Send Then to the Roar.
The small politician and suifaec
schemer is making tremendous strides
to get in his work just now. The
country is full of would-be leaders
anxious to lift the depression from
the burdened farmers, fathering is¬
sues, elucidating the monetary sys¬
tem, and laying bare the anatomy of
tariff reform. They tell the farmer
that he is growing poorer every day,
that t lie combined world outside of
his particular vocation is weaving a
net in which to entwine him, and mi¬
les* they put in ofliee such men as
themselves (the would-he leaders)
that they are gone beyond all hope
of redemption. Such men should
not he heeded. The man who can
only show the dark side of a picture
is not lit for an exhibitor. The men
who think and labor for the country,
who have no axes to grind and no
favors to confer, who had rather see
their country prosper than to have
individual honors heaped upon them,
are the only safe men to listen to.
Tiny are sensible enough to hold up
to the farmers the opportunities be¬
fore them, and say to them that
among their calling the greatest lib¬
erty, the greatest independence and
the greatest happiness is to he found.
There is no other class of people who
have so much rugged honesty as the
fanners, and they are not as suspi¬
cious of deceptive leaders as we would
be glad to see them. The farmers
deserve as friendly legislation as any
class of labors under the sun, and we
believe they will get it, hut many
who desire to do this legislation have
neither the ability nor the principle
to do it, and for the good of the whole
country and the farmer in particular
we hope to see them sent to the rear.
A Friendly Objection.
There is a move on foot, and lias
been others heretofore, to induce
Franklin comity citizens to take hold
and co-operate with other counties in
establishing factories, mills, etc., out¬
side of this county. While we wish
our neighbor counties all the success
their efforts are entitled to, still we
must protest against Franklin's citi¬
zens building up other counties at
the expense of their own. All who
have had the advantage of intelligent
observation know that there is no
better county in the state than Frank¬
lin as regards fertility of the soil, and
that her citizens arc as prosperous as
can he found in the state. The spirit
of home enterprise is always com¬
mendable and of great advantage.
It is this spirit that makes happy
homes and plants the seeds of pros¬
perous counties and progressive states.
If our citizens should invest money
in their neighboring comities we fear
their first love would have no con¬
genial abiding place, and that our
own dear county would grow jealous
for want of attention. So we point
them to the possibility and probability
of our own county. We are about
to get a railroad to Carnesville.
Nothing i;i the world can keep it
from coming but men failing to do
their duty. I'arnesvillc i* in the verv *
heart of the county, surrounded by
the best lands and citizenship the
state affords, anxious to he the friend
of the whole county and promising
the greatest dividends for the least
outlay to those who will invest in her
upbuilding. Do your part in com¬
pleting the road, invest your money
in your own county and let us chal¬
lenge tho state to lead us.
Fruit in Franklin.
Georgia is gn*at fruit state. Many
|-. time 00<n,l,sint and talent ' ss mc to " the im culture ‘ giving of their
ap¬
ples, peaches, pears, grapes, water¬
melons, etc., and are finding the bus¬
iness remunerative as well as pleas¬
ant. Franklin county should give
more attention to the matter. Tins
is a fine climate for grapes and other
fruits. There is money for the man
who will take hold of the business in
Franklin county and give it a fair
trial.

Tri-County Fain.
Considerable interest i* manifested
by the citizens of flourishing Georgia
counties in local fairs which may be
held this fall, and the proposition that,
several counties put their exhibits to¬
gether and thus contribute to one
fair, which shall answer for all of
them, seems to he meeting with pop¬
ular approval. For instance, the
counties of Cherokee, AI ill 011 and
Forsyth are working for a tri-county
fair, and thru such prosperous coun¬
ties famed for their mineral wealth
and farm products—combining in this
way, will not fail to make a splendid
showing in a fair which will attract
general attention, and which will he
of general interest.
A fair to the success of which three
Georgia counties contribute will be
creditable to all of them, and the
grouping of their exhibits under one
roof will make a showing of which
they will be proud; and besides, this
method will induce a spirit of friendly
rivalry which will put each county
011 its mettle and biing its best and
worthiest work to light.
The moneyed men of the counties
named are enthusiastic for this gen¬
eral fair, and the funds will not he
wanting to .sustain it; and it is nota¬
ble that the tri-county idea of fairs is
not confined to three counties, hut
interest in i! is spreading in other
sections. It has taken hold and has
stimulated the people to renewed ex¬
ertion on indu'trial lines, and if a
number of these fairs are held we [ire-
diet that they will result in good to
the counties which may lie represent¬
ed in them. The spirit of industrial
rivalry which they engender will not
fail to have beneficial results, and
there are few, if any, counties in
Georgia too poor to make a good
showing in a local, state or national
fair.— Constitution.

Cotton Industry Coming South,
A writer in Harper'.* Weekly, in
speaking of the great cotton district
of New York, whore almost all tiro
mills in America arc represented by
commission merchants, says:
“Of late there has been a
dons activity and no little foreboding
among dealers in cotton goods, owing
to the fact that a large amount of
crpital has recently been invested in
cotton manufacture in the south.
The great bulk of the new southern
corporations, of course, have estah-
lislied agencies in New York. Just
imagine what the increased capacity
for cotton production next year will
be over that of this year with
sixty new corporations for the
ufacture of cotton goods organized in
the south in the past eight, months!
A very wealthy and prominent cot-
ton man, who has, besides several
New England cotton-goods accounts,
two from the south, sail] to the writ-
er: ‘There is going to he a heavy
smash in our business right here, just
as sure as the heavens are above us.
It doesn't pay us now to make cot-
tons as it did. The tiling is
done. Look at all these stately
buildings,’ [minting across the street,
‘they did make money once; now they
are little better than genteel pawn-
shops. These houses round about us
are carrying the mills they represent,
Why, bless you, there are a hundred
and more of cotton mil is in the New
England states the owners of which
haven’t money enough to buy the
dyes for the orders they receive.
The commission men have to furnish
the money for the raw material and
for the labor, and then trust to luck
and Providence that our commissions
will recoup us. This, southern move¬
ment, I repeat, is alarming. ■> >>
—O. E. Ware, a prominent citizen
of Oconee county, was shot from am-
bush last week while returning from
Athens. Two men, who an* suspeet-
burning Mr. Ware's gin last fall,
will he arrested as the would-be as¬
sassins, as they had threatened to
take his life.
