Atlanta is making an effort
to build a now union depot.

l’opulists candidate for Con¬

be a sure winner.
Bill Nyo the great humorous

The Ishmaelite remarks that
Oi<> number of people in Geor¬
gia, who are ashamed of ever
having voted for John B. <»or
don, is still on the increase.
Congressman Henry (L Tur
iter from his recent .act in Con
gross hits allied himself with the
Republican party. This is noth¬
ing strange, Henry’s been lean¬
ing that way for some time.
The Sparta Ishmaelite now
threatens to holt if the goldbug
element gets possession of the
State and National (Conventions
of the Democratic party. Lei
other Democratic papers that
favor tin' free coinage of silver
speak out like the Ishmaelite.
Fitzsimmons and Maher the

ed out in ■ .<8 than one round by
Fitzsimmons, 'I'lie tight took
place in Mexico. The purse
; ought for was $10,000.
The goldbug Democrats are
making it doperate effort to get
c >ntro! of all tho conventions
and shut out the free coinage
of silver element of their party.
The matter is now assuming
tilt interesting feature, and will
i watched with much interest.
The Farmer’s Outlook wisely
says, since Congress has over¬
whelmingly defeated the silver
V;u which recently passed the
Semite, no one need expert free
coinage until the Peoples party
gains the control of both
branches of Congress and elects
a President.
Tlte closing investigation of
the lessees in the treatment of
C( mvicts is near at band, and a
decision will soon be reached,
but it is thought that nothing
will be done with the lessees,
although damaging evidence
has l>een produced at the trial.
The investigation however may
have a tendency to put a check
on the brutal and inhuman
treatment, complained of.
Tlie Queen of England in her
recent message to Parliament
seems to have awoke to the
distressed condition of the farm
ers ot that country. She says :
“I regret to say that the con
dition of husbandry, (the farm
ers as a class,) is disastrous be
yond any recent experience,
Measures will be laid before you
with the object to mitigate the
distress of that industry."

let Justice be done.
The fallowing editorial from the
Atlanta Constitution, but voices t j ie
sentiment of every true Southerner:
The whole country will watch with
interest the progress of the trial at
\VaHerboro, 8. C., of the four respect
able and well-to-do citizens of Barn
well who arc charged with the brutal
murder of two negroes ru Colleton last
'
It w ill be recollected that the nc
grocs were suspected of stealing a Bible
from a church. There was no
against them, and several Barnwell
citizens, assisted by one or two from
Colleton, took the negroes to the
woods, stripped them and beat them
in a barbarous manner. One of the
victims, :i young woman, was able to
crawl home, where she was for days in
a critical condition. Ifer tarocompan
ions, a man aud an old wonan, both
died near the spot where they were
whipped.
We learn that it is the intention of
the solicitor to push the case vigorous
ly, au J in the event of a conviction it
is a foregone conclusion that the judge
will impose a penalty that will lit the
crime.
The good people of South Carolina
arc anxious to wipe out the lynching
evil, and mob violence will not be tol
orated any longer. The methods of
die frouticr will not do in these peace
ful days, and if there are any outlaws
among us who are unwilling to submit
to the new ordei of things they would
do well to move to some Spanish
American country, where they have
about 150 revolutions a year and the
same number of holidays. They are
not wuuted here.
UP AND AT THEM.
The Fanner's Voice of Chicago
speaks out light in the following
manner:
The people of the United States
want prosperity. They want their
factories ruuniug, they want agricul¬
ture to pay the farmer, and they want
that most of all- They arc tired of
this depressed condition; tired of liv¬
ing from hand to mouth; tired of be¬
ing fleeced by the tax collector; tired
of being swindled by trusts aud com¬
bines: tired of raising crops for the
benefit of giain buyers aud commission
housesol Chicago aud other cities;
iireil of selling live stock at the Union
Stock Yards at a loss, while the pack
ers get rich by handling this stock, and
tired of being the serfs of a moneyed
aristocracy in a land of equal rights
and privileges. The railroads, stock
yards, banks, money loaners of all
classes, millers and merchants—except
those who depend directly on the
farmers’ trade, and bid for it—are com¬
bined to rob the people. This infa¬
mous conspiracy to despoil the produc¬
ing masses can be killed only by a
combination among the people to re¬
sist the powers of government from
the hands of the dishonorable agents of
the monopolies. Next November will
bo the time to do it. If anv political
party places on its ticket a man who is
not openly friendly to the people—in
honest sympathy w ith svhat they want
and need—slaughter him at the polls.
Be men. Vote as you really think
your interests demand. Rise above
any bondage, partisan or otherwise,
that you may be under, uni! consider
first the needs and welfare of your
country, your whole country—the
country that is to be the redemption
of the human race from bondage, un¬
less the masses are to be enslaved
forever—and next your own personal
interests.
Senator Hill, one of the gobl
bugs of Wall Street, is stren
onsly opposed to an investiga¬
tion being made of the recent
bond sale. He postponed an
investigation being made by
talking the measure to the
calender, but it is thought by
some that the measure will be
called up again in the near fli¬
ture and a thorough investiga
tion made as to whether Cleve
land. Carlisle Co., have the
the right to sell bonds. Our
candid opinion is. that there
will be no investigation made,
from the fact that too many of
the present United States Sena
tore are like Hill, allied with the
goldbug conspirators to rob and
plunder the government at »ill.
W hen the people have a voice
in electing the Senators of the
'

