Frrmr are Arniised. President Jordan, of the Georgia Cotton Growers’ Protective Associa tion, in an interview regarding the call which he is now issuing for a gen eral rally of all the farmers in the state at their county seats on the first Tues day in September, said: “I have deemed it best to issue a call asking the farmers and business men generally of the state to come to gether at their various county seats on the first Tuesday in September for tho purpose of completing sub-organiza tions of our association in the different counties. A large number of counties have already organized and many more have named dates to come together in the near future. “I have been steadily on the road for the past sixty days, visiting coun ties in the interest of our movement, and am pleased to state that every county visited has perfected an organi zation. The time is now too short for me to complete a personal canvass of the state, hence the call issued. My time should also be devoted to the official work of our association in securing statistical information and placing the result of my investiga tions in the hands of our members. I shall also ask every paper in the south to actively agitate the question of re form in marketing the present crop, and am satisfied we will receive active co-operation throughout the cot ton belt. “The farmers have it absolutely in their power to control the sitnation the present season, and every effort should bo made to aid them in the struggle for better and higher prices. “More than 815,000,000 can be saved the Georgia farmers if they receive 10 cents per ponnd for their cotton which will be lost if they rush the crop on the market and sacrifice it at 7 cents. “The members of the Georgia State Agricultural society, in convention at Dublin, unanimously endorsed the effort of onr association in behalf of the cotton producers, and agreed to give their active co-operation to the movement in making the present un dertaking a success this season. “The Georgia bankers had already guaranteed their willingness and abili ty to aid the members of the associa tion as to advancing on cotton in stor age, which would enable the produc ers to market the crop slowly. “The cotton mills of the south are with ns, and all lines of business, trades and professions are willing to lend a helping hand towards securing for the farmers a higher price for their staple. “If the crop is marketed slowly, we may confidently look for 10-cent cotton j by the first of October, and to that j end we must all combine our efforts | and take a determined stand against the crop to lie sacratieed at 7 cents per j pound, which the speculators are in- j dustriously trying to force upon our j people. NVith concert of action and | geueTal organization, I have no fear of I handling the present crop for high prices iu view of the fact that the world is short of raw cotton, and the present growing crop will not yield an amount sufficient for consumptive de mand during the next twelve mouths.” * * * Mining fin|mny In TrouHk*. Mr. T. D. Meador, of Atlanta, pres ident of the Southern Mining com pany, has been appointed by Judge John 8. Candler temporary receiver for the company. A receiver was asked for ihat the property might be judiciously handled. It was set out that the immediate cause of the suit was an effort by some of the holders of iuterest coupons on the second mortgage bonds to get a pref erence over other bondholders under suits recently brought iu a justice of the peace court. The Southern Mining company was formed by the purchase of the stocks and bonds of the several companies which went to make up the Georgia Mining, Manufacturing and Invest ment company, and its assets consist almost exclusively of those stocks and bonds. * • * “Nmllßtlon” Company Chartered. The Savannah Dock Ferry Company, a corporation claiming to be a-nnv'fga tion company, ha? been chartered by Secretary of State Phil Cook. The company has a capital stock of $25,000 and has its principal office in Savan nah, where all tho incorporators re side. • • Supreme Court Takes a Rest. The supreme court of the state, after completing the longest term iu its his tory, adjourned to meet again on Oc tober Ist, when the October term dockets will be taken up for oral argu- I ment. The last of the decisions on which j the judges have been workiug through the snrnmer were handed down a day or two ago. In all 961 cases have been considered at the March term, 1 and had the court not worked iu two j divisions for a majority of the time, ttoefeets would not nave neen com- At the present time there are Aj&MaOL ‘' ast>s docketed for the fail •• >urt. winch pro::.: —*, if iu extent the term Trontor, the Buffalo harness-horse man, and pick up points about the Madison Square Garden horse shows upon which the “Horse Show” at the coming fair will be modelled. * * * Peach Season Closing:. The peach season in Georgia is drawing to a close. The Central rail road has handled fifty per cent more, perhaps, than all the other railroads combined. Its total number of cars was 1,378. Fort Valley shipped the largest number, 579. Marshallville came second, with 367; Barnesville 91, Cnthbert 47. Griffin 44, Reynolds 30, Winchester 22 and Bolingbroke 21. These are the most prominent of the peach shipping stations in the state, so far as the records show. The total statistics, including the shipments of the other roads, have not yet been compiled, but it is thought they will run the number up to 2,000 cars. * * * Ketralnins Order Dissolved. The city of Atlanta and the Atlanta Rapid Transit Company scored a vic tory before Judge John S. Candler when the restraining order, holding up the condemnation proceedings against the Atlanta Railway and Pow er Company, was dissolved. The con demnation will be allowed to go for ward up to the point of the arbitrators making their award, but payment of money or occupancy of the tracks is restrained until the case is decided on its merits. * * • Contractor* Stand Firm. A member of the national board of the