GRIFFIN GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 19 1888
THE GEORGIA MIDLAND.
Declared (o be Only Earning llnlfof
!ls Fixed Charges.
New York Jan. 17.— [Special. |—
The directors of tbo East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia railroad had a
special meeting today to consider
the proposition made to them for
the purchase of a controlling interest
in t ho Georgia Midland road. The
authorized representatives of the
Georgia Midland offered the control
of that line to tho East Teuueseee on
condition that tho latter company
would guarantee the interest on out
standing bonds of the Midland, and
pay some small price fora majority
of the stock.
The East Tennessee directors
promptly declined the offer. It cer
tainly seemed that the proposed
terms wore liberal to the East Ten
nessee, but the directors of that road
arc said to have declined the bargain
simply because they discovered upon
examination that the Georgia Mid
land was cot now earning more than
half of its fixed charges.
The above special appeared in the
Constitution of yesterday, and crea
ted quite a sensation here.
By “fixed charges” is meant Dot
only running expenses, but interest
on bonds, etc. The road is more
than paying running expenses, and
most people thought it was doiDg.
fairly well, though not making any
excessive profits.
Of course, it does not matter to
Griffin who ownes the road, provid
ed it is run as au independent line
from tho Central; and wo do not
see why the East Tennessee road
could not run it profitably in connec
tion with thiir system.

HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.
FULL MINUTES OF THE LAST REG¬
ULAR MEETING.
A Valuable Discussion ou the Rest
Methods of Preparing Grounds
for Vineyards.
Minutes ot the regular meeting of
the Middle Georgia Horticultural So
ciety, held at Africa DUt. Court
bouse, January 10th, 1888.
The question “When, How and
Where to Plant,” was taken up and
considered with special reference to
vineyard planting.
Mr. Wayman thought best to plant
on a level (or nearly so), rows to fol
low lines of terrace or ditch. Would
cross mark, forming checks, and
plant at each intersection, so as to in
sure clean cultivation by plowing
both ways. Advocated the use of a
marker and explained constrnction
and use. Would prepare the rows
only and plant before plowing the rest
of the ground. First proceed to plow
with turning plow, throwing out the
ground, then follow witiTa scooter in
same furrow, subsoiling to a good
depth. Use a hoe to plant with,
raking out the loose ground as deep
as plowed and putting in fertiltzer
at the bottom, over which rake a little
ground and set tho vine, spreading
roots out evenly on land that is level
or nearly so, and on hilly land inclin
ing all roots toward the highest part
of the slope, and cover with best soil
at hand then with turning plow
throw earth back, filling furrow bo
tween the plants, and proceed to
plow tbe rest of the ground in a
thorough manner.
The President asked about bring
ing in short rows to fill up uneven
spaces.
Mr. W. thought ho would do so
rather than have the land wash, but
would have as few as possible.
Tbe President agreed with him,
and thought a great help in prevent
ing washes was subsoiling.
Mr. Smith—Has done most ot his
planting in the primitive method,
but thought land should be well pre
pared and terraced, and then planted
in straight rows, skipping the ter
races. He thought that grapes
should be planted on a slope so as not
to suffer from too long retention of
water in a wet season, but wished to
emphasize the fact that the land must
be plowed deep to insure success.
Mr. Jones—Was anxions to learn
of better methods than his own. Had
seeu no effective terracing. Advised
using a scooter and laying off in rows
two feet wide as for cotton, instead
of using a marker. He said he had
injured his vineyard by planting it
in corn, had since planted in cotton
with much better results.
N. ?. Freeman asked how to hold
water coming in from another field,
Mr. Smith replied that it must be car
ried off by ditching.
Mr. Way man asked about cotton
seed as a fertilizer for grapes. The
President thought bones and ashes,
or Acid Phosphate a more complete
fertilizer.
The quality of soil for grapes
was then discussed. Mr. Getter
thought grapes would grow on any
soil if well prepared, but preferred
the gray land. The ideal method ot
preparing a vineyard would be to
first thoroughly subdrain the ground.
The President asked the advant
age of drawing water off under the
soil instead of from the top ?
Mr. O. thought the water sinking
into the drain opened the soil to the
air and kept it por.us and also left
most of its mineral constituents in
the soil. Tbe subject of under-drain
ing was then discussed at some
length.
Tbe report of tbe committee on
packages was called for, and tbe
committee reported prices on peach
and grape packages and also paper
bags for bagging grapes. Tho com
miltec was continued to the next
meeting.
The disposition of the fruit crop
was then considered, and Mr. Way
man appointed to correspond with
reference to disposing of it in bulk.
Tbe same subject was continued.
Suitable resolutions were then
passed on tbe death of Col Mang
bam, a valued member of tho So
ciety.
Tbe Society then adjourned to
meet at tbe same place on tbe Satur
diy succeeding tbe second Tuesday
in March. Mrs. S. M. Wayman,
Sect’y pro tem
‘‘Wliat is Woman Worth”!
asked a fair damsel of a crusty old bach
elor . He did not know, so she said:
“W. O. man” (double you, O man). But
a woman feels worth little if disease has
invaded her system and is daily sappiug
her strength. For all female weakness
es, Dr. R. V. Pierce’s “Favorits Pre
scription” stands unrivaled. It cures
the complaint and builds up tho system.

