A nothmt cotton factory will be built
at Athens, Ga, Messrs. Erwin & Cobb
propose erecting it, and have applied for
charter for the Alpha Cotton Factory
Co . with a capital stock of $:’.5,(>00, in
shares of flOO each.
What Republicans tried to do once
they will try to do again. Think of
this, Demooiats. We all know they
tried to put black heals upon white
necks by the passago of a force bill.
We also know they will try to do this
again. (Jot to work, Democrats, and
overthrow this party, the enemies of
civil liberty, and its allies.
Onk of the largest individual canning
establishments in the world is that of
Louis McMnnay, in Frederick, Md.
During the past season the product of
*1,000 acres was used, amounting to
about -1,000,000 cans. In a gooa season
the establishment will turn out nearly
0,000,000 cans. This factory occupies
some six acres and employs about 1,000
hands.
Tin: great statistician of Havre, II.
Pasch, has issued a circular giving his
opinion on the cotton situation. He
says the world will probably want
8,200,000 bales of this crop, which will
hardly exceed 7,J00,000 bales. Hence
the demand would have to fall back on
tliQ stocks, which would bo reduced
nearly 1,000,000 bales. Under these
conditions prices should go up if the
gamblers in .the people’s products will
graciously permit them to do so.
There wero only sixty-two white men
who voted in the Third party convention
for county officers. If these sixty-two
white men think by combining with the
most ignorant and vicious of the colored
race they can control a proud and intol-
ligent county like Macon, they will iind
themselves as badly mistaken as Weaver
was when he came to Georgia. The
Almighty never intended that ignorance,
superstition and fanaticism should rule
this land ami it never will.—Macon
County Citizen.
THE COMING COTTON CHOP.
With the opening of the new cotton
year come the usual estimates of acreage
aud yield, many of which are chietly
guess work. Estimates from some quar-
ters, however, are worth attention, par
ticuiarly that of Mr. Alfred II. Shopper-
son, of New York, who usually comes
pretty near the mark. Mr. Shepperson
places the now crop at (>,.‘500,000 bales.
During planting season it was shown
that the acreage was considerably re
duced. Planters in the Mississipi valley
A’ere delayed by high water, and througl
out the region great damage has been
done by prolonged rainy spells and
drouth, and in some sections more par
ticuiarly by rust and worms. All reports
of the crops show it to be from 20 t
per cent less than normal for the acre
age, and should there be an early fall
with killing frosts the yield will ho still
further reduced. Good and bright pick
ing weather is now absolutely essential
for even a fair crop, and anything else
will do great injury. It is true that this
crop has been grown with less outlay of
money than ever before, hut it is also
true that last year’s low prices put many
of the planters in debt, and the reason
so little was spent on this crop is largely
because their creditors hope for price*
which will straighten up all accounts.
Since it costs thy same to cultivate three
acres and get one bale of cotton as it
does to cultivate the same amount and
get three bales, it is apparent that a very
hurt crop will help out only those who
get a fair growth from their land and do
little good for others.
s$Thc general tone of the cotton market
is somewhat unusual for this season.
Pi ices have advanced some, and there
is a noticeable dimness on the part of
the sellers and some anxiety on that of
buyers as to the possible size and grade
of the crop. Knowing that the low
prices for last season’s cotton compelled
planters to bring in nearly all they had
there is little chance of much old cotton
coming in with this year’s crop, and
while the total visible stock is unusually
large, the total estimated crop is small,
and if the total consumption is great as
last year there will be a very short
stock at the beginning of next season.
Thus far the receipts at New Orleans
have been much less than for the cor
responding period last year, and brokers
are anxious to kuowu whether it i
cause of a short crop, or that the luck
ing season has not yet taken a good
start. From now to Christmas planters
will push in all the cotton they can, and
this will be likely to deceive many as to
the size of the crop. There is little
doubt that at the end of the season it
will be found that the total crop grown
has not greatly exceeded the ligtires
given by Mr. Shepperson, and it is likely
also that prices will materially advance.
—Manufacturers’ Record.
The cpst of constructing county roads
by convict labor has been shown by the
county commissioners of Floyd county,
Ga. Ten years ago these gentlemen
decided that it was expedient to uso
convicts in constructing and maintain
ing their roads, ami since that time over
fifty miles of good macadam road have
beeu constructed at an average expense
of £1,000 per mile. The roads are
twenty-four feet wide, with sixteen feet
of macadam in the middle. They are all
well graded, drained and substantially
made.
The stockholders of the f rown Cot
ton Mills, of Dalton, Ga., held their
annual meeting on the 14th inst., and as
the result of the year’s work a cash divi
dend of 13 per cent, was declared. The
stockholders also decided to put in 1,000
additional spindles, which will increase
the working capacity of the plant 20 per
cent. The old ofticers were re-elected
for the ensuing year as follows: T, R.
Jones, president; George W. Hamilton,
secretary and treasurer, and J. W.
Brown, mill superintendent. The plant’s
output is cotton duck.
The wild screed attacking Gov. Nor-
then, published by editor and People’s
party chairman M. I). Irwin, in the
latest issue of the Southern Alliance
Farmer, is an excellent indicator of the
desperate strait* the party is iu. The
managers of the machine realize that
every hope they ever had of success is
gone, consequently they have be
come reckless in their anger aud cha
grin. Irwin’s letter, instead of injuring
Gov. Northen, will do him good. Peo
ple who think—and most Georgia farm
ers are thinkers—will not indorse any
such incendiary and demagogic utter
ance.