status of affaits no

HOW ABOUT THIS?
Remember that those who buy bonds
do not pay tax on them; on the other
hand, tax money is paid to them.) It
is said that J. Piermont Morgan
won.....forty million dollars, yet he
p avs (ax on only one hundred thousand,
w) ; ich j, | es .s than one-fourth ot one
per cen t. „f what he owns.
jj ow ls that, brother farmer?
We af , k the farmer this question j be
cause the farmer not only pays the tax
on a |i that he owns, but also on nfanj
0 f hi, debts. )
A farmer who has tio’hing, out gives j
|,i« note to a man for one hundred dol
|ars fora mule, has to pay tax on this
one hundred dollar debt. The ma 1 lie
,jrHs the mule from, pay n tax ou Vh<
note, which represent, the mule.
One man, in this case, pays tax on
the niule, anil the other on the cebl.
The bond holder takes a mortgage on
the mule, and all I Ire balance of ihe
■
property 1 within the limits of the Unit
*
<*d . .States, and , pays no tax at , all. n Still
all this seems to please the old j arty

GERMAN 7 KALI WORKS, York.
Nassau St., New
Qnarnox 3,-Will the cotton acreage
be increased, and why do you oppose it?
.‘Answer 8.—As Commissioner of Ag-‘
ricultnre I am in a position to know bet¬
ter than any other man in the state,
your prospective plans, and as your di¬
rect representative in the state govern¬
ment, I deem it my duty to warn you
against increasing the acreage in cotton.
The signs ull point to this intention.
The sale of mules throughout this and
adjoining states, is much larger than
for some years past, and the sales of fer¬
tilizer tags from this office, are almost
doublo what they were, at this time last
year.
Those facts and others that have
come to my knowledge, indicate with
certainty your intention to increase the
acreage in cotton, and 1 want to warn
you while it is not too late, of the dan¬
ger of such action. I have been a
farmer all my life, am one still, and ex¬
pect to continue in the same occupation
while I live; therefore I can write to
you with a full understanding of your
needs and desires, and in entire sympa¬
thy with you in every respect. You all
know that in 1894 with a 10,000,000 halo
crop, our cotton was sold at from 4 to
5 cents a pound. You know also that
with a crop of about 7,000,000 bales iu
1895 we sold our cotton at from 7 to
cents a pound, and it would have gold
for a still better price, but for the large
surplus left on hand by tho enormous
crop of the previous year. Now like
causes will always produce like re¬
sults, and therefore, as surely as the j
sun rises and sets, just so surely will a 1
10,000,000 bale crop of cotton for 1896
in tJie ra5ll „ s , i)rifei)f 4t o 5 «,nt.
a pound, nf while on the other hand, aj
CTop 7>000 000 bale8> following the;
present crop of about the same size, will
j us j. ft8 sure }y result in a price of 8 to 10
cents, or perhaps more, per pound.
If you are working a l-horse farm,
would you prefer to have at the end of
the year a scant supply of corn, potatoes,
syrup, meat, etc., with ten bales of cot
ton worth $250, or would you prefer to
, have plenty , of all kinds of .
provisions, a
bountiful supply of meat and seven
bales of cotton, worth from $800 to $350?
It should not take you long to make a
choice between these two propositions.
Tho first stands for increased cotton
acreage, the last for restricted cotton
acreage.
Again, look at the quotations now in
the Now York market and you will
find October and November cotton fu¬
tures at least half a cent a pound below
prices for February or March. There
is no reason on earth for this, except
that tlje speculators have already made
up their minds that you are bent on
planting a large cotton crop, and
are forcing down the price in anticipa
tion of a big yield.
On the other hand, could it be posi¬
tively known that tho next crop would
not exceed 7,000,000 bales, cotton would
today be bringing from 1 to 2 cents a
pound more than at present, and tho
quotations for uext fall and ♦inter
months would bo still higher. If one
year of bountiful provision crops, with
a moderate cotton crop, brought com
parutive prosperity to the farmers of our
state, which you will all admit is a fact,
what would be the result of ten years’
farming on the same plan? Why, my
friends, we would be the most prosper
on8 auc ^ therefore the best contented
,amin * community in the world, aud
