GEORGIA’S FARM LANDS-
pro. i
p nr ,i, lauils in the Northwest are val-
.,1 .fording to the yield of wheat per
ri . ].' 0 r instance, an acre that will
■e iifteen bushels of wheat is
. irt l, uudnuacrethat will produce
. rtv bushels is worth $40, and so on.
It is worth a dollar for every bushel
jt uii! produce.
Why is it that this same good rule
Joes not prevail in Georgia?
There are thousands upon thousands
of acres of land in this state that can
bought at from two to five dollars an
,ere which will produce from IS to 80
bushels of wheat per acre. We fear
that. hi r own people are much to blame
for this condition. The all-cotton sys
tem has impoverished laud and man,
and man is laud poor. Wedo not appre
ciate the real value of our lands because
have not handled them properly,
perhaps.
Iho revival of the interest in grain
growing and consequent stock raising,
has done more than all other agencies
combined to bring us back to a realiza
tion oi the truo value of onr hillsides
md valleys. Wo may exhaust our tim
ber. overdo our trade, languish in our
nrhan industries, but the soil and the
reasons, the sunshine and the showers
,re perpetually ours.
Georgia farm lands are worth more
today than they were yesterday. They
vill be worth more tomorrow than they
are today. Thoy are a heritage to onr
people v. Licit should not be surrender
ed, at least without a struggle. Where
there are mortgages make hay while
tbesun shines and cancel them. Where
Here are no mortgages make none.
The course of enterprisfe is Southward.
Lite a giant roused from a dazed
dumber tho agricultural Honth is
bounding forward to retrieve fortunes
lost in a revolution, and fortunes miss
ed during a generation of slow conval
escence from the deadening blow.
Let Georgians hold on to their farm
Unds. Treasures lay hidden on' their
hillsides, and wealth in their bottom
lands. Xor does it reqnire costly
plants ami stamp mills to turn it into
sash in their pockets. Tho dews of
heaven, the sunshine, the plow and
sickle are theirs, almost without money
ltd without price, But scratch the
earth and nature is their powerful
helper without so much as exacting a
hrthing'a interest in the profits —Ma

The most permanent asset iu all the
world is land; not city Iots-they are
not land, but merely foundations for
buildings; but farm land, the source
nearly all wealth aud the absolutely
indispensable factor in bumau exist
ence. Land is also and for the same
rcasoD, the most stable in value of all
property. The history of every flnan
cial panic shows that wbou pro
perty of every kind comes tumb
ling down in value and only money
bolds its own, farm land comes more
nearly maintaining its value than
any other species of property. Why
is this? Because the products
the soil are necessary to life and
must be had at every cost; aud be
cause, no matter wbnt occurs iu the
financial world, the farmer who owns
his home has an assurance of at least
a living, and that he cannot bo turned
out of doors on account of inability to
pay rent, and being in the country, he
is exempt from the burden of municipal
taxes, which weigh so heavily on the
city property owner. Tho city land
lord, unable to rent his property, must
sacrifice tt or be'badly hurt by the in
evitable tax gatherer; hence city prop
erty decreases iu valno with every in
dication of financial uneasiness. We
would not, in consequence of these
facts, advise town people to rush out
into the country and buy farms, for
most of them would ho as much oat of
place there a9 a “whited sepulcher” in
Paradise. Under present conditions we
mujt have towns and towns must have
people, and these people must make
some money to buy indispensable farm
products with, and then the farmer
must turn the money back to tho town
people in exchange for things that do
not grow on farms; and thus tho cur
rent of commerce is kept flowing, car
rying contentment to people in both
town nnd country. But if one wants
to farm, wants to lead a iifo of iude
pcudcnce, with a full assurance that ho
will not become a pauper, no matter
what may happen in the stock market,
there is but one recourse, and that is
to buy a farm, or buy land and make a
farm; go to work aud, come wbat may,
after a while ho can sit under his own
grape vine and fruit tree, and nobody
may make him afraid. The timo will
eome-is coming—when even this
refuge will be bard to reach, for farm
land will continue to increaso in value,
on account of its importance in the
economy of human life.

Th.y passed and gave no slrn—

The failure., ball divine.
Grant once said that the Democrats
could always be depended on to make
fools of themselves at the proper
time, or at the time most suitable
to the Republicans. There are
men high in the party councils to-day
who are panting for an opportunity to
commit the party to vindication 'of
Grant’s observation, bat it is not be
lieved that these will he permitted to
rule. If they are, Bryan is as good
as defeated. If a wise and conservative
course is pursued in the construction
of a platform, Bryan is as good as elec
ted. If the ultra-ltsdical element is
permitted to write the platform snch
hair-brained egotists as Willis Abbot,
who is at present acting as editor-in-
chief of the Democratic party, will
savagely assail the Supreme Court and
the constituted authorities in the plat
form and we will have demands for
government ownership of railroads,
telegraph, trans|iortation companies,
mines and ail manner of enterprises.
We will havo something foolish abont
banks and legitimately aggregated
capital. We may look for a plank de
manding the initiative and referendum
—a senseless aud cumbersome proceed
ing of which little Switzerland, in her
mountain eyrie, is becoming heartily
tired. But should wiser counsols pre-
ail, as wo have reason to hope they
will, and should a conservntivo nnd
rational conrso bo pursued, there is
every reason to believe that Bryan will
be sent into the White Mouse by a
landside such as has seldom beeu soon
in this country. In fine, if the plat
form adopted in Kansas City is a Dem
ocratic platfrom and not a Populistic
platform or a Socialistic platform,
success is almost certain.
There will bo many wise beads in
Kansas City when the convention
meets, and an effort will be made to
guide ihe party safoly over tho Bhoals
and thronght tho rapids, but wise
heads are pow crleis when assailed by

Daughters of Confederacy Determined
to Kreet Monument.
Richmond, Juno 2.—The Daughters of
the Confederacy here are very much
wrought if) over the action of General
Wagner and other Grand Array of the
Republic men of Pennsylvania in oppos
ing the erection of a monument to the
200 or more confederates buried in Ger
mantown cemetery, near Philadelphia.
They will appeal to the secretary of
wnr. A leading member of tho Rich
mond chapter says:
“We are determined to build tho
monument. We have for several years
been trying to erect monuments to the
confederate (lead in the north nnd west.
All of onr time ami attention is now di
rected to the work of raising tho money
for the erection of a monument to Presi
dent Jefferson Davis, and because of this
fact no other work will be undertaken
until tho fund for that monument is
raised. We will then ngain push for*
ward onr work of erecting monuments
to the confederate dead buried elsewhere.
The objection of Geueral Wagner and
others will not in the least interfere
with onr erecting a monument in Ger
mantown cemetery. We willi bnild it
regardless of what the Oraud Army of
the Republic people say.”
Negroes Charged with Murder.
Nashville, Jane 2.—Eight uegroes

Buooks Station, Gn., June 3.— Moses
Holmes, a negro farm band employed
by A. L. Neely, who lives near bore,
was ; hot and instantly killed by Elwell
Neely, the 18-year-old son of the farmer,
for a brutal attack upon bis sister. The
trouble grew out of an attack made by
Holmes’ daughter on the young children
of Neely, one of thorn being knocked
down and severely bnused. When
Neely learned of this he repaired to
Holmes’ bouse aud gave tho girl a whip-
ping.
Returning homo, ho told Holmes whal

vaiieing on Carlos when Elwell seized
