POLITICAL AtfD OTHERWISE.
i\Y JACK SPKAT*
Picking coltoti is tlie order of the
day.
Sorghum ay tup is abundant.
if yolt have not registered, yottr
chance to do so is gone, and you have
lost your right to Vote.
We are often reminded of that old
aphorism, viz: “All the the World is
a barber shop, and every body's a
shaver.”
Corrupt politics menus corrupt; gov¬
ernment. If a man obtains an office
by unfair m th<>ds, either directly or
indirectly, his record in the discharge
of public duties, if closely scrutinized,
will reveal the cloven foot of corrup¬
tion. .
We have been informed that Mr.
Ilowell Cosby, of Raytown, has pur¬
chased tlie old Campbell place, near
Barnett, and will move there another
year.
The lines of political warfare for ’’.Ml
are gradually forming, and before
another twelve months roils around (he
coutest will be iu full blast,. We do
not believe that the patriotism of
America has yet been totally obliter¬
ated, nor that the patriots will p-rmit
America to be Europeanized.
Married.—On the evening of the Oth
inst.,in Warreu county, near Mayfield,
Ga., Miss Maggie Rocker !o Mr, Willie
Gunn. ■ The bride was unJl recently
a resident of Taliaferro county, and
is the daughter of Jacob Roc/" '- '’'In
groom was of YVarren eounty. To the
happy couple we extend our congraiu
latious, hoping that their darkest hours
in life may he as the fleeting clouds
before the glittering sun.
To the casual observer it is no
whimsical notion that modern Demo
cracy ere long will be buried beneath
the wave of publ’c sentiment. No
political party representing and prac¬
ticing such anti-American ideas of
government can hold the reins of gov¬
ern incut for auy great length of time
in true America. There is not room
in America fora self constituted Dicta¬
tor, such i s now disgiaeis the Presi¬
dential chair; nor a baud of anarchists
such as are now willfully bringing the
American Congress into contempt and
disiepute. We long to see the pride
and patriotism that once moved Amer¬
icans to throw off the yoke of despot¬
ism and spurred her patriotic sons to
great and noble deeds, once more exert
itself.
Your “scribe and his tribe” attend¬
ed the closing exercises of Mrs.
May will Johnson’s School at Prospect,
iu Warren county, on the night ol the
4th inst. It was a very interesting oc¬
casion and reflected much credit upon
the principal.
Give to the producer fair prices for
his products; to the day laborer reason¬
able compensation for his services, and
it means debts honestly paid, mort¬
gages cancelled, hopes realized, wife
cheerful, chidren gay, hearthstone
loves brightened, family educated,
society built up—a better citizen—a
man.
Jonesboro and Sharon base hall clubs
crossed bats last Saturday. The scoie

COTTOX.
During the past month tho conditions
have not been favorable for cotton
There lias been an excess of rain in
nearly every portion ol Hie state, onus
in 8» K ock1 ,k>al of 011 11,0 ffra3r
innds and on the red lands, inducing an
excessive growth of wood, without a
corresponding increase of bolls. Pick¬
ing lias commenced in lower and Mid
die Georgia, and will soon lie general
all over the state. There is some little
complaint of boll worms and cater¬
pillars, but nothing serious on that line
us yet.
Bearing in mind that the crop is at
least two weeks later than an average;
that there is a decrease of #0 per contiu
the use of fertilizers, and of Id to DO
per cent in acreage; that in some coun¬
ties a considerable acrengo has been
ftbandouod on account of grass; in view
of all those conditions, the prospeoc for
tho cotton crop is the poorest we have
hud tor years. The conditions from
tins on inust,bo unusually favorable, for
tlie crop of this state to reach three
fourths of last year's production.
CORN.
The farmers of Georgia have good
reason to be thankful for the abundant
corn crop with winch they have been
blessed this year. Never iu tho history
of tho state has such u corn crop been
made. Thousands of farmers will make
sufficient to last them for two years,
an( i ju S t,horo lies our danger; Any corn
offered for sain must bring a low price,
tor tho cr0 P binding *■. eno little ,™? us sale ? u , for ovor * ha
country, corn,
many farmers may bo induced to plant
loss next year, and largely increase
their cotton crops, thus bringing on the
condition of things from which we
have just emerged, viz.-, low priced cot¬
ton and scarce and doar corn. Allow me
to raise a, warning voice galr.oJ against this
temptation. We Lave or.r mm.n
cipatton from the western corn fields and
Smokehouses; now lot us maintain that
independence by redoubling our exer¬
tions to make our farms self-sustaining.
Feed tiie corn to hogs and cattle and
poultry: feed more to your horses and
mules, keeping them in such good con¬
dition that they will forgot they were
evor half starved on western corn. Wo
can thus find use for all our corn at
homo, and improve and greatly increase
our stock of all kinds.
Fodder pulling is over in the lower
half of the state, and well underway
in North Georgia. While much fodder
was injureu and some ruined by the
August, rains, a good deal lias been
saved in exeellont condition, thus In
suriug plenty of long forage for our
needs.
FRUIT.
The fruit crop of tho Btato, except ap¬
ples and late peaches, has boon gather¬
um! disposed of anil tho pantries and
storerooms of our wives bear witness
to tho abundance and variety of tho
crop. This has been a phenomenal
year for all kinds of fruit. Or.r
poaohos stand at tho head in all
the northern markets and have
made a reputation in so many cities
tills year that this should lnsuro for
them a ready sale at better prices in the
future. In peaches, atleast.C'aHfor
ilia has almost ceased to be a competl
tor against us, lor though her peaches
are as a rule larger and more showy.
they cannot compare in flavor, rb .ness
and juiciness with those wo send to
lnarketj anf , consumers are fast finding
this out. With lower rates of freight,
which I believe wo will hate another
year, the fruitgrower has every cause
to bo hopeful of future success.
riKLI) f-K am*
Farmers have planted more pea* than
n*ual in all parts of the state, showing
that they are learning the valuo of tha
pea as a renovator of the soil. There
will be a large crop gathered and on
many fields bogs and other stock will
lie turned to fatten.
GROUND J'KAS, SUGAR CANE, BORO HUM.
A* a rule, these minor, though very
important crops, are excellent through
out the state. Here and there are
small dry spots, but on the whole these
cropn promine well for a bountiful yield,
thus insuring an abundance of fine
syrup, and in very many costs, sugar,