Carpenters’ Union, who visited Columbus the past week to adjust the differences between the carpenters and the contractors, did not succeed in his mission. He went before the mill men and contractors and made the proposi tion that the men return to work at once, the mil) carpenters at ten horsrs per day, and outside carpenters at nine hours per day, provided that a uniform nine-hour scale should go into efiect on October Ist. The contractors had previously stated that they had intended to gi ant a nine-hour clay on. October Ist. The contractors and mill men refused the proposition,. They are standing tlat-footedly for a ten hour day, and stated plainly that they would employ workmen o-u no other arrangements. *> * Cttll* For Hiw Swwtftrt. A touching story in connection with the arrest and incarceration of young James Tindall, the sixteen-year-oH boy charged with the murder of ilia sister and his father, is going the rounds. It is young Tindalls letter to his sweetheart, in which he emphati cally denies his guilt of the offense and implores her to come to him and give him one word of comfort. Powerless to (iive Aid. Governor Candler received a letter a day or two ago from Monroe county asking state aid tostamp out glanders, which has attacked stock. The Letter was turned over to the commissioner of agriculture, who wrote a reply stating that the state under the law was powerless to give aid iu such cases, but suggested that the pec-pie of Monroe county have their representa tive draft a, bill allowing state aid to be given La such cases. Ordnance Factory Busy. The Union Metallic Cartridge com pany at Bridgeport, Conn., is workiug night and day to fill orders from sev eral governments for ammunition. Besides the big orders for Krag am munitio® the company has a contract for field artillery ammunition to fill for the United States government. Rural Delivery In the West. The poskoffiee department has or dered that rural delivery service be established on August 15th at Henues sy. Okie., and New Boston, Tex. Under Uuard of nilitary. Guarded by 100 picked military men, Sam Robinson, the negro charged with assaulting Mrs. George Inzer, was taken from the Atlanta jail and carried to Marietta, Ga., Friday morn ing. ATLANTA MARKETS.

HE DISCUSSES THE CHINESE MUDDLE William'* Syinputhie* are With the Box er*, Who, He Say*, are Flhtinß For Home aii<l Country. 'Tis home where the heart is, and the most of mine is here. The epicure filled his stomach with choicest food and exclaimed, “Fate cannot harm me, I have dined today,” and so I have filled my heart with the sweets and comforts of home, and feel defiant of human misery. Fate cannot harm me, for my home is my castle where, as Blackstone says, “the king of Eng land dare not enter uninvited.” But an old man did enter not long ago and said he came to stay a few days if it was convenient. I saw his baggage on the iron seat in the verandah. He said, “I travel Ireo and. lodge free and mix with none but the best peo ple, and so I have come to abide with you for a few days. I hope it is con venient.'’ “Well, it wasn’t conven ient, for my wife was at Rome and ray daughters away, and I had never heard of him, and so I told him it was not convenient. He seemed surprised and asked me if I was a Virginian, I told him no, I was a Georgian, and he said Virginians seemed to be scarce in this region and he feared tbat old Virginia hospitality had not reached here; that Bishop Nelson had entertained him. in Atlanta, and he had found a welcome- among all Virginians. “What are you going to do with me?”' be asked. “I am lame and can’t walk; I was told you had a carriage and would drive me anywhere I wished to go.”' “No, <sir,” I have neither carnage ©o buggy, but 3 will go down town and- get a vehicle and take y© anywhere you wish to go.” Then he said Brother Bealer told him that if I would not take him,, there was a poor widow across town who-would, and he would speak to her. So I took him there anil left liim, acl will pay his hill if Brother Bealer dident. There are religious tramps as. well as sinner tramps, and they are not angels un awares.. I was down, in the wiregrass region for nearly two weeks, and have most pleasant memories of my new found friends, but the last day was the best,, for I was on my journey home and coanted the milestones as we speeded along. Happy faces aud Lov ing kisses greeted me when I came, and here I am going: to rest until the larder gets low and my wife insists j that I had better make another ven- j ture; And now let the procession proceed. Let the war go on. It is j none-©f my begetting; it might have stopped at Santiago, hut our yankee brethren seem to love the nigger afar off and have bought 8,000,000' at two dollars and a half a head, which was cheap enough if Spain could have de- I live-red the goods. But theyhave cost i ten times that now and are still in the wonds. XVe used to advertise omr runaways and say “Ten dollars reward—Runa way from the- subscriber my boy Dick, 25 years old, 5 feet 10 inches high, black complexion aud very flat nose. The above reward will be paid on his delivery to me or his lodgment in the nearest jai).” Why not try that on Aguinald® and the other runaways? But if they catch them. I don’t know what they are going to do with them; they wouldn’t let Aguinaldo set up a barber shop in Manilla no more than they would in Boston or Chicago. Professor Councill, who is president of the colored agricultural college in Alabama, understands this. He is the smartest and best leader of his race, and when he speaks or writes to the public always says the right thing. I have great respect for him. But this awful muddle with China, which was precipitated by our aggres sion upon the Philippines, seems to have no end in sight. Rev. Dr. Hal derman, of New York, who is said to be a very learned man, says that he demonstrated a year ago from scrip tural prophecy that the present year would find all tne nations at war, and there would be a mighty struggle be tween Russia and China, and that