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. States, ;i say that more ta and Den 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.

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.

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.
