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!' --Southern Cultivator. 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."

TOUR ATTENTION PLEASE! 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?
