OCTOBER. 14, ’84 Even Vermont is making prep aration* for an exhibit a.t New Or leans, while Georgia is sitting down quietly and letting the thing, •o far aa she is concerned, go by default. In the strong Republican States of Massachusetts and Maine the right to vote is denied to “pau pers.” But the Republicans of those States complain because Georgia requires the payment ot By reference to a notice from the Atlanta Constitution, copied in another column, it will be seen that Judge D. B. Harrell, of Web ster, is a candidate for the Speak ership of the House. The Judge would make a line presiding oUlcer, his experience and ability well fit ting him for the position. When the republicans went into power, the national treasury was nearly bankrupt. Now it contains a surplus of over $400,000,000. Behold the magical result of repub lican supremacy! When Blaine went into power, his private treas ury was nearly bankrupt. Now it contains a surplus of $2,000,000. Behold the magical reBiilt of Blaine eupremacyl The tariff, currency and other questions are not without some importance, but at the South they sink into insignificance compared with the question as to how to make agriculture profitable; how to make two blades of gra89 grow where only one grew before.— Augusta News. Our farmers don’t study that kind of agriculture—they figure how to prevent one blade of grass from growing where two grew be fore. ^ The veteran, Admiral Porter, who has been a Republican since the formation of the party, “does not want to live to see Jim Blaine president.” He sayB also that “after having been about Wash ington for some time, and a witness to the methods that obtain in the departments, he thought it would be for the advantage of the publio service to have a change.” No doubt of it. Especially in tbo navy department, which has squan dered four hundred millions of dollar»in twenty years, and has not an Ironclad afloat to day to fight an alligator. Several attempts to “bulldoze” Democrats into voting for Republi cans are reported by the latest Northern papers. Mr. Rounds, the ofliclal printer at Washington, dis charged 200 compositors a few days ago, and it is said that nt least ISO out of the 200 wore Dem ocrats. A dispatch of tho 9th from Cincinnati reports that an iron and steel company of Ohio, which em ploys about 1,600 bands, closed its two mills that day until after the eleotion, notifying its bands that if the State goes Republican on Tuesday the mills will be opened immediately, and if not, that the mills will bo closed until tho No vember election, and then if Blaine is not elected, operations will be postponed indefinitely, i'ublio indignation is intense over this effort to coerco workingmen. The Democrats of Ohio bavo sent to President Arthur a remonstrance against the swarms of Federal office-holder* who are overrunning that State and trying to persuade Union pensioners that they will lose their pensions if the Demo crats succeed. UEOBGU’S DROP REPORT. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 13.—From the advance sheets of the Septem ber crop reports of Georgia we take the following: The cotton crop of North Georgia, in compari son with an average crop, is re ported at 63, Middle Georgia and Southwest Georgia 66, East Geor gia 66, Southeast Georgia 78, and the average for the State 68. There has been a remarkable de. terioration in the condition of the crop caused by rust and shedding since the last month’s report. The reports from North and Middle Georgia fall below that of last month 18 points, Southwest Geor gia 16 points. East Georgia 10 points, and Southeast Georgia 4 points. Very little damage bas been done by worms. The crop is very considerably below the aver age for the State, but will compare favorably with that ot last year. The seasons have been unfavorable throughout tbo year for the growth of the crop in most parts of the ' State. The cold spring which caused a late start for the plant was followed by excessive wet weather and then by a general drought. These conditions de veloped rust to an unusual extent and caused the shedding of later fruit. The state of tho weather for gathering crops up to the timo the reports were made has been unusu ally favorable, and the condition and quality of the lint arc excep tionally good. CORN. The condition and prospect of the corn crop compared to au av erage is: North Georgia 81, Mid dle Georgia 92, Southwest Georgia 100, East Georgia 102, Southeast Georgia 91, whole State 93. The condition and prospect for the State is 6 points below tho report of last month, due to the effects of the recent prolonged drought on late crops. Early planted corn is generally good throughout South- era Georgia and on all tbe uplands that were properly cultivated in Northern and Middle Georgia. The drought of August and Sep tember has materially affected tbe condition and prospect of the sugar cane crop. The correspondents’ reports show the crop to have fall en off from 86 tt> 71 sinco Sept. 1. Tho average of the sections are ns follows: Middle Georgia 70, Southwest Georgia 68, East Geor gia 68, Southeast Georgia 87. Other averages aro as follows: Sorghum—North Georgia 84, Middle Georgia 66, Southwest Georgia 82, East Georgia 88, Southeast Georgia 80, wliolo State 72. Rice—Middle Georgia 95, Southwest Georgia 87, East Geor gia 91, Southeast Georgia 101, whole State 93. ff E QUOTE THE FOLLOW ISO PRICES One Hundred Men's CasHimer© Suits.

Brown, a highly respected young man and a tine mechanic, ‘met with a sudden death this moraine. He was working on a gin roller in tbe gin bouse of B. D. Bratley & Sons, when, through some disarrangement the roller was drawn to the mill shaftin, SWEET I'OTATOES. The sweet potato crop has been greatly injured in most parts of tho State by drought. On Sept. 1 there was a promise of an unusual lino yield. Tho crop was reported theD at 102 forthe State, but fulls to 81 in tho present report. South east Georgia is tho only section that shows a falling ofT in tho con dition of tho crop. In North Georgia the condition and prospect is reported at 74, in Middle Geor gia at 63, in Southwest Georgia at 75, in East Georgia at 83, and in Southeast Georgia at 112. Tho average of field peas Is: North Georgia 71, Middle Georgia 63. Southwest Georgia 73, East Georgia 83, Southeast Georgia 95, in the whole State 78. OIIUEAS.

A failure of the turnip crop is reported from many counties In every section except Southeast Georgia. The condition and pros- pcct for the sections arc : North Georgia 29, Middle Georgia 28, Southwest Georgia 25, East Geor gia 55, Southeast Georgia 92. Commissioner Hcndorsoo, in closing the leport, highly rccom. mends miiio-maize as a bread grain. It makes good loaf bread, is exceedingly palatable, and fully as acceptable as any bread made from Graham dour. The Commissioner says that the ex treme hardiness of the plant, re sisting drought to a wonderful degree, its heavy yield, far exceed ing that of corn, and then its adaptability for human food, as well as food for work stock, all indicate a coming favorite in millo- maize among the farmers of the South. “It will bo felicitous, in deed, if wc have unexpectedly fallen on a plant that will set rust at defiance, and give us both corn We can «kow you a variety of One Thou- nun.1 different styles; more of them than nil the bonses combined, from Macon to Montgomery, and at prices cheaper tbaD von can buy common Jeans to make them.

Specially was this true of many large and celebrated Clothing manufacturers who had made up numerous stocks from materi als bought on credit. These manufacturers placed their faith on lively and profitable September trade, absolutely relying on it for funds to meet their maturing paper, which they had given for piece goods, but the trade did not come, the continuous warm weather and no customers cooked their “goose,” and there was nothing left for them to do but to fail and turn their goods over to an Assignee. It was bad for them, but it is in your power to make it good for you, for, as usual, when good goods are to be sacrificed we are always on hand. Our Mr. Joe Waxelbaum was there, and notwithstanding the fact that we were already prepared with a stock of Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars, we bought Thirty-Three Thousand more in Boys, Chil drens and Men’s Clothing, Dry Goods, Dress Goods, Fancy Goods, Corsets, etc., at prices varying from 30 to 60 per cent, of the actual value.
