HOWISTHISFORFARMINGt EXPBRIMEHT STATION SHOWS WHAT CAM Bl DONE If th* Intensive System to Kent up Any Farmer Can Do It, Says Col. B* X Bedding. In the midst of the many complaints that coma from the agricultural class* ea who deprecate the low price of cot* ton and with good cause complain of the effects of the weather on their crops, it is refreshing to know just whet can be done if good work and close attention is given to crops. As these facta and figures come from Georgia's Experiment Station many farmers will say, perhaps: "We could do it too if the state paid for it,” but that is an argument too oft relut ed to again be discussed, and even then would not the idea suggest itself that they might do likewise by devot ing their time to intensive farming instead of planting every acre in sight without regard as to how or when they may cultivate it? This is not a moral lecture to the grumbling class nor can it be said that it is an article giving the tech nique of farming, but it points a moral, Col. R. J. Redding, the director of the Experiment Station, yesterday stated to a Call reporter that from 48 acres planted on the fatm in small grain and peas that he had gathered 1,100 bushels of oats and 50,000 pounds of peavine bay from the same ground ; 400 bushels of corn, and from sixteen of the acres bad already picked and ginned 17 bales of cotton with the prospect of the yield reaching 24 bales These are not fancy figures but (acta, and a visit to the farm will verify them as well as the fact that intensive farming pays. The Price of Cotton- The following from the American, a politico economic journal of the highest repute, corroborates our opin* ion. "Cotton is lower in price than at any time since the civil war. Cause said to be big crop and overproduction. But here is a little pointer that points in the other direction; Northern spin ners have thus far taken 41,841 bales of the new crop, against 110,871 bales taken up to this lime last year. Has not under consumption, a picayune demand bad something to do with the fall in price?” Beats the Klondike. Mr. A. C. Thomas, of Marysville, Tex , has found a more valuable dis* covery has yet been made in the Klondike. For years he suffered un* told agony from consumption, accom panied by hemorrhages ; and was ab solutely cured by Dr. King’s New Dis* covery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds.

Griffin district gave Candler 226, and Hogan six, which was the full strength of the populist vote in this 'fttiirict. The three constitutional amend* ments were carried by a vote of 182 for and 25 against the amendments. The dispatches from all over the State show that a small vote was oast, but the democratic ticket won by a good majority. The following county officers were elected without opposition : Clerk of Superior Court—\V. M. Thomas. Sheriff—M. F. Morris. Receiver of Tax Returns—H. T. Johnson. Tax Collector —T. R. Nutt. County Treasurer—J. C. Brooks. County Surveyor—W. M. Holman. Coroner—Jesse Williams. County Commissioners—Robt. F. Strickland, W. W. Champion, W. J. Futral. Holmes As a Punster- It was said of Oliver Weldel Holmes that some of bis best jokes were made at limes when there w nobody to appreciate them save a chance listen* er, saye the Youth’s Companion. One such fortunate listener tells of a reply which she, sitting in a street car, beard Doctor Holmes make to a complaining writer of title, wit and less talent. "I’ve worked with sll my heart on that book,” said the young man, who bad been treating the Doctor to a long account of a recent collection of poe* try which he bad edited. "I’ve used my best taste and judgment and re* search, and I feel-confident that no one could have done the thing better or more thoroughly than I have. And what reward do I Harsh criti cisms for my omission of a few popu* lar poets, and a paltry hundred dol* lars!” ? "A hundred dollars I” echoed the Autocrat of the Breakfast Table, wear ily. "Why I shouldn’t have written that book for a thousand dollars, I’m sure.” The collector of poetry smiled with gratification, but the listener turned to regard a passing dray, lest her face should betray her.