THE FARMERS ALLIANCE.
With a Batch of Local News From
li ralson. Georgia.
Haralson, Ga., Jan. 12,1888.
En Griffin News— A State Farm
era Alliance was organized at Fort
"Valley iD December, electing Hon.
(Rev.) R. II. Jacksou (a Baptist min
ister) from Franklin, Heard Co.,
President. In connection with my
communication of Dec. 31st, I neg
lected to say that ministers of the
gospel and country school teachers
were eligible to membership. Five
petitioners with nine (9) dollars can
get a charter: the initiating fee is
fitly (CO) cwntsi «nd one dollarper
annum dnes. paid quarterly. None
younger than sixteen (16) can be
come members. Members wives and
daughters are admitted into member
ship free of fees and dues, there be
ing but one degree and females as
well as males can take the degree.
Arrangements will soon be made to
appoint an organizer in each congres
sional district, so as to accommodate
those who aro desirons of organizing
an Alliance. No person can become
a member of tbe F. A. who does not
believe iu tbe existence of a God.
Being a F. A. does not conflict with
our religious or political principles;
neither can a good man (good mate
rial, I mean,) be rejected on account
of individual personality.
Why should farmers organize?
Now, it is useless for me to attempt
to discuss tbo above question. How
ever, for tbe sake of l ho curious I
will attempt a discussion. 1st. Ev
ery profession under the sun are
tborcugbily organized prominently
for the protection of their different
professions except the farmer. I
coucur in the orgaoizition manage
merit of tho different professions.
Let's see. farmers, how we come out.
Our prodaco is priced by those who
sell tons. Tbo merchant’s scales
weighs your corn, cotton, peas, pota
toe .ml every variety of homo pro
due’. The merchant's Ecales weighs
onr purchases from him. Then tbe
men not controls us and prices both
of oor goods urn! his This owing to
an organized merch-totry, and a d;s
j organiz 'd tiiier of the soii and labor
ei. Do you so.- the point? The word
'Farmers Alliance has . .

stili another the Jemand for pro
tection, wholesome laws enacted, und
that by farmers, to benefit lh- firm
ers as weii as other professions
Eqn ilizatiou is another mr- irin.
Waal u fit do you imiqia.v. ..c
farm, rs derive f/om the cotton ex
change/ I'iimply none. What do
we know about two points off or on*
Nothing. Have we not tbe same
right to demand a per cent, over
cost of making cotton as the met
chant has of a per cent., over
NUMBER 809
sale cost of his goods? Certainly
we have. Do we get it? N ». Why?
Simply because wo are a sol of disor
ganized dopes. I om using plain
English, brother fan ***. : i d unless
we heed the warning and nat fight
early, we as a profession are gone.
A few will own tbe land and tbe
masses will become worse than an /
