Mr M B Neece, of Huntsville
Ain, has the following to say of
’a'A*tl ta^Jou'r S * tUr ‘
dn ‘ v J!, a * n u Jaur n a n I ‘
-
‘•The present cmA,W, prosperous con-
dition of the which' «*V#d.|lfy
the cotton belt has not
Inten equaled in mgny hy yeors the

the thirdyeqr of prosperity and
good debt paying. Farmers are
tn good condition, coniidnce at a
high standard, with cotton at 12
cents, and prospects of it going to
locentft. People, both white and
black, are buying moro fine mule*
and horses, buggies and wagons,
furniture and abotsum tlifln ever
before known. With 15 cents
cotton or even 10 cent cotton.
th»B reckleg«ne«6 will grow and o
disposition on tbe part of 'armers
to cut out their crops of corn,
wheat and hay and plants all
their land in cotton, and then
awaken at an e.«rly hour to find
themselves paying enormous
prices for supplies and their own-
iugs being sold under (he hammer
to pay debts with low price cotton
Tho year 1900 is one which evorv
merchant and manufacturer
bitould handle with great caution,
and handle credit with moro scru¬
tiny than ever before. If they
do not we may look for disaster,
bankruptcy and hank failures all
over the cotton seoticn. It is
alarming to see what a largo per¬
centage of our business men and
even planters are engaged in fu¬
ture speculation, which sooner or
later will undoubtedly prove n
deadfall to them, and when this
crash conies down go*g all this
present prosperity with it. How
oasy it is for the business men of
this country to avert this duaster
by using precaution, holding back
the reckless’ buyer as they did
when cotton was 6 cents, scrutin¬
izing credit as they did a few
years hack, foT all this present
condition of things in our busi¬
ness world was brought I about again by
being conservative, iay
ws arefaoiog a doogereus Condi¬
tion of things. And the present
prices ot| cottou will eventually
prove * curse instead of a blessing
unless farmers increase their grain
crops instead of decreasing them.
Plant mow grain, raise more
and cattle, letapeeulation alone,
and you will soon ha sellers in¬
stead of buyers; decrease your
cotton acrengo and increase the
tme of fertilizers. No farmer can
adord to plant any orop without
fertilizing well any more than
an afford to work his stock with¬
out, feed. As commercial fertili¬
zers is to the work stock. Do not
endeavor to economize by cutting
down the use of'.fertilizers,-as the
true economy and paying results
are in poss*ss ; on cf the farmers
w ho use WOO to 800 pounds tliis per
ncre. It w ill pay* to observe with legiti¬
rule, and be content

fanner admits that that is .t | !
only way to farm profitably—and
yet few, very few, of them do so.
It is next to impossible to find
a farmer who raises his own sup¬
plies on his farm who is not pros-
nod accumulating proper-
ty. It is hard to find one saving
m whf| b f)i ssupplies.

Tlie other two did not raise their
supplies, but cultivated all the
cotton they could, to sell at 50
cents per pound, and both of
them died very poor, not* having
hardly enough to pay their burial
expenses. I did without every¬
thing I could not raise on tin

my meat, flour, con, syrup, etc,
and while 1 have never been rich
yet I have lived a long time, rais¬
ed a lug family, have never been

Isn’t that conclusive proof that
it is necessary to make the farm
self-sustaining in order to suc¬
ceed?
The Washington Chronicle,
while begging farm r- to raise
their supplies, says:
‘•Don't let the present price of
cotton, with the promising out¬
look ef stilly better prices, cause
you to put in a heavy acreage the
coming year. Thsre is an early
and unprecedented demand for
j mules and tbn majority of the
people are apprehensive of tlie
unwise step that is contemplated
by the farmers—putting in a
large acreage of cotton, That,

tilers and business men are not
slow to say, means a death knell
to uor prosperity. There is more

try' t han has been ."or a great mini
ber of yours, and it is direct'y at¬
tributed to the cut in acre age and

and concerted action ot the far-
mers in the Cotton Association
Listen lo tho leaders who are in
position to view tho situation,
Cut your cotton acreage and fer-
tilizers, raise your hogs and hom¬
iny and keep tbo price up. Be
wise enough to know a good thing

of Judge h Richard Johnson, of

aiid drove to Mucon.
They lift their traces in their
ovn'bloudon the floor of the
bank, at the slable in Clinton
und on the harness <d. the buggy
which, i.fter reaching East Ma¬
con, they abandoned in the yard
of Mr Geo \V Mann.
About daybreak, about thrte
hours aftert the blow ing up of the
vault, Officer Griflim, on Fourth
Steet, encountered a man with
his band bandaged in a cloth sat¬
urated in blood. This man was
of rough appearance, looking like
a countryman and it wns only af¬
ter be had disappeared that th"
m-vrs of the burglary at Gray
reached the ears of the Macon
police. Tlieglympse of this man
if the onlyjclue, and several days
of hard work by Detectives An er-
sou and *.b'nkins failed to fi d
the man.
Suspicious Men Seen.
Cashier Bonner, of the Gra
bank was returning from an ev-
ening entertainment about 11
o’clock Glut, night, when he no¬
ticed u couple of suspicious look¬
ing strangers by the rni road
track near the bank, nothing eJse
developed until C W Rngc, v ho
lives about 100 yarns from the
bank, was aroused at aboitt 1
o’clock by the sound of a muffed
explosion, which was repeated af¬
ter a mmute and caused him to
get out with a lighted lamp to in¬
vestigate.
All remained quiet and M.
Bragg returned to bod. So tin*
! work of the yegg men was not
discovered till day liubt next
morning:' . * Vi¬
la altering the bank the bur-
glars were* compelled to twist,
aside the iron bars over the win¬
dow- and then to breu/i out the
pines. <Ono of tho men sliced his
hand on the glass, and bled pro¬
fusely, spatering the floor of the
bank with blood.
After blowing open the vault
door .they hacked at tho safe door
with some instrument and then
fled, leaving bshind not only the
$ 1,000 but even tho small change
was lying loose in an open draw-
ors.
The Bank of Gray is fully cov¬
ered by burglar insurance and an
adjustor was here this week and
says it impossible for any ^expert
burglars to enter this safe in one
night honoe we feel safe in saying
that any funds deposited here are
pejfectly safe and the people
should remember this fact and de-
posit their surplus money instead
of keepinq it nt homo.J
