Tho organizers of the third party
in Colquitt county have rescinded
their hasty notion, but still insist on
the Oonla platform and Stevens for

wo see in the newspapers. However,
wo believe that our good friends in
Colquitt comity will, on mature ro-
fiection, get book again on the
straight democratic platform. So
may it be.

Snow Tobacco Farm.
The editor, in company with Mr.
E. F. Paschal, went out to the Snow
Tobacco Farm Tuesday afternoon to
note the progress being made and to
witness the transplanting of the to
bacco plants with a machine trans
planter.
Owing to to exceeding dry anil
unpropitious weather the progress of
transplanting was not as rapid, as
Mr. Paschal would like for it to be;
every plant has to be watered by
hand, notwithstanding the trans
planter deposits a pint of water to
?vcry plant About sixteen awes
have been planted.
One .thing we noted which should
bo remembered by tobacco growers
is the exceeding careful preparation
of the land; the soil is thoroughly
pulverized before the transplanting
begins.
The maohine transplanter does Its
work rapidly and muoh better than
can he done by hand. It can be used
in transplanting any kind of a plant
—cabbages, tomatoes, etc. It will
have to be seen at w xrk to bo, appre
ciated.
Altogether, the prospects, is flat
tering for a successful crop of tobac
co on the Snow tarm.
