AS IMPORTANT ORGANIZATION.
On Tuesday of last week a num
ber of ynyng farmers of Georgia
*od adjoining states effected an or*
ganization at tbe little town of
Holton, a few miles below Macon,
which if carried out is destined to
work a revolution in agriculture
in tbe South. A club was organ*
ized under tbe name of the Young
Farmers’ Club, wbiob has the iol
\ lowing objects in view:
1. To bring togelbcr in a single
association tbe younger and more
active agriculturists of the South,
men who havo engaged in the pur
suit since the war, and who believe
that the methods of the old plants,
tion system should he buried along
with slavery, upon which it rested
as its basis.
2. To encourage the introduction
of new and improved farming im
plements, and to adopt new and
better methods in the cultivation
and preservation of the soil.
3. To promote the introduction
oi blooded stock, cows, horses,
sheep, hogs and poultry, and to ex
tend the cultivation of grapes fruits
and vegetables, and thus diversify
the crops as well as the occupation
of tbe planting classes.
4. To divorce agriculture from
partisan politics, and to induce tbe
owners and the cultivators of the
soil to devoto themselves to the
development of tbe resources ol tho
country, and the building up ot
our material interests so far as the
same relate to agriculture in all its
departments.
Tbo Club was organized by tho
election of the Hon. W. J. Norlhcn,
of Hancock, as president, Mr. B.
A. Nisbet, of Uibb, as vice-presi
dent, and Mr. Sidney Herbert, of
Fulton, as secretary.
Sumter county was represented
at the mecllog by Messrs. John T.
Argo and W. C. Toole, tiie latter
making an informal speech.
Wo regard this organization as
important, first because of the oh
jests it has in view, and second be
cause tbe organization is composed
of young men witli advanced ideas
who see tbo necessity of an im
provement in the roethuds of agri
culture, and who go iuto tbe work
of improvement with the enthuai
asm of youth and without the preju
dice of age. It is such an organi
zation as tbe South most greatly
needs, and is in tho line which the
Recokdeb has so frequently and
urgently advocated. There is no
section on tho faco ol tbe globe so
well adapted to diversified agricult
ure, and no section in which it ia so
little practiced. With a ollraatc and
soil adopted to tbe profitable rais-
ing of almost every cereal and fruit
and the raising of all kinds of stock,
by pursuance of proper methods it
can be made the wealthiest agri
cultural seotion in tho world. We
are glad to see that the young
farmers realize these facts and pro
pose to work upon them. An aux
iliary club should he organized in
every county and Its mectiugs at
tended by every young farmer, and
the old oneB too, for that matter.
It will not only tend to make farm
ing more profitable, but to keep
young men on the farm, Instead of
sending them to tbe cities to cn
gage in tbe trades and professions.
We wish the organization God
speed.

The New York Tribune pointed
ly declares that in the States the
Republicans can hope to carry
those tor Blaine cast at least four
fifths of tbe Republic?!) vote,choose
19T electors, and give 400,000
ma|orlty, while those for all other
candidates, or undecided, cast in
all 573,044 Republican votes, or
less than onc-Ofth, choose 57 elec
tors and give 100,000 majority.
Should Blaine again be set back and
bis followers sulk it would be some
what frigid for tho grand old party
next November. It is not likely,
though, that the party will be at
all disturbed, ft has a way of
healiug its dissensions in Presi
dential years that its opponents
would do well to imitate.
The Republican National Con-
vention will consist of 820 dele
gates. Of tiieso the Southern
States will havo 300; the Northern
States, 503; the Territories and
Districlof Columbia, 18. Thcgeo-
grapbicai divisions of the North
will be represented as follows:
New England, 76 delegates; Mid
dle States, 156; Western States, 270.
It will require 411 votes to nomi
nate. The calculators are at work,
and we may lie expected to bo as
sured ere the convention meets of
at least a round dozen of favorite
sons. However, the lucky man, it
would appear, is yet to be named.
It is said that an electric hand
lamp has been invented, the il
luminating principle of which is
generated by some simple chemi
cals that are ridiculously cheap and
easily manipulated. A little slid
ing drawer at the boLtom of the
lump holds the electric spark in so
lution, while, hy simply touching a
button, a magnificent light is de
veloped or extinguished, as the
case may be. This lamp does not
specially differ in appearance from
the ordinary kerosene affair, and
can be used in tho same way, hut
with'a complete absence of trouble,
odor or danger.
Next Tuesday tho Morrison bill
will coins up in the Committee of
the Whole lor consideration.
Morrison will close his side by an
hour’s speech. Jl is understood
that the first voto will be on n mo
tion to strike out the enacting
clause. Should this succeed, as
many protectionists say it will
of course it kills the bill; but
s'lould it uot prevail, then the bill
will be considered by clauses,
which will bn amended, or adopted
in their present form. The hill
will then ho reported to the House
for final disposition.

A gentlemen by the name of
Clarke gave us a history of a catfish
that be Knot* to be twenty-eight
reals old. He caught in a branch a
little mad cat or “kitten” about
two incheB in lenght. Ho took the
fitn home and put it In a well, where
it lias remained for twenty-eight
years, and has grown to be sixteen
inches long. Mr. Rad Browning,
living near McVille, has in his well
a catfish that be placed there four
teen years ago. Every year when
tbe well is cleaned out, the cat is
carefully caught and put in a tub
of water, where it remains perfect
ly satisfied until returned to the
well.
