HOT A HIGJf OF POVERTY.
The Aroerious Recorder
in this unusual manner on the com
mon subject of farm mortgage*:
Some of our exchanges lay great
stress upon the fact that so m*hy
farms in this and otter States are
mortgaged, and arguo therefrom
that agriculture is at a low ebb and
farmers arc generally growing poor
er each succeeding year. We are
aware that a mortgage is generally
regarded as a sign poverty, but
like many other signs t is by no
means infallible.
Mr. Edward Atkinson has taken
the trouble to collect statistics as to
the loans made to farmers in tbe
Northern and Western States and
sets forth bis figures as lamentable
facts. Now let him collect a few fig
ures as to tbe loans and mortgages
made upon railroads, manufacturing
establishments, large hotels, mines,
and other enterprises, and the figures
of farm mortgages will pale into in
significance. There arc few, if any,
railroads in this country that are not
mortgaged to the full value of their
construction, and many of them for
a great deal more than they are
worth. Yet we do not hear it pro¬
claimed that railroading is an unprofit
able business and our railroads ,
bankrupt. IIow many merchants
are there who do not at somo season
of the year have to borrow money?
How many large buildings are there
erected that are not mortgaged?
Many of our finest churches are heavi
ly mortgaged. Our big financiers
have a large portion of their proper
ty mortgaged—indeed, many of
them seem to be banking on their
debts.
A mortgage is not alwaya a s.gn
of poverty. Indeed, in these days
of large business ventures, it may be
taken as a sign of enterprise. Even
the foreclosure of mortgages is not
always a sign of poverty, although
it may generally be taken as a sign
of depression in prices and an unfa
vorablo business year.
Why, then* should farmers be sin
glod out as poverty stricken because
they have mortgaged their property?
Many of them have mortgaged their
land in order to improve their farms
and culargo their business, just as
business men dd, as railroads do. In
proportion to the value of their prop
erty farmers, as a class, are less in
debt than any other class. A farm
is rarely mortgaged fur more than
one third its value, while railroads
mortgage their road beds before they
are constructed.
Not only is tliero greater discrimi
nation against farm property in tbe
way of loaning money on it, but
there seems to be an effort on tbe
part of financiers to depress its value
and decry the occupation an unprofit
ablo because farmers pursue tbe
same business methods that other
people do Probably if farmers
on a little more style and lived
the interest of their debts, their
mortgages would not be used to
credit tbern.

The opponents of Senator Colquitt
are acting in a obildish and disgrace
ful way when they try to dislodge
him from his high position by throw
ing chestnuts at him. A. O. Bacon,
tbe latest candidate against the Sen¬
ator, and who has published in the
Conatitntion a million worded screed
in faror of free whisky and tobacco,
is a very ancient and wormy political
chestnut, whom even sueh a success
ful ‘ruckster as the Constitution can
not palm off upon the people of Geor
gia, and therefore it attempts to an
noy the distinguished citizen by hurl
ing the stale nat at him. Somebody
should call the police and have the
Constitution locked up.
Miss Amelia Rives, a young South
ern author who has come into promi
neooe, is now reaping one of the re
salts of fame. The recent poblica
lieu of her portrait in Harper’s Mag
axine has brought her no end of let
tersfrom caanks who never snw her
in person, but want to marry her.
Miss Rives is n very handsome young
woman as well os a modest one. and
the first proposal of this kind that
she received is saul to have greatly
discomfitted her, but as each mail
brought additional letters of tbe
same import, she learned to treat
them in a very matter of fact way.
She hnsu’t decided, however, to ac
cede to any one of the propositions.

Buchanan Bauner; Did you over
touch a piece of irou with your
tongue on a frostv morning? If you
have not, try it jnst one time and
yon will have good cause to remem
ber bow ornel it is to walk out to
you barn on a cold day, pick up tbe
ticzen, bit and without warming it
in any way, insert it in the horse's
mouth. Of course it acts in tbe
horse's mouth just as it would on
your tongue—that is, takes the skin
off. And the pain i» not momentary,
bat will continue for many days, be
cause every time the horse tries to
eat tbe food will touch the raw-
places and irritate them again. The
horse will also try to avoid taking
tbs bit into bis mouth and become
fractions. To avoid having to warm
the bit each time it is used, cover it
with heavy cloth or leather or get a
rubber bit. It will pay to treat the
horse kindly.
