there appears to be a reasonable hope
that the democrats will again elect their
ticket, and if they do elect it they will
turn up in the convention next year with
the claim that they are entitled to some

The official report of the physicians

munerative than the low prices which
a nine million-bale crop would be sure to
bring.
So far the scheme may be worked out
according to programme without much
trouble, but when it comes to the prac
tical feature a great many farmers will
be found planting as much as ever in
order to take advantage of the high
prices expected to result from a short
crop. And so many will obey this self
ish impulse that there will actually be
no great reduction in acreage.
While it is not probable that any or
ganized effort of this sort will amount
to much, it certainly is desirable that
the acreage of cotton should be largely
reduced. Sucb reduction and greater
diversification have been urged by the
papers for a great many years. It is
hard for the farmers to bo convinced
when they reach the limit of profitable
production. They will cling to cotton
long because it is a money crop. It is
only when convinced that they can em
ploy their labor more profitably on other
crops that they will give less attention
to cotton.
The Constitution is always fine, but
last Sunday’s issue was a wonder in
Georgia journalism. Photographing and

such surprising success. Editor Clark

It will be interesting to see who is
successful in tho fight between Govern

over the appointment of a judge for the
county court of Milton county. Gov.
Northen has appointed Mr. Dickson but
Col. Livingston wants Mr. Edwards, and
tho senate lias declined to confirm the
appointment. The fight is on between
Livingston and Northen in good earnest,
and the war is being carried into
