LABOR IN FARMING).
it is the complaint of farmers in
tlic South timt the labor employed
Cals up all their prollts, if indeed it
doc9 not make a hole in the capi
tal; and, judging from what we have
seen of their methods of fa'rming,
wc believe they arc correct.
There should be a remedy for
tills, and there is.
The employment of improved
and labor-saving implements will
save not less than half the labor
and secure belter crops and better
labor.
As an example, wc lately saw a
negro plowing, whero it took six
furrows locultivatconerow. An im
proved one-horse cultivator would
makethesesix furrows atone round,
doing the work equally as well, and
save live-sixths of the timeand labor.
In itiior words, by the use of an
improved cultivator, one man and
mule would do tiie work of six men
and six mules. I f a planter comes
out even at the end of tiie year
with tbc present methods and im
plements, how much would be bis
prollts with the use of improved
methods and improved implements?
Not only is there saving of labor
by the use of improved implements,
but there is a saving of crops.
TVlien the grass is growing fast in
the cotton and corn, how much
would be saved in getting over the
ground in ono-sixtli of the lime?
Ifow many timos would a cotton
crop thus bo saved from being
choked up and destroyed by grass?
Grass grows quickly at tbc most
critical lime in the growth of cot
ton, and timo means monoy then.
We have said Hint improved im
plements would secure better labor
and wc propose to prove it. Sup
pose that by tiie use of improved
implements you rcduco your labor
ing force one-half, and every other
planter would do the same? Then
instead of hunting laborers, and
taking what you can get, laborers
would limit you and you could sc
loot the best. Laborers would soon
learn that to secure employment
they must do better work, and thore
would ho rnoro emulation among
them to do their work well and
satisfactorily. Then tho planters
would control labor, instead of la
bor controlling them.
With the use of improved imple
ments and improved methods, farm
ing in Southwest Georgia would
prove tiie most profitable business
n man could engage in, and as a
consequence, lands would increase
in value, improvements would mul
tiply, and Ibis section be one of
the most prosperous in the Union.

BODEMONIAN REVELATIONS.
Mr. George M. Robeson, whom
the New Jersey Republicans un
gratefully refused to send to the
Chicago Convention, says he could
write a hook quite ub interesting,
although, pel haps, lacking the lit
erary finish of Mr. Blaine's famous
volume. lie asserts that in the
early hours of the Hayes Adminis
tration he nas virtually President,
as the bead of the Navy, and that
before Mr. Hayes took the oath of
ofllce publicly on the 4th of March
be bad been secretly sworn in bv
the Chief Justice. "If the Demo
crats,” says Mr. Robeson, “had
possessed backbone in those days
they might lmvc put Tilden In.”
The cx-Sccretary of the Navy
should-by all means Bit down and
writo bis book. His party has tied
his hands during the coming cam
paign and served ::olico on him
that he is ol no further use to it.

COMPARE THE 0L1 PRICES IITH THE Iff
Mr. Belmont, of New York, sla
ted tiie ease correctly when he said
that the necessity of reduction of
the (revenue was admitted by all
parties, and that the question now
presented was whether it should be
done by a revision of the tariff re
ducing war taxes, or by such invid
ious devices as reciprocity treaties.
In the one case the representatives
of tbc people in Congress fix tbe
rate aud the articles of taxation, as
tiie constitution intended they
should do; in tbe other case, tbc
President and the Senate do it by
treaty, undermining in this way the
tariff laws of Congress. A still
worse feature of tbc case is that
tbc "reciprocity” treaties always
provide for tbc admission free of
duty of raw products of foreign na
tions in competition with those ol
the South, while no foreign compe-
titlou with Northern manufactures

