New papers are springing up all over
the .State.
Warren county is to have two hang¬
ings in November. Both negroes, one
of them a negro woman.
Get ready for the political frav of
],SW). It Will be H light of the classes
against the masse*.
Mr. Watson ain't ready for Guberna¬
torial honor* yet,—he’* going to Con¬
gress.
No duubt the present legislature
will have a good many vexed questions
to settle in their next session.
There is no wiping out the fact that
the 10th District i* thoroughly Popu¬
list and «ill eventually be represented
by a 1‘upulist.
Milledgeville ha* a new paper called
the Times with Prof. W. E. Reynolds,
m* Editor. It is our pleasure to know
prof, lb ynolds; he i* one of the most
polished writers in the State.
The free silver fight is just uow
assuming shape,—but bear tu mind
thut tho*e Democratic papers that
have been sucb rabid cbttmpions of the
lice coinage of silver, are getting
ready to accept anything that tire
Democratic Convention endorses, and
it is sate to predict thut the gold bugs
will control the Democratic Conven¬
tion*.
The Georgia Legislature will convene
ou the '23d nisi., and one question that
will come Indore the Assembly is a dis
i Kiiiliou of the Northeast railroad from
Athens to Lula. Ga. This road is uow
owned by the Stale and lias been run
very successfully stttcc the State took
hold of it, but it is thought advisable
that the Suite sell it, by some, while
•other* contend that it would he best for
the State uoi to sell and still operate it
as uow.
A gold standard man said to a Meri¬
wether farmer last week: “I see you
arc gott in" 8 cents for your cotton; I
hope you arc willing to admit thut Mr.
Cleveland was right in his financial
policy.” The old farmer cut his eye at
nbc gold staudard man aud replied: “If
mere talk of free silver has ruu cotton
to h ceuls, don’t you see that with free
coinage itself cotton would be selliug
ov( double it* present price?”
Ifow any fainter can conscientiously
vote for any political party, whose
whole tendency of legislation is to re¬
duce prices of all product* of the farm'
in iking gold sole master of the situa
tion, how any farmet, we say, who has
watched the trend of the markets for
the last three years, can continue to
vote to enrich the already rich, and
lurlhci reduce the price of the pro¬
ducts of labor, i» one of those tliiiigs
that border* close on the marvelous.—
Journal, Lebanon, Knits.
Something quite remarkable came
into the redemption division of the
treasury at Washington n short time
ago. It was a tlnu plate of silver about
two feet long, into the surface of which
a $10 silver certificate had been pressed
in such a manner as to incorporate it*
substance actually with that* of the
metal. It was a brand new bill, and in
the process had bceu squeezed out to
about twice its otiginal size. Never¬
theless it was perfectly recognizable. A
statement accompanied it to the effect
that a workman in a silverware factory
hail dropped the bill accidentally upon
the plate of silver ns the later was pass¬
ing through a rolling machine. This
explantatiou being satisfactory a fresh
$10 certificate was returned to the
loser.
The gang in the 10th Georgia dis¬
trict claims to have defeated Tom
Watson, at the special election last
week, by 4.600 majoiiiy. We have no
particulars except a brief associated
press dispatch which was not sent out
until two days after the election. How
uiucb there is in it we don't know.
But the claim is a great cotne-dcwn,
to say the least, from the figures by
which they counted out Mr. Watson
last fall, which were then placed al
over 8,000 for Tllack. Frou>-.tk» '-it
w ould seem that ihe-|*opuh5ts
greaUy reduced the cheating and
counting machines, if they have done
no more. Clearly the 10th Georgta is
a Populist district hpt in the_
is not simply necessary to have a
jority of the voters. To win yon must
also have the counting machinery,
Tins can’t last always.—Nonconfwrvniet.
THE CHEAP FOOD POLICY.
Occasionally wa see in wine of the
southern newspaper! (felflahstioos to
the effect that ‘‘dheap food is an ele¬
ment of prosperity.” I he
ts a piece of shallow impertlDeOec.
Who is beucfittfcd by cheap food ?
Nobody but the manufacturers and
other employers of labor, wbd are
thereby enabled to pay lower wirtea.
lint who produces the food and -<vho
are the looser* b> reason of this (heap
uess. w hich is said to be “au elenoeut
of prosperity ?” Food is produced by
the farmers of the country, and the
burners coustiiute 40 per cent of the
population. Cheap food mean* an
absolute loss to this large body of
workers, and when the fanners are
losing moue> or receiving inadequate
returns for their labors the rest of the
country cauuot he prosperous.
l'ood product* weie exceedingly
cheap iu 18914 aud 1894. Wa* that
fact au element of prosperity? If so,
where wa* the prosperity ? The cheap¬
ness is at the expense of the farmers,
who constitute ucarly oile-balf of the
population. It ineaus, as The Phila¬
delphia Manufacturer aptly, says, that
nearly one half of the population are
working harder aud losing more so that
Comparatively a few people may work
uo harder and live better.
