Tuesday, the 20th inst., has been designated on the programme as “Editors Day” at the Atlanta Ex- position, and the occasion promi rcb to be one of unusual interest. There will be a number of distin guished journalists from various parts of the country. Hon. Carl Scliurz will deliver an address, to wbicb Hon. Henry Watterson of the Louisville Courier-Journal will respond. It is anticipated there will be a very large attend ance of the fraternity of Georgia. Col. J. H. Estell, of tho Savannah Newt, President of the Southern Press Association and the Georgia Prcs9 Association, will liy special invitation make the welcome ad dress on the occasion. Truck Farming. We believe tho Recorder has heretofore called attention to the profits of truck farming and urged upon the farmers of Sumter county to engage in it. But a good thing cannot be too oltcn called atten tion to and we desire again to urge tho farmers o< tills section to en gage in this profitable branch of farming. The soil and climate of this {country is well adapted to raising vegetables and fruits of all kinds, and if tho farmers engaged in it would form associations as is being dono in other counties, they could secure favorable rates ol transportation. It must be re membered that by means of rapid transportation and refrigerator ears all tho best markets of tho North is open to us, and so far the supply of early vegetables and fruits lias not cipialcd tho demand. In Mississippi this brauch of farm ing is extensively earned on, and in early spring the markets of Chi cago and other Northern citios are supplied from this source. We learn that some of our farmers have already concluded to engage in this business, ami we hope 0M1 ers will follow their example. It would bo a good idea lor u neigh liorliood near a railroad station to engage in it us they could then club together and ship by the car load. UEOBU1A NEWS. Plain Talk. Kcv. Dr. Powers, the pastor of the Christian church in Washing ton city, of which Mr. Garfield was a member, lias been elected chap lain of tho house of representatives. 11c was not heartily endorsed by many of the republican members for tho reason that lie never voted a republican national ticket. He was born and raised in Virginia, and clnims that he have would voted for Garfield, had he been where he could have cast a vote. In addit- lion to his democratic tendencies, soon after the assnsinntion lie preached n sermon that highly in- censed the stalwart faction of tile republican party. No wonder lie was a hitter pill for the stalwarts. The following extract from the ser mon referred to, shows its general tenor: Had there been no stalwart con test against the prerogative of the executive there would have been no Treasurer Speer expresses the opinion that the State wilt not lose a dollar by the broken hanks of Atlanta and Rome, in which fands of the Slate were deposited. We are reliably informed that on last Saturday night two weeks ago Tohe Wheeler, a colored man on Mr. J. J.

Tho company will be styled the “Collins Manufacturing Company,” and will have a capital of two hundred thousand dollars— fifty thousand dollars oftlie stock already paid in. Good for Macon. Mr. W. W.

The Warrcnton Clipper says: “Our farmers ore sowing small grain beyond precedent, and the way or prosperity is opening up to them as it lias not for many years.

We received this week a qopy of the Mansfield (Ohio) Shield and Banner, which contains a large and life-like portrait of its veteran edi tor, John Y. Glessner, together with a lengthy sketch of his life written by tho editor of the oppo-: sition paper. Mr. Glessner is the oldest editor in Ohio, entering upon his career over fifty years ago, and lias published the Shield and Ban ner for over forty years. He is a sound Democrat, a vigorous writer, a large-hearted generous man, and we are proud to have been one of his pupils, having begun our edito rial career under his instruction twenty-three years ago.

We have not learned Mr. Clements’ad dress. The Harlem Advertiser says the farmers of that section are prepar ing for a big corn and wheat crop next year. It thinks this is sonsi- ble, and advises the farmers to adopt as their moto, “Plenty of bread first, and then cotton.” Stand by Organized Democracy Those who do not believe in or ganized Democracy, and manifest a disposition to encourage “independ- entism,” have only to look back twelve or thirteen years to tho con dition ot Georgia at that period. We notice that the “Independent” organ of the Seventh District has been commenting upon the extrav agance or the cost of the last ses sion or two of tlie Georgia Legis lature, and, incidentally alludes to tlie legislature during the days of Bullock. We remember very dis tinctly that tlie Radical legislature of 1809-70 sat in Atlanta over three hundred days at the rate of nine dollars per day for each mem ber, their salaries reaching about twenty-seven hundred dollars. Enormous sums were paid out for clerkships. Almost any man irho wanted it clerkship and was willing to wink at tho Radical party, or associate with its members, could obtain a clerkship at nine dollars a day whether he ever made a scratch of a pen on paper. It is true that somo ol these very men are to-day co-operating with the Democratic party, That legislature was elect ed before the Democratic party had been organized. Tlie ravages of tlie Radical party' became so great that the people who believed in honest government were forced to organize a party to protect tlie State The Republican legislature sat in Atlanln ns long as funds could ho obtained to pay their per diem, actually using tho school fund, and nil the earnings of the State Road. When tho Democratic party became thoroughly organ ized in 1870, and gained control of the State, Bullock lied, and with his departure tlie Republican pat ty of Georgia lost its grip. These results were achieved by organize tion. Georgia was rescued and saved by the organized Democra cy in 1870, and wo are opposed to any man who would destroy the unity and tho usefulness oftlie par ty by fostering iiidcpcndcnlisni. Let the organization he maintained. If the party needs purifying let it he done within the party and by tlie party, but not disintegrate it. We are for organized Democracy as long as the Radical party re mains in existence, or as long as its fragments can he concentrated under tlie banner of “independent, i s ni."— I la livti n s cille Pis'patch. — good people of Southwest Georgia will accord him that support he may deserve.
