One of the most Important questions that now stares the South in the face, Is that of the price of the next cotton crop; for with the low prices now ruling, the lowest in thirty-five years, the surplus of over a million bales from last season, AMONG OCR NEIGHBORS. Fort Valley has a new brass band, and the boys will soon be uniformed. The Alliance caucus sat down on the Fleming redistricting bill. It was too much city for the country. The new constitution of Kentucky proposes to depose from ofUco any judge, state officer or legislator accepting a rail road pass. No Georgia legislator has yet introduced a bill to amend the Georgia constitution in a similar way. The lady speaker from Kansas, Mrs. Lease, was not with the Kansas party, Mrs. Lease, it was feared, would com plicate matters by talking too freety for the third party, and it was decided not to bring her. She couldn’t bo held down, so it was said. The Alliance speakers will be in Rome to-day, their last appointment for Geor- 1 and the prospect of another crop as j £* a> _____ large, it becomes a serious question j Ccrrdeie want, a union depot or an im- wliethcr the glut that will come in the ' p rovrrnen t j n ,j ]C accomraodatsons at Fall will not make cotton actually un-1 t]le G s. & F. railroad. saleable; and thereby bring great distress j ' on the farmer and those whom be owes.

With ono exception all tho Farmers’ Allianco lecturers of Kansas have de clined to instruct tho people In tho prin ciples of tho sub-treasury scheme. They say the people aro opposed to it almost unanimously. A vote is now being taken in sub alliances on the question of dropping tho scheme from the alliance platform. That lion. Tom Watson, tho bright and active young edngressman from tho tonth district possesses the ability to bo of great service to the peoplo of his state in tho great reforms being sought, cannot bo donbted. But that his ability is being employed to tho benefit of tlie people of the South, Alllanccmcn or otherwise, Is to bo very seriously doubted.—Constitution. The Times-Recohdeh may not know a full-blooded, bigli-toned crank whon he capers before the footlights; but . unless all signs fall, tbo most artistic Crank of this day is Edward Atkinson, who runs a perpetual motion machine In tho rolumns of tho nowspapers and magazines. He now states (in about lour columns) that the South knows nothing whatever about tho negro; while Atkinson’s Boston aggregation knows him from his youth up. PoorculTcc! It appoars that the Chicago Times has been purchased by Joseph Pulitzer of the New York World, and another prom inent journalist of Gotham, and E. II. K. Green of Chicago, tho son of Mrs, Hetty Green, the richest woman in this coun try, The new paper which will bo dem ocratic, will bo called tlio Tlmcs-World, and the intention of the purchasers is to make It tho largost, tlio most complete and the most infiucntial newspaper pub lished In the west. Thoviiii the Augusta Chronicle is vig orously opposing tlio general policy of the alliance, it Is fair enough to approve any movement that it believes Is por sc right. It says: “In Virginia the farm ers' alliance appears to bo devoting it self maitily to thu railroad question. It demands the creation of a stato railroad commission, with power to regulate rates for transportation, and proposes to pledgo candidates for tlio legislature on that question. This is a righteous cru sade. Or coi'iise Atlanta and Augusta can't agree on nnything; and the two ex ponents of tlielr respective newspaper greatness are at war on the money ques tion. Hear them; Tbc Augusta Chronicle has a strong en dorsement of John Sherman*. Unsocial record. There Is nothing strange In this, however. Those who are In favor of the Ite- publlcaa policy of demonetizing silver, are hound to endorse the Republicans wl\n de monetized It.—Atlanta Constitution. The silver question la not entirely a party Issue, The Chronicle finds 1 >elf 111 company with John Sherman; the esteemed and ln- errant Constitution is check tty jowl with John James Ingalls, who 1- a -liver it ostate. If the Constitution can atand this, we can.— Augusta Chronicle. it; and now that all the indications point to a crop as large as that just harvested, it is just as well for us to prepare our selves to see cotton sell for less money than ever before in the history of this country. The Times-Rkcohdeii is no croaker, as its record abundantly proves; but as tlio “prudent inan foresees tho evil and hides himself," so it is but tlio part of wisdom to prepare to meet emergencies that are surely ahead. The question therefore arises, what are the farmers going to do witli the 8,000,000 or (1,000,000-bale crop that Is now being grown? As was stated on yesterday by the cot ton merchant reported in The Timks- Kkcokdeh, there will probably bo no salo for the new crop until the surplus of the old is exhausted; and a forced sale means ruinously low prices, unless some thing can be done to avort such a ca lamity. To avoid the glut In tho first ninety days of the now season, caused by the now crop being forced on the mar ket, it is absolutely necessarjr that the cotton bo held back; and ns tbo Alliance undertook last season to bold cotton for higher prices; they should now, in tlio face of a much graver situation, begin the work of preparation for letting the erop come into market only as needed. True, this will bo a herculean task, when the pressure of debt upon the pro ducers is considered, but ruin will overtake many of our pooror farmers who have raised only cotton, unless by an organized system the cotton is held back for some months. Hero is a greater work for tho alli ance than anything else thoy can hope to accomplish, and tiie various stato and county alliances should begin now to.ar range with banks and merchants for such accommodations as will prevent a glut in September and October. The situation will likely bo snch that forced saios mean ruin not only to the producer, but to his creditor as well; for if the cotton don't sell for enougii to pay tbo debts, the creditor is left in the lurch also. Tho latter cannot afford to forco the farmer to sell at a sacrifice of say fivo to six cents; so that tho logic of the situation seems to demand a combi nation between tbo farmer and liis cred itor, wboreby for tbo mutual protection an arrangement shall be made to hold back tbo bulk of tbo new crop until a demand at fair prices can arise. The Tiues-Recohiieii docs not claim that this can be accomplished witli thor ough suecoss; but the gravity of tho situ ation justifies the most strenuous efforts; and tbo peoplo of the Soutii, and nlli- anccmcn in particular, will be derelict in a great duty If no effort is made to forestall this evil.

Again has tho kaleidoscope of Sain Small's genius turned; and ho now allows up in Atlanta ns cdltor-ln-chicf of the new evening paper, the Herald, which starts off to-day for fame or tlie sheriff, under tho auspices of a name rendered famous In tlie past by tlio noted trio, Alston, Grady and St. Clair Abrams. Old Si,” as ho was familiarly known in journalism ton years ago, lias just com pleted the grand rounds, and lias been everything from Mountebank to Bish op; and having exhausted the gamut of professions, starts just where lie loft off, whore ho never should have departed from; for Sam Small is a bettor journalist than lie is anything else; and ho is a (temporary) success at every thing. Tlie Herald is bound to be a brilliant success if tlio cash holds out; which it is fo.arod will not bo for long; as tho field is already so fully occupied by tho Con stitution mid the Journal that room for another daily docs not scorn to exist. The Times-Kecordkr welcomes the Herald and the versatile Small and the solid Carter into tlie ranks of Georgia journalism; and wishes them all tlio un bounded prosperity and success which they deserve. Two cratos containing twenty-one watermelons each have been shipped to Europe as an experiment. The melons were raised in Houston county and go through freight free.