Senator IIii.i.’h Brooklyn speech has
had a marked effect in the Western
id the reports from that section
the Democrats are working
neatly than ever for success,
ocia ic prospects are brighten
ing daiiv. During the past week re
quests have been pouring into national
he&dquarers from the West for Senator
llill to deliver speeches in Illinois, Wis
consin, Iowa and Indiana, aud it is
claimed that if he will make a tour of
the States mentioned a wave of Demo
cratic tut husiastn will follow his visit
and cany everything before it. It is
qaiie probable that Senator Hill will
yield t:; the requests and take the
stump in the West some time [about the
middle of October.
A TRUE MAN INDEED.
“I am glad,” remarked a true and
faithful Democrat of many years’ stand
ing in our hearing a few days ago, “I am
glad, since Hill mado his Brooklyn
speech, that I was a Hill man up to the
timo of Cleveland’s nomination.” lie
added: “I have become a warm Cleve
land man, and was beginning, before
Hill spoke in Brooklyn, to get out of
patience with him; but I am happy now.
1 honor both Cleveland and Hill.”
Hill’s Brooklyn speech is the best
campaign document which the people of
the Uuited States have had given them
to read or our speakers have given them
to study. And yet there is nothing ab
solutely new in it. It is the work of a
hard-working Democrat who gwvo days
and nights to its preparation. It could
not have been prepared within a week
or two after the Chicago convention ad
journed. It required time to soothe the
feelings of the Hill men and to enable
him to present iu language so forcible
aud convincing what duty requires at
the hands of the Hill supporters.
We rejoice that Mr. Hill made tho
Brooklyn speech. Wo rejoice that Mr.
Cleveland is worthy of the support- of
such men. Success must be the portion
of those two “good men aud true.”—
Richmond Dispatch.
SOUTHERN FRUIT.
No interests in the South have of late
years shown more vitality’ than that of
orcharding, unless it be the cognate
business of trucking. Iu Central, Nor
thern, and Eastern Georgia, the peach
crop has become a large item. It was
very profitable this season, and the ex
pansion of the business will be consider
able by the planting of new orchards
and the maturing of young ones that in
18H2 just began to bear. The Southern
pear crop too has shown great increase
in the last few years. Apples have not,
as a rule, done much, for the reason
that the best apple soil and climate in
the South are inaccessible. These are
found on tho mountain tops of the Cum
berland and Blue Ridge ranges. Some
of these are broad, providing abundant
acreage for the apple industry, and they
grow both the peach and pear in great
perfection. Orchards on these elevations
seldom fail to bear. The fruit, it the
right varieties are chosen, is as lino as
any we get from the North; but to make
the business profitable good roads to the
plateaus must he made. Fruit cannot
be tumbled down a rocky sceep in a farm
- gon and reach market in good condi
tion. By and by, when these elevated
lands are reached by steam and electric j
railways, the fruit trade of the South j
will take a fresh lease of life.
The Southern orchards have so far I
been practically exempt from the ene- ■
ies that attack those of the East, j
Peach trees in the South have not been
seriously injured by yellows. Some |
irieties of pears are blight proof or j
nearly so, this being especially true of!
the LeCoute.
Those interested iu Southern develop
meut cannot do the cause a more ell'ec-1
tive good turn than by taking an interest \
iu orcharding on even a small scale. ;
What is most needed in the demonstra-i
tion that our soil and climate are well
adapted to the business. That made tho
development will come naturally. The
cheapness of the lauds, the facilities for
transportation to the Northern and East
ern markets, will soon, coupled with the
proof that they can do well, make good
profits, bring hundreds of Germans,
Swiss and other immigrants into the j
section, who will make our hillsides and i
mountain plateaus famous for their
grapes, apples, peaches, pears, apricots,
cherries, plums, etc.—Tradesman.

RECOCILIATION WEAVER TALKS.
I11 July, 1885, at Marshalltown, Iowa,
after Mr. Cleveland had been inaugu
rated and Mr. Lamar and Mr. Garland
bad been appointed to his Cabinet, he
said:
The free institutions In this country are
again menaced and Hie Union soldiers of the
republic insulted by the elevation of Confed-
3 leaders to the highest places in the
land. Tin- reins of government have been
over to the rebellious South, and If this
state of things Is permitted to goon for un-
other four years you will sec the rebels, who
ought really to have been hung or shot,
drawing pensions from the government they
tried to break up and destroy.
ltk’s circular exposes the whole
scheme. It is plain now that it is not
the success of the Third party, but the
lefeat of Democracy and the triumph of
the Republican party which is sought
after. There will not be enough white
men iu G

posited Friday with the Georgia Railroad

INFORMATION* ABOUT THE SOUTH.
Capt. J. F. Merrv, assistant-general
passenger agent of the Illinois Central
railroad, has prepared for general dis
tribution an interesting pamphlet which
bears the title, “Where to Locate New
Factories.” Of com so the primary ob
ject of this pamphlet is to advertise the
territory and towns along the line of tho
Illinois Central. Tho pages of this ad
vertising pamphlet will carry into the
North, the East and the West specific
and detailed facts about a very consid
erable strip of resourceful country
stretching from Cairo to New Orleans,
ttnd including portions of Kentucky,
Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisiana.
It is definite information of this charac
ter that is desired by inquirers, and such
a compendium as Captain Merry has
prepared must prove a potent educa
tional influence in the North.
The Manufacturers’ Record says that
there is an example that many of our
other Southern railroads might follow to
their own profit. There is urgent need
for educational woik of this character—
pamphlet literature that shall set forth
in concise and careful form the resources
of territory that is opeu for develop
ment. It is information of this charac
ter that is in general demand, and a little
work of this character by tho railroads |
would not only aid enormously in build-!
g up their business, but also render
imensely valuable service to the South
1 a whole by dispelling the clouds of
isinformation and ignorant prejudice
that obscure the Eastern, Northern ;
Western views of the South.