Meanwhile the farmers have to pay
the saute interest they u»ed to pay;
their taxes are a* high or higher, and
the price of neatly everything they
have to buy ha* gouc up. it is of vital
importance to the whole country that
the farmer should have just compen¬
sation for his labor. Otherwise the
whole industrial fabric wilt be thrown
out of gear.
There is but one tentedy for this
dislocation of prices and values aud
that is to go back to the bimetallic sys¬
tem which wa* lu force prior to 1873.
—Atlanta Constitution.
The above expression from the
Constitution exactly coincides with our
views, but we do not believe that the
party that the Constitution belongs to,
will ever remedy the “dislocation of
prices and Values” and go back to
bimetallic system whtch was in force
prior to 1873.
The democrats, having abandoned
every other principle and substituted
Hamilton and Shermnu for Jefferson
and Jackson, have even gone back ou
the rooster. The New York democra¬
cy, at its tecent state convention, de¬
cided that instead of. the “proud bird
of the barnyard” a star should be
placed at the bead of-their ballots as
the party emblem- This is too, too
much. 'If there is any thing |in the
world we thought the party would
stick to to the death it was its rooster
aud it* whitkey. Josh Billings ob¬
served that when ;» man started down
hill everything seemed to be greased
for the occasion. Thus from roosting
high, as iu ’92, to roosting low. as in
’95, the old party has ijo rooster at all.
We suppose they will even tutu eanui
buls and devour their own offspring,
by boiling poor old chunticlear in a
pot and euiiug him. Nor would this
be a difficult task. Having swallowed
all their other principles, they can
take down old birdy, tough rs he is,
without making a wry face.—Noncon¬
formist.
We would have a much better coun¬
try if we would strive as hard to re¬
cover our stolen liberties as we do to
regain ourse that is - stolen.—News,
Tyler, Tex.
The Populist party is getting in fine
shape for the great cooflict in 1806.

SORGIIUM AND SUGAR CAN&
The grinding of sorghum has been in
full blast for two weeks past In Middle
and upper Georgia, and a larger quan¬
tity ual of sjrrnp will be made than is us¬
A good manr are not getting the
▼ield they expeoted, but the acreage is
larger aud in the aggregate the yield
Will be large. Sngar oune grinding
has not yet oommenced, bnt the croD is
good and there will be plenty of syrup
and sugar from that souroe iu the lower
half of the state.
POTATOES.
This orop Is good all over the state,
and If only pat ap with proper care, is
vsry easily kept. 1 don’t think we
fully appreciate this valuable food crop,
which can be raised so easilx, and ip
suoh quantities Many farmers sull
plsnt the poorer varieties, very defi¬
cient in saooharlne matter, and there¬
fore neither to palatable nor so fatten'
ing as the better varieties.
Let ns strive to have the best in
everything, not in potatoes ouly.
I admit it is easier to raise a
Cuba, Hayti or St, Domingo than
a Georgia yam. bat after raising
the Cnba yam. yon have a potato that, the!
when 1 lived in southwest Georgia, a|
bogs wouldn't eat, while If you raise
Georgia yam, you have a potato fit for
a king's table. Potatoes are good food
for all kind* of stook, 3 bushels beiug
equal to 1 of corn In feeding value.
FIELD TEAS.
There hat been a larger area than
ntnal planted throughout the state, and
the orop of peas Jt a large one. There
Is complaint from some sections thnt
the vines have not borne well, but, as
a rule, the orop is a good one.
GROUND PEAS
are reported good, and in lower Geor¬
gia the fattening hogs are iu mauy
oases already turned on them. This
crop Is planted in this state chiefly to
fatten hogs, for which it is admirably
adapted. Not many are planted fop of
market, though in our sister states
Tennessee And North Carolina they aro
largely cultivated for that purpose. In
thit era of diversified fanning, some of
our farmers might find thit a profitable
orop.
RICK.
The crop is generally good all over
the state, with more planted than usual,
1 hope next year to see this valuable
grain more generally planted than yield* ever
before. It it not bard to raise,
fairly well, and is healthy and nutri¬
tious for man and beast. The chief
trouble is to dtan the hull from the
