Georgia Wheat Crower*. The third annual conventon of the Georgia Wheat Growers’ As sociation was held in Macon last week, the president, Hou. J. Pope 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 la-nmcrs horn Mississippi and Alabama aa I other States, were present. Hou. ttarvie Ja dan addu*w«od | the contention 4nd urged 'll e 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,” . • • CSSSrw—. 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 ' and your friends, 'S Times-Recorder.” • Little Pig Hams at i Hon.

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.— Ex. Fine Head Rice. Freeman’s.

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 lanta Journal.

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.— Philadelphia Record. 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.
