise, they "ill hardly have suffi¬ cient prevalence to seriously threaten the final triumph of the party. Should such divisions degenerate into desertion ami revolt, Democrats have simply to proclaim, “He that is uot"ith us is against us,” then closing up such gaps ns unfaithfulness or folly may have made in their ranks, advance with uu broken front against the mongrel hosts that stand arrayed against honest meth¬ ods of administration and principles of republican government. There are, how¬ ever, other and very grave questions of party procedure and party discipline that deserve to be carefully considered and fairly settled. Political parties cannot expect to im¬ press their principles upon the admini.s tralit u of government unless they act in concert. Dike all other associations, ecclesiastical or secular, in order to lx: effective, they must not only have rul es and discipline; but they must obey the one and conform their conduct to tho ether. W ithout government, and cheer¬ ful loyalty to that government organiza¬ tion is impossible; and without organiza¬ tion, success, against trained and vigi hint antagonists cannot bo achieved. After years of experiment and expe¬ rience, the Democratic parti’ in Georgia formally adopted the system of choosing their standard-bearers at open elections to be held under tin* protection cf the law and in accordance with the rules prescribed by the party ordering them. Commending itself to the people on ac¬ count of its manifest fairness and its conformity to the.spirit of popular gov¬ ernment, this system has not only re¬ ceived legislative sanction, but for years has been (It* almost universal method, among democrats, of ascertaining the popular will in the matter of choosing candidates, and the few departures from this practice, liaye almost invariably re¬ sulted in heart*l)uruiugs, recriminations, and in some i net uncos. even threatening the integrity of tlie organization, It is true tho executive committee of tho Democratic party for this district, have seen fi: to go no further in this matter than to “recommend.” that delegates to the congressional convention be selected by primaries to be held on the 15th day of August, yet to Democrats, who arc not only loyal,but who are cheerfully and heartily so, a “rocomdation'’ from such a source, comes with very much the force of a command, and should not, ex¬ cept for great reason and manifest neces¬ sity, be disregarded. Does any such ne¬ cessity exist in Clay county V Tho fact, if it he a fact, that the action of the district committee has been over¬ looked or disregarded by the party au¬ thorities in a few other counties, surely furnishes no excuse for such a depart¬ ure; bad precedents neither furnish justification nor beget authority. The seeming disloyalty in some of these counties—if not all—is palliated by the fact that the time and method of select¬ ing delegates had been determined prior to the action of the district executive committee. 1 have boon lea to expr«.th«K, view, ami reflections, by the fact that the ex ecutivo committee for this county, has scon fit to prescribe that congressional delegates be selected at a “Mass Meet¬ ing,” and feeling that the Democrats who compose that committee, have at heart, only the integrity and success oi party—and would scorn any method having even the appearance of unfair ness—or of disloyalty to party rules and party discipline; as a Democrat who knows that the triumph of democratic principles can only be achieved through the strict observance of democratic meth ods, I respectfully ask and earnestly urge the committee to so modify their former action as' to permit ns to express our preference between individual aspirants in that fairest aud safest af all methods — u free and law-protected primary.

