The tax returns of our state, lor the

The farmers were picking cotton when
Mr. Cleveland was here, consequently
the gate receipts were nearly one-hail
less than in 1SS7 —-Constitution.
Right you are this time.
11.11. Holmes, tlie Chicago mur¬
derer, is now oh trial iti that city.
A sensational feature of the ease is the
■withdrawal of his counsel in the ease,
ami Holmes is now conducting his own
case.

The Georgia Reform Press Associa¬
tion met in Atlanta on Tuesday of last
week, and perfected an organization
with a number of papers represented.
The organization of an Association will
do much good for the reform papers in
this Slate. The next meeting will
vene in Atlanta on Dec. lbth.
Some of the papers are puzzled to
know why so few farmers were present
iu Atlanta on Cleveland's day. The
fact of tho business is, the farmers
have got enough of C'levehuidism from
Washington, much less of going to SCO
him at ihe Exposition. Cleveland as a
drawing card is a back number with
the masses.
Augusta experienced a $200,000 lire
on last Thursday, iu which the large
lumber plant of Messrs. Jesse Thomp¬
son A Co was entirely destroyed. The
loss to Messrs. Thompson A Co , will
amount to $50,000, which is about half
covered by insurance. Forty tenant
houses belonging to different parties
jverc also destroyed.

Mr. Hector 1>. Lane, president of the
Southeru Cotton Growers,
after having taken a look over the cot
ton situation, to ascertain whether
there was any reason for the recent fall
in prices, lie says he. believes the de
pression in the price is only temporary,
and that January cotton will go to 10
cents, lie says lie estimates the total
crop now to be 0,500,000 bales, lie
does not believe more than 800,000
bales of it will cotne from Texas.
The colored people of South Caro
lina are very much exercised over the
new constitutional convention in re
gard to the suffrage matter—where n
person in older to vote has to represent
iu property, or have sufficient
education to read and understand the
constitution of that State. It is claim¬
ed that this provision of the constitu
fiou will disfranchise a majority of the
Colored voters of that State, and a
vigorous protest is now being made
:kraiust it, and il i.- the opinion of some
fliat this part of the constitution wil
be nullified.
The Executive Committee of tli
People’s l*artv of t his- District, deem it
advisable that Mr. Watson contest tin
election recently Id Id in this District.
Mr. Watson has employed able council.
and the contest uo doubt will be one ot
niueh interest. It will require a eon
sidetable amount of money to defrs*
the expeases of the contest, and Mr.
Watson has already deposited iu tin
bank at Thomson $1,00(1 as his part it
the.contest, and now it is the plain
duty of every People's Party man to
contribute to the coutest fund. Iam
each man do his full duty by contribut¬
ing as much as he can possibly spare
In this matter.
QUESTIONS ANSWERED.
Question- 5 —Is sorghum a pool food
for hogs, or will it make tliem sick?
Answer 5.— A little care should he
used at first in feeding sorghum to
hogs, as iu all cases whore thtj food is
changed; but with this precaution thero
is no finer food for hogs and cattle, and
horses as well, This crop has hereto
fore been mostly raised or syrnp, bat
it can be made much more remunera¬
tive if only a moderate quantity is
made un into syrup and the rest used
for feeding purposes. It is so «o»y of
cultivation and grows so rapidly, giv
iug several cutt.ugs during a season,
that it will in time, doubtless, become
o*o of our mam and iikmB valuable
feeding crops.
Question 6 —What is the area of the
present year’s com crop, and what is
its probubio value?
Answer 6 —The number of acres
covered by this year’s corn crop has
been estimated at 8*1.000,000 acres. As
average yield anil price, it is worth
nomewhoro in the neighborhood of one
biliiou dollars.
Question 7 — I have a valutblo horse
which lias s'uclt a nail in Ills foot; and
thougn them h' ems no present danger,
1 am afrit' i or lockjaw. Wuat shad i
lio lor him ?
Axsw ru 7.—If tho puncture is in the
iiott part o’ too foot, cut away the sur¬
rounding hard parts nail form an open¬
ing to the wound that thr matter may
escap v Syringe out the wound with
warm water to remove all dirt or hard
piirticlcw. 1 I non H;1 tho omnina with
cotton which has btvn saturated . with .
.
arnica, turpentine or carbolic acid, the
latter mixed with water, one oart car¬
bolic acid to four parts water. Keep
the wound open by bathing with those
applications and do not allow any dirt
to got into it. After ail soreness is re
lievod, fill tho opening with cotton
dipped in tor, cover with leather and
put on a shoo, but watch the loot care¬
fully and if tho coreness returns ve
movo tho shoe.
Question 8 —A correspondent lias
rent us tho following notice with cut,
describing a very handsome cherry and
asking information about it. As we
were not familiar with tho cherry, wo
sent the inquiry to Mr. Berokmans.
president of the Georgia Horticultural
moiety. His reply is also apnended.
Hero in tho description of tho cherry:
A FRUIT BORDOX.
A very luscious cherry has boon
creating qutto a sensation ou tha
fruit stands this season. This in so
firm, large and plump that it 1ms often
been mistaken for a plum. It has been
^oU named the bonbon cherry,
a popular grower recently said of It:
“Undoubtedly this is the most valuable
cherry iu cultivation, owing toltsenor*
mous size, rtoh, dark red color, luscious*
quality and freedom from the cherry
worm It is a sure oroppor every year,
and is always of extraordinary flavor.”
It* cooking qualities do not seem to
have boon thoroughly tested, us the va¬
riety is somewhat now us yet to tho av¬
erage housewife. It does not seem to
be largely grown here, as it is not found
in quantities in the market this year,
but usually as u special dainty on the
fruit stands demanding a rather high
price. It will probably be more plenti¬
ful in a few years in our eastern mar¬
kets, for it is becoming more generally
known that tho trees will thrive and
bear abundantly in this part of the
country; and many interested grower*
have planted the trees lor experiment
I this year,
And hero is Mr. Berekmans’ reply.
Hon. II T. Neslitt, Atlanta, Oa.:
JIv Dear Sir—D uring the session of
; the Georgia State Horticultural society
at Cuthbert, I stared thnt the iudis
criminate publication by the average
1 newspaper man of catchy horticultural
article* was frequently detrimental to
horticultural progress. The clipping
* hioh * oa enc,oso is onI - v nll0ther ovl ‘
t donee of what I stated, which was in
substance that the public would be bet
tor served if that class of article*, of
which the enclosed is a sample, were
left alone.
Expert pomologists will endorse my
positiou, because a description of such
a wonderful cherry has a tendency to
add to the confusion of existing fruit
nomenclature The name “Bonbou”
is no doubt a new local fad for a well
known vanity, Some smart tree ped¬
dler will take advantage of tki* and
.
palm off large quantities of trees (of
any variety he can purchase) under
this new name, at a stiff price audmis
lead and disappoint purchasers.
If the correct name of this cherry
given we would b. able to know
what iu value is; but all posted fruit
growers will let the “Bonbon" alone.
Horticultural subjects should be han¬
dled by competent authorities, of which
the horticultural press is the proper
representative, but which are usually
changed, by the average penny-a-liner,
so to make it interesting reading for
the public.
Thfl cn| of the cherrT ghows
long thp Dnke or More i lo tTpe . It
may be the “May Duke.” which is a
popular, early sort, cultivated quite
successfully in the eastern and western
states and in the upper sections of
Georgia. South Carolina and Alabama,
I have seen good crops of this variety
in Atlanta, and grown there by the
late Richard Peters,
Yoars, very truly.
