Brown, of Pulaski, pneskiisg.
Mr Julian R Lane, welhknown
in LaGrange, received the third
prize, $25 in gold, offered *tey the
citizens of Macon, for the third
best four acres in wheat in 'Mid
dle or South Georgia. Tire aver
age was 41 i bushels to the fiacre.
Mr. Lane also received the pre
miums'offered for the ftzor rbest
acres iußibb ecunty.
Many prominent planters 'were
in iittentiance or the convention,

and Alabama aa I other States,
were present.

planting »cf whoa, in Georgia,
insuring jtare Hoik . The foJJow
ing extract from his speech, (re
garding impure loads, especutlky
Hour, is of interest twill j
should impress our .fanners wivhi
the imporUace of raking suppitee
for home contumptioc:
“High-priced wheat a mans high
priced flour, and those of jjon who have
harvested n sufficiency of grain to in
sure a full bread *upply f»*» your fami
lies during the .next twelve months
will not !»' comp*lied to s pend the
profit of your cotton crops in order to
have an abundance as flour iirea 1 on
your tables. You as*' not only hide- i
pendent of high-priced Hour, which I
will soon be shipped into the South I
from Western mills tori’ieet the wants
of your less thrifty bretfiren, but you
will have pure Hour, a food hardly pos
jib’e to lie bought free from the praeti -
cal adulteration of shrevd business
methods. It would lie bard to find .4
brand of Hour on the markets today
which is absolutely pure.
“A gentleman, who is at the head of
the largest wholesale grocery house in
Atlanta, a short while ago informed me
Ahat he had not a single article of pure
food in his house, and that it was im
possible to buy pure foods. He said
that glucose was largely used in the
Hour mills, and that a pure barrel of
syrup eoui<J not be found in the city.
The same thing was said of auger, cof
fee, lard and everything else handled
for trade. It is an established fact that
machinery has been perfected which
will now mix in with the wheat bran
finely cut shavings, and do it so nicely 1
as hardly to be detected except upon
the closest examination. Many of our
dairymen are daily feeding a mixture
of bran and pure shavings to their ele
gant Jerseys. If the laws of our coun
try cannot be 8<» framed as to give us
pure foods, the farmers, at least, are
independent, when they turn for relief
to their own resources. Purity in all
things occupies a peerless position out
on the farm, for there everything is as
the Creator intended it to be. untram
melled by the greed of a busy commer
<jjal world,”

What Mrs. Myrick Says.
Mrs. Marie Louise Myrick
very sensibly says: “ I'he news
papers of a town fire its looking
glasses, it is here you see your •
selves as others see you. Aou
smile on them and they stni le
back at you, you frown on them
and you are repaid in kindness’
They tire the reflex of the town,
if the town is. doing business,
the newspapers will show it in
their advertising ct hi tuns. If
the merchants are sprit itless fel
lows, whose stores are jumbles
of junk and jam. the newspapers
will show it by the lack of space
they take. If you want the
world to know that you have a
live town, you can only let it be
known through its newspapers.’’
To this Editor Shaver, of the
Daltou Argus, adds: “That’s it:
\ke a good adv., in your home
vspaper, pay promptly and
aly for it, and give the editor
I cash subscriptions for

Afcjut Poth Rico.
The census of the island of
: Porto Rico has just been oticially
I completed. The population is
953,245, an increase in the past
ten years of 14 per cent. The
area of Porto Rice, which is
about one-twelfth part of the size
of Cuba, is 3)606 square .miles;
! and, comparing this area with-the
i population of .953,244. we fi.jd
that Porto Rico has persons
to the square mite. This is quite
dense population, beiag equal
do that in MassaehusetU.. twice
that in New York and three times•
filial in Ohio. The territory is
about equal iri extent to tire coun
ittes of Montgomery, Be I loch,
Russell, Baroour and Pike. which
have a population of about .150.
j QOO. The evenness of the [>opu
-1 latioc throughout all the munici
pal .districts in Porto Rico is
extraordinary; and even in the
least populous district, has a
density equal to that of Indiana.
There ;vre four cities on the island
with a population of over 8.000.
The population is largely rural
aud agricultural, only 8 per cent,
being a town population, while
the population of the United
States is 29 per cent, urban.—

