The Crawfordville Advocate PC BUSHED BY ATKINSON & FLURY. Entered at the post Office at Crswfofd* vi lie, Oa , as Second Class Matter. r„ E. ATKINSON, » f Editors. .7. A. FLUKY. CrawfoBPvillk, Ga., OCT., 18, 1B96 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. Mr. J. McMichacl, Proprietor of the Christian Index died in Atlanta Tuesday.

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.
