Dr. J. E. Pope, of Athens,lias
a fiddle whirh is 103 years old.
Atlanta now has two daily
papers published by colored
men.
John It. Hopkins,of Gwinnett
county, h;ts invcnlctl ;t cotton

cotton a day.
The new < olony town Fitz¬
gerald, its this State, is said to

pie out of employment in Heart h
of work.
The name of (feorgia Populist
published at Winder, (la., Jack
son county, has been changed
to that of The Jackson Econo¬
mist. It is now an 8 paged
paper.
This is :t your in winch no
adulterated political generali¬
ties can be admitted into the
People's Party. The peopli
don’t want anything but strictly
straight doctrine.
Let every Populist he loyal
to their party hy helping to sus¬
tain tho reform papers that are
lighting their battles. Sustain
your party papers thereby help¬
ing your party.
The Daily Tribune of Augus¬
ta lots been enlarged from a
four paged seven to an eight
paged five ui )hi paper. In
its new form it looks as pretty
as it sixteen year old girl in May
time. Long live the Tribune.
The taking of evidence in the
PJaek-Watson contest case
closed on Friday last. The case
will he laid before Congress as
quickly as it etui he prepared
for that body. The testimony
is said to be quite voluminous
and it will take the committee
a considerable time to wade
through it.
Which party will the demo¬
crats abuse in the next cam¬
paign. the republicans or the
Populists? Prior to the advent
of the People's Party, th*' re¬
publicans received all the abuse;
since then the Populists have
received it all. Will it he divid¬
ed this time, or will one party
receive it all ?—Farmer's Out¬
look.
*‘Aiul if thv brother be waxen
poor, and fallen in decay with
thee, then thou shalt relieve
him; yea, though he be a
stranger or a sojourner -.that he
may live with thee.”—Lev. xxv.,
35. Under the new dispensa
lion, the law is, if tbx biothei
be waxen poor and fallen in de
cay with thee, arrest him as a
vagrant and send him to prison.
Farmer’s Voice.
Mr. Watson has made out
such a good case in his contest
for Mr. Hack s seat in t ongress
ihat the Democratic papers
the handwriting on the
and are now declaring that
there is a coalition formed be
tween the People’s Party and
Republicans to unseat Mr.Black
It is true that a majority of the
election committee are not
Democrats as they were before,
and it is very evident that the
case will be passed upon its
merits and it is safe to say Mr.
will be seated.
f Aftl?F HYPOCRISY.
The I)enio-Repuhltcan plan to keep
the two obi parties in power is tariff
agitation, not tariff; not
not free trade, but tariff agitation. I he
silver standard countries have a bounty
on everything they sell in gold stand
ard countries of 100 per cent, caused
by the difference of exchange, The
agriculturists of Russia, India, < hin;>
and tlic Argentine Republic lirst de¬
stroyed our European market for " heat
and cotton by the difference of ex
change, which gives them in the'n
money twice as much for tlicii products
a - America receives lor her s in hei
money, and inasmuch as tlie great cos'
of production collies from fixeil charges,
taxed schools, churches, etc., which
must be paid before even necessaiii
an- supplied, the American produce'
cmootj ay his fixed charges at g->a
s am lard prices and compete with 11 1 •
Asiatic, whose fixed cliaigcs are p a “ j,j
i i i- J it. The result is that Ru-.-i •
and al! other silver standard countrit „
are prospering beyond a paralell, while
the gold standard countries ate being
impoverished and will soon he sunk
below tlic Asiatic level. The gold
men and the look-hot Ii-wa vs silvet
rot'n have been maneuvering from tin
commcnemeiit of this session lor tariff
agitation. A tariff bill to last two
years passed the House under Mi
Heed’s gag lule, and from that hour
till now the Demo-Republican party of
ilie Senate have been laboring to keep
all amendments off the bill. Why ?
Because the bid in simply tariff agita
turn. it in an emergency tariff bill.
It is not intended to benefit business,
because business conuot be organized
under a temporary tai If bill. It is not
intended to become a law, but it is in¬
tended for agitation, and it is a scheme
of the tariff men in the East to make
tariff the issue so they can grind to
powder the. productive industries of the
country, force them to an unequal
competition with the Asiatics with 100
per cunt difference of exchange against
them and build tip a tariff wall which
must be tit least four limes as high its
the McKinley bill to give them a mo¬
nopoly so that they can make the peo¬
ple of the South and West go naked or
pay them all they can earn. A more
selfish, a more cruel, a more insincere
scheme never was invented than the
attempt to give the people tariff agi¬
tation in the place of relief. No relief,
out tariff ag tation. For whose bene¬
fit? For the benefit of the goldbugs,
for the benefit of the setfieh eastern
manufacturer whose only desire is to
place the producers of ibis country
below the Asiatic and build up an un¬
healthy and grasping manufacturing
monopoly in the East. But they can¬
not build tlic wall high enough so that
they will not ultimately be destroyed.
Tariff with the present difference of
exchange, which is TOO per cent, can¬
not save them. But in their attempt
to get relief in that wav they will utter
ly.o ray the productive industries of
this country. A goldbug manufacturer
is the meanest goldbug thee is.
has not the miserable excuse to make
money for himself, but is willing lo
ilcslroy himself for the purpose of de¬
stroy ing the productive resources
this country. He is not only a gold
bug, ui'T he is a heyh, bug. Mauk
him !— Silver Knight.