What Is 16 To 1?
Say what you please about Bryan.
But he certainly stands fur some
thing.
He had rather have the presidency
than go to Washington on any train
except the IB to 1.
It is refreshing in these days of cym
bling headed politicians, with weather
cock views to see a statesman who has
a clear idea of what he’s for and the
manhood to stand pat.
But. by the way. Mr. Bryan ought to
have gotten out a “Silver Primer.”
The ignorance on the silver question
cuts a bigger figure than IB to 1 at the
conyention,
’ Two intelligent Democrats came
near lighting in a hot discussion of sil
ver last night. A crowd gathered.
At last one cried :-
“You don’t understand the question.
I’ll give you $25 if you’ll tell me what
16 to 1 means?”
“Why, 16 silver dollars to 1 gold
dollar, don’t it?’’
“Why, certainly not. Now. I’ll give
you $25 if you’ll tell me what the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at a
ratio of IB to 1 means.
He couldn’t do it.
“It’s open to the crowd,” stated the
triumphantly. “What does it mean?
What is the definition?”
Not a man ventured an explanation.
“There now.” said the man, “just
as I thought. The woods are full of
voters who are ‘cussing’ Bryan about
something they are ignorant of
“What Mr. Bryan ought to do is to
get out a ‘Silver Primer.’ Even the
delegates, some of them at Kansas
City, don’t seem to know that there
can lie no free coinage of silver with
out a ratio.” —Smith Clayton, ;n At k

Ant ICnuinecnai.
Something new and interesting about
ants was learned by a Mount Airy
florist recently. For a week,or so he
had been lathered by ants that got into
boxes of seeds which rested -on a shelf,
To get rid >it the ants he put into exe
cution an old plan, which was to place
a meaty bone close by, which the ants
soon covered, .every one deserttag the
bmvs of seeds. As soon ns the bone
Wor*‘d become thickly inhabited by the
little creepers the florist tossed it into
a tub of water. The ants having been
washw.l off, the Ikhic was put in use as
a trap a*gain.
Then the florist Rethought himself
that he would save trouble by placing
the bone In the center of a sheet of fly
paper, beftevlug that the ants would
aever get U> the bone, but would get
caught on |lie sticky fly paper while
U'ytag to retch the food. But the
florist wan surprised to find that the
ants, upon diwovering the nature of
the paper trap, formed a working force
and built a path on the paper clear to
the bone. The material for the walk
was sand secured from a little pile
near by. For hours the ants worked,
and when the path was completed they
made tbelr way over Its dry surface in
couples, ns In a march, to the bone.—

The French Worlftnnn.
The French workman is the creature
of the street for the sense of the joy
of life and the creature of the home
and the workshop for the sense of the
hardship aud sometimes of the sorrow.
Fashioned as he is in this way, two
outside forces contend for the poss<*s
sion of him. The question of ques
tions is, “Will he take his guidance
from the recognized agencies within
the law or from the agmieles of re
volt?" The state and also, as we have
seen, the church offer him all sorts of
bribes and l»oi|yses to cpiisenMo worjt
fn tlielr way. They recognize bls trade
nnd self help societies. They try to
get him to the altar as a devotee and
to the urn as a voter. But he has
heard of Utopias, and he longs to have
One moje struggle for absolute perfec
tion at short notice, though he may
have to Iny down his life in the at
tempt.
The \ey to modern French history is
to be found here. Every political
movement lias to be a compromise be
tween the aspirations of the faubourg
and the world as it wags. The French
worknuHi has been bred in the belief
in revolution as a recognized agency
of progress and by instinct and habit
he loatlies second best. The old order
offers him the churches, the thrift and
benefit societies, co-operation, insur
ance against accidents, education, tech
nicnl and other the old political eeon
omy, in a word, and the paternal state.

mune. anarchy sometimes and with
