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,.

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.

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, to the growers. sweet potatoes.
