A WORD TO THE WISE.
The Atlanta Journal, abrtgbt and
lively paper, has the following
double leaded eatirlcal editorial
the inference of which is obvloui
And ho the Honorable Mr. Jay
Oould Is going to come down here
and try to pull a few tail feather,
out of the unsophisticated in these
parts.
We warn him to beware.
Mr. Gould is a sharp one in hi.
line, but he doesn’t know every
thing.
If he is coming to put the screws
to the weak and helpless and to
squeeze people aod wreck railroads
he will succeed. He is up to snulT
and a pinch or two over when It
comes to that.
But we hear that this able patrl
ot has the presidential bee In hie
bonnet, having been misled by Dr.
Macune’s theory that what the
country needs is “concert of action
between the farmers and the rail
roads.”
If the 'ailroad monopolists a„d
Wall street speculators are to run
the politics of the State and coun
try, the people are entitled to have
the straight goods, and Jason is
that kind of a man.
But we notify Mr. Gould that if
he loads any money to men who
are “long” on influence and
“short” on bank account he will
get left.
A word to the wise Is as good rb
wheat at the mill.
From Mr. Gould’s record, which
is quite well known, it is very safer
to say that when he lends any
money on “Influence,” the said hr
fluenco will have to have an Iron
clad mortgage attached to It.
THEY CONDEMN IT.

county, express its opinion in the
following resolutions:
Whereas, villainous and slander
ous lies have been circulated to the
detriment of our noble.and high
cause, the Farmers’ Alliance and
Laborers Union.
Resolved 1st, That we, the mem
bers of Eliavllle Lodge No 82, do
most emphatically oondemn such,
and that we hold in perfect con
tempt all men and papers who will
stoop to such means to accomplish
their polltleal ends.
Resolved 2nd, That we heartily
renew our highest confldenoe In the
Integrity and faithfulness of our
State and National officers, believ
ing them to be pure and unselfish
in their efforts to advance the Alli
ance cause.
Resolved 3rd, That we unquali
fiedly condemn the course of our
Alliance brethren In the Legisla
ture In voting for John B. Gordon
for U. S. Senator. All true alliance
men should look well to the elec
tion of their successors and select
meu who have nerve and brain to
reaist the entreaties of political
demagogues.
Resolved 4th, -That we request
the Schley County News and
Bouthern Alliance Farmer to pub
lish these resolutions. Unani
mously adopted Dec. 13th, 1890.

Experience With Peanuts.
Walter Stewart, Winchester, -By., la
Farmers Home Journal.
Seeing yonr two artloles on pea
nuts last week prompts me to give
you my experience with them this
year. I bad beard that the Spanish
peanut would mature more quickly
and could be grown without
much banking up as the common
kind, and I determined to try them
Planted them ou the eighth day
May, Id rows three feet apart, and
dropped tbe shelled nuts six
eight Inches apart, covering about
two inches deep. In about ten days
they were showing along the entire
leDgth of rows, and the ground was
given a Bhallow stirring with a live-
tooth cultivator, using th9 smallest
points. Ah the bloom began to show
profusely they were gradually
ridged up like Irish potatoes-
though making no effort to cover
up the bloom, as when the bloom
drops, small, needle-like spines are
formed, all these shoot right down
into the soil and the nuts are found
ou the end of these.
They were given a final plowing
the middle of July, and the vines
allowed to grow at will. They soon
covered all tbe grouud and contin
ued blooming and pushing the lit
tie needles into the grouDd until
gathering time, about the first of
frost,
The only pest that bothers them
Is the mole; but by burying some
grains of corn filled with "Rough
on Rats” in their tuds they were
kept under control. In harvesting
the vines are caught in the haude
and pulled up, bringing most of tbe
nuts with them. The vines are
left in the sun to oure for a day or
two, just as is clover hay, and are
then carried to a shed to await tbe
stripping off of the nuts
The foliage makes most excellent
hay. In fact, I bad bard work
keeplDg the cows and horses away
while putting it in the shed, even
though they bad fine grass, and it
was too soon for stock to need bay.
Tbe nuts will have a good deal of

dirt sticking to them, which can be
readily washed off in raising for use
In the family, but would be a seri
ous objection In raising them on a
large scale for profit.
I am Inclined to think that It
would pay farmers to raise a patch,
say, by sowlDg broadcast, thinly,
cutting the tops for bay, pulling up
for nuts, as much as the family
would need, and then turning hogs
In to clean up the nuts left In tbe
ground. My children find the nuts
very acceptable In the absence of
hickory-nuts and walnuts, and
hardly a day goes by, but they don’t
have the cook put a pan of them
Into the stove to rosst while she Is
getting dinner.
One Is disappointed on first see
ing tbe Spanish nut, as It Is much
smaller than tbe kinds usually seen
in the hucksters; but when the
pods are opened the kernels are
found to be so full and plump, that
It makes up for the seeming want
In size. There are no blanks either.
Now for my yield. I planted
about two pints of the nuts, they,
by placing six Inches apart, mak
ing five rows thirteen rods long.
Four two-t>ushel coffee saoks were
filled. Both these and my Irish
potatoes wsre cultivated by the use
of a cultivator with Interchangeable
points. I also found It Invaluable
in cultivating my strawberries.
Surely an enterprising farmer will
not long be without one. The
“Iron Age” and the “Planet, Jr.,”
are tbe best of tbelr classes that I
know of.
