I was very glad of the chance t hat
threw ntc into the company Mr. J.
F. Stoue, of the Savannah Morning
News, tor lie gave me the key to the
financial condition of the South. He
lays it all to cotton. He told nte
that he had been preaching fruit
growing, corn growing, stock raising
in the place of so much cotton, tell
ing tlio farmers that if they would
raise their own vegetables, meat,
poultry and eggs, and not so much
cotton, they would get just ns much
monev for the cotton crop, and save
paying out so much for the things
they now buy. air. Stone mentioned
one instance in particular. lie was
at a store in a country town where
eggs and turnips from Tennessee,
and bucon from Kansas City, were
for sale and the farmers were buying
them when they could have raised all
of them better than those of whom
they were originally bought. With
everything favorable to the growth of
live stock, poultry and vegetables
there is nothing to prevent the na
tive Georgia farmer from getting
rich as do those who come from the
North. A gentleman in Macon
seemed to have correct notions. “What
we want in this country,” he said, “is
to get into a fashion of running as
you do in the North; we are too
sleepy and indolent, and we have
fallen behind. When yon North n rn
fellows come down here you get rich
every time and we don’t cure. We
need waking up.”
When they do wake up there will
he wealth in Georgia beyond compu

Itrrlcw of Social and Financial Conditions
In Oortf!*—Man'* KntcrprUc, >
I had heard so much of political
conditions in the Smith that I was
anxious to know exactly where the
people of that country stood. It was
a subject? that I did not cure to open
up feuritig I would put those I ques
tioned on their guard and they fear
ing my northern prejudices, would
draw it too nnld. 1 was very fortu
nate in being party to a conversation
in which I got at the truth of the
matter without in any way showing
my own interest, I listened while
two geutlemen discussed the politics
of the state. I found that politics in
Georgia are very much as they are in
Ohio. The democrats und republi
cans both want offices and employ the
usual means to get them, while the
populist vote is quite iarge. 1 was
not asked what my political prefer
ences were and I do not believe any
one I met while there cared what,
party I support. No man who goes
there from the North will be ques
tioned as to his politics.
With the politics of the South the
social conditions are connected much
more closely than they are in the
North. There is a burner between
the whiles and blacks that is very
well defined and I do not believe
that either one of these two classes
cures to surmount it. The white
matt in the South is dominant,
but there is a more cordial feeling
between tho two races than the aver
age Northern men look for. They
each have their own churches and
schools and their own society. Neith
er class expects or desires to mix
socially with the, other.
The average, negro of the South is
improvident to a degree and utterly
lucking in ambition to improve his
condition financially. ’ If lie has
enough to eat he is happy and care
free. Those who work at piece work
such as working in the turpentine
orchards and at cutting logs can
make good wages at the price paid
but. alien they have earned about
a dollar in a day, they quit and none
of them work on Saturday. Farm
and mill hands are paid from 50 to
75 cents a day and I never saw a
more cheertql lot than those at work
on the farms und in the big saw mill
operated by the Tift Him, at Tifton.
It was my good fortune to be in
vited to attend an “institute” while
in Georgia. 1 suppose it would have
Seen called a church social in tins
country or possibly a fair. It was
given by the ladies of Tifton. for the
purpose of raising money to furnish
the Methodist parsonage, if I do not
forget. I was glad to have this op
portunity to catch Georgia society oft'
its guard, ns it were, for the invita
tion was given and accepted ori a
moments warning. The belles and
beaux ot the town were present und
it was an enjoyable affair altogether.
The entertainment was held in the
pretty school house and some very
handsome ladies presided at the
various booths amt stand and waited
on the tables where refreshments
were served. My host introduced me
to a number of the ladies and ge--
tleiuen and I found them to he eti-'
tertaiuing and full of kindly words
to the'stranger within their gates.
Though it, was only the 8th of March
doors were wide open and voting
women in pink or white dresses
served ice cream and confections or
sold the men white aprons. A divin
ity gowned in some fluffy pink mate
rial brought ice creutn und cake to
our party and collected the very
moderate bill as gracefully as could
be wished. The only strange thing
about the affair was Mine the articles
offered for sale were sold at moderate
puces. From my limited experience
1 think this is different from the
practice iit the North.
At this institute I met Mr. Harry
Holdane, who is a Northern man
with ideas, and the next day I saw
his men planting liisli potatoes, in
carrying out some of them. 'Mr.
Holdane was told that I risli potatoes
could not be grown between peach
trees without injury to the trees. He
was.willing to risk something trying
it on und lust year tried two acres
with such good results both in the
sale of the potatoes and in the ap
pearance of the tress that he is plant
ing forty acres this year and expects
the crop to net him a small fortune.
The Georgia “cracker” as tho na
tive farmers arc called, are a class to
themselves. They urc away behind
tiic times; they grow cotton almost
exclusively and live on corn bread
and bacon and a decoction which
they call coffee. . What fruit they
have is seedlings and their methods
of farming make a Northern man
very tired. I had but a limited op
portunity to study them but iny im
pression is that they are contented,
thriftless ami averse to work. They
live where fruit can be grown almost
without effort and where lumber is
only $8 a thousand; but what fruit
they have is accidcntial seedlings and
their houses are ruUely bnilt of logs
with noles for windows in which
there is no glass. Most of the bouses $£“»^SSSTZlS& £
are not even “chinked” the spaces
between the logs being covered with
j clapboards. I don’t know what their
Tlio Discovery Saved Ills Life.
Mr. (t. Caillonettc. Druggist, Benvera-
ville, 111., says: “To Dr. King’s New
Discovery I owe my life. Was taken
with La Grippe and tried nil the physi
cians for miles about, hut of no avail and
was given up anil told 1 could not live.
Having l)r. King’s New Discovery in my
store I sent for a bottle and began its
use and from the tirsl dose began to gel
better, and after using three bottles was
up and about again. It is worth its
weight in gold. We won’t keep store or

Atlanta, March 30.— Governor

arbitrators to pass upon the encroach

named what will be immediately rec
ognized as a most able and competent
board in the persons of Hon. Tlios.
R. Jones, of Dalton; II. Warner Hill,
of Greenville, and John I.. Hopkins,
of Atlanta. There is considerable
involved in this question nmong other
matters being the strip of land occu
pied by tho Central railroad from the
Forsyth street bridge into the Atlan
ta depot, worth at least $15(1,001),

A Disreputable Practiqe
which the people of the South
are resenting, is the efforts of
some to sell them imitations for •
the real Simmons Liver Regu
lator, because they make more
money by the imitation; and
they care little that they swindle
the people iu selling them an
inferior article. It’s the money
they are after, and the people can
look out for themselves. Now
this is just what the people are
doing, and merchants are having
a hard time trying to get people
to take the stuff tliey offer them
in place of Simmons Liver Reg
ulator—which is the “King of
Liver Medicines,” because it never
fails to give relief in all liver
troubles. Be sure that you get
Simmons Liver Regulator. You
know it by the same
