Richmond,Va 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.

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.

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.