Russia would eventually gain the su premacy; but that for a time the hordes from China will break in an awful ava lanche upon the western nations and the greed, the rapacity, the Christless, Godless selfishness of European na tions will ge? its reward, and there will be a terrible balance sheet against those Christian nations who have poisoned China with opium and made them look upon all Christians as rapacious foreign devils. He says that the Chinese are fight ing for their homes and institutions, and know that the Christian nations are seeking to rob them,and that their missionaries are backed by guns aud swords aud Godless soldiers ready to kill and slay. This infuriates them, and they look upon any white man as a devil who should be slain. He says that while this impending and destruc tive war is ordained ot liod and lore told by His prophets, yet the sin of it lies at the doors of Christian nations. Offenses must needs come, but woe unto those by whom they come. The love of money is still the root of all evil. “Trade will follow the flag” is the shibboleth of commerce, and if the flag has to be stained with blood it does not matter. These are my convictions, aud hence I can’t work up any enthusiasm nor any revenge. Iu 1841 England took Houg Kong. In 1848 Eugiand made China pay $20,000,000 because sh e destroyed 20,000 chests of opium that had been stored there by English mer chants. In 1868 Russia grabbed all the Amoor country, containing6oo,ooo square miles, and when the United States grabbed the Philippines the suspicious Chinaman said, “The Christians are coming; they want more.” No, it is none of my war The blood of it is on somebody’s hands. I see that General Gordon as goin°- up yonder on another mission of peace —trying to mix up the blue and the gray and make a compromise color that will satisfy both sides. He can’t do it, but maybe he enjoys the fun 0 f trying. Here and there you will find a good-hearted, clever federal pension er, but most of the clever ones eouie down here and stay. The malignant ones don’t come; they are afraid to come. That i3 all right; let them stay there; we had rather live with the negroes than mean yankees. Here is an Ohio paper, The Monroa Chronicle, that was sent me last week —-e marked copy—that is mad because our people talk about building a Confed ilerate memorial at Richmond, and says it ought not to be allowed, and that our loyalty to the union is all a pre tense, and that Bill Arp, a noted reb el and writer, shows no love for a re stored union. He says that such a memorial is an insult to the nation and makes treason honorable and loyalty odious; every Confederate monument is a bloody shirt, and the Republican party ought to die, and die eternally, if it ever allows the return of those rebel flags which are an insult to the union dead and to our disabled veterans. He de nounces our rebel saugs and rebel tributes to treason ; and there is a lot more of such stuff, and it is in keep ing with General Shaw’s utterances in Atlanta about what we shall teach our children. Old as I am, I can lick that fellow in three minutes by the clock, and as he has singled: aae out, it would do me good to maul some grace into his malignant soul. I am afraid we wi.fi have to whip them again. But T atn not going to let every fool up tlfore make me mad —I havent got time—l’d rather work in the garden or play with the grand children;, they keep me amused, and I can love them without a strain. Last night I had to play Trimbletoe with them, and had to be the elephant and let them, ride home on my back. How far away that soundls—“Catches his hens and puts them ia pens; some lays eggs and some lays none; wire, briar, limber lock, three geese in the flock,” etc; One of these Tittle girls, not yet four years old, disobeyed her mother yesterday and was promised a whip ping, “Mary Lou;, this is the second time you have opened the ice chest and turned over the cream. I told you that if you did it again I would whip you,. Now come- along in the other room. ” She is a< good child, loving and smart, but willful. “Mamma, peas don’t vip lire hard.” Her older sister, Carolina-, had fol lowed along out of sympathy. Mary Lou saw her andi said, “Now, Talline, you go back; me don vaut you to see mamma vip me and hear me quy. It’s none of your pisness; it”s just my pisness. You go pack, Talline,” and she laid herself across her mother’s Lap ready for her “pisness.,” The mother coaldeut stand that.; she relented and kissed her aMld, and the little tiring promised again. And so it goes on ia> every loving family—premising and repenting— from childhood to old age, we sin in haste and re-pent at leisure. May the Lord forgive us ail and bless the chil dren, is cay prayer. —Bill Ar?-in At lanta Constitution. HELD A MASS IYEETING As Fitting Climax to Notification Pro* feedings at Indianapolis. As £ fitting close to the notification proceedings at Indianapolis a mass meeting was held at Tomlinson ball Wednesday night, which was presided over by Carter Harrison, mayor of Chicago, and addressed by Mr. Bryan and Webster Davis. In opening the meeting Mr. Harri son made a brief speech congratulat ing the Democracy “upon the promise, yes, the assurance, of success of our ticket at the polls in November.” He said the people had gotten “tired of Mark Hanna and his band of free hooters,” and were turning to the Democratic party for relief. LABEL ORDINANCE N. Q. Non-Union Printers of Atlanta Sus tained In Supreme Court. The union label ordinance, passed by the Atlanta city council some time ago, which required that all thi city printing should bear the union label, has been declared ultra vires and illegal by the supreme court of Geor gia. The court also held that such a procedure would tend to encourage monopoly and defeat competition. The non-union printers of the city j -ought the movement, when it was adopted by the council. The case was first carried to the superior court by : them and afterwards to the supreme ! court by the union printers. MURDERED BY A FRIEND.