His Monthly Talk to the Firmer, of til© State Of Georgia. REVIEW OF THE CHOPS, »n<t Oats Ilailly Damsjed for Want of Rain—Wheat boinj; Fairly Well—Cotton Somewhat Late, fllher Farming: News. Department of Aoriccltfre, Atlanta, July 1 , 189 b A GENERAL REVIEW OF CROPS AND CON¬ DITIONS. Up to the middle of Juno the belated crops over the entire state, already re tarded by the unprecedente l cold, were and drying up for want of and the parching winds, which prevailed over a large area, but a ided to the gloominess of the situation. Ilnd this condition been confined to ono sac tion there would have been less reason for apprehension, but tn^ cry of distress from all quarters gave rise to the most anxious forebodings. The refreshing rains, unaccompanied by the destructive storms so widely predicted and expect¬ ed, commenced about the middle of June, and though at first very partial, we hope they are not too Lite to save a large part of the corn crop in certainly the sonlh ern part of the state, and in time to rescue that crop in the middle and northern sections. Cotton, with its utmost marvelous powers of recup'-ra tion, may recover from the varied disas¬ ters to which it has been subjected, and, with propitious seasons, a fair crop may yet be realized. The small grain crop.s are much in¬ i ured. Fall oats, which were at one line most promising, have been seriously cut off. The spring crop is practically a failure, and tho yield from wheat is much reduced. In some exceptional cases the preparation was very thorough. On such lands these crops bIiow com paratively little effect of the long dronth, and the yield is all that coul l bo expected. I have in mind a field of corn which, through a drouth of several weeks’ duration, has scarcely shown, a twisted blade, and 1 ms maintained a liealthy growth and color which, in comparison with adjacent fields, seemed find most remarkable. On inquiry I that the preparation thorough, of and this during land was exceptionally instead drying tho long drouth tho roots, of up too near the surface, have gone as deep as possible into the mellow bed, thus obtaining the requisite food and moisture for the rapidly ' growing plants, This is but another confirmation of David Dickson’s assertion, that with thorough preparation and manuring, a corn crop can be made with one good had rain. The corn in question has never a soaking rain since it came out of the ground until the splendid season of the middle of .Tune, which places it be yond The the possibility of ordinary disaster. general corn crop is backward, drawn es¬ pecially and to the through north of tho a line of tho east west center state, but CORN must be laid by this month. Unlike cotton, it must mature in a certain period, failing in this, wo have no means of remedying tho defect, and tuo result is disappointment in tho yield. Just now all the energies of tho plant ere directed to the development of the ear, and should not bo diverted to tho repair of useless and ill judged root cutting. The plow should cut evenly and smoothly, not more than t wo inches below- tho surface, leaving the roots un disturbed to perform their perfect fuac tions. Where commercial fertilizers were used the long drouth has boon peculiar¬ ly injurious,for without sufficient moist¬ ure, this prepared plant food is unavail¬ able, and in many eases tho corn had passed tho critical period of develop ment, before the rains came to unlock . used with composts of different kinds, the beneficial effect of the moisture ab sorbing humus can be plainly seou, and indeed if we desire to secure the ful benefit of any commercial fertilizer, the 6 aiest plan is to use plan iu conjunction with composts. By this a small amount of tne fertilizer can be made to do double duty and with far more certain¬ ty than if applied alone. It would make a wonderful difference on the credit side of our yearly accounts if not one pound of fertilizer was ap plied except by composting. To prepare for this, it is necessary to begin now. July marks a pause in the agricultural rush of tho past several weeks, and be fore the heavy duties of gathering and housing the made crops raid preparing and see bug for the fall grain begins, we can look around and tako the initial steps towards accumulating MATERIALS FOR COMPOSTING. During wet spells or at old times, when other work is not pressing, much can be done in this important branch ot onr industry. Where this work runs all through the year, it is astonishing, not only bow much is saved, but how much is actually gained from the ordinary “waste products” of the the farm. Ui course if it is left to last moment or receives only careless or spasmodic at tention, we cannot expect certain or en C ouraging results, but if a settled and intelligent plan is the followed, with a steady aim iu view, universal teeti mony is that it pays better than any oth?r investment on the farm. The lot and stalls should be well Uttered with leaves and woods earth, which in turn should not be thrown out loosely to the injurious ac tion of all weathers, but thrown into compact well built heaps, or better still, p U ^. nn( j er shelter of some kind. If well managed the compost heap hi in deed the farmer's gold mine, from which ha can expect much more cer tain return than is ordinarily vouch ea f e d to the bona fide gold digger. Vie, as farmers, should study this question ^ mamires iu all its phases; of feeding seiwung. of applying for greatest yields. A farmer can eo manage that after j? Jg uSSS^SliSfuSf nable constituents are lost, either by Improper methods of handling or by mistaken modes of application. Ex periments at the various stations, no tably at New York, show so.ne very thorough interesting work in this line, which throws much light in questions, which we have neither'time nor means to elucidate for ourselves.

All tb it is ne.-oa SS remain on the surface. The crop being so much later than usual, the object of present cultivation should be not to en¬ courage weed growth. A good plan is to plow every alternate row, using a Sweep, heel scrape or extended cultivator, thin after a few days, return and plow the rows which were left. This practically stirs the entire surface and gets a double benefit from a given amount of work. CROPS Wilicn CAN BK PLANTED THIS MONTH—CORN. It is too late to plant corn on poor up land. Bat on rich upland, or on damp bottom land, by using au early uiatuwng variety, we can plant up to the middlb cf July. If intended late for forage, July the 20, seed c an be put in us as an i with ordinary ssasous, the re¬ sults will be satisfactory. POTATOE3 can be sat out all t rough the month. The late planted slips make smoother potatoes and planted of better keeping qualities than those earlier. The main care, after tiie vines begin to cover the ground, is to prevent thorn from taking root between tho rows, an 1 this is es¬ pecially important with the late planted slips. RUTABAG AS. Where desirable, and the seasons are suitable, it is well to prepare this crop during the present month, tho land being put in fine tilth and highly manured. Phosphates are required more especially, with a smaller propor¬ tion of nitrogen and potash. Tlie early sowing can begin during the latter part of tho month., and as soon a 3 the plants are up, dust with dry ashes to prevent the depredations of their insect enemies. SORGHUM for forage can still be planted. Cows, mules and hogs are fond o? it, and it is a cheap and healthful food. For seed, the early amber is best, because, on ac¬ count of itn smaller stem, the wholo plant, stem, leaves and seed can be utilized. * • TEAS, ^9 _ rouch , , lias boon said ...... and written as jj° Vflu0 tho pea crop, not only as feed for onr stocit, but as a renovator to our that *t seems scarcely neces p; ! r y ^ r -. ve ^ t t0 Gns subject, but it is of s ? cli importance that 1 must be pardoned for presenting a few ad ditional facts, and tor again urging farmers to put in as large bushel a crop as pos- tho 61 bl®- A peck or a halt to Qure « sown broadcast in the corn and covered by the last plowing, will, with pjdmary seasons, give a lair stand, aad ^ planted before the middle of the month, wid usually mature seed.

Don’t put off sowing oats until spring, the risk is too great, but begin in time to prepare for the much more certain fall crop, and resolve to sow early, The fields from which the peavine hay has been taken will be ready, and Septem¬ ber is none too early to begin the sow¬ ing. To sow in the cotton field is also a good plan. Tho Appier variety is among the best, resists rust, is early aud pro ductive. Secure soed in time and begin at the first practicable moment.
