’Tliij lovely senator is one of (InmV
o.sp*ii:il I’ets, and is in beany sym
pathy with the adr:iiiii*t ration; and
•>ifif his spei-ohoH .advocates reirearit
;inont ami reform—claiming this as 1
\ti*e ok: of policy of the p irty in power.
/An Alharjr eorreapondent of the
Tribune thtw alludes to thd late
speech of Mr. Conk ling:
ftosco* Conk ling spoke at Twcddlc'
Sllall to-night one of th-'hir
•gout andienc<B that has ever been
wen in that building. Mr. Henry
•Smith, the counsel of the Canal Inves
tigating Committee, and one of the
’tuost prominent of the canal thieves,
was chosen to pre ide, and -made a
speech of some length, highly l flavored
•with'the eosenee of “bloody shirt"
wifil general reform.
And the Tribune makes the fol
lowing comment, which does not hold
up the senator’s iflbrt as oue very
likely to beiu fitfirs jry:
Senator Conkling’s sivpe.h at Al
bany will hardly regain for him the
iiffiucnf ill position in national {politics
v Inch he occupied when he appeared
in the New Vork canvass as the
mouthpiece of an apparently securely
seatedmHminisiration; nor will it add
Wiinsngth to liis party In the pending
campaign. There is little in this
► perch which partisans of less note
l ave not before said quite ns forcibly,
and with no perceptible effect upon
the great mass of voters who have
thrir faces set in the direction of Re
fo'm, and arc not to he turned from
i* by sneering criticism of steps nl
twuiv taken with that object, mtich
lcs by faint praise of this Reformer
or disparagement of that one. For
one", Mr. Cnnkling evidently lias lit
tle faith in hi* own efforts; he merely
talk* to fill his'nppoinlmenl*. Thdrc
must be better work than this for the
’lTepubkoaor ticket in this State, or its
' eanso will be lost before the battle is
fought.

Ciianok YornPiinrtisAWMK. — Ever
since the war most of tho papers in
tho •‘black belt’’ have been advising
the farmers to plant, more grain. Hut,
judging from the little heed that, Ims

we, fi>r one, recommend a change Of

her garden and truck patch’in cotton.
Let the cows and chickens all be sold, 1
so tliat the girls can employ all.their’

Let the whole family wear cotton,

Sorghum Cane.
Wisdom’s Store, Nov. 1, 1875.
En. Visitor.-— I have been reques
ed by some of the readers of your
io*t va’nable and interesting paper
-i communicate ii r.gud to local
i format ion.
1 have licen long raising the sol-!
.hum catm, and of course I have had,
e-me experience in rcgtr l to jt. I
know, or believe, .nt lunst, that we
armers cannot raise a mnro'profitable
crop. "1 contend that, when property
managed,lit will prove no <bnth!g.
[ Imvo boon i'niiii*g tlie Afi icß red
lop’fcr thirteen yea s, and find it i*
i be'best .hud surest variety that I
have ever raised, ft yields Ifine’y,
stands perfectly eiec.t, and is proof
against all winds except cyclones. 7
have never had but one cro;7d;lown
down in thirteen years, and when
•blow n down it remains straight. “As
the tree falls, so it shall be.”
Now for planting. And while I
presume there are a varie'y of notions
among farmers iiu regard to wariona
crops, my -time to plant a crop of sor
ghum in from The 10th to the loth of
May. By so sloing, you have your
cane not to conflict with fodder-gath
ering time. And that is not all.
You will understand that it is a crop
that matures best in the fall. If plan
tid upon light, sandy soil, volt wil,
have brighter syrup. If on rod land,
you have a tolerably red syrup, hut
very good. Width of rows four feet;
from eight to ten inches in the drill;
from one to two stalks j.n the hill.
V\£e know that there is inigo or
less prejudice ugajust sorghum. They
say that ii will exhaust land. Now,
if thirteen .conseeui ive crops on the
same ground u il! not exhaust the soil,
then aw ay with that idea.
I have just finished making up rnv
crop) of sorghum syrup of 57 gallons,
wfbiol; I think is equal, if not better
than most of the syrups that you buy
in our markets.
I use the large salt kettles, or pans,
so-vCftlltsil. I think I prefer them to
the evaporator. I can control the
heat under my furnace with more
ease than that of the other mode,
mid I know that I can test, it better
an one body, and can very readily
■tell when it is the proper consistency.
Then I have a good, heavy-bodied
syrup.
Some ray that the cane will kill
stock. I have been feeding my stock
for thirteen years, and have never
known a horse, or cow, or anything
refuse to eat it. As for the reed,
they are worth so much grain for
hogs, poultry, eto. It is the best food
for poultry of anything I have ever
tried. Feed your liens on the seed,
and you will have all tho eggs you
want. Tho fodder is excellent food
for stock. I think it almost equal to
any other fodder.
I think I have said enough on this
subject at present. I would say to
all farmers, let every man make his
own syrup, lick ’lasses, and swing on
liis gate. D. B. Davenport.
Poor Fellow ! —II. 11. Sutherliu,
of Meriwether county, tells the Vin
dicator that ho has made meat, corn,
wheat and forage enough, hut not
enough cotton to do him. That just
shows that wo have been wrongly
tdvising tho farmers all tho time.
Mr. S. ought to put everything in
cotton another year—even to his
horse lot. H"W can onr people ever
got out of debt unless they make big
cotton crops!

who is quite spry for one other age.

branches and eight ears. The ears

in the Oconee river, and caught at
one baiting three ca’fish averaging
six and a half feet long, nnd making
a total length of nineteen and a half
feet, and also about a bushel of smal
ler cats. The basket was too heavy
to lift into the boat, and had-to be
drawn through the water to a sand
bank on the shore, where it was rolled
out on land. The next time the bas
ket caught an alligator about nine
Let long.’ Thus w'e have told the
story as it was told to ns. Wc never
learned the kind of bait used, but no
sensible ’gator, it seems to us, would
venture i.uto a fish basket for anything