A REI'ORTOIUAL RACE.
The intense interest that has keen
felt in Atlanta over the walking
match at Madison Square garden
in New York has resulted in an
arrangement between seven well
known Atlanta newspaper men to
walk a twelve hour go-as-you-please
match on Saturday next, fora good
purse and the gate money. The
gentlemen who have entered the
contest arc ns follows:
Sam. W. Small, of the Conslitu
tion; Joslnk Carter, of the Const!
tution; E. C. Bruffcy, ol the Con.
stitution; C. T. Logan, of tho Con.
stitution; R. M. Cheshire, of the
Journal; E. T. Byington, of the
Journal; lido Ramsdcll, of the
Georgia Cracker.
Tho entries havo been closed,
eaoh of the gentlemen have put up
forfeits, and tiie contest will be
made by those named above.
THE
■‘Sd?” ,,,
It is probable that tho great
wealth of tlic South ill minerals and
products of tho mine are just be
ginning to be developed. Immense
deposits of phosphate, have recently
been discovered in Perry county,
Alabama, nnil it is confidently ex
pected that they will prove as ex
tensive and vaiuablo as those of
South Carolina. Many nodules
taken from tko deposits arc said to
contain front 25 to 38 per cent, of
phosphoric acid. What makes
tlieso now phosphate beds so valua
ble is that they are intersected by
tho Warrior river, by which cheap
transportation can be obtained to
tbo port of Mobile.
Tbe Courier-Journal has drop
ped the star-eyed goddess long
enough to get off tbc following:
“Tbe Kentuckian who wanted the
Democratic party to blip into power
by secretly jumping on behind tbe
Republican coach-nnd-four was last
seen with a towel round his head
trying to draw soda water from a
sunbeam.” It is suggested that
tbc days of the Republican coacb-
and-four is about over.
TILDEN A CANDIDATE.
AN OLD TICKET CONFERENCE THAT IN-
_ DILATES A RENOMINATION.
There has been a bum and buzz
of big' politicians all day at tbe
Fifth Avenue Hotel, says a New
York special of tbe 29th alt, to the
Philadelphia Press, and frequent
corridor eoferences have been held
among leading sachems of tbe
Democracy. Tbe flrst to arrive
was Smith Weed, of Plattsburg.
Next came W. L. Scott, of Erie,
tbe Pennsylvania members of tbe
National Committee, accompanied
by ex-Senator Wallace. The rear
was brought up late in tbe day by
ex-Senator Barnum, of Connecti
cut. Mr. Wallace did not seem
to a stockholder in conference held
between tbe other three.
It leaked out later in tiie day
that these Democratic leaders had
been canvassing the old ticket
probabilities, and all wero flatly
committed to the scheme of again
placing it on the track. Mr. Scolt
observed cautiously, but firmly, to
un old fnend that Tildcu would
run, and this sentiment was em
phasized by ex-Senator Stockton,
of New Jersey, who is remarkably
solid in Tildcn’s confidence. Cer
tain it is that within the past forty
eight hours intimate friends of the
Governor have not hesitated to an
nounce that this programme would
be carried out with Mr. Titden’s
reluctant consent, and in com-
piaince wh.b the earnest pleas that
reach him from all parts of the
country.
Col. Merchant, a leading Demo
crat of Missouri, also gave out that
this programme seined to be au- We promised in issue of the Recorder of January 2d, to give ypu some prii
eonnivcVat, by the s»ge“of Gram- ™ ™S 1 ed _ and marked down , our g°,° ds - „ We a » now prepared and ready to “
ercy Park. He spoke of tbe long
headed diplomacy by which Tilden
had managed to rest quietly on his
oars till the entire Democracy was
sending up a wail for him to take
tbe field, under the impression that
he would not be seduced into an
other campaign, and now that he
lias them committed everywhere
he feels disposed to change bis
mind.
Mr Barnum, with bis character
istic caution, was silent when ap
proached on the subject. Those
who believe that this plan has finally
been d cided on agree that the head
of the ticket, with good nursing,
would be likely to outlive the elec
tion, and possibly last four years
longer, but that, if any accident
should carry him offafter the Tilden
electors had been duly chosen in
November, they could, when the
proper time came, cast their ballots
tor any man they chose. In this
event they think it likely and only
reasonable that Mr. Hendricks
would inherit tbc vote.
