The friends of .fudge Clifford

It is said President Cleveland is

"lie builds wisely who builds
Well.” This is the motto which has
ever actuated I lie founders of the
bright little city of Tifton and those
whom they have induced to become
citizens. The buildings are all nf a
miliHtiuitiul character and bear an air
of permanency.
The Cutlibert Uibernl-Knlerprise,
a rabid Alliance paper says: “Miicune,

say this two years ago, lint we knew
it then as well as we know it now.”

Thu question of founding a Stale
Normal College is at I meting wide
spread attention. The trustees of the
Peabody fund will pay one-half of
the cost of inaiulainiiig it if the state
will pay the other half. Ii is esti
mated that $12,000 per tin tut in is
sudlcieul. The Stale could not ex
peml $0,000 in a inure prulltabh
way.
Pro. Gunn, of the Cutlibert Lib
erul-Kntcrprise, goes into hvsleries
because lie knows of some Uundulph
county farmers who have plenty of
“bog and hominy" but no money, lie
should rejoice; it coil'd lie mooli
worse with those fanners! If they
hud planted “all out ton” Inst year
they would have had no “ling mu
hominy” nor any money to buy Ilium
with.
'I’he
money power is growing
more audacious every year. It is
just now engaged in an effort to force
congress to legislate more in ils favor,
While the people are demanding a
change in Ibu financial policy of the
government, If the change is made
mid the banks of issue is stopped
Othello’s job is gone, ami tlie money
power recognizes the fact; lienee, the
present stringency is to force con
gress to continue to recognize its po
tency. The peoples’ demand must
be obeyed, the provisions of the
national democratic platform must
be inaugurated and carried out, or
there is going to be some very vigo
rous kicking. Every thing ' seems
‘propitious for u stubborn resistance
of further domination of the people
by the money p aver.

Tills Sect loll.
There are a grent many of our read
ers doubtless who understand us,
when we speak of “this section” in
connection with fruit growing, to
mean all southern Georgia or the
greater portion of it. But not so; we
mean only tliut scope of country
which experimojj! has proven to be
adapted to fruit culture. Perhaps
this is still not sulliciently definite to
be fully comprehended; we mean that
scope of country extending eastward
from Willingham station, on the
Brunswick and Western railroad,
about sixty or seventy miles or nearly
to the Oomulgce river. It then begins
on the north where the gray pebbly
soil, unmixetl with limestone, com
mences and extends southward for
one hundred miles through Irwin, Ber
rien, Worth, Colquitt and parts of
Lowndes, Brooks and Thomas coiltl-
I ies.
There are other tracts of land in
south Georgia suitable for fruit cn 1-
tme, but they are not so extensive us
that we have described above. Where
ever you find it rolling, pebbly gray
land, with a clay subsoil, you will
find valuable peach mid grape land,
hut our observation persuades us that
the best land for LeConte pears is n
sandy ridge,whine the clay is at least
two or three feet from the surface.
By reference to the map the render
will see that Tifton is located almost
in tlie centre of lliis great fruit
growing section and, because of her
excellent railroad facilities, must be
come the distributing point for the
great quantities of fruit Mini will be
grown in the near future. Our peo
ple should grasp this Idea, and begin
now the preparation to handle il
properly.
Wall from Wily cross.
The Tifton Gazette of Hatnrdiiy,
contains some unjust criticisms mid
misstatements in regard to the recent
base ball game at this place, between
the Tifton and Waycross nines. No
town in the .State contains more
courteous young men than Waycross,
and we should he sorry indeed to learn
that they had been guilty of utigen-
tlenninly comlucl at anytime, and
especially in their treatment uf visit
ors and strangers. A statement of
the game, written in the proper
spirit, will nppenr in these columns
to-morrow. There must be no hard
feelings between Tifton and Way-
cross. — Herald.
Hni. Pcrlnim should ho more ex
plicit than I he above when lie makes
charges of “unjust criticisms anil
inisstiitennmls.” The (Iazuttk re-
purled I lie game and the conduct of
Hie Waycross bull I .min just ns the
editor received the fuels from mem
bers of the Tifton team. It. con
tained two specific charges—that the
WaycresH team played men who did
not live in the town, mid that ns soon
us the game was over the players for
Waycross went about their several
businesses insleiid of mingling with
ilie visitors in pleasant sociability.
Thu main question is, are the charges
true? If not, the (iAZUTTU will he
quick le make the iiinriule Iwniini/ili<
in the Waycross ball players and to
excoriate llioso of Tifton for misrep
resenting the fuels.

There lire a great many people in-
elitteil to laugh ill the idea Hint a
I met uf haul which will .grow one
crop in perfection will not produce
iinnlhor crop with any degree of suc
cess, t, i'., there is Hoil that will grow
peaches hut net. apples, and I’irn
m'.ni.
There is a case, illustrative of the
point, in Worth county called to
iniml; Mr. Daniel S, Sumner, living
a few miles soulh of I’unlan, has a
splendid farm and produces a great
many very line tipples, but lie has
utterly failed to produce peaches.
He lias a neighbor, Mr. W. W. Monk,
living just across u branch not more'
than .1 quarter of n mile away, whose
best efforts to produce apples has
failed, but lie grows a great many of
very fine peaches. These gentlemen
attribute their respective successes
and failures to the peculiarity of
their respective soils. Who is pre
pared to dispute it?
The A thill la Journal strikes a
populrtl chord when it advises: “Don’t
lay oil'your employees—carry them
six weeks longer and the stringently
will be forgotten.” Hope the pre
dicted revival of business will come
to pass; if the stringency dosen’t let
up, very soon employers uni) employ
ees will go In the wall together.
