AN IMI’KKATIVE DUTY.
It i, the beast of Georgians that Geor
gia is an empire. When we consider the
wide range of her productions, and the
magnificcnso of her possibilities, that
■boast is not an idle one. Jiut great as
are tier productions, and grand as may
bc her possibilities, there are thousands
of acres of land (like many of the pen-
,pir> not doing duty, and millions of un
developed wealth in her mines and hills
Georgia needs men of chaiacter, thrift,
enterprise, morality and means to assist
lier sons in developing her vast rcsoiii-
ces. Better than boasting is a profert of
what has been done in every department
of human activity.
The World lias been Invited to show
its work at the Columbian Exposition,
-and the World will be there with attrac
tive displays of products. It would look
oattremely odd It Georgia, “one of the
old Thirteen,” the Empire State of the
South, should be unrepresented at Unit
grand contest of the Nations of the Earth.
lier euomiea would claim that it was a
sense of inferiority that kept her away
instead of a miserly and unpatriotic
spirit. There will be hundreds <o visit
this Exposition to discover from tho ar
ticles exhibited the capacity and value
of the country as a dwelling place.
As a matter of duty to the state, as
well as state pride, Georgia must have a
lint-class exhibit at tho Columbian Ex
position. I r must not only be first class
as to qualitjf, but also in the amplitude
of tho exhibit.
The Cultivator believes that the right
course has been taken to secure this ex
hibit. As advanced by it last year, the
beat and safest way to get the exhibit, is
to organize a stock company with a capi
tal stock of (100,000, divided into shares
of one dollar each. This will enable ‘.lie
humblest citizen to share in the duty of
making an oxhibit, as well as the million
aire, according to bis means.
The meeting of the memben of the
Georgia Press to inaugurate this meas
ure was eminently wise, and ensures the
success of the movement. There is no
body of men on tbe globo that can equal,
much lese surpass, the members of tho
Georgia Press, in unswerving public
spirit, unswerving devotion to material
and moral advancement, and unselfish
love of the grand old commonwealth.
Impelled by the sense of duty they will
not allow tho word “fail” to be written
of this effort. The Cultivator bids them
God-speed in the high and h ily work
they have so nobly undertaken. I,ot tlie
movement bu pushed with vigor, and
press ouwaid, with this motto at the
mast-head:
“All for Georgia and for all Georgia!'

COM) >KI. MADDOX ON CROAKERS.
Colonel 1!. F. Maddox, of the blinking. ^ fa T T T M I I •
house of Maddox A Co., Atlanta, thinks! gA ■ W I \ <|> ly/j II
croakers are having a very depressing! ^ J I ] |l I ] I I I PI ^
effect jusi now, and should be muzzled
or suppressed. He says:
“There is a good deal of unnecessary
depression in the country, owing almost
entirely to the low price of cotton. Want
of conlidence is largely the cause of this
state of things. The low price of cotton
and a big crop seem to depress the coun
try more than a small crop with a high
pricer yet a large crop with lpw prices is
far better for tbe country, as a low price
for cotton will make a correspondingly
low price for many of the necessaries of
life. If tlie merchants would stop croak
ing and give attention to tbe collection
of their debts, the farmers would soon
commence to look to the preparation of
another crop That is what wo need,
and what will largely relieve the de
pressed condition of things. J think
this will come soon after Christmas.
These croakers alarm the country
There is money enough Id the land—just
as much as there lias been for several
years. The country Is w ell supplied with
it The bulk of one of the largest crops
of cotton ever trade has been sold, and
while the price Is low, money enough
lias gore to the country to largely
lieve thu debts But there is still con
siderable cotton being held in the o
try, and when it is all marketed, even at
tile low- price, there will be much less
depression -
“The fanners made a line crop of
corn, and of everything else they
planted—enough to supply them. The
last crop was ma.lo with less borrowed
money by far than any crop since the
war, and if they will stop complaining
go to work and talk less about hard
times, we will Imvo better times. After
Cluistinas, people will cotnratnce
preparing for au'Olicr year and shaping
up matters. The hauks will furnish
money to those who are entitled to it.
Of course, at such times as these, it will
take a b itter class of paper to get money
tliun when limes are tiush. Taking the
situation all together, confidence is what
is wanted, and less croaking, and for the
farmers to go to work with renewed en
ergy.
“There is a growing evil In the land
The Southern people are dealing in cot
ton futures, and that alone has no little
to do with tile depression of the present
time. The .South is universally bullish,
and the downward course of the market
lias caused heavy losses to our people,
In both future and spots
“Tho South lias had uninterrupted
prosperity for several years, and we
might reasonab'y expect some reverse,
but they will he only temporary, as the
South is hound to move forward."

hi-1 ml’, g In
It in nul Kui)irl«log that the .Southern
cotton planters are alarmed ou account
of tho cotton proapect,. Tho crop of
tlie ataple this year nan boen greater
tbau tbe demand for it; the price it ha*
fallen and the planters llnd it difficult
to sell at a paying rate tlie supply they
have on hand. They are thinking what
they can do next yoar if the production
again exceeds the demand of tbe world's
market*, and the question Is truly an
important one. After all, it is probable
that this year’s crip will bo profltably
disposed of by Its holdors; hut if the
acreage devoted to cotton must bo re
duced, wbat other crop can bo advan
tageously raised bythe landholders, who
are aware that the country Is already
abundantly supplied with corn and nil
kinds of grain? The agricultural com
mlssioner of tlie cotton States are to
take account of the situation et a con
vention to be held a fortnight hence in
Memphis, and with all tbe facta before
them they wilt surely be able to agree
upon some measures for tho guidance of
cotton raisers In the coming year.
FORCE THEM OUT.
