KIRKLAND NEWS BUDGET.
The Condition of the Farmers and
Their Crops in This Section.
Kirkland, sept., 28.—Keifsr pears
are plentiful in this section, and seem
to be much larger than in former years,
possibly on account of the continued
dry weather.
The sugar cane crop will be cut
short one fourth unless ' there is moie
raiu.
The iarge corn crop in Coffee coun
ty is being gathered and larger barns
are being built to hold the grain.
Rev. Mr. Turner of the Fitzgerald
Episcopal parish preached to a large
congregation Sunday at Leighton
parish, two miles east of this place.
The addition of anew organ and good
choir has added much to the service.
t James Carver, a farmer living 2 miles
‘ south of this place, while hunting hen
eggs in his fodder house, after taking
eggs from two different nests, was in
the act, as he thought, of finding an
other nest, and thrust his hand within
a few inches of a large rattle snake.
After recovery from his flight, he
dispatched his snakeship. which meas
ured six feet, haying fourteen rattles.
Rev. Mr. Littlejohn and Rev. Mr.
King of Florida, are holding a protrac
ted meeting at the. Robert’s church 7
miles south of this place. Sunday
several hundred people were present
from Ccffee and Clinch counties.
Miss Narcissa Paulk was married to
Mose Griffin at the residence of Ebjab
Paulk Sunday, sept. 27th ; T.s. Heriot.
J. P., officiating. Tuc is a very popular
young lady of this county and the
groom a prominent men liant of Pear
son.
The present indications are that the
sea island cotton crop of this county
is only about half gathered, and while
scarcity of rain has caused destruction
to some crops, the majority are great
ly benefitted, making a much better
staple.
The average sea island cotton farmer
has to pay one dollar per hundred to
get his cotton pi :ked, then add the
same amount for having it ginned and
60 cents for bagging, besides hauling
and cotton {iekers being so hard to get,
makes it very hard for them. Up to
this date there has been thirty nine
bales sea island cotton shipped from
Kirkland.
Now that you have registered be
sure and vote.
Notice to Debtors.
All parties iiAbted to me either by
note or requested to come
and make settlement at once.

PORTUGUESE IN AFRICA.
Their Power and Influence Hare Complete
ly Passed Away.
The first to come were the men of
Portugal, then in the fresh spring
time of its power. Bartholomew
Diaz discovered the Cape of Storms,
as he called it, in 1486, and after
Vasco da Gama, in 1497-8, had trao
ed the southeast coast as far as So
fala, a little to the south of tho mod
ern port of Beira, the Portuguese
established settlements at that place
and farther to the north of it, and
thence carried on a considerable
trade with tho natives, chiefly in
gold brought down from the mines
of Mashonaland. However, tho un
healthiness of the flat country which
lies between the coast and the inte
rior plateau checked their projects of
exploration and conquest. Individu
al traders, and sometimes mission
aries also, penetrated far into tho
interior, and articles which tho Por
tuguese must have brought to Afri
ca, such as fragments of Indian and
Chinese pottery, and even, in one or
two instances, small cannon, have
been found many’ hundreds of miles
from the seaboard. But, on the whole,
the Portuguese exerted little influ
ence on the country and its inhabit
ants.
Tho white population remainod
very small, and it became degraded
by intermarriage with the Kaffirs,
for in Africa, as well as in Brazil,
tlio Portuguese have shown little of
that contempt for the native blacks
and aversion to a mixing of their
blood with the latter, which have
been so generally characteristic of
tho Dutch and the English. During
the seventeenth and eighteenth cen
turies tho colonizing force of Portu
gal declined with the decline of her
European power.
She made no further efforts to ex
plore, and even abandoned some of
her stations on tho Zambezi. Sho
remained, however, undisturbed in
hor possessions till a few years ago,
when a question arose betweon hor
and Great Britain regarding the
right to Delagoa hay, a port tho
value of which, as the only deep wa
ter harbor fit for large vessels along
tho whole stretoli of the southeast
coast south of Beira, was now gener
ally perceived. President MaoMa
hon, to whom as arbitrator the con
troversy was referred, decided in fa,
vor of Portugal. Subsequently Ger
many appearod as a formidable
neighbor on the north, while bound
ary disputes arose with the British
settlers who in 1890 bad occupied
the inland country to the west.
Thus the Portuguese frontier,
which had been very uncertain, has
now bocome defined. It includes a
vast area, but in that area the num
ber of white men, or even of semi
civilized half breeds, is so small that,
although some fitful efforts have
been made by the Mozambique com
pany, little or no progress in occupy
ing or improving the country can bo
recorded. Portugal sends no emi
grants to Africa. Her government,
now hard pressed for money, cannot
find the sums noeded to develop her
African territories, nor is tliore pri
vate capital in Portugal to supple,
ment the weakness of tho govern
ment. Tho Beira railway and the
Delagoa Bay railway—of which more
anon—have both been built by for
eign companies. Practically, Portu
gal may bo looked on as an extinot
force in South Africa. James
Bryce, M. P., in Century.

ME SILVER!
-A- Discussion of tlie
Currency Question
by J. W. Prince of
Pearson, Gra
lie people of every section of the United States are discussing fre
silver, and, after several months of dilligent study, 1 have concluded to issue
this circular letter to the good people of my county.
I do not believe, from the reiding of the Republican platform that they
will enact a free coinage law. No more silver coins will be added to the vol
ume of our currency except that which is coined for the purpose of redeem*
iug and retiring our paper money. Now, the question I wish to discuss is,
how can we use what money we have in circulation in Coffee county to th
best advantage.
Firstly, I would advise strict economy, which can be practiced by trading
at my store. 1 have the largest and best selected stock of general merchan*
dise in Pearson, and am willing, yea anxious, to accept all 52 cent silver dol*
lurs in payment for my goods, giving as much and often more than you get
elsewhere for a gold dollar.
Those who have the cash to pay for their purchases can see their money
appreciating in value as soon as they enter my store.
I have a pretty line of Shoes.. Hats, Dry Goods, Clothing, Groceries,
Fancy Candies, Cold Drinks, Trunks, Crockeryware, Glassware, etc., etc.
Remember I have the goods and they are to be sold at real bargain
prices. Don’t forget to call and hear the Regina play. Each and every
purchase to the amount of 50 cents entitles you to a ticket and a chance to
get this beautiful, $67.00 music box free. Respectfully,
Pearson, Ga., June 20, 1896. J. \V. PRINCE,