inclined to think that Mr. Crisp

plexion of matters, it is not a

Department of Ageiccltubh.
Atlanta. Ga.. March 1. 1886.
The farmers have been the recipients
of so much gratuitous advice on tliecot
ton area question, that wo almost lu-si
in^^whic^hfiv^been^hmulered'iiito deaf All the indica
apparently increased ears, cotton
tions paint ta an area,
and notwithstanding the fa -f that every
argument has been exhausted to deter
them from this folly, the majority of
farmers seem determined to commit
themselves irrevtx-ably to the conse¬
quences of an overwhelming cotton
crop. It is perhaps too late to change
the determination of the large body of
farmers, that, we have already endeav¬
ored to accomplish by every means in
our power, but we still feel it our duty
to urge the safe and more conservative
course. If only a few men are in
fluouoed to choose the wiser plan, disas¬ to
them at least disappointment and
ter will be averted. It is immaterial
what our neighbor does; it is, in a large
mourar0f immaterial to us, individually.
whether the cotton area be large or
-mall. Lot us narrow this question
Itown to the boundaries or our own
'farms, and there let us decide it. We
may sot it down as a fact that the man
who succeeds this year is ho who re
gardlesa of outside influences, calmly
ma j £es up to plaut pro
vision crops, ample for all possible he
needs, and then ns much cotton as
can afford «;o manure highly and cul¬
tivate thoroughly. In any event he is
secure. Short or large crop, high or
low price, he stands tho first chance to
win, and if the details of preparation,
fertilization and cultivation are so man¬
aged that he *re*s tho largest yield from
the smallest area, he has mastered the
secret of successful cotton practical production.
It would seem that to the man
this would bo ao plain as to need no
demonstration. We can only stand
amazed, that, oven the present pri -e of
cotton can tempt those who have suffered
from the same mistake in tho past, to
again plunge themselves into this sea of
agricultural and financial troubles. It
will be too late after this month is
passed to alter onr decision. After this
we must follow out our policy, whatever
that may be. to the end. It is to be
hoped that some, if only a few, who are
now hesitating on the brink of uncer¬
tainty, may t-nru bnyk to the safer
gronjhl «'*» Carefu'ly considered and
successful business methods. A bale of
cotton and 6u bushels of corn to the acre
can be produced with less labor and
more profit i wu the usual one-third of
a bale and 8 r 10 bushels of corn. These
higher results are in the reach of most
southern farmers, and the system which
brings them about means emancipation
from debt, and a return of the pros
.perity to wb -h we have been so long
strangers. The foothold Which the farm¬
ers have gained in tho past few years is
due in large measure to a fuller under
standing and a more general adoption
of these principles, and it is to bo re
gretted that there is a disposition to de
serf a well proven and assured certainty
for a mere probability, inquiry columns however w.'il
ing. In the be
found a reply to a auestion which eov

quiries this mouth cover such a wide
scope that there is little left to add in
